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

Zhen Huan's attempt to sow discord was successful, and the emperor treated Nian Shilan coldly for a long time.

This made Nian Shilan extremely anxious. On the one hand, she was worried that what she had done would be discovered and would harm the Nian family.

On the other hand, if the emperor really dislikes me, then that thing will be useless. How can I avenge my family?

.........

Gyeongin Palace

Yixiu was not idle during this period. She upgraded the spices prepared for the emperor.

Today's spices are not only addictive, but they are also mixed with other spices and are completely undetectable.

This kind of incense will only gradually drain a person's body, and will often stimulate anger. Combined with the unique ginseng soup, even if the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital comes, they can only find out that it is due to the excessive heart fire caused by anger, and cannot detect that it is poisoning.

Yixiu wrapped the spices in a paper bag with satisfaction. Now all she needed was a trigger that would make the emperor angry.

Yixiu had already prepared for the emperor anything that could cause his wrath.

She asked Jianqiu to prepare a food box filled with supplements, and she would personally take it to the Yangxin Palace to visit the emperor.

The Emperor still had great respect for Yixiu. He smiled as he ate, giving her face, "The Empress is usually very busy, but she still thinks of me. We have been husband and wife for many years. Now, time has passed quickly. Thinking back to the time when you and I were an unremarkable prince and an unfavored concubine, we could be considered to have a mutual understanding."

Yixiu also smiled and said, "My life was not easy back then. If it weren't for the Emperor, I wouldn't be able to live my life as the mother of the country today. I'm thinking of going to Ganlu Temple one day to worship the gods and Buddhas. Firstly, I want to pray for the stability of the Qing Dynasty, secondly, I want to pray for the health of the Emperor so that we can see each other more often, and thirdly, I want to pray for marriages for my children."

The emperor thought about it and felt that what Yixiu said made sense.

Just mentioning the children's marriage, the emperor raised an eyebrow and said in a leisurely tone, "Who is the queen trying to arrange a marriage for? The prince is the heir to the throne of a country, and his marriage cannot be sloppy."

Yixiu rolled her eyes silently in her heart, but smiled on her face, "Your Majesty, you are joking. The Crown Prince's marriage is the top priority, and there is no rush right now. I am thinking of Pingle. This girl must find a good husband. I have a son of heaven like the Emperor, a husband of my dreams, and I must make good plans for my daughter, right?"

The emperor was very happy with the flattery. He also truly loved Pingle. The curve of his lips deepened, "My princess deserves the best. She is my legitimate princess, the apple of my eye. I will ask her to find the best man in the world."

Yixiu remembered Pingle's instructions, and she followed the emperor's words and said, "Speaking of choosing a good man, I'm having a headache. That child has always been opinionated. As parents, if we like someone, but the child doesn't like him, it will be troublesome."

The Emperor frowned, looked at Yixiu and asked, "Does the Empress want Pingle to pick the one she likes? That's not impossible. My legitimate daughter is the most noble girl in the world. She can choose from the outstanding legitimate sons of princes and ministers in the capital. Why not organize a banquet in the near future and gather all the young men together so that Pingle can choose and keep an eye out for anyone she likes."

Yixiu had this plan in mind. She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "But this way, the purpose is too clear. Pingle definitely can't go to this banquet alone. In fact, if there are any legitimate daughters of the clan who are of marriageable age and have a good relationship with Pingle, they can also be invited."

The emperor nodded and said, "Then it's up to the Empress to arrange. After a while, let the Imperial Observatory choose an auspicious day. I will take the Empress to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings. When we return, we will make arrangements for the children."

Yixiu whispered softly, "Your Majesty, why don't you take all the concubines with you? This time, we will definitely have to stay out of the palace for a few days to pray, and I am afraid that I alone cannot serve you well."

Since Yixiu has spoken, why would the emperor disagree?

Just as Yixiu had expected, the emperor directly chose the recently favored Zhen Huan, An Lingrong, Nian Shilan, and Fang Chunyi.

The emperor specially chose Prince Guo as his companion among his close ministers. After all, there was no one else among his brothers who could chat with him.

When Concubine Chun learned that the emperor was going to take her to Ganlu Temple to pray for blessings, she was very excited.

She pulled An Lingrong's sleeve and said excitedly, "That's great, Sister An. I haven't been out since entering the palace. Although Ganlu Temple is a temple and there's nothing fun to do, it's good to be able to go out and take a walk."

Ever since the last kite incident, An Lingrong has become noticeably more cautious.

In order to prevent Concubine Chun from encountering any danger, she directly pleaded with Yixiu, hoping that Concubine Chun could stay by her side.

Xiu naturally agreed to such a small request.

In order to allow Zhen Huan and Prince Guo to meet by chance, Yixiu secretly instructed An Lingrong to take Concubine Chun to stroll around the back mountain.

"The weather is very good now. I vaguely remember that there seemed to be fruit trees in the back hills of Ganlu Temple. Concubine Chun is a lively person, so don't restrict her this time. Jianqiu, take Concubine An and Concubine Chun to the back hills for a stroll."

When An Lingrong heard the Queen say this, she thought the Queen had some plans.

Could it be that the Queen wanted her to take Concubine Chun away so that Concubine Nian and Concubine Wan could get together and have a conflict?

An Lingrong saw through it but kept silent. She smiled and thanked him, saying, "I thank the Empress for her care and concern. The Empress has brought blessings to the harem. I will always remember your protection and will never forget your kindness."

Yixiu deliberately sent An Lingrong and Concubine Chun away. She also asked Huichun to tell Concubine Nian to try her best to win over the emperor and not let him go to find Zhen Huan.

Otherwise, how can this big show go on?

Nian Shilan originally hated Zhen Huan, and after following Yixiu's orders, she naturally wanted to target Zhen Huan.

Halfway through the journey, Nian Shilan pretended to be unwell and went to the emperor.

The emperor was completely captivated by Nian Shilan's coquettish and infatuated behavior, and he couldn't think of Zhen Huan and the others at all.

Zhen Huan didn't care. After arriving at Ganlu Temple, everyone followed the emperor and the empress to pray for blessings. After the ceremony was over, they could return to the meditation room to rest for a while.

Zhen Huan thought that since she had finally gotten out, she might as well go out for a walk. She originally wanted to walk with An Lingrong and Chun Guiren, but she didn't expect that the two of them had already left.

Cui Jinxi reminded: "Ganlu Temple is a national temple after all, you should be careful."

At this time, a nun came over and performed a Buddhist salute to Zhen Huan.

"Greetings to this master. I'm afraid you are a distinguished guest from the harem. Two distinguished guests just went to the back mountain. Why don't you go and take a look? The scenery in the back mountain is quite nice now."

Zhen Huan thanked them and thought about going to find An Lingrong and Chun Guiren to accompany them.
