Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

———Jingguo

"Your Majesty, is it time to prepare for the Second Prince's wedding banquet?" The Queen smiled and asked softly. Her eyes fell gently on the Emperor, expecting his response.

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Well... I do intend for them to get married as soon as possible, but I still need to consider the specific time arrangement."

The queen nodded slightly and continued, "I heard that the second princess of Yue Kingdom invites the second prince out for outings every day, and the two get along very well." Her eyes revealed a hint of joy and satisfaction.

Upon hearing this, the emperor looked up in surprise and asked, "Is this true?" There was some curiosity in his tone.

The queen smiled and replied, "Yes, I also heard it from the palace maids around me. It seems that the second prince and the second princess have developed a deep affection for each other." There was a gleam of joy in her eyes.

The emperor nodded in agreement. The queen continued, "I really like the second princess. She is smart, beautiful and charming. She is a perfect match for the second prince!" Her voice was full of admiration for the second princess.

The emperor smiled and said, "In that case, let's prepare for the wedding as soon as possible so that they can get married soon." His eyes revealed his expectation and blessing for this marriage.

The queen nodded happily, "Let's also arrange the marriage of Prince Lan and Gongsun Yuechan together!"

"There's no rush for this. The Imperial Concubine still wants a concubine. Let me find one for Prince Lan."

The queen's face changed slightly, and she said with a forced smile, "The Imperial Concubine has thought it through carefully. But Gongsun Yuechan is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. If we get married together, it may cause discussion in the court." The emperor glanced at the queen and said lightly, "What's the difficulty? Just tell others that Prince Lan is taking a concubine." The queen's heart sank, knowing that it was useless to say more, so she lowered her head and replied, "Your Majesty is wise." As she turned to leave, a fierce look flashed in the queen's eyes.

She decided to investigate this imperial concubine carefully to find out what her real plan was.

Gongsun Xihua learned in Gongsun Mansion that the Royal Concubine had not yet interrupted the plan to help Prince Lan marry her, and was already going to marry her own sister. She had even promised to help her eldest son, Prince Lan, win the position of crown prince, but still would not let her go.

Gongsun Xihua sent a letter to the palace to find the queen. She told the queen that the imperial concubine forced her to do everything. The queen frowned and said, "I didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so aggressive." There was a hint of anger in her voice.

"Your Majesty, what should I do now? His Royal Highness Prince Lan's marriage is a foregone conclusion, but my sister..." Gongsun Xihua was in tears, making people feel pity for her.

The queen pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way. The Royal Concubine is going too far, I will not sit idly by." A hint of determination flashed in her eyes.

Gongsun Xihua burst into tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Madam."

The queen patted her hands and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will keep you safe."

A few days later, a grand banquet was held in the palace, and the queen specially invited Gongsun Xihua and Gongsun Yuechan to attend.

At the banquet, the Queen praised Gongsun Xihua's talent and character in front of everyone, and hinted that she was the rightful wife of Prince Jin. She also hinted that Gongsun Yuechan and Prince Lan's marriage was imminent!

Prince Jin was particularly happy to learn that his mother had praised Gongsun Xihua in public. He secretly thought that they were finally going to settle down. But did his father agree? He was supposed to marry the second princess of Yue, but she fell in love with his second brother. God really helped me!

After the banquet, Prince Jin found the Queen and asked about his marriage with Gongsun Xihua. The Queen smiled and said, "I have already mentioned it to His Majesty, and His Majesty is quite in favor of it. When an auspicious day is chosen, I will grant you two a marriage." Prince Jin was overjoyed and thanked the Queen immediately.

It seems that the emperor still respects the queen, otherwise the two daughters of the Gongsun family would be imperial concubines.

After Prince Jin left, the Queen's personal maid asked in confusion, "Your Majesty, why do you like Gongsun Xihua so much?" The Queen raised her lips slightly, "Jin'er is in love with her. If this marriage can be facilitated, it will be a good story. Besides, Gongsun Xihua is extremely intelligent and may become Jin'er's right-hand man." The maid suddenly realized, "So your Majesty has other intentions." The Queen nodded slightly, "Not only that, I also want to take this opportunity to suppress the arrogance of the Imperial Concubine. She thinks she can control everything, but I want to let her know that there is still a place for me in the harem." After that, a shrewd look flashed in the Queen's eyes.

