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

"Become a concubine?" Yixiu glanced at Yinzhen.

To be honest, if Nian Shilan was her love rival, she would have wished that Nian Shilan became her concubine.

But now Nian Shilan is about to become her daughter-in-law, and she has watched her grow up. When she looks at Nian Shilan again, she feels satisfied with everything.

In terms of appearance and figure, all the Manchu, Mongolian and eight banners combined could not be as beautiful as her.

Although she is not good at writing and does not like reading, she is not a master of calligraphy. It is enough for her handwriting to be readable. Moreover, she is very good at triathlon.

The housekeeper was also a good hand and very generous. He would never do anything to deduct money from the midwife.

She also had deep feelings for Honghui. When Honghui really needed help, she wanted to drag the entire Nian family to help.

Apart from not being born in the Manchu military banner, what else makes her incapable of being Honghui's legal wife?

Yixiu did not directly oppose Yinzhen, and asked: "What kind of woman do you plan to choose as Honghui's wife?"

Yinzhen said without thinking: "Of course, we will choose women with full military flags."

"Then do you think there is any lady among the eight banners who can surpass Nian Shilan?"

Yinzhen thought about it carefully, "Why should I pay attention to other people's daughters? When the palace selection comes, the Ministry of Rites will naturally present a list of suitable women for these imperial grandchildren."

Yixiu let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing?"

"I sighed, of course, for Honghui." Yixiu's voice was filled with a hint of laughter, "You also know how much Honghui likes Nian Shilan. If he knew that his sister Shilan didn't become his legal wife, I'm afraid he wouldn't be willing to choose another woman."

"As for being affectionate, I'm following your lead."

When Yinzhen heard the first half of the sentence, he was a little annoyed, but when he heard the second half, he chuckled.

"It's really like me."

Yinzhen said: "You also know what the situation is now. If Honghui's wife is a Han Chinese, I am afraid that the court and the emperor will be unhappy."

"Besides, as long as Honghui regards Nian Shilan as his wife and the only person he loves in his heart, these false names are not important."

"Look, Concubine Yuan1 and Empress Xiaozhuangwen2 were the emperor's beloved ones, but they were not his legal wives. Empress Xiaoxian3 was not his grandfather's empress during her lifetime, but he died young because of her. In our Aisin-Gioro clan, only Empress Xiaochengren4 was an empress during her lifetime."

When Yixiu heard Yinzhen's talk about true love for his wife, she thought of her past life.

Rouze was the only wife in Yinzhen's heart. Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan were his beloved ones, but she was just the queen, neither his wife nor his beloved one.

Now he wants to force Honghui to accept his way of doing things.

Yixiu had already asked Honghui's opinion before coming out, and she would definitely fight for the young couple.

"Besides, how can there be only one woman in Honghui's harem in the future? Even if she is made the legal wife today, she will have to serve Honghui together with many other women in the future."

Yixiu naturally knew that it was impossible for a couple to be together for a lifetime, but at least when they were in love with each other, she still hoped to fulfill their short relationship.

"Now that you say that, I can't think of Honghui anymore. My mind is full of our Yongjia and Lu Gege's Xuanyan. If they get married and their husbands have a house full of concubines, I don't know how worried I would be."

Yinzhen blurted out, "When my daughter gets married, I will naturally choose a man who is upright and clean. It doesn't matter if he has a lower family background, as long as he doesn't take concubines or takes few concubines."

After saying this, Yinzhen himself realized that he was quite hypocritical.

"You've gone around in circles and ended up getting me involved."

When the two men arrived at the restaurant, Nian Gengyao and his wife were already there.

When Nian Gengyao was in Beijing, he seemed like a gentle gentleman at first glance. But now, after only being the governor of Sichuan for more than a year, he already had a more iron-blooded and murderous aura, and even a bit of arrogance between his brows.

It was reasonable that he ended up like that in his previous life.

Yinzhen and Nian Gengyao chatted about daily life for a while and then got down to business.

"I called you here today to discuss the marriage of our two children."

Nian Gengyao asked, "Does the Fourth Master have a crush on my sister? I wonder which young prince in the mansion the Fourth Master wants to marry Shi Lan to?"

Yinzhen looked at Nian Gengyao who was pretending to be stupid and said, "Of course it is my eldest son Honghui."

"They grew up together and have a childhood sweetheart relationship. Now you are my good brother. It is only right for us to become friends."

Nian Gengyao raised his glass and said, "Fourth Master, you have good taste in my sister. For your good taste, I want to toast you."

Yinzhen drank the wine and waited for Nian Gengyao to express his opinion.

"It is my honor to be the Fourth Master's daughter-in-law! But, my sister has a hot temper. When she becomes the mistress and manages the rear house, she will have a bad temper when something happens. I hope the Fourth Master will bear with me."

After listening to what Nian Gengyao said, Yinzhen knew that he had tacitly agreed that Nian Shilan was here to be his legal wife, or perhaps he had said that to him on purpose.

He explained the matter immediately.

"Brother Nian, I want Shilan to be Honghui's concubine."

Although Nian Gengyao had expected this, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the girl when he heard it.

Yinzhen waited for Nian Gengyao to express his opinion.

Nian Gengyao didn't say whether he agreed or not, he just started talking on his own.

"When my sister was born, she was like a little dumpling. She didn't cry or make a fuss, but just looked at me and smiled. At that time, I swore that I would protect my sister for the rest of my life and give birth to a daughter as cute as my sister in the future."

"When she was little, my parents didn't pay much attention to her, so she followed me around like a tail, calling me brother every day."

"Later, I passed the imperial examination and became an official in the court. But I didn't have time to play with her. Over the years, I am very grateful to the Fourth Master for allowing my sister to study in the palace with the little prince and other brothers. She also learned a lot of principles from Fu Jin."

"I know that she and Prince Honghui grew up together. The Fourth Master mentioned this marriage out of consideration for Shilan's reputation. However, I sent my sister to the palace not to marry Prince Honghui. Besides, Shilan went there to study and has other little princesses with her."

"Fourth Master, we must carefully consider the children's marriage. We have worked so hard to plan everything here, isn't it just to give the children more choices? Even if Fourth Master does not marry Shilan to Honghui, I, Nian Gengyao, will follow Fourth Master!"

After hearing this, Yinzhen already understood what Nian Gengyao meant.

Did he reject him?

Just because he made Nian Shilan his concubine.

Yinzhen sneered.

You are so good, Nian Gengyao, you are even threatening me, right?
