Consort Yi returned to her palace and sent someone to invite Consort Rong.
In Luanxi Pavilion, Bai Lingxi was reading a storybook with great boredom. Zhou Jin had gone to court, and she was very bored by herself.
"My aunt is looking for me, so I'll go and see her." Bai Lingxi said as she prepared to go, thinking about the story of Consort Yi in the original plot.
In fact, the original plot did not focus too much on Consort Yi. Instead, it portrayed her as a strong supporter of the First Prince and a sworn enemy of the Seventh Prince's mother.
We arrived at Yong'an Palace.
Bai Lingxi curtsied. Originally, Zhou Jin had decreed that she did not need to bow to anyone, but Bai Lingxi was willing to give her face: "Xi'er greets Aunt."
Consort Yi did not tell her to get up, but instead fiddled with her nails: "How can I accept such a bow from Consort Rong?"
Bai Lingxi walked to the side and sat down, smiling: "It seems that the Noble Consort Yi does not recognize me. The Bai family should be united, but who knew that the Noble Consort harbors resentment."
Consort Yi: "You're becoming more and more unruly."
Bai Lingxi: "What are rules? Can rules save the Bai family?"
Bai Lingxi stared intently at Consort Yi: "Aunt, why did the Seventh Prince want to eliminate our family? What exactly happened back then?"
Seeing that she was determined to get to the bottom of things, Consort Yi originally did not want to answer, but sighed helplessly and said, "This matter is a grudge from the previous generation. I did not want to bring it up, but since you have entered the palace and become involved in the trouble, I will tell you."
Consort Yi released Bai Lingxi's hand, turned her back and looked up at the sky, lost in her own memories: "Back then, I was the same age as you, and I was fortunate enough to be selected to enter the palace."
Consort Yi: "At that time, there were not many concubines in the palace, only two consorts, four concubines, and a few noble ladies. I won the favor with my outstanding beauty and quickly gained a foothold. The palace was calm for a while, and no one made a move."
Consort Yi: "So I quickly became pregnant. Among those who entered the palace with me, Consort Chun was the closest to me. During my pregnancy, I was extremely careful, but I was still tricked by her."
Consort Yi: "I was depressed for a while, but I forced myself to pull myself together and find out the truth. However, the Emperor only executed Consort Chun, but I could not harm the people behind her in the slightest."
Consort Yi: "I was seriously ill, and the Emperor felt some pity for me. Soon I became pregnant again, and this time I gave birth to the Second Prince. He was a tiny little bundle, and he called me 'Mother' in his chubby way. My heart melted."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingxi had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Consort Yi said, "He was so young, and a minor cold took his life. My second prince died, and her third prince came. I didn't know it was a conspiracy until the eldest prince's mother, Consort De, found me."
Consort Yi: "She said it was Consort Liang who did it. I didn't believe it at first. Everyone knows that the two of them are at odds and have a deep-seated grudge. She used me as a pawn."
Consort Yi: "But she has evidence. I used all my power, it really is true, what could I do? So the Third Prince died at birth, and Consort Liang also died from postpartum hemorrhage. I avenged my child."
Consort Yi: "I want to stop here because I found out I'm pregnant again. I'm focusing all my energy on my child. I don't care how many beauties are selected in the imperial concubine selection or how many women the emperor has."
Consort Yi: "Finally, the time was ripe and I had another child, the fourth prince Changbai. I lived a peaceful life with the child and carefully took care of him as he grew up. He grew from a tiny little boy into a handsome young man, but everything was ruined when he was eight years old."
Bai Lingxi's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Consort Yi's retreating figure with heartache. She had heard about her little cousin's tragic death.
Consort Yi: "That vile woman, she planned everything: the little ball on the shore, the road coated with tung oil, the water plants entwined in the water. When I arrived, there was only his small, cold corpse. I hate her."
Consort Yi: "I hate this vile woman, I hate the Emperor, I hate everyone in this palace. So this vile woman took the Sixth Prince to the Yellow Springs. I'm sure they won't be lonely on their journey."
Consort Yi: "As for the Fifth Prince, it's all his fault for his foul mouth. He insulted and mocked my poor child behind his back. He should go down and apologize to my child."
Consort Yi: "No matter how clever my methods are, the Emperor still found out. This is the last time I will take action. I want to save the person he loves most."
