Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

When Yixiu heard the person sent by Yinreng wanting to take the Citibank banknotes over, she did not forget to pull them away.

"I heard that Huaqi is a person that our troupe has carefully trained. If the prince likes him, why don't I select a few better ones from other places and send them to your house? If Huaqi leaves, won't my opera troupe be unable to run?"

The man advised Yi Xiu, "Fujin, you are joking. Our family is very powerful. We have cultivated such a person as the Crown Prince Qingyan. How can those boys outside compare to him?"

"The Crown Prince also thought that Fu Jin might be reluctant to let go, so he specifically told me that if Fu Jin was worried that there would be no one to perform, the Crown Prince would like to order people to buy some new performers from Jiangnan. What do you think, Fu Jin?"

Yixiu was satisfied: "Then I dare not let the prince spend money, otherwise, if the prince knows, he will definitely blame me for being ignorant. Since the prince is sincere, please pass on the message to the prince to treat Huaqi well and not let him suffer any grievances. That is also the dignity of our Prince Mansion, isn't it?"

Two days later, Yinreng sent someone again, promising to honor Huaqi as a gentleman in the Prince's Mansion. Not only could he enter and leave Yinreng's study freely, but he also did not have to kneel and kowtow to anyone else in the mansion except Yinreng.

On that day, Huaqi was carried into the prince's palace in a sedan chair parked at the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

Along the way, Citi's mind was filled with the words that Yixiu had sent Jianqiu to instruct him.

"Since you are ambitious, Mrs. Fu is willing to help you. In order to get you a good price, Mrs. Fu has done her best to plan. When Mr. Hua has established a firm foothold in the Prince's Mansion, don't forget our Fourth Prince's Mansion."

"Of course." Huaqi bowed with a smile: "Miss, you are flattering me. What's the point of being high-ranking? My brother and mother are still in our house. Please tell Madam that Huaqi will certainly obey you. Please take good care of them."

The fists on his knees gradually clenched. Since he had chosen this path, he would not regret it and would keep going.

"Madam, the invitation to Miss Maltai is ready. Would you like to see it?"

After seeing off Huaqi, Jianqiu went back to the room and started writing visiting cards.

"Okay." Yixiu took the invitation and looked at it carefully before handing it back to Jianqiu, saying, "Send it on. Also, tell the Fourth Master that you can invite the Eighth Prince to visit your residence when you have time."

Jianqiu was puzzled: "Eighth Prince has a good relationship with our Prince, but at the banquet that day, he didn't seem to show any interest in Miss Maertai. How could Fu Jin observe that?"

Yixiu: I couldn't observe it, but I heard it. When Yinzhen and Yinsi were talking, they didn't know how to avoid people.

But if such words were really said, I'm afraid not only would no one believe it, but it would scare others instead.

"Let's go and give it a try. My feeling may not be accurate." Yixiu sent the curious baby Jianqiu to do something first, and then began to recall the young lady from the Maltai family.

Her name is Maertai Ruozhu. She is about sixteen or seventeen years old now and has not yet been betrothed. She is good at riding and archery. She has been brought up like a boy by the Maertai family since she was a child. It seems that her father and mother also want to marry her to a boy with potential.

As for the Eighth Prince, well... he does have great potential, one could say too much potential.

Yixiu remembered that in the previous life, after Emperor Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the first time, the Eighth Prince had the highest support in the court.

Unfortunately, no one could guess the emperor's mind. Kangxi was furious. After reprimanding the eighth prince, he reinstated the crown prince...

Yixiu felt a headache when she thought about what happened next. The blood was likely to dye the steps in front of the Forbidden City red.

Forget it, let's just try it out on the chessboard first. She doesn't want to be a good person who saves the world.

-------

Yi Zheng was curled up in the corner thinking when the door creaked open.

She immediately straightened up, and then heard two footsteps, one after the other.

Yixiu relaxed again.

Jianqiu went out to do business, and no one in the yard could stop these two people.

"What is Fu Jin doing?" The first person to appear in front of him was Nian Shilan, followed by Honghui, who was responsible for carrying the two people's things.

After bending her knees to pay her respects, Nian Shilan then climbed onto the couch where Yixiu sat and said, "Fujin, Fujin, do you know what day it is today?"

"What day is it?" Yixiu thought in her heart. Today is neither Nian Shilan's birthday, nor Honghui's, nor hers and Yinzhen's. What other day could it be?

"Today marks the first anniversary of my residence in your mansion!" Nian Shilan answered loudly.

"Oh, so that's how it is." She looked at Nian Shilan and said, "Then may I ask Miss Nian, is there anything particular to be observed on such an important day?"

"Yes!" Nian Shilan stretched out her hand, revealing the three taels of silver in her palm, and said, "On such a good day, in order to let Honghui celebrate with me, I asked him to give me all his monthly allowance!"

Yixiu: ???

"Did he tell you that he makes three taels of silver every month?" Yi Xiu glanced at his son and asked Nian Shilan.

"Yes, yes, he gave it all to me. Am I awesome?" Nian Shilan showed off the silver in his hand.

"But he gets five taels of silver every month!" Yixiu looked at Honghui and said loudly to Nian Shilan.

Before he could finish his words, Yinzhen ran to the courtyard: "Mother, you are too rude. Who is your biological son?!"

“Ahhh…gently, be gentler.”

At this age, girls grow faster than boys.

Soon, Yixiu heard Honghui's wailing coming from the yard.

Outside the yard, Xiuxia was working with the maids.

Seeing this scene, he went into the room and looked at Yixiu, who was covering her mouth with her hands and laughing in gloating. He couldn't help but say, "My dear wife, please calm down a little. You think our young lady is not chaotic enough this year!"

Yi Xiu said: "Well, let her snatch it. Taking the silver from a man is our women's skill. I am so happy!"

Joking is just joking.

On the next day, Miss Ruozhu from the Maertai family came to visit.

"Ruozhu greets Madam Fu-jin. Madam Fu-jin treated me well a few days ago. I came here today to express my gratitude."

Ruozhu was wearing a lake blue cheongsam today, which made her look exceptionally calm. Although she said thank you, it was obvious that she had not really taken the trouble to dress up to meet Yixiu.

Did I take a wrong step?

Ruozhu has no interest in socializing with others, or has she already guessed what she means?
