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

"The stunning dance isn't very common, let's try something else!"

Zhen Huan didn't know about Rouze's affairs, but her mother said that the Jinghong Dance is for the beloved man, and she didn't want to dance unwillingly in such an occasion.

"Empress Duan has arrived!"

Everyone looked outside in surprise. Concubine Duan has always been in poor health, so why did she suddenly come to the banquet today?

Concubine Hua's expression was also very unfriendly. Ever since she took charge of the harem, she had been ordering people to secretly harass Concubine Duan. Did she come here today to complain?

Concubine Duan looked a little ugly. She was weak, her face was pale, and there were some dark circles under her eyes.

In the past, when the Empress and the Noble Consort Xian were in charge of the six palaces, they would at least receive their due monthly allowances, and most of the servants in the courtyard were well-behaved.

But since Concubine Hua came to power, she not only withheld all her things from her, but also always gave her leftovers and even didn't give her medicine properly.

The servants in the yard were even more annoying. They fought and quarreled every day, especially at night. Concubine Duan never had a full night's sleep. As soon as she closed her eyes, the yard would be noisy, with either crying or fighting sounds.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about reporting this matter to the emperor or the empress, but what would that mean?

The Queen and Concubine Xian were already in a difficult situation, and the Emperor refused to see them.

Concubine Duan coughed twice, and being supported by Jixiang, she stepped forward and saluted: "Your servant pays respects to the Emperor and the Empress!"

Concubine Hua snorted coldly, "Why do you look so sick, Concubine Duan? Today is Princess Wen Yi's birthday banquet, and you act like this, as if you are deliberately seeking bad luck!"

Concubine Duan smiled slightly, "I have always been in poor health, and I am sorry to have caused Concubine Hua to worry. Just now, when I heard that they were going to perform the Shocking Dance, I suddenly remembered that I also performed the pipa for the emperor in the past, and it seems to be a good match for the Shocking Dance."

Concubine Duan looked up and looked at the emperor nervously, hoping to gain some sympathy from him.

She no longer dared to ask for the emperor's love, but if the emperor did not stop Hua Fei's behavior, she was afraid that she would not live for many years.

The emperor sighed. He still felt somewhat guilty towards Concubine Duan, so he said, "In that case, you can accompany Concubine Wan!"

The emperor had already issued an order, so Zhen Huan had no choice but to change into her dance costume and perform a stunning dance to the pipa music played by Concubine Duan.

But appearances reflect the heart. In this situation, how could Zhen Huan dance without distraction? Prince Dun looked at her and said sarcastically, "That's all you can do when dancing! It's just standard!"

The emperor looked at Zhen Huan who was dancing gracefully. She and Rouze were born similar. During the spinning, Zhen Huan and Rouze's faces merged, and the emperor's memory went back to the time when he first lived in the palace.

At that time, Rouze repeatedly plotted to harm Yixiu, but Yixiu never took it to heart. Instead, she was considerate and always thought about Rouze.

He suddenly looked at Yixiu and said lovingly, "Thank you for your hard work over the years, Queen!"

Concubine Hua: “?”

What does this have to do with the Queen?

Yixiu smiled slightly and counted silently in her heart. Finally, she heard the familiar flute sound.

Everyone was stunned to see Prince Guo walking into the hall playing the Chang Xiang Shou instrument.

Zhen Huan seemed to be inspired by the sound of the flute, and she turned the originally ordinary dance into something extraordinary and graceful.

But the better she danced, the more she looked like Rouze, and the emperor watched the stunning dance with a frown on his face.

After Zhen Huan finished dancing, she looked at the person who had just played the flute with great curiosity. Unexpectedly, it was the lecher she had met by chance by the pond.

Zhen Huan's expression changed slightly, but she still smiled and bowed to Prince Guo.

After Prince Guo returned the gift, he smiled and bowed deeply to the emperor: "Brother Your Majesty, I am late. I beg your forgiveness!"

The emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, so he casually waved his hand, asked Prince Guo to go to the banquet, and ignored him.

After a while, the emperor felt a little upset and left early. The originally happy banquet was ruined by this stunning dance.

Just as Concubine Hua was about to step forward to ask, Su Peisheng pulled her back with a smile. She could only watch the emperor's departing back and feel secretly angry.

She turned to the crowd and said, "The Emperor was in such good spirits just now, why did he leave so suddenly? Concubine Duan and Concubine Wan have noticed that your singing and dancing really spoiled the fun."

Among those present, Yixiu was the only one who knew why the Emperor wanted to leave. She spoke to stop Concubine Hua, "Well, Concubine Hua, today is supposed to be a happy day. Why say such things to dampen the mood? Since the Emperor has left first, the rest of the sisters can continue to have fun together."

Concubine Hua sneered and said sarcastically, "The Emperor has left, what's the fun in that? Your Majesty, I'll take my leave."

…………

After the emperor returned to his study, he sighed repeatedly.

He flipped through the book casually and said:

"The sun and the moon are as high as the sky, husband and wife are as close as the sky. I wonder what Li Ye was thinking when he wrote this poem."

Su Peisheng sensed the emperor's mood and quickly stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Your Majesty, I am a fool and have never been very good at poetry. However, the Empress has always loved and respected you, and this cannot be lied to."

The emperor was also well aware of this. Yixiu took care of trivial matters for him, planned every step for him, and gave birth to children for him. He really shouldn't doubt Yixiu or suppress her.

But as an emperor, he didn't want his son to be stronger than himself, so he...

"In Concubine Duan's palace, have someone explain. Concubine Hua should have vented her anger. Concubine Duan, I'm sorry for her!"

Su Peisheng nodded in agreement and went out after receiving the instructions.

Now the emperor was the only one in the room. He sat on the cold dragon throne, looking at the empty room, feeling that it was really lonely up there.

Even at this position, there is no one I can talk to.

…………

in a few days

Yixiu finally found evidence that Concubine Hua had ordered Zhou Ninghai to bribe Liu Bin and frame Shen Meizhuang for a fake pregnancy.

She had Liu Bin kidnapped and called Shen Meizhuang to go to the emperor.

Liu Bin honestly explained what had happened. "Your Majesty, I really had no choice. I was forced by Concubine Hua. Concubine Hui actually didn't know whether she was pregnant or not. Concubine Hua bribed me to add medicine to Concubine Hui's usual prescriptions to make her look like she was pregnant. That's why..."

The emperor looked at the evidence and was so angry that he threw everything on the table to the ground.

"Outrageous! Really outrageous!"

Liu Bin knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe. In order to survive, he could only put all the blame on the Nian family.

"Your Majesty, I am truly forced into this situation! General Nian is so powerful, and I was not originally the imperial physician serving Consort Hui. Since General Nian has a way to transfer Imperial Physician Jiang and Imperial Physician Wen away, my head is nothing to General Nian. I really..."
