Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

Chapter 199 Rong Pei 1 Even at such an old age, she was still taking aphrodisiacs

Even without Jing Si's instructions, Rong Pei would have carefully checked the dress that the eldest princess Jing Shuang had just touched. This dress was carefully designed by Ruyi herself and the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the drawings she gave. It was not only the first and only one in the harem, but also cost Ruyi a lot of effort.

Ruyi knew that her daughter loved pearls, so she inlaid the hem of her skirt with round red pearls. Each pearl was crystal clear, flawless, and exuded a warm luster that was fascinating. Just now, Jingshuang couldn't let go of these pearls and stroked them up and down several times. Rongpei, just in case, opened her eyes wide and examined them carefully.

Although she was checking her hands, Rong Pei thought that the eldest princess was still young and should not have any malicious thoughts or schemes. After all, Jingshuang was also a child she had watched grow up. Although she was a little arrogant at times, it was just a child's temper. She thought she would not be too naughty.

However, one must be on guard, especially in this deep and deep palace, where any negligence could lead to disaster. Therefore, Rong Pei decided to be more cautious and not let down her guard just because the other party was a child. She had to make sure there was no problem with the dress before she could safely give it to Jing Si to wear. So, she checked every pearl more carefully, even the smallest gaps.

But when Rong Pei looked at the pearl on the collar that seemed a little dull, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. She knew that the pearls on the clothes were carefully selected by the Queen herself, and they should emit a pink glow, but the pearl in front of her looked gloomy, as if it had lost its original brilliance.

With full of doubts, Rong Pei carefully brought the pearl close to her nose and sniffed it. At first, the smell was faint and light, but as time went by, the fragrance became stronger. Gradually, Rong Pei felt her head becoming dizzy and her thoughts were no longer clear.

She shook her head with all her might, trying to free herself from the confusion and stupor, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not change the status quo. In desperation, she had to take an extreme approach to awaken her consciousness - biting the tip of her tongue! In an instant, a piercing pain spread throughout her body like an electric current, making her almost faint. However, it was this pain that gradually made her originally confused thoughts become clear.

Rong Pei took a deep breath, calmed her mind, and slowly moved her eyes to her collar, which had been ripped open at some point. When she saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel shocked and terrified. She couldn't remember when she had ripped open her collar, and this sudden amnesia made her more certain: there was definitely something wrong with this dress!

At this moment, Rong Pei's mind flashed through various possibilities, and she began to recall every detail after putting on this dress. Every detail and every movement repeatedly emerged in her mind, and she had to find the clues.

……

Because Jingsi had to attend a family dinner in the evening, the study task originally scheduled for the evening was naturally delayed. However, as Jingsi's good brother, Yongji knew the importance of learning for growth and would never easily give up any opportunity to teach his sister. After all, they were siblings, and they only had this one sister!

So, Jingsi, who had originally planned to go out to play in the afternoon, was dragged to the desk by her brother. Although she was extremely reluctant, she could only sit down silently in the face of her brother's firm and serious gaze.

However, Yongqi still overestimated his sister's learning ability and patience. Not long after, Yongqi's extremely disappointed roar came from the study:

"I've told you so many times, why can't you remember it?! Come back after the family dinner tonight and copy it for me fifteen times! If you can't finish it, don't even think about going to bed!"

Jing Si rubbed her ears that were almost deafened by the noise and sighed helplessly. She knew that her brother was so strict because he cared about her, but at the moment she felt extremely wronged and frustrated. Looking at the piles of books, pens, inkstones, and paper in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid I really won't be able to sleep tonight!"

-

Ruyi was sitting on the couch, holding the jewelry she had carefully selected for her daughter, immersed in the warmth of maternal love. Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence, and Rong Pei rushed in in a panic, with a few beads of sweat on her forehead and a face full of anxiety.

Ruyi's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind. She quickly put down the jewelry in her hand, stood up, and asked with concern: "Rong Pei, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Rong Pei walked quickly to Ruyi's side, calmed her breathing a little, and replied with a slightly trembling voice:

"Empress, something terrible has happened. The eldest princess has ulterior motives and has tampered with the clothes that our second princess will wear tonight, adding a large amount of aphrodisiac. I just smelled it a little bit and I felt dizzy and couldn't stand steadily."

Ruyi's face suddenly changed after hearing this, with a flash of surprise and anger in her eyes. She immediately winked at Lianxin behind her, signaling her to go out and ask the imperial physician Jiang Yubin to come over. After all, this matter concerns the safety of her daughter, so it is more appropriate to ask the imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital to check.

"Are you sure it was Jingshuang who did it? Do you have any solid evidence?" Ruyi stared at Rong Pei and asked in a serious tone.

Rong Pei nodded and answered firmly:

"To answer the Queen, when I brought this dress back from the Ministry of Internal Affairs today, I carefully checked it inside and out. After I was sure there was no problem, I gave it to the Second Princess to choose. Later, the First Princess came. After hearing that the Second Princess was interested in choosing this dress, she liked it very much and even touched it several times. After the First Princess left, the Second Princess asked me to check the dress carefully again to see if there were any damages or gaps. I was a little worried, so I carefully checked all the parts of the dress again, and I noticed that the pearl luster on the collar seemed to be a little wrong, so I took a closer look and sniffed a few more times, and the result was..."

"What's the result?"

Rong Pei pursed her lips tightly, as if she had made up her mind to go all out, and continued:

"Empress, do you know what happened just now? I undressed myself without even realizing it! This is so weird! The eldest princess is so vicious, she obviously wants to embarrass our second princess at the family dinner!"

