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

Yixiu strolled in the yard with Jianqiu, but she always felt something strange in her heart. This was the first time in all these years that she learned about Yinzhen's decision through Honghui.

Moreover, Yinzhen also entrusted the task of entertaining Kukuan this time to Concubine Duan.

Yixiu had always known that Yinzhen was suspicious, so she decided to be a little more reserved in the near future.

Half an hour later, Honghui and Nian Shilan came out again laughing.

Yixiu shook her head and looked at the two of them with a smile. Oh, love, it really is sweeter when you watch others fall in love.

But the news that Honghui brought was also very important. He said that the emperor had decided to select a son-in-law for Princess Kukuan, and he would meet everyone at the banquet.

It was the first time in the Qing Dynasty that a woman chose her husband in public, or by looking at him.

For a time, the capital city was full of legends about Kukuan. Some said that Tibetan women were informal, generous and magnanimous, but more often, their words were filled with prying or mockery, and people thought that women who made such a fuss did not know the rules.

The last time Nian Shilan peeked, she got into trouble, so this time she didn’t dare to go there secretly again. Fortunately, women were still allowed to attend the banquet, so Nian Shilan was naturally among the invited guests.

If there was anyone who stayed out of it, it was the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen.

Oh no, now his name should be Yunli.

After attending the coronation ceremony, Yunzhi followed Li Rongbao to Jiangnan for more than a month and is now on his way back to the capital.

Outside the capital, the two men rode their horses and whipped their whips, chasing each other for a long time, until they saw the city gate and slowed down.

Li Rongbao said, "I say, you are not young anymore. Among the emperor's brothers, none of them is more noble than you. Why don't you get married?"

Yunyu smiled and said, "Why, are you complaining about being dragged out of the capital by me?"

Li Rongbao glared at Fourteen. That was right. He hadn’t seen Jinghua for nearly a month.

The two men drove their horses forward, not noticing that there was a pair of affectionate eyes on the tall building, watching them.

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

As soon as Yunli returned, he was conscripted by Yinzhen.

"You need to pay more attention to the preparations for the banquet for the emperor. You have been sneaking out for so long, and Thirteen has done all your work."

Yunyu said, "Thirteenth brother, those who are capable should work harder. It's nothing for me to be lazy."

Compared to the Fourteenth Brother, Yinzhen still felt more sorry for his Thirteenth Brother. "Your Thirteenth Brother will be exhausted if he continues to work. The Banquet for Thousand Old Men will be held in Changchun Garden. Those old people will come to attend. You must ensure their safety. The defense of Changchun Garden will also be handed over to you."

Yunli knew that he could not avoid this task, so he had to accept it. This was his time to show his filial piety. If he didn't do it, he was afraid that others would say that he was an unfilial son.

Yunli quickly devoted himself to the work of preparing for the Banquet for a Thousand Old Men. Together with other banquets to be organized in the palace, everyone inside and outside the palace was busy for a while.

The Tibetan chieftain Baledun noticed it and followed it for a few days.

"You guys in the Central Plains are different. You can actually hold so many banquets at the same time. There's fun every day."

"By the way, I see those princes have invited many elders to come to the capital. What are they planning to do?"

Yinzhen said, "The Emperor will be turning sixtieth in March. We are planning to hold a banquet for a thousand elders. Let all the long-lived people in the world celebrate with him."

Balerton was greatly surprised when he heard this. "A banquet for a thousand elders? Are you looking for a thousand long-lived elders?"

Yinzhen nodded, "That's right."

Barton was full of praise, "In Tibet, it is difficult to reach 60 years old."

He secretly swore in his heart that he must make this marriage with Daqing happen.

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

Yinzhen entrusted the task of receiving Kukuan to Qi Yuebin.

This was the first time Qi Yuebin received such an important female guest, and he felt uneasy.

But she was unwilling to ask Yixiu, for fear that Yixiu would look down on her, and she was also worried that after Yinzhen knew about it, he would see that she was incompetent and would not be willing to entrust her with such a prominent task in the future.

Over the years, from the Qiandi to the palace, Qi Yuebin saw new people coming in one after another. Even the woman who was recently sent by the Ulanara family was given the title of a concubine, which was only two levels lower than her, who had accompanied the emperor for so many years.

Although Qi Yuebin didn't say these words, he actually felt a strong sense of crisis in his heart.

"Jixiang, what do you think I should do to make the emperor impressed with me?" Sitting in the Yanqing Palace, Qi Yuebin watched the sun swaying downwards and felt worried.

She is only in her twenties now, but she already has a vague feeling of sunset.

"Master, if you want to impress the emperor, you should take this opportunity to show your strengths." Jixiang also knew that Qi Yuebin had not been very favored in recent years. As a dowry maid, she was also very anxious and did her best to make plans:

"I remember that the queen has been playing the pipa very well since she was young. If she can show her talent at the banquet, it will surely remind the emperor of how the queen looked when she first entered the palace."

Jixiang's words were useful. Duanpin sat in her seat and thought carefully.

The special talents that can be shown off in this palace include the Queen's calligraphy, Rouze's dance, and the next one is her pipa.

"Come here, bring me my pipa."

Qi Yuebin did what he said. He put on his armor and started plucking the strings of the zither. He didn't even bother to see what Kukuan had been busy with in the past two days.

Originally, considering that Kukuan was a woman, Yinzhen specially found a house for her in the harem so that Qi Yuebin could accompany her at all times.

However, that night, Qi Yuebin, who had just become Concubine Duan, was so engrossed in practicing the pipa that she did not notice that Princess Kukuan had not returned to her residence.

"Gululu gurulu gurulu gurulu gurulu" As soon as Kukuan saw Balton, he impatiently uttered a series of Western Tibetan words.

The maids who were sent to the side stood in a row. In name, they were sent by Yinzhen to serve Balerton, but in fact they were also sent to monitor him.

However, despite all Yinzhen's calculations, he did not foresee the need to send someone who knew Tibetan, otherwise nine out of ten of their sentences would not make sense.

All I could hear was the father and daughter mumbling to each other for a long time. Kukuan blushed, stomped his feet and ran away, followed by Balerton's loud laughter.

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

The next day, when Kukuan returned to the palace, the room was already filled with gold hairpins and jade rings, as well as many red dresses embroidered by Suzhou and rosewood furniture.

"These are all given to the princess by our master. Our master said that the princess is a guest from afar and should be treated with all her heart. If there is anything missing, the princess can just go to Yanqing Palace and get it."

Jixiang had been waiting there for a long time and explained to Kukuan what Concubine Duan had instructed her to do.
