Rebirth of the Great Favor: Chapter 100
Chapter 100: The Aftermath Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.
Because the emperor didn’t have much affection for Handsome Fairness Chen so she wasn’t favored. This anger was nothing more than Imperial Uncle Cen touching his woman. The empress and the Cen family were pleading for mercy. Although the emperor was angry, he only punished three years of Imperial Uncle Cen’s salary. He changed his place of confinement from the warm room to the imperial uncle’s residence.
In fact, this was already considered to be particularly merciful, but one didn’t expect the empress and the crown prince to be implicated because of this matter. The empress was charged with covering up connivance and Imperial Concubine Chen was granted the right to help manage the Sixth Palace. The crown prince was also accused of misconduct by others in the imperial court the next day.
Later, the empress stated that she was ill so the morning and evening greeting was excused. However, the concubines knew this was also a disguise of confinement in regard to the empress.
The crown prince’s hard-won job would’ve made him achieve meritorious deeds, and he would be lucky to draw supporters in the court, however, he was removed by the emperor, and the originally good job that belonged to him was handed over to Shen Zhonghua.
This made the imperial concubines who were originally in the empress’s faction in the harem and the officials who were originally standing on the crown prince’s side in the imperial court all feel like the momentum would only continue to get worse and worse so they turned into his faction......
Not long after Imperial Uncle Cen left the palace, he was originally supposed to stay quietly in his imperial uncle’s residence with his good fortune, however, he sneaked out at night and lingered at the brothel. One of his hands was cut off because he was fighting with a Jianghu person over the hua kui in the brothel. If he wasn’t sent for treatment in time, one was afraid that he was already dead in that dirty back alley.
(T/N: Hua kui literally means a nickname for a famous beauty or courtesan.)
Naturally, they couldn’t go and made a big fuss over this matter to the one who did it and that person seemed to have disappeared from the earth. It was just later, although he concealed it at all costs, in the end, this matter still spread to the ears of today’s emperor. Therefore, he directly stripped his imperial uncle’s official robe and sinecure position!
Moreover, going out secretly during the time of confinement was equivalent to committing the crime of deceiving the monarch. The emperor had always restrained fear of the Cen family so the crime of deceiving the monarch could be regarded as an excellent excuse to well punish his family......

Princess Weilan thought as long as Imperial Uncle Cen didn’t speak about those things, it wouldn’t implicate her, however, she didn’t expect it. Within a few days came the matter that made her headache —— Peace marriage!
Marry that infamous man of the Northern Country —— Ge Shuhan!
It was said that Ge Shuhan was cruel and brutal. He once threw his last wangfei into the herd of horses that were under aphrodisiac. He enjoyed and laughed with everyone watching the woman being insulted and unable to recognize being human!
He even stuck wooden sticks, knife handles, and even objects such as wolf’s fangs stuffed into the woman’s lower body!
Since they were fully aware of this, the objects of peace marriage were naturally impossible to be those few princesses that the emperor doted on!
Therefore, regardless of when Princess Weilan or Princess Anning heard that the candidates for this peace marriage would be selected among their several princesses and it was highly possible when making a choice, it would be between the two of them, Princess Weilan faintly understood that the matter of making peace marriage was targeted because of the accident of Imperial Uncle Cen. It was revenge!
Could it be the general saw through their plot?
However, according to those few generals’ temperaments, if they knew that someone treated their young miss like that, it didn’t make sense if they didn't cut down other people’s doors with their swords. It was definitely not playing these insidious moves quietly behind your back.
Who could it be?
Princess Weilan who self believed she was extremely clever couldn’t think of the result of who......
“The peace marriage can be anyone! It can’t be me anyway!” Princess Weilan thought.

Going back to Qiqi’s side. She was exhausted that day. Somehow she unknowingly fell asleep and found herself sleeping in the nineteenth princess’s palace.
Previously, she had only seen the princess one or two times at some banquets. She wasn’t very familiar with the nineteenth princess. Qiqi didn’t know why she was in the princess’s place now nor did she know why the nineteenth princess who nodded as a greeting would reach out a helping hand.
It wasn’t until the nineteenth princess who took care of her called her sweetly: “New sister-in-law.”
She suddenly came to realize. It was probably because of Shen Zhonghua.
Thinking of doing something like that with Shen Zhonghua again, Qiqi blushed. She felt like everything shouldn’t nor should she plead for someone’s unwillingness, but Shen Zhonghua appeared in time and took her away. It really solved her dilemma. At least it saved the face of the general’s residence.
The nineteenth princess and Qiqi chatted very pleasantly. They even felt regret for not meeting early. At the same time, she also let the people in the general’s residence know. Especially the eldest sister-in-law needed not to worry. She said that after Miss Su woke up, she would send her back to the general’s residence safe and sound.
These were naturally ordered by Shen Zhonghua. After all, the two of them did that kind of thing and there were still traces of love on her body. It was hard to hide not being noticed by mother Su and her sisters-in-law who were concerned about her. Qiqi naturally understood too so she stayed overnight at the princess’s palace and her intuition told her that the nineteenth princess was a very nice, lovely, and simple girl.
