My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

The woman in the lead stared blankly for a few seconds before looking at Hui in surprise: "Miss, what's going on? Is the rumor true? You're already carrying the Prince's bloodline!"

As she spoke, her attitude towards Hui became even more respectful.

In her mind, the bloodline in Hui's womb was royal blood, and therefore her master.

"Don't ask anymore, change into something else!" Hui was a little embarrassed by what she was told, and her beautiful face blushed slightly.

"Ah~, yes, Miss!" The woman in the lead chose a new long dress with a decorative belt at the waist, which could perfectly conceal the secret of Hui's lower abdomen.

After changing her clothes, he tied a ribbon around Hui's long, black hair that reached her waist... Only after everything was finished did he lead Hui out of the room.

After being carefully dressed up, Hui looked like a fairy, and Yujin was stunned when he saw her.

A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the room. She appeared to be in the prime of her life, with skin as white as snow and an exquisite face. Her long dress flowed gracefully, radiating a faint glow. Her beauty was pure and flawless, almost too beautiful to look at directly.

"Hui'er, you look so beautiful today!" Youren couldn't help but step forward, take Hui's hand, and admire the beauty before him up close.

"Th...thank you."

Yujin smelled the unique fragrance on Hui up close before noticing her clear, bright pupils, her arched eyebrows, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her fair, flawless skin with a faint rosy glow.

He teased, "Could it be that Hui'er is shy?"

“…No.” Hui turned her head away from him and changed the subject. “Didn’t you say you were going to take me to meet someone? Is this okay now?”

“Yes, absolutely! I’m sure she’ll be satisfied when she sees it.” After saying that, Yu-Jin took Hui’s hand and walked in one direction.

soon.

Hisahito stopped in front of a very large palace. He glanced at Satoshi, his eyes softening, and said, "Let's go!"

Chapter 347 Meeting Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law

Upon entering the hall, one finds a vast space, roughly the size of two or three basketball courts, with a floor made of solid wood.

The hall was empty, with no furnishings. Only a few dozen meters to the right, a woman who looked to be in her forties sat in the main seat, looking coldly at Hui. Behind her was a screen, and two maids knelt on either side of her.

As soon as Hui entered the room, she was drawn to the painting on the screen behind the lady.

The screen depicts two unidentified mythical birds. Hui thinks they resemble phoenixes, but they are different. She guesses they are mythical birds with a Japanese flair. The two birds are soaring in a sea of ​​clouds, which is very beautiful.

Empress Dowager Kiyoko looked at the beautiful Hui Mei who walked in, who was as beautiful as a fairy, but whose behavior was very crude. She stared at the screen behind her like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. Her displeasure deepened.

Yujin walked ahead, holding Hui's hand, ignoring the cold aura emanating from his mother as they slowly moved forward.

Empress Dowager Sayako is Hisahito's biological mother and the current Emperor's stepmother.

She was originally married into the royal family as the second wife of the recently deceased emperor.

Because of her status as a second wife, her life in the royal family was not easy. She had to be very careful with her every move, as her actions would be magnified and observed by the Imperial Household Agency.

The Imperial Household Agency has a long history and is the Japanese government’s agency in charge of the affairs of the Emperor, the Imperial Family and the Imperial Palace. In ancient times, it was called the “Imperial Household Ministry” or “Imperial Household Office”. It is equivalent to the steward of the Imperial Family and is responsible for all the food, clothing and housing of the Imperial Family members. It has a lot of power. Except for Imperial Family members, such as Hisahito, who needs to go on a trip, he needs to consult with the Imperial Household Agency and get approval.

In this world, Japan also surrendered after World War II and was occupied and transformed by America. It was garrisoned and became a nominally independent country, but in reality, a dependent state.

However, it is somewhat different from my previous life.

Hui only discovered during history class that Japan surrendered in World War II on the morning of August 14, 1945, when it was supposed to surrender on the 15th, but for some reason it was brought forward by a day.

