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

Yinzhen sighed and called Su Peisheng: "Let's go back."

Su Peisheng immediately bent down and followed, after all, his master was alone now.

----------

On the second day, what happened in Longjing Pavilion the night before spread throughout the backyard.

In Yongkang Pavilion, Yixiu had not arrived yet, and everyone gathered together, and the topic naturally turned to Rouze.

Li Jingyan was the first to speak: "Princess Rouze is so generous. I heard that she locked up the Fourth Prince yesterday. She actually came to see us today. It's really an honor for us."

After looking at Li Jingyan, Rouze said nothing.

During these days since she entered the mansion, she has realized that Li Jingyan is nothing but a stupid barking dog, who is just clinging to Yixiu for survival. What future can he have?

However, Wujina, who had just walked in, took these words to heart.

She glanced around, her eyes fell on Rouze and said, "You are Rouze, you really have a face like a foxy girl. I heard that you were arrogant last night, so I advise you to be careful. The Fourth Prince is not as good-tempered as he is every day."

In fact, Rouze's behavior last night was just a trick of playing hard to get.

She thought that the Fourth Prince would not tell everyone about such a thing, but somehow the news leaked out, and when she woke up, the whole backyard knew about it.

She was pregnant and was a thorn in everyone's side.

Now, she is afraid it is even worse.

"Fujin is here, pay your respects to her."

Just when Rouze was feeling awkward, Qi Yuebin spoke up and broke the deadlock.

She looked at Yixiu who was still in the distance, and bowed slightly. Only then did Rouze breathe a sigh of relief.

Glancing around, Yixiu said, "What are you all arguing about so early in the morning? It's a good thing that Princess Rouze is pregnant and has returned home. You should take good care of Rouze. How can you cause trouble for her so early in the morning? You are really ignorant."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces darkened. They all blamed Rouze for causing trouble as soon as he came back.

Rousuke: ...Okay, okay, I hope you really mean that.

Yixiu looked at Rouze and said, "I heard from the imperial physician that you are still weak. For you and the baby in your belly, I have ordered people to go to the palace to get blood swallows every day to replenish your body. After getting them, let the imperial physician examine them first, and then send them to your small kitchen to cook."

Blood swallow?

It turned out to be blood bird's nest, which is a rare treasure among bird's nests. Even the masters in the harem had to be pregnant or above the rank of concubine to barely afford it. Everyone looked puzzled and exchanged glances. After all, Yixiu and Rouze were sisters. Could it be that they were going to reconcile?

Only Wu Rina rolled her eyes in disdain: "It's just a blood swallow, a bunch of ignorant women, what is there to envy, as if no one can afford to eat it!"

"Yeah, it's just a blood swallow. If any of you are pregnant, there will be good things." Yixiu rubbed his temple: "Okay, I'm tired too, everyone go home."

When Yixiu walked back into the room, Jianqiu had just retrieved the blood swallow from the palace.

Yixiu asked: "Has the stuff been delivered?"

Jian Qiu said: "Yes. Giving her such a good thing is a bargain for her."

"She fell hard from the heights, so let her be happy for a few days. Thanks to your timely receipt of the news that she would not let the Fourth Prince in last night, I was able to think of using her trick against her."

Yixiu thought to herself that this was a trick of playing both sides and maybe some kind of literary star would appear and she would just try to make Yinzhen happy.

Yinzhen was usually smart and cautious. If he hadn't had his eyes on the throne, he probably wouldn't have believed it so easily.

The more greedy a person is, the easier it is for him to fall into the trap.

What's more, Yinzhen was still just a teenager under 20 years old. Although smart, he was not as sensitive and suspicious as he would be after he experienced the "Nine Sons' Struggle for the Succession" and ascended to the throne.

----------

That night, the Fourth Prince Yinzhen went to Rouze again.

"Hurry up, Rou'er, how are you feeling today? Can you eat the blood swallows that Fu Jin sent?"

Yinzhen rushed forward two steps, helped up Rouze who was about to salute, put his arm around her still slender waist, and spoke with concern.

"I am fine, but the blood swallow is too precious. I am really unworthy of it."

Rouze thought to herself, I just spread a few words about my poor health, but Yixiu kept doing something different every day, either sending me unpalatable pregnancy-preserving medicine or expensive ingredients to put me on the spot.

