Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"Mother, why do you want to raise her?" Hua Lerou looked at Concubine Hua with some confusion, her eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

"Be good, Rou'er. Qi'er is your sister." Concubine Hua gently touched Hua Lerou's head, trying to calm her down.

However, Hua Lerou did not appreciate it. She frowned and said angrily, "She is not my mother's daughter!"

Concubine Hua frowned slightly and said in a reproachful tone, "Rou'er, you are only two years old, why are you so jealous?"

Hua Lerou lowered her head and muttered softly: "But I don't like her..."

Hua Fei sighed, patted Hua Lerou's shoulder gently, and said earnestly: "Rou'er, you are the elder sister, you should take care of your younger sister more, understand?"

Hua Lerou was silent for a while, but finally nodded and replied obediently: "Okay, mother, Rouer will take good care of my sister."

Hua Fei nodded with satisfaction, smiled happily, and continued: "This is my good daughter. From now on, our family must love each other."

Hua Lerou nodded vigorously and secretly made up her mind to be a good sister and make her mother happy.

——Rou Fu Palace

Lipin was sitting at the table, eating exquisite dishes while admiring the flowers blooming outside the window. At this time, the eunuch's voice came from outside the door: "Madam Lipin, the Queen Mother asks you to come over."

Lipin put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth gently, and said with a smile: "I understand. I will go right away."

She stood up, turned around and asked the palace maid Luoyi beside her: "Luoyi, can you show me this dress? Is it suitable for meeting the Queen Mother?"

Luo Yi hurried forward, took a closer look at Lipin's clothes, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you look the most beautiful in any dress!"

After hearing this, Lipin nodded with satisfaction and said coquettishly, "Slippery tongue. Let's go."

After saying that, Lipin opened the door and walked out gracefully. Luoyi followed behind her.

The two of them walked all the way to the Imperial Garden, and suddenly saw a woman and a palace maid walking towards the Empress Dowager's palace in front of them.

Lipin stopped and asked Luoyi curiously: "Luoyi, who is the master in the palace?"

Luo Yi replied, "Your Majesty, that is Concubine Chun. You haven't left the palace for a month. Naturally you wouldn't recognize her."

Lipin sneered and said disdainfully: "It turned out to be Concubine Chun. Look at her, she is really arrogant." Luoyi quickly agreed: "Your Majesty is right. Concubine Chun is just relying on the emperor's favor. How can she compare to your natural beauty, who is deeply loved by the emperor." After hearing this, Lipin's mood immediately improved, and she continued to walk towards the Empress Dowager's palace.

When they arrived at the Queen Mother's palace, Lipin greeted the Queen Mother and sat aside. The Queen Mother looked at Lipin and smiled and asked, "Are you used to being in the palace these days?" Lipin replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am fine."

The Queen Mother nodded and continued, "Nowadays, there are many things to do in the harem. I am old and a little overwhelmed. In the future, I will need you sisters to assist the Emperor and manage the harem." Concubine Chun and Concubine Li stood up quickly and said respectfully, "I will do my best to help the Emperor manage the harem."

At this time, Concubine Chun interrupted and said, "Empress Dowager, I think that the management of the harem should be presided over by You. I am willing to fully assist You and share the worries for the Emperor." Concubine Li was secretly resentful. She wanted to show off in front of the Empress Dowager, but Concubine Chun stole the limelight.

The Queen Mother nodded slightly, indicating her agreement with Concubine Chun's words. Seeing this, Concubine Li said unwillingly, "Queen Mother, I am also willing to share the Queen Mother's worries and do my part for the Emperor."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "That's great. You two are the Emperor's concubines, and you should work together to maintain the peace of the harem." Then, the Queen Mother turned to look at Concubine Li and asked, "I heard that you were ill a few days ago. Are you feeling better now?"

Lipin was moved to tears and quickly replied, "Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. I'm fine now." The Queen Mother advised, "You're in good health. Don't overwork yourself. You need to take good care of yourself." Lipin nodded in agreement.

After that, the concubines chatted with the Queen Mother for a while, and then returned to the palace. After leaving the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lipin glared at Concubine Chun fiercely and said to Luoyi indignantly: "Humph! This Concubine Chun, she always opposes me, how annoying!"

"Master, don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry." Luoyi comforted.

"How can I not be angry!" Lipin gnashed her teeth and said, "That bitch, Concubine Chun, has ruined my plans time and again!"

"Master, calm down. We will have plenty of opportunities in the future." Luo Yi calmed Lipin down while offering advice, "The most important thing right now is to please the Queen Mother. As long as the Queen Mother values ​​you, there's no need to worry about Concubine Chun causing any trouble."

After hearing this, Lipin felt that it made sense and her mood calmed down a little.

“But…” Luo Yi hesitated to speak.

"But what? Just say it if you have something to say!" Lipin frowned.

"I heard that Concubine Chun has been visiting the Empress Dowager's palace frequently recently." Luoyi said in a low voice.

Lipin's eyes turned cold, "Is she trying to curry favor with the Queen Mother?"

"It seems that Concubine Chun is very scheming. Master, we have to be on guard." Luoyi reminded.

Concubine Li snorted coldly, "I know what to do." She thought to herself that she must find a way to destroy the relationship between Concubine Chun and the Queen Mother.

The current situation in the harem is turbulent. The queen has been abolished, Concubine Hua has fallen out of favor, Concubine Jing is also not favored, and even Concubine Lu has been demoted to a commoner. Now, only Concubine Chun and Concubine Li can stand out in this harem.

"I am not in a hurry. After all, the dragon fetus in my belly will bring me a promotion." Lipin thought to herself, but she did not relax her vigilance and reminded herself: "But we must not take it lightly."

She turned to the maid beside her and ordered, "Go and find out what Concubine Chun and the Queen Mother talked about."

"Yes, my master." The maid dropped her clothes and left as ordered.

Lipin gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, with a hint of pride in her eyes.

At the same time, Concubine Chun was also thinking about how to deal with Concubine Li's provocation.

This harem battle is just the beginning...

The Queen Mother paced thoughtfully in the Cining Palace, thinking about how to get the Emperor to choose Lipin as the Queen. After all, Lipin was the legitimate granddaughter of the Imperial Tutor and had a prominent status. In contrast, Concubine Chun was just the legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Central Secretariat. However, the Emperor seemed to have a special liking for Concubine Chun and even gave the Second Prince to her for raising. The Queen Mother couldn't help but sigh that it seemed that the Emperor already had his own plans, which made her feel a little helpless.

The Queen Mother knew that the Emperor had unique insights and ways of handling matters in the harem, but she also understood that as the Queen Mother, she had to consider the interests and stability of the country.

So, she secretly wondered in her heart, should she hold another beauty pageant for the emperor? After all, the emperor had too few children, which was not a good thing for the continuation of the royal family. Thinking of this, the queen mother decided to find a suitable time to talk to the emperor about this issue.

At the same time, in the distant Jing Kingdom, an important matter was being discussed in the court. A minister respectfully advised the Emperor of Jing Kingdom: "Your Majesty, I think Princess Roujia can go to marry into the country."

The emperor frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked, "Oh? Why do you say that, my dear?"

The minister quickly explained: "Princess Roujia was originally engaged to the prince of Ding'an, but it was unfinished because of the war. Now that the second princess of Yue has married our prince Cang, it is only natural for our princess to marry the prince of Ding'an." These words made the emperor of Jing fall into deep thought...
