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

"Look at what Zhou Gege said, it's as if you are not a concubine here, but rather the Crown Princess in the East Palace."

Yu Gege covered her lips with a handkerchief and said sarcastically.

We are all concubines and princesses, and we all have gods behind us. We are just concubines serving His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Why do we have to act like the legitimate wife all day long?

A dark figure flashed across Zhou Gege's eyes. She twisted her handkerchief tightly but said nothing.

Ming Gege smiled and said, "Zhou Gege is honest, sister, please don't bully me all the time."

Princess Yu rolled her eyes. If it weren't for the words of the Empress Dowager and the Empress, she would not have bothered to argue with Princess Ming. She just left with her personal maid.

Although Ming Gege spoke for Zhou Gege, she actually looked down on Zhou Gege in her heart.

Her reason was the same as Yu Gege's. They were both concubines, but they acted like the legal wife all day long.

"I heard that Li Gege's pastries are excellent and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves them the most. I wonder if Li Gege can teach me?"

Ming Gege walked towards Li Gege with a smile.

Li Gege nodded sweetly, "Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has gifted us some Longjing tea powder today. We can make it and send it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ming Gege couldn't hide her smile. She took Li Gege's hand affectionately and said with a smile:

"Then let's leave quickly, sister. Once the two concubines arrive tonight, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will be busy, and it's not convenient for us to disturb His Highness at that time."

After a while, the three of them left, leaving Zhou Gege standing there in a daze, feeling angry.

"Gege..."

Baohuan whispered.

Zhou Gege snorted coldly, "Go back, she's just a concubine. The concubine will be coming in soon, so we should not be here to bother her."

The East Palace is very lively tonight. The prince did not marry a principal wife, but two concubines.

If there is no suitable candidate for the Crown Princess in the future, the Crown Prince's wife may be chosen from these two concubines.

Today, Longkodo is planning to suppress the Fucha family. Although he is aware that his actions have aroused the emperor's fear and the empress dowager's anger, for the sake of his granddaughter's position in the Eastern Palace, Longkodo can only do it even though he knows it is impossible.

At the banquet, he kept toasting the prince and pretending to be very friendly with him.

The prince did not refuse, and the two of them drank affectionately. If you didn't know, you would have thought that Longkodo's granddaughter had married the prince as his principal wife.

The people in the Fucha family rolled their eyes. The young Fucha Fu Hengheng even said, "The prince is marrying a concubine, and he's jumping around here, dressed like a groom."

Fucha Li Rongbao scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense, kid."

Fucha Fuheng snorted and muttered to himself, "At such an old age, drinking so much alcohol so late at night, aren't you afraid that you won't wake up the next day if you're not careful?"

Fu Cha and Fu Qing were not very happy either. Today, the daughter of their Fu Cha family and the daughter of Tong Jia were married into the Eastern Palace together, but looking at Longkodo's attitude, it seemed that he was determined to suppress their family.

Who can be happy if something like this happens?

But his younger brother's words were too vicious, and he secretly helped Fu Cha Fu Heng.

"Some things are better left unsaid. Who can predict anything in this world? As the saying goes, when water is full, it will wane; when the moon is full, it will overflow. The higher your position, the more cautious and diligent you should be. Otherwise, you will fall hard."

Fu Cha Fu Heng also realized that he had spoken out of turn, but he really couldn't bear to see his sister being wronged, so he secretly vowed to work hard in the future, carry forward the Fu Cha family, and become his sister's support.

The prince was already drunk, and the people below helped him to rest and asked:

"Your Highness, where are we going today?"

The prince twitched his lips and sneered, "Where to go is up to me? To Tong Jia's place?"

Tongjia Courtyard

"Concubine, the prince is here with us."

Tong Jia's maid Xi Que saw the prince rushing over early, so she ran into the room quickly and said to Tong Jia.

Tong Jia Shi didn't take it seriously, she just sighed softly, "Marrying into the Eastern Palace now is no longer the same as being at home, you should be more prudent in your actions in the future."

Xi Que said "Oh". Why did she feel that her concubine seemed unhappy?

The prince was helped in. He was so drunk that he almost collapsed on the ground. He couldn't remove his veil and couldn't perform the Zhougong ceremony.

Tong Jia was relieved. She asked everyone to leave first, then she took Xi Que and carried the prince to the bed, and asked someone to fetch water for the prince to wash.

"Chen Zhi...you lied to me...Zhou Xiuniang...Zhou Xiuniang..."

The prince kept mumbling to himself, and Xi Que was cleaning up beside him. After listening for a while, he couldn't help but ask Tong Jia:

"Concubine, whose name does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seem to be calling?"

Tong Jia was also a little curious, so she moved closer to the prince, wanting to hear who he had been talking about on the night of his wedding.

"Chen Zhixing... Zhou Xiuniang... lied to me... all of them. I'm the crown prince, do you hate me so much?"

Tong Jia's face changed. At this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her pretty face. Her nails were deeply embedded in her flesh, and blood was flowing out, but she didn't feel it at all.

The magpie was frightened. She whispered, "Concubine...Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

When Tong Jia heard the magpie's call, she woke up as if from a dream and struggled to get up. She grabbed the magpie, her eyes a little red.

"Send someone to investigate a woman named Zhou Xiuniang. She must have met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recently. Have someone draw a portrait of that woman and send it to me."

Xi Que thought that Tong Jia was worried that the prince had someone else in his heart, which was why she was so angry.

She advised, "Concubine Fu Jin, don't worry too much. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is of noble status. Judging from the name, she is just a Han Chinese woman. It's not good enough for her to marry into the Eastern Palace as a concubine—"

Tong Jia's face instantly turned cold, and she angrily said, "Shut up, what do you know? Go check it out if I tell you to. Hurry up, I want to know who she is in the shortest possible time."

The prince was lying on the bed, still talking drunkenly, but Tong Jia had no intention of sleeping. She sat blankly on the chair, looking at the red sky in the room, with a bitter smile on the corner of her lips.

The magpie advised Tong Jia several times to go and rest.

But Tong Jia insisted on waiting for the news, so Xi Que had no choice but to order people to investigate the matter quickly, and it would be best to find out the truth before tomorrow morning.

In order to make it easier for Tong Jia to compete for favor in the Eastern Palace, Longkodo gave her a lot of connections and power, and Zhou Xiuniang's identity was no secret.

Before dawn, his men handed Zhou Xiuniang's portrait and information about her identity to Xi Que.
