The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

During this month, Rouyin was woken up by the birds resting on the pomegranate tree in the yard as usual. She rubbed her hazy eyes and before she could fully wake up, Liu Qing came over in a panic with a "thump thump". "Fujin, the palace has issued an order that Concubine De wants you to come to the palace for a chat."

As Rouyin asked for the carriage and court robes to be prepared, she asked in confusion, "Madam, what do you think mother means?"

"Fujin, don't worry. No matter whether it's a blessing or a curse, we and the prince are one. After all, Concubine De is our prince's biological mother and she won't make things too difficult for you." Nanny Wang thought for a while and spoke slowly. Fujin just needed to do her duty.

After Rouyin finished cleaning up, she called Shi Liu and said, "Shi Liu, report the order of Concubine De to Lord Beile later. Remember not to be too flustered or rude."

"Yes, Madam." After hearing this, Shi Liu knew that the master she served had a plan in mind, so she quickly leaned forward and went out.

When we arrived at the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De was sitting at the top, wearing a green cheongsam with a crabapple pattern, embellished with green jade tassels of the same color. The hem of the cheongsam was also inlaid with a few light pink flowers, which was simple and elegant yet majestic.

A maidservant beside Concubine De brought tea. Rouyin held the teacup and half-knelt toward Concubine De, "Daughter-in-law, please have some tea, mother."

Empress Defei remained silent, still playing with the agate beads in her hand, only looking at Rouyin from time to time without saying anything. Looking at the more beautiful Ulanara, her eyes were a little dazed. Was the previous emperor's Dong E also so beautiful?

After waiting for nearly half an hour, if Rouyin hadn't had the fitness pill given by the system, she would definitely feel worse now. She pretended to be very tired and her legs were shaking slightly. Even the hand holding the teacup was shaking slightly. Then Empress Defei said calmly: "Get up, Fourth Lady, I was thinking about something just now and forgot about you. You really should have reminded me a few more times."

"It's been almost a month since you entered the palace!" Defei asked calmly.

Rouyin's heart sank and she finally understood what was going on.

"Yes, Mother."

"Since he has already entered the mansion for a month, why has the Fourth Prince been staying at your place all this time? As a concubine, can't you give him some more advice?!" Defei said sternly, and her armored hand lightly tapped the horizontal mat beside her. Only a slight movement made the room seem even quieter.

Rouyin's guess was confirmed. The Fourth Prince's exclusive favor during this period had already attracted the attention of Concubine De, and now was the time to give her a show of power and a warning.

In the study, Yinzhen was discussing the affairs of the previous dynasty with his confidant Zhang Tingyu, while Su Peisheng was guarding the door.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar maid rushing over. He remembered that this was someone close to the concubine. Shi Liu told Eunuch Su the news word for word. Su Peisheng was a little nervous because his master was discussing something with Lord Zhang. He had said before not to disturb them, and now he could not report it!

Hearing this, Shi Liu's originally calm state of mind became a little panicked, "What should I do?"

Su Peisheng thought about how much Prince Beile cared about his wife, gritted his teeth, and said, "You stay here first, I'll go and report."

Su Peisheng tentatively walked around the door for a few more times, and Yinzhen understood something and paused his discussion with Zhang Tingyu. Su Peisheng was a cunning guy, and he must have done this because he encountered something difficult to deal with.

While Zhang Tingyu reported his matter and took his leave, Yinzhen waved his hand to show his agreement.

Su Peisheng immediately told him to explain. Yinzhen frowned and roughly understood. "Su Peisheng, quickly prepare the horse and go to Yonghe Palace."

Just as Rouyin was about to respond, Yinzhen strode over and said, "Don't worry, mother. I just stayed with you for a few more days because you are a little younger. I don't have any other intentions."

Rouyin felt the heat brought by Yinzhen's breath, and felt a little touched in her heart, but there was no emotion in the end. As a prince, Yinzhen respected his three wives and four concubines. Although he spoke out to defend her at this time, Rouyin thought calmly.

Concubine De paused for a moment, and tightened her grip on the agate beads. "Fourth Lady, please go back first."

"Yes, daughter-in-law, I'll take my leave." Rouyin understood that the biological mother and son probably wanted to talk in private, so she got up and left.

De Fei looked back and saw that everyone in the room had left. She said sternly, "Are you trying to imitate the late emperor's treatment of Dong E?"

Yinzhen's eyes became darker and darker, and he didn't say anything. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Mother, I am not the emperor's grandfather, and Yin'er is not Dong E, I won't do that."

Defei felt a little disappointed. Before Yinzhen left, she said calmly, "You know what kind of people His Majesty hates the most..."

Yinzhen paused for a moment, and the next second he walked away without hesitation.

Defei said resentfully, "The fourth child was raised by the Tong family, and he is not close to me. Poor my fourteenth child can't even rely on his own brother." Defei's confidant, Ma Ma, was a little anxious, but the queen was angry and it was difficult to persuade her, so she remained silent.
