Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Li Yu lowered his head and led Aunt Fujia in front. When Li Yu led people into the house, he saw the emperor pretending to pick up the memorials on the table, as if he was completely focused on government affairs.

Aunt Fujia glanced at the two young girls behind her, then knelt down respectfully and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager knows that you are the purest and most filial person. Since the death of Concubine Yi, the Empress Dowager has noticed that you have lost a lot of weight, so she has specially selected a few women with decent looks from among the civil and military officials in the court. You can take the initiative to come forward and let the Emperor take a look."

"Yes~"

The woman's gentle and clear voice suddenly rang out in the room, like a yellow oriole singing out of a valley, melodious and lingering, and like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and pleasant. This beautiful voice made Li Yu, who was serving on the side, feel that half of his body was about to go numb, and the emperor felt as if countless ants were crawling on his body, itching unbearably.

However, after hearing the soft voice, the emperor raised his head slightly. Although the movement was not big, Fujia, who had been paying attention to the emperor's line of sight, keenly caught it. She followed the emperor's gaze and naturally did not miss the surprise and desire that flashed in the emperor's eyes after he saw the face of the woman on the left.

Fujia was full of confidence when she came. She was confident in the two women she had chosen. The one on the right was not as pretty, but she was pretty, knew how to serve people, and had a good family background. The one on the left was even more outstanding. Her appearance was so beautiful that she could be compared with the imperial concubine who was now the most favored in the harem. Such a combination would surely satisfy the emperor.

No matter what, the emperor will definitely leave one behind.

The emperor lazily raised his finger, as if he had accidentally picked a woman, and said in a cold tone,

"What's your name?"

Yihuan raised her head, her fair skin and bright eyes, clear and cold, gave people the feeling of a burning ebony agarwood. Yihuan just stood there quietly, with a cold gaze, a small and pointed oval face, her face was as cold as ice, and her eyes were like stars, giving people a sense of distance.

But when she saw the emperor, her cold eyebrows bent again, showing a little more tenderness, which immediately attracted the emperor's entire attention.

When Yihuan stepped forward to pay her respects to the Emperor, she took small steps with her slender waist, her eyes were filled with a hint of hope and tenderness for the Emperor. Her dimples, as sweet as jade, were more beautiful than flower buds, and her every frown and smile was captivating.

"In reply to the emperor's words, I am Yi Huan, my father is the Minister Nalan Yongshou, a member of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner."

"Yihuan, that's a good name. What's your last name?"

Yi Huan frowned slightly, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in a flat tone,

"Yehena clan."

It was just this surname that made the emperor, who was originally approaching Yihuan, step back a little. Someone once predicted that the Aisin-Gioro royal family would be destroyed by a woman from the Yehenara clan in the future.

However, the emperor looked at the fresh and beautiful woman in front of him and was reluctant to let her go back to get married. The emperor did not completely believe the rumor in his heart, but as an emperor, he had to be on guard sometimes.

In the end, beauty triumphed over reason.

"Well, you will stay by my side from now on. Li Yu, take Concubine Shu to Chuxiu Palace."

When Yihuan heard that the emperor was willing to keep her, a hint of shyness flashed across her cold expression. She then bowed to the emperor and Aunt Fujia, and left with Li Yu.

Lu Muping, who was waiting on the side, had her face flushed with anxiety, but she didn't dare to say anything. Now that Yihuan had left, Lu Muping breathed a sigh of relief, as it was finally her turn.

However, after seeing Yi Huan's cold face, and then looking at Lu Mu Ping who was relatively ordinary in appearance, the emperor was not very interested. Seeing this, Aunt Fujia immediately took the initiative to introduce her.

"Your Majesty, this is the daughter of Lu Shilong, a third-rank scholar. Her name is Lu Muping."

Upon hearing this, the Emperor simply glanced at the woman next to Aunt Fujia, nodded to himself, and said indifferently,

"Yes, she is quite festive looking. Since the Empress Dowager has chosen her, she must have some outstanding qualities. You should be given the title of Consort Qing. You can live in Chuxiu Palace with Consort Shu in the future. You two already know each other, so you can take care of each other."

After saying these words, the emperor turned his attention back to the memorials on the table and never looked up at Lu Muping in the room again.

Lu Muping looked at the place where Yihuan had just stood with some jealousy. Wasn't it just that she was not as stunning as Yihuan? Did the emperor have to do it so obviously? The emperor didn't look like this when Yihuan hadn't left just now.

-

After leaving the house, Fujia found a place where no one was around, turned around and advised Lu Muping, who was obviously unhappy behind him,

"Lady Qing, the Empress Dowager has chosen you and Lady Shu to serve the Emperor in the future. If the Emperor favors you, your life will naturally be better. But if the Emperor doesn't favor you, isn't there still the Empress Dowager in the harem? Lady Qing has received the Emperor's pity today, so don't forget who sent you to this position in the future."

Lu Muping's brows relaxed, she walked forward with a smile, took Aunt Fujia's hand, and answered warmly.

"Of course, I will remember the kindness that the Empress Dowager has shown me. Thank you for your help today, Auntie. In the future, I will let my father serve the Empress Dowager well in the court."

Lu Muping knew that she was not as pretty as Yihuan, but the Queen Mother chose her anyway. Besides, although Yihuan was prettier than her, her service skills might not be as good as hers.

It is still unknown who will be more fortunate between her and Yihuan in the future.

The Empress Dowager chose herself and Yihuan to be pawns by the Emperor's side. Looking at the Emperor's attitude towards her today, Lu Muping felt that her favor might be limited in this life. If she could please the Empress Dowager, her family might be able to prosper even more in the future under the previous dynasty.

……

Chuxiu Palace

Yihuan looked at every detail of the palace with fascination, and felt as if she were dreaming.

I remember that the first time I met the emperor was at Anhua Temple outside the palace. I didn't expect that my dream would come true and I would become the emperor's concubine. In the future, I would be able to get close to the man I fell in love with at first sight.

"Master, Miss Lu who entered the palace with you has now been named Consort Qing by the Emperor. She will live with you in Chuxiu Palace. The Emperor said that you will have someone to take care of you in the future."
