Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

In fact, although the noble lady in the palace came from the Yanxi Palace where Fucha Langya lived, she had no other special ideas or ambitions. Every time she went to Changchun Palace to pay respects to the queen, she was always the first one to arrive. It can be said that she was very well-behaved, obedient and likable.

Not only was Yi Guiren elegant in her words and deeds, but she was also very friendly and humble to others. She got along well with everyone in the palace and never easily caused trouble or got involved in palace struggles. This low-key and humble character made her unique among the many concubines in the harem, and won her a lot of favor.

Moreover, although Concubine Yi was born as a maidservant of Fucha Langya, she also had certain talents and wisdom. She was good at observing the surrounding environment, knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and was also able to keenly perceive the emotional changes of others, so the emperor was quite fond of her.

Therefore, Ruyi never had any bad intentions or evil thoughts towards her.

Although he had no feelings for Concubine Yi and the baby in her belly, in his previous life, the baby in Concubine Yi's belly could not be saved, and it eventually implicated himself at that time.

In this life, Ruyi was not willing to care about the pregnant Concubine Yi at all. It would be better to let Fucha Langya take over and handle all the matters to avoid affecting herself again in the future.

Thinking that tomorrow is the day when her mother and brother will come to the palace to visit her, Ruyi's heart is filled with joy and anticipation.

She planned to go to the Imperial Garden to pick some high-quality osmanthus flowers to make cakes. After many years in the harem, Ruyi vaguely remembered that her mother's favorite food was osmanthus cake. After staying in the harem for a long time, sometimes Ruyi could not even remember the appearance of her family members.

Just when Ruyi finished picking the osmanthus flowers and was about to go back, she saw Concubine Yi walking towards her led by Fucha Langya. However, both Fucha Langya and Concubine Yi were paying attention to Concubine Yi's belly, which had not yet shown any signs of pregnancy, and did not notice Ruyi who was crossing the street opposite.

Ruyi immediately stepped back, then turned around and started running away.

It was the first time that惢心 and 莲心 behind him saw their master being so cowardly. They just followed him when they saw him running.

After reaching the outer palace, Ruyi looked at the empty path behind her and said to惢心 and 莲心 beside her with a happy expression:

"Recently, all the supplies in Jingyang Palace can be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and we in Changchun Palace should not be involved if we can. By the way, Suo Xin, please go to Xianfu Palace later and ask the Imperial Concubine not to wander around the palaces these days. Come to Changchun Palace tomorrow, and I will teach her to look at the account book. As the Imperial Concubine, she should also share my worries."

"Yes, slave, go right away."

After Ruyi returned to the palace, she began to re-check the background of all the servants in Changchun Palace. There was no other way. She had suffered too much in her previous life, so she had to be extra careful in this life.

Who knows if someone would plot against her behind the scenes with Concubine Yi's baby in this life? After all, as long as she is the queen, Yongji will be the legitimate eldest son. This identity alone is enough to offend many people.

Gao Xiyue heard that the Queen Mother would not allow her to go around and gossip from now on, and ordered her to go to Changchun Palace to study the account books. She was immediately depressed and walked towards this side with a sad face together with惢心. As soon as she stepped into the room, Gao Xiyue frowned, pouted and stared at Ruyi, her eyes full of resentment and begging, but she didn't say a word. She walked straight to Ruyi, grabbed Ruyi's sleeve tightly, and shook it constantly.

Ruyi calmly glanced at Gao Xiyue, who was standing beside her and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, and then continued to flip through the account book presented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as if nothing had happened. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and she said softly: "What's the matter? Didn't you say before that you wanted to learn how to read the account book from me, and that I am the most charming when I read the account book."

"Sister Queen, Xiyue, I, I..."

"No need to say more. As a noble concubine, this matter has been decided. There may be unusual movements in the palace in the near future, so you need to act with caution. Either stay in your Xianfu Palace with Hailan, or live with me in Changchun Palace to manage the account book matters together."

As soon as the voice fell, Gao Xiyue could not wait to respond: "Then I am willing to live in Xianfu Palace with Hailan!"

Hearing this, Gao Xiyue's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she stared straight at Ruyi, as if she was afraid that she would change her mind. Seeing this, Ruyi reluctantly put down the account book in her hand, chuckled, stretched out her hand, tapped Gao Xiyue's head lightly, and said softly: "You are still so playful. Well, since you like being with Hailan, then stay in Xianfu Palace. However, you are not allowed to cause any trouble. However, you still have to read the account book, so I ask you to read less."

If we were to say who Ruyi is most worried about in the harem, it would be Gao Xiyue.

In my previous life, Gao Xiyue and I were always at odds with each other. At that time, I never thought that in this life, the two of us would have such a good relationship, so good that I would almost become Gao Xiyue's other mother.

Gao Xiyue has been on good terms with Ruyi since she first married into the palace. Under Ruyi's protection, her days in the palace and the harem were carefree.

But Gao Xiyue was a gossip lover. As long as there were concubines in the harem who were on good terms with her, she would visit each palace every day to collect the latest gossip in the palace.

Ruyi didn't want Gao Xiyue to be implicated if anything went wrong with Concubine Yi's pregnancy, so she simply found something for her to do.

