Top white, rich and beautiful, the princess is reborn and the revenge story

Concubine Hui returned to the inner chamber. Zhao Baozhu was in a rage. Her face was covered in a thick layer of green ointment, making her look ugly and ridiculous. "Mother, it hurts so much!"

Concubine Hui cursed, "I'll make you die of pain! You didn't do it right last time, and now you've gotten yourself into trouble too!"

"Mother, don't blame me. It's all because Zhao Yuanqing was too cunning. I didn't try to pull her away, but she pulled me into the water instead!

Zhao Baozhu told Concubine Hui about the situation at that time. Concubine Hui knew as soon as she heard it that Zhao Yuanqing had seen through Zhao Baozhu's plan and simply took advantage of the situation to outmaneuver her.

Now that things have come to this, we can only plan for the future. The biggest problem now is that Cui Hao was originally meant for Zhao Yuanqing, but now he is tied to Zhao Baozhu. This is bad. Cui Hao is a commoner with no official position, and Concubine Hui doesn't like him at all.

"Everyone saw you and Cui Hao hugging each other today. What were you thinking? Are you really going to marry him?"

Zhao Baozhu's face was a little hot. "Mother, if not him, who else can I marry? So many people saw us hugging each other, my reputation would be ruined."

Concubine Hui sneered, "Reputation is a thing that restrains incompetent people. Baozhu, you are the princess of Daqing. No one can force you to marry Cui Hao, let alone just hugging him for a while, even if you sleep in the same bed with him!"

Zhao Baozhu asked doubtfully, "But mother, didn't you say that letting Zhao Yuanqing sleep in the same bed with a man would ruin her reputation? If I hugged Cui Hao, wouldn't my reputation be ruined too?"

Concubine Hui sneered and poked her forehead, "Silly girl, that was a deliberate trap set for Zhao Yuanqing. First, let her sleep with a man, and then fabricate rumors about her to create momentum. The Queen and the Crown Prince will be embarrassed. In order to silence Youyou, they have to do what we planned.

But you are my daughter, and I will never be like the Queen, being pushed into doing things by the gossip of others. As for Cui Hao, if you want to marry him, then marry him. If you don’t want to marry him, then don’t bother with him.”

Zhao Baozhu whispered, "Mother, I want to marry. Mr. Cui is a good man, he is good-looking, and the Cui family has a good reputation."

Concubine Hui was unwilling. "You are still too young and haven't seen the world. Good looks are nothing. There are many who are better looking than Cui Hao. As for the Cui family's reputation, it's just a reputation for fame. They don't have high officials in the court, nor do they have a huge fortune. They want to have a good reputation in the court, so they can only put on airs and create a good reputation for themselves to attract noble ladies like you. And Cui Hao's mother, she comes from a humble family and is extremely difficult to get along with. In short, the Cui family is not a good match."

Zhao Baozhu was unhappy. "Mother, in the past, in order to match Mr. Cui and Zhao Yuanqing, you praised the Cui family so highly. Now you are belittling them so much. I think you just don't want me to marry Mr. Cui, and you are deliberately discrediting them!"

Concubine Hui scolded, "You fool! I said that before to fool the Queen and her daughter. How could you have believed me? Those words were all lies!"

"I don't care. Anyway, I think Mr. Cui is good, so I'm going to marry him! Don't worry about it!"

After saying that, Zhao Baozhu stood up and ran out.

Concubine Hui covered her chest in anger and pointed at her back, cursing, "What a fool! She didn't even know she was sold! How could I have given birth to such an evil creature!"

Her personal maid Hu Ling advised, "Your Majesty, the princess is already obsessed with Cui Hao. If you speak too harshly, the princess will become alienated from you. Wouldn't that push her to the Cui family, which would be even more disadvantageous to you, Your Majesty?"

Concubine Hui sighed, "She's such an extrovert. She's already leaning towards Cui Hao before she even gets married. Forget it, let her marry. I'll protect her, and she won't be bullied by the Cui family. But Cui Hao messed with Zhao Yuanqing before, and now he's messing with Baozhu. He's just greedy for fame and fortune, and definitely not a good match. I really don't want Baozhu to marry such a man."

Hu Ling said, "Your Majesty, who wants Princess Shang without coveting wealth and status? It's unavoidable. As long as Your Majesty protects her, the Cui family won't dare bully her. I'm just worried about the princess getting a facial injury. What if Cui Hao dislikes her?"

Concubine Hui sneered, "He dares? If he dares to despise Baozhu, I will let Baozhu divorce! No, divorce is too easy for him, he must lose his husband! And then keep a few concubines to piss off the Cui family!"

However, you do have a point. Baozhu's face is a serious injury, so let's call Cui Hao. Call Doctor Zhou."

"Yes."

After a while, Doctor Zhou came and bowed, "Your Majesty."

"Doctor Zhou, I have a request for you."

"Mother, please tell me."

"I hope Cui Hao's leg never heals, or even worse, becomes paralyzed. Do you understand what I mean?"

Doctor Zhou shuddered, lowered his head and said, "This old minister understands."

"Haha, Doctor Zhou, I'll leave this matter to you. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

"Old minister, I know."

Concubine Hui gave a wink, and Hu Ling brought some rewards and asked Doctor Zhou to put them in his pocket and leave.

Doctor Zhou carried the medicine box out of the palace and sighed. Cui Hao was so happy to become a prince consort, but Concubine Hui wanted to make him a cripple. The people in the palace had different brains from ordinary people. This doctor was really not a human being!

After Doctor Zhou left, Concubine Hui said to Hu Ling, "We've failed again this time. I'm sure my father has already heard about it. Please send a message and ask my mother to come over when she can."

"Yes, ma'am."

There are five power groups in the Daqing Kingdom: the royal family, the aristocratic families, the civil service group, the military group, and the invisible vassal state, which is the Jiedushi stationed on the border.

Cui Hao and Crown Princess Lu Ruoyi both come from aristocratic families.

The queen's mother's family belonged to the military officer group, and her father, the Marquis of Zhenbei, also served as the governor, belonging to the first echelon of the military officer group.

Huifei's maternal family belonged to the civil service group. Huifei's father, Yao Jiang, served as Shangshu You Pushe, a second-rank official, who assisted Shangshu Ling in managing the Secretariat. He was considered a deputy prime minister and a veritable powerful figure, belonging to the second echelon of the civil service group.

In addition to Princess Zhao Baozhu, Concubine Hui also had the third prince Zhao Yu. She had both a son and a daughter, her mother's family was powerful, and she was considerate, so she was very much favored by the emperor.

Anyone who gave birth to a son in the palace would covet that position, and Concubine Hui was no exception. If she could dethrone the crown prince and let her son ascend the throne, the fate of her descendants would be completely different.

Therefore, when her father told her about the plan, Concubine Hui agreed without hesitation. The Marquis of Zhenbei had soldiers in his hands, and the Queen and the Crown Prince were shrewd, so it would be difficult for them to take action. So they could start with the weakest Zhao Yuanqing, and use Zhao Yuanqing to pry open the Queen and the Crown Prince, and they would definitely be able to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Concubine Hui was originally very confident, but she did not expect that the plan failed twice in a row, and Zhao Baozhu was also lost. Concubine Hui was anxious and hoped that her father could give some advice on what to do next.

After the You Pushe Mansion received Hu Ling's letter, Yao Jiang went out to visit a few people and had a secret conversation with his wife, Mrs. Lu. On the third day, he submitted a letter requesting to see Concubine Hui.
