The next day, as soon as Lu Wanning got up early in the morning, he finished breakfast, and Qingzhi came in and reported that it was Zhou Cairen who came to ask for a meeting.

Lu Wanning held the rattle in her hand and teased the fourth princess while not raising her head, "I won't see you."

When Qingzhi heard this, she responded with a smile and went out to tell Zhou Cairen who was waiting at the door, "Zhou Cairen, please come back, our master doesn't miss you."

Zhou Cairen looked at Qingzhi with a solemn face in front of him, bit his lip, and asked in a low voice: "Do your master know everything?"

Qingzhi glanced at Zhou Cairen and asked back, "Zhou Cairen said what does our master know?"

"No... nothing." Zhou Cairen saw that Qingzhi refused to admit it, and stopped asking more questions. But when she turned around and left, she said softly, "I actually don't want to harm Concubine Zhuang."

Qingzhi didn't say anything. After Zhou Cairen left, Qingzhi said what Zhou Cairen said to Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning sneered coldly and said, "I have done everything I want or not. What's the use of this?"

Qingzhi nodded, "What the master said is, I just don't know when the emperor will deal with Zhou Cairen?"

Lu Wanning said, "Wait, tomorrow is the birthday of the Empress Dowager. No matter what, you should wait until the birthday of the Empress Dowager."

After the Empress Dowager's birthday, she waited for a few more days. Just when Lu Wanning was wondering if the emperor did not plan to deal with Zhou Cairen, thinking that if the emperor did not plan to deal with it, she would have to find a way to repay her for her own return.

Lu Wanning finally heard the emperor's disposal of Zhou Cairen.

Zhou Cairen was demoted to a commoner and was incarnated into the cold palace.

Zhou Cairen breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the imperial edict and felt a little regretful.

Although the sword hanging above her head finally fell down, so she didn't have to continue to be nervous, Prince Yu was still fine.

Although the emperor forbids Prince Yu's foot, even after returning to the capital, the emperor still lets Prince Yu be in custody in the mansion. However, Prince Yu is still Prince Yu, enjoying the noble life of the prince and living here well.

In the world.

She has been waiting for so many years but still has not been able to avenge her sister.

The imperial edict for Zhou Cairen to be inscribed in the cold palace was issued the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Zhou Cairen is not favored. Such an unpopular concubine was inscribed in the cold palace and did not cause any trouble in the harem, but Luo Chengjing sent it on the Mid-Autumn Festival.

A few imperial edicts can be said to have caused huge waves in the harem.

Luo Chengjing ordered Lu Wanning to be the concubine of Shu, Chen Zhaoyi as Concubine Kang, Wei Zhaoyi as Concubine Xian, and Cui Jieyu as Concubine Zhaoyi.

In other words, among the concubines in the harem who went to the Summer Resort this time, all the other concubines except Concubine Jing were upgraded to the first level.

The concubines who were unable to go to the Summer Resort in the harem heard the news, were either envious or jealous, while the concubine Jing, who went to the Summer Resort together but failed to be promoted, was angry and sad.

Concubine Jing felt a fire burning in her heart, and the fire burned her to lose her mind.

"ah!!!"

Concubine Jing screamed and smashed all the things she could with her hands, then sat back on the chair dejectedly and said in a hoarse voice: "What does this mean by the emperor? Why are everyone who has been promoted to the grade, but stayed alone.

I was given one, isn’t it obvious that everyone would make me laugh at me?”

"Empress, please calm down first. I think the emperor has not promoted you this time because you are already a concubine, so it is not easy to advance to you."

Sujuan looked at Concubine Jing with red eyes and whispered: "Empress, think about it, if you go up to the top, you will be the imperial concubine or directly promoted to the queen. If the emperor promoted you to the imperial concubine this time,

That only means that the emperor has no intention of letting you be the queen. How many people in my court who were named the Imperial Concubine finally became the queen?”

"But because the emperor did not advance to you this time, after Xia Meiren gave birth to the prince, you have a prince around you and the general's help, wouldn't it be natural to ascend to the throne?"

After hearing this, Concubine Jing was silent for a while, nodded and said, "You are right. I shouldn't care about this. What I should think most now is how to let the emperor give it to me for upbringing after Meiren Xia gave birth to the little prince."

In the past, she and Lu Wanning were the only ones qualified to raise the prince. Concubine Xi had long been no longer a threat. She was sure to raise the prince for Meiren Xia.

But now Chen Zhaoyi has become Kangpin, Wei Zhaoyi has become Xianpin. Not to mention that both of them are qualified to educate the prince, Cui Jieyu has also become Zhaopin.

Before, she didn't take Zhaoyi from the palace to heart, but the emperor's actions this time made her understand that as long as the emperor thought, the emperor could make these Zhaoyi a concubine who was qualified to raise children.

Therefore, whether she can educate the child in Xia Meiren's belly has become a variable.

She had to make good plans. What she had to do now was to first determine whether the child in Xia Meiren's belly was a man or a woman.

If she worked hard for half a day and the child in Xia Meiren's belly was a princess in the end, she would have suffered a lot.

Concubine Jing thought for a while and asked Sujuan: "Is it almost five months since Meiren Xia is pregnant?"

Sujuan calculated the days and said, "If you go back to the queen, in ten days, Mei Meiren will be pregnant for five months."

Concubine Jing nodded, "When the time comes, let Doctor Zhang take a good hand for Meiren Xia to see if it is a male or female child."

"Yes, Empress."

At this time, in Ruichang Palace, Qingzhi and others were surrounding Lu Wanning to congratulate Lu Wanning on becoming a concubine.

Lu Wanning was naturally happy to be promoted to the throne, but this promotion was a bit sudden for Lu Wanning. After giving birth to the fourth princess, the emperor had never promoted the promotion. Lu Wanning thought that the emperor did not plan to promote him.

Thinking that the emperor had saved up for a while, he banned everyone from the seats.

Lu Wanning looked at the joyful faces in front of her and couldn't help but feel a little dazed. She has been in the palace for more than four years and has now become a concubine. She has to think about how she will go in the future.

And the three Concubine Kang, Concubine Xian and Cui Zhaoyi, who were promoted to the throne with Lu Wanning, were a little confused by the sudden imperial edict.

They never thought that they would be able to advance to the throne after going to the summer resort. If they were favored by the emperor when they were in the summer resort, and when they came back, the emperor promoted their position, they could figure it out, but the emperor was avoiding the summer resort.

He obviously performed mediocrely to them when he was in the villa.

Jin Huan looked at Cui Jieyu's frowning and thoughtful look, and smiled and advised: "Zhaoyi, don't think too much. Anyway, no matter what, it is always a good thing to advance to the position."

Cui Jieyu laughed when she heard this, "You are right. Such a happy event should make everyone happy. There are rewards for everything in the Chenxiang Pavilion."
