Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

In the afternoon, Hongchang was sent back.

Although Qi Yuebin was reluctant, she thought that she was still young after all. Hongchang was a child with limited talent. Although she had such a child, Yinzhen did not come to visit her often.

Now, she returned the child to Rouze and focused all her attention on Yinzhen. Maybe she will have her own child soon.

Not too sad though.

Having not seen Hongchang for two years, Rouze could not control her emotions when she saw him. She wanted to pounce on him immediately and call him her darling.

She didn't seem to notice that when Hongchang saw her, she subconsciously avoided him.

At this moment, Rouze was thinking about taking Hongchang to attend the banquet tomorrow.

At the palace banquet, Kangxi saw Hongchang, but he pretended not to see him.

He raised his glass and said, "Today is a family dinner, so don't be restrained. Now that Xinghui is back, the disaster relief work has been completely dealt with. Fei Yanggu, I want to thank you for raising a pair of good children for our Qing Dynasty."

Fei Yanggu quickly stood up to thank him, picked up the wine glass and was about to drink.

"Ouch." Fei Yanggu frowned just as the wine glass was brought to his mouth. He felt a sharp pain and looked down. He saw Hongchang had jumped on the sole of his right foot, looking up at him innocently.

Seeing Fei Yanggu lower his head, Hongchang smiled, stepped off his boots, and prepared to dance again.

Fei Yanggu's eyebrows twitched and he looked at Fang Luo behind him. Fang Luo was making gestures to apologize, probably meaning that she really couldn't stop the little prince.

Hongchang is now five years old and has learned to talk and walk. He no longer needs to be held in Rouze's arms at the banquet. Instead, he sits at a small table by himself and is taken care of by Fangluo.

"What's wrong?" Kangxi, who was sitting at the top seat and couldn't see clearly, asked Fei Yanggu.

Fei Yanggu hurriedly said, "I'm fine." After drinking the wine and sitting down, Fei Yanggu couldn't help feeling pity for Hongchang.

Rouze, who was standing by, had already picked up Hongchang and said, "This child was separated from his biological mother at a young age. Now he is finally back with his biological mother. God has a good will."

Rouze handed Hongchang to Fei Yanggu's arms and said, "This child is also the grandson of the Ulanala family. Father, please take this opportunity to take a closer look at him. He is naturally as smart and clever as Xinghui was when he was a child. Father, do you want to hold him?"

"Smart and clever?" Fei Yanggu remembered that there was clear news from the palace before, saying that Hongchang's illness had not been cured, leaving a root cause of the disease affecting his brain. Could it be that he remembered it wrong because he was old?

But after all, he was his grandson, so Fei Yanggu didn't think much about it and took the child into his arms.

As a result, a burst of damp heat came from his arms, soaking the patch on his official uniform thoroughly.

Fei Yanggu's face turned pale immediately. He had so many children, but none of them dared to pee in his arms.

This Hongchang was so good that he not only urinated in his arms, but also did it in front of Emperor Kangxi's celebration banquet.

Fei Yanggu didn't care about anything else and hurriedly covered that area and Hongchang together, for fear that some bad smell would come out and be smelled by Kangxi.

Looking at Xinghui, a handsome man opposite him who has made many contributions in recent years, Fei Yanggu cursed Rouze in his heart. Which eye was blind that made him think that Hongchang and Xinghui were alike?

After the banquet, Kangxi wanted to discuss some matters, so the female members of the family had to go to the harem and wait for a while.

Yixiu didn't think much about it and went straight to Defei's Yonghe Palace. However, when Defei saw that Rouze didn't follow her, she ordered Zhuxi to look for her, only to find out that Rouze had been invited to visit Concubine Yi's palace.

Concubine De frowned, "Why was Rouze asked to leave by Concubine Yi? Concubine Yi has never had much contact with our Yonghe Palace. Why is she so generous today?"

It's not just that they don't have much contact with each other, there will be a huge hatred between them in the future.

According to Yixiu's observations these days, the eighth prince Yinsi still has a chance to make friends with Yinzhen, but the ninth prince Yin'er is truly on the road to becoming Seshei, and nothing can stop him.

---------------

In Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi was warmly entertaining Rouze.

A decent smile appeared on the face that had been carefully maintained for many years, almost completely concealing the shrewdness and calculation.

Concubine Yi asked, "I haven't seen the Fourth Lady for a long time. Is everything going well?"

