Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"Rou'er, if you encounter any problems in the future, you must tell your mother first. Okay?" Concubine Hua hugged Hua Lerou tightly, her tone gentle but firm. She knew her daughter was still young, but she also hoped that she could learn to protect herself.

Hua Lerou nodded obediently, tears flashing in her eyes: "Yes, mother."

Concubine Hua looked at her daughter distressedly, feeling guilty. She gently stroked Hua Lerou's hair and said softly, "Rou'er, sleep with mother tonight, okay?"

Hua Lerou hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "...Yeah."

Concubine Hua smiled and picked up Hua Lerou, walking to the bed. She gently put Hua Lerou on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then lay down beside her. Hua Lerou snuggled in her mother's arms, feeling her mother's warmth and comfort.

Concubine Hua gently patted Hua Lerou's back and said softly, "Rou'er, don't be afraid. Mother is here."

Hua Lerou closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep. Concubine Hua looked at her daughter's face quietly and swore in her heart that she must protect her well and prevent her from being hurt again.

——Lanyuexuan

Lu Qingqing was like a fish in water in the palace. Not only did she successfully give birth to a pair of twins, but she was also very much loved. However, not long after she finished her confinement, she heard a piece of news: a new concubine, Concubine Chun, had come to the palace and was said to be very much loved by the emperor.

In response, Lu Qingqing said disapprovingly: "So what if you are favored? Only if you can give birth to a prince, that is considered a real talent!"

The maid beside her echoed: "Your Highness is right."

Then, Lu Qingqing ordered: "Get ready, I'm going to take a bath. By the way, where will the emperor stay tonight?"

The maid replied: "As far as I know, the Queen is not feeling well today, so the Emperor will probably stay in Changchun Palace."

Lu Qingqing sneered, "I can't believe it. Now even the Queen needs to compete for the Emperor's favor to keep his heart. Haha..."

The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Lu Qingqing was holding her son, the second prince, who had just turned one month old. The personal maid hurried in, and she first bowed to Lu Qingqing, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor stayed in the queen's palace last night, but it was not the queen who slept with him."

Lu Qingqing was slightly startled when she heard this, then raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? Then who is sleeping with her? Is it a maid in the Queen's palace?"

The maid shook her head and whispered, "No, madam. I heard it was Zhu Lina, the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor."

Hearing this name, Lu Qingqing's eyes became sharp. She sneered and said, "Humph! I didn't expect the queen to use such means to win favor. But..." She paused, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "Zhu Lina is just a little granddaughter of the imperial tutor. Does the queen think that she can regain the emperor's favor by relying on her? How ridiculous!"

After saying that, Lu Qingqing turned her attention back to the child in her arms, gently stroked his cheek, and said softly: "No matter what, the most important thing for me now is to take good care of our little prince. As long as I have a prince, I will not be afraid of being deprived of my favor by other women."

The maid beside her nodded obediently and said, "Your Majesty is right. As long as you take good care of the little prince, you will definitely get more favor from the emperor in the future."

However, Lu Qingqing had another plan in mind.

"Go and find out if what happened last night is true." Lu Qingqing ordered expressionlessly. She would never allow anyone to ruin her plan.

Not long after, the maid came back and reported: "It is true. It is said that the emperor went to the queen's palace last night and directly asked Zhu Lina to serve in the bedroom."

Lu Qingqing sneered, thinking that the queen was really unscrupulous, finding a woman outside the palace to consolidate her favor. But she was not worried, after all, she gave birth to the second prince.

At this moment, Lu Qingqing looked at the lovely child in her arms with a motherly smile on her face. However, there was a shrewdness in her eyes. She knew that in this deep palace, only constant fighting could help one survive. And she had already made preparations...

——Side Hall of Changchun Palace

"Empress, why are you doing this?" the nanny said with a frown.

"The Emperor never loved me. He married me only to raise Yuer better. Now many people in the harem have their own children, but I still have no children." The Queen replied with a lonely look on her face.

"My queen, that cousin won't steal your favor, right?" the nanny asked worriedly.

"It doesn't matter. No matter how favored she is, she will never surpass me." The queen said confidently.

At this time, a eunuch hurried over and reported to the queen: "Your Majesty, the emperor asked the eunuch chief to take my cousin to Roufu Palace."

"Understood." The queen nodded slightly.

After the eunuch left, the nanny couldn't help but exclaimed: "Madam, the emperor actually gave her a concubine title!"

"After all, she is my cousin. No matter what, she should be a concubine." The queen replied calmly.

"But, Roufu Palace has always been a place where only concubines can live..." The nanny looked puzzled.

"Yes, Roufu Palace has always been the palace where concubines live, but this time the emperor gave it to Lina. It seems that the emperor really values ​​her." The queen said thoughtfully.

A flash of jealousy flashed across the queen's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. She knew very well that in this palace, favor was like a floating cloud, fleeting. So, she decided to temporarily put aside her unhappiness and go visit the newly promoted concubine.

Arriving at Roufu Palace, the Queen saw Zhu Lina, who had dressed up carefully, and was indeed beautiful. The Queen smiled and congratulated Zhu Lina, and rewarded her with some precious jewels. On the surface, they were having a good time, but they both knew that this palace fight had just begun...

After the Queen exchanged greetings with Zhu Lina, they left Roufu Palace. On the way, the nanny said indignantly: "Madam, why are you so polite to her?" The Queen sneered: "I am the master of the six palaces, how can I allow a little concubine like her to ride on my head. The most urgent task now is to find a way to conceive a dragon descendant."

After returning to the palace, the queen immediately summoned the imperial physician to ask for advice on how to take care of her body. The imperial physician flattered her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will do my best. As long as Your Majesty follows my prescription and takes the medicine to recuperate, you will get what you want."

Since then, the queen has taken medicine on time every day, hoping to conceive an heir as soon as possible. At the same time, she also closely follows Zhu Lina's every move, waiting for the opportunity...

Time passed quickly, and a month later, two pieces of news came from the harem.