"Hehe, Rou'er has suffered a lot while carrying a child, how can I not dare to take the responsibility." Yinzhen hugged Rouze and sat down: "Rou'er, don't worry, just tell me what you want, and don't let yourself and the child suffer."

"Rou'er is beautiful and talented, and the child she gives birth to will definitely be a beloved one. In my heart, what I hope most is Rou'er's child."

Yinzhen kept throwing words at her, and Rouze suddenly felt a little dizzy.

She said coquettishly, "Does the Fourth Prince care more about this child or me?"

"You are already a mother, yet you are jealous of your own child." Yinzhen chuckled, feeling very happy. He reached out and touched Rouze's face: "Of course I care about you more."

A blush appeared on her face, and Rouze lowered her head and smiled faintly.

Chong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut faintly.

For several days, Yinzhen stayed at Rouze's place.

Although there was inevitably some dissatisfaction in the backyard, it was soon calmed down on the surface under Yixiu's deliberate suppression. Instead, she took the initiative to exempt Rouze from paying her respects every day, and just like Lingyu was doing now, she could just rest and take care of her pregnancy in her room.

A steady stream of supplements were queued up and sent to Longjing Pavilion.

After seeing this, Duoluo Gege finally felt relieved. After staying for a few more days, he said goodbye and left.

----------

After Duoluo Gege left, an unexpected person appeared in Longjing Pavilion. It was Qi Yuebin, who later became Concubine Duan.

When Fang Luo brought Qi Yuebin in, Rouze was holding needle and thread, making small clothes for the child.

Seeing Qi Yuebin coming in, she wanted to get down from the couch and greet each other, but Qi Yuebin pushed her down on the bed instead: "Hurry up and lie down. You are pregnant. Why should we be so formal with each other as sisters?"

Rouze smiled slightly and thought to herself, when did we become sisters? My real sister is taking care of her children in Yongkang Pavilion.

But even though I thought so in my heart, I said affectionately: "Sister Qi feels sorry for me, so I'm lazy, but is there anything wrong?"

Qi Yuebin said: "It's nothing, but after paying respects to my father today, I wanted to come and see you. Have you been feeling better these days?"

Qi Yuebin's words were sincere, and Rouze was also moved: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I am feeling better now. I often feel that everyone is too kind to me, and I feel a little uneasy. Fu Jin has exempted me from paying respects now. If it is convenient, please convey my concerns to everyone on my behalf."

When Qi Yuebin heard Rouze now calling Yixiu "Fujin", he thought that this trip to Ganlu Temple had made Rouze learn a lesson.

She smiled: "What's there to be uneasy about? You are pregnant and the Fourth Prince likes you. You deserve it."

Now that Rouze is pregnant, she loves to hear others brag about their child.

Yinzhen and Qi Yuebin kept feeding her candies. Although she didn't say anything, she felt a little elated in her heart.

Qi Yuebin added: "Sister is really lucky. She got pregnant a few days after entering the mansion. She will have a secure support in the future."

Rouze understood and said, "Sister Qi, why worry? We are still young and strong. As long as you visit the Fourth Prince more often, you will have a child."

The two talked for a while, and then Qi Yuebin said goodbye and left.

----------

After seeing Qi Yuebin off, Fang Ruo came over with the pregnancy-preserving medicine and said, "This Qi Gege was never on good terms with us before, why is she rushing to our door now?"

Rouze drank the pregnancy-preserving medicine slowly and replied, "I'm waiting for her to come, too."

Although Rouze was pregnant, she could see the situation in the mansion clearly.

There are two forces in the backyard now.

One group is her half-sister Yixiu. Li Jingyan and Lingyu, who is also pregnant, depend on her. Although they are both obedient, they don't have much brains.

The other is Wujina, who has a bright future ahead of her thanks to her Mongolian mother clan and Yinzhen's favor in the past few days.

Now that she has returned home pregnant, Qi Yuebin is afraid that she is a new force with which he can form an alliance.

But the two of them were not familiar with each other before, and now they are just testing each other.

If Qi Yuebin was interested, she could naturally persuade Yinzhen to go see her.

Anyway, my pregnancy is not yet complete, and even if Yinzhen comes, I can't really serve him in bed. Why should I take the opportunity to win over an ally?
