Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1101 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 27

The news that Concubine Hua, no, Concubine Nian was stripped of her title and punished with house arrest because she angered the Queen quickly spread throughout the harem and the Yangxin Palace.

Big Fat Ju couldn't help but want to open Concubine Nian's brain to see what was inside. He had always been in front of Concubine Nian and reminded her to be respectful to the Queen, so why did she get carried away so easily?

In order to add fuel to the fire of Nian Gengyao of the previous dynasty, he was ready to enthrone Concubine Nian as a noble concubine. As a result, Concubine Nian was deprived of her title and was punished with house arrest, which made it difficult for him to move for a while.

There was no movement in the Yangxin Palace, but Fatty Ju rested in the Jingren Palace at night. This was a signal to the concubines in the harem, a signal to support the queen's authority.

When Concubine Wan heard the news, she didn't know what she felt. She certainly thought that the emperor should give the queen as much honor as possible. But she was not the queen. She was just one of the many concubines in the harem. Even though she was pregnant now, she could only be a concubine at most.

Most of the others were watching Concubine Nian's show. It was a pity that Concubine Nian was under house arrest and they couldn't watch her show first, but everyone was still in a good mood.

The feelings of Noble Lady Fucha and Noble Lady Guaerjia were a little more complicated than those of others. The Queen scolded Concubine Nian so easily and mercilessly, and even ignored the power of General Nian of the previous dynasty. Whether it was depriving Guo of his title or confining him to his house, it seemed that the Queen just did what she wanted to do.

For the girls who came from the Manchu noble families, the empress inherently represented authority second only to the emperor. The joy they felt over their pregnancy was greatly reduced, and they could no longer be excited, which in turn made the harem much more peaceful.

However, while the harem was peaceful, the front court was suddenly in turmoil. Nian Gengyao was really a little confused. He even impeached the queen in court, saying that Jiang Xinxin had no dignity as a queen mother and arbitrarily suppressed concubines in the harem. This was referring to the fact that his sister, Concubine Nian, was once again deprived of her title by the innocent Guo.

There are also other charges such as not paying attention to the royal heir, which are all made up and just to embarrass Jiang Xinxin.

And the fact was indeed as Nian Gengyao expected. The queen had been impeached by ministers in the previous dynasty, and her reputation had already been damaged.

Big Fat Orange was stunned, but he had been with Jiang Xinxin for quite some time, so he opened his mouth to question her: "Okay, okay, how come General Nian, who is far away in Sichuan and Shaanxi, knows everything about my harem's affairs?!"

Ever since Longkodo passed away, Nian Gengyao had completely lost control. Although he became more and more arrogant, he also knew that spying on the harem was not a crime that could be easily evaded. He immediately lost his voice and was no longer as passionate as before, wishing to dethrone the empress and replace her with his sister, Concubine Nian.

In fact, Big Fat Orange could really tolerate Nian Gengyao's arrogance and domineeringness. After all, Nian Gengyao was not capable of doing things, and he was the kind of person who could not be replaced in a short period of time. Big Fat Orange's tolerance for him was naturally very high.

Even if Nian Gengyao sold official positions and titles as long as it was not exposed, it would not be a big deal. At most he would be reprimanded a few times and demoted. There would always be a time when he would be needed again.

But Nian Gengyao should never have contacted Prince Dun. The two old guys were discussing treason, which made Big Fat Orange unbearable.

Prince Heng began to sigh as soon as he got home, and shook his head at his mother who looked eager, "Now I can only do meritorious service and use my meritorious service to ensure that Old Nine is released safely."

Concubine Yi couldn't help crying out loud.

The fifth brother is also her biological son. Even at such an old age, he still has to use his own merits to save his younger brother. Although she really hopes that the ninth brother will come out, she can't be too unfair to the fifth brother and his grandchildren. They are also her biological grandchildren!

After figuring it out, Concubine Yi wiped her face with her hand, forced a bitter smile and said to her eldest son: "Don't worry about it. Do whatever you want. Your merits can only be used for your own children and grandchildren. Don't worry about the ninth son."

"I used to hate the way Concubine De was partial to Prince Fourteen, but now she is so lucky that Prince Four, who was not favored by her, became the emperor and brought her the honor of Empress Dowager."

"I know that you and Lao Jiu have never been treated equally. I said I wouldn't let you do anything for Lao Jiu, but when you took the initiative to do those things, I never stopped you, and even acquiesced in my heart."

"What happened in the past is fine, but the current situation between the Tenth Brother and Nian Gengyao is fundamentally different. You can be a meritorious official who suppressed the rebellion, but you cannot use this achievement to exchange for the Ninth Brother's release from the clan residence."

"I am your mother and your child's maternal grandmother."

Prince Heng turned his head and quietly wiped the tears from his face. To be honest, during the time of the late emperor, even when the fight for succession was very tense, he was not affected at all because he was raised by the Queen Mother. Even those brothers who wanted to be on the throne had to be friendly and respectful to him so as to show their good character in front of the late emperor.

But he had done dangerous things for his mother and brother. Although he was willing to do so, he always felt uncomfortable.

Now that Concubine Yi has completely woken up, Prince Heng is of course very happy and even breathed a sigh of relief.

Prince Heng is not as love-deprived as the fat guy in the palace. Especially since Concubine Yi cared the most about their eleventh brother who died at the age of ten. After their eleventh brother passed away, the troublesome ninth brother occupied more of Concubine Yi's attention.

Prince Heng himself was a child who was raised and loved by his grandmother. He did not even have to get up early with his brothers to go to the study, and he could have snacks at any time to fill his stomach. Even the late emperor did not have many requirements for his schoolwork. If he had not been injured and disfigured on the battlefield, his brothers might have feared him.

When Prince Heng was on leave, he hurried to Prince Dun's mansion with a pot of wine.

Prince Dun was not very familiar with the fifth brother. After all, although the ninth and fifth brothers were brothers, the relationship between these two brothers was only slightly better than that between the fourth and fourteenth brothers.

It was just because Concubine Yi left the palace and lived in Prince Heng's residence, and Prince Dun visited Concubine Yi more often, which showed that they were close.

Prince Dun was still laughing: "Why would Fifth Brother ask me to drink?"

Prince Heng snorted coldly, had the place cleared, and poured a glass of wine for the Tenth Prince himself. Then he said, "I know all about your little moves with Nian Gengyao, and the one in the palace must have known about it a long time ago."

Prince Dun's face immediately darkened, "So Prince Heng is going to use me as a token of his loyalty?"

Prince Heng laughed out loud, "What kind of surrender is that? Nian Gengyao was originally a bannerman under the Fourth Brother. It was natural for him to work for the Fourth Brother, the leader of the banner. Later, he even had an ambiguous relationship with the Eighth Brother for a while. You don't think that the Fourth Brother has become more cunning as he has grown older, do you?"

Prince Dun was embarrassed, but Prince Heng didn't give him a chance to argue: "I don't care what you want to do by colluding with Nian Gengyao. I came here today just to warn you not to go after Old Nine. He may be imprisoned in the clan house now, but the children in his house are not decent anyway. As their uncle, I can take care of them."

"We, the Guoluo clan, are different from your Niuhulu clan and Mongolia. We don't have such a deep foundation to waste. The prince and Concubine Yi don't ask for anything else, just that the ninth brother is alive."
