Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

Chapter 281: Poison Shadow Sect

In the far northern borderland, there is a man who is already forty years old. His name is Hua Ze Yan. Although he is a commoner, he has a past unknown to others. Time flies, and twelve years have passed in the blink of an eye. The vicissitudes of time have mercilessly carved deep marks on his face, and the once strong man now looks a little old.

For many years, he had been hiding in the Poison Shadow Sect he founded in his own fiefdom, living an anonymous life. Here, he married an ordinary civilian woman, Liu, and had a son with her. The child took his mother's surname and was named Liu Siyu.

However, almost no one knows that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man is actually the Prince Xuan who once dominated the court and the country, and is also the uncle of the current emperor!

This secret is only known to a few loyal staff members around him. These staff members always stay by Hua Zeyan's side, silently guarding this long-forgotten past.

——Xiao Mansion

That day, Xiao Yun held a birthday banquet and mentioned Rong Fei during the chat.

"Congratulations, Lord Xiao! The Xiao family has a new concubine! This is such a great joy!" A minister said with a smile on his face and bowed.

"Yes, yes!" The other ministers echoed, their faces filled with envy and flattery.

Cabinet Grand Secretary Xiao Yun nodded slightly. Although he looked somewhat proud, he still pretended to be humble and said, "You are too polite. Concubine Rong is my niece's great-granddaughter. Although her surname is Xiao, it is thanks to the royal family's blessing that she has such an honor today. My Xiao family has always been loyal to the court. Now we can get this honor. It is really the good deeds of our ancestors!" After saying that, he couldn't help but stroke his beard, with a proud light flashing in his eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, five kinds of delicious food had been tasted one after another, and this lively banquet gradually came to an end. At this time, Xiao Yun apologized to everyone for his limited alcohol tolerance and was unable to resist, then stood up and left the table, slowly walked towards his room, ready to have a good rest.

The task of staying and accompanying the guests to continue drinking and chatting naturally fell on his young and promising nephews.

Speaking of Xiao Yun, although he was successful in his career, he had never had a child. He only had one daughter, named Xiao Feiyan. This girl was outstanding in appearance and talent. Later, she married in a grand manner and became the mistress of the Ding Earl's Mansion. She gave birth to two sons and lived an enviable life.

Let's look at Xiao Yun's two nephews, who are also very outstanding people. One of them married Xue Ning, the Princess of Qingping, who was born in a noble family and was gentle and virtuous; the other married Ji Yunrou from the Ji family, who was also well-educated, beautiful and intelligent. After marriage, both couples loved each other very much, lived in harmony, and were happy and happy.

Now Xiao Yi and Princess Qingping have separated from the Xiao Mansion. After all, he is the father-in-law of the emperor. Rong Fei's father and mother still have some face.

As for Xiao Yan, he still lives in the Xiao Mansion with his wife and children. After all, someone will need to inherit the Xiao Mansion in the future.

Xiao Yun returned to his room and lay on the bed, thinking back to today's banquet, with a lot of emotion in his heart. He knew that his current status and achievements were not only due to his own efforts, but also inseparable from the support of his family. Now, his daughter and nephews are living a happy life, and he is also very pleased.

However, there was always a regret in his heart, that is, he had no son. Although he did not favor boys over girls, in this feudal society, being childless was undoubtedly a regret. However, he also understood that life was always imperfect, and he should cherish everything in front of him and enjoy the happiness of family. Thinking of this, Xiao Yun slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In his dream, Xiao Yun vaguely saw a figure. When he got closer, he found that it was his brother who had passed away long ago. His brother smiled and said to him: "Brother Yun, don't worry about not having a child. The future of the Xiao family will be supported by our descendants." Xiao Yun was relieved after hearing this.

Now in the harem, Concubine Rong has a son and a daughter, Concubine Lan has no children yet, and Concubine Yan and the other three noble ladies are not pregnant either.

Where does the problem lie? Is there someone in the harem causing trouble?

Xiao Yun woke up from his sleep, sat up, and recalled the dream just now. He thought to himself, is it really his brother's spirit in heaven who gave him a dream? Or is this just an ordinary dream? Xiao Yun decided not to worry about this matter anymore, believing that the Xiao family will definitely have outstanding descendants.

The next day, Xiao Yun went to the palace to pay his respects to the emperor, and after discussing state affairs with the emperor, he left the palace. When the emperor went for a walk in the imperial garden, he met Concubine Yan who was admiring the flowers.

The emperor noticed that Concubine Yan looked a little haggard, so he stepped forward and asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, how are you these days?" Concubine Yan smiled slightly and replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine. It's just that..."

She hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Hua Yu asked, "Just what? You can say it." Concubine Yan lowered her head and said softly, "I have been in the palace for a long time, but I have not been able to give birth to a child for Your Majesty. I can't help feeling a little guilty."

Hua Yu comforted her, "There is no need to rush this matter. I believe that fate will come naturally." Hua Yu thought that perhaps he should ask the imperial physician to regulate Concubine Yan's body to see if there was anything wrong.

Concubine Yan bowed slightly and said in a soft voice, "I have been taking good care of myself recently, hoping to conceive a heir as soon as possible and give birth to children for Your Majesty." As she said this, her face was full of shyness and anticipation.

After hearing this, a hint of tenderness flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he comforted her softly: "Well, my beloved concubine, you have worked hard. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will get what you want." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently embraced Concubine Yan's slender waist.

At this time, the emperor suddenly said: "I will go to visit you tonight." His tone was firm yet tender.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Yan was delighted and quickly responded, "Okay, I will prepare early to welcome your Majesty." Her eyes sparkled like stars, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a charming smile. At this moment, she was looking forward to the arrival of night with joy, waiting to spend a good night with the emperor.

As night fell, the emperor came to Concubine Yan's bedroom. The bedroom was filled with a faint fragrance and the flickering candlelight created a romantic atmosphere.

Yanpin had already dressed up and waited for a long time. Her beauty was so stunning that the emperor could not help but fall for her.

The two sat together, hugging each other and sharing a warm moment. The emperor gently stroked Concubine Yan's face and asked with concern: "My beloved concubine, have you had any troubles recently?"

Concubine Yan lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I am fine, but I often miss Your Majesty."

The emperor smiled and promised, "I also always think of my beloved concubine. I will come to visit you more often in the future."

As time goes by, their feelings grow deeper. However, the struggle in the harem has not stopped. Whether Yanpin can successfully conceive a dragon descendant and whether she can gain a foothold in the complex palace struggle is still unknown...
