Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Outside the gate of Jianfu Palace, the sun was shining brightly, illuminating the entire square in front of the palace. Concubine Liang stood there, anxiously waiting for the emperor to send her son Hua Kun back.

"Your Highness, please go in and wait." The palace maid beside her advised softly.

Concubine Liang shook her head gently, her eyes full of worry: "It's okay. Kun'er has never been away from me for so long since he was a child. I'm really worried about him."

Just then, there was a noise at the door.

"The Emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's sharp voice cut through the air.

Concubine Liang quickly straightened her clothes and went forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, your servant greets you." Concubine Liang bowed respectfully.

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, Concubine."

Before he finished speaking, a small figure rushed out from behind the emperor and went straight to Concubine Liang.

"Mother," Hua Kun shouted excitedly and threw himself into the arms of Concubine Liang.

Concubine Liang hugged him tightly, tears flashing in her eyes, and said excitedly: "My Kun'er, you are finally back."

The emperor looked at the intimacy between the mother and son, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Kun'er, tell your mother quickly how you are doing outside the palace?" Concubine Liang asked with concern.

"Mother, I am doing well outside the palace. My royal brother is also very good to me and even teaches me how to read and write!" Hua Kun said proudly.

The emperor smiled and patted Hua Kun's head, saying, "Kun'er is smart and clever, I like him very much. You can come to Chengqian Palace to play often when you have time in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Concubine Liang was so grateful that she pulled Hua Kun to kneel down and kowtow again.

Afterwards, Concubine Liang took Hua Kun into Jianfu Palace, asking about their well-being along the way. The emperor stood there, looking at their backs, thinking.

"Your Majesty, are you ready to return to the palace?" the eunuch asked in a low voice.

"Yes." The emperor nodded and turned to leave. He knew that Concubine Liang's son Hua Kun might become a shining star in the future. And he would train this child well and let him contribute to the country.

……

"Draft an edict!" The emperor sat on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face, looking firmly at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch knelt down and responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor went on to say, "The late emperor's sixth son, Hua Kun, is a man of both talent and virtue, and of outstanding character and appearance. I like him very much, and I hereby confer the title of King of Huai on him." His voice echoed in the palace, carrying an authority that could not be disobeyed.

The eunuchs recorded the emperor's orders respectfully.

The emperor continued, "Grant him the fief of Liuzhou, which will be hereditary and he will enjoy the honor of a prince." His words were full of admiration and trust for Hua Kun.

The eunuch carefully presented the imperial edict to the emperor for review. After the emperor confirmed that it was correct, he stamped it with a bright red seal.

This imperial edict meant that Hua Kun became the King of Huai, with his own fiefdom and the status of a prince.

The imperial edict was sent to Jianfu Palace. Concubine Liang and Hua Kun were both distracted when they received it.

The eunuch whispered, "Empress Dowager Liang, Prince Huai, please accept the order."

The two men came to their senses and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

The eunuch continued to read, "There is one more thing. The Huai Wang Mansion is already under construction. When the prince reaches adulthood, he can leave the palace."

Hearing this, Hua Kun showed a hint of joy on his face, but he still suppressed his excitement and said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, he handed it to Hua Kun and turned to leave. Concubine Liang and Hua Kun stood up, their hearts filled with joy.

Concubine Liang looked at the imperial edict in her hand and was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that the emperor would love us so much. The emperor's grace is so great!"

Hua Kun was also very excited: "Yes, mother. When I leave the palace, I will definitely repay my brother's kindness."

Concubine Liang nodded with satisfaction: "My dear son, it is enough that you have this intention. In the future, you should serve the court more and do not disappoint the emperor's expectations of you."

Hua Kun nodded heavily: "Your son understands, and he will live up to the emperor's trust." He knew that this gift was hard-won, and he was determined to study hard and become a useful talent in the future and live up to the emperor's trust.

At this time, Concubine Liang and Hua Kun were in a particularly happy mood. They were looking forward to their future life and believed that everything would get better and better. And all this was because of the emperor's favor and care.

Hua Kun was a lunatic before, but now he is almost recovered and has been crowned a king. Congratulations! The late emperor will be very happy too.

——Prince Duan’s Mansion

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince has been canonized as Prince of Huai." The aide reported the news respectfully.

"The one born to Concubine Liang?" Princess Duan asked in surprise, with a hint of confusion and curiosity in her eyes.

"That's right." Prince Duan nodded, his expression seeming a little thoughtful.

"That's not what I heard..." Princess Duan hesitated to speak. She rubbed her fingers on the right side of her head.

"Hmm?" Prince Duan looked at Princess Duan, waiting for her to continue.

"I heard that the Sixth Prince has been weak and withdrawn since childhood and is not very favored." Princess Duan finally expressed her doubts.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would be canonized as Prince of Huai this time." Prince Duan frowned, secretly pondering the reason in his heart.

"Could it be because the emperor has a preference for Prince Huai?" The aide proposed a possibility.

"Maybe, but there may be other reasons." Prince Duan shook his head, thinking that things would not be that simple.

The three of them fell into silence, each thinking about the possible hidden meaning behind this incident.

"No matter what, we must deal with it carefully." Prince Duan said in a serious tone.

At this time, a servant came hurriedly, bowed and handed over a letter.

Prince Duan took the letter and his face turned gloomy after reading it.

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Princess Duan asked anxiously.

"This is a secret letter sent from the palace, saying that the emperor intends to let the princes participate in state affairs." Prince Duan handed the letter to Princess Duan.

After reading the letter, Princess Duan's eyes flashed with worry: "What should we do? The prince is still young and is not familiar with the affairs of the court."

"I think this is an opportunity." A shrewd look flashed in the aide's eyes. "If the prince can make a name for himself in the government, he will surely be favored by the emperor."

Prince Duan thought for a moment and nodded, "That makes sense, but this matter still needs to be considered carefully. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the emperor and see what the emperor means."

On the second day, Prince Duan entered the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor said that this time the princes were allowed to participate in government affairs in order to train their abilities and prepare for the future succession to the throne.

Prince Duan understood the emperor's intention, but he also knew that there would inevitably be competition and intrigue involved.

The Crown Prince has been involved in government affairs for two or three years. The second, third, and fourth princes are still young.

——The commoner of King Xuan who was far away in the fiefdom of King Xian

"Master, you have endured humiliation for six years. Now the time has come. We should return to the capital immediately to fight for the throne!" King Xuan's lackey said anxiously. He knew the ambition and determination of his master, but he also knew that the journey would be full of hardships and challenges.

Prince Xuan Hua Zeyan narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He clenched his fists and said firmly and confidently: "Haha, Hua Chenlang is destined to be stepped under my feet and become a stepping stone for me to ascend the throne!"

For six years, King Xuan had been patient and secretly accumulating strength. He carefully planned every move, cultivated his own power, and waited for the best opportunity to come. Now, he finally waited for this opportunity and was determined not to endure humiliation anymore, but to personally take back everything that belonged to him.

"Master, rest assured. We, your subordinates, will do our best to help you seize the throne!" The lackeys expressed their willingness to follow King Xuan through fire and water.

They knew that the war for the throne would be extremely fierce, but as long as they united, there was hope of achieving their goal.

King Xuan nodded, a resolute look on his face. He believed in his own ability and wisdom, and even more so in the loyal lackeys around him.

They will embark on the journey back to the capital together and have a life-and-death battle with Hua Chenlang. No matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead is, King Xuan firmly believes that the final victory will belong to him.
