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

East Palace

Seeing the prince smiling foolishly, Su Chou walked up to him and patted him hard on the shoulder.

"Your Highness, I wonder what happened that made you so happy! I heard that you cured a sick girl in the restaurant and severely punished a playboy who molested her. You're so happy, could it be that you've fallen in love with her?"

When people are young, they admire their parents; when they know how to be lustful, they admire young girls.

Su Chou was also an experienced person. It was normal for the prince to fall in love with a girl from any family at his age.

But he couldn't help but remind her, "The draft is coming up soon. You're smart. Don't cause any trouble at this time."

It’s not that Su Chou is worried, but the Aisin Gioro family is full of romantic men.

Back then, Emperor Shunzhi became a monk for the sake of Consort Dong E.

This matter is a royal secret. If Su Chou had not reached this position and seen some secret files of the royal family, he would not have known about it.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it even if someone told him about it.

The prince gradually came back to his senses. He tilted his head and casually asked Su Chou, "Uncle, have you ever met a subordinate whom you particularly wanted to recruit?

Su Chou finally felt relieved. He said calmly, "Of course there is, but he has been recruited now."

The prince looked up and asked, "Who is it? How come I don't know?"

Su Chou said casually with a smile: "Nian Gengyao, he is a master at military operations, but his brain is too stupid."

The prince turned around and asked Su Chou seriously, "If I want to win over someone, but I can't do anything to hurt him, what method should I use?"

Su Chou showed an intriguing expression, and his tone was a little playful.

"If someone is as talented as Mr. Zhuge, then naturally we should treat him with respect and courtesy. Or we can cater to his interests. If he loves money, we can promise him gold and silver treasures; if he loves sex, we can promise him beautiful maids and beauties; if he loves power, we can promise him high positions and generous salaries."

The prince couldn't help but think, what exactly did the young man like, gold, silver, and treasures, beautiful maids and beauties, or high positions and generous salaries?

It seems like he doesn’t like it very much!

Su Chou had already noticed that something was wrong with the prince. After chatting with him for a while, he ordered people to find out who the prince had met that made him so distracted.

But after getting the news, Su Chou felt helpless.

The word "fate" is truly wonderful.

Longkodo wanted to marry his granddaughter to the prince, but he didn't expect that the prince would come to the rescue of the girl in a blink of an eye. Look at how the prince can't forget her.

But he felt something was wrong. Why did the prince ask him if he wanted to recruit talented people?

Could it be that Miss Tong Jia has no interest in the position of Crown Princess and wants to go out and explore the world like a man?

The more Su Chou thought about this matter, the more headache he felt. He simply reported the whole matter to Yixiu and asked Yixiu to make plans.

Gyeongin Palace

It is appropriate to correct the appearance of Consort Hexian, and then look at the portraits of the concubines to be selected sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xiudong didn't shy away from addressing Concubine Xian. "Lord Su said that the Crown Prince rescued the daughter of the Tong family at the restaurant. There seems to be something fishy going on between the two of them. Lord Su also wants the Empress to make a decision."

Concubine Xian couldn't help laughing, "Honghui has finally grown up. It seems that he will have a lover."

She said this with a smile as she flipped through the booklet in her hand, wanting to see what the young lady from the Tonggiya clan looked like.

Concubine Xian moved so quickly that she almost damaged the booklet sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tao Ye hurriedly helped Concubine Xian to look through it.

"My lady, please take your time. Don't be anxious."

Yixiu said with a smile: "Has she been raised by my side since she was a child? Look at your queen, she is even more anxious than me!"

Concubine Xian said proudly, "Of course. Honghui is also the child I have loved since he was a child. As for the one he loves, I must take good care of him!"

Tao Ye finally turned to the page about Tong Jia Suyue. "My Lady, look at this Miss Tong. She's really pretty!"

Longkodo wanted his granddaughter to be selected, so the painter naturally gave him a reward.

Miss Tong Jia is a beauty in her own right, and with the painter's careful depiction, she becomes even more unforgettable.

"She is truly beautiful. Today, after seeing the portrait of Miss Tong, I finally understand what it means to be 'graceful at fifteen, more beautiful than a fairy in heaven, and as beautiful as a lotus in the dry land'.

Yixiu also stood up and walked to the chair of Concubine Xian. The two of them had always had a close relationship, so there was no need to care about those empty formalities.

Yixiu looked at the beauty in the painting, and she was indeed as beautiful as a fairy.

But she also guessed that this was probably due to Longkodo's manipulation behind the scenes. How much silver did he give to the painter?

Look at the scenery, the clothes, the jewelry, and the expressions, each one is vivid.

"It's really good. If Honghui likes her, then she can be a concubine."

The position of Crown Princess, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, the ministers in the court, the nobles of the Eight Banners, how many people are eyeing it?

The position of Crown Princess this time was just a gimmick, and Yixiu had no intention of marrying a wife for the Crown Prince this time.

Wife is Qi.

The prince will become the emperor in the future, so being his wife is really a difficult thing.

As a mother, Yixiu naturally hopes that the queen position will be chosen by the woman her son likes.

Although the two of them cannot be extremely affectionate, they still need to respect each other and live in harmony with each other. Otherwise, if they have their own ulterior motives like the emperor and I, wouldn't that be a tragedy?

I don’t want my son to go through the same hardships I have gone through.

Being a queen is not just about being of one mind with the emperor and his wife. It also requires managing all the trivial matters in the harem, balancing the relationships between the concubines, and the mutual support between the former dynasty and the harem. One move can affect the whole body. Without a smart mind, even handling these matters will be exhausting.

Many queens in history died young because of these things.

The queen also has the responsibility to give birth to a legitimate son. In her previous life, it was because she had no legitimate son that she raised an incompetent third prince, and ultimately had no hope at all.

Yixiu looked up at the luxurious decoration of Jingren Palace, then looked back at her phoenix chair.

"Every woman in this world wants to be queen, but who knows that the position of queen is like flowers in bloom and brocade in the heat of fire. It may seem glamorous, but in reality, every step is difficult."

Consort Xian noticed Yixiu's mood was off, so she quickly changed the subject, jokingly saying, "Being the Crown Prince's concubine is an honor to his family. Our Crown Prince is the best in terms of looks and talent. Let alone a concubine, even if he were to be chosen as a concubine, I'm afraid those women would be fighting over it."

Yixiu then smiled, "You are like a mother, you think everything about your son is good. Take a closer look now, and when the second son chooses his wife in the future, we will have experience."
