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

Forbidden City Jingren Palace

"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and may Her Majesty live a thousand years."

The prince's concubines knelt on the ground in pairs, performing the ritual of three kneelings and nine kowtows to Yi Xiu.

Today was the first time they came to Jingren Palace to pay a visit to the Queen as concubines of the Crown Prince. The four of them were dressed very formally.

Yixiu smiled slightly, without acting like a mother-in-law or queen. She raised her hand and said with a smile:

"Everyone get up!"

"Thank you, Queen."

Given their status, it was not convenient for them to sit in front of Yixiu, so they all stood aside.

Yixiu smiled and said, "I called you here today not for any other reason, but just to have a chat. Please be casual."

Yu Gege stood obediently on Yixiu's left, her beautiful eyes slightly raised, and her pair of misty autumn pupils made her look even more unparalleled.

Her tone was very respectful, yet with a hint of youthful playfulness, she said:

"It is my honor to receive the Queen's teachings. I am so happy in my heart."

Yixiu looked up and down at Yu Gege's pretty face, and couldn't help but sigh that beauty fades quickly, and she would soon become a nanny in the blink of an eye.

Ming Gege also said: "The Queen is my elder. I will naturally remember what the Queen said in my heart and never forget it."

"You must serve the Crown Prince well in the future and have children for him as soon as possible. However, where there are many women, there are many disputes. I was also at your age, and jealousy between women is common. But everything should be done in moderation. Too much is as bad as too little."

The relationship between Ming Gege and Yu Gege began to become secretly confrontational in front of him. If they were not in front of him, it was not certain how they would fight in private.

Although Yixiu knew that this was inevitable, she still gave the two of them a warning.

The two men were also smart people and understood the meaning of Yixiu's words.

Princess Yu smiled coquettishly, pretending to be calm and as if nothing had happened.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. The sisters in the backyard all get along very well. There will definitely not be any jealousy. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Ming Gege's red lips curled up into a faint smile, "Sister Yu has always been warm-hearted. She treats me and the other two princesses very warmly. Sister Yu is the most popular person in the entire Eastern Palace. With Sister Yu around, the relationships among the sisters are naturally very harmonious. We would never dare to have any jealousy."

Everyone present could hear Ming Gege's sarcastic tone, except Li Gege, who was a little confused.

But she always kept in mind Nanny Xiang's teachings. When she arrived at the palace, if she encountered something unclear, she would answer nothing.

If you see an unknown dignitary, greet them immediately and try not to respond no matter what they say.

Zhou Gege stood aside, as if these things had nothing to do with her.

Yixiu coughed lightly twice and didn't want to watch the two of them fighting here anymore. It seemed that they didn't intend to take her words seriously. In that case, there was no need to indulge them.

The reason why the two dared to fight openly and secretly in front of Yixiu was that they took advantage of the fact that they were from the Ulanara family and Yixiu would not embarrass them in public.

"You are both good children. Mingzhen and Yutang are daughters of the Ulanara clan. I am also from the Ulanara clan. We Ulanara clan place the greatest emphasis on the moral cultivation of our women. A few days ago, the Empress Dowager said she wanted to drink tea made from the dew on flower petals. I haven't been feeling well these past two days, so please let the two of you go there for me!"

Fighting and bickering here every day is too much time for you. In that case, go and work for me.

Yixiu smiled dignifiedly and sent the two people out without any hesitation.

Now only Li Gege and Zhou Gege were left in the room. Li Gege looked at Ming Gege and Yu Gege with some envy as they left. It would be great if she could go out. Although the Queen looked gentle and generous, she was still a little panicked.

Yixiu didn't want to make things difficult for a little girl like Li Gege, and since she had other things to do, she asked Li Gege to go out and pay her respects to Concubine Qi.

"You finally made it to the palace today, so go and pay your respects to your aunt. Your marriage into the Eastern Palace was thanks to your aunt's words of advice to the Emperor. Don't forget your aunt's kindness."

Yixiu said to Li Gege, while also giving her a beating.

Upon seeing this, Li Gege immediately expressed her gratitude joyfully, "Thank you very much, Queen, for your teachings. I will take my leave now."

In the end, only Yixiu and Zhou Gege were left in the room. Zhou Gege looked calm, but she was actually very panicked.

Yixiu noticed Zhou Gege's tightly clenched fists and smiled.

"Your sister has also come to the palace to pay her respects today. Your sister married Doctor Wen, who is a regular doctor serving me. He happened to come to the palace today, so it's a good opportunity for you sisters to have a chat. Jianqiu, take Lady Zhou to the side hall. Wait for Wen and Zhou to pay their respects, and then let them have a chat."

Jianqiu stood up, smiled, and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "I understand. Please come in, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Gege had no choice but to bow to Yi Xiuxing and leave, and followed Jianqiu to the side hall very nervously.

After the four people left, Zhou Xiu Niang was brought to Jingren Palace by Huichun after a while.

Although it was Zhou Xiuniang's first time to visit the palace, she had been in business for many years and had seen many big scenes, so she did not show any fear.

Along the way, she was even more taciturn, talking less, looking more, and asking more. At the same time, she was not stingy with the money in her hands, and gave silver to every servant who came to pick her up.

Huichun saw this and couldn't help but admire in her heart that Mrs. Zhou was so young, but she knew when to advance and when to retreat, and was sensible about the overall situation.

It’s a pity that Doctor Wen doesn’t have the blessing of having such a good wife.

Huichun brought Zhou Xiuniang all the way to Yixiu's main hall. After she came in, she bowed and said with a smile: "Your servant greets the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health. Madam Zhou has arrived."

Zhou Xiuniang didn't dare to look up, but lowered her eyebrows and bowed deeply to Yi Xiuxing.

"I, Wen Zhou, pay my respects to the Empress. May the Empress be blessed with good health."

No one could find fault with the smooth and flowing movements.

Yixiu said, "No need to be polite, Huichun, please take a seat."

Zhou Xiuniang refused at first, but only dared to sit down when Yixiu asked her to sit down again.

Even when she sat down, she only sat one-third of the chair, and she was very well-behaved.

Yixiu carefully examined Zhou Xiuniang and casually asked, "Speaking of which, your marriage was arranged by me personally. Imperial Physician Wen is truly blessed to have such a wonderful wife like you. If I hadn't arranged the marriage, he might have been able to participate in the imperial selection like your sister."
