Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

63

Jin Yuyan spoke very slowly, then lowered her eyes, pinched her clothes subconsciously, sniffed lightly, and said in a very aggrieved voice

"It's just that, Lady Yi, can you please not bring these things to the attention of the Concubine Xian? I don't have anyone to rely on in this palace. I just treat you as a good sister, so I want to make good plans for you and your unborn child. If I lose the support of the Concubine Xian in the future, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult for me to stay in this harem."

Huang Qiying took the initiative to hold Jin Yuyan's cold hands, gave her a gentle smile, and said with gratitude

"I understand. How could I push you away if you are so kind to me? You are right, but the Concubine Xian has already set her eyes on the prince in my belly. I am of humble status, so how can I disobey the Concubine Xian's order?"

Jin Yuyan sneered at an angle that Huang Qiying couldn't see, but the moment she raised her head again, her expression changed.

"If there are ladies with higher status than Concubine Xian who can take the initiative to step forward and express their willingness to take care of you and your unborn child, then perhaps things will turn around! After all, the struggles in the palace are not something that ordinary people can handle, not to mention that you are pregnant now, you are simply a sitting duck in the harem! The Fourth Princess has been raised in the Cining Palace and the Xining Palace since she was born. If you are still pregnant with a princess this time, I'm afraid Concubine Xian will blame all her disappointment on you! Besides, you are about to become a mother now, and I believe you know that the child coming out of your belly is different from other children."

Huang Qiying had previously only thought about how to find a foster mother with a strong background and a high status for her child in the future, but she had not considered other aspects. However, after listening to what Jin Yuyan said, she couldn't help but fall into deep thought: Should she really give the baby in her belly to someone else to raise?

After all, the emperor had told her personally that the empress had promised to grant her a concubine position after she gave birth to a dragon descendant safely, regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, and to allow her to raise the child herself... In this way, it seemed that all problems were solved. But what if it was really as Jin Yuyan worried - what if she gave birth to a daughter and was treated coldly or even retaliated by the virtuous concubine? Thinking of this, Huang Qiying became more and more entangled and uneasy...

Jin Yuyan stayed in Jingyang Palace for more than an hour before she was contented and took Zhenshu back to her own Qixiang Palace. Along the way, the two talked and laughed, as if they had just experienced something very interesting.

After arriving at Qixiang Palace, Jin Yuyan finally couldn't hold back her inner joy and laughed out loud in the room:

"Oh, I originally thought that Concubine Yi was such a smart character, but now I see that she is just so-so! What Concubine Xian said was true, Concubine Yi only has a pretty face, but there is nothing in her brain. I just pretended to be pitiful and told her a few words about Concubine Xian's cruel methods, and she immediately took the bait and begged me to help her save the baby in her belly. Oh, she is so stupid, funny and cute!"

After hearing this, Zhenshu also smiled and quickly handed the brewed tea to Jin Yuyan, and echoed:

"Master, you are absolutely right! That noble lady Yi is a complete fool, and you played her into your hands with just a few words. If your plan succeeds, your position in the palace will surely be further improved in the future. By then, let's see who dares to go against you, Master!"

After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other, with pride in their eyes.

Zhenshu paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and continued:

"Master, you are so smart that you can guess that Concubine Yi will be convinced by your words. However, although the prescription we gave Concubine Yi can indeed help pregnant women fall asleep, if it and the gas emitted by the candles that have been lit in the house for a long time are inhaled by Concubine Yi, then even if the fetus in her belly can be born smoothly, I am afraid that in the future..."

Having said that, Zhenshu couldn't help but reveal a hint of doubt.

Jin Yuyan raised her head slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible pride in her eyes. She glanced lightly at Zhenshu who was standing beside her, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Then she continued cheerfully:

"That's right. No matter what you do, you need to be doubly prepared. If we can successfully blame the Imperial Concubine for the miscarriage of Concubine Yi, that would be great. Humph, if you want to blame someone, blame Concubine Gao Bin, her biological father, for being too stubborn. He firmly opposed the Emperor's opening of business with our Yu Clan, which made the trade cooperation that the Prince had worked so hard to prepare go down the drain, causing our Yu Clan to be despised by the surrounding tribes. When I get pregnant with a dragon descendant in the future, our Yu Clan will be able to improve its status among the Qing Dynasty's allies!"

In Jin Yuyan's heart, nothing can compare to the importance of Yu family and the prince. At the beginning, she traveled thousands of miles and left her hometown to come to the Qing Dynasty, just hoping to do her part for the prince and help him realize his wish.
