Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Soon, the day arrived for the palace to select a concubine for the emperor.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, and the palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, making it very lively. The palace maids were busy decorating the venue and preparing food. The daughters of many officials were dressed up, looking forward to becoming the emperor's concubine and becoming a phoenix.

However, the emperor seemed a little absent-minded, his eyes drifted to the door from time to time, as if waiting for something. Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, has Yue'er entered the palace?"

Jun Moli was slightly stunned, then he replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, Yue'er has not entered the palace."

The emperor's face darkened when he heard this, but he soon regained his composure. He sighed softly and said, "I just want to see if she is interested in participating in this imperial concubine selection. After all, she is also my cousin, and I naturally hope that she can be happy."

Jun Moli secretly complained in his heart. He certainly understood the emperor's feelings for Jun Yue. But Jun Yue only wanted to live a free life and didn't want to get involved in the palace struggle. He said helplessly: "Your Majesty, Yue'er is a free-spirited person. I'm afraid she is not suitable for life in the palace. Please forgive me."

The emperor nodded, showing his understanding. He knew that Jun Moli was right, and Jun Yue was indeed not suitable for palace life. But he still felt a little unwilling in his heart, after all, he had a special feeling for Jun Yue.

At this moment, a eunuch came running in and reported: "Your Majesty, the concubine selection ceremony is about to begin. Your Majesty, please move to the main hall."

The emperor stood up, straightened his robe, and said to Jun Moli, "Let's go, uncle. Let's go and take a look at these women. Maybe there will be one who will make my heart beat."

Jun Moli responded and followed the emperor to the palace. They walked through the long corridor and saw many young and beautiful women along the way. Some of them lowered their heads shyly, while others boldly looked into the emperor's eyes.

When the emperor and Jun Moli walked into the hall, all the women knelt down and saluted, shouting in unison: "Your Highness!"

The emperor looked around and his eyes stopped at a pretty and elegant woman. He smiled slightly, motioned her to stand up, and asked her name and family background. The woman was so nervous that she stuttered a little, but she still answered the emperor's questions clearly.

As time went by, more and more women were chosen to become the emperor's concubines. But Jun Yue never showed up, and the emperor showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Finally, the emperor announced the end of the selection process and took the newly selected concubines back to the palace. Jun Moli quietly left the palace, praying that Jun Yue would not be implicated.

After returning to the palace, the emperor sat on the dragon throne, thinking. He understood that Jun Yue was not here because she did not want to be his concubine at all. Although he felt a little disappointed, he was unwilling to force it.

According to convention, the emperor had to go to the harem regularly to favor his concubines. This time, since he had just gotten married, he had to start with the concubines with higher status.

He Jiaojiao, the granddaughter of the cabinet's chief minister, was named He Concubine. Her family background was strong and her influence in the court could not be underestimated. Yan Qin, the granddaughter of the Imperial Censor, became Yan Concubine. Her family also had a prominent position and power.

In addition, Princess Xue Ning's daughter Xiao Ran was canonized as Xiao Guiren, and the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Industry Yun Xi was canonized as Yun Guiren. These women all came from prominent families, and their entry into the palace undoubtedly added a bit of noble atmosphere to the palace.

As night fell, the palace was brightly lit. After the emperor finished handling government affairs in the imperial study, he returned to the bedroom and turned over Hepin's name card. Then, he went to the bedroom of Chengqian Palace and waited for Hepin's arrival.

Meanwhile, He was bathing in Lanxi Palace. She knew that she would be favored by the emperor tonight, and she was excited and nervous. She washed her body carefully, hoping to leave a good impression on the emperor. After bathing, He put on a gorgeous nightgown and sat on the bed waiting for the eunuch to pick her up.

After a while, two eunuchs came to Lanxi Palace. They brought a quilt, wrapped Hepin tightly, and then carried her to Tongxin Hall in Chengqian Palace. On the way, Hepin felt a little embarrassed and shy, but also full of expectations.

Finally, He was carried to Tongxin Hall. She was placed on the bed, waiting for the emperor to arrive. At this time, she could no longer calm down, her heartbeat accelerated, and her hands trembled slightly. She didn't know what would happen next, and could only pray silently that everything would go well.

When the emperor walked into Tongxin Hall, he saw Concubine He’s nervous look and couldn’t help feeling pity for her.

He walked to the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and Concubine He's beautiful face appeared before him.

The emperor reached out and stroked Concubine He's face, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will treat you gently."

Hepin nodded shyly, her eyes full of tenderness. The emperor slowly took off Hepin's clothes, and Hepin's cheeks were flushed, like a ripe red apple.

The emperor kissed Concubine He's lips and gradually deepened the kiss.

Hepin closed her eyes and felt the emperor's passion. Their breathing gradually became rapid, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

The emperor's hands began to wander over Concubine He's body, exploring every inch of her skin.

He Bin's body trembled involuntarily, and her heart was filled with desire.

As the emperor teased her, Hepin's emotions became more and more excited. She began to actively respond to the emperor's affection and fully enjoy the passion of this moment.

That night, she called for water three times. Concubines were not allowed to stay overnight in Chengqian Palace, but the emperor made an exception for her.

Before dawn, the emperor went to the morning court. He looked at the sleeping face on the bed, and his heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

When it was dawn, Concubine He washed up and left Chengqian Palace.

Not long after returning to Lanxi Palace, the palace maid beside the Empress Dowager came to summon him.

He knew that what happened last night must have reached the ears of the Grand Empress Dowager. After dressing up, she went to pay a visit to the Grand Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine He, who was radiant in front of her. She smiled and asked a few questions about what happened last night, and Concubine He answered truthfully.

The Empress Dowager looked at Concubine He and said with a smile, "Okay, you must give me a great-grandson as soon as possible." Her eyes were full of anticipation and joy.

Concubine He replied respectfully, "Yes. I've made note of that." Her voice was gentle but firm, indicating that she would work hard to meet the Empress Dowager's expectations.

The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction and said to Concubine He, "I know that you have always been a sensible and well-behaved child. You must take good care of the Emperor in the future."

Concubine He was grateful and said quickly: "Thank you for the compliment, Empress Dowager. I will do my best to serve the Emperor." Her face was filled with a happy smile and her heart was full of confidence.

The Empress Dowager gently patted Concubine He's hand and motioned for her to stand up.

After the emperor left the court, he went to the Cining Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager. He saw Concubine He there and they chatted for a while.

She turned to look at the emperor and said with a smile: "Emperor, I hope you can have your own children soon to continue the royal bloodline."

The emperor replied respectfully: "Don't worry, Grandmother. I will do my best." His eyes swept over Concubine He, and a hint of anticipation surged in his heart.

The Empress Dowager nodded, with a hint of relief in her eyes. She knew that it was time for the Emperor to have a child, and He was a suitable candidate.

Thus, a topic about giving birth to an heir to the throne began. The exchange between the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Concubine He filled the entire palace with a festive atmosphere.
