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

The Empress Dowager was the first to set this precedent, and the Emperor took the opportunity to give the Prince two beautiful girls as concubines.

One was the niece of Concubine Qi Li Jingyan, named Li Suining.

Concubine Qi has already spoken. For the sake of the Third Prince's face and the preservation of the brotherhood between him and the Crown Prince, Li Suining must be chosen no matter what.

The other one was a little unexpected to everyone, because that girl looked particularly inconspicuous among so many flowers. It’s not that her appearance was bad, but among so many beautiful girls, she was like a green leaf.

If the emperor had not given her to the prince as a concubine, no one would have been able to see her.

As luck would have it, this woman was Zhou Xiuniang's sister Zhou Qingniang.

Zhou Qingniang was not Zhou Xiuniang's biological sister. Zhou Xiuniang's mother passed away when she was five years old. Her father remarried soon after and the remarriage had a daughter, who was Zhou Qingniang.

Yixiu knew what her son was thinking, so she did not give him any concubines.

I thought the selection was about to end, but at this moment, I suddenly heard the voices of guards and eunuchs dissuading me from outside.

"If I promise you that you can't go in, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still selecting women inside. These women are all from the Eight Banners. It would be unbecoming of you to go in so rashly."

The eunuch guarding the gate had a look of disgust on his face. Was Ru Dancing crazy? Today was the prince's selection day, what did she want to do by dressing like this?

Ruhua tied her hair into a big braid today. She looked older than the empress dowager, but she tried to act like a cute girl. She also tied a bow made of a ribbon on her collar, which looked out of place.

Under normal circumstances, the eunuchs and guards at the gate would have dragged Ruhua away, but now that Ruhua was pregnant, they did not dare to touch her. Who knew what was going on in Ruhua's mind? If her child suddenly died, would she blame herself?

The concubines had not yet left. When they heard the noise outside, some of them looked outside curiously.

The emperor also heard the noise outside. He said in a cold voice, "Who is making a noise outside?"

Su Peisheng knew that the emperor was angry, but because so many Eight Banners women were present, the emperor resisted the urge to throw the thing in his hand.

He quickly ran outside, only to hear Ruhua rushing in regardless.

"I want to see my uncle and aunt. Please let me in. I am Qingying, a noble daughter of the Ulanara clan. I am here today to participate in the selection of the crown prince."

After hearing this, Su Peisheng rubbed his ears in disbelief. After making sure that what he heard was true, Su Peisheng almost fell to the ground.

If I agree, wouldn’t I be crazy?

She has already been promised by the Emperor and is pregnant with the Emperor's child, yet she still comes to participate in the Prince's selection?

What? Can you be the emperor's concubine whenever you want or not whenever you want?

When she wanted to be a concubine, she would call herself "this palace". When she didn't want to be a concubine, she would call them "uncle" and "aunt". This...

If this matter gets out, the royal family will lose all face.

Su Peisheng quickly gave a look, indicating that the palace maids and eunuchs must persuade Ru Ying to leave no matter what. Even if she wanted to make trouble, she couldn't do it at this time.

But Ruhua refused to listen and refused to leave, even acting like she was throwing a tantrum.

"Your humble servant, Qingying of the Ulanara clan, requests an audience with the Emperor, the Empress, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ruhua shouted at the top of her lungs.

The well-informed concubines at home had already guessed who was shouting outside, and they couldn't help but cast mocking glances at the selected Ulanara Yutang and Mingzhen.

This time, not only the emperor, but also Yixiu and the empress dowager had very cold expressions on their faces.

The emperor gritted his teeth and whispered a few words in Yixiu's ear, and Yixiu quickly gave Jianqiu a wink.

Jianqiu left in a hurry, and soon the noisy sounds outside disappeared.

The words that the emperor whispered in Yixiu's ear were, "We must take Ruhua away no matter what the cost."

Even if she loses the baby in her belly, she cannot lose the reputation of the royal family.

Except for the two concubines, the other four concubines moved directly to the prince's East Palace tonight.

Yixiu didn't know whether Fucha was deliberately trying to compete with Tonggiya, but the two concubines chose to enter the palace on the same day.

Gyeongin Palace

While letting Jianqiu rub her temples, Yixiu asked the Crown Prince, "How do you feel about the Emperor giving you the Fucha family today?"

The prince lowered his head, his tone lacking any emotion, and even carrying a hint of indifference.

"The Emperor probably sensed Longkodo's subtle intentions, so he instructed Fucha to deliberately challenge him to a duel, in order to teach Longkodo a lesson."

After hearing this, Yixiu looked up in surprise. It was not because the prince's analysis was wrong, but because the prince's analysis was too correct, even so rational that it was a little scary.

Isn’t it said that the prince fell in love with the woman from the Tonggiya clan, Tonggiya Suyue?

But looking at the prince's attitude today, it seems that he is cruel to Tonggiya!

Yixiu herself had never received any true love in her life. She also knew that the royal family was cold and indifferent. An emperor would never have love. Even if he did, it would only be some expectation of love.

But as a mother, she did not want her son to become an emotionless power machine. There have been emperors and empresses who have shared the same ideals in history. Although this is extremely rare, she selfishly hoped that her son would be like this.

Yixiu stared at the Crown Prince and asked slowly, "Could it be that you have absolutely no interest in Tong Jia? Or are you just trying to deceive Longkodo?"

The Crown Prince asked, somewhat puzzled, "What does the Empress Dowager mean by this? When did I ever deceive Longkodo? When Tong Jia Gege and I were chatting, I secretly warned her that even if she entered the Eastern Palace, she could only be a concubine."

Yixiu finally realized that it was all a misunderstanding. She nodded and sighed softly.

"So that's how it is. Your uncle is really something. He insisted on telling Mother that he had a crush on a girl from the Tonggiya clan, which made Mother very worried. But Honghui, you're already so old, don't you have a girl you like?"

When people are young, they admire their parents' knowledge; when they are lustful, they admire young girls.

When the emperor was as old as the crown prince, he already had concubines and side wives.

The prince felt guilty for some reason, because when Yixiu asked him questions, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and that was Zhou Xiuniang.

But this bold idea frightened the prince. Could he really be a homosexual?

The Manchus hated these things the most. If he, as the crown prince of the dynasty, had this habit, not to mention the emperor, even the royal family members would spit at him and kill him.
