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

Gyeongin Palace

The emperor came to Yixiu and wanted to discuss with her who would raise the child after Fucha Guiren gave birth.

Noble Lady Fucha was not an ordinary concubine. Her family, the Fucha clan, was of noble status, so it was necessary to find the most suitable adoptive mother for Noble Lady Fucha's child, so as to make the Fucha family of the previous dynasty speechless.

The emperor actually wanted Yixiu to raise Noble Lady Fucha's children, but he was also worried that Yixiu would have too many children and too much power.

The other high-ranking concubines in the harem, including Consort Xian Guifei, are still on the same side as the queen. If the child is given to her to raise, it will be no different from giving it to the queen.

Concubine Qi is stupid to begin with, and she has even taught the Third Prince in a mess. It is not appropriate to leave such a young child to her.

Concubine Duan was sickly and weak, and couldn't even take care of herself, so the only one left was Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing was not of high birth.

A hint of annoyance clearly flashed across the emperor's face. He reached out and peeled an orange on the table. After wrapping the orange, he personally fed it to Yixiu's mouth.

Yixiu was stunned for a moment, but in order not to offend the emperor, she still ate it.

The emperor's voice was faint and he spoke slowly, as if he was just talking about something insignificant.

"Noble Lady Fucha has a bad temper. If I leave the child to her, I'm afraid the child will be spoiled. However, it's difficult to deal with the Fucha family, so I want to find a suitable adoptive mother for her child."

Yixiu just wanted to spit out the orange that the emperor had just fed her. She knew that the emperor's visit was bound to be bad and would cause trouble for her again.

Yixiu looked calm and said with a smile, "If Noble Lady Fucha gave birth to a princess, it would be fine. But if she gave birth to a prince and wanted to give him to another concubine, I'm afraid the Fucha family would not let it go!"

The emperor frowned, "That's what I'm worried about, so I want to find a noble adoptive mother for this child."

Yixiu and the emperor have been married for many years, so she certainly knows what the emperor is thinking, but sometimes being too smart is not a good thing.

Yixiu smiled and said, "There's no one in the harem who has children and a noble status. Hmm... Concubine Duan, something's not right. She's too weak and I'm afraid she can't take good care of the child. What about Concubine Jing?"

The emperor said in a cold tone: "Jing Fei is attentive, but her background..."

Yixiu had no choice but to flatter the emperor. She smiled and said, "Jing Fei is an old servant of the emperor. Now she is one of the four concubines. She is still a foster mother. Under heaven, all land belongs to the king. All the people in the world are his subjects. As long as the emperor speaks, the Fucha family will definitely give him face."

She didn't want to find a noble adoptive mother for Noble Lady Fucha's child. This would only make things difficult for her.

She would not raise Noble Lady Fucha's child herself or let Concubine Xian raise him. Not only would she arouse resentment, but she would also not gain any benefits.

The emperor thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. At the moment, there was no one in the palace more suitable than Concubine Jing.

Besides, it’s still unknown whether it’s a prince or a princess, so let’s just leave it like this for now.

"That's fine. The Queen is intelligent and virtuous. It's a blessing for me!"

Yixiu knew that the emperor's suspicion had come back. She reached out her hand and placed it on the emperor's hand, saying softly, "I just want to share your worries. As long as you are well, I will be happy."

.........

After Fucha Guiren went into labor, she gave birth to a daughter. Due to the influence of her previous experience, Fucha Guiren not only had a difficult delivery, but even the daughter she gave birth to at great risk looked sickly and weak, like a kitten.

Noble Lady Fucha was very disappointed when she found out that she didn't give birth to a son, and she became angry again.

First, she scolded the midwife for not being attentive, then she scolded the palace maids, and finally she even scolded Doctor Wen, whom Yixiu had specially assigned to her.

The emperor originally understood the hardships she had gone through in giving birth, and he also felt guilty for almost causing her miscarriage.

But now that Noble Lady Fucha has made such a fuss, all the kindness has been destroyed.

The emperor did not wait for her to finish her confinement and announced his decree directly. He first promoted Noble Lady Fucha to Shunpin and gave her daughter to Concubine Jing to raise.

The emperor announced his decree outside the door and left without even looking at Noble Lady Fucha.

Concubine Jing didn't expect that she would actually have a daughter. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

She knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "I thank the emperor for his grace. I will raise the princess well for the emperor."

A hint of deep meaning flashed in Zhen Huan's eyes, but she smiled softly and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Sister Jingfei."

Concubine Jing also smiled and returned the greeting: "Thank you, sister."

Concubine Jing thought that it was Zhen Huan who whispered in the emperor's ear, making him think of her, and now her attitude towards Zhen Huan was as good as it could be.

Zhen Huan has not forgotten that Noble Lady Fucha had tortured her on purpose before.

She tilted her head and warned meaningfully, "Sister, you'd better take the princess away first! Noble Lady Fucha has that kind of temper. If she starts to make a fuss later, it will be troublesome."

Concubine Jing understood immediately. She took the palace maids and eunuchs beside her and asked the wet nurse to take the princess away while Noble Lady Fucha was still unable to react.

Just as Noble Lady Fucha was feeling a little better after venting her anger, she saw Zhen Huan lift the curtain and walk in with a smile on her face.

Zhen Huan bowed to Noble Lady Fucha with a smile, "Your humble servant pays respects to Concubine Shun. May Concubine Shun live in peace and happiness."

Noble Lady Fucha glanced at Zhen Huan with some confusion, and the maid beside her quickly explained, "Congratulations, Concubine Shun. For your meritorious service in giving birth to a daughter, the Emperor has promoted you to the rank of Concubine."

Shunpin was very proud, and even looked at Zhen Huan with a hint of disgust in her eyes.

"After all, I am blessed. Unlike some people who can't keep their children, I can only stand here and envy them."

Shunpin suddenly thought that there was another Concubine An in the Yanx Palace. Now she and Concubine An were both concubines, so who was the master of the Yanx Palace?

Unexpectedly, An Lingrong also came with gifts to congratulate her. "Sister, congratulations on your promotion to the rank of concubine. I came here today to congratulate you. Fortunately, you still live in the same palace with me, but I'm afraid it won't be as convenient for us to see each other in the future."

Noble Lady Fucha reacted instantly. The emperor actually asked her, a woman who had just given birth, to move out and kept Concubine An.

She could no longer suppress her anger and cursed, "Bitch, you are so heartless. I just gave birth to a child, and you asked me to move out. I know it, it must be you two bitches who deliberately stirred up trouble in front of the emperor, which is why the emperor did this."

An Lingrong smiled innocently and said pitifully, "Sister Shunpin, what are you talking about? I don't understand at all."
