Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

The next morning, when it was just daybreak and the sun had not yet fully risen, the emperor left Yaoguang Hall early and returned to the palace. At this time, Concubine Wen also slowly opened her eyes.

"Someone come!" Concubine Wen called softly.

"Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?" The palace maid Lan Ruo walked over quickly and asked.

"Help me up." Concubine Wen said softly.

Lan Ruo carefully helped Concubine Wen up, but when she saw the unusually numerous red marks on Concubine Wen's body, she couldn't help but widen her eyes and look surprised. These marks seemed to be traces left after last night's passion, and the number was so large that people couldn't help but think of the intense and crazy night between Concubine Wen and the emperor.

"Your Majesty, did the Emperor do something to you last night..." Lan Ruo asked with concern in a trembling voice.

Concubine Wen smiled gently and comforted Lanruo: "Don't worry, you will understand the reason after you get married in the future." After that, Concubine Wen looked at Lanruo gently, with a mysterious smile in her eyes.

"Where's Lan Xin?" Concubine Wen asked with a frown. She sat in front of the dressing table and let the maids play with her hair, but her eyes were looking around for someone.

"Sister Lan Xin is cooking porridge for the queen." Lan Ruo, who was standing aside, answered obediently. She knew that her master was very particular about food, so Lan Xin went to make porridge, hoping to satisfy her master.

Concubine Wen nodded to show that she understood. She had two personal maids, one named Lan Xin and the other named Lan Ruo.

At this time, Lan Xin came in with a bowl of steaming porridge, "Your Majesty, the porridge is ready." Concubine Wen took a look at the porridge, smelled the fragrance, and nodded with satisfaction. "Put it there." Then, she turned to look at Lan Ruo, "What happened yesterday must not be spread." "Yes, Your Majesty." Lan Ruo replied respectfully. After the master and servants finished their breakfast, Concubine Wen asked Lan Xin and Lan Ruo to accompany her to take a walk in the garden.

Concubine Wen remained silent all the way. She seemed to be enjoying the beauty of the garden, but in fact she was thinking about her future plans. She knew that in this deep palace, if she wanted to survive and gain favor, she had to be scheming and manipulative. The emperor's visit last night was just the beginning...

She went from being a small prostitute to a small noble lady, and now she is the favored concubine in the harem.

As they walked, Concubine Wen saw the Queen and a group of concubines admiring flowers not far away. She raised her lips slightly and walked towards them, pulling Lan Xin and Lan Ruo.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen and all the sisters." Concubine Wen bowed.

"Sister Wenfei, you've arrived at the right time. Come and enjoy the flowers with me." The Queen said with a smile.

After thanking the queen, Concubine Wen joined them. She admired the flowers and chatted with other concubines. On the surface, she looked very happy, but in fact, she was thinking about how to stand out among these women.

Suddenly, she noticed that a concubine beside the queen was secretly looking at her, with jealousy and resentment in her eyes. Concubine Wen had an idea and decided to start with this concubine...

Concubine Wen pretended not to see her gaze and continued to chat and laugh with others. However, when the queen suggested that everyone write a poem, Concubine Wen took the initiative to stand up and said that she was willing to present an ugly poem.

She opened her red lips and recited a beautiful poem, winning the admiration of everyone present. Especially the concubine who stole a glance at her, her face became even uglier.

Concubine Wen secretly watched her reaction, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. In the following time, Concubine Wen deliberately got close to that concubine, and her words were full of provocation.

When the show was over, Concubine Wen "accidentally" dropped her handkerchief next to the concubine. She knew that this was the beginning...

The concubine was a loyal supporter of Concubine Hua, and she always flattered and fawned on her. This time, she actually handed her handkerchief to a maid and ordered her to pass it to the imperial guards.

However, Lan Ruo, a maidservant beside Concubine Wen, was skilled in martial arts. She secretly followed the maidservant and witnessed the maid handing Concubine Wen's handkerchief to the imperial guard. She then quickly returned to Concubine Wen and passed on the shocking news to her.

When Concubine Wen learned about this, she was furious, but she did not show it. Instead, she deliberately lost her temper and shouted, "I can't even find my handkerchief! What's the point of keeping these useless things of yours?"

At this moment, a voice came from the door: "My beloved, what happened?" It turned out that the emperor had arrived.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Concubine Wen hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

"Tell me, what happened to your master?" The emperor asked sternly, looking at the two palace maids kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty accidentally lost her handkerchief while taking a walk today. I was worried that the loss of the handkerchief would damage Your Majesty's reputation, so I immediately went back to look for it. But when I returned again, I found that the handkerchief was gone." Lan Ruo answered anxiously.

"Ridiculous!" the emperor shouted angrily, "You can't even keep a handkerchief! What are you slaves for?"

Concubine Wen pretended to be weak and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have left the handkerchief lying around."

The emperor looked at Concubine Wen's pitiful appearance and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart. He quickly comforted her: "Don't be sad, my beloved concubine. It's just a handkerchief."

After saying that, the emperor turned to look at Lan Ruolanxin and said sternly, "Go find a better handkerchief for the imperial concubine!"

The two palace maids, as if they had been pardoned, kowtowed to express their gratitude and hurried away.

After the maid left, the emperor gently helped Concubine Wen up and said softly, "My beloved concubine is frightened. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

There was a hint of pride in Concubine Wen's eyes, but she still said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I believe the handkerchief will be found."

At this moment, Concubine Wen was secretly thinking about her next plan...

The day after the emperor returned to the palace, a shocking news spread in the palace: Concubine Wen seemed to have an unusual relationship with the imperial guard Zhao Wen. This rumor spread quickly throughout the palace like a whirlwind, causing an uproar.

"How dare you! Where did this rumor come from?" the emperor asked angrily. He could not tolerate such an act of defaming the dignity of the royal family.

A eunuch replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is said that it came from the imperial guards."

The emperor's expression became even gloomier, and he immediately ordered: "Send the Imperial Guard Chief Lu Tong."

Not long after, Lu Tong, the chief imperial guard, hurried to the palace and respectfully met the emperor.

The emperor stared at him and asked sternly: "Lu Tong, do you know the rumors in the palace?"

Lu Tong replied in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, I have heard something about this, but it is completely false."

The emperor's gaze became sharper, and he asked, "So, how did this rumor spread? Did someone spread it on purpose?"

Lu Tong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then replied: "Your Majesty, this may not be intentional. Concubine Wen did have contact with Guard Zhao Wen, but that was only because Concubine Wen was quite interested in martial arts and asked Zhao Wen for some moves. However, because they were too devoted to practicing martial arts, they might have been misunderstood as having an affair. In addition, the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace like to spread all kinds of gossip, which also accelerated the spread of rumors."

The emperor frowned, thinking about Lu Tong's explanation. Although he was still dissatisfied, he had already figured out the result. After all, rumors in the palace were always difficult to avoid, and they were often exaggerated.

Finally, the emperor waved his hand to signal Lu Tong to withdraw, and told him to strengthen the management of the imperial guards to prevent similar things from happening again. At the same time, he also decided to personally investigate the true situation between Concubine Wen and Zhao Wen to ensure the peace of the court and the reputation of the royal family.
