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

Wenfu

Wen Shichu walked into the bridal chamber with a bitter and expressionless face. He didn't understand why his father forced him to marry a woman he didn't like at all.

But my father also said that this was a marriage arranged by the Empress. If I refused, it would be disobeying the Empress' order and I would be beheaded.

He had to repay his parents for raising him, and he could only suppress his reluctance and agree to the marriage.

At the end of the day, Wen Shichu was like a walking corpse, listening to the matchmaker's words, completing the day's wedding ceremony, and finally arriving at the bridal chamber surrounded by everyone.

The maid at the door opened the door for Wen Shichu with a smile, but Wen Shichu kept his brows drooping and did not notice the hidden meaning in the maid's eyes.

The maid Hongzhu said with a smile: "Sir, please come in quickly!"

Although the other maid, Cui Mo, did not say anything, she signaled with her eyes and Wen Shichu hurried in.

Wen Shichu coughed twice and walked into the bridal chamber somewhat awkwardly.

Naturally, he would not touch other women because he loved his sister Yue Huan. When he was thinking about how to explain to his new wife, he didn't expect that his new wife actually took off her veil herself.

Wen Shichu's new wife's surname was Zhou and her name was Xiuniang. The name suggested that she was an extremely gentle, quiet and delicate girl.

Wen Shichu looked up at Zhou Xiuniang. The woman had a pair of extremely heroic eyebrows and eyes, and her bright red lips were curled upwards. Against the backdrop of the swaying candlelight, she looked a bit like a heroic woman.

Zhou Xiuniang threw down her veil, strode to Wen Shichu, and sneered, "Are you the imperial physician, my husband?"

Strike first and control others later.

Wen Shichu was suddenly stunned by Zhou Xiuniang's overwhelming pressure. He swallowed subconsciously and stammered, "Yes... I am... but..."

He was about to explain to Zhou Xiuniang, but was interrupted impatiently by Zhou Xiuniang.

"Okay, I see."

Zhou Xiuniang's voice was clearly filled with annoyance. She approached Wen Shichu, staring straight at him, and said, "I don't like you, and marrying you is not my wish. So, you'll have to sleep on the floor tonight, and you can't touch me from now on. But don't worry, I'm not unreasonable. Apart from the maidservants by my side, you can take anyone you want as your concubine, and I won't say a word."

Wen Shichu hesitated for a while, and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? You..."

Zhou Xiuniang came to the table and poured herself a glass of wine. Her bold action made Wen Shichu stunned.

After a glass of wine, Zhou Xiuniang looked at the flickering red candle and said, "If you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me. I will do my best to compensate you. It's a pity that I am not a man. I can't indulge in the battlefield, fight for my country, or take pleasure in revenge and do good deeds. I will not interfere in your family affairs. In three years at the least, five years at the most, I will divorce you. As for compensation, I can give you 30% of my dowry."

She turned to look at Wen Shichu again, "Doctor Wen, what do you think of this deal?"

Doctor Wen finally confirmed that Zhou Xiuniang was not the beautiful, gentle and virtuous woman as rumored, but a remarkable woman.

But it was exactly what he wanted, so he nodded and smiled, "Okay, then it's a deal."

Zhou Xiuniang didn't expect that Doctor Wen, who looked cowardly, was actually so efficient in his work.

She nodded with satisfaction, pulled another set of bedding from the bed and threw it on the floor, smiling as she said, "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wen."

The two men reached an agreement. They acted for each other in front of their elders and successfully concealed it from the elders of the Wen and Zhou families.

Royal Garden

Chun Changzai pulled An Lingrong aside and said with a smile, "Sister An, look at how nice the weather is today. Let's fly a kite together!"

Looking at Chun Changzai's innocent smile that came from the heart, An Lingrong nodded and said, "Okay, sister."

The two people were flying kites and chatting at the same time.

Concubine Chun said, "Yesterday the Emperor said that after the fifteenth of next month he would confer the title of noble lady on me. I said that we would then have three noble ladies in the Yanxi Palace. Sister, guess what the Emperor said?"

An Lingrong smiled gently and said, "How would I know, Your Majesty? What did you say? Please stop keeping me in suspense."

Concubine Chun quietly approached An Lingrong and whispered in her ear with a playful smile, "The Emperor said that there is no main seat in the Yanxi Palace right now. He said that Sister An has the gentlest temperament and plans to make you Concubine An."

An Lingrong was startled and her grip tightened again, causing the kite string to break.

The beautiful kite flew away with the wind.

Chun Changzai cried out in surprise, "Sister An, why did your kite fly away?"

At this time, Chun Changzai's mind and eyes were full of the kite that flew away, and she didn't notice the emotional changes in An Lingrong's eyes at all.

An Lingrong tightly grasped the kite string in her hand, her body trembling slightly.

The Emperor actually planned to confer her the title of concubine. She herself was of low birth, and Concubine Wan and Concubine Fucha already had children, but the Emperor had not yet conferred titles on them. She was surprised to think that...

She was just conferred the title of noble lady some time ago. Even if she was favored by the emperor, she had never been conferred the title of concubine in such a short time. Would the emperor really do this?

An Lingrong looked at Chun Changzai, who was smiling innocently, with suspicion again. Chun Changzai would not lie about such a thing.

Seeing An Lingrong in a daze, Chun Changzai said, "Sister An, wait here for a while. I'll go look for the kite on the rockery over there."

An Lingrong finally came to her senses and wanted to ask the palace maid to accompany Chun Chang.

Chun Chang ran forward, waving her hands and saying, "No need, sister, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, she plunged into the rockery without looking back.

An Lingrong was worried about her, so she had to follow her with Baojuan.

Chun Chang was walking forward and happened to pick up her kite by the pond. When she was about to leave, she heard a sound from under the rockery.

Concubine Hua stood beside the rockery and instructed the eunuch beside her: "Those people are just here to seek official positions. Tell the general to take care of them."

Zhou Ninghai responded, "I understand. If Your Majesty has anything to tell the General, you can spread the word. As for the money those people sent, it won't be long before General Nian has someone bring it in."

Concubine Hua frowned and said, "Be careful not to be discovered. Tell the general that we must have our own people in the court. As for those who are annoying, such as Concubine Wan's father, we should find an opportunity to get rid of them."

Seeing Concubine Hua shouting for war and killing, Zhou Ninghai could only say, "After all, Concubine Wan's father is an official in the court. General Nian is also afraid that if he strikes too hard, the Queen and the Crown Prince will find out."
