Chapter 203 The Tenth Royal Sons and Daughters
That day, Hongli told Lang Ye that he would protect her and the children, and that after he told Lang Ye to rest assured that he would handle the matter, Lang Ye really stopped interfering at all.

Half a month later, Hongli told Lang Ye that the incident in the Old Summer Palace was a rebellion against the White Lotus Sect, and that he had sent troops to suppress it.Looking at Hongli's explanation to her, if it wasn't for Lang Yan who led the matter, she would almost believe it.

In the same year, Fu Jia who was beside the Empress Dowager suddenly got malaria and moved out of the Compassion Palace to recuperate.She is the empress dowager's confidant, and she has been with her for many years. Once she fell ill, the empress dowager even sent an imperial doctor to take care of her. She could return to the palace after recovering from the illness, but she never thought that this disease would kill her.

The Queen Mother was depressed for a while, and when she appeared in front of people again, she was obviously even more displeased with Lang Hua.First, she proposed to the emperor to promote Qing Ying, who already had a son, as a noble concubine, and suggested that Hongli should balance the harem so that Langya's family should not be the dominant one.

The power of the palace is not in the hands of the queen mother but in the hands of Hongli's beloved Qing Ying, and Hongli naturally will not object.Although she kept saying that Lang Yi's cooking in the harem was never wrong, that she was virtuous and virtuous, she still gave Qingying the right to be assistant manager.

At this time, Lang Ye realized that Hongli might also have doubts about her.After all, the evidence at the beginning was forged, and what Fu Jia experienced after leaving the palace, or what she said, Lang Ye had no way of knowing.But the virtuous and docile image she has created over the years has deeply ingrained in Hongli. Maybe he doesn't fully believe it, so he is testing.

To test whether Lang Ye is a power-hungry person.

Thinking of this, Lang Ye agreed without hesitation to Hongli's request for her to decentralize power.And often called Qingying over to discuss matters.Lang Ye had to step back, making the harem look as peaceful and stable as usual.

The power of the palace was divided, and Yu Langya was at a disadvantage.In the past, when she gained power, Qingying was favored, but now the queen mother pushes Qingying out to fight for power, Lang Ye took advantage of the opportunity to send Zhu Ming to the front of the stage.The literary inquisition in the Qianlong Dynasty had always been a case of injustice. In order to prevent her name from being used as a hindrance by those who wanted to, Lang Ye asked her to restore her original name.But Zhu Ming was sold as a slave since he was a child, and he only remembered that his surname was Chen, but he couldn't remember his first name, so he still asked Lang Ye to give her a name.

Lang Ye pushed her out to fight for favor, and naturally hoped that she would remain in favor forever.So she changed her name to Changying.It also means summer.

Chen Changying had been trained by Lang Ye in the palace for nearly six years, and knew all kinds of preferences and attitudes of Hongli almost like the back of his hand. In addition, he was young, beautiful, delicate and lively, so he was promoted to Feng Changzai by leapfrogging the first servant, and promoted to The nobleman was given the title of 'Ming', and the limelight overwhelmed Shuguiren recommended by the Empress Dowager.Almost equally with Qingying.

Not long after, Hai Guiren, who had a good relationship with Concubine Xian, also gradually appeared in front of everyone.The harem was so peaceful on the surface that it began to turbulent.

Although Chen Changying is favored, she has the same birth control medicine as Shu Guiren.Because of this birth control drug, Lang Ye knew that Hongli was always on guard against her.

Therefore, in order to prevent Concubine Xian's side from overpowering her again, Lang Ye counterattacked and gave Hai Guiren on her side a contraceptive medicine with the same effect.

Lang Ye snorted coldly in her heart, since the emperor wants to balance, then it should be fair, no one will be born.

Lang Ye's move made the other concubines cheaper.In the past few years when the three nobles were infertile, the harem had five more children one after another.

The pure concubine gave birth to the eighth elder brother Yong Rong, the concubine of Jin, and later gave birth to the fourth princess Jing Fu.

The concubine Jia gave birth to the ninth elder brother Yongxuan, the tenth elder brother Yongxuan, and the concubine of Jin.

The most surprising thing is that Concubine Hui Gao Xiyue is also pregnant.She had already stopped thinking about it, although Bai Zang said that her body was fine these years, but she was in her thirties after all, and in this age, she was no longer young.Especially after the elder brother Yonghuang gave her the marriage, she had already started preparing to become a grandmother, but she didn't expect to find out that she was pregnant at this time.

After the news of Gao Xiyue's pregnancy came out, many people in the harem were surprised, even Hongli never expected it.And he also began to take good care of Gao Xiyue, as if he had found true love.

Lang Ye began to be more vigilant.When Gao Xiyue's son Eleven was named Yong Cong by Hongli, Lang Ye hated Hongli's thoughts to the extreme.Hongli's move is clearly setting up an enemy for Yonglian again, and also alienating himself and Gao Xiyue.

