Madam Li, who was beside Jueluo, scolded her fiercely, "How dare you, a concubine like you, speak in front of the master and the mistress? How dare you, a concubine, not show respect to the mistress?"

Jueluo looked down upon Concubine Rou, saying she was just a lowly concubine who used her beauty to show off. She came from a prominent family, so Concubine Rou was no match for her.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Rou was not as docile as usual, but leaned weakly against Fei Yanggu.

"Master! I'm pregnant now, and I feel dizzy when I bow~"

When these words were spoken, Jueluo was shocked. When did this little bitch get pregnant?

Fei Yanggu is already so old, and there has been no news about the concubines in the backyard for more than ten years. How is it possible?

Fei Yanggu had known the news for a long time, and he glanced at Jueluo with disdain.

I am old but still strong, what do I know?

"Well, Rou'er is pregnant. Why are you always picking on her? If you have this free time, you should spend more time disciplining the child, and you won't get into such trouble!"

Although Fei Yanggu was angry, Rouze was the one he had loved since she was a child, so he couldn't just ignore her. So he let Concubine Rou go back first, and asked the housekeeper to prepare many supplements and rewards for Concubine Rou.

Aunt Rou was overjoyed and gave Fei Yanggu a gentle kiss on the face before leaving.

Jueluo's face turned black. This concubine Rou was originally a slave on the farm. When Fei Yanggu was inspecting the farm, she climbed onto Fei Yanggu's bed and directly sat in the position of concubine.

Because her name contained the character "rou", which conflicted with the character "rouze", Jueluo originally wanted to change her name. However, after changing her name, she fainted and fell ill every other day. She called a fortune teller who said that the character "rou" would save her life.

Everyone knew that this was a trick played by the woman in the backyard, but Fei Yanggu just believed it.

From then on, the grudge between Jueluo and Concubine Rou was formed.

Aunt Rou glanced at Jueluo with pride, and reluctantly raised herself up casually as a gesture of taking her leave.

"Master, you've loved Rouze since she was a child. You can't just ignore her! Her brother is currently serving in the army. If he were to learn of her sister's misfortune on the front lines, he'd be deeply troubled. The thought of my two children suffering like this would rip my heart apart!"

Jueluo ran to Fei Yanggu with a feeling of grievance and cried.

But after being accustomed to seeing Concubine Rou's pretty, frail and innocent face, Fei Yanggu felt that the more he looked at Jueluo's face, which had wrinkles on it and looked a little mean due to her age, that it looked more and more like a mean old woman.

Fei Yanggu shifted his body slightly with a look of disdain. "Things have already come to this. What else can I do? I can only write a letter to the Fourth Prince and Empress Defei, asking the Fourth Prince to accept Rouze!"

Jueluo's heart and eyes were filled with grievances. She looked at Fei Yanggu and said, "But Rouze is the legitimate daughter after all. She married into the palace, but she has to be inferior to her own concubine sister. How can this be appropriate? And this child has always been strong-willed!"

Fei Yanggu's mood had improved a lot after being comforted by his little concubine, but when he saw Jueluo still chattering here, he felt very annoyed.

It even reminded him of that day at the banquet when Fei Yanggu slammed the bed in anger in the face of all the ridicule from his colleagues.

"She's always been strong-willed, even trying to get into a man's bed. You've really raised a good child!"

Fei Yanggu coughed in anger, "Heng'an, he's a man. If he can't handle the emperor's mission because of these trivial matters in the harem, then he can't bear the burden of the Ulanara family, let alone be my son!"

Jueluo was so frightened that she dared not utter a word. She did not expect Fei Yanggu to be so angry. She had no choice but to bow to Fei Yanggu in a wronged manner and left.

…………

"Rouzhe, there's no chance of you becoming the legitimate wife. It's all because of my mother's incompetence!"

Jueluo sighed and said that Fei Yanggu's request would not work at all. He would never go to Kangxi to beg for mercy just because of Rouze.

In this case, he could only place his hopes on Concubine De in the palace, hoping that she would accept his money and allow his daughter to become a concubine.

After hearing this, Rouze burst into tears of grievance, "But mother, if I enter the mansion, won't I be on equal footing with Sister Yixiu? If she gives birth to a child, won't I be inferior to her?"

Rouze felt from the bottom of her heart that Yixiu was just a concubine's daughter. Even if she married into the Fourth Prince's mansion, she would still be superior to Yixiu. But according to the current situation, Yixiu was about to step on his head. How could she tolerate this?

Jueluo looked at her daughter's pitiful and innocent appearance, her heart filled with heartache. She held Rouze's hand and whispered:

"My son, I know that doing this is really unfair to you, but you are the legitimate daughter of the first wife, my daughter. Once you enter the palace and win the heart of the Fourth Prince, I will let him promote you to be his legitimate wife!"

Rouze sighed, this was all she could do now.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

The Fourth Prince's injury healed, Fei Yanggu's illness recovered, and even the rumors about Rouze and the Fourth Prince seemed to have dissipated a lot with the passage of time.

Qi Yuebin has been taking care of the Fourth Prince these days, and she naturally learned from the Fourth Prince that Rouze will be entering the mansion soon.

Qi Yuebin was full of hostility towards this woman he had never met before, and even looked down on her.

She felt from the bottom of her heart that this was a shameless vixen and she would have to be more careful in the future.

"Yier, I'm so sorry for what you've done. Now I know what a true good wife is!"

While the Fourth Prince was recuperating from his injuries, Yixiu not only took care of her pregnancy but also carefully managed the housework in the mansion.

In her previous life, Yixiu was the Queen and had no problem managing the entire Forbidden City, let alone a small residence of the Fourth Prince, so naturally she had to take care of every detail.

"Master always teases me, saying, 'What a good wife!' I just want to share your worries!"

The Fourth Prince was very satisfied with Yixiu. He used to think that Yixiu was a little petty, but recently he found her more dignified and generous.

The Fourth Prince personally peeled an orange for Yixiu and handed it to her.

"I think the Emperor will come to the palace today to announce his decree, appointing you as his legitimate wife. Yi'er, you are now my legitimate wife!"

Yixiu couldn't help feeling dazed when she heard the word "wife". She vaguely remembered her previous life.

In her previous life, she seemed to have heard people in Shoukang Palace say that the emperor once told Zhen Huan's sister Zhen Yurao that I can have many queens, but only one wife.

I never thought that I could now be worthy of being called a virtuous wife by the Fourth Prince.

…………

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The Fourth Prince's Consort, Lady Ulanara, is dignified, intelligent, respectful, prudent, virtuous, gentle, and courteous. She is hereby enthroned as the First Consort. I decree this."
