Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

The emperor looked at Huang Qiying, who was lying in Ruyi's arms without a sound, with a complicated expression, and an indescribable emotion rose in his heart. After all, Huang Qiying had been in love with him for many years, but now that things had developed to such a point, he was actually a little at a loss, not knowing what to say or what to do.

Ruyi raised her eyes and looked at the emperor, who had been silent and at a loss since entering the room, and a feeling of disgust surged in her heart.

Huang Qiying had been with the emperor for more than ten years. The maids and eunuchs who served her went to Changchun Palace and Yangxin Palace to report the news at the same time. However, the emperor always liked to come so slowly. He was really heartless! Ruyi kept a calm expression on her face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

She calmly gestured to Huanxin, who was already crying, to help Huang Qiying put her clothes in order. After finishing all this, Ruyi slowly stood up and gently reminded the emperor:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yi has been with you for a long time, and she once carried your heir. It would be better to promote Concubine Yi to a higher position after your death. This would also be a way to repay Concubine Yi's loyalty in serving you."

The emperor looked at Ruyi's serious expression with admiration, and gently closed his head and said,

"The Queen is right. Concubine Yi served me for many years. After her death, she will be named Concubine Yi. Let's have a funeral for a concubine. Was Concubine Yi peaceful when she passed away?"

Ruyi's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile, as if she had already known everything that was happening before her eyes. She quietly watched the emperor, who was sitting on a chair beside her pretending to be sad, secretly feeling sad, as if trying to hide his true feelings.

However, Ruyi knew in her heart that this was just a false performance. Her eyes gradually became cold and even a little mocking. She knew clearly that the emperor was not really sad, but was using this superficial grief to maintain his dignity and status.

"When Concubine Yi left, she didn't feel any pain. She was just worried that the emperor didn't come. Your Majesty, there are fewer and fewer old people in the palace now, and even I am old."

Ruyi's last sentence was a little more sincere. She didn't have much feelings for Huang Qiying at first, but she thought Huang Qiying was a little too foolish. Now she saw Huang Qiying die in her arms with her own eyes. Ruyi couldn't help but sigh that life in this world seems to be nothing more than this.

When a girl grows up, she will leave her parents and go to her husband's house, where she will spend the next few decades of her life under the protection of her husband. Her husband is born to have three wives and four concubines. If his husband has her in his heart, she will have a better life in his backyard. Otherwise, she may not even know if anyone will remember her when she dies.

Huang Qiying's funeral was quite grand. Because Huang Qiying was still talking about the emperor when she died, the emperor felt more pity and guilt for Huang Qiying. The emperor buried Huang Qiying with great honor and gave a lot of gold, silver and jewelry to Huang Qiying's family as compensation.

When Ruyi and her sisters heard the news in Changchun Palace, Ruyi felt nauseous in her heart. The emperor in his youth could still be considered a human being, but now that he has been on the throne for many years, he has long become cold-blooded and ruthless.

There are so many women in the harem, but the emperor only really cares about a few of them. In her previous life, she was unwilling to accept this and kept competing with the emperor, but in the end, she ended up being rejected by the emperor.

It had been so long since I was reborn that even my memories had become fuzzy, especially about what the emperor said after he slapped me twice. Only some fragments were left.

It seems that the emperor said at that time that he could neither compare to the dignified and virtuous Empress Xiaoxian nor the gentle and charming Concubine Ling. However, the emperor at that time had long forgotten that the reason why he was able to marry into the palace was that he and he were in love. Now he just doesn't love her anymore, so why do he have to find so many excuses?

Gao Xiyue changed her usual cheerful disposition and sighed all day. When the children in the house were taken away by the nanny, she couldn't help but sigh: "Ah..."

That long sigh seemed to contain endless sorrow and misery.

"Alas, it's a pity for Concubine Yi. After all, she was an old lady who had served the emperor since she was in the palace. Not only did she fail to give birth to a child, but now she is gone. The emperor is so heartless. I remember that he kept praising Concubine Yi for her gentleness and generosity, and for knowing when to advance and retreat. I heard that when Concubine Yi died, she wanted to see the emperor, and the emperor spent some time with Concubine Zhang in the Yangxin Palace. If the queen hadn't sent someone to invite her, the emperor might not have remembered that there was a Concubine Yi waiting for him to see in Jingyang Palace. Alas, I don't know if the emperor will be nicer to Jingfu if I die accidentally in the future."

Gao Xiyue had just finished speaking and had not had time to catch her breath when she felt a cold hand tightly covering her mouth. She turned her head in horror and saw Hailan's beautiful and cold face facing her.

Even Hai Lan, who was usually gentle and weak, was looking at Gao Xiyue with an unusually serious expression. However, her expression did not intimidate Gao Xiyue at all, but instead made her want to laugh.

At the same time, Ling Xueyu, who was standing aside, had a sad face. She leaned listlessly on Hailan's shoulder and whispered to Hailan in a low voice:

"The Empress Dowager of Xining Palace seems to have recently selected two of the most outstanding ladies from those famous families. I originally thought that the Empress Dowager would bring those women to the Emperor at the family banquet the day after tomorrow. However, the Emperor is now worried about the death of Concubine Yi, so the palace has not held a banquet to celebrate for a month. I don't know how the Empress Dowager will introduce them to the Emperor this time."

Ruyi let out a long sigh. She knew the background of the two people who were to be sent from Xining Palace. They were not troublesome people. It was just that Yehenara was crazy about the emperor.

……

While people in Changchun Palace were speculating on when the man from Xining Palace would send the two women to the emperor, there was already movement in the Yangxin Palace tonight.

"Your Majesty, Aunt Fujia from the Empress Dowager's side is here. She said she wants to recommend two young ladies to you. If Your Majesty likes any of them, you can keep them."

The emperor heard this and raised his eyes calmly, but he quickly put down the memorial in his hand and said coldly,

"Let her in."
