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

"Your Majesty, I will be fine. It's just that the Emperor suddenly had to go back to the Yangxin Palace to deal with some matters today, and asked me to sleep more. But I was thinking about you so much, how could I sleep? Look... as soon as the Emperor left, I washed myself and came to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty. I am trustworthy and always remember what I promised you." Yu Ying'er raised her little expression as if to say "come on, praise me" in an attempt to divert attention and get away with it, so that Nian Shilan would not think about those unhappy things.

Seeing Yu Ying'er like this, Nian Shilan couldn't help but guess what she was thinking. She sighed helplessly and said unhappily, "You, you always think about me. I wonder when you can think more about yourself?"

"I am like this, of course, because Your Majesty has considered everything for me. So I only need to follow Your Majesty and think about You, isn't that right? Or is Your Majesty willing to let me be bullied?" Over the years, Yu Ying'er has been used to acting like a spoiled child in front of Nian Shilan. Now, she is using her pair of watery deer eyes to win Nian Shilan's care and love.

As expected, Nian Shilan's heart softened upon seeing this, and she immediately promised, "Don't worry about this. As long as I am here, no one can bully you. Anyone who dares to bully you is bullying me. Look, I punished Concubine Qi for you today, right? Don't worry, you go back and rest now. I will go to the Queen Mother to discuss the selection of concubines. The Third Prince should also choose a wife or send a trial princess first. When new people enter the harem, the emperor will be distracted, and you and I can have some free time to do our own things."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration." After Yu Ying'er finished speaking, she stood up and bowed to Nian Shilan before taking her leave and returning to Chuxiu Palace.

Not long after, Wei Lin came to give Yu Ying'er acupuncture to clear her blood vessels, but Yu Ying'er carefully discovered that Wei Lin no longer sneaked glances at Chunxi as he did before, and he seemed upright and gentlemanly.

Yu Ying'er didn't ask much about the subtle changes between Wei Lin and Chunxi. Anyway, she knew that Chunxi had always been a person with her own opinions. She would not interfere in Chunxi's emotional affairs, and would not send Chunxi away just to pave the way. They have been together for so many years and their relationship is still good. There is no need to make things so unpleasant.

If Chunxi really likes Wei Lin and Wei Lin comes to her for help, she will give her a good dowry and marry Chunxi off in a grand manner as a noble lady. But if Chunxi does not like Wei Lin and is unwilling to marry him, then the position of the head aunt by her side will always be Chunxi's.

After letting Chunxi send Wei Lin away, Yu Ying'er washed off the makeup on her face, took off her pearl hairpins and jewelry, let her hair down, took off her shoes and socks, and lay down on the bed to catch up on her sleep. As for the emperor's appointment? The emperor said he would come to pick her up, and she didn't need to go find him herself, so what was wrong with sleeping a little longer?

The selection of concubines was decided to be held half a month before New Year's Eve, with the idea being that if they were chosen before the New Year, they would enter the palace at the beginning of the year and add some joy to the palace.

This is not only to add new people to the harem, but also to select a wife or a princess for the third prince. If he is lucky, if the emperor thinks that the woman has a suitable family background and appearance, he will naturally canonize her as the legitimate wife. If he is unlucky, he will naturally only canonize her as a princess or a concubine.

After the imperial edict was issued, Li Jingyan was very happy and wanted to go to Concubine Jing to ask for the roster and start looking for her daughter-in-law. However, the emperor lost interest because of this matter and directly sent someone to tell Yu Ying'er that today's date in Yimei Garden was cancelled.

This made Yu Ying'er feel more at ease and she began to sleep soundly. She really had no psychological burden at all. After all, the talent show had nothing to do with her, and it was even less likely that she would be in charge.

This time, it was originally planned that Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi would be in charge of the selection, probably because the emperor was angry that Nian Shilan went to the empress dowager to talk about the selection.

However, Nian Shilan was also happy that she didn't have to deal with all these trivial matters. As for whether the emperor was happy or not, who cared?

In the blink of an eye, it was the time for the spring beauty pageant, and Zhen Huan had recovered enough to go out for a walk.