Rong Pei became more and more excited as she spoke, and her hands began to wave involuntarily, showing Ruyi her collar, which had just been unbuttoned by the incense. Her excitement was understandable, after all, since she entered the palace and entered Changchun Palace, Rong Pei had always been careful and cautious, and had never been negligent or missed anything. Now encountering such a thing was undoubtedly a huge blow to her.

Fortunately, when she was checking her clothes, she was the only one in the room. Otherwise, if others saw her like this, who knows what kind of joke she would make! Ruyi looked at Rong Pei, whose face was flushed with excitement, and she couldn't help but feel touched. She knew Rong Pei's loyalty to her, and this loyalty had long been deeply engraved in Ruyi's heart.

"Rong Pei, I'm so sorry for what you have done to me." Ruyi patted Rong Pei's hand gently, with a determined light in her eyes.

"However, I will seek justice for you and Jing Si. Jing Shuang did this just to make Jing Si look bad at the family banquet. Humph, I want to see what a little girl can come up with!"

Ruyi's voice revealed a kind of majesty and confidence, as if she was ready to face all challenges. She would never let anyone succeed, and would never let anyone around her get hurt.

……

Before the banquet started, the palace maids and eunuchs were already busy going in and out to set up the venue. As the wind music sounded, guests began to enter the banquet venue one after another.

Because of the emperor's special permission, the people from Khorchin all wore costumes unique to their tribe, especially the woman walking in front, who was very conspicuous.

Unlike the women of the Qing Dynasty, that woman's face revealed a more heroic spirit, and her body was much more sturdy than the women in the capital. If you looked at her face to face, you would probably think that this person was not easy to get along with.

But when the woman saw Balab coming over to greet her, her eyes could not help but turn red. She tightly grasped her son whom she had not seen for many years, and kept shouting "My son"

-

The emperor and Ruyi sat at the table together, followed by the empress's two legitimate children. This made Jingshuang, who was already jealous of Jingsi, feel itchy when she saw this.

Fu Cha Zhu Ying, who was standing by, naturally noticed that her daughter's eyes were about to pop out, so she had to pull her daughter's sleeves secretly to prevent her from doing it too obviously. It would be bad if it attracted the attention of the Queen Mother.

However, Jingshuang only felt unhappy for a short while when she saw Jingsi wearing a short jacket inlaid with pink pearls.

When the Korchin lady saw Jingsi, her eyes lit up and she started praising Jingsi for her demeanor as a legitimate daughter. Jingshuang curled her lips silently, humph, she didn't know if she would be able to praise her more later.

Since Jingsi dared to wear this dress, it meant that Aunt Rong Pei in Changchun Palace didn't notice what he had done. She also said that nothing tampered with could escape Aunt Rong Pei's eyes. Now it seems that they are all fake.

Ruyi was sitting on the upper seat, so she could see everything clearly. She also noticed Jingshuang's smile that could not be suppressed. Today was a family banquet, and all the guests were important ministers. Anyone could make a fool of themselves, but the princesses and princes in the palace must not make a fool of themselves. However, Jingshuang, who was already so old, did not understand the principle that everyone would prosper together and suffer together.

"Oh, or maybe it's because the feng shui in the palace is good for people. When our Korchin's second prince left, he was still a little kid, but now he has grown so big. If our king saw how brave and strong his son has become under your guidance, he would definitely be more loyal to you in the future."

The person who spoke was the wife of the leader of Khorchin, the biological mother of Balubu. She smiled flatteringly and toasted the emperor while speaking. The emperor was very pleased to hear this.

When Jit came to the capital from afar, she specially learned the etiquette culture of the Qing Dynasty. Although her etiquette was a little less than standard at this moment, it fully demonstrated Khorchin's sincere respect for the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor has always valued the Khorchin clan, so he would not disappoint Jit's kindness. He waved his hand to signal Jit to get up quickly, and said with a smile:

"Madam, there is no need to be so polite. Since the Second Prince entered my dynasty, he has been studying together with the princes in my palace. He is gifted and smart. Sometimes, he even makes me more satisfied than my own son. Haha...!"

Ji Te was originally worried that her son, who had been pregnant for ten months, would suffer injustice in the Qing Dynasty. After all, the child was in poor health when he was born, and she had gone through untold hardships to raise him until he was six or seven years old. However, what was frustrating was that her hateful husband insisted that she send her youngest child to the Qing Dynasty to show the friendly relationship between the two dynasties.

The eldest son of her and her husband had been trained as the future king of Khorchin since he was young. He was burdened with heavy responsibilities and naturally could not be sent away easily. It was a pity for her poor little son! Although he had the title of legitimate son, he did not enjoy the proper treatment in the end. Those illegitimate sons lived a carefree life, while her own children suffered all kinds of grievances. Whenever she thought of this, Ji Te felt very depressed.

However, when Ji Te recalled her husband's instructions to her before he left, her mood calmed down a little. This time, she came to visit her children who she had not seen for many years, and also to find a good marriage for her second son. After all, men on the grasslands get married early, and Ji Te and the king's eldest son have been married for many years. Now that she has finally come to the Qing Dynasty, she must untie this knot in her heart no matter what.

After careful observation, Ji Te found that the empress's daughter, the legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty, was quite outstanding. Although her son was now a hostage in the Qing Dynasty, he was still the legitimate second prince of Khorchin, with an extremely noble status. Naturally, only the legitimate princess of the palace could match him.

At this time, a melodious music sounded, and a group of graceful dancers slowly walked onto the stage and began to dance happily. Everyone present applauded and cheered, and the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic. These dances were brought over by Korqin. Compared with the Qing Dynasty, the dance postures were particularly open, which attracted the attention of all the men in the room.
