Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Yehenara's face was as beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, leaving a deep impression on the emperor. The emperor's love for her grew stronger, and he favored Yihuan for half a month. Except for the fifteenth day of each month when he went to Changchun Palace for a short stay according to the rules, the emperor stayed in Chuxiu Palace where Yihuan lived almost all the rest of the time.

However, Yehenara was not the only noble lady in Chuxiu Palace. The emperor was so busy with Yihuan that he seemed to have completely forgotten that there was a noble lady named Qing in the side hall. When Zhen Huan first sent them to the palace, she hoped that they could support each other and serve the emperor together. Who would have thought that the two of them would completely break up because of the emperor.

During the emperor's absence, Lu Muping finally couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction and took the initiative to come to Yihuan to express her thoughts. She begged Yihuan to persuade the emperor not to favor one person too much, and to let all the concubines in the harem receive the emperor's favor. However, Yihuan's deep affection for the emperor has long been deep in her bones. She feels extremely satisfied that the emperor can come to visit her often. How can she bear to share her beloved with others? Faced with Lu Muping's request, Yihuan politely refused and said that she just wanted to accompany the emperor wholeheartedly.

However, behind the scenes, Zhen Huan secretly observed that Yehenara was so favored, and she couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She understood that although the emperor knew that Yehenara was his, as long as the emperor favored Yehenara, she would still have a certain say around the emperor. After all, Zhen Huan still had a little daughter who had not yet been married. The reason why she sent Yehenara and Lu into the palace to serve the emperor was that she hoped that the emperor would arrange a happy marriage for her daughter in the future.

However, when Zhen Huan summoned Yehenara to her Xining Palace for questioning, she was surprised to find that Yehenara was just a flashy person with nothing in her power.

Zhen Huan's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "What did you say? I asked you to mention my wife Hengti's marriage to the emperor, and you were unwilling to do it?"

When Yihuan was talking to Zhen Huan, her voice was soft and gentle, which was pleasant to the ear, but Zhen Huan now wanted to give Yihuan a hundred lashes after hearing it. If the chess piece thrown out is useless, what kind of chess piece is it?

Zhen Huan was almost amused by Yi Huan's cold appearance. Even Fujia, who was standing by, was speechless as he looked at Yi Huan, whom he had spent a lot of effort to personally train.

"Okay, that's really good. You are worthy of being the emperor's favorite concubine now, but don't forget, if it weren't for me, would you have the opportunity to serve the emperor now? I just want you to say a few words to the emperor about his sister not being engaged yet, so what? Well, since you don't want to, I have nothing to say, just regard all my previous plans as in vain. Go away, Fujia, send you away!"

Yihuan muttered a few times, a trace of confusion flashed across her face, but thinking about the deep love between her and the emperor these days, as well as the promises she made to the emperor, she would definitely take the emperor's feelings seriously in the future and would not force the emperor to do anything he did not like to do.

Thinking about the little things she and the emperor had experienced, Yihuan's originally somewhat tangled face suddenly became firm, as if she had made an important decision. She stood up slowly, her movements were gentle and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

"Please forgive me, Queen Mother. I am leaving now."

Seeing Yi Huan become a noble lady, Zhen Huan angrily slammed the Buddhist beads in her hand heavily on the table, and said with a look of regret,

"I originally thought she was smart, but I didn't expect she would value her relationship with the emperor so much. The emperor knew that I sent her, so how could he trust her with his true heart? It's really a waste of her beauty."

"Don't be angry, Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has been in charge of the palace for so many years, and she is not the only one who can be used in the palace. When she understands the Queen Mother's painstaking efforts in the future, she will come back."

Zhen Huan snorted coldly and threw the Buddhist beads in her hand to the ground. The beads immediately scattered, as if venting her dissatisfaction and anger.

She widened her eyes and gritted her teeth as she spoke:

"Come back? Does she think my Xining Palace is a place where people can come and go as they please? Can she come back whenever she wants? That's simply wishful thinking! Well, since she loves the emperor so deeply, I will let her have a good taste of being ruthlessly abandoned by the emperor!"

