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

At the end of February in the 36th year of the Kangxi reign, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen and Ulanara Xinghui returned to the capital city with only a group of people, groping in the moonlight at night.

At the Fourth Prince's residence, when Yixiu received the news, it was less than a month away from giving birth and she was unable to go out of the city to welcome the baby.

Instead, it was Rouze in Longjing Pavilion who received a letter from Yinzhen, asking her to go outside the city to pick up Yinzhen on behalf of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and to also meet her younger brother Xinghui who had just returned from the battlefield.

A strange stone was also delivered. Su Peisheng, who had arrived earlier to deliver the imperial edict, bent down and introduced it, "Princess, this is a strange stone from the Western Regions, called Grape Agate. The Fourth Prince found it especially for you. It is blessed by the God of the Western Regions. Under the sunlight, it changes five colors unpredictably and is eye-catching."

Su Peisheng walked around to the back of the strange rock and led Rouze, saying, "The most wonderful thing is here. What can you see from here?"

"Is it a heart shape?" Rou Ze asked with narrowed eyes.

Su Peisheng slapped his thigh, delighted by Rouze's intelligence: "That's right, this heart is natural. The Fourth Prince said that it's just like the relationship with the princess. Even though we are in two different places, we can still understand each other's minds."

After a few words, Su Peisheng was so happy that Jiang Rouze smiled happily. Not only did he no longer feel the anxiety he had felt a few days ago about being caught and poisoned by Yixiu, but also the haze of being ignored since he entered the mansion was swept away.

Rouze looked up at the sky and felt that it was as clear as a blue sky and extremely bright. She looked down at the ground and felt that it was vast and broad, with a smooth road ahead.

She casually grabbed a handful of golden beans from the table, put them in Su Peisheng's palm and said, "Thank you, father-in-law. I'll treat you to a cup of hot tea as a token of my appreciation for your hard work on the journey."

Su Peisheng said goodbye with a smile. At this moment, the sun was shining all over the ground, but he felt cold sweat. This was the second strange stone he had delivered today. Just a cup of tea ago, he had just delivered an almost identical stone to the Yongkang Pavilion in Yixiu.

But when it was delivered, there was another explanation.

----------

In Yongkang Pavilion, Xiuxia looked at the stone placed in the yard and stamped her feet in anger:

"Why send a love stone? Concubine's child almost died, and then she wrote a letter to the Fourth Prince but got no response. This is our Concubine's first child. What will happen if something goes wrong?"

"This Fourth Prince is so heartless. Does that mean the child is no longer his?!"

Jianqiu, Huichun and Randong, who were standing by, were not as angry as Xiuxia, but they also looked at the stone with a frown, as if the stone was not a dead object, but Yinzhen himself.

Jianqiu also sighed and said, "It's no wonder Xiuxia is angry. When the Fourth Prince left, he was very nice to our concubine. But after going to the battlefield, he became a completely different person. I should have known better than to go."

Several maids surrounded Yixiu, cursing at her while massaging her shoulders and legs.

Yixiu knew that they were trying to vent her anger and make her feel better, and she was touched by their thoughtfulness.

However, she was much calmer than anyone else.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, but what if it is a true dragon emperor?

In her previous life, she watched helplessly as Yinzhen used Concubine Duan to abort Concubine Hua's male fetus, and watched as Concubine Hua was forced to eat all kinds of pickles because of Huan Yixiang and was unable to have children again.

She also watched, and in order to vent Hua Fei's anger and win over Nian Gengyao, Yinzhen allowed Hua Fei to drink Concubine Duan's saffron, and from then on Concubine Duan was sick nine out of ten times.

She also watched as Zhen Huan lost her child, while Yinzhen was still pretending to be nice to Concubine Hua and even took Songzhi in.

Which of these children is not his? Which one of them is not harmed by him?

So, it’s no wonder that she had to perform an abortion with a knife in her previous life. Yinzhen did it himself just as often as I did, and was no slower than I did.

What's more, her child is still safely in her belly.

It would be better to keep all the evidence and witnesses of this matter and wait for the incident to happen in the future.

Yixiu was very calm in her heart, for she knew very well that Yinzhen would bow his head at any time for the sake of profit, or would favor a certain woman at any time.

She has seen too much.

Now that I think about it carefully, this change must be related to the Ulanara family.

Yixiu remembered that during these years, Ulanara still had some manliness in the previous dynasty, until later when the military power was slowly taken away by General Nian Gengyao, who was more trusted by Yinzhen.

After all, Nian Gengyao was a Han Chinese, and his foundation was weaker than that of the Manchu upper eight banners like Ulanara, so the suspicious Fourth Prince would feel more at ease using him.

Thinking of this, Yixiu felt that she should take the opportunity to bring Rouze and Yinzhen together and make Rouze proud. Maybe she could find more faults in her and make her disliked by the whole family, which would also give her one less bargaining chip with Yinzhen.

Anyway, in this life, she is just a princess and can never become the legitimate wife overnight.

Yixiu's thoughts were turning around, and the team led by Yinzhen also moved to the city gate.

Rouze had already been waiting at the door: "Fourth Prince, Xinghui, you are back."

She had a peaceful smile on her face and gave Xinghui an admiring look.

A few days ago, she received a letter from her younger brother, informing him that he had rescued Yinzhen and spoken on her behalf.

Rouze was proud in her heart: a concubine's daughter is a concubine's daughter. Unlike herself, she has promising brothers to help her and naturally has a higher status in the outside world. She cannot be limited by a small position.

Thinking of this, she went to greet him and said, "The mansion has already prepared wine and food. Why don't you go and have a simple meal with your brother? It can also be considered a celebration."

The Fourth Prince nodded and ordered everyone to return to their homes to rest. They would go to the Ministry of Revenue to arrange for food and fodder the next day. Then he led Xinghui ahead, and Rouze followed alone behind.
