The eldest sister was reborn and the younger sister traveled through time. I just want to survive.

In her previous life, after Concubine Qin was punished for theft on the spot by Emperor Yuanjing, there was no follow-up, just like a stone falling straight into the lake without making much splash.

But once the stone sinks to the bottom, it is equally difficult to float up on its own or be fished out by someone.

In her previous life, Concubine Qin was not under house arrest for a long time. She appeared in public at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, and the theft did not seem to have much impact on her.

Yan Muqing only had a superficial understanding of the concubines in the harem. Yan Muxi couldn't find out what he really wanted to know, so the next day he ordered Dong Yu to go out of the house and go to the information gathering place in Luodu City to inquire about the promotion of Concubine Qin.

It was learned from the inquiries that Concubine Qin was born a palace maid, two years older than Emperor Yuanjing. Due to her timid and dull character, she had been doing the heaviest washing work in the laundry department for more than ten years since she entered the palace.

Because of Emperor Yuanjing's drunkenness, Concubine Qin was unexpectedly favored due to her ordinary beauty. Later, she was given the lowest rank of dresser, and suddenly became the master of the harem from a palace maid.

It was only that time, and Emperor Yuanjing didn't pay attention to Concubine Qin for a long time afterwards. Therefore, Concubine Qin's unexpected favor and reward did not attract the attention of the concubines in the harem.

When we learned that Concubine Qin came from a peasant family and all her relatives died when she fled famine at a young age, she was a poor and lonely person without the support of her maternal family, and no one paid any attention to her.

But such a low-ranking maid who was looked down upon by everyone was valued by Concubine Shu, and soon gave birth to the third prince.

Shufei is the legitimate daughter of the Hua family. Her appearance, family background and talent are not inferior to those of Empress Xue. She is favored by the emperor all the time, but she has not been able to conceive a child after entering the palace for many years.

At first, all the concubines thought that Concubine Shu was infertile and protected Concubine Qin for the sake of the child in her belly.

But later, Concubine Shu did not do anything to kill the mother and keep the child. Instead, after Concubine Qin gave birth to the third prince, she persuaded the emperor to promote her position, and the child was raised by both of them.

Low-ranking concubines were not qualified to raise the prince. Although the third prince seemed to be registered under the name of Concubine Shu, it was actually his biological mother, Concubine Qin, who raised him.

It was also because of this that the harem of the previous dynasty did not recognize the identity of the third prince. Coupled with the emperor's deliberate indifference, the third prince became the least visible prince in Dafeng.

Concubine Qin's background is not decent enough, and the Third Prince is not favored by the Emperor, so he has no qualifications to compete for the throne... Everything seems reasonable, but Yan Muxi feels that many things are unreasonable.

Emperor Yuanjing was in his prime, and he was a thoughtful emperor, so he would certainly not put his preferred heir on the table so early. If he really disliked Concubine Qin as rumored, how could Concubine Qin give birth to the fifth princess after giving birth to the third prince?

Furthermore, the incense beads that were obtained before Concubine Li proved that the Third Prince and his mother were not as unpopular with the Emperor as rumored.

Moreover, Emperor Yuanjing allowed Prince Rui's faction to seize power in a very likely manner, in order to keep them in a state of balance and opposition with the prince's faction. Otherwise, the prince would have the support of upright scholars, and Marquis Weiyuan, a military man alone, would not be able to compete with him.

All in all, the third prince is definitely qualified to be the crown prince, so you can try to bet on him.

On the last day of June, there was considerable turmoil in the court and the harem.

Concubine Li was demoted to Concubine Li, and Marquis Weiyuan was publicly reprimanded by Emperor Yuanjing and punished to kneel under the scorching sun until he fainted and was carried out of the palace.

Since Emperor Yuanjing ascended the throne, Concubine Li and Marquis Weiyuan have always been favored by the emperor and have never been subjected to such criticism.

Everyone said that Concubine Li and Marquis Weiyuan suffered this disaster because they offended Prince Rong.

