There was a ripple in her heart. Xiao Jingyan was attracted by her beauty and elegance, and summoned her to sleep with him that night. Yun Qinghuan's favor attracted the jealousy of many concubines, especially Concubine Li. Concubine Li was born in a family of military generals. She was arrogant and domineering. Relying on her family power and years of favor, she ran rampant in the harem. How could she tolerate a new concubine taking away the emperor's favor? A conspiracy against Yun Qinghuan began. Not long after the undercurrent surged, rumors spread in the palace that Yun Qinghuan had an affair with an official from the previous dynasty. The rumors intensified, and some people even said that they saw her having a secret meeting with foreign officials in the imperial garden. After hearing this, Xiao Jingyan was furious and confined Yun Qinghuan to Changchun Palace, not allowing anyone to visit. Yun Qinghuan was overwhelmed by the sudden change. She knew that someone had deliberately framed her, but she could not defend herself. During the dark days of house arrest, she cried every day, and only Shen Shuyi secretly sent her food and comfort. "Sister Qinghuan, don't be discouraged. There must be something fishy about this. Sister will definitely find out the news for you and find out the culprit behind it." Shen Shuyi's words gave Yun Qinghuan a glimmer of hope. It turned out that Shen Shuyi learned through her connections that the rumor was spread by the maids around Concubine Li, and someone saw Concubine Li and the eunuch chief steward in charge of the imperial kitchen. Just when Yun Qinghuan was desperate, a turning point appeared. One day, a fire broke out in the imperial kitchen, and the fire was fierce and spread quickly. Xiao Jingyan went to the scene to direct the firefighting. In the chaos, someone found that Concubine Li and the eunuch chief steward looked panicked, as if there was something hidden. After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that Concubine Li bribed the eunuchs in the imperial kitchen to frame Yun Qinghuan and deliberately set the fire in an attempt to create chaos and cover up the fact that she had spread rumors. After the truth came out, Xiao Jingyan was furious and demoted Concubine Li to a noble lady, confining her to Yikun Palace and never stepping out of the palace. Yun Qinghuan was able to clear her name and not only restored her position, but was also promoted to a noble lady and moved to Jingren Palace. Yun Qinghuan, who regained her freedom and favor, became more mature and stable. She knew that in this harem where people were eaten without spitting bones, only by strengthening herself could she gain a foothold. She began to deliberately make friends with the families of ministers in the court, and through them she learned about the situation of the previous dynasty, and gradually learned to deal with the concubines. At the same time, Shen Shuyi was also appreciated by Xiao Jingyan for helping Yun Qinghuan find out the truth, and was promoted to Defei. The two supported each other in the harem and became each other's support. However, the struggle in the harem never stopped, and new enemies quietly appeared. Concubine Xian, born in a famous family, was gentle and virtuous. On the surface, she was not competitive, but in fact she was very scheming. Seeing Yun Qinghuan and Defei becoming more and more favored, she was jealous and decided to suppress them. She used her power to manage the etiquette of the harem to deliberately arrange an accident at a palace banquet hosted by Yun Qinghuan. On the day of the palace banquet, there was singing and dancing, and everyone was toasting. Suddenly, a dancer slipped and fell while dancing, and the wine glass in her hand happened to splash Yun Qinghuan, and her expensive clothes were immediately soaked with wine. Seeing this, Xianfei pretended to care, but in fact she implied that Yun Qinghuan behaved inappropriately and couldn't even host a small palace banquet. Yun Qinghuan was not in a hurry, and smiled and said: "Sister Xianfei is right, I am indeed inexperienced. However, this dancer has always been skilled in dancing, but she suddenly slipped today, and I think it's a bit strange. It's better to let the Ye Ting Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly to prevent similar things from happening again and ruining the interest of the emperor and all the sisters." Xiao Jingyan thought that what Yun Qinghuan said made sense, so he ordered a thorough investigation. After some investigation, it was discovered that it was Concubine Xian who bribed the dancer and deliberately created this accident in order to humiliate Yun Qinghuan. Xiao Jingyan was extremely disappointed with Concubine Xian's actions, so he took back her power to manage the etiquette of the harem and punished her to copy the "Female Commandments" a hundred times. As Yun Qinghuan's position in the harem became more and more stable, her family became more and more powerful in the court. This aroused the Queen's vigilance. The Queen was born in the royal family and was the mother of the country. On the surface, she was kind to Yun Qinghuan, but in fact, she had long regarded her as a thorn in her side. The Queen secretly united the forces in the court that opposed the Yun family, and whispered in Xiao Jingyan's ears that the Yun family was too powerful and might have a rebellious heart. Xiao Jingyan was suspicious, and after hearing so much, he gradually became suspicious. Yun Qinghuan keenly noticed the changes in the emperor. She knew that if she did not take measures, not only would she fall out of favor, but her family would also fall into an irretrievable situation. She began to show weakness in front of Xiao Jingyan, showing that she was only willing to serve the emperor and had no interest in the power of the family. At the same time, she asked her father to resign from some important positions to show his loyalty. However, the queen did not intend to let her go. One day, the queen suddenly summoned Yun Qinghuan to Kunning Palace, saying that she wanted to discuss harem matters with her. As soon as Yun Qinghuan stepped into Kunning Palace, she was forcibly searched by the nanny beside the queen, and a jade pendant with dragon patterns was found on her. In ancient times, dragon patterns were used exclusively by the royal family. Wearing a jade pendant with dragon patterns privately was a crime of treason. Yun Qinghuan was speechless and was detained by the queen on the spot, waiting for Xiao Jingyan's decision. She knew in her heart that this was another trap set by the queen. At this critical moment, Concubine De stepped forward. She joined forces with the ministers in the court who supported the Yun family to plead for Yun Qinghuan in front of Xiao Jingyan, and pointed out that there were many doubts about the jade pendant. Xiao Jingyan still had feelings for Yun Qinghuan. After listening to everyone's analysis, he decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. After some twists and turns, it was finally found out that the jade pendant was secretly placed on Yun Qinghuan by the queen, with the purpose of putting her to death. Xiao Jingyan was furious, abolished the queen's position, and sent her to the cold palace. After this battle, Yun Qinghuan's status in the harem was unmatched. Xiao Jingyan loved her more and more. Soon after, he canonized her as the imperial concubine, acting as the queen and commanding the six palaces. Yun Qinghuan knew that the struggle in the harem would never end. Although she stood at the pinnacle of power, the responsibility on her shoulders was heavier. She began to rectify the harem, abolish some unreasonable rules, treat servants well, and advocate frugality. Under her governance, the harem gradually became harmonious. However, the situation in the previous dynasty became more and more turbulent. The war on the northern border was tense, and Xiao Jingyan was worried all day long. Yun Qinghuan saw it all and felt pain in her heart. Relying on her relationship with the families of ministers in the court, she secretly gave Xiao Jingyan advice and provided some useful information. At the same time, she encouraged her family to provide financial support to the front line and do their part for the country. Xiao Jingyan was very moved by what Yun Qinghuan did and relied on her even more. After the war subsided, Xiao Jingyan rejected all objections and canonized Yun Qinghuan as queen. On the day of the canonization ceremony, the Forbidden City was decorated with lights and colors. Yun Qinghuan wore a gorgeous phoenix robe and a phoenix crown on her head. Under the worship of everyone, she ascended the throne of queen and became the mother of the country. However, Yun Qinghuan, who ascended the throne of queen, did not forget her original intention. She still maintained her kindness and intelligence.