The words of "Fourth Lady" were greatly useful to Rou.

She felt very happy, thinking that her aunt, Concubine De, had been deceived by that little bitch, Yixiu. But there were some empresses in the harem who had clear eyes and minds, and knew who between her and Yixiu should be the wife in charge of the Prince's mansion.

But he was still humble: "Your Highness, you are joking. I am only the concubine of the mansion. My concubine's sister Yixiu is the legitimate wife of the mansion."

"Hey, what does a temporary position matter?" Concubine Yi waved her hand and said, "In this life, we women have to rely on our children to gain status. If the child has a promising future, why worry about not having a happy day?"

After looking Rouze up and down, Concubine Yi said, "I think Fu Jin is in good health. I also heard that Fu Jin has been practicing dancing since she was a child, so she has a good foundation. She is destined to have many children and good fortune."

At least for now, no one is more qualified to say such words than Concubine Yi.

After all, she is now the most favored one in the harem because of her many children and good fortune. Especially after the death of the late queen and Noble Concubine Wenxi, Concubine Yi has gradually taken care of the affairs in the harem, and she is showing signs of becoming the vice-queen.

As soon as these words came out, Rouze's eyes really lit up immediately, and she couldn't help but asked proudly, "Are you serious?"

Thinking that she still had to pretend to be reserved in front of the noble, she quickly lowered her head and smiled, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I only hope to do my best to do my job well."

Concubine Yi did not expose it either.

She summoned Rouze today, of course she had her purpose.

In addition to confirming whether Yinzhen's family suspected that she had instigated Hongxi to push Hongchang into the water, she also noticed that Emperor Kangxi seemed to have gradually paid more attention to Concubine De in Yonghe Palace in recent days.

Concubine De had been living quietly in the palace for half her life, but now that Kangxi remembered her again, she had to be on guard.

Although she sent people to Yonghe Palace to gather information, all the people she sent in were sent by Zhuxi to do rough work in the yard. What useful information could they hear?

Before meeting Rouze, the person she wanted to find the most was actually Yixiu.

However, before she had the chance to invite the person to Yikun Palace, Yixiu found an excuse to get away.

After all, Rouze was the niece of Concubine De, and she married Yinzhen and had a child, so she could always find out some information.

Concubine Yi's eyes turned and she spoke again:

"I and Concubine De entered the palace at the same time. Now seeing that you all have your own children, I feel both sad and relieved. However, we are all old now. Alas, we don't move around as much as we did when we were young."

When she was moved, Concubine Yi opened her arms towards Hongchang and said, "Come, let me hold your baby. I have held too many royal children in my hands."

Rouze was overjoyed and handed Hongchang to Concubine Yi's arms.

Ever since Hongchang fell ill, few people have been so enthusiastic towards him.

It was a rare opportunity that she met someone who liked Hongchang. She was so happy that she looked at Hongchang in his arms with great anticipation.

As a mother, she really hoped that Hongchang would be valued by the nobles.

Although Hongchang is five years old now, due to brain damage, his behavior is still as childish and uncontrollable as that of a one or two year old child, but his strength and size are almost the same as those of his peers.

He was not lying still in Concubine Yi's arms, looking around, as if there was a string dangling in front of him, and he was very curious.

As he stood up, his head hit Concubine Yi's chin directly, and then he reached out and pulled off the tassels hanging from Concubine Yi's headband.

"Ouch!" Concubine Yi cried out in pain. Just as she rubbed her chin with her left hand, her right hand had to protect her hair again. She gasped in pain and her eyes suddenly turned red. It was not that she wanted to cry, but her body was in pain and tears flowed naturally.

"Hongchang!" Rouze took a few steps forward. Since Concubine Yi had let go of both of her hands, the child in her arms would naturally fall.

Although Rouze knew that she should apologize to Concubine Yi, as a mother she still loved her child, and her first reaction was to protect Hongchang first.

"cluck"

Hongchang didn't need any protection at all. Although he was mentally handicapped, he was nimble on both legs. Although he staggered for a moment, he quickly stood firm and laughed happily at the sight of Concubine Yi's flustered look.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Yi." Seeing that her son was fine, Rouze still carefully left Hongchang behind her, knelt on the ground and said, "Hongchang is still young, and his reckless behavior is all due to my inadequate teaching. Please punish me, Concubine Yi."

Rouze's plea was not wrong at all.

