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

Wenfu

"This is a divorce agreement. After you and I sign it, there will be no further relationship between us."

Doctor Wen took out the divorce agreement he had prepared in advance and handed it to Zhou Xiuniang.

Zhou Xiuniang took the divorce letter and said sharply, "Doctor Wen is so impatient! He can't even wait for such a short time."

Doctor Wen's expression froze, and he said with a hint of embarrassment, "You'll have to sign it sooner or later. If you don't want to sign it now, forget it."

Zhou Xiuniang put the divorce papers on the table, picked up a pen, signed her name on it, and stamped her fingerprints on it.

"Doctor Wen, although we don't have the same marital bond, we can still say we're parting ways amicably. We'll all be working under the Empress from now on, so we should still take care of each other."

Although I have no romantic feelings for Wen Shichu, from the perspective of a colleague, Wen Shichu is still a good person. I am willing to help Wen Shichu in case I need him in the future.

Wen Shichu already felt a little guilty towards Zhou Xiuniang, and he immediately said, "If you need me in the future, just ask me, and I will definitely help you if I can. It's my fault that I'm sorry, I..."

Zhou Xiuniang stopped him from talking. "Let's not talk about these polite words for now. I still have to prepare to go to Jiangnan. I'll have to trouble you to cover for me at the Wen family during this time."

Doctor Wen was stunned and asked, "What are you doing in Jiangnan?"

But after he finished speaking, he realized that he had said something out of turn. What did it have to do with him where other people went?

"Just go to the Wen family. I will help you keep it a secret from your parents for now."

Hong Zhu walked in and said, "Miss, someone from the East Palace is here."

A strange look flashed across Zhou Xiuniang's eyes, but she quickly hid this emotion.

"Okay, I understand. I think it was Zhou Qingniang who sent someone to ask me to talk. Since I'm free now, let's go!"

Doctor Wen didn't notice anything Zhou Xiuniang said. He smiled and nodded at her, then left tactfully, leaving her space to wash and dress.

East Palace

Zhou Xiuniang was called to a pavilion. The eunuch brought her there and then left, leaving Zhou Xiuniang alone.

Although Zhou Xiuniang felt somewhat helpless, she still found a place to sit down. Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. Since she had no interest in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it was time to talk this matter over with him.

Elsewhere, the prince was also called to the pavilion by Tong Jia, who said that she had something to tell him.

After doing all this, Tong Jia hid in the dark alone. She was still unwilling to believe that the person who seemed so bright and beautiful in her eyes could be a woman who would do anything to seduce the prince.

If today turns out to be what she thought, she will take the opportunity to bring the Crown Prince and Zhou Xiuniang together. Once Zhou Xiuniang enters the East Palace, she will have plenty of ways to deal with her.

Men are all mean-spirited. What they can't get is always the best.

I learned this trick from the current Queen. What good would it do for a woman with a bad reputation to become a concubine in the Eastern Palace even if she is favored by the Crown Prince?

Grace is only temporary, but power is lifelong.

The prince strode towards the pavilion, and he also discovered that the woman in the courtyard was not Tong Jia.

Zhou Xiuniang turned around and saw that it was the prince. She quickly stood up and saluted, saying:

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May His Royal Highness be blessed with good health."

The prince's face lit up with joy, he thought Zhou Xiuniang had figured it out.

The prince took a few steps forward and said gently, "I don't know why you came here today. Have you thought it through? Don't worry, as long as you marry into the East Palace, I will definitely treat you well."

Zhou Xiuniang took a few steps back, knelt on the ground and explained: "I came here today to make things clear with His Royal Highness. It was purely a coincidence that I saved His Royal Highness, and it was fate that brought us together.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince admires me, and he probably also admires my boldness and courage that are different from ordinary women, but all this becomes unruly in the harem.

I am willing to be the sharp sword in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, to be commanded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but I do not wish to be a dodder clinging to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I doubt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like such a concubine."

The prince lowered his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

"Come out! You arranged all this, didn't you?"

Tong Jia Shi did not expect that the prince had discovered her little trick. She quickly came out from the dark and confessed to the prince:

"Please forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't mean to do that. I saw that Your Highness had someone else in mind, so I wanted to help him. I didn't expect that I would end up making things worse."

As soon as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived here, he realized something was wrong, but he was just taking advantage of the situation.

But it was not until this moment that he figured it out. He liked the chivalrous and heroic Zhou Xiuniang, but if she was trapped in this backyard, wouldn't Zhou Xiuniang become a woman like Tong Jia?

"It's good to be smart, but sometimes it's hard to be confused. You should know what to say and what not to say."

The prince said coldly.

Tong Jia knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but her heart was very complicated.

I feel like a clown in Zhou Xiuniang's eyes. I think she has seen through my calculations and looks down on me!

"Come to think of it, you two are old acquaintances. You're the one who invited everyone today, so let's just reminisce about the past!"

After saying this, the prince left, but at this moment he felt more relaxed than ever before.

The prince looked up at the square sky. He didn't know when he was assimilated into this place.

He thought that he was a time traveler different from this world because he opened ports, developed commerce, rectified the administration, and punished corrupt officials, and that he would bring good development to the Qing Dynasty.

But in fact, he only had a little more knowledge than the people here, but his thoughts were gradually assimilated.

Today was the best reminder for him that since he had obtained the imperial power and wealth of the feudal era, how could he expect love in modern society?

At this moment, the prince finally understood what he was thinking. What he wanted to do was to be the greatest emperor of all time. As for the little love affairs, they were just insignificant spice in life.

Tong Jia looked at Zhou Xiuniang with an embarrassed expression. She was about to explain, but Zhou Xiuniang spoke first.

"I may have had a little bit of romantic affection for His Royal Highness. But I know that compared to my dreams, my pursuits, and my life, these feelings are just a tiny bit."

Zhou Xiuniang looked at Tong Jia and said calmly, "Concubine, everyone has their own pursuits. From your perspective, what happened today is also very normal. I don't blame you."
