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

"Did Yinreng really stay in the emperor's room until late at night?"

Yinzhen couldn't help but ask Xia Qian.

"It's true."

Yinzhen thought of the dead Xiu Yue. Wasn’t she the spy placed by the retired emperor by his side?

"Just wait and see what happens."

"What did the Emperor and Yinreng do? You must tell me everything."

After Xia Jian agreed, he quietly disappeared into the night.

Yinzhen sat on the dragon throne with a solemn expression.

At this moment, he felt that it would be better to take the emperor to the frontier, at least Yinreng would not follow him.

But soon Yinzhen felt relieved. Now he was the one sitting on the throne. Although those former ministers might still listen to the emperor, in time, these people would inevitably bow down to him.

Yixiu came to Yinzhen.

"Silang, you are busy today, so I personally made some sour radish and old duck soup for you."

Yinzhen happened to be hungry at night, so he couldn't help but salivate when he heard about the sour radish and old duck soup.

"The sour radish and duck soup you made is still the same as before. The taste has not changed after so many years."

Yixiu mentioned something, "The Emperor's father moved to the palace today. It will be troublesome for you and I to visit the Empress Dowager in the future."

Yinzhen had not had time to think about this question today, and only reacted when Yixiu mentioned it.

Yinzhen didn't want his reputation to be tarnished after his death, but it was too much trouble to go to the palace to pay respects to the retired emperor and the empress dowager every day.

Yinzhen suddenly felt that the sour radish and old duck soup in the bowl was not as delicious as before.

"I am very busy with government affairs now. There is still a long distance between the Forbidden City and the temporary palace. If I go there every day, it will be difficult. But if I don't go..."

Yixiu continued: "I do have a suggestion."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I can also represent the emperor. Why not let me go out of the palace every day to pay my respects to the emperor and his mother. To those ministers, I and the emperor are one, and if I go, the emperor also goes."

Yinzhen pondered and said, "This is a good idea. But it will be too hard for you."

"The Queen Mother is also my mother, how could it be hard for me?"

Yixiu lifted up the non-existent hair on her temples.

"Although I only take care of the affairs of the six palaces, I am much less busy than the emperor. I go to the palace once a day and take a carriage back and forth, so it is not a problem."

"In that case, you can go on my behalf every day."

The two talked for a while, and Yixiu planned to leave.

Yinzhen held her hand and said, "Xiaoyi, please stay."

Yixiu leaned her head on Yinzhen's shoulder, and the two of them walked towards the bed hugging each other.

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

The retired emperor had no idea of ​​Yinzhen's thoughts. He was now immersed in the joy of reconciling with Yinreng.

Perhaps it was because she had returned to the heart of the retired emperor and became the apple of his eye.

Yinreng also looked much more radiant.

Yinreng walked briskly to look for the retired emperor, but there was no one in his room.

Only the palace maid serving tea to him, Maertai Ruoxi, was busy there.

"Ruoxi, where is the emperor?" Yinreng asked her.

Ruoxi said, "The Emperor went for a walk early in the morning."

Yinreng asked, "You are the tea-serving maid beside the Emperor, why don't you go with him?"

"The Emperor likes quietness now, and only has the Third Eunuch with him."

Ruoxi lowered her head a little embarrassedly. "The emperor thought that I talked too much and was too noisy, so he didn't want to keep me around."

Ruoxi was still very young at this time, and she looked particularly pretty when she lowered her head to speak.

Yinreng's gaze lingered on Ruoxi's face for a moment.

"I think this palace is very quiet, and it would be nice for you to talk more."

"My father and I are both quiet people. With you here, we can be more lively."

The smile on Yinreng's face brightened a little.

Ruoxi smiled and said, "Second Master is really good at praising people. I didn't know that I could be so useful."

"If the Emperor doesn't like to hear you talk, come to me if you want to talk."

Ruoxi raised her head and met Yinreng's gaze, "Since Second Master said so, I can rest assured to bother you."

Yinreng said: "You come to talk to me, how can it be considered as disturbing me? I just wish someone could come and talk to me."

"In this palace, I'm afraid you and I are the only ones who can talk to each other."

Ruoxi said, "Second Master, you are too kind. Your wife, concubines, and children can all talk to you."

"That's different."

Yinreng blurted out.

"You have been with the Emperor for many years, so your experience is naturally different from that of ordinary women."

"If you continue talking, I won't be able to be modest anymore."

Ruoxi also started to joke lively.

In the past few years, these princes and nobles fought fiercely for the throne.

As a member of Lao Ba's party, she could not remain immune to the situation and was in a tense mood every day.

Now that the dust has settled, she has become a little more lively.

The lines on Yinreng's lips were very obvious when he smiled. "A bright and beautiful woman like you shouldn't be modest."

Before Yinreng could continue speaking to Ruoxi, the retired emperor returned.

The Emperor looked at Yinreng and said, "You came early today."

He glanced at Ruoxi again, "You two seem to be having a good conversation."

Yinreng said, "Miss Ruoxi has been with the Emperor for many years and is well-spoken. My son and Miss Ruoxi get along very well."

The emperor said with a hint of meaning, "I rarely hear you say that you can get along well with a woman. This is the first time."

"Your Majesty is very observant." Yinreng said.

Ruoxi didn't think much about it at this time.

She was originally considered to be Eighth Master's person, but now Eighth Master has fallen.

Her sister and brother-in-law were only close to the Fourth Master, and now the Fourth Master has become the Emperor.

In Ruoxi's opinion, the dust has been settled and she doesn't need to avoid contact with Yinreng.

Yinreng is old enough to be her father, so she wouldn't think much if he said a few words to her.

She didn't think about this carefully.

Ruoxi bowed and said, "I will go and prepare tea for the Emperor and the Second Master. I also made some snacks and will serve them up. The Emperor and the Second Master must give a good evaluation of my cooking skills."

The emperor said: "I have always been very confident in your craftsmanship."

After Ruoxi left, Yinreng said, "I think your father treats Ruoxi just as well as Wenxian."

The emperor smiled slightly.

Ruoxi is indeed very good at pleasing others. I don’t treat her as my own daughter, but I also want to give her a good future.

Not long after, Ruoxi brought the tea and snacks.

The tea was brewed with rootless water that she collected all year round, and the snacks were also made with exceptional exquisiteness.

It is made with flavors for each season, with different flavors for spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Peach blossom cake in spring, lotus cake in summer, chrysanthemum cake in autumn and plum blossom cake in winter.

Except for chrysanthemums, the ones for the other three seasons are made from dried flowers collected by Ruoxi.

Although it is not difficult, it takes a year to make this snack.

It can be seen that a new one was used.

After eating it, Yinreng praised it highly.

"Your Majesty is so lucky that he can taste Miss Ruoxi's cooking every day."

The Emperor said, "Now that you live with me, you can taste it every day."

The retired emperor said to Yinreng again.

"Since you like Ruoxi's craftsmanship, reward Ruoxi."

The words of the retired emperor were regarded as a reaffirmation of the status of Master Yinreng.

Otherwise, how could I reward Ruoxi?

Yinreng's heart was filled with ecstasy.