During the days that Hongchang returned to Longjing Pavilion, he would occasionally play tricks on the servants.

However, Rouze not only did not stop it, but instead scolded the servants for not taking good care of Hongchang.

Everyone was angry but dared not say anything, they could only carefully avoid this "little bully".

Concubine Yi looked unhappy, but Rouze was invited by herself, so she couldn't punish her. She could only endure it in her heart and waved her hand, saying, "Forget it, Concubine Shu, please get up. I am not injured. Children are naughty, and Concubine Shu, as their mother, should teach them more in the future."

In a flash, the title used by Concubine Yi changed from Fourth Lady to Concubine Shu.

Being gentle will make one feel bitter in the heart, but at this time, how can one be distracted and care about the name that is spoken?

She thanked him profusely.

Concubine Yi continued, "Fortunately, the Fourth Prince is blessed. Although Hongchang is still at a mischievous age, I heard that the eldest son Honghui has already invited a teacher to teach him in the mansion. I think he will be able to take care of his younger brother more in the future."

"Your Majesty is right." Rouze looked down and said this with almost gritted teeth: "When I return, I will also teach Hongchang well."

After thinking about it, Rouze added another sentence.

As expected, he is still young and gets anxious when someone says something bad about his son.

The smile on Concubine Yi's face deepened, and fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes. "Hurry up and sit down. It's just a small matter. Why be so restrained?"

"Speaking of enlightenment, I suddenly remembered that when Lao Jiu was studying, in addition to the palace tutor, I also occasionally asked some great scholars in the wild to give him guidance, which was quite helpful. If Hong Chang needs it in the future, I am also happy to recommend him."

This time, Rouze only dared to sit next to the chair, being looked down upon by Concubine Yi. She felt very uneasy in her heart, and did not have any of the excitement she had when she first entered the Yikun Palace.

-----------------

It was early spring at this time, and the wind started to blow again in the capital. Even in the Forbidden City, which was filled with gold and jade, there was no way to stop the wind and sand.

The aunt beside Concubine Yi bowed and ordered the little palace maid standing beside her to close the doors and windows tightly.

Unexpectedly, Rouze got up first and closed the doors and windows. Not only did she close the doors and windows, she also took out the handkerchief she brought with her and wiped the inside of the door frame carefully, saying:

"The sandstorm is coming. Since I am lucky enough to make friends with you, I may be able to protect you from the wind and rain in the future."

Concubine Yi looked at Rouze with satisfaction and said, "Fujin is very ambitious. The gate of my Yikun Palace also welcomes Fujin."

Before returning home, Rouze and others naturally had to say goodbye to Fei Yanggu and Xinghui at the palace gate.

At this time, Fei Yanggu was already in a place where no one was around, and had changed his underwear into new ones.

However, what he was wearing was the clothes of a young eunuch, and the fabric was rough, so Fei Yanggu felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Xinghui still entertaining Yinzhen, he pulled Rouze aside and lowered his voice and said, "Is Hongchang's illness so serious? He's such a big kid, but he can't control it..."

Children of royal families are naturally precocious. Fei Yanggu remembers that Xinghui and Honghui could already read some simple articles at that time.

Fei Yanggu kindly advised: "Honghui is about to start learning at this age, and you need to make careful plans for Hongchang at his current age."

If she had heard such words in the past, even if Rouze was impatient in her heart, she would always respond in a nice tone and say something like she would find a way.

But Hongchang had just caused trouble in Yikun Palace again, and Rouze was already very depressed. In addition, Concubine Yi's hot and cold attitude made Rouze's heart fluctuate, and her patience was almost exhausted.

She endured it for a while and just responded hastily: "Don't worry, Father. I believe that Hongchang's illness will be cured one day, and then he will naturally be better than others."

Seeing that Rouze didn't take it seriously, Fei Yanggu wanted to say something else, but Xinghui came over at this time and took Fei Yanggu to say goodbye.

After thinking about it, Fei Yanggu felt that he really had no experience in raising children, so he said no more and got into the carriage with Xinghui.

---------------

That night, in Yongkang Pavilion.

Rouze handed Hongchang over to the care of the wet nurse. During the days since her son came back, she could actually feel that Hongchang was not close to her.

Perhaps it was because I had been in solitary confinement for two years, and I happened to miss the time when Hongchang began to regain his memory.

"Fangluo," Rouze called out, "How do you think I should teach Hongchang in the future?"
