Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

On this day, an uninvited guest came to the mansion, looking very aggressive.

The people who came knocked on the door of the palace with great force, and the noise was so loud that the people inside the palace felt that the people who came had no manners or etiquette at all.

As soon as the guard opened the door, the man was kicked away by someone outside.

Soon, two rows of black-armored soldiers led the way, and a woman wearing a gorgeous yellowish dress and covered with purple pearls walked in. Two huge golden gems were inlaid on the uppers of the woman's shoes.

Looking up, the woman is wearing a huge yellow gemstone necklace around her neck. She has delicate makeup and double eyelids that make her look fierce. She has very thin lips under her high nose bridge.

She had her hair in a high bun, with a head full of golden pearls and jade. The tassels swayed with her steps, and even the ends of the tassels were made of golden gems. Under the sunlight, this woman's whole body was sparkling, looking very gorgeous and noble.

With the help of his personal servant, he walked step by step towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

The aura was beyond words and frightened the people in the palace to their knees and tremble all over.

This woman was none other than the current emperor's An Zhiyan, also known as Concubine Yan.

She and Concubine Da An Zhilu are twin sisters. The two sisters married the emperor and entered the palace on the same day.

A few years ago, the nineteenth child, Kim Woo-young, the twenty-first child, Kim Woo-jiu, the twenty-first child, Kim Woo-ye, and the twenty-second child, Kim Woo-sheng, were born.

The two sisters shared the same hatred for the enemy in the harem, had a very close relationship and a very good affection.

Concubine Yan only gave birth to the nineteenth prince, Jin Yourong, and the other three were born to Concubine Da An Zhilu. However, since Concubine Da had a little difficulty in raising three princes, Jin Youjiu was fostered in the care of Concubine Yan. The two sisters raised the four princes together, without any distinction between you and me.

Soon, Concubine Yan An Zhiyan walked to the inner hall of the palace and loudly asked the servants kneeling in front of her: "Where is Prince Yan'an?"

The servant in charge said tremblingly, "Reply, report to Concubine Yan, the prince has gone out for something and has been away from the palace for three days."

Concubine Yan An Zhixuan put down her teacup with a thud and said, "Oh, he was quite busy. I was caught empty-handed."

The servants below didn't dare to speak.

Concubine Yan stood up and asked again, "Where is the girl called Xing Yun?"

The servant in charge immediately replied, "In the prince's Xuanjiyuan."

Concubine Yan said with a cold face: "Take me to Xuanjiyuan."

The servant quickly replied: "Yes, Madam Yan Fei."

Concubine Yan An Zhiyan went to Xuanjiyuan in a rage, and the news soon reached Li Yingying who was lying down reading a book.

As soon as the maid finished her report, Li Yingying put down the book in her hand in surprise and said happily: "Really? Concubine Yan is here? That's great, father is worthy of being father, humph, let's wait and see the show!"

Soon Concubine Yan arrived at the gate of Xuanjiyuan.

Concubine Yan An Zhiyan looked up at Xuanjiyuan with a fierce look in her eyes.

Finally here, I can finally see the legendary vixen.

The foxy woman who caused unrest inside and outside the Yan'an Palace, Xing Yun, just wanted to see what kind of person this woman was, causing unrest in her son's palace and in the backyard.

Who is this evil woman who has caused unrest in the backyard of the imperial palace in Cangdu City and even in the previous dynasty?

This causes various problems for the people under his command.

Whether it was Duke Li, the Fu family, the Xu family, etc., they all kept writing to her, asking her to deal with this girl.

She thought her son was just obsessed like before and doted on a woman for a short period of time.

I didn't expect that this doting would last for more than half a year.

Because of the many troubles that had arisen since her son doted on this woman, she, as a mother, had to go around putting out fires.

Together with her sister, Concubine Da An Zhilu, they helped put out fires everywhere and tried their best to maintain their base in the court which they had maintained with great difficulty through marriage.

Only he, as a mother, knows best the hardships and sadness involved.

The business that we have worked so hard to build over the years cannot be ruined by this woman.

Zhou Xinyue was drinking water when Xiaomei hurried in to report that Jin Yourong's mother had arrived. Zhou Xinyue was so scared that she quickly got up and went to the yard to prepare to welcome Concubine Yan.

Concubine Yan was filled with rage. She gave a look to her subordinates, and several black-armored soldiers kicked open the door of Xuanjiyuan.

All the people in Xuanjiyuan knelt down to greet them.

Zhou Xinyue was startled by the sound before she even walked into the yard.

When Zhou Xinyue rushed to the yard, she saw Concubine Yan had already entered and was standing in the middle of the yard.

Zhou Xinyue hurried over, knelt down with difficulty, and said, "Welcome to Her Majesty Concubine Yan. Best wishes to Her Majesty."

Concubine Yan was furious when she saw the woman in front of her who was wearing a white base, a purple veil, her hair casually tied up, and no makeup.

The woman was kneeling, pregnant.

Concubine Yan walked straight into the flower hall in the courtyard and sat down. The servant hurriedly served her tea, but the servant knocked over the teacup in an instant and threw it into the corner.

Concubine Yan's personal servant took out high-end tea sets and brewed the famous tea used in the imperial palace. She refused to drink the wild tea from outside.

Concubine Yan sipped her tea leisurely, looking at Zhou Xinyue who was still kneeling in the yard, and surveying her from head to toe.

I don’t know how long I drank tea, but Zhou Xinyue couldn’t hold on any longer and fell to the ground.

Concubine Yan said slowly, "You are not paying your respects attentively enough. Go, Prince, and slap me ten times in the face."

"Yes." Nanny Wang walked over and had someone hold Zhou Xinyue and slap her ten times.

Concubine Yan said slowly, "Bring it here."

Zhou Xinyue was carried into the flower hall by two servants, with her brows lowered in discomfort.

Concubine Yan looked the woman up and down and saw that she was pale, but apart from the red and swollen fingerprints on her face, her facial features were indeed pretty.

No wonder her son doted on this woman so much that he even went against her wishes again and again.

Concubine Yan said slowly, "All outsiders please leave."

As soon as Concubine Yan finished speaking, everyone in the flower hall left, leaving only one servant.

Zhou Xinyue sat on the ground because of her heavy body.

Concubine Yan stood up, circled around Zhou Xinyue twice and said, "Xingyun, I finally see the legendary you. Do you know how many times my son has disobeyed my will for you? Do you know how much trouble you have brought to me?"

Zhou Xinyue said gently: "In reply to your Majesty, I have no intention of doing so."

Concubine Yan continued, "Do you know how many years I have been managing the court? How much sweat I have put in to make Rong'er what he is today. Now the court is turbulent, and I guess you also know that every move I make is a matter of life and death. So I have to take the overall situation into consideration in many things."

There were beads of sweat on Zhou Xinyue's forehead. She was very tired, but she still concentrated her energy and tried her best to deal with Concubine Yan An Zhiyan.

Because Zhou Xinyue knew that if she couldn't handle it well, she would lose her life.

"I know."

"Know? You turned my son's palace upside down. You made Rong'er refuse the marriage for you. You almost destroyed the results of his years of management. If it weren't for me, Concubine Da, Youyuan, Yousheng, and Youjiu doing our best to protect him, he would have been dead long ago."