Although this method is somewhat dishonorable, Gao Xiyue has never been interested in reading. The only books she can read are those easy-to-understand and complicated storybooks. Just as Gao Xiyue was still arguing with Ruyi, saying that if it was really necessary, she could accept reading only one account book a day, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Li Yu ran in with a flushed face and panting. He first bowed to the Queen and Concubine Hui and said, "Your servant greets the Queen and Concubine Hui!" Then he turned to Gao Xiyue and said, "Concubine, what great news! The Emperor has chosen you tonight. Just now, when I was ordered to go to Xianfu Palace to look for you, I did not find any trace of you. Now it is getting late, I hope Concubine will go with me as soon as possible." After that, he stood respectfully aside and waited for Gao Xiyue to get up.

Gao Xiyue's willow-like slender and graceful eyebrows were tightly furrowed, as if she wanted to crush them. Then, under the heavy blows one after another, she suddenly leaned back, as if she had lost all her strength. She murmured to herself with empty eyes and lifeless eyes: "Oh my God! Why am I so unfortunate?"

Although Gao Xiyue was extremely reluctant, she finally stood up helplessly and followed Li Yu to leave. Ruyi looked at her and could only shake her head helplessly. After a sigh, she decided to let Gao Xiyue check only one account book every day. After all, although Gao Xiyue was good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, it would take some time for her to slowly adapt and learn to check account books. Just treat it as a way to kill time.

Thinking that her mother and brother would come to the palace to see her tomorrow, Ruyi, who usually went to bed on time, was unusually excited tonight. She couldn't sleep at all. She tossed and turned and kept thinking about how her mother looked when she gave birth to Jingsi last time.

Jingsi is already seven or eight years old now, and he doesn’t know how his mother and father have been doing over the years.

……

It was not until the sky outside began to lighten that Ruyi slowly fell asleep.

"Master? Master, wake up. The old lady and the young master have already entered the palace. Master, please get up and wash up first." Ruyi heard someone calling her softly in her ear while she was drowsy. She slowly opened her eyes and felt a splitting headache, as if she had slept for a long time.

惢心 gently opened the bed curtain, and the sunlight shone through the window onto Ruyi's face. She subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands. Ruyi tried hard to recall what happened last night, but her mind was only a mess. She remembered that she seemed to have had a very long and very real dream, and the scene in the dream made her heartbroken.

In that dream, she saw her father accidentally drowned, her mother weeping heartbreakingly, her hair disheveled and falling to the ground. The scenes were so clear that Ruyi could still feel the deep sadness and despair when she woke up.

Ruyi knew that those were not dreams, but just her personal experiences in her previous life.

Ruyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Just as she was in a trance, Lianxin and惢心 came in and began to help her wash and change clothes. Looking at herself in the mirror, Ruyi was a little confused, and even doubted whether everything in front of her was also an illusory dream.

However, when she dressed neatly and stepped out of the door of Changchun Palace with exquisite patterns, a gentle breeze blew in her face, like a pair of gentle hands gently caressing her face. The slight coolness brought by the breeze gradually made her originally confused mind clear.

The palace in front of her was magnificent and magnificent; the flowers and trees in the courtyard were lush and full of vitality; the maids and eunuchs who came and went were busy and orderly, each doing their own job. All of this was so familiar, as if it had just happened yesterday. Ruyi took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air, and silently told herself in her heart: "All of this is true, I am really reborn!"

Since God has given her a chance to start over, she must not waste her time again, let alone repeat the mistakes of her previous life. She must learn to be strong and learn to protect herself and those around her; she must face challenges bravely and no longer compromise easily; she must strive to pursue the truth and seek justice for the injustice she has suffered.

Ruyi clenched her fists tightly, and she secretly swore in her heart that no matter how great the difficulties and setbacks she encountered, she would never give up on herself, and she would never believe what men said. Only in this way could she live up to this life and make it worthwhile to come back again.

After doing all this, Ruyi finally felt that the burden on her heart was slightly relieved. So, she called a palace servant with a sense of relief and ordered him to go to the school to bring Jingsi and Yongqi back to the palace after class.

Now as the Empress, she no longer indulges in the affair with the Emperor. She believes that her father and mother will live in peace and health. She will never let the sufferings she experienced in her previous life happen again. Ruyi stood quietly in front of the Changchun Palace, staring straight at the only way to enter the palace from outside. Originally, Lianxin wanted to move a chair over for Ruyi to sit down and rest, but Ruyi felt that once she sat down, her vision would be limited and she would not be able to see the distant scenery clearly, so she simply chose to stand at the door all the time.

At this moment, Ruyi's thoughts gradually drifted back to her childhood. At that time, whenever her mother went out shopping, she would always wait at the door of her house like now, looking forward to her mother's early return. Time passed by minute by minute, but it seemed to be frozen. Finally, at the end of the long corridor, two figures suddenly appeared - one was tall and straight, and the other seemed to be so old that he even trembled when walking. As they gradually approached, Ruyi became more and more excited...

Ruyi's breathing suddenly stagnated, and her chest seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. A layer of mist gradually appeared in her eye sockets, blurring her vision. If it weren't for惢心 who supported her in time, she would have had trouble even standing.

The two figures gradually approached, and finally appeared clearly in front of her. Ruyi stared at their faces, but felt that they were real and unreal, far away. Her mother's face was obviously much older than a few years ago, and the traces of time were mercilessly engraved in the corners of her eyes and between her eyebrows; and her brother's appearance was completely different from what she remembered, as if he had grown into a stranger.
