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

Hearing Yixiu's words, Yinzhen's expression relaxed a little.

After thinking about it, Yinzhen decided to hand Li Jingyan over to Yixiu for disposal.

Yixiu also told Huapin a few words to take good care of her health. Since she was not in good health now, the ceremony of consorting her would no longer be held. Tong Jia Wanqing pretended not to hear, and Yixiu did not care and took Li Jingyan back to Jingren Palace.

"Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for saving my life!" As soon as she entered Jingren Palace, Li Jingyan hugged Yixiu's legs and knelt down: "Your Majesty, but I am really wronged!"

"You still dare to cry out for injustice?" Yi Xiu snorted coldly: "Then I want to ask you, did you ask the imperial kitchen to send this plate of black fungus to Yikun Palace?"

"Yes... But, I was also obsessed for a while. It's all Concubine Cao's fault. She accidentally told me that the fungus is poisonous when it grows hair, so I went astray. Queen, I promise that I will never hurt anyone again!"

"Humph, promise that you will never hurt anyone again?" Yixiu waved her hand and said, "I also have to give an explanation to the harem. From today on, you are not allowed to leave Changchun Palace. If it weren't for Hongshi's marriage proposal, I would definitely abolish your position as a concubine."

"But Hongshi's wife and concubines still need to be seen, how can they stay in Changchun Palace all the time?" Li Jingyan was anxious: "Your Majesty, please be more tolerant..."

"There is a child missing from the palace now, how can I tolerate you? You don't have to worry about Hongshi's affairs, we have the emperor and me. Now Hongshi's marriage is important, so you should be content." Yixiu thought for a moment and added, "I will send people to guard Changchun Palace and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will."

After Li Jingyan left, the queen rubbed her head and told Jianqiu to summon Wen Xumo to the palace to check her pulse tomorrow.

"Yes, Madam..." Jianqiu responded, but did not leave immediately. Yixiu raised her eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I just find it strange that even if the emperor dotes on Concubine Hua, he is too high-profile." Jian Qiu frowned and said, "When Concubine Hua gave birth to this child, the emperor was very happy, but he has been a little too happy these days..."

"Yes, I can see it." Yi Xiu said, "So Huapin's child must not be saved. I am not surprised that Cao Qinmo secretly instigated Qipin."

"That's why Your Majesty mentioned to the Emperor at this juncture that she wanted to arrange a marriage for Prince Hongshi. Even if the truth is revealed, Concubine Qi still has Prince Hongshi's marriage as a shield."

"That's right." Yixiu praised, "Also, Huapin is proud and favored. Although the emperor doesn't want her to have a child, he doesn't intend to kill her. As a result, Li Jingyan's attack was too heavy, which made the emperor furious today. I don't allow people to enter and leave Changchun Palace at will, which is also to save her life."

If this Huapin learns from the Concubine Hua in the previous life and fills her stomach with saffron, it will cost a lot of money for the imperial doctors and medicinal materials.

Yixiu thought silently in her heart.

"Where is Cao Chang?"

"I'll think about it again. Maybe sending her to someone else would be a better way to use her." Yixiu casually broke off a leaf and threw it on the table, saying, "Go to sleep first. Staying up late is not good. Doctor Wen will come to check my pulse tomorrow."

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

The first year of Yinzhen's reign passed smoothly. The New Year was approaching, and some ministers would go to Beijing to report on their work.

Yunli, who was implicated in the imperial examination, also returned.

He was in a hurry at this time, without even bothering to go back to his palace, and came to the palace.

After reporting to Yinzhen, he went to Shoukang Palace.

The Queen Mother was naturally overjoyed to see her youngest son whom she hadn't seen for half a year.

"Thin and dark."

Yunli was stunned for a moment. He had been on many military expeditions before, but the Queen Mother had never said this to him.

He quickly asked, "Is your son still as handsome as before?"

When the Queen Mother heard the question asked by Yunli, she was silent for a moment.

Since when did her son start to care about his appearance?

Could it be that her son, who has not yet married, has a lover?

"Of course you are beautiful."

Yunzhi always felt that the Queen Mother was being perfunctory by just agreeing with him.

Since he has become darker and thinner, how can he become more handsome?

Yunzhi was thinking in his mind, should he go back to the palace to wash and dress up first?

But he soon came to his senses.

Even if he had washed and dressed, what would it matter? Would he have so many opportunities to see Yixiu?

Yunzhi looked gloomy for a moment.

The Queen Mother thought for a moment, and finally asked him, "Old Fourteen, do you have a girl you love?"

Yunli was thinking about Yixiu when he suddenly heard the Queen Mother ask this. He almost blurted out the answer. He shuddered and came back to his senses.

"My Queen Mother, my son has never had a woman he loves."

The Queen Mother pursed her lips.

She knew her youngest son very well. From his reaction, she knew that he had a woman he loved in his heart.

But why did he deny it? Was it because the woman’s identity was inconvenient?

The Queen Mother thought hard but couldn't figure out who it was.

Old Fourteen seems to have little contact with women.

Maybe she was overthinking it.

The two chatted for a while, and then Aunt Zhuxi came in hurriedly and said, "Empress Dowager, the Queen is here."

The Queen Mother's eyebrows curved.

"Invite her in quickly."

"From now on, when the Queen comes to my palace, there is no need to inform her."

Yunli felt his throat tighten slightly and his jaw tensed.

He smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are really as close as mother and daughter."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's right. These young concubines are unwilling to chat with an old lady like me. Only Yixiu often comes to accompany me."

"After so many years, she has remained consistent. She is closer to me than that girl Wen Xian."

Yunzhen added: "If Wen Xian heard the Empress Dowager say this, he would probably think that the Empress Dowager is biased."

While the mother and son were talking, Yixiu walked in.

Yunyu took a look and his breathing paused for a moment.

Yixiu is almost 30 years old now, but her oval face is still only the size of a palm, her eyes are still bright, and her teeth are white.

Perhaps because he had been in a position of power for a year, his temperament became calmer and even carried a certain dignity.

She smiled softly and relaxedly, "I pay my respects to the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother kindly asked her to stand up, took her hand and said, "Get up quickly, no need to be so polite. How come you have time to come here today?"

Yi Xiu said: "I miss the Queen Mother, so I came to see her."

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, saying, "You are thoughtful."

Yunli watched Yixiu interacting with the Queen Mother from the side, his heart filled with envy.

How he wished he could be as close to Yixiu as the Empress Dowager.