Hui didn't know what kind of butterfly effect surrendering a day early would cause, but according to what she learned from Hisahito, although the Japanese royal family in this world had also lost most of its political power, it was able to retain a guard responsible for security. This guard was managed by the Imperial Household Agency and consisted of the guards Hui had seen at the Imperial Palace.

Therefore, the Imperial Household Agency in this world wields immense power, and ordinary members of the royal family are powerless to resist them. For example, a simple security reason can restrict the personal freedom of most members of the royal family.

As a group of old aristocratic members who were staunch royalists, the Imperial Household Agency was conservative and rigid in its thinking, and was particularly harsh on women in the imperial family.

The fact that Empress Dowager Sayako was a second husband forced her to walk on thin ice all these years.

She married the previous emperor at the age of sixteen, became pregnant that same year, and gave birth to Hisahito the following year. Now she is only 37 years old, but due to the pressure of these years, she looks like she is in her forties.

However, things are much better now, because the previous emperor is dead, and she is now the person with the highest status in the imperial family. The Imperial Household Agency has no choice but to respect her wishes.

It can be said that she has successfully gone from being a daughter-in-law for many years to becoming a mother-in-law, and is now free.

However, during her arduous years, she had to show little care for her biological son, Hisahito, and instead gave almost all of her love to her stepson, the current Emperor.

She had always felt guilty towards Hisahito and wanted to find an opportunity to make amends.

More than a month ago, Hisahito told her that he had fallen in love with a commoner's daughter and vowed to marry no one but her.

She was very displeased when she heard that the other party was a commoner, even though there were precedents of commoner women marrying into the royal family since Japan's defeat in the last century.

However, this does not mean that the royal family will accept this change; on the contrary, the royal family sees it as a disgrace!

Those women who marry into the royal family are defiling the bloodline of the divine race!

Empress Dowager Sayako, being a noblewoman, thought the same way. Before even meeting Kei, she immediately looked down on her from the bottom of her heart.

However, out of guilt towards her biological son, she did not refuse on the spot, but instead sent someone to investigate Hui.

Hui's life experiences, big and small, were all recorded and laid out on her desk.

When she opened the document to the first page and saw Hui's photo, her dislike deepened.

Not for any other reason, but because she thought the girl named Kei Agasa was too beautiful.

Royal families marry for bloodline and status...

Beautiful women were usually kept outside as lovers or brought into the palace as concubines, also known as secondary wives.

If Hisahito only wanted to take this girl as his mistress, she certainly wouldn't object.

However, she... disagreed with marrying him as his principal wife and having him officially included in the royal family genealogy.

In addition, this was the first time in so many years that she had seen her own son so determined and so eager to have a woman.

Yu-jin's unusual behavior made her involuntarily think that Hui had seduced her son with her beauty.

How could her own son, a prince of the royal family, be seduced and controlled by a vixen?

She patiently continued to peruse Hui's information: average IQ, average EQ, mediocre talent, weak personality... After reading it, she concluded that she was good for nothing except for being good-looking!

Especially since Hui became pregnant out of wedlock, even though the official records said it was the prince's child, she still labeled Hui as "immoral" and her dislike for Hui intensified.

The information about Hui's child in the documents was obviously manipulated by Youren. He knew long ago that his mother would definitely send someone to investigate Hui, so he made preparations in advance.

Finally, after reviewing Hui's information, Empress Dowager Qingzi had already made up her mind: keeping this woman as a concubine was fine, bringing her into the palace as a lady-in-waiting would be the best she could do, as for... marrying her as her principal wife, don't even think about it!

The next day, she summoned Hisahito and sternly rejected his request.

But Hisahito refused to comply and immediately started arguing with her.

During the argument, Yujin accused her, "If you don't love me, why did you give birth to me...blah blah blah..."

These words deeply stung Empress Dowager Kiyoko.

She wanted to refute her son's words, but found herself speechless.

Feeling guilty, and also considering the bloodline of the boy in that girl's womb.

She... reluctantly agreed to Hisahito's request.

