Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The lakeside building is nothing more than a pavilion with wind blowing in from all sides.

The wind has been chilly recently, so the palace servants have specially hung windproof decorative curtains around the pavilion.

Jin Yuyan looked from afar and saw the tall and straight figure of the prince vaguely visible through the translucent curtains.

There were some things that Jin Yuyan was not convenient to say in front of Li Xin, so she asked her to wait outside the pavilion and she twisted her waist and walked over slowly.

Through the curtain, I could see the shadows of a man and a woman slowly approaching.

"I haven't seen the Crown Prince for a long time. How have you been lately?" Jin Yuyan spoke the language of her mother's tribe with a charming manner.

Li Yin lowered his eyes and glanced at Jin Yuyan's bulging belly. "Thanks to Concubine Jia. If Concubine Jia's baby is a prince, the Yu family will definitely live a better life."

The smile on Jin Yuyan's face froze slightly, and she subconsciously gathered her cloak, not wanting Li Yin to look at her belly any more. Her voice also became much colder.

"Your Highness, do you have nothing else to say to me?"

There was a hint of doubt in Li Yin's eyes, as if he suddenly thought of something, and then he said, "Since the queen was named Jiapin, the prince personally spoke up and granted her grace.

Congratulations, Your Majesty! Lord Jin has made an exception and promoted your mother to a concubine, and has also granted her two servants.

From now on, your mother will no longer have to be bound by her lowly status and work hard as a slave."

"Really?" Jin Yuyan's eyes lit up, as dazzling as the brightest stars in the night sky.

However, this joy did not last long and was soon replaced by a hint of worry.

"Is my mother...is she okay?"

Li Yin nodded and took out a celadon inkstone dropper in the shape of a sparrow, which was less than half the size of his palm, from the brocade bag he carried with him.

"This is the inkstone dripper your mother asked me to bring you. It is carved from the finest jade-colored celadon of our Yu family. Inside is the clear spring water of the Yu family that your mother filled with her own hands."

Tears as pure and crystal clear as morning dew appeared in Jin Yuyan's beautiful eyes.

She took the inkstone with trembling hands and held it tightly in her arms, as devoutly as if she were hugging her mother.

In fact, Jin Yuyan is not a legitimate noble lady of the Yu family.

Although her biological father was the high-ranking official Lord Jin, her biological mother was just a lowly concubine from a poor family.

The Yu family followed the system of illegitimate children, and the hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate children was very strict.

If the mother is a concubine, all the children are illegitimate. Both the mother and the children are slaves of the wife and the legitimate sons.

If a concubine's daughter wanted to change her status, she could either marry a promising concubine's son or marry into the royal family.

Jin Yuyan has followed her mother since she was a child and has seen through the warmth and coldness of the world and the coldness of human hearts.

Fortunately, she was born with a beautiful appearance and was chosen to enter the palace.

Unfortunately, Jin Yuyan didn't know at that time that she entered the palace not to marry the prince, but to be a tribute girl presented to the Qing Dynasty by the Yu family.

When Jin Yuyan learned that she had been chosen as a tribute girl and would soon be sent to the Qing Dynasty, she felt like the world was falling.

She ran and cried to beg the prince to keep her. She lost her shoes and socks and her feet were covered in blood.

But even so, the prince still did not change his mind.

The prince only gave her a topaz bracelet and advised Jin Yuyan that if she married into the Qing Dynasty and was honored as a concubine, her mother would also be treated well in the Yu family.

Jin Yuyan also had the opportunity to counterattack as a concubine and live a different life like Empress Ki of the Yuan Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for caring about my mother. But the title of concubine is not enough.

I am only a concubine now. After I give birth to a son, it is only a matter of time before I am given the title of imperial concubine or noble concubine.

If the boy in my belly does well, it is not impossible for him to inherit the throne in the future.

By then, if the Crown Prince ascends the throne as the new king, can you allow my mother to be the first wife of the Jin family? "

Jin Yuyan's eyes flickered with ambition as raging as fire.

Li Yin's emotions were unconsciously touched by her, "Your Majesty will definitely fulfill your wish."

Li Xin was far away and couldn't understand Yu's language, so she could only watch with interest through the curtain as their shadows stood facing each other in the flickering candlelight.

Suddenly, a woman's impatient voice came from afar, "Sister Shu, is this the rare beauty of appreciating the lotus at night that you mentioned?

Why do I feel that the lake is dark and the candlelight is dim, and it feels eerie."

It was Concubine Xiu from Chuxiu Palace.

"Lady Xiu is used to seeing fine things, so naturally she can't appreciate such a view." Lady Shu, who was standing aside, had a calm and expressionless face as she replied indifferently.

"Since Concubine Xiu can't stand it, I'll take my leave first." After saying that, before Concubine Xiu could try to persuade her to stay, Concubine Shu turned around and left.

Shu Guiren had already completed what Concubine Xian had asked her to do, and she was not curious at all about what would happen next.

"Look at her noble appearance. Who is she pretending to be? She only has a pretty face. Otherwise, the emperor would never even look at her."

Concubine Xiu said with annoyance and displeasure.

"Don't be angry, Sister Xiu. Concubine Shu is from a noble family, beautiful, and can discuss poetry with the emperor.

Even with all her efforts, she was only able to be summoned by the Emperor a few times. Compared to her sister's past, she was not favored.

How can she be compared with her sister?" Lu Changzai said hastily.

Concubine Xiu became annoyed when she mentioned this.

"Everyone in the palace knows that there are only two noble ladies in Chuxiu Palace. It is obvious that the master of this palace must be chosen between me and Noble Lady Shu.

The first time Shu Guiren slept with the emperor, she displeased him. I thought she would be out of favor and fall into ruin for the rest of her life.

I had thought that if Concubine Shu was willing to be a noble lady quietly, I would let her live out her old age in Chuxiu Palace.

But who would have known that this vixen actually ran to the imperial garden, chanted a poem "Drunk in the Flower Shades" in front of some broken chrysanthemums, and then seduced the emperor again.

It seems that she is determined to fight with me."

Lu Changzai comforted her, "Sister Xiu, don't bother with her.

In my opinion, the name of Chuxiu Palace was specially prepared for you. Otherwise, how could it be called Chuxiu Palace? "

Concubine Xiu's expression eased a little, "You are the only one who has a sweet mouth.

But in the end, the Emperor still revoked my green card because of that lowly maid named Yan Wan, and I really can't get over this anger.

If I meet that bitch again next time, I will teach her a lesson!"

Soon, Li Xin discovered the figures of Xiu Guiren and Lu Changzai. She hurriedly raised her voice to remind Jin Yuyan.

"Master, it's a cold night, let's go back early."

Ke Lixin's shout just happened to attract the attention of Xiu Guiren and Lu Changzai.

Hidden behind the curtains, the two figures intertwine with each other, which is very suggestive.

Jin Yuyan was a little flustered and hurriedly asked Li Yin to leave from another direction. She then combed her hair and walked out from behind the curtain alone.

With a teasing look in her eyes that could not be ignored, Xiu Guiren looked Jin Yuyan up and down. Then she and Lu Chang came forward to greet Jin Yuyan.