Gao Xiyue was always naive, but this time she was clever once, and she showed her loyalty like Lang Ye just after confinement.Lang Ye has seen how Gao Xiyue raised her elder brother these years. The eldest elder brother who was originally thoughtful was raised by her for a few years, so she wholeheartedly imitated Prince Yu.Lang Ye is still at ease with Gao Xiyue.

But the Gao family who has the prince and Hongli who is on guard against the prince can't make people feel at ease.

Yes, in the tenth year of Qianlong's reign, Yong Lian, who was fifteen years old, was clearly established as the crown prince.People are so contradictory, they only want to establish a son-in-law, and it is him who has favored Yonglian for more than ten years.But when Yong Lian really became the prince, he was also the one who suppressed the defense.

The concubine selected by Hongli for Yonglian was the eldest daughter of Niu Gulu Naqin.

At that time, Neqin had just replaced Ertai, who had died of illness, and became the chief minister of military aircraft, which can be described as an extremely human minister.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor's gift of marriage was not only to honor the queen mother's relatives, but also to show respect to the queen mother.It is also a favor for the prince, paving the way for him in the future, and winning over courtiers for him.A good son and a good father.

But Lang Ye knew that he had already started planning to suppress the Empress Dowager's power in the court.What he is doing now is nothing but flattery.And Lang Ye also remembered that the Neqin in history did not end well.

On the point of eradicating the Empress Dowager's influence in the court, Lang Ye and Hongli stood on the united front, so she did not think about changing Neqin's fate, but now when Neqin and Yonglian's future are tied together.Lang Ye began to hesitate, so on the one hand, she was going to try to win over Naqin, if he was willing to abandon the Queen Mother and stand by her side, then naturally everyone would be happy.On the other hand, Lang Ye asked Fu Heng to get in touch with other members of the Niu Colu clan.

After all, the Niu Gulu family is one of the eight major surnames. Even if Hongli wants to suppress one of them, he cannot offend the Niu Gulu family.The eight major families are connected with each other, and it's not just talk.For the stability of the country, if one is suppressed, the other must be lifted.And Lang Ye chose Neqin's younger brother, Ali Gun, who was also the grandson of Ye Bilong.This man is quite talented, and he served as the governor of many provinces in the first two years.In the records of later generations, he was also a famous official of the Qianlong Dynasty.

Lang Ye didn't want to hurt an innocent girl, so she could only make preparations and consolidate the foundation for Yong Lian.

Although the crown princess of Yonglian has been fixed, the date of the wedding is three years later. During this period, some palace people will go to the crown princess's house to teach the rules.Lang Ye experienced this kind of thing once, but the time was far from that long.On the surface, it is said that the best auspicious day is to be selected according to the birthdays of both parties, but everyone knows the reality.

When Lang Ye and Yong Lian mentioned this matter, they sneered: "Your Huang Ama can't see anything like the holy grandfather in other places, but you have learned this very well."

Lang Ye's words made Yong Lian's face pale, but he also knew that what his mother said was right.His current situation is very similar to that of Prince Xianli.The legitimate son is not the eldest son, but he was guarded by the emperor's father when he was established as the prince.Back then, the prince's marriage was delayed again and again by the grandfather, and the wedding was not completed until he was 21 years old.

But luckier than Prince Xianli, his mother-in-law is still alive and will plan for him.His eldest brother and straight king are also different.

After Yong Lian's marriage was settled, Lang Ye began to plan for Jing Se's affairs.Ever since Jingse was born, Lang Ye began to worry about this day. In history, Princess Hejing was intimate with Mongolia, although later generations recorded that Princess Hejing was loved all her life.But how could a few short sentences in the history book reassure her.

What's more, this world is too different from history.Just like her relationship with Hongli.

So when Lang Ye searched all over the descendants of the ministers in the court and found that there was no suitable candidate, Lang Ye asked his uncle to suggest to Hongli to appoint a few princes from various Mongolian ministries to the palace to raise them.Naturally, this also includes the historical Hejing Princess Forehead Sebuten Baljur.Although the excuse at the time was to contain the Mongolian ministries, these years have been quite effective.

The sons of various ministries studied and practiced martial arts with the princes in the palace, and became closer to the Qing Dynasty.Among them, Horqin's Sebuten Balezhuer stayed in the palace for the longest time and was also the most loved by Qianlong.

Because Lang Ye had already prepared for it, Yong Lian had been very friendly with him since he was a child.Wait until Horqin comes to ask for marriage.Jingse and Sebuten Baljuer are also childhood sweethearts, and they are familiar with each other.

