Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Have the fourth prince and his concubine arrived?" The emperor looked behind him and did not see any trace of them, so he asked.

"Your Majesty, the two children got drunk in the Qianqing Palace and did not come with us. I don't know if they are awake now." Defei replied.

"Li Dequan, go and see if the two are sober. If they are, call them over. The moonlight tonight is so beautiful. It's a pity for them to miss it." The emperor said while holding Shu Fei's hand and looking at the moon. His eyes were unwilling to leave the moon. He was so greedy for the moonlight tonight.

"Yes." Li Dequan left in a hurry.

Hearing about Yinzhen and Nian Shilan, Yixiu's heart seemed to be cold. The emperor seemed to not see her. Everything was Nian Shilan. Was Nian Shilan so conspicuous? Who was the legitimate wife? Did Yinzhen call Nian Shilan over and leave Yixiu aside while Yinzhen held her hand?

Yixiu felt lost.

Defei noticed that something was wrong with Yixiu, and stepped forward to comfort her: "What's wrong, child? Are you unhappy because you heard about Nian?"

Yixiu smiled slightly, "Mother."

"You have to know that there are many unsatisfactory things in this world, and they will not change just because you are unhappy, disappointed or angry. Yinzhen dotes on Nian, but you also have to understand that no matter how favored Nian is, she is only a concubine. The position of concubine is still yours, and no one can shake it. Look at the emperor, he dotes on Shufei so much, do the other concubines show their emotions on their faces?" Defei said earnestly.

"Yes, mother, I understand."

Palace of Heavenly Purity...

"Oh my, my two ancestors, how come you are so drunk?" Li Dequan trotted all the way to the Qianqing Palace and saw that the two were drunk.

"What are you doing here, eunuch?" Yinzhen was unconscious, so Su Peisheng stepped forward and asked.

"The Emperor is admiring the moon in the Imperial Garden. He asked me to come and see if the Fourth Prince and the Concubine have woken up. If they are awake, call them both. It would be a pity to miss such a beautiful moonlight. But look, this, this, this..." Li Dequan repeated the whole story to Su Peisheng, but seeing the expressions of the two, he was afraid that he would not be able to report to the Emperor.

"Oh, Eunuch Li, you can see how the prince and his concubine are doing. How about this? If you have a sedan chair, send them back to the palace. I will go with you to report to the emperor." Su Peisheng smiled and gave Li Dequan some advice.

When Li Dequan heard this, it was not impossible. Since the two were so drunk, they had no choice but to go back home.

"Okay, then Eunuch Su, please follow me." Li Dequan said. Then, Li Dequan prepared the sedan chair and sent the two back to Prince Yong's mansion.

"Your Majesty." Li Dequan came before the emperor and said.

"You're back. Is the Fourth Prince here?" the emperor asked without even looking back.

Li Dequan didn't say anything.

"Your servant greets His Majesty." Su Peisheng knelt in front of the emperor. When he heard that it was neither Li Dequan's voice nor Yinzhen's voice, the emperor turned around to see who it was.

"Su Peisheng? Why are you here? Where is your prince?"

"In reply to the emperor, the prince and the concubine were drunk, so they asked Eunuch Li to prepare a sedan chair and go back to the palace first." Su Peisheng answered with his head down.

Return to the mansion? Yixiu's face darkened. Today was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the day when the first wife would sleep with him. If the two of them returned to the mansion, while she was still in the palace, wouldn't that mean that she would have given up the opportunity to sleep with him? No, she had to do something at this moment.

Yixiu walked forward slowly, "Your Majesty." She bowed and said, "I heard that the prince is drunk and it won't do without someone to take care of him. Why don't I go back to take care of him?" This made the emperor look at her with new eyes, and he praised her, "You are a virtuous child."

"Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. As a wife, I must fulfill my duties as a wife and take good care of my husband. That is only natural." Yixiu said with a smile.

"Since you have this intention, then go back."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty." Yixiu was happy at this moment. She could finally go back and get her man back.

As soon as she turned around, Yixiu's face immediately changed. Humph, virtuous? The good reputation of virtuous should be left to my sister. I, Yixiu, don't need it.

"Concubine Nian is so scheming that she actually uses drinking as a means to compete with you for the prince?" Jianqiu felt indignant for Yixiu.

"Hmph, tonight is the fifteenth night. The prince originally belongs to me. No one can take away what belongs to me, Yixiu." Yixiu immediately rushed to Prince Yong's mansion.

"Hurry up, faster." She kept urging.

As the night deepened and the temperature dropped, the emperor shuddered.

"What's wrong with you today? I don't feel cold, but I shivered."

"Your Majesty, it's late, let's go back. You see, it's getting colder. You must take care of yourself." Shu Fei advised.

"Okay, I'm tired too. It's getting late, let's go back." It was getting late, and it was time to disperse. After a night of hard work, everyone was exhausted.

"Where is the emperor going to rest today?" Li Dequan asked with a smile.

The emperor looked down at Shu Fei and said, "Go to Shu Fei."

"Yes."

"Move to Chengqian Palace." Li Dequan shouted.

"Farewell, His Majesty." Everyone bowed in unison and then dispersed.

Defei had long been accustomed to Shufei's exclusive favor. Besides, she loved Longkodo, not the emperor, and she didn't care in whose palace the emperor stayed.

"Jianqiu, hurry up, help me down." Yixiu handed Jianqiu his hand and hurriedly got off the carriage.

"Xiao Xiazi, is the prince back?" Seeing Xiao Xiazi working at the door, Yixiu stepped forward and asked.

Xiao Xiazi looked at Yixiu's panic and did not dare to neglect her at all. "Reply to Madam, the prince is back. He just came in and is now in Madam Nian's room." After hearing this, it was just as Yixiu guessed. He was at Nian Shilan's place again. He rushed in with his eyes wide open. At this moment, she looked like she wanted to eat someone. She hurried to the door of Nian Shilan's room.

Zhou Ninghai, who was working at the door, saw this and felt that something was wrong. He stepped forward to stop them and said, "I am here to pay my respects to Madam Fu-jin. I wonder what you are doing here."

"Open the door!" Yixiu said sternly.

"The prince and the concubine have already gone to bed. If the concubine insists on doing so, it will not be a good idea. It is late at night, please go back and rest early." Zhou Ninghai blocked the door and still refused to let her in.

Yixiu was so angry that she winked at Jianqiu, signaling her to open the door. Jianqiu obeyed and did as Yixiu asked.

"Aunt Jianqiu, this is not good. Don't blame me." Zhou Ninghai grabbed Jianqiu and controlled her. The two sides were in a stalemate, evenly matched, neither of them giving in, and the atmosphere was full of tension.
