Chapter 416 Gathering People’s Hearts
Ren Yuhuan smiled. She had guessed long ago that Shen Yanzhi would not touch Concubine Qi.

"Your Majesty, can you comfort Lady Xiao? As long as Lady Xiao resolves the grievances in her heart, that will be all right."

On the second day, Shen Yanzhi issued an imperial decree to promote Concubine Xiao to Concubine Xiao, and she moved into Chenghuan Palace.

Xiao Cairen was naturally happy, and after listening to Ren Yuhuan's advice, he recovered from his injuries and moved from Chuxiu Palace to Chenghuan Palace.

Shen Yanzhi even took a day off to visit Concubine Xiao in Chenghuan Palace.

This incident clearly told the other concubines in the harem the consequences of offending Concubine Qi and the consequences of following Ren Yuhuan.

In this way, Ren Yuhuan also gained a great influence, and those concubines who had previously followed Concubine Qi would begin to weigh their concerns.

After they moved out, there were many talented people surrounding the empty house.

These beautiful ladies who entered the palace have never been favored by His Majesty. Looking at Concubine Xiao's room, they feel both envious and lonely.

"Tell me, do you still remember what we said at the beginning, that we would share honor and disgrace?"

One said expectantly.

Another one sneered, "You still expect Xiaopin to remember these words, aren't you too naive?"

Another one with a calmer look said, "Not necessarily. Let's go to Cheng Huan Palace now and see her reaction."

So everyone agreed to go to Chenghuan Palace to congratulate.

Concubine Xiao did not put on airs, but treated the sisters from Chuxiu Palace as cordially as the king.

"Sister, you are in luck now! You have made it! Oh, I don't know when we will have such good luck again."

Xiao Pin smiled. She had received instructions from Ren Yuhuan to win over these people.

So he immediately said, "If I was lucky, I wouldn't be beaten like that!"

"The imperial physician said that my eyes were almost ruined. I shed tears of blood for half a month in Yikun Palace. I was so desperate at the time. I still shudder when I think about it now."

"The Imperial Concubine is so kind. She has always been there for you."

Xiaopin nodded and sighed, "Do you think that if the roles were reversed and I followed Concubine Qi, would Concubine Qi do these things for me?"

All the talented people present were silent. They were weighing the consequences in their hearts today.

After hearing what Concubine Xiao said today, everyone nodded and thought it made sense.

"Now Concubine Qi and Concubine Gui are competing against each other. If we don't choose the right team, I will be a lesson for you. Sisters, you must be careful!"

Immediately, a talented person smiled and said, "But even if we want to get close to the Imperial Concubine, there is nothing we can do, right?"

Xiaopin smiled and said, "In fact, you have also met the Imperial Concubine. She is very approachable. Let's go over now. The Imperial Concubine will definitely welcome us!"

Among them, there were some talented women who were determined to choose Concubine Qi, so they found excuses not to go and rushed to Chanyue Palace to report the news.

The Yiku Palace was crowded with beauties of all kinds, and everyone was having a great time and there was no class distinction when gossiping.

Everyone who came here was impressed by Ren Yuhuan's kindness and expressed their willingness to come to Yikun Palace more often.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Qi, who got the news, rushed over immediately.

When the sedan chair was getting off the door, a palace maid came in to report.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness has gotten off the sedan at the palace gate!"

Hearing this, the talented people present became flustered again.

Concubine Qi must have heard the news and came to identify the person. Everyone present would be treated as an enemy by Concubine Qi. They were terrified.

Ren Yuhuan said calmly to the palace maid: "Go out and tell Concubine Qi that I am not feeling well now and cannot receive you. Ask her to go back."

The palace maid was ordered to leave, and Zanhua stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Concubine Qi will not listen to him, and I have to go with her."

Ren Yuhuan nodded, turned around and looked at the other talents with a smile: "The autumn air has arrived in the garden, why don't you follow me and take a walk in the garden?"

After hearing this, everyone wanted to leave immediately. They stood up and followed Ren Yuhuan to the back hall.

Zanhua bowed and smiled respectfully, saying, "Please calm down, Concubine Qi. It's not that my queen doesn't want to receive you. It's just that she has been taking care of His Majesty these days and is not energetic enough. She is resting now."

At the door, Shen Yanzhi ordered the guards guarding the Yikun Palace to stand on both sides and follow Ren Yuhuan's instructions to stop Concubine Qi from entering.

Concubine Qi sneered and said, "You can't even go in and wait. Sister, you are so arrogant!"

Zanhua said respectfully and gently as always: "My queen has gotten up from her rest. His Majesty is about to come again. I really don't have time to receive Concubine Qi today. Why don't you come tomorrow?"

Concubine Qi looked at the guards on both sides and knew that she couldn't force her way in.

Besides, Ren Yuhuan was already a noble concubine now, so she couldn't force it anymore. She could only hold back her anger and said, "I'm afraid I won't come tomorrow. Please let me know when you have time!"

"Yes. Farewell, Madam Qi."

The hairpin sent Concubine Qi away with flowers and turned away with a sneer.

Now that Ren Yuhuan has been promoted to Imperial Concubine, the servants in Yikun Palace have straightened their backs. They had previously been suppressed by Concubine Qi's servants, but now they dare to openly resist.

So not only was Concubine Qi unhappy, the servants in her palace also kept saying bad things about her in front of her master, causing Concubine Qi to think that Ren Yuhuan had started to deal with her, and she was very resentful.

On this day, Concubine Qi's mother received the grace of His Majesty to enter the palace to see her daughter, and she prepared two carriages to enter the palace early in the morning.

When Concubine Qi saw her mother coming, she immediately threw herself into her mother's arms and cried bitterly.

"My dear daughter, what happened? Is someone bullying you?"

Concubine Qi sobbed and shook her head: "I just miss my mother so much!"

"Mother, you don't know that Ren Yuhuan's mother lives in Yikun Palace. She sees her mother every day, but I can only see my mother for a long time. I am not satisfied with this!"

When Concubine Qi's mother heard this, her eyes widened immediately. She helped Concubine Qi in, and the two of them sat on the couch together.

After all, Concubine Qi's mother was a lady from a duke's mansion. She received a gift the day before yesterday and also had an imperial decree.

Deep down, she didn't believe that a commoner-born girl like Ren Yuhuan could become a royal concubine.

And when he heard that Ren Yuhuan's mother had once been a refugee, he looked even more disgusted.

"Isn't it too unfair to be the concubine?"

"No, let your brother think of a solution for this matter and remind the emperor."

Concubine Qi heard this and sneered, "Mother, you don't know, this is still a secret!"

When he was talking about executing the entire Ren family, he also mentioned how His Majesty had replaced Ren's mother with someone else.

After hearing this, Concubine Qi's mother relaxed her brows and said with a slow smile, "If that's the case, my daughter, you don't have to worry. Ask your brother to go back and do it. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Concubine Qi was expecting this result, so she leaned on her mother's shoulder and said, "Mom, you are the best!"

"Mother, we must hurry up and take down Ren Yuhuan in one go. The position of Queen will be yours!"
