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

"Of course there are, but you must not spread these portraits to others, so as not to tarnish the reputation of these women."

Yixiu knew that the reason she and Yunli could sit here and discuss his marriage was because of Yinzhen's coercion.

Although she didn't know why Yunli didn't marry, she at least respected Yunli's choice.

She was afraid that Yunzhen would do something in anger - such as making these women sick to avoid these marriages.

By then, no matter how stupid Yinzhen is, he will be able to see the problem.

So what she meant by saying this was to remind Yunli not to act rashly.

Just as Yunzhi's mind was racing, Yinzhen suddenly entered the Yangxin Palace.

"Hey, Old Fourteen, you're here so early?"

Yunli looked up at Yinzhen.

Yinzhen pretended not to know why he was here. He was afraid that someone outside had heard most of the conversation between him and Yixiu.

He felt a little scared at this moment, fortunately he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said.

Combining Yixiu's expression just now and Yixiu's answer when I was dealing with her.

Yunli knew immediately that Yixiu was not sincere in doing these things.

However, Yunli also knew that Yixiu only regarded him as a friend and a younger brother, and they did not have any affair as Yinzhen imagined.

He thought that he had hidden his feelings very well, and was afraid that it was Concubine Rui's nonsense at the time that made his brother more suspicious.

Perhaps as long as he can get through this period first, his royal brother will not think too much about it.

He agreed first and would figure out what to do next.

Yixiu continued, "It's just right that Prince Xun came early. I saw that the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor's father were all worried about Prince Xun's marriage, so I couldn't help but tell Prince Xun in advance that Your Majesty has chosen so many famous ladies for him. I am happy for Prince Xun."

"As a result, it just so happened that Prince Xun was usually too embarrassed to break the oath he made in his youth in front of the emperor, but I tricked him into revealing it with just a few words. Now he has already agreed to the marriage and is just waiting to choose one or two from those ladies."

Since Yunli has already agreed to the marriage, I'm afraid it was really Concubine Rui's nonsense that caused the rift between the brothers.

Come to think of it, he was just confused. Yixiu and Yunli had such a big age gap, how could there be any affair between them?

When Concubine Rui committed the crime, she probably just wanted to drag someone else into it.

Yinzhen was suspicious every day and thought too much about everything.

Yinzhen felt that he was wrong.

Yinzhen laughed and said, "Haha, that's great. Old Fourteen, it's great that you can figure it out. I told you that it's time for you to get married."

Yunzhen quickly responded, "Thank you for your concern, brother. It was only after the emperor's wife persuaded me that I finally understood."

Yinzhen looked at Yixiu with some approval in his eyes: "The queen is thoughtful."

Yixiu bowed slightly: "This is all my responsibility. The emperor and the queen mother have been worrying about the prince's marriage, so I naturally have to share the emperor's worries."

Yinzhen nodded and said to Yunzhi, "Old Fourteen, you must choose carefully. These women are all from famous families and will definitely be a good match for you."

Yunzhi said: "Don't worry, my brother. I believe in your judgment."

At this time, Yinzhen seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, Old Fourteen, you have been guarding the border for many years. You are much more familiar with how to govern the border than those ministers. Tell me, what are your thoughts on the governance of the border?"

Yunzhi's heart moved, knowing that this was Yinzhen testing him.

If he answered well, Yinzhen would be suspicious of him. If he answered poorly, Yinzhen would think that he had spent so many years on the border and it was useless.

Moreover, when the retired emperor was in power, his ability to command troops was also very impressive.

He thought for a moment and came up with a very moderate answer.

"Brother Emperor, I believe that the key to border governance is stability. We must strengthen military defense to prevent foreign invasions, and we must also pay attention to people's livelihood and promote the development of border areas so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Yinzhen: "Well, you have a point. So how do you think it should be implemented?"

Yunzhen continued, "We can appropriately increase the number of troops stationed on the borders, and encourage the people to reclaim wasteland to prepare for wartime and peacetime needs. In addition, we can also trade with the scattered people and marginal tribes of Junggar."

Yinzhen listened with a satisfied look on his face: "Not bad, your time at the border these years has not been in vain."

Yixiu watched the two brothers discussing state affairs and pondered in her heart.

The two brothers chatted with each other for a while, and then Yunli took his leave.

After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Yunzhi felt depressed.

He knew that he agreed to this marriage only as a temporary measure, and he didn't want to marry those strange women at all.

After returning home, Yunli began to think of a solution.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered Prince Guo.

Now my seventeenth brother is already old and still hasn’t married.

It would be better if he introduced these young ladies to Yunli.

What if the two of them fall in love with each other?

He can't just steal someone's love.

Moreover, it can be considered a win-win situation.

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

Yixiu left the Yangxin Palace and returned to the Jingren Palace.

Jianqiu asked in a low voice: "Empress, the Emperor... doesn't suspect you, does he?"

Yi Xiu said: "This palace and Prince Xun are innocent, and there is not even a trace of love between men and women. The emperor is suspicious of this palace... It's unnecessary."

Jian Qiu sighed, "I have been following the Majesty for so many years, how could I not know the relationship between the Majesty and the Emperor, and between the Majesty and Prince Xun? The Emperor... has been married to the Majesty for so many years, yet he still doesn't believe in the Majesty."

Yixiu originally wanted to say a few words about the reasons for Yinzhen's character, but she thought it was unnecessary.

"The most interactions between me and Prince Xun were when we went to Tongcheng together to rescue the emperor, and the emperor suspected me..."

"Jianqiu, go tell the kitchen to make some Tremella and Snow Pear Soup for me. The weather has been cold these past few days and my throat has been feeling uncomfortable. I need to drink more to avoid catching a cold."

Jianqiu felt anxious when she heard Yixiu say this.

It must be because the Emperor has been suspicious of the Empress these days, which has caused the Empress to worry and become unwell.

Why not ask Imperial Doctor Wen to come and see the Empress?

After Jianqiu left, Yixiu sat for a while.

After so many years of rebirth, she has already realized that everything is not smooth sailing after rebirth, and there will always be things that are not satisfactory.

If I could be like Yi...

Forget it.

Yixiu fumbled around the table on the kang for a long time and found a secret compartment.

She opened the secret compartment.

Inside was a clay figurine wrapped in a handkerchief and a jade bracelet.
