The emperor was practicing his marksmanship and said that these foreign guns were far from the Zambalat muskets that Fu Heng had captured on the battlefield before, and it was the foreign guns that Fu Heng sent that could shoot further.Fu Heng mentioned that Zhang Tingyu died of illness. Although he was confused in his later years and did many wrong things, he was still an old official who had made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty. The emperor had ordered that he should be allowed to enjoy the Ancestral Temple in compliance with the late emperor's edict.The emperor had been fighting with Zhang Tingyu for a long time, but now that he suddenly left like this, the emperor felt lonely and guilty.The emperor asked about Fu Heng's visit to the Old Summer Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother. Fu Heng said that the Queen Mother was worshiping Buddha, so he did not see the Queen Mother. However, when he saw your concubine, he told her that Master Aibida had brought back a stunning beauty to present to the Emperor.I thought that within three days, your concubine would return to the Forbidden City.Fu Heng was usually busy with official duties, so the emperor asked him to send An'er to the palace to study with the princes.The imperial doctor said that Yingluo's liver and stomach were not in harmony, and she had stomach pains due to her irregular diet.The emperor felt sorry for Yingluo and reprimanded Mingyu for how he served his concubine.The emperor felt deeply loved and came to the Yanxi Palace to advise Yingluo not to be brave when she was sick. He accidentally saw the small scar where Yingluo had been bleeding. He was heartbroken and ordered Yingluo not to write anymore.But Yingluo couldn't obey her orders because she couldn't give up halfway.The emperor was angry and turned around to leave. Yingluo stopped the emperor and asked him if he still remembered his promise that he would not let anyone bully her.Everyone saw the emperor coming to Yanxi Palace. If the emperor left, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to stay in the Forbidden City any longer.The emperor decided to stay at Yanxi Palace tonight, so he arranged for people to clean up the side hall in Yingluo's honor.In the middle of the night, Yingluo quietly came to the side hall and got into the emperor's bed.When the emperor found out, he was angry and wanted to drive Yingluo away.Yingluo pretended to be aggrieved and said that there were mice in the bedroom and she was afraid.The emperor wanted to call someone to catch the mouse, but Yingluo refused to leave. She grabbed the emperor's arm and jumped directly on the emperor's body to hug him tightly. At the same time, she explained that she was afraid of dying when she took the anti-tumor medicine and did not want to die like her mother.Because of the difficulty in giving birth, I asked Ye Tianshi for some anti-pregnancy medicine.The emperor felt particularly distressed when he heard this, but it was not just about the anti-child medicine that made him angry.Yingluo begged the emperor not to be angry and took the initiative to kiss the emperor. That night, the emperor favored Yingluo.The emperor looked at the sleeping Yingluo and said to himself that what he had always wanted to ask Yingluo was another question.Early the next morning, Yingluo heard movement outside the bed curtain, thinking it was the emperor, and excitedly opened the curtain, but she didn't expect it was Mingyu, and her eyes were full of disappointment.Mingyu teases Yingluo, but she believes that Yingluo can still capture the emperor's heart.This time, Yingluo felt a deep sense of crisis.Xiao Quanzi came to report that the emperor went to Lijingxuan to have breakfast with concubine Shun, and Yingluo felt particularly uncomfortable.The queen summons Yingluo, Concubine Jia and Concubine Shu to a gathering. Now Concubine Shun is their common enemy, so they have to discuss countermeasures.Mingyu always felt that they were like a gathering of bad women. In fact, Yingluo just wanted to see what the queen and the others were going to do, and then explore the true and false nature of the concubine.Mingyu was worried that Yingluo would board the queen's pirate ship and never return.The emperor arranged for Yingluo to teach concubine Shun etiquette. Concubine Shun was practicing how to walk in flowerpot-soled shoes, but she accidentally fell and fell on Yingluo. She apologized to Yingluo repeatedly.Mingyu picked up the jade pendant that Shun Bin had dropped. The maid beside Shun Bin said that the jade pendant was carved by the emperor himself and given to Shun Bin.Shun Concubine said she didn’t know what the carvings on it meant. After reading it, Yingluo said that the emperor was praising Shun Concubine.Shunbi knew that Yingluo didn't really hate her, otherwise she would have been kicked out early.She was just too lonely and wanted to find someone to talk to. She didn't wear the jade pendant just to show off.Yingluo didn't want to listen to concubine Shun's words, so she ordered the guests to be seen off.Yi Zhu couldn't understand why Shun concubine came to be humiliated. Shun concubine liked Yingluo. She believed that a cold-faced good man was far better than those sinister women with smiles on their faces.The Queen Mother personally directed Yingluo to organize the ceremony for Princess An, and Yingluo asked the Queen for advice.The Queen praised Yingluo for making good preparations, but she still needed a small Buddha flower to be burned in front of the altar, which would definitely make the Queen Mother very happy.The queen mentioned that the Queen Mother had not met Shun Concubine yet, and asked Yingluo to introduce Shun Concubine to the Queen Mother on the anniversary of Princess Anhe's death.Yingluo was uneasy, the queen was about to take action, and it seemed that concubine Shun was going to be in trouble.During the sacrificial ceremony, as soon as Concubine Shun walked to the altar table, the Buddha flowers spontaneously ignited. Yingluo quickly stepped forward to retrieve the portrait of Princess An and gave it to the Queen Mother.The shaman's wife said that Princess He'an died in infancy and had no chance to meet in the West. It was the Queen Mother who wanted the princess to be reborn in the bliss of the West. It was supposed to be completed in two years, but it was a pity that it was destroyed by an evil spirit today.As soon as the concubine appeared, the Buddha spontaneously ignited and all the offerings were destroyed. The concubine was an unknown thing.Concubine Shun argued that she had been framed, but the Queen Mother refused to listen and ordered Concubine Shun to be taken away.Concubine Shun begged for mercy and let the Queen Mother take a good look at her.The Queen Mother raised Concubine Shun's chin, as if she saw something on her face, and then asked her to come with her.The Queen Mother asked when Concubine Shun's birthday was, and Concubine Shun said it was the fifteenth day of September. After hearing this, the Queen Mother arranged for Aunt Liu to take Concubine Shun down.Yingluo was curious about why the Queen Mother suddenly changed her mind after originally believing what Mrs. Shaman said.The Queen Mother mentioned that when Princess He'an was seriously ill, she prayed to all the temples and was even willing to lose ten years of her life in exchange for He'an's life.At that time, an eminent monk said that he could leave a mark on the child. Even if he could not keep it in this life, he would still have a chance to reunite in the next life. So he was cruel and made two marks on the corners of He An's mouth. He just discovered Shun's chin.There are those two marks.The Queen Mother believed in the theory of reincarnation, which Yingluo found ridiculous.The emperor came after hearing the news and advised the queen mother not to believe what Mrs. Shaman said.The Queen Mother thought that it was contradictory for the Emperor to honor Mrs. Sam and now not let her believe Mrs. Shaman's words.The emperor explained that Concubine Shun was just an ordinary beauty, not an ominous thing, and reprimanded Yingluo for allowing her to be by the Queen Mother's side, not for her to sow discord and exclude dissidents.Yingluo was very sad. She had never said a bad word about her concubine.The Queen Mother reminded the Emperor that he had misunderstood Yingluo, but the Emperor thought that the Queen Mother was too partial to Yingluo, and Yingluo was not as kind as he thought.The emperor and concubine clasped their hands and left. Yingluo felt particularly uncomfortable seeing them.