At this point, Zhen Huan's lips slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. She paused, then asked, "I heard that the pregnancy-maintaining medicine she took was specially prepared by Qi Ru at the request of the Emperor?"

Fujia at the side quickly replied: "To answer the Empress Dowager, it is true. The Emperor said that Concubine Shu has a special status and needs special care. This favor is unique in the harem."

Zhen Huan had a sneer on her lips, but she didn't speak. She knew very well that in this imperial family, there was no unique favor. Thinking back to the time when she first entered the palace, wasn't Concubine Hua also so glorious? However, behind the so-called "favor", how many unknown truths are there? What is the real ingredient of the bowl of something called "pregnancy medicine"? I'm afraid only the emperor knows.

Now, looking at the emperor in front of her, Zhen Huan couldn't help but sigh that the son she raised actually inherited the true teachings of the late emperor. His methods, schemes, and even his ruthlessness and indifference were exactly the same as those of the late emperor.

"Forget it. This is unreliable. Fujia, go tell Bai Ruiji to find a way to persuade the emperor. If she succeeds, she will benefit from it in the future."

"Yes, don't worry, Queen Mother. Lady Bai is a sensible person and will not let you down."

"Hmph, that's best."

……

With a nervous mood, Yihuan trotted all the way from Xining Palace back to Chuxiu Palace where she lived. It was not until she stepped into the familiar room that her body slowly relaxed, as if her hanging heart had finally found a place to rest.

Thinking back to what had just happened, Yi Huan still felt a little bit unbelievable. She actually did it! This was of great significance to her, as it meant that she had overcome an important psychological barrier, and she would be able to get along with the emperor without any guard in the future.

At this moment, Yihuan sat by the window, quietly gazing at the scenery outside. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, creating patches of light and shadow. The breeze gently blew through the branches, making a rustling sound. These scenes, which were ordinary on weekdays, made Yihuan feel extremely peaceful and at ease at this moment.

She took a deep breath, feeling the freshness in the air, trying to calm her excitement.

When I was expressing my feelings to the emperor, my heart was already filled with ripples, as if countless butterflies were dancing. At that moment, I deeply felt the emperor's sincere emotions and understood my deep love for him. This love was as hot as a burning flame, and it was irresistible.

Now, although she has offended the Empress Dowager, as long as the Emperor is willing to believe in her, all her efforts will become insignificant. Yi Huan knows very well how difficult it is to gain the Emperor's trust and support in this deep palace. For the Emperor, she is willing to put aside all her worries and bravely face any challenge.

Even if she may be criticized and condemned by others, Yihuan has no regrets. As long as she can stay by the emperor's side and protect that precious relationship, no matter how many storms she goes through, it is worth it.

Since Yihuan and Lu Muping entered the palace, Ruyi has been deliberately guiding the concubines in various palaces to establish good relationships with them. Lu Muping really lived up to expectations and successfully integrated into the harem concubines not long after. However, in comparison, Yihuan seemed to have difficulty integrating into the group.

Gao Xiyue originally liked Yihuan's face, but Yihuan had a dull personality. After Gao Xiyue's attempts to get close to her were rejected several times, she completely lost interest in further interacting with Yihuan.

"Sister Queen, I originally thought that Concubine Shu was beautiful and that we would be good friends if we could get along well in the future. But Concubine Shu talks about the emperor all the time, which makes me feel dizzy. Alas, Concubine Shu is so affectionate to the emperor, if she loses his favor in the future, it will be hard to say."

Gao Xiyue's eyebrows were still a little irritable, and it seemed that Yihuan had really irritated her. Hailan beside her nodded very seriously, and followed Gao Xiyue and said,

"Yes, sister. Concubine Shu seems a little too naive. Even the pregnancy-maintaining medicine was made for her by the Emperor in the Imperial Hospital. But Concubine Shu's surname is Yehenara. It is said that there was a rumor that the Qing Dynasty would be destroyed by a woman of the Yehenara clan. The Emperor is most taboo about these things, so he must not care."

