Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Concubine Hua turned to look at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have absolutely not harmed Concubine Shen!"

She paused, looked at Yixiu suspiciously, and said meaningfully, "Everyone in this harem knows that the Empress is powerful, and the maids around her are also capable. Palace affairs have always been decided by the Empress and Consort Xian. This little eunuch was frightened for a moment, and it's possible that he was forced to confess!"

Just as Yixiu was about to speak, the Emperor interrupted her, "Alright, let's not talk about what happened today anymore. This man slandered Concubine Hua, his heart is utterly despicable. Take him away and have him beaten to death! Concubine Shen is frightened. Su Peisheng, have the Imperial Household Department send some supplements!"

After saying this, the emperor took Concubine Hua away.

Yixiu was left standing there alone. She looked at the two people's backs as they left and smiled mockingly.

Shen Meizhuang did not expect this result, but by accusing Concubine Hua today, she had already offended her.

After much deliberation, she decided to turn to the Queen. "Your Majesty, I did not lie! I am willing to testify for you!"

However, Shen Meizhuang thought more deeply about Zhen Huan, and for the first time she felt the coldness of the royal family.

The Empress is the legitimate wife and the biological mother of the Crown Prince. The Emperor is afraid of the Empress, so he deliberately promotes Concubine Hua.

"Although I am stupid, I am willing to share the Queen's worries!"

Yixiu didn't object to the two people's intimacy. She smiled faintly and said, "I have done my best for today's matter. Concubine Hua is deeply favored by the emperor, and I can do nothing about it. You two should be careful in the future and don't confront her head-on! If you encounter any problems, send someone to Jingren Palace and tell me or go to Concubine Xian!"

Gyeongin Palace

Yixiu called Xiudong over and warned her carefully, "Tell your men to be careful these days and never show their faces. The emperor is starting to get suspicious of me!"

Xiudong nodded and said, "I understand! But this is a matter of the harem after all. The emperor shouldn't be too concerned about such a trivial matter. I wonder if something happened to the crown prince in the previous dynasty?"

Yixiu also reacted immediately. She quickly asked someone to inquire about it, and sure enough, it was true.

Today the prince wrote a policy paper, the gist of which was to persuade the emperor to open the ports and stop suppressing merchants.

The emperor did not say anything, but asked the ministers in the court what they thought. Prince Xun and Su Chou agreed with the prince's proposal and strongly supported it.

With the two taking the lead, many people in the court also followed suit, including Longkodo.

After hearing this, Yixiu frowned tightly. She hesitated for a moment, then carefully asked, "Is there anyone in the court who objects?"

Huichun replied, "Nian Gengyao and his generals were strongly opposed. Prince Dun, from the clan, was even on the verge of jumping up and down, pointing his finger at our prince and cursing him, saying things like, 'You've forgotten your roots, you're heartless, you've forgotten the teachings of Emperor Kangxi!'"

The more Huichun spoke, the weaker her voice became. It was because Prince Dun's scolding was too harsh.

Yixiu suddenly felt a headache coming on. She continued, "Prince Dun scolded the Crown Prince like that. Didn't the Emperor punish him?"

Huichun shook her head and sighed, "The Emperor only reprimanded him and didn't impose any substantial punishment. Instead, Prince Xun was furious. If it weren't for an old clan leader who stopped him, he would have dragged Prince Dun out and given him a beating! But the Emperor said Prince Dun had always been like this and told Prince Xun not to bother with him!"

After saying this, Huichun said worriedly, "Empress, will the Emperor be angry with our Crown Prince because of this?"

Ever since Honghui was taught by Kangxi himself, Yixiu rarely worried about his affairs.

Firstly, this child is really worry-free. Secondly, Yixiu thinks that she doesn't know much about the affairs of the court. If she gives orders randomly behind Honghui, it will delay him.

I just didn’t expect that Honghui would do such a stupid thing!

Closing the country to the outside world is the rule of our ancestors, it didn't start with the emperor. Why is this kid so stubborn?

And even if you want to dissuade the emperor, you can't drag Prince Xun and others into it!

Isn't this clearly telling the emperor that I am forming a clique for personal gain and making him suspicious?

Yixiu was extremely worried. She covered her head with her hands while saying to Jianqiu, "Jianqiu, call the Crown Prince here early tomorrow morning. I want to question him!"

But Yixiu really wronged Honghui this time. Honghui had never mentioned this policy paper he wrote to anyone in private.

Yangxindian

The emperor carefully looked at the policy paper handed over by Honghui. He felt mixed emotions as he watched the young man submit his report one by one.

Su Peisheng seemed to see the emperor's inner torment, so he stepped forward and handed him a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty wants to come and see Jianzi. He's tired. Have some tea and rest your eyes!"

The emperor took the tea and opened the teacup while chatting with Su Peisheng, "This prince is indeed worthy of being taught by the emperor himself! His literary talent is indeed extraordinary! Otherwise, even if he hadn't shown it to anyone privately, Su Chou and the fourteenth prince would still support him so much!"

After ascending the throne, the emperor sent people to monitor Honghui's every move.

He was both worried and proud of his son.

The Emperor's father had always been rude to him and his brothers, but he held the Crown Prince in high regard. Apart from Empress Hesheli's son, he was the only one to have been raised by his side since childhood. Even before his death, when the Emperor's father passed the throne to him, he insisted that he be made the Crown Prince.

The prince was also very promising, excelling in both civil and military affairs. Among all his sons, he always stood out from the crowd.

Looking at such a favored child of heaven, the emperor felt a little jealous.

He was raised by Queen Tongjia since he was a child, but Queen Tongjia did not really regard him as her son. He knew from a young age that he was not her biological son, so he tried to please Queen Tongjia.

But this also hurt the heart of his biological mother, Concubine De. After Queen Tongjia died, he not only lost his adoptive mother, but even his biological mother disliked him very much.

At that time, Concubine Liang was in favor and the prince was on the throne. He was like a small grass in the palace that no one cared about, suffering miserably.

He carefully tried to please the prince, followed him around and gave him advice, just hoping that the emperor would pay attention to him.

The Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Old Brothers were so mean to him. He was not angry in his heart, but he did not dare to show it.

He endured and endured for many years before finally getting such a position, but why do some people have it from birth?

Honghui was born as a legitimate son and was loved by everyone. Not only was he loved by his biological mother Yixiu, but even Concubine Xian treated him like her own son. When he was old enough to read and write, he was taken to the emperor's side to be raised personally.

The emperor closed his eyes tightly. He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and swept all the memorials on the table to the ground.
