Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

On this day, the emperor was going to favor his concubine again, and the green card he turned over was Concubine Xiao.

Yuefu Pavilion where Concubine Xiao lived was located in a remote corner of the imperial palace, far away from Chengqian Palace where the emperor lived.

At this moment, a eunuch hurried to Yuefu Pavilion and delivered an important message: "Lady Xiao, His Majesty has turned over your green card tonight. Please wash up and get ready quickly. The phoenix carriage will come to pick you up to Chengqian Palace in an hour."

Upon hearing this sudden good news, Concubine Xiao felt a surge of surprise and nervousness.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and replied softly, "Yes." Then, she quickly turned and walked into the inner room and began to make careful preparations for the arrival of this night.

After dressing up, Concubine Xiao got on the phoenix carriage and headed for Chengqian Palace. Along the way, she became more and more excited and full of expectations.

However, when she entered the emperor's bedroom, she found that the emperor was busy with government affairs and looked very tired. The emperor just glanced at her indifferently and continued to handle state affairs.

Concubine Xiao felt a little disappointed, but she still tried her best to show her gentleness and thoughtfulness, and served tea and snacks to the emperor.

However, the emperor did not react much. The expression on his face was calm, and even his eyes did not change at all.

I saw him frowning slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Then he waved his hand nonchalantly, said a few words, and let her go to rest.

Concubine Xiao was lying on the bed, feeling very complicated. Although she was favored by the emperor, she felt a little lost and lonely in her heart.

She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Time passed by minute by minute, and about half an hour later, there was a slight noise next to the bed.

Concubine Xiao immediately became alert. She opened her eyes and stared quietly ahead.

In the dim candlelight, she saw a figure busying himself in front of the bed. It was the emperor, who was slowly taking off his clothes.

Concubine Xiao's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. She stared at the emperor nervously, not daring to look away for a moment.

Finally, the emperor slowly turned around, and their eyes met. When their eyes met, Concubine Xiao's cheeks flushed instantly, and she lowered her head shyly, with expectation and anxiety flashing in her eyes.

"Your Majesty." Concubine Xiao looked at the emperor with sleepy eyes, as if she had not yet fully woken up. She asked softly, "Why don't you ask me to change my clothes?"

The emperor smiled and replied, "I see that my beloved concubine is sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake you up!" He gently stroked Concubine Xiao's cheek, with doting in his eyes.

Concubine Xiao felt warm in her heart, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty is so bad, I thought you would not come."

The emperor laughed heartily, hugged Concubine Xiao in his arms, and said softly: "How could I leave my beloved concubine alone?" After that, the emperor lowered his head and kissed Concubine Xiao on the lips, and Concubine Xiao also responded to the emperor's kiss enthusiastically.

The two people's clothes gradually faded away, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the room.

After making love, the emperor hugged Concubine Xiao and whispered, "I still have some government affairs to deal with. I will come to see you later." Concubine Xiao nodded obediently and watched the emperor leave. Her heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

After Concubine Xiao saw the emperor off, she called the palace maids to prepare for a bath.

She soaked in the bathtub filled with flower petals, and her face turned red as she thought about the affectionate moments she had just had with the emperor.

After washing up, he got on the Luanfeng carriage and returned to Yuefu Pavilion.

After returning to Yuefu Pavilion, Concubine Xiao leaned lazily on the couch and ordered her maid to fetch a pipa. She plucked the strings lightly, and the graceful and melodious music sounded like crying and complaining.

As her ten fingers played the piano, the melodious sound of the piano continued to come, but Xiao Guiren's thoughts could not help but drift to the lingering love with the emperor. She could not help but think of the madness and passion, and a hint of shyness appeared on her face.

"My dear, it's getting late. You should go to bed. You have to pay your respects to the Empress Dowager early tomorrow morning." The palace maid beside her reminded softly.

Concubine Xiao came back to her senses, looked at the moonlight outside the window, and nodded: "Well, that makes sense. Let's go." She stood up and walked gracefully towards the bedroom, her heart full of expectations for the future.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Concubine Xiao dressed up and went to the Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

When Concubine Xiao arrived outside the Cining Palace, she happened to meet Concubine He and Concubine Yan who also came to pay their respects. They exchanged a few pleasantries and then entered the palace together.

The Grand Empress Dowager sat at the top with a kind face. Xiao Guiren and others bowed to her. The Grand Empress Dowager smiled and asked them to stand up and asked about some trivial matters in life. Everyone answered freely and the atmosphere was harmonious.

However, when the Empress Dowager asked Concubine Xiao about her offspring, her expression changed slightly. Although she felt a little uneasy, she still replied respectfully: "I have been working hard to take care of my body, hoping to give birth to a dragon boy for Your Majesty." The Empress Dowager nodded, expressing her satisfaction, and told her to take good care of herself.

After paying her respects, Concubine Xiao walked out of the Cining Palace, feeling an unspeakable pressure in her heart.

She knew that in this palace, having children was extremely important to the concubines. She secretly made up her mind to work harder and try to get pregnant with a dragon child as soon as possible.

Concubine Xiao returned to her bedroom with a heavy heart and ordered her maid to prepare some nourishing medicinal food. She knew that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the palace, she had to get pregnant with a dragon descendant as soon as possible.

In the following days, apart from paying respects to the Empress Dowager on time, Concubine Xiao spent most of her time recuperating in the palace. She invited an imperial physician to take care of her body and also learned some knowledge about keeping the baby safe.

During this period, the emperor also prepared to favor his fourth concubine, Concubine Yun.

Time flies, and March has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Concubine Xiao was embroidering in her bedroom when she suddenly felt nauseous. She was delighted and immediately called the imperial physician to take her pulse.

The imperial physician knelt down and reported: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty. Lady Xiao is pregnant."

Hearing the news, Concubine Xiao was so excited that she burst into tears. Her heart was filled with joy and emotion. She knew that her efforts had finally paid off, and this child would become a part of her life.

However, Concubine Xiao was not the only one in the harem who had received good news. Concubine He had been pregnant for more than three months, but she chose to remain silent and did not reveal the secret to anyone.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine He is three months pregnant." The imperial physician said cautiously.

The emperor was overjoyed when he heard this, and he immediately ordered: "Good. There will be a huge reward!"

The whole palace was suddenly filled with joy, and everyone congratulated the emperor and the two empresses. This was undoubtedly a big event for the harem, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of a new life.

Concubine Yan was worried in Yixia Palace. Why did Concubine He succeed in one try? And she...

Concubine Yan paced anxiously in the room. Her maid Xiaolan comforted her, "Don't worry, madam. Maybe the time has not come yet." Concubine Yan stopped and looked at Xiaolan. "You are right. I can't lose my composure. From today on, I will also take good care of myself."

After that, Concubine Yan not only paid more attention to her diet, but also often went for walks in the garden to relax.
