Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

After Yongsheng's wedding, he can legitimately participate in state affairs.

With Concubine Yao whispering in the harem, and Yongsheng himself having some talent, being sweet-mouthed, and being filial to the emperor in everything, the emperor now treats Yongsheng even closer.

Not long after, the emperor actually issued an edict to confer the title of Prince Lu on Yongsheng.

You know, the last person who was favored by the emperor and was conferred the title of prince was Prince Zhong Yongji, who bravely rescued the emperor at the risk of his life in Mulan Paddock.

The court officials were in an uproar, and most of them believed that Yongsheng was unworthy of the position. They advised the emperor that if he really valued Yongsheng, he should just confer the title of Duolo Prince on him for the time being.

When Yongsheng has made great military achievements in the future, it will be more legitimate to confer the title of prince on him.

Prince is the highest rank among royal titles, second only to the emperor.

The appointment of a prince is not only a family affair of the emperor, but also involves the government affairs, and must be handled with extreme caution.

Yongsheng saw the opposition from his ministers, and he knew that his status was not as high as that of his legitimate son Yongqi, and he had no outstanding achievements, so it would be difficult for him to keep the position of prince by force.

He simply took the initiative to resign from the emperor in order to create a reputation for himself as a person who is not greedy for power and is not surprised by praise or criticism.

Yongsheng spoke earnestly, saying that he did not seek the title of prince, but was only willing to be a beile and concentrate on serving the emperor.

The emperor has become more and more susceptible to persuasion, and he was deeply pleased to see Yongsheng acting like this.

The emperor is now very satisfied with Yongsheng. He thinks that this son seemed quiet before, but now, perhaps because he has married and has a family, he has become more mature and steady in his words and deeds.

In this way, under the persuasion of his ministers, the emperor finally conferred the title of Prince Shun on Yongsheng.

After being named a prince, Yongsheng became very pleased with himself and gradually became more confident in his private actions.

That night, Concubine Yao had just finished bathing and was wearing her pajamas in Jingyang Palace, letting Caien gently wipe her hair.

Suddenly, she felt a stronger force on her head. She opened her eyes in confusion and happened to meet Yongsheng's smiling eyes in the glass mirror.

"Why are you here now? You have just been conferred the title of a prince, so you'd better be careful in what you do."

"Yao'er, are you worried about me?"

Yongsheng didn't pay any attention to Yaopin's persuasion. He lowered his head and laid on her soft neck, greedily breathing in the fragrance of her hair.

"I missed you, so I came here naturally."

Yaopin scolded, "You already have a legitimate wife in your house, what else do you want from me? You sneak into Jingyang Palace so frequently, aren't you afraid that our affairs will be discovered by others?"

Yongcheng said confidently, "I know how to do things, Yao'er, don't worry.

I came here today specifically to tell you a piece of news that might be useful to you."

Concubine Yao looked up with interest and heard Yongsheng talking about Concubine Chun from Jiangnan.

"Imperial Concubine Chun is dying. What does it have to do with me? I have nothing to do with her."

Yongcheng laughed softly twice, his eyes dark as night, "If she dies, won't there be a vacant position for a noble concubine in the harem?

You have been a concubine for so long, don't you want to climb up a level?"

Yaopin's eyes indeed lit up, but in a moment, they dimmed like a shooting star.

"Who wouldn't want to be a concubine? But everyone knows that Concubine Hui has a long career and has been respected by the emperor for many years, so she is the first among the concubines.

Now there are four complete concubines in the palace: Huifei, Shufei, Yingfei and Lingfei.

Even if the position of Imperial Concubine really becomes vacant, it will probably be in Concubine Hui's pocket. How could it be my turn?

As for me, I just hope to climb to the position of a concubine in the future, and guard my Yongxuan, and I will be satisfied. "

Facing Concubine Yao's sigh, Yongsheng curled his lips in disdain.

"That sick Concubine Hui has only survived these many years by relying on medicine.

If you want her to give up her position, isn't it just a matter of giving her a bowl of medicine?

It all depends on whether you are ruthless enough to do it. "

Seeing that Concubine Yao was still hesitant, Yongcheng whispered in a low voice, "Let's work hard together. When the time comes, I will become a prince and you will become a concubine. Are you still afraid that there will be no chance to overthrow the one sitting on the throne?

After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards Concubine Yao's chest and said, "In less than half an hour, I will have to leave the palace. Yao'er, you must think carefully..."

As dusk fell, Yongsheng, who was drunk, just returned to Shunjun Prince's Mansion. He saw a thin woman in plain clothes and a light skirt, leaning against the corridor.

It was Niuhulu who had been waiting for him for a long time.

Niuhulu stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Did the prince go drinking again today?

You have been feasting like this for half a month straight, so you should take care of yourself. I will cook for you..."

Before Niuhulu could finish her words, Yongcheng raised his hand and interrupted her impatiently.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm happy, so I'll drink a few more cups. It's both a social event and a way to make new connections.

You are a woman who knows nothing, so please don't say anything that will spoil the fun."

Being insulted by Yongcheng in front of the servants, Niuhulu was indignant for a moment and said stubbornly, "Is the prince really just here for a social occasion?

Why do I smell the Prince's clothes today, and they seem to be stained with the fragrance of powder?"

Yongcheng was choked with silence. He didn't expect that although Niuhulu looked sickly, her nose was extremely sharp.

No one knew what kind of perfume powder Concubine Yao used. He drank so much wine to cover it up, but even at such a distance, he was still noticed by Nianhulu.

But it was impossible for Yongsheng to tell the truth to Nianhulu.

He seemed drunk and was not quite sober when he was angry, "There are girls serving tea and water in every restaurant. Maybe their smell got on my clothes.

I'm happy today and drank a few more cups. I smell bad, so I won't go to your room. You can go to bed early. You don't have to wait for me next time."

After saying that, Yongcheng turned around and tried to leave. But after taking two steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped and turned around.

Niuhulu's originally resentful and sad expression quickly stopped, and was replaced by a faint and peaceful smile.

"Does the prince have anything else to tell me?"

Yong Cheng pursed his lips and said, "I asked the imperial physician Xi in the palace to improve your prescription and add some precious herbs. Remember to take it according to the prescription later."

After that, he added hastily, "You are weak. The last time the imperial physician examined your pulse, he said that it would be difficult for you to get pregnant. You must take good care of yourself.

However, my fourth and fifth brothers, who got married before me, still have no children.

Don't be anxious, just take your time to raise him. My eldest son must come from your knees."

Niuhulu blushed, bowed meekly and gratefully, and said softly, "Thank you, my Lord, for your understanding.

I...I will do my best to take care of myself and live up to the expectations of the prince."
