Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 356 Defloration
Qionggui of Qinfang Palace was pregnant with a dragon fetus. Once the news spread, the palace exploded.

For a time, Yingying's limelight was stronger than ever.The people in the palace also began to wait and see to see if Yingying could give birth to the child smoothly.After all, only when the child is really born can the mother be as valuable as the child.

"Master, the Concubine De is here." The maid Xiaofang had been arranged outside the palace, and would notify Yingying whenever anyone came.

Yingying nodded and signaled the maid to back down.She reached out to pick up the cup of tea on the table, and after taking a sip, she slowly said, "Is it finally here?"

"Miss already expected that she will come?" Huanxi, who was waiting beside her, quickly took Yingying's tea bowl.

Yingying smiled wryly and remained silent.Concubine De never took her seriously, and because of this, she never concealed her ambition in front of her.Especially now, Concubine De thought she had caught her and the crown prince, so how could she let her go so easily.

"I've seen Empress Defei!"

Concubine De was wearing a colorful embroidered red palace dress with a half-gold embroidered cloak around her waist, looking very gorgeous.Wherever they passed by, the maids saluted one after another, and they couldn't look directly.

"The concubine has seen the concubine de concubine." Yingying had already stood up from her chair, bowing gracefully to the concubine de.

Although she was pregnant, she still couldn't hide her peerless demeanor.

The women who serve the emperor, even the maids of court, all have the looks of thousands of choices.But Yingying was only wearing a long plain dress, and she outshone the people in the room.

The concubine de concubine stared at Yingying for a moment, and the complicated look disappeared in an instant.She helped Yingying up with a smile, and put on a friendly look: "You are pregnant with a dragon fetus now, so please don't casually salute anyone."

"Thank you for your empress. But your empress is always your empress, and etiquette cannot be broken." Of course Yingying would not believe Concubine De's nonsense.She knew that Concubine De was just talking about it.If it is really impolite, it is estimated that she is the one who is unlucky.

"Okay, you are also a person who came out of this palace, would I be sympathetic?" Empress Defei laughed.

Seeing that Concubine De was likely to stay and talk, Yingying hurriedly greeted her, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

Empress Defei took the opportunity to sit down, then took Yingying's hand, and smiled deeply: "Ying... Yingxue, sit down too, let's have a good chat."

"Okay."

Of course Yingying understood what Empress Concubine De meant, she quickly waved her hand and told everyone in the room to retreat.

Concubine De was very satisfied with Yingying's obedience, and after seeing that everyone had left, she began to say: "Yingxue, there is no one here now, so let's open the skylight and speak brightly, how about?"

"Young lady, just say it."

Yingying is not afraid of Concubine De, on the contrary, she understands Concubine De's thoughts.

Concubine De suddenly stood up and walked in front of Yingying.She stroked Yingying's belly, and began to smile strangely again: "Yingxue, I know you are the woman of His Highness the Crown Prince, and the child, naturally belongs to His Highness the Crown Prince."

After Yingying heard this, her calm face suddenly changed.

She knelt in front of Concubine De, her voice choked with sobs: "Your Majesty is smart, so naturally you can't hide it from your Majesty. It's just Yingying, I hope your Majesty can keep this a secret. When His Highness the Crown Prince gains power, naturally he will not forget your Majesty!"

"Really?" Concubine De smiled half a smile.Now she no longer wants to bet all her bets on the prince.

Yingying nodded hurriedly, tears streaming down her cheeks: "Yes, Yingying and the prince will thank you for your kindness!"

Concubine De looked at Yingying's pear blossoms in the rain, and couldn't help stretching out her hand, her long nails slowly slid across the other's face: "Don't cry. If His Royal Highness sees you like this, I thought I was bullying you."

Yingying stopped crying: "Your Majesty agreed?"

"My palace is always biased towards the crown prince. But, as you know, the emperor's decision is not something that a little concubine like me can decide. I want to help you, but I can't do anything." Concubine De sighed.

"As long as the empress doesn't tell, Yingying will be very grateful."

Concubine De glanced at Yingying contemptuously, she was a woman who had never seen the world, she had a beautiful face but no brains.

"I promise you. But."

Yingying looked at Concubine De: "But?"

"You know, Concubine Cui has the highest status in the palace. Even if this palace wants to protect you, it may not have the strength." Defei paused, and continued, "But this was before, and it's different now."

"Also ask your mother to make it clear."

"You are the emperor's favorite woman now. As long as you are willing to join forces with me, are you afraid that you will not be able to deal with that Concubine Cui? Yingying, you have to believe in yourself, you have that ability." Yingying poured ecstasy soup.

Yingying showed a frightened look: "Madam, Cui Guifei is not something that a little noble like me can shake."

"I couldn't shake it at first, but now that you are pregnant with a dragon fetus, who would dare to do anything to you? Even Concubine Cui would not dare to deal with you casually." Concubine De couldn't help but roll her eyes.I have never seen such a stupid woman. It is amazing that such a brain can still be favored by the emperor and prince.

"My lady is right."