Ruyi had been with the emperor for many years in her previous life, so she naturally understood the meaning of the emperor's actions.

Although the emperor was afraid of the rumors behind Yihuan's Yehenara clan, he couldn't bear to part with Yihuan's beautiful face, so the emperor would naturally dote on Yihuan. However, the emperor would never allow Yihuan to give birth to the child.

Yihuan's current appearance is exactly the same as her appearance in her previous life. She always thinks that the emperor is the person she trusts most in the world, but in the end, it is often the person she trusts most who hurts her the most.

It’s just that Yihuan is so unsociable now. Even when Ruyi took the initiative to make friends with Yihuan in her life, Yihuan was indifferent to her and didn’t make any excessive efforts to win her over.

Ruyi recalled that Yihuan had once told her in her previous life that she had noticed her at first sight in the crowd because she and she looked at the emperor with the same eyes.

But now, she no longer has the same feelings for the emperor as she did in her previous life, so the way she looks at the emperor is naturally different from the way she looks at Yihuan. Perhaps Yihuan in this life just feels that she and she are not the same kind of people.

Ruyi coaxed Gao Xiyue in a soft voice, telling her not to harbor any resentment towards Shu Guiren after returning to the palace.

In order to cheer Gao Xiyue up, Ruyi also specially presented her with an exquisite pipa with excellent sound quality. Gao Xiyue took the pipa and gently plucked the strings. The pleasant notes flowed out like a spring, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Ruyi felt a little relieved. She knew Gao Xiyue had no intention of competing with Yihuan for favor, but was just being childish. Gao Xiyue wanted to put aside her noble status and take the initiative to make friends with Yihuan, but she didn't expect that this little noble would look down on her, which really made her angry.

However, Gao Xiyue's temper was like a summer thunderstorm, which came and went quickly. When she saw the high-quality pipa that Ruyi brought up, all her unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, Gao Xiyue only had the pipa in her eyes. She stroked the strings carefully, as if she could feel the infinite charm contained in it.

She thought, although Yihuan was a little ungrateful, having this beautiful pipa by her side was a kind of comfort.

"Thank you, Queen Sister. I knew that Queen Sister doted on me the most. Humph, but that Concubine Shu is so annoying. She is just prettier, but it's a pity that her appearance is so limited. I really wanted to be good friends with her."

-

On this day, the emperor came to Chuxiu Palace. According to previous habits, the emperor would go straight to Yihuan's bedroom when he arrived here, but today was different. The emperor hesitated for a moment in front of the Chuxiu Palace, then changed direction and walked towards Concubine Qing's room next door.

Yihuan had been waiting by the window early, looking forward to the emperor's arrival. When she saw the emperor's sedan chair arrive at Chuxiu Palace, her heart was filled with joy and anticipation. However, she never expected that the emperor would eventually choose to enter someone else's room. Yihuan felt a sense of loss and slowly sat back in her chair, feeling heavy-hearted.

Originally, Yihuan had many things in her heart that she wanted to confide in the emperor. Especially what happened between her and the queen mother today made her heart turbulent. She thought that the emperor would come to listen to her heartfelt words and give her comfort and support. But now, this opportunity seems to have been lost.

Yihuan began to think about the reason. She guessed that it might be because she went to Xining Palace today, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and vigilance. She realized that she needed to work harder to express her love to the emperor, so that he would understand and believe her sincerity.

From that moment on, Yihuan decided to be extra nice to the emperor and prove her feelings with actions. She hoped that through her efforts, she could dispel the emperor's doubts and let the emperor feel her sincere love.

When I saw the emperor for the first time, I knew that from now on my heart could only hold the emperor, and no one else.

The women in the harem looked at the emperor with conspiracy and calculation in their eyes, except her.
