Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The two of them were not very familiar with each other in the past, but now they suddenly came together. As the concubine of lower status, Yaopin naturally had to take the initiative to bring up some topics to avoid an awkward atmosphere.

Both of them are mothers, and as they talked, they talked about the sixth princess Jingyan.

"I had the honor of meeting the Sixth Princess before. Although she is still young, she has grown into a beauty.

Not only is he graceful in his gestures, but he is also very proficient in poetry and calligraphy. I really like him when I see him."

Who doesn’t like others praising their children?

Wei Yanwan is no exception.

She smiled modestly and said, "Jingyan is only a little old. She has only learned from the teacher and read a few books. How can she be considered an expert? Yaopin is too kind."

"Empress Ling is too modest. I was hoping to give birth to a daughter as delicate and exquisite as the Sixth Princess, but I didn't expect to only have Yongxuan, a mischievous girl."

Wei Yanwan was in a good mood for a rare time, so she said a few words to comfort him.

"Yaopin, you are still young and favored by the emperor. If you want, you can have another princess sooner or later."

But Concubine Yao just smiled bitterly and shook her head, stroking her chest, revealing her scars, "Alas, my body...

I am not afraid of being laughed at by Empress Ling Fei. The imperial physician said that I injured my foundation when giving birth to Yong Xuan, and I am afraid I will not be able to have children in the future.

Because of this, I fought so hard to win your favor, in order to preserve my and Yongxuan's place in the palace.

I didn't expect that I would be misunderstood by Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Hui, who thought that I was seducing my master. I really have so much pain that I can't say it out loud."

Wei Yanwan sighed sympathetically.

"The two of them, Imperial Concubine Yu and Imperial Concubine Hui, are both old people who have served the Emperor since he was in the Qiandi Palace, just like the Empress.

The relationship between them is very close. I wanted to be friends with them before, but I was always excluded... Never mind, let's not talk about this."

Concubine Yao heard the hidden meaning in Wei Yanwan's words and thought that Wei Yanwan might have the same prejudice as herself against the small group formed by the two imperial concubines.

In this way, it would be very convenient for her to take the initiative to win him over.

Concubine Yao flicked her handkerchief and hurried forward to serve him.

After a while, the two of them felt a sense of sympathy for each other and felt that they had met too late, and began to call each other sister.

As their relationship became closer, Concubine Yao began to speak more boldly.

"Sister Ling Fei is a concubine, and I envy her. But I see that you have received a lot of favors, so why is it that you have only got one princess, Jing Yan, for so many years?"

Wei Yanwan frowned slightly, "Sister Yaopin, it is quite impolite of you to bring up the matter of offspring in this way."

The reason why she was only a princess was not something she should explain to a concubine.

Concubine Yao knew that she had said something wrong, but seeing that Wei Yanwan was just talking and not really angry, she knew that she still had room to ease the situation.

She forced herself to smile and said, "Don't take it personally, sister. I am just concerned about you.

Speaking of which, as a concubine, it would be safer for me to have a prince.

Otherwise, if something happens to the emperor in the future, we will have someone to rely on, right?"

Wei Yanwan did not respond, but the expression on her face clearly showed her agreement.

Yaopin came forward and whispered, "The most trusted imperial physician Xi by the emperor's side once served my sister during her childbirth. My sister thinks he is very good.

How about I ask him to go and show it to me?"

Although Wei Yanwan enjoyed the deliberate flattery of Concubine Yao, she was still a little vindictive.

If the Imperial Physician Xi was really a skilled doctor, how could Concubine Yao have difficulty giving birth again after giving birth to the twelfth prince at full term?

What Concubine Yao said was nothing more than wanting to secretly find out about Wei Yanwan's physical condition while trying to show her goodwill to her.

Wei Yanwan waved her hand and declined with a smile, "Don't worry about it, sister. I know my own health very well.

As for having a child, it mainly depends on God's will. I have already accepted my fate. Having Jingyan in this life is enough. I don't necessarily have to ask for a prince."

Seeing that Wei Yanwan had no ambition to have children, Concubine Yao was secretly delighted.

Without a prince, it means that if Wei Yanwan wants to live in peace in the palace for a long time, she must rely on someone who has a prince.

Otherwise, when the princess gets married and the emperor dies, how can she continue to live decently in this endless palace?

After the truth was almost revealed, Concubine Yao finally revealed her true colors.

She invited Wei Yanwan to sit in Jingyang Palace for a while, ostensibly to taste tea, but in fact she was analyzing the situation in the palace to Wei Yanwan.

No matter how much the emperor refuses to admit his old age, he has already had many white hairs on his head. Now he even seems to be unable to perform the Five Animal Exercises. I'm afraid he has been suffering from internal deficiency for a long time.

But they are still young and should always plan for the future.

Wei Yanwan only has one princess, and although Concubine Yao has a prince, he is too young. How can he compete with other princes?

If the two of them want to live without worries for the rest of their lives, they must find a way out for themselves as soon as possible.

Among the adult princes, Yongzhang and Yongqi were both outside the palace, and inevitably alienated from the emperor's heart.

Yonghuang inherited Concubine Hui's character and was rather mediocre, not particularly favored by the emperor.

In addition, there are Yongji and Yongsheng.

If we talk about the past, Yongqi would definitely be the most popular candidate for the throne.

But now the Queen and the Emperor are having a falling out, and Yongsheng is the one the Emperor values ​​the most, and is only one step away from the position of Prince.

It became unclear who would take the throne in the future.

Wei Yanwan groaned in silence, her eyes full of meaning, "So, sister, do you mean that you are more optimistic about Sixth Prince?

Don’t blame me for not reminding you, the most taboo thing for concubines in the palace is to form cliques with the princes for personal gain.

My sister is the Sixth Prince's stepmother, so you should keep some distance from her and not get too close, or the Emperor will misunderstand you."

Concubine Yao's heart tightened, but when she saw that Wei Yanwan was just talking casually and didn't seem to notice anything, she slowly relaxed and explained with a smile.

"My elder sister's advice was for my younger sister's sake, and I am deeply grateful.

However, my sister might be worrying too much. The Sixth Prince's mother is from the Yu clan, and my sister's mother's family is also from the Yu clan.

Speaking of which, my sister and the Sixth Prince are from the same origin, so they are naturally closer.

My sister has already told the emperor about these things. Even if there are rumors, the emperor will not believe them. "

"My sister is very broad-minded, and I am narrow-minded. But the Fourth Prince is legitimate, and he has a higher chance of inheriting the throne.

If my sister is determined to support the Sixth Prince, I can only wish her all the best."

Wei Yanwan was very cautious and was not easily bewitched by Concubine Yao's few words.

Concubine Yao was not anxious but laughed instead.

If Wei Yanwan was a vulgar person who was easily influenced by others, Concubine Yao would not have chosen her as an ally.

"Sister, don't rush to make a conclusion. It's true that the Fourth Prince is a legitimate son, but there are countless people who support him. Choosing him is just icing on the cake, and it won't do any good.

If the Qing Dynasty wants a princess to marry abroad in the future, do you think the Fourth Prince will do what the current emperor did and give up his sister in exchange for peace?"
