After Yu Ying'er's rebirth, she became addicted to teasing Concubine Hua

Chapter 65 Poor Five Eggs

Seeing that Nian Shilan was thinking so much about her, Lu Yingfeng immediately stood up and bowed to thank her, tears welling up in her eyes. In the royal harem, the most untrustworthy thing was the sisterhood, but since Yu Ying'er came and implicated several people, there was a little more warmth between them, and now everyone could barely call each other sisters and protect each other.

"In that case, let Concubine Wan sleep first, at least to prevent others from remembering the fact that she was promoted to the rank of concubine. I'm afraid that the Emperor will directly make Zhen Huan a consort on the day she gives birth to an heir to the emperor in order to calm the matter down." Yu Ying'er was also afraid of the madness of this world, and was afraid that the emperor would go crazy and do such a thing again. After all... in the original plot, they even did things like changing the name and age, let alone other things.

Nian Shilan nodded in agreement, and the others looked willing to follow orders, and the entire Yikun Palace was incomparably harmonious. Without Nian Shilan's heartbreaking roar and sour words, without the love-brained torment and difficulties, without the influence of Huanyixiang, now the sun is shining and warm.

……

Zhen Huan had indeed been in a coma and was forgotten by the emperor in the Sui Yuxuan. Only Shen Meiyu came to take care of her personally after paying her respects every day. This made the queen of Xianfu Palace, Concubine Jing, feel helpless and even a little disappointed.

Because of her good performance in recent times, the Queen was able to ask the Emperor to take back most of her power. Now, the Queen, Concubine Jing, and Noble Concubine Hua hold power, and Yixiu dominates the palace power. The humble Concubine Jing can only be assigned some thankless positions and is miserable. Nian Shilan was not interested in helping the Emperor clean up the mess or getting subsidies, so she just picked up a few easy positions that were accessible but allowed her to get in touch with the management of the lowest level of people, such as the Ministry of Punishment, with the goal of using money to build relationships, which might be useful in the future.

The Nian family sent people to the palace to investigate the matter of Yupin. After only three days, the result came out. Yupin had indeed died in the palace. It was said that she died of illness. As for the real cause of death, it was unknown. Little Hong Zhou, who was only a few years old, was tortured in the palace and got asthma. He was very thin and pitiful.

When Nian Shilan received the secret letter from the Nian family, her brows were tightly furrowed. She didn't know if it was because she was a mother or for some other reason, but she felt so sad and distressed when she heard that her child was suffering.

Seeing Nian Shilan's expression, Yu Ying'er carefully pulled over the letter and started reading it. The description of Hong Zhou in the letter was really pitiful. He was bullied, didn't have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear... etc. He even had to wash his own clothes and work to earn money for his daily medicine. This was really not something a prince should endure.

This child is only five or six years old!

It must be said that after reading this, Yu Ying'er also felt a little uncomfortable. Although they hoped that Yupin really died of illness in the palace, they never thought that the life of mother and son in the palace would be so miserable.

She was clearly the Emperor's Concubine Yu, and moreover... the biological mother of the Emperor's Fifth Prince, but she ended up dying of illness and being buried casually. The servants in the palace were so bold as not to report it to the Emperor and allowed the matter to be covered up. It was really despicable.

"Empress, now that the crisis of the seven concubines has been resolved, we should help Sister Xin secure the position of the main empress. As for the fifth prince, he is really pitiful. Perhaps we can ask the emperor to bring him back to the capital and find a foster mother to raise him, so that he will not be tortured to death." Yu Ying'er thought that if he had asthma, he would have no chance of becoming the emperor, and she might as well help this poor child.

Nian Shilan nodded, indicating that this was indeed the right thing to do, and even suggested, "Didn't Yunyan always want a child? She said that we all have one, but she doesn't. After all, it was Huan Yixiang who hurt her body, and I feel guilty about it. Let's make up for her regret of not being able to be a mother."

When it came to finding a foster mother for the Fifth Prince, Nian Shilan first thought of Lipin, the only childless woman on her side. She had never ignored the envious look in Lipin's eyes whenever she saw her and others taking care of children.

Yu Ying'er was about to agree when Qiqi hit her on the head. Qiqi appeared and started to explain science to the two idiots.

"Mother, the Fifth Prince must not be raised by Empress Li. Just as you said, in your faction, three of the concubines occupy the position, one of the imperial consorts occupies the position, and even the only noble consort is you, mother. What's more, you already have several children. If there is one more, I'm afraid the emperor will not be able to make up for the balance. It is better to give this opportunity to Concubine Jing, so we can get something good." Qiqi made this analysis based on the situation in which the emperor dismantled power and established a three-legged tripod trend.

He bet that his father had begun to fear his mother's party, and even if the fifth prince could not inherit the throne, it would not be suitable for him to stay on his mother's side.

After Qiqi's explanation, the two fools finally woke up. They had only been thinking about seeking benefits for their sisters and making up for their regrets, and completely forgot that our emperor was extremely suspicious. If they were not careful, everyone would be implicated.

"Qiqi, I'm glad to have you." Yu Ying'er looked at him in admiration.

"Son, I'm lucky to have you." Nian Shilan said proudly.

In order for this matter to proceed smoothly, Yu Ying'er was sent to do this, so she "personally" made the soup that day and had someone send it to the emperor. The implication was very obvious.

That day, the emperor came to have dinner with Yu Ying'er, and there was a hint of secret joy in his words, as he was secretly happy that Yu Ying'er was finally willing to work hard to win his favor.

Because the emperor was so happy, he frequently picked up dishes for Yu Ying'er during meals, and he was very considerate and picked up dishes that Yu Ying'er liked. Yu Ying'er was probably the first person to enjoy having the emperor pick up dishes for her and serve her during meals.

While Yu Ying'er was having her meal, she reminded the emperor in a coquettish manner that after Concubine Xin was promoted to the rank of concubine, she still lived in the same palace with her. Now, there were two main masters and two little masters living in Chuxiu Palace, and it was always very noisy. Sometimes she felt dizzy when she saw so many people coming and going.

The hint was so obvious that after the emperor thought about it again and again, he let Lu Yingfeng move to the main seat of Chengqian Palace, which was also a way of giving face to Yu Ying'er.

After finishing the meal, Yu Ying'er told the wet nurse to bring Hongyao up. When Hongyao saw the emperor, his eyes moved quickly, thinking about what his mother had said to him. Finally, he endured the discomfort and called out "Ama" several times.

"Oh, our Hongyao is finally willing to call me "Ama" seriously. Well, that's progress, he deserves a reward!" The emperor tapped Hongyao's nose with a calm expression on his face, but the joy in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

Yu Ying'er watched this father-son love scene with a smile. She tried her best to create opportunities for the father and son to develop their relationship. After all... only with deep feelings can there be better development in the future.

Seeing that the time was almost up and the emperor had agreed to reward Hongyao with a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, Yu Ying'er touched Hongyao's face and said with some emotion: "Hongyao is now plump and white. I am very pleased to see him, but I can't help but feel sad when I think of the Fourth and Fifth Princes. The Fourth Prince was treated harshly by the servants in the Old Summer Palace, a place that the emperor visited almost every year. There was even pudding on his clothes. You can imagine how the Fifth Prince was treated in the temporary palace... Alas, as a mother, I feel sad when I think of such things."

After saying this, Yu Ying'er forced herself to shed a few tears in order to make the scene more realistic, causing her eyes to turn red and look pitiful.

The emperor's big hand, which was holding Hongyao's small hand, froze, as if he was lost in some memories. There seemed to be a gleam of nostalgia in his eyes, as if he was missing Concubine Yu.
