Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

"Ruyi, do you still remember the late emperor and my mother's eldest princess, Princess Duanshu?"

Ruyi paused for a moment while helping the emperor serve tea and water, then looked up at the emperor and praised him unabashedly.

"Of course I remember. The eldest princess is the most beloved daughter of the late emperor and my mother. At that time, she went to Junggar to marry for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. The emperor always makes fun of me. How could I forget the emperor's sister?"

Ruyi leaned softly on the emperor's shoulder until the emperor could not help but hold her in his arms again. Then Ruyi continued in a soft voice:

"Your Majesty, why did you suddenly mention Princess Duanshu to me today? But did the princess write a letter to you, Your Majesty?"

Although Ruyi is now fully aware of Princess Duanshu's affairs, she still has to pretend when it's time.

The emperor did not listen carefully to Ruyi's words, but sighed heavily, revealing fatigue in his words.

"It's okay to tell you. I just came back from my mother's Xining Palace. Actually, there is nothing serious. It's just that Duanshu wrote me a letter a few days ago asking for help, saying that there has been a serious civil strife in Junggar recently, and she hopes that I will send troops to help her husband rectify the civil strife. But Ruyi, you also know that I am barely sitting on the throne now. I also took out a lot of relief from the national treasury some time ago. If I rashly send troops now, it will cause chaos to my Qing Dynasty!"

A dark emotion flashed in Ruyi's eyes. If it were in her previous life, Ruyi would probably have been fooled by the emperor who looked dejected at this moment.

However, when the emperor was young, he was still a good and wise ruler who worked hard to govern the country, so the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

As for the state treasury, which was even more abundant, it would take Ruyi decades to steal a rare treasure every day before being discovered. How could she send the Qing Dynasty into civil strife just because of a single military expedition?

It's just that he doesn't want to send troops because he is afraid of getting himself into trouble.

Ruyi looked coldly at the emperor who was leaning his head in her arms. Yes, whenever the emperor encountered troubles or entanglements, his first thought would be to come to Changchun Palace to find her.

But when the emperor looked up and made eye contact with Ruyi, the emotion on her face changed instantly. She curled her lips, her eyes full of love and heartache for the emperor, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, why do you have to be so distressed? Although my mother and the princess are both members of the royal family, for me, your Majesty is my heaven. If something bothers your Majesty, your Majesty will naturally put state affairs first. Only when the Qing Dynasty prospers can Princess Duanshu live well in Junggar. Moreover, your Majesty made an exception and conferred the titles of the two empress dowagers right after he ascended the throne. People are praising your filial piety. I'm sure my mother will understand your dilemma."

All of Ruyi's words were in line with the emperor's true inner thoughts. If it were in her previous life, Ruyi might have said a few words to ease the relationship between the emperor and the woman in Xining Palace, but in this life, Ruyi didn't want to care about these things at all. It was not her family's business, so there was no need to make herself unhappy.

The emperor was truly satisfied with what Ruyi said, and the dissatisfaction he had felt when he was scolded by Zhen Huan when he came here also disappeared after being scolded by Ruyi.

"Ruyi, I know that you are the only one in the harem who understands my feelings the best!"

Ruyi followed the emperor's hand-holding gesture and leaned in the emperor's arms very gently, secretly saying in her heart:

"It's been two lifetimes, how can you not live wisely?"

-

After receiving Ruyi's comfort, the emperor was naturally overjoyed and felt that he was on the right path, so he went back to write a reply to Princess Duanshu.

As for Xining Palace, ever since Zhen Huan scolded the Emperor, the atmosphere in the entire palace has become terribly depressing.

Sitting in the middle, Zhen Huan looked at the letter sent by her daughter over and over again with a grim face, until a tear suddenly fell on the letter.

Zhen Huan seemed to come back to her senses suddenly. She closed the letter in her hand without changing her expression, handed it to Fu Jia beside her and instructed

"Fujia, go and deliver this letter to Concubine Jing in Shoukang Palace. In the harem, besides me, Concubine Jing is the only one who misses my Hengchu the most."
