In order to preserve the power of her mother's family, the queen decided to let Hongshi marry her cousin Qingying.

Qingying was arrogant and mentioned the past when her aunt cheated on Fujin.The queen was most taboo about this matter, so she became angry and decided to point Qingying to Si Age as a cheat.

Secondly, it would also cause trouble for Concubine Xi.The queen privately asked the ministers to persuade the emperor to establish an heir, and also mentioned the sixth elder brother.

At the same time, she also decided to refer the fourth elder brother's maid Gao to him as his concubine in the future..Prince Guo brought Meng Jingxian to the palace to pay his respects, and met Zhen Huan and others by chance. The two had a close relationship, which made Zhen Huan feel very uncomfortable.Yu Yin went to the palace to visit Zhen Huan and told her that she was bullied and ostracized by Jing Xian. This time, she went to the palace to stay for several days just to avoid her. But at this time, Jing Xian came to visit, revealed her pregnancy, and tested Zhen Huan's feelings towards Guo Jun.The king's attitude resulted in nothing being achieved.
Yu Yin, who was hiding in the inner room and eavesdropping, was hit hard, but still said that he would protect the prince's child.The third elder brother Hongshi had a crush on Ying Guixin, but was discovered by Concubine Jing and others, thinking that Ying Guixin was the emperor's concubine, so how could he have an affair with the prince.Concubine Jing's men intercepted the love poem written by the third elder brother to Guiren Ying and reported the matter to the emperor.
