Rebirth of Her Royal Highness the Princess

"How dare you! Even the Queen's maid dares to stop us." Ping'er, another maid beside the Queen, stood up and spoke.

The guard then let him go and he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Your servant Shen Huo and his granddaughter and grandson are here to pay their respects to the Empress." The Prime Minister led two children, a boy and a girl, to kneel on the ground and greet the Empress respectfully. The boy had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, red lips and white teeth, while the girl was gentle and graceful, both of them were outstanding.

"Father, please stop being polite. Father is old, so there is no need for you to be polite. We are all family members." The Queen Mother quickly helped the Prime Minister up, then looked down at the two children kneeling on the ground, her eyes full of love, "Come on, get up quickly! Let me take a good look at you."

After thanking the queen, the prime minister stood up with his granddaughter and grandson. He first pushed his grandson to the front and said to the queen with a smile: "This is Liuyun, who just turned twelve this year. I hope the queen will take good care of him in the future."

The Queen touched Shen Liuyun's head and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are really handsome! In the future, you must be like your father and become a pillar of the country."

The prime minister's son was a cabinet scholar and was discussing matters in the palace at that time.

Then, the prime minister pulled his granddaughter to his side and introduced her, "This is Yuping, two years older than Liuyun. She is usually very well-behaved and sensible, and is also quite knowledgeable in poetry, literature, etiquette and music."

The Queen looked at Shen Yuping, nodded, and praised: "You are worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister. You are so well-educated and well-mannered. You will definitely marry into a good family in the future." After that, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Shen Yuping, "Take this bracelet as a gift from me to you. Accept it."

Shen Yuping thanked the queen, carefully took the jade bracelet and put it on her hand. The jade bracelet was flawless white, warm and smooth, and it was obviously a priceless treasure. The surrounding palace maids couldn't help showing envy when they saw it.

"Father, I came back this time to bring Yuping to the palace to stay with me for a few days. I need relatives around me..." After saying this, she shed two tears.

"Rong'er, I heard that Concubine Qi is pregnant. You must take good care of her! Although you have served the emperor wholeheartedly over the years, you have not been able to give birth to more children for him..." The prime minister said while sighing softly.

Then, he pushed Shen Yuping forward and bent down to say to her, "Yuping, are you willing to go to the palace to accompany the Queen?"

Shen Yuping lowered her head slightly and replied softly, "Yuping is willing."

Her voice was gentle and firm, as if she had already made up her mind. At this moment, she might have mixed feelings in her heart - both the expectation and nervousness of the unknown court life, and the attachment to her family; at the same time, perhaps there was also a determination to prove her own value and bring honor to her family...

"Father, I will not let Yuping accompany the emperor. Instead, I want Yuping to marry Lang'er as a concubine..." the queen whispered in the prime minister's ear.

"No, I don't agree!"

"Yuping, Liuyun, you go out first. I have something to say to your grandfather!" The two children went out obediently.

"Father, think about it. The current emperor is already over 40 years old. He doesn't have much time left to live. And our Lang'er is one of the most promising candidates to become the crown prince. He will definitely ascend the throne in the future. If Yuping marries Lang'er as a concubine, wouldn't that be a good thing? After Lang'er ascends the throne, it's hard to say who will become the queen! Maybe by then, our Shen family will still be able to enjoy all the glory and wealth!

However, the prime minister said angrily: "This is ridiculous! The position of the crown prince has not yet been officially announced, which means that there is still the possibility of variables. Moreover, Yuping is still young. She is the legitimate daughter of our Shen family. How can she easily marry Prince Kang as a concubine! This is simply an insult and debasement to our Shen family!"

"Father…"

"Stop talking! Yuping won't get married! Your brother won't agree to her getting married either!" The prime minister firmly rejected the queen.

However, at this critical moment, someone was eavesdropping outside the door! And this person was Yu Ping! When she heard the conversation inside the house, she couldn't help but feel a firm determination in her heart.