For a time, the already unattainable Prince Rong's Mansion became an existence that everyone was intimidated by and kept their distance from.

Yan Muxi, who saw the whole cause and effect of the incident, pondered for a long time.

Was it really because of Yu Wantai that Emperor Yuan Jingdi dealt with Concubine Li and the Weiyuan Marquisate? I'm afraid that the Rong Prince's Mansion was pushed out by the emperor as a living target.

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-July, and a rainstorm washed away the heat that had lasted for half a month.

Early in the morning, Minghui came with her bag to say goodbye to Yan Muxi.

"Aunt Ming, can you really bear to see your sweetheart sad?" Yan Muxi hugged the man and the bundle tightly.

Minghui answered without hesitation, "How can you bear it? Let go, I'm just going to stay at Dingbei Marquis's Mansion for a few days, it's not like I won't be back!"

How could the little girl be reluctant to part with her? She was clearly reluctant to part with the precious pill in her hand.

In half a year, the girl had already extorted a lot of good things from her, and she wished she could just scrape a piece of her flesh off.

Minghui's boxing and kicking skills are quite good, and Yan Muxi was afraid that she would run away if she couldn't hold on to her, so she simply used her hands and feet to hang on to her and refused to get down.

"If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. How can Aunt Ming abandon your beloved disciple? Your beloved can't bear to leave you..."

Dongyu on the side couldn't help shivering. If her young lady wasn't so good-looking, she would have wanted to go up and hit someone.

Yinxia narrowed her eyes and smiled. Only in front of the elders she was really close to would a young lady show her true character. Although it was a bit annoying, she still felt that she could still endure it.

As expected, Minghui compromised again this time. She reluctantly took out a white porcelain bottle from her bag.

As soon as the porcelain bottle was taken out, it was snatched away by the little bandit hanging on his body. Yan Muxi shook the bottle next to his ear and asked, "What's inside? How do I use it?"

Minghui said unhappily, "If you take one of these blood-generating pills when you are seriously injured, it can save your life for a few more days. I worked hard to make just a few of them, so use them sparingly."

Blood-generating pills? It sounds good, but Yan Muxi feels that it is not very useful, and continues to glance into the bag.

Minghui simply stuffed the bag into her hands and said, "I'll give it all to you. Find whatever you like."

"Aunt Ming, what are you saying? Am I after your things? I can't bear to part with you." Yan Muxi jumped off Minghui swiftly, untied the bag and started to select things carefully, muttering to himself.

"Aunt Ming, tell me the truth. Did you secretly give all the things to your beloved disciple? Although the master and disciple have a close relationship, I can't forget your beloved... The third brother is unreliable at first glance. When you are old, you still have to rely on me. Aunt Ming, you have to distinguish between relatives and strangers..."

Minghui really wanted to go up and sew up the little mouth that kept chattering. How could she be so annoying when she had such a lovely face?

Even though I can't see it for a while, I still miss it so much that I start thinking about it before we even separate.

After sending Minghui out of the house, Dongyu asked in confusion, "Young lady, you have already accumulated several boxes of bottles and jars. Young lady is not a doctor, why do you have so many pills?"

"The day of entering Prince Rong's Mansion is getting closer, so we have to prepare some more self-defense items to save our lives!"

"Miss, you are marrying into the Rong Palace. If you don't know, you might think you are going to jump into the fire pit!"

Yan Muxi glanced at Dong Yu and sighed softly.

Alas! What is the difference between entering Prince Rong's Mansion and jumping into a fire pit? There is no choice, you have to jump.

At that time, servants were coming in and out of the Huokeng Rong Wang Mansion, and craftsmen were working bustlingly, creating a rare bustle that had been seen in many years.

Jixiang asked with a bitter face, "Master, what are you thinking? Chunhuayuan has been under construction for several months and is almost finished. Why do you want to move the wedding room to Nianyin Pavilion?"
