Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Zhenshu walked forward considerately, gently rubbed Jin Yuyan's legs, and continued gently: "Master, of course I understand your painstaking efforts. Although Li Xin is just an old maid in Qixiang Palace, she is loyal to you. Let's just let her work for us! Anyway, we will not treat her badly in terms of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. After all, you are kind-hearted!"

Jin Yuyan couldn't help but smile when she heard that, and she and Zhenshu talked about the interesting things that happened in the palace recently.

Zhenshu has been with Jin Yuyan for a long time. Sometimes, as long as Zhenshu stands quietly beside Jin Yuyan, Jin Yuyan will feel at ease. After all, Zhenshu is her only maternal clan member in this huge Qing Dynasty imperial city.

And what about Concubine Yi? Ever since she got the permission from the Emperor and the Empress to move out of Jingyang Palace and live in Qixiang Palace, she obviously felt that her mental state was much better. It seemed that the atmosphere here was more suitable for her to recuperate and recover her vitality.

Once her spirits improved, her daily routine became much more regular. Sometimes, Concubine Yi slept the whole day and was awake at night; sometimes, she slept the entire day and night.

However, the imperial physician Ping An Pulse Bao would come to Qixiang Palace on time every day to check Concubine Yi's pulse, so Concubine Yi was fine.

Since Jin Yuyan let Concubine Yi live in her Qixiang Palace, she has never done anything to her. After all, if Concubine Yi got into trouble in her palace in the future, the Emperor and the Empress would probably blame her first.

However, there is nothing that Jin Yuyan decides to do that she cannot accomplish. Of course, she will not attack Xiashou, the noble lady who now lives in her palace.

But that doesn't mean he can allow Concubine Yi to give birth to a healthy little prince safely.

Come to think of it, the pregnancy periods of Concubine Yi and Zhang in the cold palace were close, but Concubine Yi had supplements sent to her every day by Concubine Xian, and the cold palace didn't seem to be as lively as the Qixiang Palace.

What Jin Yuyan didn't know was that although the supplements sent by the cold palace were sent from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they were all inspected by people sent by the emperor.

When Ruyi learned the news, she knew that Zhang's position in the emperor's mind should not be underestimated.

But the emperor liked Zhang, so he gave her a higher status. In the end, the emperor only remembered his good points.

So when Ruyi took the initiative to propose that Zhang Minmin become a foreign woman under the Ulanara family, the emperor was so excited that he stepped forward and grabbed Ruyi's hand, as if he was so excited that he forgot his current identity.

When the emperor noticed his own misbehavior, he coughed slightly to cover up his embarrassment, then patted Ruyi's shoulder calmly.

"The Queen is thoughtful. Zhang is pregnant now, so she should have a reasonable status. The Queen's mother's family is a noble family with a clean family tradition. It is the Queen's kindness to give Zhang a status belonging to the Ulanara clan. I remember that your father saved a lot of refugees some time ago. I will draft an edict to confer the title of First-Rank Loyal Duke on your father and the title of First-Rank Lady on your mother. This will help you and Yongqi accumulate power in the future."

Ruyi knew very well that since she had taken the initiative to help the emperor solve his problems, the emperor would definitely reward her, but she never expected that the emperor would offer her such a huge benefit. This made her ecstatic and her head was buzzing.

At this moment, the sound of Ruyi kneeling on the ground to express her gratitude also added a bit of sincerity. After all, this joy came from the heart!

"I thank the emperor for his kindness! My father and mother are now old and weak. It is the supreme honor of our Ulanara family and my great honor to be personally canonized as the Duke of Zhongguo and the Lady of the First Rank by the emperor. I believe that with this honor in the future, my father can retire to the court with peace of mind and enjoy a quiet life in the mansion."

Ruyi seemed to mention unintentionally that her father wanted to live in peace in his old age. Her tone was flat, as if she was just saying it casually, but her eyes drifted towards the emperor. It was obvious that when the emperor heard what she said, his eyes subconsciously looked towards where she was kneeling.

Ruyi was secretly delighted, knowing that she had achieved half of her goal. She lowered her head slightly, making her expression more humble, and waited for the emperor's next reaction.

Sure enough, when Ruyi raised her head again, the emperor had already stood up from the chair. He personally walked to Ruyi, stretched out his hands, and slowly helped Ruyi up. Ruyi felt the emperor's body temperature and strength, and she couldn't help feeling sick in her heart.

The emperor looked at Ruyi affectionately and said softly, "I have no regrets in my life because I have such a close friend as the queen in this harem. Don't worry, if Duke Zhongguo wants to enjoy his old age, I will naturally reward him well. He has been loyal to the country for so many years, and I will pay attention to the rewards he deserves."

After hearing the emperor's words, Ruyi's disgust disappeared and she was filled with joy. She knew that the emperor was recognizing her family and trusting and loving her.

She looked at the emperor gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes, and said with a choked voice:

"I thank the emperor for his grace."

The emperor smiled and patted Ruyi's hand, comforting her: "Queen, there is no need to be so polite. This is what you deserve. If you need anything in the future, just tell me."

Ruyi nodded, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction. She knew that in the emperor's mind, she was probably just a devoted wife.

So when the emperor learned that his father was going to retire and return to his hometown to enjoy his old age, he happily gave benefits to his father, who was now a first-rank loyal duke.

All of this is inseparable from Ruyi's wisdom and scheming over the years.

