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

"But now I am just a princess, whose child can I adopt?"

Rouze said somewhat discouraged.

Jueluo really wanted to pry open Rouze's head and see what was inside!

I have already pointed it out to this extent, doesn’t she understand?

"The concubines in the mansion now are indeed of high social status, but there's no guarantee that the Fourth Prince won't favor someone else in the future! Besides, even if the Fourth Prince doesn't take the initiative to favor someone, you won't send someone to him!"

Jueluo said with a look of regret.

Rouze then felt a surge of hope. She struggled to get up, took out a bronze mirror from under the bed and looked at her face carefully.

Looking at her extremely haggard self in the mirror, Rouze had no time to feel sad. She gently gathered the loose hair on her forehead and tried to smile.

"Mother is right. Instead of sitting here in this courtyard and feeling sorry for myself, I'd rather fight my way out!"

Rouze looked firmly at the beautiful face in the mirror. Although she could not give birth, she still had this face, and she was determined to win the favor of the Fourth Prince.

Seeing that Rouze had ignited her hope of survival, Jueluo finally felt relieved.

.........

When the sun rises, the mist and dew remain, and the green pines are as if they are covered with ointment.

"Sister Qi looks so haggard! There's a new sister in the mansion. Isn't Sister Qi happy?"

Li Jingyan looked at Qi Yuebin, who had dark circles under his eyes, and joked with a smile.

Qi Yuebin glanced at Li Jingyan speechlessly. What was he doing so crazy so early in the morning? Why was he biting everyone he caught?

She still has the nerve to laugh at herself. Didn’t she throw things and smash dishes in her own yard last night?

Only Lu Yingfeng drank her tea leisurely and advised, "Sisters, please stop joking. When the concubine comes, she'll probably laugh at us old people for being unruly."

Before he finished speaking, a cheerful voice came from outside.

"My dear sisters, I'm sorry. Today is the first day for me to pay my respects to the wife, and I'm late!"

A young woman with heroic looks, wearing a pink Manchu dress, with her hair in a bun, a pink hair flower on one side and a few gold hairpins on the other, walked in leisurely from outside.

Li Jingyan and others naturally had never seen Gan Ziyun before. Today was the first time they met. They looked at Gan Ziyun carefully and found that she was a beauty. Unlike the traditional elegant women, Gan Ziyun was more cheerful and heroic.

Gan Ziyun's position is higher than others, so naturally they have to pay their respects to her.

Qi Yuebin was the oldest and was the first to stand up and bow, saying, "My concubine greets the concubine!"

Gan Ziyun smiled and raised her hand. "Thank you for being so polite, sisters. You came into the mansion earlier than me. I hope you can give me more advice in the future!"

As she spoke, she asked the maid beside her to deliver gifts to several people on a tray.

"These are just little trinkets I brought from home. They're not worth much! What good things haven't you sisters seen? Consider them all a token of my love!"

On the tray, there was a pair of earrings made of red gold and pearls, a pair of earrings made of red jade beads, and a pair of earrings made of red coral and cloisonné.

The jewelry is very delicate in style and shines brightly in the morning light.

Li Jingyan took the lead and took a pair of red coral cloisonné and looked at it in his hand.

"Sister, you're so generous! You're willing to give away such beautiful earrings!"

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Tao Ye, Gan Ziyun's maid, scolded her, "How dare you come up here without permission! Li Gege, the concubine hasn't spoken yet! Why are you so unauthorized? What are the rules in this palace?"

Gan Ziyun glanced at the maid with a smile, then chuckled and said, "Tao Ye, we are all sisters! Li Gege must be too excited! It's just some small things, Li Gege, don't take it to heart!"

The master and servant played the good cop and the bad cop respectively, making Li Jingyan feel ashamed.

Li Jingyan put the earrings on the tray with a red face, then returned to her seat angrily.

Lu Yingfeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister Li is too anxious!"

Qi Yuebin, who had been provoked, naturally didn't want to miss this good opportunity to mock Li Jingyan, and laughed and joked, "Sister, you are really something. You have made a fool of yourself by letting the concubine see you. If you don't know, you would think that the master treats you badly and you have never seen a good thing!"

Gan Ziyun looked at the reactions of several people, chuckled, and memorized their personalities.

"It's so lively so early in the morning! What are you laughing at?"

Yixiu was wearing a light blue Manchu dress today and a phoenix hairpin on her head. Now that she was more than six months pregnant, she no longer wore crotch tops but flat shoes instead.

Gan Ziyun looked at Yixiu and respectfully performed the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows.

"Concubine Gan pays her respects to the Lady, may the Lady be blessed with great health and good health!"

Yixiu smiled as she watched Gan finish her ceremony, then instructed Jianqiu to hand the tea bowl to Gan Ziyun.

After Gan Ziyun took the tea bowl, he knelt respectfully in front of Yixiu and waited for Yixiu to drink the tea.

After Yixiu finished her tea, she asked Gan Ziyun to get up.

She also asked Huichun to get a gold hairpin made of pure gold and inlaid with emerald jade from the house.

"This is a small gift from me to my sister. I hope she doesn't mind it!"

Gan Ziyun smiled and said, "Of course I can't dislike the things given by the Lady!"

Huichun couldn't help but frown when she saw Gan Ziyun, who was a scheming person. Although Gan Ziyun looked cheerful and generous, he was actually very cunning.

She was behind, but she noticed Gan Ziyun's every move since she came here. She only used three pairs of earrings to test out the personalities of the three ladies in the mansion.

It seems that he is quite an important figure. I’m afraid this mansion will be bustling again!

Yixiu looked at Gan Ziyun and said with a smile to the other three, "Today is the first day that Concubine Jin enters the mansion. From now on, everyone should work together to serve the Fourth Master and raise children for him. Don't be jealous. If I find out, I will definitely not let you off easily!"

Seeing this, several people stood up from their seats and said respectfully, "Yes!"

"I heard that there is another Princess Rouze in this mansion!"

As soon as they sat down, Gan Ziyun started talking again.

Yixiu smiled and wanted to see what Gan Ziyun would say next.

"Just now, I gave a pair of earrings to all three sisters. Sister Rouze wears the same pair of earrings as the other three sisters. I was thinking of giving Sister Rouze a pair of earrings as well!"

Gan Ziyun had offended Li Jingyan just now, so Li Jingyan naturally would not miss this opportunity to challenge her. He deliberately covered his lips and smiled, "The concubine is very generous, but I'm afraid she may not appreciate your kindness!"

Everyone naturally knew what happened yesterday, so they did not refute Li Jingyan's words.

"Gege Li, what you said is not right. We are all sisters in the mansion, so we should be treated equally. Otherwise, you will think that I am deliberately ostracizing Gege Rouze!"

Gan Ziyun certainly didn't tolerate Li Jingyan and immediately retorted.

"Well, since Concubine Consort is so kind, then you can have someone send the things to Princess Rouze's courtyard later, right?"
