Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

When the Empress learned about the incident at Jingyang Palace, she immediately sent her most capable aunt Lianxin to inform Concubine Yi. The Empress said that although Concubine Zhang was the adopted daughter of Ulanara, there was no master at Jingyang Palace at the moment, so there was no need to be wary of each other.

The Queen Mother seemed to want to maintain the balance of Jingyang Palace and suppress Zhang Minmin's arrogance. So she decisively appointed Xiao Dezi as the chief eunuch of Jingyang Palace.

If Xiao Dezi was just a eunuch beside Concubine Yi, then Zhang Minmin might dare to bully him easily. However, now Xiao Dezi has been promoted to the chief eunuch of Jingyang Palace, and his status is different from the past.

If Zhang Minmin wants to take action against him, she must think carefully, because doing so may cause dissatisfaction from the Queen and other consequences.

It can be said that the Queen's decision not only demonstrated her wisdom and means, but also made the situation in Jingyang Palace more subtle and complicated.

Ruyi listened to Lianxin's vivid description after she came back from Jingyang Palace, and felt her head ache more and more. She stopped trimming the branches, rubbed her eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Mr. Zhang, you don't know how to restrain yourself."

Lian Xin said angrily, "That's right! Master, that Concubine Zhang is really arrogant. When I went there, the maids and eunuchs were kneeling in a circle outside the Jingyang Palace. The eunuch Xiao Dezi who was originally with Concubine Yi was almost beaten to death by Concubine Zhang. When Concubine Zhang saw me, she wanted to get close to me, but she was arrogant to Concubine Yi. Tell me, does she really think that you, Master, are her biggest backer in this harem?"

Ruyi frowned slightly, thinking to herself. She naturally understood the purpose of Concubine Zhang's behavior, which was nothing more than wanting to use her power to dominate the harem. However, how could Ruyi be easily plotted against? She snorted coldly and continued to prune the branches. With a click, she cut off the yellowed flower bud in the flowerpot.

Seeing this, 惢心, who was standing by, hurriedly brought a basin of clean water and said softly, "Master, wash your hands first." Ruyi nodded, immersed her hands in the water, and washed away the dirt and debris on her hands. When Ruyi finished washing her hands, Lianxin had already taken out a towel and handed it to her. Ruyi took the towel, gently wiped her hands, and then put the towel aside.

At this moment, Ruyi's eyes fell on the pot of trimmed flowers again. She stared at it thoughtfully for a moment, and said, "When will the struggle in the harem end..." There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her voice.

However, with Lianxin and惢心 serving by her side, Ruyi felt that her monotonous days in Changchun Palace had become much more interesting. Rong Pei was thoughtful and outspoken, but she was not as smooth and eloquent as惢心 and Lianxin, so she simply let her follow her two children and serve them as a nanny.

However, Rong Pei did a very good job. One after another, concubines who had given birth to children in the harem came to Ruyi specifically to ask for advice from Rong Pei, saying that they hoped Rong Pei could return to their palace and teach the maids who served the princes and princesses.

Because the servants around Ruyi were very capable, her entire Changchun Palace was full of her confidants from top to bottom. If someone from other palaces tried to plant a spy in her palace today, this person might have just been sent in in the morning and would be thrown out by noon.

When Ruyi thought of Zhang Minmin who now lives in Jingyang Palace, she felt as if she saw a woman who relied on the favor of a man to do evil and act arrogantly in the harem.

Zhang Minmin is so similar to myself in my previous life, both are complete idiots!

Ruyi sneered in her heart, "It's okay. Concubine Zhang is the emperor's sweetheart. How to act is naturally decided by the emperor. What does it have to do with me? I have already given Zhang a respectable status. What she will do in the future depends entirely on Concubine Zhang's own luck."

Time passed quickly and it was evening. Zhang Minmin sat in front of the bronze mirror, letting the palace maids dress her up. She looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help feeling a little proud.

At this time, a young eunuch came in with a bowl of bird's nest and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, please have your meal."

Zhang Minmin took the bowl and took a sip. She felt that the bird's nest was sweet and delicious. She nodded with satisfaction and said to the eunuch, "This is a reward for you."

The young eunuch thanked him and left.

Zhang Minmin continued to enjoy the food, but she began to think in her heart. She knew that it was not easy to survive in this harem.

Although the emperor dotes on her now, no one knows how long this favor will last. Therefore, she must find a way to consolidate her position.

At this moment, Zhang Minmin suddenly noticed the maids and eunuchs serving in the room. They all lowered their heads and did things carefully, for fear of angering the new noble. Zhang Minmin suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. She felt that she now had power and status and could use these people at will.

The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile. However, she did not realize that behind this seemingly prosperous appearance, there were countless crises and challenges hidden...

Thinking back to the past, she was just an ordinary citizen, serving others with all her heart and soul every day, but now it is completely different! Ever since she hooked up with the emperor, the most noble man in the world, she felt that her life had changed dramatically. From now on, she can finally live the rich and luxurious life she has always dreamed of in this prosperous harem - wearing brocade clothes and wearing gold and silver jewelry.

What's even more exciting is that the emperor had earlier sent Li Yu to Jingyang Palace to convey his will, saying that he would come in person to have dinner with Zhang Minmin tonight. This is a great gift for Zhang Minmin!