Ruyi raised her eyes slightly and stared into the emperor's deep eyes, which clearly reflected her current appearance. Once upon a time, she regarded the emperor's praise as a treasure, and worked diligently every day to manage the affairs of the harem, just to seek his praise.

However, now, the emperor would praise her sincerely every day and come to her palace more often than in her previous life, but she could no longer feel the slightest emotion.

Ruyi walked out of the Yangxin Palace slowly, followed by boxes of gifts that the emperor had specially ordered Li Yu to deliver to Changchun Palace. These gifts were so numerous and dazzling that they formed an extremely spectacular scene.

The sun shines on Ruyi, reflecting her lonely and determined figure. She walks silently, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She once longed for the emperor's recognition and favor, and made countless efforts for it. But now, she has become indifferent to all this and understands that what is really important is not the praise or reward from others.

As time goes by, Ruyi gradually realizes that the meaning of life is not to pursue external vanity and power, but to find inner peace and tranquility. She learns to let go of the obsession with the past and cherish the people and things that really exist around her.

In this seemingly prosperous and bustling palace world, Ruyi found her own quiet corner.

Ruyi knew that what she had just said touched the emperor's heart. After all, Zhang Minmin had been staying in the gloomy and deserted cold palace despite being pregnant for so many days. The emperor must have felt pity for her and was extremely distressed for her.

However, due to Zhang Minmin's humble background, she had to give up and had been thinking about finding a suitable identity for Zhang Minmin in the harem.

Now, he took the initiative to please them and asked for titles and rewards for his mother and father that were never theirs in their previous life. In the future, his mother and father will surely be able to enjoy their old age.

With a father who was a first-rank Duke Zhongguo, a mother who was a first-rank lady, and a sister who became the queen, such a triple identity background was enough for his younger brother to make a name for himself in the previous dynasty.

If it were her previous life, she would definitely send Zhang Minmin out of the palace secretly without telling the emperor in order to protect the reputation of the emperor and the royal family, but in this life, Ruyi simply didn't want to do such a thankless task.

The benefits that the emperor promised to her also made Ruyi deeply realize how much benefit she could bring to herself by obeying the emperor at this moment.

……

Because of Ruyi's suggestion behind the scenes, Zhang Minmin was soon moved out of the cold palace as the daughter of a foreign family under the Ulanara clan. Concubine Yi now lived in Qixiang Palace, so the emperor had Zhang Minmin sent to a side hall in Jingyang Palace and conferred her the title of Concubine Zhang.

The news spread quickly in the harem, causing quite a stir. Among the many concubines, the one who reacted most strongly was Fu Cha Langya of the Yanxi Palace.

"What? The Empress actually took the initiative to let Zhang become an adopted daughter of her Ulanara clan? Not only that, she also asked the Emperor to canonize her as a noble lady, and now she has moved into the Jingyang Palace?"

Fu Cha Langya widened her eyes and asked in disbelief.

The palace maids beside her also looked at each other, obviously very surprised by the news.

"What is going on? Why would the Queen do this? Doesn't she know how much of a threat this will bring to us?"

Fu Cha Langya frowned and fell into deep thought.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. After all, in this harem, every woman is an enemy, let alone a noble lady like Zhang from such a poor family?

Fu Cha Langya decided that she could not sit still and wait for death. She had to take action to protect her and her child's status. So she began to secretly investigate Zhang Guiren's background and origins, trying to find out the clues...

Fu Cha Lang Ya felt aggrieved at this moment.

Fu Cha Langya was so angry that her face turned pale and her body trembled involuntarily, as if her anger would erupt like a volcano in the next moment. She clenched her teeth tightly and tried to restrain the anger in her heart, but the hot breath still rushed through her body, making her feel extremely aggrieved and resentful.

Thinking of the last time Zhang Minmin openly seduced the emperor in front of her, Fu Cha Langya's anger burned even more fiercely. She watched the emperor being fascinated by Zhang Minmin, and then turned away without any nostalgia, leaving her alone in the wind. At that time, Fu Cha Langya secretly vowed to find a chance to take revenge on this vixen and let her know how powerful she was.

However, before Fu Cha Langya could make a move, the emperor actually gave Zhang Minmin the title of noble lady, which was undoubtedly the greatest insult and provocation to her. This not only slapped Fu Cha Langya in the face, but also brought shame to the entire Fu Cha family. She could not accept such a fact and felt that her dignity had been severely trampled on. At this moment, Fu Cha Langya's heart was full of resentment and unwillingness. She decided to find a way to save the situation no matter what and not let Zhang Minmin succeed.

Su Lian and Zhao Yitai were quick to react. When Fu Cha Langya threw something at them, they knelt down at her feet. Over the years, Fu Cha Langya had become moody and often lost her temper and threw things for no reason. Perhaps because she had been restrained for too long since she was a child, she would smash things in the Yanxi Palace to vent her anger when she was not satisfied after entering the palace.

However, no matter how angry Fucha Langya was, Zhang Minmin's order would never be revoked. After all, Zhang Minmin was now deeply favored by the emperor, and the two had a friendship like that of ordinary couples. More importantly, Zhang Minmin had an outstanding appearance. Even in the environment of the harem full of beauties, her appearance was outstanding.

Therefore, Fu Cha Langya could only sulk in vain. At this moment, Zhang Minmin was riding in a sedan chair covered with several layers of cushions, being carefully carried from the cold palace to the Jingyang Palace, which had no main seat for the time being.
