Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

This morning, when Zhen Huan was burning incense to the Bodhisattva, she felt that the incense was burning particularly beautifully. Just when she had a premonition that something good was going to happen today, Li Yu, who was beside the emperor, walked into the Xining Palace from outside with a letter and a smile on his face.

"Empress Dowager, there is good news from Junggar. The Emperor sent a team of elite soldiers to Junggar a few days ago to investigate the situation. They happened to see Dawachi fleeing with Princess Duanshu. They followed them all the way, and when the guards around Dawachi were careless, they stole Princess Duanshu out. I'm afraid they are heading towards the Qing Dynasty now!"

"Good! Good! Good stealing!"

Zhen Huan could not contain her joy, her heart was blossoming, she danced with joy and almost forgot the rules. She was so excited that she could hardly control herself. The ecstasy was like a flood that broke through a dam, making her forget all decency and only remember that her daughter was coming back.

Li Yu was specially sent by the Emperor to announce the good news to the Empress Dowager. Ever since the Emperor allowed Princess Duanshu to remarry, the relationship between mother and son seemed to have reached a freezing point, but it has eased now.

After Zhen Huan had Li Yu sent away, she paced back and forth in Xining Palace like an ant on hot pan, wishing she could be guarding the palace gate and see her daughter come back with her own eyes.

"Fujia, do you think I was confused today? Is my Hengchu really coming back? You heard what Li Yu, who was beside the emperor, said just now. I didn't hear it wrongly, did I?"

"Yes, Empress Dowager, our Princess Duanshu of the Qing Dynasty will be back in a few days. When the princess returns to Beijing, we will ask the emperor to divorce the traitor, and then our Empress Dowager and Princess Duanshu can be reunited as mother and daughter. Empress Dowager, you have been waiting for so long, and now you can finally get what you want."

"Yes, yes, I'll take another look at this letter. My Hengchu left me when she was young, and Concubine Jing passed away a few years ago. If I can't protect Hengchu, who else in the harem can protect my daughter? Good, good, the emperor finally cares about his sister. Fujia, go and find out where my daughter is now. This Xining Palace must be cleaned up in the future. I must keep Hengchu by my side. ...Yes, keep her by my side."

Seeing Zhen Huan talking to herself in such a disgraceful manner, Fujia, who was standing by, naturally felt mixed emotions. He had been with the Empress Dowager for so many years, but this was the first time he saw her so happy. She was like a child who had gotten the candy he had always dreamed of.

The news that Xining Palace was cleaning up the entire palace with great fanfare soon spread to the residence of Cining Palace Yixiu.

From a distance, Yixiu could vaguely hear the noise coming from Xining Palace, as if it was a sad song flowing slowly in the air.

Xiuxia stood quietly by the side like a sculpture, waiting for her master to send her. However, Yixiu had no intention of going out. She just sat quietly in the courtyard of Cining Palace, like a withered flower, silently listening to the sounds coming from Xining Palace not far away.

If her eldest prince had not died young, perhaps her Cining Palace would not be as deserted as it is now, but would be filled with laughter and joy.

Speaking of her poor child, Yixiu felt heartbroken! That was the precious child she had given birth to after ten months of pregnancy and all her efforts! However, just when the late emperor was congratulating his elder sister on her pregnancy, she experienced the most painful moment of her life - she watched her child die in her arms, and she was powerless and did nothing!

The emperor was always ruthless and unrighteous. He only cared about celebrating the good news of his elder sister's pregnancy, but did not care about Yixiu's grief over losing her child. Yixiu was filled with resentment and unwillingness, but what could she do? She was just a powerless concubine at the time.

In comparison, Yixiu's niece is much more insightful than her.

She knew how to please the emperor and how to protect herself and her children. But what about Yixiu? She had lived for most of her life, but she couldn't even protect her only child... This made her feel extremely guilty and regretful.

Whenever she thought of this, Yixiu couldn't stop her tears from flowing. She wished that time could go back to the past and protect her child again. But all this was irreversible...

Within a few days, the news that Princess Duan Shuchang was returning to the palace spread like wildfire throughout the palace, and even outside the palace. This news excited all the civil and military officials in the court, and they all took this opportunity to praise the emperor for his loyalty and filial piety. For a time, the emperor's previous state of exhaustion and mental depression due to busy government affairs disappeared without a trace.

As for Dawachi, he lost an important hostage after Princess Duanshu was secretly taken back to the palace by someone sent by the emperor. Now, Dawachi has been captured and escorted to the Qing Dynasty to be interrogated by the emperor himself. In the process of rectifying the Junggar tribe, the Yu family performed well, not only dispatching a large number of troops, but also providing generous financial support.

After all, the Yu clan was located near Junggar, and its geographical location was crucial. For this reason, the emperor was very pleased and gave generous rewards to the Yu clan prince and Jin Yuyan, with countless gold, silver and jewelry. In addition, the emperor also opened up a trade channel for the Yu clan, which enabled the Yu clan to gain huge economic benefits.

During this period of time, Jin Yuyan's status in the harem was at its peak, and she was in the limelight, and there was a trend that she would be canonized as a concubine by the emperor. Her favor made other concubines envious, but they could do nothing about it.

After all, in the deep palace, whether one can gain the emperor's favor often depends on many factors, and Jin Yuyan just seized this opportunity and successfully won the emperor's favor by relying on her family's power and her own charm.