Concubine De continued to confuse: "One day, if I can also sit in that position, then it's okay for you to want to return to His Highness the Crown Prince's side."

"Is there anything you can do, Madam?" Yingying became excited again.

The disgust in Concubine De's eyes flashed: "Get up and talk first."

Yingying stood up quickly, but almost fell down because she couldn't stand firmly.Fortunately, Concubine De was standing beside her, just in time to support her.

Yingying was not frightened, but instead frightened Concubine De into a cold sweat.If Yingying's child is gone, all her tricks will be in vain.

"As long as I become the most powerful woman in this palace, it will not be difficult to send you out of the palace."

Concubine De's calculations are very shrewd. After she replaces Concubine Cui, she can definitely help Yingying escape.At that time, she was able to take advantage of the situation to raise Yingying's child, which meant she had caught the crown prince again.On the other hand, after Yingying left, no one competed with her for the emperor's favor.

"As long as I can return to the side of His Highness the Crown Prince, I can do whatever you want Yingying to do." Yingying's eyes began to become firm, as if she regarded Concubine De as the last straw.

"Very good. Yingying, you have to remember that everything is subject to my orders, do you understand?"

Yingying nodded: "Yes, Yingying understands."

"The weather is good today. I heard that the peach blossoms in the Royal Garden are very beautiful. Why don't Mrs. Qiong and Bengong go to see it together?" Concubine De changed the subject and returned to the beginning.

How could Yingying dare not agree, she hurriedly said: "What the lady said is that the concubine also feels bored after staying in the house for a long time. It would be great to go out with the lady."

Concubine De looked at Yingying's reaction with satisfaction, and thought that although she was not smart enough, she was at least obedient.Sometimes, people who have no idea are better at controlling.

Outside the hall, the four court ladies who followed Concubine De to Qinfang Palace followed behind them one after another.And Yingying's side was always supported by Huanxi.A group of people started to walk towards the imperial garden.

Along the way, Concubine De and Yingying chatted, and the atmosphere seemed incomparably harmonious.

The imperial garden is very big, and the two of them wandered until the depths of the peach blossoms before they saw the person they wanted to see.Concubine Cui Gui was wearing a long lavender palace dress, standing under the peach tree, looking very elegant.

Concubine De stared at Concubine Cui Gui's back, deliberately made some noises, and talked to Yingying with a smile.And Yingying also answered loudly with great admiration.

As long as Concubine Cui Gui is not deaf, she can hear these movements.She came to the Peach Blossom Forest by herself today, without a maid by her side, just giving Concubine De an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"I've met Sister Cui Guifei." Concubine De quickly saluted Concubine Cui, and she got up before she could react.

Concubine Cui looked at the Concubine De standing in front of her and the strange woman in palace attire next to her, and after a little thought, she guessed that this person was Qiong Guiren, who was being favored by Long now.

"Oh, my concubine is pregnant with a dragon womb, and I'm afraid that the womb will move, so I really can't say hello to my mother." Yingying spoke eccentrically, and looked at Concubine Cui with exaggerated contempt.

But Concubine Cui didn't respond, she just smiled and said, "Excuse me."

"It's rare that Concubine De's younger sister is so interested that she came to enjoy the flowers today." Concubine Cui looked at Concubine De and thought to herself that the other party came so coincidentally, she must have malicious intentions.It's just that the contest between her and Concubine De is no longer a day or two, and she has already gotten used to it.

Concubine De didn't pay attention to Concubine Cui, she just dragged Yingying to a special peach tree, and asked, "Yingying, when you look at a peach tree, what's the difference between it and an ordinary peach tree?"

"The flowers of this peach tree turned out to be golden stamens!" Yingying had never seen such a beautiful peach blossom before, showing a surprised expression.

Concubine De started to laugh again: "If such flowers are picked back and kept in a vase, wouldn't they be beautiful?"

"That's natural." Yingying also looked intoxicated, "Madam, if this concubine wants to pick this flower back, you won't snatch it from this concubine, right?"

Concubine De glanced at Concubine Cui, then at Yingying, with a smile that was not a smile: "Of course I won't fight with you, it's just others, I'm afraid they don't know."

Concubine Cui Gui likes peach blossoms, this is something that everyone in the palace knows.And this unique peach blossom tree was planted together with the emperor when Concubine Cui Gui was favored.Peach blossoms bloom every year, but the women around the emperor change one crop after another.

"Come here, pick all the flowers for me."

Yingying and Concubine De were chatting and laughing: "Your Majesty, this peach blossom can not only be used for bathing, but it can also be made into scented tea when it is dried, and it is also very good to drink."

"That's right, I haven't drunk this palace before!" Concubine De noticed with sharp eyes that Concubine Cui's face had started to stiffen.She even clenched her fists tightly and then lowered them again.

Concubine Cui walked up to Yingying, her eyes were calm and scary: "If Mr. Qiong likes these peach blossoms, feel free to pick them all. If not enough, the emperor will plant some more for you."

"Thank you, Empress Concubine. These are enough, and the other flowers don't look as beautiful as this tree. What do you think, Empress?" Yingying looked at Concubine Cui innocently with a smile on her face.
