The fifth elder brother Yongqi is five years old. His intelligence is deeply loved by everyone in the palace.However, in this palace full of intrigues and struggles, everyone is planning for their own future and destiny.Hailan mentioned to Ruyi that the emperor seemed to want to make Yong Cong the prince, which aroused the attention of the queen and many maids.
Although Yong Cong was young, his frailty made the queen worried.Doctor Qi's diagnosis made the queen even more desperate. He admitted that the seventh prince was born prematurely and was weak, and that his life before the age of ten was full of dangers.The queen's heart became increasingly heavy. She hoped to have another brother, but Doctor Qi told her that it was almost impossible to get pregnant again because of her cold body.Therefore, the seventh prince became the queen's only hope.
The emperor learned that the queen suffered severe losses after giving birth, but major events in the palace came one after another, and it was difficult for the queen to preside over them.At this critical moment, the emperor turned his attention to Ruyi.On the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, the emperor and Ruyi were admiring the moon under the night sky, and he asked Ruyi to make a wish.Ruyi admitted that she only wanted to be with the emperor for a long time, and she hoped to spend this life with him.The emperor was moved by Ruyi's true feelings, and he promised that he would never leave Ruyi.
However, the battle in the palace did not subside.The Queen was weak after childbirth and the Queen Mother was old. The Emperor wanted Ruyi to take charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace.Ruyi originally wanted Concubine Chun to manage the concubine together, but the emperor believed that Concubine Chun was mild-tempered and soft-eared, making it difficult for her to be qualified for the job.In desperation, Ruyi had to shoulder this important task alone.
In order to express his love and trust for Ruyi, the emperor specially gave Ruyi a gift - a palace-shaped beaded flower in the shape of a rose.This is specially made by the emperor for the Chinese Valentine's Day, and each concubine has a different style.The rose is unique to Ruyi, which means that the emperor and Ruyi have a unique relationship.The emperor personally brought beads and flowers to Ruyi, and the two agreed to be together forever.
However, life in the palace was not always peaceful.On the night of the Ghost Festival, it rained heavily in the palace.The seventh prince suddenly started crying, and the queen quickly asked for the Buddha statue in her palace.At the same time, news came that Concubine Jia was having a difficult childbirth. Although the queen was worried, she still remained calm.In Qixiang Palace, Ying'er secretly rejoiced when she saw that Concubine Jia was having difficulty giving birth.She took the opportunity to go to the emperor for help, but was told that the emperor was discussing something and not to be disturbed.
At this critical moment, Ying'er met Jin Zhong.Jin Zhong saw that Ying'er was being bullied in the palace, so he proposed that he could help Ying'er rise to power.If it succeeds, Ying'er will be the ladder to Zhong's superior position; if it fails, the two will comfort each other, and no one will dare to bully Ying'er in the future.In order to get out of the predicament, Ying'er decided to accept Jin Zhong's proposal.
When Concubine Jia's eighth prince was full moon, she was dissatisfied because the emperor favored the seventh prince.In front of Ruyi, she beat Ying'er to vent her anger.When the emperor rushed to the scene, he saw that Ying'er was smart and somewhat similar to Ruyi, so he kept her by his side.Ruyi took the opportunity to ask the emperor to let Yan Wan out of the palace and promise her to Ling Yunche.However, the emperor left Yan Wan behind as a palace maid.
Yan Wan didn't want to do it, but she had no choice but to disobey the emperor's order.After she came to Yangxin Hall, Jin Zhong told her that only by becoming the emperor's concubine could she achieve success.In order to change her destiny, Yan Wan began to work hard to dress herself up, hoping to attract the emperor's attention.She mentioned her encounter with the emperor in an attempt to get closer to him.Although the emperor recognized that Yan Wan had taken care of his eldest brother, he didn't care about her words.Seeing that the emperor was not interested in her, Yan Wan proposed to measure and re-cut the emperor's clothes.In the process, she skillfully approached the emperor.When the emperor suggested that Yan Wan measure his size in person, Jin Zhong suddenly broke into the room.When he saw Yan Wan's arms wrapped around the emperor's waist, he was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees.The emperor asked Jinzhong to pass the decree and Feng Yanwan agreed to be granted residence in Yongshou Palace.
That night Yanwan went to bed and met Ling Yunche by the roadside.Ling Yunche asked if anyone forced Yan Wanyan to say that she was voluntary.Ling Yunche was heartbroken after learning that he was just a way out for Yan Wan.Yan Wan said that after being bullied over the years, she realized that only she could save herself.She said that she was walking to bed now because she wanted to use her feet to measure how far the road from palace maid to beloved concubine was.In the end, Yan Wan knew she was sorry and called Ling Yunche "Brother Yunche" but Ling Yunche changed her name to "Wei" and the two of them broke off their friendship from then on.
In this palace full of intrigues and struggles, everyone's fate is full of unknowns.However, no matter what the future holds, they must work hard to plan for their own future and destiny.