During this period, Li Jingyan boasted to almost everyone he met that his son had grown up and was about to choose a wife. He had a smug smile on his face all the time and was showing off almost all the time. He even liked to ridicule Zhen Huan, Cao Qinmo, and Lu Yingfeng who were pregnant with daughters.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest princess's mother, Concubine Xin? So what if your Shuhe can please Concubine Hua? After all, she is just a daughter and she still has to get married. It would be better for her to have a son. Only a son can take care of her in her old age and give birth to grandchildren..." Li Jingyan babble on and on, louder and louder, more and more outrageous, without noticing the expression on Lu Yingfeng's face as if he was looking at a fool, and she was very proud of her stupid son.

Little did they know that a large group of people were coming behind them, angrily, and heading straight for their seats.

"How outrageous!" The emperor had been standing behind him for quite a while. Seeing that Li Jingyan's words were getting more and more outrageous, and he was almost saying that his son would be the future crown prince or even the future emperor, he shouted angrily.

Following behind the emperor were Nian Shilan, Yu Ying'er and their two children. Nian Shilan's face was not very good either. She just had a daughter, so how could she tolerate such slander from Concubine Qi?

Seeing the emperor coming and looking so fierce, Concubine Qi was so frightened that her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. However, she soon realized her impoliteness and immediately got up and saluted: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

This appearance makes him look very clumsy and makes people feel embarrassed.

Lu Yingfeng on the side was also speechless, but despite her speechlessness, she eventually followed suit and paid her respects. However, she knew the rules better than Concubine Qi, and she not only paid her respects to the Emperor, but also to Nian Shilan and Yu Ying'er, and even greeted the princesses and princes.

This comparison made Concubine Qi seem even more unruly, which made the emperor even more disgusted. He said directly: "Concubine Qi ignored the palace rules and spoke against the eldest princess. From now on, she will be confined to Changchun Palace and cannot leave without being summoned."

"Your Majesty! No, Your Majesty! The Third Prince is going to choose a wife soon, and as his biological mother, how can I not be present? Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Even if you really want to punish me, please let me choose a wife for the Third Prince first. Please, Your Majesty!" Li Jingyan knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard to admit her mistake, trying to get the emperor to forgive her this time for the sake of the Third Prince.

But the emperor was already furious, and Concubine Qi threatened him with the Third Prince. His anger went straight to his head, and he angrily scolded: "I see you like this today, it must be more than the first or second time you have behaved inappropriately. You have slandered my daughter so many times, and you still want me to forgive you? Haha... You still have the nerve to mention the Third Prince, the Third Prince has been taught a mess by a mother like you! You make me angry! As for choosing a wife and a princess for the Third Prince, that is something that only the Queen and I can decide, what does it have to do with you? You have been showing off in my harem many times and making all kinds of jokes. If it weren't for the Third Prince, I would have abolished you long ago!"

After hearing the emperor say such harsh words, Concubine Qi finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground. There was a red mark on her forehead, which, coupled with her tears and snot, made her look disgusting and funny.

The emperor couldn't stand this man anymore and had him dragged back to Changchun Palace.

Li Jingyan had been dragged away for a while, but the emperor still couldn't calm down his anger. He vaguely remembered that when Li Jingyan first entered the palace, she was wearing a pink Manchu dress, cute and pretty, and always pleased him. It was because of this that even though she was a little stupid, he was willing to protect her and teach her some principles of dealing with people so that she could live a better life in the palace. But since when did this Concubine Qi become more and more stupid and disgusting to him?

The emperor's eyes became confused.

Nian Shilan and Yu Ying'er looked at each other, and finally Yu Ying'er was defeated. She stepped forward and held the emperor's hand, saying softly: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get sick because of Concubine Qi."

Perhaps it was the familiar and gentle voice that made the emperor slowly come back to his senses. He looked at Yu Ying'er quietly, as if... at the beginning of his memory, Yu Ying'er was also naive and silly, but also the most sincere.

Yu Ying'er can learn to be well-behaved, so why can't Concubine Qi learn it? It must be because she is not working hard enough. It is not my fault. It is Concubine Qi who does not know what is good for her. It is not my fault at all.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt it was right, and he nodded seriously.
