On a sunny morning, the emperor patrolled the palace in a sedan chair.Suddenly, he unexpectedly met the eldest princess.The emperor hurriedly ordered people to stop the sedan chair to show respect for this royal noble.The eldest princess saluted the emperor, but the emperor waved his hand and said there was no need to be more polite.He said with emotion: Brother and sister have not seen each other for many years, why bother to stick to these red tapes.“However, the eldest princess insisted: ”The etiquette between monarch and minister cannot be abolished, nor can the love between brother and sister be forgotten.“Her answer made the emperor feel helpless.
After the eldest princess saluted, the emperor took out a golden grasshopper cage from his sleeve, which was a gift given to him before the eldest princess got married.The emperor tried to evoke the good memories between brother and sister.However, the eldest princess said calmly: "As a caged person, how could I like to play with such caged insects?"”Her words revealed a deep sadness and helplessness.After hearing this, the emperor felt guilty in his heart.
In order to make up for past mistakes, the emperor decided to let the eldest princess move to Cining Palace.However, the eldest princess politely declined the emperor's kindness.She said that after she gave birth, she would naturally accompany the emperor to fulfill her filial duty.The emperor looked at the eldest princess's retreating figure and couldn't help but feel deeply in his heart.He understood that his sister would never forgive him again.
At the same time, Concubine Jia was suffering in the palace.She was trapped in the palace and didn't know when she would be released. She missed her children very much.After the emperor pacified Jungar, he redrawn the map, all of which made her feel extremely anxious and helpless.
In another corner of the palace, the emperor and Ruyi were discussing state affairs.The emperor mentioned the contribution of Jin's mother clan, the Yu family, in this battle, and planned to restore Jin's status as a noble concubine when all nations came to congratulate her.Although Ruyi was unhappy, she could only express that state affairs were of paramount importance and asked the emperor to make a decision.
After Concubine Jia was restored to her throne, the emperor also promised Si Age to visit Qixiang Palace frequently to pay her respects.This made Concubine Jia very happy.She has been paying attention to the marriage of her fourth brother, and has fallen in love with Prince Yi's descendants.However, the envoy of the Yu family proposed to the emperor that Yongxun should be the heir of Queen Xiaoxian, which made Si Age feel very inappropriate.
On the occasion when the concubines paid their respects to the queen, Concubine Jia once again became the center of attention.Yanwan used the Eighth Prince of the Holy Ancestor to warn Concubine Jia, but Concubine Jia didn't care and even uttered arrogant words.Her remarks aroused everyone's dissatisfaction and anger, and Ruyi had to remind her to be careful with her words.
However, Concubine Jia did not restrain her words and deeds.She continued to offend her ancestors and the emperor, which made Ruyi very angry.After the emperor learned about it, he rushed to visit Ruyi and learned that she was pregnant.The emperor was overjoyed and asked the imperial physician to take good care of Ruyi.
After learning the news that the Queen was happy, the Emperor planned to prepare for Yongxun's marriage and asked Concubine Jia if there was a suitable candidate.Concubine Jia took the opportunity to recommend Princess Yi's second daughter, Gege, whom she liked.However, the emperor reprimanded her for having bad intentions, and also mentioned that the fourth elder brother had murdered his father in Mulan Paddock.Concubine Jia repeatedly claimed that she was wronged and believed that the queen had harmed her child.She cried to the emperor and complained that Hailan had assassinated her fourth and sixth elder brothers, but Hailan swore that she had never done such a thing.
The emperor kicked Concubine Jia to the ground and angrily accused her of plotting to murder the emperor's heirs and the cholera harem.He ordered Yongxuan to be named Baylor, marry Prince Yi's second daughter Gege as his direct descendant Fujin, and from now on, his fourth elder brother would be the heir to Prince Lu.From then on, the emperor never had such a child again.He also deposed Concubine Jia as a commoner and imprisoned her to death in Qixiang Palace.The fourth elder brother was forcibly dragged out of Qixiang Palace and was not allowed to see Concubine Jia.
In another corner of the palace, the fifth elder brother accidentally saw the emperor's furious scene.At night, he sat alone in the courtyard.Hailan came to him and told him that Si Age was the one who caused his own trouble.She reminded the fifth elder brother to abide by his duties as a minister to keep his life safe.Although the fifth elder brother was puzzled, he still remembered E Niang's teachings.
When the queen was pregnant in the fifth month, Qin Tianjian reported the auspicious omen to the emperor.The emperor was very happy and promised that if it worked, he would be rewarded heavily.However, at the same time, Si Age took Fujin to the palace to pay respects but was rejected by the emperor.The fourth elder brother could only take Fujin out of the palace to visit his mother-in-law.However, they could not see Concubine Jia without the emperor's permission.
In another corner of the palace, Mrs. Yu sent a portrait of a woman to the emperor.The emperor named the Song family among them nobles and moved them to live in the Old Summer Palace.All this caused an uproar in the palace but the emperor seemed not to care.He only cares about his queen and future princes, hoping that they can bring more auspiciousness and prosperity to the royal family.