When she thought about spending a wonderful time with the emperor, her heart was filled with anticipation and joy. At this moment, she was eagerly waiting for the night to fall, looking forward to the exciting moment coming soon...

Early in the morning, Zhang Minmin had already gotten up and was making careful preparations for her first audience with the emperor after entering the palace.

When she was outside the palace, she was used to taking care of herself, so at this moment, she skillfully and gently scattered her hair and cleverly tied it into a double spiral bun, with only a pure gold hairpin as an embellishment. This dress was deeply loved by the emperor.

Especially when she wore a few flowers on her head, the emperor once joked, "You look like a flower picker." Zhang Minmin gazed at herself in the mirror, looking fresh, lively and even more gorgeous.

She carefully adjusted the arc of her smile. Her affectionate eyes and slightly curved mouth corners revealed deep dimples, which made people fall in love with her.

The gauze nightgown, as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as smoke, covered Zhang Minmin's body softly like clouds and mist, just outlining her graceful curves, but also covering them up, giving people a hazy and mysterious beauty. The bright red color of the nightgown made her exposed skin crystal clear, white as jade, and as warm and delicate as mutton-fat white jade.

At this moment, the emperor hurried in from outside. He saw Zhang Minmin, who was pregnant but still as innocent and lovely as a girl, staring at him with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Minmin pouted her lips slightly, stretched out her arms to the emperor with a look of grievance, and said to him coquettishly:

"Shiro~ I thought you didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore since you didn't come to see me for such a long time."

There was a hint of sorrow and coquettishness in her voice, which made people feel pity for her.

Zhang Minmin's pitiful, delicate and artificial appearance made the emperor feel so distressed! He hurried forward, wishing he could hug her tightly in his arms and love her.

However, when the emperor's eyes fell on Zhang Minmin's slightly bulging belly, the lust in his eyes subsided silently.

He tried his best to restrain himself, swallowed his saliva, and then carefully examined Zhang Minmin's body with a concerned look, fearing that she had suffered some hardship in the cold palace.

After the emperor was sure that Zhang Minmin had no external injuries, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion:

"Fortunately, you are fine. After all, I am the king of a country. If I bring you into the palace easily, you will become the target of public criticism in this treacherous harem with your lack of background. It is better to let you stay in the cold palace for a while. Minmin, you are even more beautiful now. It is all because of my mistreatment of you and your son that you have to endure such suffering."

Zhang Minmin gently nestled her head in the emperor's broad chest, like a cute little kitten, and acted coquettishly on the emperor. She grew up in a brothel since she was a child, so she naturally knew how to please men.

"Silang, don't worry, Minmin understands. From now on in this palace, Minmin can no longer get along with Silang as freely as she did in the folk before. Today is the last time Minmin calls the emperor like this. From now on, Minmin will work hard to learn the rules of the palace and will never let the emperor feel troubled. Being able to enter the palace to accompany the emperor must be the result of Minmin's devout prayers in front of the Bodhisattva every night." Zhang Minmin said softly.

However, when the emperor heard her last sentence, he frowned slightly and interrupted her unconsciously: "This time you can enter the palace, all thanks to the queen's initiative to grant you the identity of Ulanara. In the future in this harem, you must follow the queen well. She is my legitimate wife, magnanimous and dignified, you don't need to worry. You just need to take good care of the fetus in your belly in this palace."

The emperor's tone revealed an indescribable majesty and solemnity, as if reminding Zhang Minmin of her position and responsibilities. Zhang Minmin's heart tightened, realizing that her words just now might be a little inappropriate, but she quickly adjusted her mood and showed a well-behaved and sensible smile, expressing her obedience to the emperor and respect for the queen.

Zhang Minmin nodded obediently and didn't say anything, but she could tell in her heart that the emperor seemed to be very partial to the queen.

But after all, she was the first wife, so her feelings were naturally different from those of others. It was just that the queen was naturally not as young and beautiful as herself, and she was not as pleasing to the emperor as herself.

If she gave birth to a prince in the future and tried to make him a leisurely prince for the emperor, then the status and position of her Zhang family would be very different from before starting from her generation.

The emperor touched Zhang Minmin's hair lovingly. Zhang Minmin's body was even more exposed under the cover of the gauze dress. The emperor loved Zhang Minmin's face and her good figure the most.

However, these women outside are sometimes better at serving people than the noble ladies in the harem. Every time the emperor rests with Zhang Minmin on the bed, he feels like a man showing his masculinity.

Because Zhang Minmin is now pregnant, the emperor originally just wanted to come to Jingyang Palace to see her. After having dinner with Zhang Minmin, he would go to Qixiang Palace to take a look.

But unfortunately, Zhang Minmin didn't give him any chance to leave and held him tightly. After all, it was the first time he was alone after entering the palace. The emperor was quite indulgent towards Zhang Minmin's willfulness and just let her go.

-

The next day, when Zhang Minmin got up from the bed with a happy face, the emperor was no longer beside her.

The emperor was worried that he would be bullied by others in the harem, so he specially placed the jade pendant on his body by his side last night, saying that if he encountered any trouble in the future, he could just take the jade pendant and enter and leave the Palace of Tranquil Longevity freely.
