A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

It turned out that Xiao Rui had known from the beginning that these people had the intention of rebellion.

It started with Concubine Shen entering the palace, and then Prince Anling persuaded him to keep the actor He Yiru into the palace. Unfortunately, the actor was unlucky and was burned to death by Concubine Shu not long after entering the palace.

Concubine Shen was of noble status and extremely cunning, so Zhao Yunshan placed everything on his daughter.

He ordered people to take care of Concubine Shen's health and hoped that she would give birth to an imperial heir as soon as possible.

Xiao Rui then helped them by arranging a "fake pregnancy" to make them think victory was certain and force them to revolt.

He later learned about the private affair between Concubine Shen and Prince Anling. As Concubine Shen's child was about to be born, Prince Anling would definitely find a way to return from the northern border.

Therefore, Xiao Rui specially wrote a secret letter to Gu Zishan, asking him to be on guard against King Anling, and to take advantage of the situation and let the tiger go back to the mountains if necessary.

"Now that the war in the northern border has ended, why don't you stay in the capital? I will appoint you as a first-class divine general!" Xiao Rui said to Gu Zishan.

"We can still be like we were in our childhood, helping each other when we are busy, and going out of the palace to hunt in our spare time. It's so happy!"

Gu Zishan knew clearly that the higher the official position the emperor gave him, the more people in the court would covet him. Moreover, his achievements were greater than those of his master, so he had to be in a high position and far away in the frontier to reassure the emperor. Zhao Yunshan was a living example.

"The emperor must confer this position! I have really worked hard in this battle!" Gu Zishan said with great ambition.

"As for staying in the capital, there is no need for that! There are always enemies on this border who want to cause chaos in Daqing. With me guarding the border, they dare not act rashly!"

"Your Majesty is in the palace, and I am here to guard the border for you! Besides, there are too many rules and regulations in the palace, so I'd rather be free outside, hahaha."

Xiao Rui looked at Gu Zishan with relief. He also wanted to stay with Gu Zishan, but Gu Zishan was full of lofty ambitions, so he would not force Gu Zishan to stay with him.

Xiao Rui said, "Okay, then it's up to you. But this time when you return to Beijing, you have to stay a few more days before leaving. I will arrange a celebration banquet for you and Xiao Yi in two days."

Gu Zishan agreed immediately, "Okay! It's been a while since I last saw that kid Xiao Yi!"

Celebration Banquet Day

"Haitang, go check if the banquet is ready? When serving the dishes, remind them to serve them according to everyone's taste!"

"Yingcan, go check on the arrangement of the song and dance. There must not be any mistakes!"

The emperor gave the responsibility of hosting the celebration banquet to Song Qingwan, who was so busy that she had no time to keep up.

At this time, Yu Guiren came over just in time, "Empress Yu, let me see if there is anything I can help you with?"

Song Qingwan patted Concubine Yu on the shoulder and said, "What a good sister! I need you right now!"

Concubine Yu smiled and said, "I knew it, so I came quickly~"

Song Qingwan said, "Xiangxiang just gave birth and is weak. I'm afraid she can't come. I'm really grateful to you for always showing up when I need you."

Concubine Yu shrugged. "It's boring for me to be wandering alone in a foreign country. I might as well help my "good friend" solve his problems."

Song Qingwan chuckled, "Hehehe, then come and see how the layout is here?"

As the two talked, they walked out arm in arm.

That night

"I would like to offer a toast to you all. Everyone here has made an invaluable contribution. Thanks to you, you have protected the Daqing kingdom for me!" Xiao Rui stood up and said.

Everyone stood up with their glasses in hand and said, "Cheers to the Emperor!"

Gu Zishan took a sip of the wine and said, "This wine is really good! The things in the palace are still the best, the food is delicious, and the wine is delicious too!"

After hearing this, Xiao Rui looked at Song Qingwan and said, "Then you should thank Concubine Yu very much. She was the one who arranged today's banquet."

Gu Zishan had not been to the palace for a long time. He had only heard of Concubine Yu's name but had never seen her in person.

"Who is Concubine Yu? I offer you a toast!"

Song Qingwan stood up with the teacup in hand and said, "General, you are too polite. I am here to return the favor."

This was the first time Gu Zishan met Song Qingwan. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. She had fair skin, delicate features, bright eyebrows and white teeth, and her eyes were also clear and bright. However, he did not have any evil thoughts and said openly:

"Empress Yu is outstanding in appearance and kind-hearted. Your Majesty is so lucky!"

Xiao Rui couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, everyone sit down."

Xiao Yi couldn't help but praise, "The banquet prepared by Concubine Yu for us is a work of great care. Thank you, Concubine Yu!"

Song Qingwan smiled slightly. "Prince Yu, you are too polite. This is my duty. Your Highness, please eat and drink well."

Xiao Yi nodded, "Yeah."

However, some people here are unhappy. Song Qingwan's comeback will not be good for the fifth prince Chenyou.

Zuo Wenyi said to Concubine Ru in a sarcastic tone, "Madam Concubine Ru, how could I remember that Concubine Yu was stripped of her title and demoted to a noble lady?"

Rupin said coldly, "Who knows? The emperor has clearly issued an edict, and he didn't restore Concubine Song to her position."

The two of them sang in unison.

But before Song Qingwan could speak in person, Xiao Rui said, "What happened last time was all a misunderstanding. Concubine Shen faked her pregnancy to win favor and deceived the emperor. She has been demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life!"

"And Concubine Yu made this suggestion with good intentions. I intend to promote Concubine Yu to the position of Imperial Concubine, and have her rule over the six palaces!"

"And Rupin and Kang Guiren, you two, for speaking nonsense, will each be fined three months' salary!"

Concubine Ru and Zuo Wenyi looked at each other in disbelief, but because the emperor had already issued an order, the two had to accept the punishment even if they were reluctant.

The two said, "Yes, I understand."

Song Qingwan was also confused. She did not expect that the emperor would suddenly promote her. She stood up in a daze to express her gratitude.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yi sat in the crowd and looked at Song Qingwan, feeling genuinely happy for her.

The enthronement ceremony will be held soon.

Ling Xiangxiang was promoted to Concubine An, and Concubine Yu was promoted to Concubine Yu, and they assisted Song Qingwan in managing the harem.

When the news of Song Qingwan's promotion to Concubine Yu spread outside the palace, Song Zhicheng (Song Qingwan's father) was extremely happy!

宋府

"Hahahaha, great, great, you are worthy of being my, Song Zhicheng's daughter. You have actually become a noble concubine. I can just look forward to a meteoric rise in your career!" Song Zhicheng laughed.

Ma Wenhui was both happy and a little jealous. Although she was proud of being the stepmother, Song Qingwan was not her biological daughter after all.

"Now that she has become a royal concubine, she should also help her brothers at home! Don't just care about your own glory and forget about other people in the family!" Ma Wenhui said.

After listening to this, Song Zhicheng felt that it made sense. "Madam is right. I will write to her right away and ask her to find a way to arrange it!"

Ma Wenhui said happily, "That's more like it! And there are two of us. You have to be a first-rank or second-rank official. I have to be Madam Haoming at least!"

Song Zhicheng slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!"

Palace

After receiving the letter, Song Qingwan's face turned blue with anger.

"Song Zhicheng and Ma Wenhui are really pushing their luck!"

"I have been busy dealing with the rebels these days and forgot to deal with them!"