Because of her intervention and withstanding the pressure from the Imperial Household Agency, Hisahito was able to set the wedding date so close. However, she did all this out of guilt towards her son, and it had nothing to do with Kei.

She felt nothing but disgust for Hui!

Especially the thought of her own son arguing with her over a stranger made her so disgusted with Hui that she even contemplated murder...

As soon as Hui entered the room, she noticed the court lady in front of her who looked at her with displeasure.

Naturally, she wouldn't want to make herself uncomfortable, so she ignored the other party from the beginning and admired the mythical bird painting on the screen.

We walked for a while.

With his companion Kei, Hisahito stopped several meters away from Empress Dowager Sayako and knelt on the floor.

Hui was pulled by Yujin to kneel down beside him.

Empress Dowager Kiyomi ignored Sae and turned to look at Hisahito with a kind expression, her eyes full of concern: "You're back!"

"Yes." Yuhito nodded in response, then introduced her to Empress Dowager Sayako, "Mother, this is the girl I told you about."

"It's good to see you back. The weather has been getting cooler lately, so remember to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." Kiyoko seemed not to hear Hisahito's words and began to worry about Hisahito's health.

Yu-jin noticed his mother's dislike for Hui, but he still repeated, "Mother, she is the wife I want to marry."

"Have you been eating properly lately? Look at you, you've lost weight in such a short time!" Kiyoko said to Yuujin with concern.

Seeing his mother's expression, Yujin decided to take a different approach.

He turned to Hui, who had been silent, and introduced her: "Hui, this is my biological mother. She's been in a bad mood lately, so don't worry about her. She's your mother now too. Come on, say hello to her."

Hui turned to look at Yu Ren beside her. Her previously expressionless, stunning face suddenly blossomed into a radiant smile. She hugged Yu Ren's arm and leaned against him, saying coquettishly, "Yu Ren, I like you when you're a little thinner. You're more handsome when you're thinner!"

Hui, feigning coquettishness, looked defiantly at the livid Empress Dowager Qingzi, her beautiful eyes filled with disdain: 'Hmph! Acting like I'm eager to be your daughter-in-law, and trying to intimidate me like this! Come on, let's see who's afraid of who!'

Hui wanted to cause trouble for herself, but the other party's arrogant attitude infuriated her, and she instantly forgot everything... Anyway, she wasn't really going to be the other party's daughter-in-law, so why should she bow down!

Yujin felt the soft touch on his arm and the unique fragrance emanating from Hui. He should have been happy about Hui's initiative, but he didn't know how to react.

He naturally noticed the conflict between his mother and Hui.

He had originally intended to ease his mother's dislike for Hui, but now he was genuinely afraid the two of them would fight.

Chapter 348 Head-on Confrontation

To dispel the gunpowder smell that filled the air.

Yu-Jin gently stroked Hui's head and whispered a scolding, "Hui, stop fooling around."

Huiyi's beautiful eyes widened, filled with innocence and grievance: "Youren, you big bad guy!"

If Mieko doesn't compromise, Hisahito can only turn to his mother, Empress Dowager Sayako.

He explained, "Mother, Hui is still young and doesn't understand. Please don't take it to heart!"

Empress Dowager Kiyoko could no longer pretend to ignore Hui. Her gaze pierced Hui like a sharp thorn: "Is she the one you told me about the other day, the one you wouldn't marry anyone else? She really is so young."

Empress Dowager Sayako emphasized the phrase "at such a young age," and when she said this, her gaze shifted to Kei's lower abdomen, the meaning of which was self-evident, implying that Kei was shamelessly trying to become a mother at such a young age.

In fact, she herself married the previous emperor at the age of sixteen and became pregnant with Hisahito that same year, around the same age as Kei when she became pregnant.

On the other side, after hearing Kiyoko's sarcasm, Hui leaned even closer to Yuujin, blinking her beautiful eyes at him with a cute look, and asked curiously, "Yuujin, is she the grandma you told me about before?"

"Grandma, nice to meet you! Please give me your guidance!" Hui said warmly, straightening up and bowing slightly to show her respect for the elderly woman.