However, the struggle in the harem is always treacherous, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Perhaps one day, another concubine will suddenly rise and take away Jin Yuyan's glory; or Jin Yuyan herself may accidentally make a mistake and fall out of favor, but now Jin Yuyan's days of favor have just begun.

Ruyi was concentrating on teaching Hailan and Gao Xiyue how to dress up. She personally instructed Gao Xiyue on how to change Hailan's makeup. After all, Ruyi had accompanied the emperor through two reincarnations and knew the type of women the emperor preferred.

"The emperor prefers women with a delicate style. Xiyue, you should draw Hailan's eyebrows more delicate and slender. As for makeup, try to use less..." Ruyi whispered.

However, the emperor is now unable to make women pregnant because of the medicine Ruyi gave him. Despite this, Ruyi still hopes to attract the emperor's attention to Hailan so that Hailan can gain a firm foothold in this treacherous harem in the future.

After all, as the emperor's concubine, having a child is undoubtedly the greatest guarantee. Especially Yongqi, the child born by Hailan in her previous life, Ruyi sincerely hopes that he can be born as soon as possible. In this way, with her current power and status, she can carefully plan his future in advance.

When Ruyi heard that the emperor had been overly doting on Yu and Jin Yuyan recently, she did not feel too upset. However, Gao Xiyue, who was sitting next to her, was very angry. She thought that the emperor was acting too absurdly and did not care about the face of her sister, the queen, or her, the imperial concubine.

You know, the amount of rewards that the emperor recently sent to Qixiang Palace is almost equal to the share that the imperial concubine and the queen deserve. Ruyi looked at Gao Xiyue, who was now angry and wide-eyed, and did not blame her. Instead, she smiled and gently pinched Gao Xiyue's soft and pink cheeks, and said softly:

"Why are you angry? It's just a small matter! This harem belongs to the emperor! The Yu family has made great contributions to our Qing Dynasty, so it is natural for the emperor to favor Concubine Jia! On the one hand, the emperor hopes that the women in the harem can trust him with their true hearts, and on the other hand, he hopes that these women are considerate, well-behaved and sensible. In the final analysis, the emperor wants this and that, which is really difficult to serve! Forget it, since Concubine Jia is in favor now, and you have never gotten along with her, try to avoid meeting her during this period. Lianxin, Moxin, Yexin, the rest of you go to the palace's warehouse to pick out some good things and send them to Qixiang Palace. Remember, you must wait until the emperor goes to Qixiang Palace before sending them there."

"Yes, the servants have all remembered it."

Xiyue pouted and spoke indignantly on behalf of Ruyi while combing Hailan's hair.

"The Emperor is going too far now! Concubine Jia is just a noble lady. Even if Yu is very capable, how can the reward she offers surpass that of the Empress? Humph, let her be proud for a few days. When her favor gradually declines, I will show you how I will deal with her! She even wants me to take care of Concubine Yi. What a fantasy! Bah! It's not easy for me to take care of myself. Do you think I'm a fool?"

The more Gao Xiyue thought about it, the angrier she became. She involuntarily increased the strength in her hands, causing Hailan to gasp in pain.

Gao Xiyue was shocked when she saw this, and quickly let go of her hands and hugged Hailan's head, blowing gently as if to comfort her own Jingfu, and said apologetically:

"Oh, Hailan, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Come, let me blow on your head, it won't hurt anymore, our Jingfu likes this trick."

Recently, Jin Yuyan has been in the limelight, and everyone in the palace is busy trying to curry favor with her. This sudden change has made her feel a little proud and self-important. However, all this has made Fu Cha Langya, who once looked down on her and always thought that she could only rely on herself, jealous and resentful.

In fact, the Fuca clan really put in a lot of effort in the conquest of Dzungar. They not only donated a large amount of gold, silver and treasures, but also contributed a lot of effort.

However, in the end, because Yu personally led and helped the Qing Dynasty plan the route to conquer Dzungar, the emperor now only remembers Yu's achievements and forgets the contributions made by Fucha.

At this moment, Jin Yuyan saw Fu Cha Langya wandering outside the palace from afar, so she hurriedly put on a smile, walked up to her quickly, and said flatteringly:

"Oh my, it's Sister Xianfei! Sister Xianfei actually took the initiative to visit my small Qixiang Palace today, which really adds a lot of color to this place!"

Fu Cha Langya was still hesitating whether to go in and give Jin Yuyan a gift, but now she saw that the other party had taken the initiative to come out to greet her and her words were full of flattery. If she didn't go in, it would seem a bit unkind.

Although Fucha Langya didn't have a good impression of Jin Yuyan, she understood that in this palace, one still had to save face. So, she smiled and said, "Yes, I heard that your mother's family, the Yu family, had made great achievements in the emperor's war against the Junggars recently. It was really admirable. So, I specially prepared some rewards, hoping to add some blessings to you. By the way, Concubine Yi has moved into your palace. Is everything going well? Here are some tonics that I prepared for Concubine Yi. Remember to supervise her to take them on time every day. It will be good for the heir in her belly."

When Jin Yuyan heard this, she nodded quickly and responded:

"Yes, I will keep your instructions in mind. Zhenshu, go serve tea to the Empress Xianfei and invite her to take a seat."

Fu Cha Langya looked at Jin Yuyan, who was once favored by the emperor but was now so humble in front of her, and the inexplicable anger in her heart subsided a little. She thought, this is how she should follow me.

However, Fu Cha Langya knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of the palace struggle. She knew that even if Jin Yuyan behaved submissively now, she could not take it lightly.
