Legend of Zhen Huan: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

"Greetings to my mother."

Yinzhen and Yixiu came to Yonghe Palace and paid their respects to Concubine De.

"Get up."

Defei looked serious, not as friendly as before, so she must have something important to tell her. Yixiu also frowned when she saw this.

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager wants us to do?"

Defei glanced at Zhuxi and asked her to take the servants away. After the door was closed, she slowly spoke.

"Yinzhen, do you still remember the palace maid you sent to the Old Summer Palace?" Defei looked at Yinzhen who was silent.

"My son remembers."

Yixiu and the Queen Mother looked at each other tacitly. When she was mentioned, it must be that something big had happened.

"Could it be..."

Yixiu hesitated to speak, not daring to speculate any further.

Concubine De sighed lightly, "Yes, she is pregnant. It's yours, Your Highness."

"what?!"

Yinzhen had an expression of disbelief. It was only once that night, how could it be such a coincidence.

Yixiu was also shocked and speechless. She was drunk and favored a palace maid, but she didn't expect to have the prince's child. However, Li Jingui was of low status, so Defei and Yinzhen would not allow her to give birth to this child.

"This palace maid is pregnant, which is a serious crime. I wonder how mother plans to deal with it?"

"Deal with her? She is pregnant with the prince's child, what do you think we should do?" Defei looked at Yixiu and asked.

She knew that Yixiu naturally didn't want to keep the child, and was just waiting for her to ask. Over the years, she knew how many children in the palace had been killed by Yixiu, and she knew everything about Rouze's death, but she just turned a blind eye for the sake of Ulanara and Uya.

"I think that this child cannot be kept. His biological mother was just a palace maid. If this gets out in the future, it will damage the reputation of the royal family. While the child is still young, it is better to..." Yixiu said while looking at the expressions of Concubine De and Yinzhen tentatively.

After Yixiu finished speaking, Defei ignored her and turned her gaze to Yinzhen who remained silent.

"Prince Yong, what do you think?"

"My son doesn't have many children. There are so many women in the palace, and now there is only Hongshi. Just give birth to him and raise him."

"It's the same as what I thought. I think so too. Although his biological mother is just a palace maid, I can find him a mother of noble status in the future. What's the difficulty?"

The two of them discussed among themselves and no longer asked for Yixiu's opinion.

"Since both mother and the prince say so, it is of course great. The palace hasn't been lively for a long time." Yixiu followed the two's wishes.

Although she said this, what she was thinking in her heart was how to get rid of this child!

Prince Yong's Mansion

"Hey, sister, do you feel that something big is going to happen?" Nian Shilan said to Qi Yuebin.

"Big deal? What do you mean?"

Qi Yuebin naturally didn't understand what Nian Shilan meant. Why did he say that out of the blue?

"Today, I was paying respects to the concubine in her room. Sister saw it too. Xiao Xiazi came to pass on a message that the Empress Defei asked the prince and the concubine to come to the palace for a chat. She called two people at the same time. Sister thought, how could there be no big deal?"

Nian Shilan smiled, and her expression clearly told Qi Yuebin that she knew something.

"Sister, do you know something?"

Qi Yuebin is a smart man, so it is not difficult for him to see it.

"My sister is just guessing. Nothing major has happened in the palace recently. It was just that the Empress Defei went to stay at the Old Summer Palace with the Emperor a few days ago. But sister, think about it again, who else is in the Old Summer Palace?"

Qi Yuebin was stunned for a while and began to think. Obviously, Nian Shilan was talking about Li Jingui, the only one who had some connection with the palace.

"Sister, are you talking about Li Jingui, the one the prince favored for a night when he was drunk a few months ago?" Qi Yuebin understood it immediately.

Seeing Nian Shilan nodded, she continued, "Could it be that she is pregnant, or something else happened?"

If I think about it carefully, it has been several months. If I was lucky enough to get pregnant with the prince's child that night, it is unknown.

"I think she is pregnant. If she is really pregnant, do you think she can give birth to the baby?"

"That's hard to say." Qi Yuebin shook his head meaningfully.

She had been in the palace for so long, and she knew Yixiu very well what kind of person she was. Otherwise, how could Hongshi be the only child in the palace for so many years.

As he was speaking, Zhou Ninghai walked in from outside and said that Yinzhen and Yixiu had returned.

Naturally, the two of them looked at each other tacitly.

"How do the prince and his wife look?" Nian Shilan asked, eager to know what was going on.

Zhou Ninghai smiled and said, "The prince's blue is fine, but the wife looks very worried."

After hearing what Zhou Ninghai said, the two of them had the answer in their hearts.

"Go and invite the prince to come for dinner later."

Nian Shilan invited Yinzhen to come over to see how he would react, including Yixiu. I remember that in the previous life, Li Jingui gave birth to a prince, who had been raised in Yuanmingyuan. Because Li Jingui was ugly, the child was not welcomed. If I offered to raise the child in this life, I wonder if Yinzhen would agree.

But we can't be too hasty. After all, Yinzhen is still on guard against himself and the Nian family, otherwise he wouldn't appreciate Huan Yixiang.

"Since my sister wants to invite the prince over, I won't stay any longer. Sister, remember, you must keep the things I give you well." Qi Yuebin reminded her again before leaving.

Ever since Yixiu found out about this, her mood has been written all over her face, and she has been looking unhappy.

"Fujin, don't be angry. She is just a palace maid who does menial tasks. She won't amount to anything great." Jianqiu hurriedly comforted her upon seeing this.

"Although she is a palace maid of humble origin, she is pregnant now, so we cannot take it lightly. It has always been a serious crime for a palace maid to be pregnant, but this time, even the Empress Defei is protecting her, which shows how serious it is."

Many women in the palace were childless, but a maidservant got pregnant after just one night of luck. How could Yixiu be happy? If it was in the palace, it would be easier to do it, but it was far away in the Old Summer Palace. If the child was really born in the future... No, I can't just wait for the child to be born.

"By the way, let's clean up and invite His Majesty to come for dinner. His Majesty must be tired after being busy for so many days." Yixiu said coldly while sitting on the couch.

But she didn't know that Nian Shilan had also invited Yinzhen to dinner tonight, so she probably couldn't invite him.

"Yes." Jianqiu bowed and left immediately.
