Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

The emperor knew that Jun Moli was ambitious, but he didn't know that his most beloved daughter had also rebelled.

"Xiao Xizi, do you think Lan'er will..." The emperor sat in the imperial study, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and doubt.

Eunuch Xi stood aside, not daring to answer the question easily. He knew very well that the emperor loved Princess Zhaoyang, but he was not sure whether the princess would betray the emperor. So he said carefully: "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang is your most beloved daughter, she is already the most noble princess. It shouldn't be..." However, his voice was a little uncertain.

The emperor frowned, thinking about what Eunuch Xi said. He thought of the little things he had experienced with Hua Xiulan in the past. She had always been a smart, filial and well-behaved child. But now, facing the turbulent situation in the court, people's hearts are unpredictable, and even he himself began to doubt.

The emperor sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky in the distance. He was filled with helplessness and worry, not knowing how to deal with the situation in front of him. Eunuch Xi stood aside silently, not daring to disturb the emperor's thoughts.

The emperor turned to look at Eunuch Xi, his eyes flashing with determination, "No matter what, I must protect Lan'er. Little Xizi, pass on my order to send more people to secretly protect Princess Zhaoyang. If anyone dares to hurt her, kill them without mercy!"

Eunuch Xi hurriedly knelt down to receive the order, "I obey your order!" He knew in his heart that the emperor gave such an order because he was worried about Princess Zhaoyang's safety.

After Eunuch Xi left, the emperor sat back in his chair and rubbed his brows. Although he believed that Lan'er would not betray him, the struggle in the palace was becoming more and more intense, and he had to be on guard.

At this moment, a noise came from outside the palace, breaking the emperor's meditation. He frowned slightly, "Someone, go and see what happened outside."

Soon, the guards came to report, "Your Majesty, it is the father of Concubine Shu, General Weiwu, who wants to see you."

The emperor had an ominous feeling in his heart, "Call him in."

The mighty general entered the hall, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty!" The emperor looked at him coldly, "General, why are you asking for an audience at this time?" "Your Majesty, I heard that there were some false remarks in the court recently about my daughter, the Concubine Shu. I implore Your Majesty to look into this matter!" The mighty general said with a righteous face.

The emperor knew in his heart that this was just an excuse. He narrowed his eyes slightly, "General, I also hope that this is just a rumor. But the current situation is turbulent, and any disturbance may affect the stability of the court. As an important official in the court, you should set an example."

The mighty general's face changed slightly, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty and have no second thoughts! If someone maliciously slanders me, I am willing to confront him face to face!" The emperor waved his hand, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If the general has nothing else to say, please withdraw."

After the mighty general left, the emperor felt even more depressed. He originally thought it was just a dispute in the harem, but he didn't expect it to involve the previous dynasty. It seems that the water in the palace is deeper than he thought.

In recent days, there have been reports from the harem that Concubine Shu has been arrogant and bullying several new concubines. Somehow, the news reached General Weiwu.

The emperor decided to visit the newly-appointed concubines in person to find out the truth. He arrived at the concubines' palaces and saw that they all looked haggard and were obviously frightened. The emperor asked them what happened, and the concubines cried and complained about the evil deeds of Concubine Shu. The emperor was furious after hearing this. He did not expect Concubine Shu to be so bold.

The emperor immediately summoned Concubine Shu and severely questioned her why she bullied other concubines. Concubine Shu denied it and insisted that she was wronged. Seeing that she refused to admit it, the emperor put the testimonies of the concubines in front of her.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu knew she could no longer deny it, so she had to kneel down and beg for mercy. The emperor looked at Concubine Shu with disappointment and confined her to her home for three months as a punishment.

After that, the emperor strengthened the management of the harem and strictly prohibited similar incidents from happening again. At the same time, he was more vigilant against the intrigues in the palace, so as not to be blinded by the desire for power.

The relationship between Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang became closer and closer. Concubine Liang gave birth to a son who was a fool. He was already one and a half years old, but he still couldn't call his father the emperor and mother the concubine. He could only say "ah, ah". The emperor looked at his foolish son with a lot of worries in his heart. Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang often took care of the little prince together, showing their loving motherly attitude.

One day, Concubine Xian found that the little prince was smiling happily at a butterfly. She suddenly had an idea and proposed to teach the little prince to speak. The two began to patiently guide the little prince, starting with simple pronunciation.

As time went by, the little prince finally learned to call "Father Emperor" and "Mother Concubine", which made Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang burst into tears. When the emperor learned about it, he was very pleased and praised Concubine Xian and Concubine Liang, and rewarded them with many precious items.

However, all this was seen by Concubine Shu, and jealousy burned in her heart. She secretly vowed to regain the emperor's favor.

Hua Xiulan was very happy to learn that her brother could speak, so she decided to bring some folk toys into the palace to share the joy with her brother.

When she stepped into the palace gate, she heard the little prince's cheerful voice: "Father, Mother. Father, Mother."

The little prince was seen running excitedly in the palace in an exquisite robe, holding a small and exquisite rattle in his hand, shaking it while running, making a clear and pleasant sound. His face was filled with an innocent smile, and his eyes were shining with curiosity and happiness.

Seeing her brother so happy, Hua Xiulan felt warm in her heart. She walked to her brother, stroked his hair gently, and said with a smile, "Brother, I'm here to see you! Look what fun things I brought you."

The little prince stopped and looked up at Hua Xiulan, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He stretched out his little hand, took the toy that Hua Xiulan handed to him, and looked at it carefully. These toys were carefully selected by Hua Xiulan, including painted wooden tops, exquisite cloth dolls, etc. The little prince couldn't put down every toy, and kept fiddling with them, and his laughter echoed in the palace.

Hua Xiulan sat aside, watching her brother playing happily, and felt particularly happy.
