That night, Dongdi went to Yiyuan.

The Eastern Emperor, dressed in a black brocade robe, has an upright posture and a stern temperament.

He came out of the imperial study and set foot on the road to Yiyuan with light steps, his heart full of anticipation and excitement.

Along the way, his thoughts were wandering, the scene of his encounter with Qi Siyi kept appearing in his mind, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

Finally, Dongdi arrived at the door of Yiyuan. He took a deep breath, gently pushed the door open and walked in.

The flickering candlelight in the garden illuminates the surrounding scenery, dotted with flowers, plants and trees, creating a beautiful scene.

Dongdi strolled along the path, feeling the cool breeze brushing against his cheeks, and felt particularly relaxed.

After a while, he came to an exquisite courtyard. Looking up, he saw flickering candles in the room and a beautiful figure through the window.

Emperor Dong smiled slightly, dismissed the palace servants, quickened his pace to the door, and gently pushed it open.

Hearing the noise, a soft voice came from inside the door: "Who?"

The Emperor of the East replied softly, "I am here."

He stepped in and a figure ran towards him happily.

Then, a beautiful and gentle face appeared in front of him. It was his Concubine Yi.

A hint of surprise flashed in Qi Siyi's eyes, and then she smiled and pulled Dongdi inside.

Dongdi walked into the room and felt a warm breath blowing towards him.

The room was decorated warmly and elegantly, and the table was filled with exquisite snacks and tea.

The two people's eyes met, and there was an extremely ambiguous feeling for a moment.

Emperor Dong coughed lightly and broke the silence: "Yier, are you used to entering the palace?"

Qi Siyi nodded slightly, a blush appeared on her face, and she said softly: "I didn't expect to see Your Majesty so soon."

Dongdi looked at her deeply, then turned around and blew out the candle.

In the darkness, the two sat opposite each other in silence.

Qi Siyi felt a little nervous, not knowing what would happen next.

She looked at Dongdi secretly and found that his figure looked particularly mysterious and majestic in the darkness.

Suddenly, Dongdi broke the silence:

"Qi Siyi, I know why you came here. But I also have my own thoughts and considerations."

Qi Siyi's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, please listen to me..."

However, before she could finish her words, Emperor Dong interrupted her:

"No need to say more, I have already made the decision. You just need to follow my arrangements."

After saying that, Dongdi stood up, walked to the bed and lay down.

Qi Siyi sighed helplessly and could only walk over silently and lie down next to Dongdi.

The candle in Concubine Qi's bedroom remained lit all night.

"Your Highness, your body may be suffering from some illness after all this ordeal," the nanny said with concern.

"What can I do? If the master wants me to be sick, I will be sick. If the master wants me to die, how can I live like this?"

Concubine Qi spoke word by word.

The head of the Qi family successfully replaced the old and ugly Concubine Qi with the young and beautiful Qi Siyi, and at the same time transferred Concubine Qi's favor to the newcomer.

"I hope she can repay the kindness." Concubine Qi said helplessly.

The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Yiyuan Garden in Changqiu Palace.

The new favorite in the harem, Concubine Yi, was dressing in front of the mirror when her maid Ping'er ran in happily.

"My lord, I just went to the imperial kitchen, and everyone I met along the way complimented you."

"What compliment do you give me?"

"They say you are as beautiful as a fairy, and that you will always be favored by the emperor. I hear people praising you everywhere."

Qi Siyi couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

The nanny hesitated for a moment and reminded, "My young lady has just entered the palace, so it's better to keep a low profile."

Qi Siyi snorted lightly and disagreed.

After breakfast, Qi Siyi was sitting in the house drinking tea leisurely when suddenly there was a noise outside.

It turned out that many concubines came to visit specially.

They brought all kinds of precious gifts and wonderful blessings, filling the entire Yiyuan with a joyful and warm atmosphere.

Everyone raved about her, praising her beauty, intelligence, and kindness.

