Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Ruyi was secretly surprised and couldn't help but look up, her eyes fell on the emperor's face that was staring at her with deep affection. As the saying goes, "To be with the emperor is like being with a tiger." The emperor's heart is as deep as the sea and difficult to guess, just like a needle in the sea that is hard to fathom.

She never expected that the emperor would be so generous and give her such a huge gift.

Ruyi was so excited that she couldn't help swallowing her saliva. This was the most important thing for her at the moment. Originally, she was planning to wait until Jingsi's birthday came in the future to find a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter with the emperor.

But he never thought that the emperor would take the initiative to bring up Jingsi's marriage today. However, as long as the emperor also did not want Jingsi to be sent to marry, then his daughter would not have to be separated from his flesh and blood in the future.

"I would like to thank His Majesty on behalf of Jingsi! I know very well that as a princess of the Qing Dynasty, Jingsi deserves due courtesy. If Jingsi can stay in the capital in the future, I would be willing to marry a foreign prince consort who stays in the capital."

"Haha, Queen, you and I are thinking alike. Ever since Ba Lebu came to power, I have been paying close attention to the little prince's character. Over the years, he has become a very upright person. When Jing Si and Ba Lebu get along well in the future, I also hope that Jing Si can stay in the capital."

……

Because of the emperor's words, Ruyi felt much better and even found Zhang Minmin more pleasing to the eye.

"Empress, you know that the Emperor's Fourth Prince has been in poor health since he came out of my belly. He cries all day and night. If you have something to ask me, please hurry up. After all, the Fourth Prince cannot leave me for too long. Please forgive me, Empress."

Ruyi looked expressionlessly at Zhang Minmin, who was kneeling on the ground but still speaking frivolously and with provocative eyes, and felt disgusted. She blew the tea in her hand gently, and then took a sip of the Biluochun tea that had just been sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When the tea with the aroma of fresh young buds slid down her throat and into her stomach, she felt a sense of comfort all over her body.

Sure enough, the tea that the emperor specially asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send is of higher quality! Ruyi sighed secretly. The reason why Zhang Minmin, who was kneeling on the ground at this moment, dared to be so arrogant and domineering was nothing more than relying on the emperor's favor for her. But Zhang Minmin was now dazzled by the glory and wealth, and thought that she could rest assured after giving birth to a prince, and completely forgot her true status and situation in this deep palace.

"It's okay, it won't take too long. I summoned you here today because I have something important to tell you. When you first entered the palace, I promised you that you would become the adopted daughter of the Ulanara family. But you went through a lot of hardships and traveled a long distance from Jiangnan to here. The capital is so big and the journey is so long, and there must be many people who saw your true face along the way. Therefore..."

The smile on Zhang Minmin's face gradually faded. When she turned her gaze to Ruyi, her eyes revealed a hint of alertness and vigilance, and she asked in a cold tone:

"Could it be that the Queen summoned me today to ask me to swallow the so-called disguise pill?"

Zhang Minmin stared at Ruyi, who remained silent and did not respond, with a slightly sarcastic smile on her lips. Then, she stood up from the ground without hesitation, looking straight at Ruyi sitting in front of her with a slightly arrogant look, as if she was giving Ruyi some kind of hint or warning.

"Empress, why would you do this today? You actually asked me to take the Disguise Pill! If the Emperor knew about this, he would definitely be unhappy. After all, the Emperor has always loved my appearance, and as his wife, you should understand this. Why do you treat me like this?"

Ruyi looked coldly at the increasingly rude Zhang Minmin in front of her. Her originally gentle expression gradually became stern. She stared at Zhang Minmin with an impatient look and said sternly:

"You have no manners at all! Is this how the maids in the palace taught you etiquette? Suo Xin, slap me hard!"

"As ordered."

惢心 answered, then walked forward and slapped Zhang Minmin several times mercilessly. The crisp slapping sound echoed in the palace, making everyone present look sideways. Zhang Minmin covered her cheek, her eyes full of grievance and resentment, but she did not dare to resist at all.

Although she knew clearly in her heart that she had neither the courage nor the capital to disobey the order issued by the Queen, she had been acting recklessly and domineeringly in the harem for some time, and the fact that the Emperor silently supported and protected her behind every thing gradually encouraged Zhang Minmin's arrogance and rudeness over time.

Ruyi felt very relieved when she saw Zhang Minmin finally become much quieter after being slapped several times in a row. She had been sitting in the back seat for a long time, and she hadn't met a woman like Zhang Minmin who was so arrogant and domineering because of the emperor's favor.

Just then, a voice came from the door.

"Sister Queen, Xiyue came to your Changchun Palace to sit down. Oh, isn't this Concubine Zhang? It's really rare to see you! Ever since you gave birth to the fourth prince for the emperor, it seems like I haven't seen you for a long time."

Gao Xiyue walked into the house slowly with a faint smile on her face. Her eyes seemed to be casually sweeping around, but in fact they could not help but stay on Zhang Minmin. When she walked past Zhang Minmin, she suddenly snorted slightly, as if she was disdainful of her.

However, in the blink of an eye, Gao Xiyue regained her cheerful look and walked straight towards Ruyi with light steps.

Zhang Minmin stared at the two women in the room who had always been close to her - the Empress and the Imperial Concubine. Her face was as pale as paper, as if all her vitality had been drained away.

She knew very well that not long ago, the ministers of the previous dynasty had united to advise the emperor to punish her, a woman born in a brothel, in order to preserve the dignity of the royal family.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Minmin felt terrified and helpless. She was unwilling to die like this, but she could not accept losing her stunning beauty.

At this moment, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine were sitting there, looking at her without saying a word. Their eyes revealed a complex emotion, with pity and a hint of indifference. Zhang Minmin knew that in this palace, power and status were the most important, and a small person like her could become a victim of political struggle at any time.

However, Zhang Minmin did not intend to give in easily. She bit her lips tightly and secretly told herself that she must find a way to wait for the emperor to come and save her.
