Yixiu's Rebirth: Sending Bai Lianhua's Sister to Become a Concubine

Chapter 106 This year's Luozidai is still in high demand

"The tonic should be selected from unused ones. Before sending it, you should bring the court doctor with you. After checking everything in front of Wujina, give it to her."

Yixiu should be cautious. Now that the goal has been achieved, other places should be more cautious and prudent so as not to give others an opportunity to take advantage of.

Jianqiu wrote them down one by one and took people to do it.

--------

In fact, the backyards of the various aristocratic families in the capital are just places where the lower-ranking people want to get ahead, and the people in power want to keep their seats secure and be on guard against being assassinated at all times.

No one has it easier than anyone else.

The imperial palace in the Forbidden City is the most complicated backyard in the world. Behind every woman in the palace lies the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the entire family.

Therefore, here, all arrogance, jealousy, resentment and complacency will be magnified to the extreme.

Even the smallest ditches in the capital are filled with uneasy undercurrents.

As time goes by, the new year is quietly approaching.

At the end of the year, the palace and the government began to give out lavish rewards as usual.

In Yonghe Palace, Concubine De looked at the things Zhuxi had just brought back and asked, "Why is there no Luozidai? What will I use to draw my eyebrows at the New Year's Palace Banquet?"

Zhu Xi said, "I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask, and they said that this year's tribute of conch dai is only three hu. The maid of Miss Huiyi just went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and said that three hu was not enough for their lady, and they took all of it."

After hearing this, Concubine De didn't say anything, but her back teeth were clenched tightly.

It would be fine if Huiyi was arrogant on weekdays because of her mother's family, but she was so ignorant of her own limits at the critical moment.

Do you really think that her mother clan, who are still herding sheep, are so great?

Just a group of displaced people!

Concubine De loved to use Luozidai, not only because it was expensive, but also because that person once said that she looked very beautiful when she used Luozidai to draw her eyebrows, just like a gentle girl from the south of the Yangtze River.

A city wall separated the two of them, and they had few opportunities to meet.

The palace banquet was a rare opportunity, so she naturally hoped that she could meet him in her best condition, or in the condition that was most liked by that person.

Zhuxi has been following Concubine De since he was a child, so he naturally knows what his master is thinking.

Zhuxi said, "I know that your Majesty likes to use Luozidai to draw eyebrows the most. I asked the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs privately, and they said that Empress Zhuang sent someone to get it earlier. They have sent someone to ask Empress Zhuang, who is on good terms with your Majesty, if she has Luozidai that she can borrow. After all, it will be used for the palace banquet."

Defei felt relieved and began to calculate the time by looking at the sun.

Half an hour later, Zhuxi came to report that Concubine Zhuang's maid happened to meet Noble Lady Huiyi on her way back home. Seeing the Luozidai in the maid's hand, she stopped her and took the thing away.

When Zhuxi reported the matter to Concubine De, she almost thought she had heard it wrong. She asked Zhuxi three times before confirming that it was indeed Huiyi who stole the things from Concubine Zhuang.

"Well, if you don't have spiral ink, then just use stone ink. It's the same."

Defei was depressed.

Although she is now a concubine, she is still not very favored in the palace.

The people around the emperor were like a revolving door. Huiyi was young and energetic. Apart from her mother's family, she was ultimately relying on the emperor's favor.

As for her, the person she loves is not in front of her, and the person in front of her treats her as air.

Concubine De planned to go for a walk outside to relax her mind, so that the anger would not remain in her heart and affect her sleep at night.

When a person is unlucky, he will encounter dirty things when he goes out.

As soon as Defei came out of Yonghe Palace, she ran into Huiyi who was about to return to the palace.

The corridor was not very wide, so when two people were walking on a sedan chair, one of them had to give way.

"Oh, isn't this the Empress Defei?" Huiyi said with a smile, "The Emperor will be going to my palace in a while, Empress, do you mind letting me go first?"

Huiyi stroked her temples with her hand, smiling sweetly, but her eyes were filled with complacency and disdain.

So what if she gave birth to two sons? She is still old and ugly. His Majesty the Emperor might have forgotten that there is a Ulanara in the palace.

"Our queen is a concubine, and you are a concubine. According to the rules, you should be the one to pay respect to our queen."

Zhuxi spoke before Concubine De, and through her, a servant girl, talking to Huiyi, it seemed that Concubine De looked down on her as a mere concubine, so as not to lower her status.

"Who are you?" Huiyi scolded, "You are just a slave, and you dare to talk to me about rules?"

Huiyi ordered, "Hurry up! No matter who she is, she won't dare to keep the emperor waiting. If you are slow, I will peel off your skin and see how brave you are!"

These words are all meant to mock Concubine De.

"I didn't know that there are people who break the palace rules in the name of the Emperor." A voice came from deep in the corridor, and it was the Fourteenth Prince who came out.

He was indeed going to pay his respects to Concubine De.

However, just as he was walking over from the Shangshufang, he heard the conversation between Huiyi and Defei.

"Your son pays respects to my mother." He kowtowed to Concubine De politely, then leaned over to Huiyi and said, "I think this is Empress Hui whom the emperor brought from the border. I heard the conversation between Empress Hui and my mother just now."

"My mother's position is much higher than Empress Hui's. She is older than you and has a son who has grown up. I saw clearly from behind that when Empress Hui saw my mother, she did not greet her from beginning to end. I guess you are from outside the Great Wall and are not familiar with the etiquette of the palace."

The Fourteenth Prince turned around and called out, "Aunt Zhuxi, please demonstrate so that Madam Hui can learn from you."

Zhuxi was delighted, thinking that the young master was good at talking and had the status of a prince, which made him much more respectable.

However, Concubine De felt something was not right.

But since her own son wanted to vent his anger on her, she couldn't let him down. As for what happened next, she believed that she would always be able to find a way to solve it.

After all, she has an adult son who has been conferred the title of Beile, so she always has someone to back her up.

Therefore, when Zhuxi stood up, Concubine De finally spoke: "Sister, please bow to me as I did just now."

-------

Huiyi performed the ritual reluctantly, but she did it in the end.

As a result, when Kangxi came in the evening, she started sobbing. Sometimes she said that Zhuxi, who was beside Concubine De, was taking advantage of her power and insulting her with words. Sometimes she said that she just didn't see Concubine De. Then the Fourteenth Prince mocked her for not knowing the rules and asked her, as an elder, to teach him the etiquette.

Emperor Kangxi was in high spirits with Huiyi.

After listening to this and that, Kangxi came to a conclusion: "Oh, it was that girl called Zhuxi who didn't respect you, right? Then I will punish her to stay in the Ministry of Punishment for two days to let you vent your anger!"

Huiyi: No, there’s also your son!