Jingse's marriage was in Langya's plan, but Hongli and the Queen Mother didn't know about it.So when Horqin came to ask for the princess.In fact, Heng Ti, the Queen Mother's youngest daughter, is also a candidate.But the Queen Mother already had a daughter married far away, so naturally she was reluctant to marry her younger daughter again.So at this moment, she was confronting Lang Ye tit for tat.Lang Ye also tried her best to show a gesture of reluctance.

When the previous dynasty disagreed with Heng Ti's marriage because the queen mother already had a daughter.It was only then that Lang Ye asked Jing Se to express to her Huang Ama that she was willing to dedicate herself to relieve Huang Ama's worries and the stability of the Qing Dynasty in an attitude of "sacrificing her life for righteousness".In this way, the emperor naturally felt sorry for Jingse, and Lang Ye took this opportunity to propose that the emperor build a princess mansion in the capital for Jingse.And promised to let them often return to the capital to live after marriage.

The emperor was moved by his daughter's filial piety and understanding, and he was very guilty of this daughter who took the initiative to share his worries, so he naturally agreed.

Not long after Jing Se's beautiful marriage, Jin Xi also married Qingying's nephew, Na Suken.

In Changchun Palace, Bai Zang took Chen Changying's pulse, and Lang Ye sat on the other side and waited.After a while, Bai Zang nodded to Lang Ye, Lang Ye showed a smile, and Chen Changying also showed excitement, holding her belly with both hands.

Lang Ye said to her: "Now you are just pregnant, you still have to be careful in everything, and report it after the fetus is firmly seated."

Chen Changying nodded again and again, the two talked for a while, and Lang Ye asked her to go back to recuperate first.After Chen Changying left, Lang Ye said to Bai Zang, "Now that Changying is pregnant, we can't entrust this matter to her. Just follow the original arrangement and hand over the medicine to that person."

Bai Zang should be.Lang Ye asked again, "Have Concubine Shu stopped taking the medicine for some time?"

Bai Zang said: "My maidservant asked us about our successor in Chuxiu Palace that Concubine Shu has stopped taking that 'fertility medicine' intermittently since years ago, and basically stopped drinking it this month."

Lang Ye nodded, and said to Bai Zang: "Concubine Shu, hey, it depends on her fate. You go, give the medicine to that person, start today, be careful, I'd rather be slow than safe."

Baizang went back to his room, took the medicine, and went out.

That medicine is a medicine that makes people feel ashamed and infertile.It was developed by Baizang after Lang Ye knew that Hongli had given Shu Pin and Chen Changying the medicine.Because it is colorless and odorless, it is difficult to detect afterwards, so it was not successfully studied until recently.

Since he didn't want a child, then no one else would want it at all. There is no way to drug a woman directly to drug himself once and for all.Anyway, there are enough children in the palace now, and there are successors in the Qing Dynasty. It is better for the emperor to be pure-hearted and diligent in governing and loving the people.

What's more, although Jingse's marriage is in her calculations, everyone can see that even if she disagrees, Hongli will not force the Queen Mother to marry a daughter for the sake of the reputation of filial piety, and the one who will be sacrificed in the end will be Jing Se.

Originally, it was planned to be handed over to Chen Changying. After all, Hongli had to stay with her eight or nine days a month for the past two years.Ever since she knew that the birth control medicine given to her by the emperor was problematic, she held a grudge against him so much that she didn't want to sleep with him for a while.

In the end, it was Lang Ye who asked Bai Zang to help her recuperate her body and give her hope, so she was willing to continue to make false claims with the emperor.

Originally, she was a very suitable candidate. She was loyal to Langya and held grudges against the emperor, so she had another chance to strike.But now she is pregnant.Lang Ye was not sure if she would soften her heart for the sake of the child.

Simply put, the chess pieces that Lang Ye had laid out in the palace in the early years had been mixed into the imperial tea dining room in the past two years.Now is the time to use it.

As for Baizang's medicine, the effect of the medicine is gradual. Even if Hongli was aware of it at the beginning, he would only think that he was getting old and unable to do what he wanted.As long as you don't get caught in the process.

When he really started not to lift, he was exhausted.

Two months later, Chen Changying's fetal phase was stable, so Lang Ye invited Qi Ru to feel her pulse for him.After confirming the good news, Lang Ye asked the maid beside Chen Changying to accompany Qi Ru to announce the good news to Hongli.The person who reported the news came back and said that the emperor was very surprised when he heard the news, and said it was impossible.

On Chen Changying's side, Lang Ye had already made a statement with her, so that when she was asked again, she revealed that she was disappointed in the matter of seeking a child, so she often missed the news of taking the birth control pill.

No matter how surprised Hongli was, the concubine was still rewarded for her pregnancy, and Chen Changying was promoted to concubine because of her pregnancy.

Because of Concubine Ming's accidental pregnancy, when Concubine Shu was found to be pregnant half a month later after not only vomiting, Hongli accepted the matter calmly and made her a concubine.