A few days later, the emperor decreed that Prince Jin and Gongsun Xihua get married, and the wedding date is set for next month. Gongsun's house is decorated with lights and there is a festive atmosphere. However, the imperial concubine is so angry that she smashes the teacup.

"Damn it! They let that bitch Gongsun Xihua marry Prince Jin!" the Imperial Concubine said gritting her teeth.

She originally planned to marry Gongsun Xihua to Prince Lan, and then let Gongsun Yuechan become Prince Lan's concubine, so that they could both obtain the Phoenix Life. But now that all her plans were disrupted, how could she be willing?

The Imperial Concubine decided to sabotage Gongsun Xihua's wedding...

———The country is overwhelmed

Hua Xiulan carried Jun Yao into the palace to see the Empress Dowager. As soon as the little guy saw the Empress Dowager, he broke free from his mother's arms, ran to her and threw himself into her arms.

The Empress Dowager was extremely happy. She hugged him and said with a smile, "Good boy Yao'er! Let me see if you have grown taller."

Jun Yao was held in the arms of the Empress Dowager. His big eyes were rolling around, and his little mouth was wide open, revealing two cute little fangs. He looked very happy.

Hua Xiulan smiled and walked to the side of the Grand Empress Dowager, sat down, and asked softly, "Grandmother, are you feeling well?"

The Empress Dowager smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits, and replied, "Lan'er, I'm fine! Look!" As she spoke, she patted her legs to show that she was in good health.

"Grandmother, if you have any problem, please tell your granddaughter. Don't try to hold on by yourself!" Hua Xiulan said with a worried look on her face.

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes: "It's okay, child. My old bones have experienced countless storms and it's not easy to fall down. Even if it's really time for me to go, I can rest assured to accompany the late emperor."

When Hua Xiulan heard this, she was so anxious that tears almost fell from her eyes: "Grandmother, how can you say such an unlucky thing? You will definitely live a long life, and your granddaughter wants to spend more time with you!" She held the Empress Dowager's hand tightly, hoping to give her some strength and warmth.

"Okay, okay! I won't tell you. I still want to see Yu'er and Yao'er get married!" After hearing this, the Empress Dowager smiled with relief and tears flashed in her eyes. She held the Queen's hand tightly and said that she would continue to support them.

"That's right!" Hua Xiulan also breathed a sigh of relief and responded with a smile. She knew that the Empress Dowager had always loved them and hoped that they would be happy.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. Then, a palace maid came in, bowed to the Queen and the Grand Empress Dowager, and said, "Grand Empress Dowager, the virtuous concubine requests an audience!"

The Empress Dowager was slightly startled, wondering why Concubine Xian came suddenly? However, she quickly reacted and nodded to let Concubine Xian come in. Then, Concubine Xian walked into the room, and when she saw the Empress Dowager, she quickly saluted.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager!" said Concubine Xian respectfully.

Hua Xiulan brought Jun Yao to pay respect to Concubine Dowager Xian, "Mother is here!"

The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded, motioning for Concubine Xian to stand up. Then she asked, "What is the purpose of Concubine Xian's visit today?"

Concubine Xian smiled slightly and bowed her head and said, "I miss Yao'er. I heard that Lan'er brought Yao'er to the palace to see the Grand Empress Dowager. I also miss the Grand Empress Dowager for a long time, so I came here."

The Empress Dowager smiled softly and said gently, "The Concubine Xian is really thoughtful. In this case, let Yaoer stay here with us for a while." After that, she turned to look at Jun Yao, her eyes full of love, and asked softly, "Yaoer, are you willing to stay in the palace to accompany Grandmother?"

Jun Yao nodded obediently and answered crisply: "Yao'er is willing!" His eyes were clear and bright, which made people love him.

The Empress Dowager smiled with satisfaction, reached out and touched Jun Yao's head, and said gently: "Okay, then Yao'er will stay here for a few more days and accompany Grandmother."

Hua Xiulan watched this scene, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that the Queen Mother's love and care for Jun Yao was not only because he was of royal blood, but also because he was innocent, cute, smart, and clever, which made people want to pamper him.

The Concubine Dowager Xian watched quietly from the side with a gratified smile on her face. She knew that the Empress Dowager would definitely take good care of Jun Yao and make him feel endless warmth and love.

At this tender moment, the palace was filled with a warm atmosphere. Everyone was immersed in this strong family affection and felt the warmth and harmony of the family.
