Chapter 40 Precognitive Dream
Speaking of this predictive dream, Niuhulu had it for many years, but she didn't realize it at the beginning.

In fact, she could no longer remember many things in the dream. She only remembered that she seemed to be very old, living a pampered life, and the people around her seemed to call her the Queen Mother.

Niuhulu felt that all the other trivial matters were very vague, only the four words "Empress Dowager" were like a revelation that made her remember them deeply, and she thought about them day and night from then on.

Maybe it was because she dreamed about things during the day, but the Queen Mother's beautiful dreams became more frequent, and she became younger and younger in her dreams. She went from being the Queen Mother to a concubine, and then to a princess.

Just then, an imperial decree came from the palace, and she was assigned to the Fourth Prince.

This is right!

Niuhulu was overjoyed and she couldn't help telling her father. Ling Zhu was a man of modest ability but quite good at scheming. He was skeptical about the news and was skeptical about his daughter's dream.

But his daughter told him about an important event in a dream, which ignited a fire in his heart. If the Fourth Prince could ascend the throne and his grandson could become the emperor in the future, then their branch would also be able to hold their heads high!
With the mentality of preferring to believe it than not, the father and daughter formed a united front and said that the first thing to do now is to win the heart of the Fourth Prince and give birth to a son as soon as possible.

Ling Zhu spent a lot of money to inquire about the situation in the Fourth Prince's backyard.

Now that the wife is pregnant, she still has time to take care of the eldest prince. One of the princesses has been completely abandoned, and the other three are not favored. This start is very favorable to Niuhulu. If all goes well, she will be the next favorite concubine in the Fourth Prince's mansion.

This idea reached its peak at the welcoming banquet.

Because Nianhulu saw Yinzhen with her own eyes. At this time, the Fourth Prince had the heroic spirit of a young man, the calmness of a person who had been in power for many years, and a little bit of decadence after the recent setbacks.

A man with such temperament, who is also a little handsome, is very attractive to young girls who are not very worldly-wise.

Niuhulu vowed to become the sweetheart in Yinzhen's palm and smooth out the wrinkles between his brows.

But after just a few days she was devastated.

Yinzhen did go to her room on the first day, but perhaps because he was too worried about Honghui, he did not have sex with her. After staying overnight as usual, he either stayed in the main courtyard or the front courtyard, not giving her any chance to get close to him.

Even so, Niuhulu was not discouraged.

Isn't it just a fight for favor? You've never eaten pork, but you've never seen a pig run. Although her father was poor, he still kept several concubines and maids. She learned a lot of the tricks of those foxy women from her father.

As a result, the versatile Niuhulu became the focus of attention in the backyard.

"What did our Princess Niuhulu do today?" It was quite interesting for Yihuan to listen to the daily hot searches.

"Madam, I heard that she changed into a new costume and is now waiting at the second gate, wanting to sing for the master." Yu Xiao said.

Yihuan frowned when she heard this: "As long as she doesn't do anything out of line in the backyard, she can do whatever she wants. But this lascivious music cannot be heard outside the second gate. Let her go back to her own yard and sing whatever she wants."

It is inevitable that concubines in the backyard will compete for favor. What Yihuan needs to do is not to put an end to such things, but to control these small-scale struggles in her own hands.

Yu Xiao was a little worried: "Fujin, this Nianhulu princess is very persistent. It's been so many days, and she can still come up with new tricks. Aren't you afraid that the master will really be seduced by her?"

Yihuan smiled bitterly and stroked her belly: "It's not a given that Master treats me well. If one day Master only treats me with respect, that's normal. Don't forget what I said to you at the beginning."

"I know I was wrong." Yu Xiao quickly admitted her mistake. She had been a little too proud recently.

******
Yinzhen was overwhelmed by Nianhulu's efforts. He was worried about Honghui recently, and he also had to take care of Yihuan's health, the emperor's thoughts in the palace, the actions of his brothers, etc. He really didn't care that much about the new princess.

But Nianhulu did have some tricks. She took advantage of Yinzhen's drunkenness, imitated Yihuan's dressing style, and kidnapped the dazed Yinzhen on the way to the main courtyard.

Although Su Peisheng felt something was wrong, he thought that Niuhulu was a legitimate princess and her master should still be sober. If he spoke at this time, he would offend both sides, so he simply kept silent.

After a night, Yinzhen felt a splitting headache and reached his climax when he saw the woman on the bed.

Niuhulu was wearing pajamas, revealing half of her shoulder with some marks on it, and she wanted to help Yinzhen put on his clothes with a shy look on her face.

Before her hand touched Yinzhen, it was pushed away.

"who are you?"

"Su Peisheng!"

When Su Peisheng heard the master's voice inside, he felt something was wrong and ran in immediately. When he looked up and saw a woman on the bed, he immediately lowered his head.

"What's going on? Where did this ignorant maid come from?!"

Su Peisheng knelt down with a plop, his eyes on her nose and his nose on her heart: "My lord, this is Princess Niuhulu."

Yinzhen was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he looked up at the woman, and realized that he had seen her before. However, the difference between her natural look and her makeup was a little too big, and it was hard to recognize her without careful observation.

"Why are you kneeling? Come and help me get dressed." Yinzhen slowly remembered what happened last night. After getting dressed and washing up, he left without even having breakfast.

Before leaving, she said, "You are not allowed to wear the clothes you wore last night again. As a concubine, you must know the rules and regulations. You must recite the female rules and regulations three times a day. Don't bring shame to the Niuhulu family!"

Niuhulu stared at Yinzhen's back, her cheeks almost bitten. She didn't expect that this man would become a different person after putting on his clothes.

Yinzhen walked quickly out of Nianhulu's courtyard and was about to go to the main courtyard. After taking a few steps, he felt a little guilty. Going to have breakfast at this time would make his wife unhappy.

"Prepare water for a bath." Yinzhen felt that he was full of the scent of Nianhulu, which he inexplicably disliked, and subconsciously wanted to wash it off.

Su Peisheng quickly responded.

"You, go get ten boards yourself."

Su Peisheng agreed with a bitter face. The last time Master Honghui got into trouble, he was beaten with thirty boards and didn't get out of bed for half a month. Fortunately, the master didn't despise him and kept him to serve.

It's just that the butt is in trouble again.

Yihuan had no special reaction when she learned that Yinzhen went to Nianhulu's place. It is said that a thief can steal for a thousand days but one cannot guard against thieves for a thousand days. As long as she works hard, she can grind an iron rod into a needle. Nianhulu will succeed sooner or later.

"The imperial physician said that Honghui can walk now, but he should not run too much. You should keep an eye on him. Don't leave Honghui alone, and don't let him read for too long."

Ah Bao suddenly ran in and said, "Madam, there is an imperial decree from the palace. From next month onwards, all the legitimate princes who are old enough will go to the upper study room to study. If there are no legitimate princes, the eldest sons of concubines will go in, and so on."

"The imperial decree says that our Prince Honghui is allowed to go after he recovers."
