Chapter 18: Concubine De’s Past



She also asked her personal maid Zi Su to go to the small kitchen to prepare a few more sets of bowls and chopsticks. They came so early, they must not have had breakfast yet.

After the Fourth Master, the Sixth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince came in, they bowed and paid their respects to Concubine De.

"Okay, let's get up." Concubine De smiled and helped the three brothers up one by one.

"Old Four, you seem to have lost a lot of weight this time. You must not have eaten well again."

"Mother, I eat well every day. If you don't believe me, call Su Peisheng in and ask him."

The Fourth Master knew his mother well. If she knew that he didn't eat well, she would ask someone to stew some tonic for him every day.

Although he was very happy that his mother was good to him, he couldn't handle too much.

But he was still very happy in his heart. After all, his mother had been very good to him in the past few years, and he liked his current mother very much.

"That's good. You will all have dinner here with mother later, especially the fourth child. Eat more later." The fourth child was the one that Defei cared about the most.

She was originally the owner of a cosmetics company in the 1980s and 1990s.

Because they lived in a remote mountain area when they were young, a new primary school was built there.

She was only eight years old and wanted to go to school, but her father and stepmother disagreed because if she went to school, there would be less people to do the housework.

In particular, her stepmother was not willing to let her go to school, saying that it was useless for a little girl to read so many books.

She was unwilling to give up, so whenever she had free time she would lie on the school window and secretly listen to the classes.

The teacher found out but did not rush her out. Instead, after hearing about her situation, she told her that she could come and ask her if she had any questions.

She listened like this for several years, learned a lot of words, and began to yearn for the vast world outside.

When she was fourteen years old, her stepmother discussed with her father about selling it to a forty or fifty-year-old beggar from the next village.

Moreover, that man not only looks old but also drinks and beats people. His two previous wives were beaten to death by her.

So in order to avoid marrying Erlaizi, she decided to elope. Since her father and stepmother had already accepted money from other people, they would not agree to cancel the engagement no matter what.

She had no choice but to escape, she didn't want her life to be ruined by that idiot.

After she escaped, she worked as a beggar, picked up rags, and ate leftovers that others didn't want.

Later, by chance, she saved a man who happened to be in the cosmetics business. She saw a lot by following him.

Therefore, her life also changed drastically at this moment.

More than ten years later, she also founded her own cosmetics company. Because she never got married in her life, she donated all her assets after her death.

When she woke up, she traveled back in time to become the Empress Defei of the Qing Dynasty.

I was a little shocked to learn from Defei's memory that she now has several children.

She didn't know much about the history of the Qing Dynasty, so when she learned that she was now Empress Defei, she was confused and a little overwhelmed.

But now that she is here, she will learn to accept it.

I used to be very busy and didn’t have any children, but now I have both a son and a daughter.

He learned that his eldest son Yinzhen had been raised by Empress Xiaoyi Ren.

When Empress Xiaoyi Ren passed away, the fourth prince Yinzhen returned to Concubine De.

However, Concubine De's attitude towards the Fourth Prince was not good. The Fourth Prince always had a stern face, was not intimate with her, and spoke very little.

Concubine De thought that he had been raised by Empress Xiaoyi Ren in the past, and now he looked down on her as his mother.

Therefore, his attitude towards the Fourth Prince was very bad, and even the Sixth Prince and the newly born Fourteenth Prince were unwilling to let the Fourth Prince get close to them.

The Sixth Prince was fine. He was already five or six years old at that time and lived in the prince's residence, so she couldn't be too controlling.

So the Sixth Prince still gets along well with the Fourth Prince.

Later, Concubine De fell seriously ill, and that was when she traveled through time.

After inheriting the original owner's memory, he learned that Concubine De treated her own son so differently, and he was very angry. Is there any mother like this?

Moreover, when Yinzhen was just born, she voluntarily gave him to Empress Xiaoyi Ren to raise, and even changed her position to a concubine for this.

In the following years, she only occasionally looked at Yinzhen in the first two years, and after she became pregnant with the sixth prince, she never took the initiative to look at him again.

It was clearly her fault as a mother, so what right did she have to blame the child?

So after she came here, she wanted to ease the relationship between her and Yinzhen, and often asked people to send delicious food to Yinzhen.

When they were resting, she would ask the Sixth Prince to bring Yinzhen over, and slowly their relationship eased a lot.

This is the thing that makes Concubine De most gratified.

Although she had never been a mother in her previous life, she also loved children very much.

She felt that brothers should love and help each other, so she hated the behavior of the original owner, Concubine De.

The Fourth Master and his brothers had dinner with Mother at Yonghe Palace. They talked and laughed, and the family was in harmony. Even the Fourth Master, who usually had a stern face, looked much softer.

After the meal, the Fourth Master and his brothers stayed in Yonghe Palace for a while before leaving.

He still has to go to the Ministry of Revenue as there are some things waiting for him to deal with.

——

After the Fourth Master came back, except for visiting Wen Gege's place on the first night and then visiting Fu Jin and Li, he was always busy and did not enter the backyard for more than half a month.