Some concubines said that her smile was as warm as the spring sunshine, some praised her temperament as elegant as orchid, and others said that her wisdom was admirable.

These words of praise made Qi Siyi feel extremely happy and satisfied.

Qi Siyi smiled and talked to every concubine who came to visit her, showing her gentle and generous side.

This harmonious atmosphere made Qi Siyi feel the warmth and beauty of palace life.

She felt like she had become a highly respected and beloved figure at court, and she had no idea that so many people would want to associate with her.

Qi Siyi was busy the whole morning. First, she gave gifts to the concubines, and then she rewarded the servants. Huge amounts of money were spent like water.

"My lady, aren't you spending money too quickly?" Ping'er said worriedly as she watched the silver in her hand dwindle away.

"Why are you panicking? I have plenty of money. These are just a drop in the bucket."

Qi Siyi said nonchalantly, as if the money was nothing to her.

"But..." Ping'er wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Siyi.

"If you have no money, tell the master of the family, and he will send someone to deliver the silver to the palace. The master of the family is relying on me now, and he will definitely not let me suffer any grievances." Qi Siyi said confidently.

After saying that, she started to get busy again, continuing to spend money like water and enjoying this luxurious life.

For several days in a row, Emperor Dong stayed in Yiyuan and seemed reluctant to leave.

Concubine Yi's reputation became more and more famous in the palace, and even spread outside the palace.

In the past few days, the number of court officials visiting Prime Minister Qi's residence has suddenly increased, and the endless stream of carriages in front of the door almost blocked the entire street.

The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, Prince's Mansion, Chaoyang Garden.

Qin Rubing sat comfortably in front of the fireplace, holding a cup of steaming tea in her hand. She gently blew away the foam on the surface and then took small sips.

Her face was filled with satisfaction and joy, as if this small gesture had made her feel endless warmth.

Opposite her, Zhu Shijie was enthusiastically telling the story of the emperor's new favorite.

His voice was full of excitement and curiosity, as if he wanted to describe every detail.

"Princess, you don't know?

Qi Siyi and Qi Siyue have been fighting each other since they were young, and the conflict between them has always existed.

Whether at home or in the palace, they always competed secretly and refused to give in to each other.

Now the situation has changed dramatically. The second young lady has become the eldest young lady's mistress!

Hahahaha…this is really unexpected!"

Zhu Shijie couldn't help laughing out loud, and his laughter echoed in the air.

Qin Rubing frowned slightly, gently put down the teacup, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Is Qi Siyi really as innocent as she appears to be? Or is all this just a deliberate disguise?

After all, she came from the Qi family, a family full of intrigue and calculation.

The head of the Qi family was almost desperate and resorted to this vicious plan, even letting Concubine Qi take medicine and pretend to be sick in exchange for the opportunity for Qi Siyi to enter the palace.

This method is so extreme that people can't help but wonder what the Qi family's plan is.

More importantly, the medicine was so powerful that it almost took Concubine Qi's life.

If it weren't for her good luck, she would have died long ago.

The Qi family invested so much money, they can't just end up with a useless straw, right?

They must have some intentions and have high hopes for Qi Siyi.

The sixteen-year-old Qi Siyi is definitely not as simple as she seems. Perhaps she has some special talents or purposes hidden?

Zhu Shijie continued to talk nonsense, "The Emperor of the East has been obsessed with Qi Siyi recently. I heard that she has been partying every night and living a life of drunkenness and debauchery."

When Chu Tiancheng walked in, he saw Qin Rubing lost in thought, quiet and beautiful like a painting.

Chu Tiancheng glanced at Zhu Shijie, “Are you very free?”

Zhu Shijie hurriedly stood up and went over to pour Chu Tiancheng a cup of tea.

Then, he approached Chu Tiancheng with a mysterious look on his face and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, this prince reminds you to be careful. This Qi Siyi is not simple."

"Oh?" Qin Rubing's face showed a hint of doubt when she heard this, and her eyes became sharp. "Why do you say that?"

She demanded, her tone full of curiosity and caution.
