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

Chapter 84: Concubine De, the Pioneer of Free Love

Emperor Kangxi's birthday banquet was always very lively, and this time was no exception.

Yixiu changed into elaborate wedding attire, and Li Jingyan and Rouze went with her.

Yixiu glanced at Rouze, who was wearing the auspicious dress. She was as beautiful now as when she first entered the Fourth Prince's mansion.

But the ups and downs of these days have made her completely lose that stunning beauty and aura.

Kangxi had many children, and the wives and concubines of noble status from each family sat here, seeming to be indistinguishable from the crowd.

Yixiu looked up and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne wearing a golden robe with a dragon pattern on it. His face was somewhat similar to Yinzhen's.

Yixiu was lost in thought as she thought that one day in the future her Honghui would also sit on the dragon throne.

Sitting next to Emperor Kangxi were Concubine Yi and a young girl.

The girl was none other than Princess Wenxian, Yinzhen's biological sister.

Emperor Kangxi smiled and picked up some food for Princess Wenxian, whose face was filled with happiness.

Princess Wenxian was raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child and was extremely favored by Emperor Kangxi. The only ones who could be compared to her were probably Yinzhi, Yinreng and Yinzhen.

Just because they grew up apart, Princess Wenxian and Yinzhen were not close, and naturally Yixiu rarely interacted with her.

She remembered that in her previous life, Princess Wenxian died of heatstroke at the age of only twenty. Concubine De was depressed for a long time, and the Empress Dowager also fell seriously ill.

This is not a terminal illness, and she can prevent it.

Yixiu thought that she might also need to get to know Princess Wenxian.

If Princess Wenxian stood on Yinzhen's side, although it would not have had much impact on Emperor Kangxi, it would have made her path to becoming the empress dowager more stable.

Seeing how Emperor Kangxi doted on Princess Wenxian, Concubine Yi's eyes sparkled, and then she smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I really envy Princess Wenxian for being valued and loved by you so much. I just don't know what kind of person Princess Wenxian will choose as her future husband?"

Because of Yinzhen's ranking, Yixiu sat relatively close to the front, and Concubine Yi's voice was quite loud, so Yixiu heard everything.

Most of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty were sent to Mongolia to marry.

In the previous life, Wen Xian was one of the only two princesses who did not marry into Mongolia, but Concubine De didn't know about this. I'm afraid Concubine Yi brought it up now to make Concubine De feel upset.

After all, Princess Wenxian is now old enough that it would be a matter of time for her to look for a marriage partner.

Yixiu noticed that Defei's expression had indeed changed.

Even if Princess Wenxian was not close to her, she was still her biological daughter. How could she not care about her?

Emperor Kangxi said: "This matter is not urgent. I still want to keep Wen Xian by my side for a few more years."

Concubine Yi didn't expect that Emperor Kangxi had this plan. She forced a smile and said, "The emperor is really very good to the princess."

Defei's brows relaxed a little, but she still felt annoyed.

She had children by her side in the harem and a high position. Both Yinzhen and Wenxian were loved by Emperor Kangxi. She should have had no worries, but she could never be happy.

Emperor Kangxi had many sons and competition in the harem was fierce. This environment was actually not a comfortable one.

Soon, Shu Fei came in.

Yixiu didn't have much impression of Shu Fei. After all, she only had one son, Prince Guo, and she had nothing to do with the fight for the throne.

Yixiu watched as Defei looked at Shufei with disdain, then walked out.

After Concubine De left, Yixiu also felt that the banquet was very boring, so she said goodbye to Yinzhen and left.

She had lived in the palace for more than ten years and was familiar with every flower and tree here.

Suddenly, she smelled the fragrance of magnolia, so she walked over and saw several beautifully blooming magnolia flowers.

But it was something she had never seen in her previous life.

By the way, in a few years, Emperor Kangxi will replace all the magnolias here with the albizzias that Shu Fei likes.

Emperor Kangxi had truly loved Empress Hesheli and Concubine Yi, and he would love Concubine Shu as well. Although the relationship between him and Concubine De was more of a respectful one, it could not stop Concubine De from giving birth to children one after another.

Whether it is the magnolia or the albizzia, they all look very ironic at this moment.

Yixiu thought of herself and Yinzhen again, and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Defei's voice.

It was nothing to hear Concubine De’s voice, but what Concubine De called was “Lord Longkodo”.

Yixiu paused as she was leaving, held her breath, lightened her steps, and walked towards where Defei was.

In his previous life, Yinzhen announced to the public that Longkodo died of illness, but after that, Defei fell seriously ill and her relationship with Yinzhen became distant. How could Yixiu not know this?

I’m afraid that the relationship between Concubine De and Longkodo is somewhat extraordinary.

Longkodo said, "De Fei, long time no see. You have lost weight."

Yixiu just felt that Longkodo's voice seemed a little annoying.

Her heart is now Ulanala Yixiu, who is in her fifties, so she naturally noticed the difference.

Would a serious minister care whether a concubine has lost weight?

Yixiu became a little bolder and moved forward again.

"Lord Longkodo is actually paying attention to whether I have lost weight."

De Fei paused for a moment, her voice full of bitterness, "Your Excellency has also experienced a lot of vicissitudes."

"When I'm outside the palace, I have to think about how to serve the emperor all the time, and I'm also thinking about you."

Yixiu: ???

Although Yixiu had some vague guesses in his mind, he was still so surprised when he heard Longkodo say this that he almost made a noise.

Yixiu felt that she seemed to have touched upon the truth. This tangled web of secret relationships really gave her a headache.

Yinzhen...Does Yinzhen know about this?

Yixiu guessed that he might know.

Otherwise, why would they settle accounts with Longkodo when he was as old as he was?

Although there are definitely political reasons, personal grudges may also be involved.

Yixiu didn't plan to listen any more, for she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold herself together in front of Concubine De next time.

Yixiu left here, and the voice of Concubine De was still behind her.

"I dare not think about you in the palace..."

Yixiu fled in panic.

I don’t know why, but when she found out about this, she became the most uncomfortable person - as if she had had a secret meeting with Longkodo.

Back at the banquet, Yinzhen asked, "Why did you take so long?"

Yixiu wanted to say that she went to see the magnolias, but after thinking for a while, she said, "I went to see the magnolias just now. On the way back, I saw the Tongjia guards, so I avoided them and took a detour back."

While saying this, Yixiu stared at Yinzhen, not missing any of his subtle expressions.

When mentioning the "Tongjia guards", Yinzhen's brows furrowed slightly, but soon calmed down.

Although Yinzhen soon changed the subject, Yixiu already understood that Yinzhen probably knew about the affair between Concubine De and Longkodo.

It seems that the strained relationship between Yinzhen and Defei was not due to their lack of closeness or the existence of Yinzhen.
