I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 364 An Lingrong 20

Instead of going to Bitong Academy to change clothes and rest, Zhen Huan went directly to Xianyue Pavilion where Shen Meiyu was.

After arriving, Zhen Huan begged Shen Meizhuang to plead for her father.

Shen Meizhuang agreed immediately. Now that she was pregnant, the emperor would definitely give her this face, Shen Meizhuang thought confidently.

The protagonists are all equally conceited and think they are different from others.

The emperor did meet Shen Meizhuang, but he did not give in at all when Shen Meizhuang pleaded for mercy.

He has been tolerant enough and should behave himself now. Why is he still jumping around and not settling down at all?

The Emperor is very angry now. He is angry at Zhen Huan's greed and can't figure out the situation.

As a result, Shen Meizhuang's plea did not improve the situation in the Zhen Mansion, but made it worse.

Zhen Yuandao was demoted again, and this time he really became a small official. As for Zhen Huan, the emperor didn't want to give up the substitute for his beloved wife, so he gave her a lighter sentence and demoted her to a concubine, confining her in the Bitong Academy, and would not let her out until she returned to the palace.

Now, Zhen Huan couldn't come out, and everything was finally quiet.

Concubine Hua, who had been secretly pushing this matter, did not expect that Zhen Huan would be punished so severely by the Emperor.

But this result made Hua Fei very happy.

Something happened in Zhen Huan's mother's family, and she herself was demoted by the emperor. She wanted to see how arrogant Zhen Huan would be in the future and whether she dared to disobey her.

After having enough of Zhen Huan’s jokes, it’s Shen Meizhuang’s turn.

Shen Meizhuang is truly worthy of being Zhen Huan's sister, as their personalities are somewhat similar.

Before Shen Meizhuang was "pregnant", although she knew that she was dissatisfied with her, Shen Meizhuang did not dare to confront her head-on. Now that she is relying on her belly, she has become very crazy. She really is bringing trouble upon herself.

Since she wanted to die, she wouldn't stop her.

Thus, the emperor found out about Shen Meizhuang's fake pregnancy earlier than in the original plot. He was furious and pulled out the hairpin that the empress dowager had awarded to her from Shen Meizhuang's head in front of all the concubines.

Shen Meizhuang was disheartened. She didn't expect that the emperor would not listen to her explanation. She really didn't have a fake pregnancy. She was being wronged.

Looking at Shen Meizhuang's stupid appearance, the emperor felt very annoyed. He knew in his heart that there was an 80% chance that Shen Meizhuang was framed, but he didn't expect that Shen Meizhuang was so useless that she didn't notice anything wrong at all.

Without listening to Shen Meizhuang's explanation, the emperor demoted her to a concubine and locked her up in Xianyue Pavilion. In addition, two teams of guards patrolled on schedule and never allowed Shen Meizhuang to come out.

The two sisters, Zhen Huan and Shen Meizhuang, were both favored concubines in the past, but now both have lost their power. Accidents can happen at any time.

Concubine Hua originally thought that something had happened between Zhen Huan and Shen Meiyu, and that the Emperor would be disappointed and favor her more.

But she miscalculated. The emperor originally had high hopes for the child in Shen Meizhuang's belly, but it turned out to be fake.

Now only An Lingrong is pregnant, and he cares more about the unborn child.

As a result, the concubines discovered that the emperor visited the noble ladies more frequently.

Concubine Hua cursed the bitch in Qingliang Palace, and the other concubines who wanted to be favored felt uncomfortable too.

The Queen's reaction was also very strong. Although she was jealous of the Emperor's favor for An Lingrong, she was more concerned about getting rid of the baby in An Lingrong's belly.

Thinking of this, the Queen felt a little frustrated. Her tricks that had always worked for her in the past were of no use to An Lingrong. She was still fine and nothing happened to her.

She even knew that An Lingrong was carrying a healthy baby and didn't even need to take any pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

How could she be so lucky.

The queen was jealous and suddenly thought of the past. She felt sad again. She wished her Honghui was still there.

She wouldn't have to live such a hard and painful life anymore.

Afterwards, the Queen did not give up. She tried various methods again to get rid of An Lingrong's desire for the child, but still failed.

An Lingrong was also a little annoyed. Although she wanted to use the Queen to suppress Concubine Hua, it didn't mean that she had to endure it every time.

Soon, news came that the queen had another headache. This time it was very serious. She was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of bed. She needed to stay in bed and rest for a while.

Without the Queen's constant trouble-making, An Lingrong enjoyed her summer life in the Old Summer Palace.

The weather gradually got colder, and it was time to return to the palace. When she returned, An Lingrong's belly was already very big, and she was eight months pregnant.

The imperial physician took her pulse and confirmed that the dragon fetus in her belly was healthy and could ride in a carriage back to the palace.

An Lingrong was not surprised either, as she knew her body best.

A little further back from the carriage where An Lingrong was sitting, Zhen Huan was wearing a plain Manchu dress with only two silver hairpins inserted in her hair. Her cheeks looked thin and sallow, and it was obvious that she had not had a good time during her imprisonment.

When Zhen Huan was first imprisoned in Bitong Academy, because Shen Meiyu was pregnant, the people under her did not dare to offend Hui Guiren's good sister too much.

Although the meals delivered daily contained little meat, the vegetables were fresh and Zhen Huan could still accept it.

But soon, something happened to Shen Meizhuang, and Zhen Huan's treatment took a sharp turn for the worse.

The meal that was served was very hard, and no one knew how long it had been stored. The vegetables were also rotten and not edible at all. Zhen Huan really couldn't eat it, so she went hungry for several meals.

She really couldn't hold on any longer. No matter how strong Zhen Huan's self-esteem was, hunger still made her lower her head.

How can you be healthy if you eat unhealthy meals every day?

She also figured it out. Although her father had an accident, the whole family was still alive and well, which was better than anything else.

Her family still has some money, so even if she is outside, she must be living a good life.

What she is most worried about now is not her family, but herself.

She didn't want to keep living like this and being bullied. Even if she hated the emperor, she wanted to climb up.

Zhen Huan's ambition burned again.

After returning to the palace, Zhen Huan began to plan how to gain favor.

Now she is just a promise-maker, and there are only two people left by her side, one is Liu Zhu and the other is Xiao Yunzi.

She didn't have enough helpers, which made Zhen Huan helpless, but there was nothing she could do but to take long-term measures.

While Zhen Huan was planning how to gain favor, An Lingrong, who had returned to the palace for more than a month, was ready to give birth.

After several hours of labor, An Lingrong successfully gave birth to a healthy prince. The emperor was very pleased and promoted An Lingrong to Hepin, with the main seat in Zhongcui Palace.

The emperor did not give others a chance to react and told the matter on the spot. Even if the empress dowager or the queen wanted to stop it, it was impossible.

An Lingrong was in good spirits at this time because she had heard the emperor's reward to her.

When she was about to give birth, An Lingrong knew that several concubines wanted to raise her child, such as Concubine Jing. She knew that Concubine Duan also had such thoughts, but was hindered by Concubine Hua.
