Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

--------------

It just so happened that at this time, the concubine who had always been against him was pregnant, and the prince really cared about his childhood sweetheart. After the marriage, there was only one princess and the concubine who was his childhood sweetheart in the palace. /.

So since Jingshuang knew that the concubine was pregnant, she demanded that after the concubine gave birth, she must take the child under her name and raise it. . .

I don’t know if it was something that the two sides said during the argument, but it made Jingshuang so angry that she directly pulled out the sword of her husband and chopped at the concubine’s belly. . . .

In the time of danger, the prince protected the concubine behind him, and it is said that he was also slashed by Jingshuang who was so angry that she lost her mind. Now the concubine's life is saved, but she is afraid that she will never be able to get pregnant again in the future. . .

The prince consort's family has now made a scene in the imperial court, and some even want to make it clear that the emperor must give them an explanation.

Ruyi had just heard from Sanbao about the wonderful drama that happened in the Yangxin Palace, and she was so happy that she even ate an extra bowl of dinner.

Ruyi had a very good appetite tonight, but just when she was about to eat another bowl, the door curtain outside the house was pulled open by someone. Ruyi looked up at the emperor who had been silent since he came in, and sighed silently. The emperor really knew how to pick the time.

Ruyi calmly wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. Although she was still a little unsatisfied, who could blame her for being just a girl in the harem?

"Your Majesty, have you had dinner today? I have some cakes that you like to eat. How about I ask the kitchen to prepare some for you?"

Ruyi accidentally caught a glimpse of the emperor's eyes and was shocked. She found that the whites of the emperor's eyes were densely covered with red bloodshot, as if countless tiny red lines were intertwined together, which was shocking. . . .

When she approached the emperor cautiously, she could clearly see the dark circles under his eyes, which were as thick as ink, making him look exhausted and haggard. . . .

"No need. I have a headache today, so I want to come to your Changchun Palace to sit down. Yongji brought his wife to pay respects today. I think the wife is a good woman. You can rest assured about Yongji's palace in the future."

Ruyi nodded slightly, her eyes seemingly casually sweeping across the table, but in fact her mind was as clear as a mirror - the emperor's hand was moving slowly along the corner of the table, aiming directly at the exquisite pastries just presented by Lianxin.

Ruyi has always had a slight obsession with cleanliness. Seeing this scene, she spent a lot of effort to suppress her eyebrows that were about to raise. She took a deep breath and lowered her head again, fearing that she would get irritated if she looked at it again. After all, it was really unbearable to witness such a scene for a long time. . . .

The emperor was in a terrible mood at the moment. Today in the court, he was almost annoyed to death by those ministers. . .

They spoke eloquently and non-stop, accusing Jingshuang of all kinds of evil deeds one after another. The emperor felt overwhelmed and stressed. These troubles hung over the emperor's heart like a heavy cloud, making it impossible for him to concentrate on handling government affairs and to maintain his usual calm and composure. . . .

As the saying goes, if a prince breaks the law, he should be punished the same as a commoner. Now the one who is wielding a knife in public is the emperor's daughter, the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty. If the emperor does not give an explanation to those ministers, the court that the emperor has finally stabilized will surely be thrown into turmoil again in the future.

As for the concubine, the prince consort's family was willing to take in the eldest princess whose reputation was tarnished, but it was the emperor who used his royal majesty to suppress them.

The prince consort’s family was small, so when the concubine became pregnant, the elders in the family were extremely happy. Moreover, the woman was not a lowly woman, her family background was clean, her father was a minor official, and when she entered the palace, it was the emperor and the empress who personally approved it...

So even if the emperor is unwilling to meddle in other people’s affairs now, the ministers are also unwilling to do so, and one by one they all demand that the emperor must give them an explanation. . . .

The emperor has been above everyone else for too long, and now he is being pressed by those old men. He even wants to drag down and chop off all the ministers who disobey him in the court. . . .

So whenever I feel depressed, I think of the goodness of Ruyi's secluded place...

"Empress, Jingshuang is so stubborn and overbearing. If I continue to indulge her in the future, I am afraid I will lose the support of the people. But Jingshuang is the only daughter of Zhu Ying and I. I really can't bear it..."

As soon as Ruyi raised her head, she saw the emperor looking at her with a sad face. Ruyi's heart suddenly skipped a beat. She knew that the emperor came to her Changchun Palace for no reason. He must not want to deal with Jingshuang's affairs and wanted to push her out as a tool.

"I know that Your Majesty values ​​the relationship you had with Imperial Noble Consort Zhemin, but if Jingshuang continues to act so unbridled in the future, I'm afraid even the dignity of the royal family will be lost. These are not the most important things for now. The most important thing is that I'm worried that Your Majesty will lose the support of the people outside because of this."

Ruyi spoke these words with a firm gaze and a sonorous voice. As expected, she saw that the emperor’s already extremely gloomy face was now as dark as a dark cloud. Even the corners of the emperor’s lips revealed a sense of extreme restraint, as if he was trying hard to hold back some surging emotions. . . .

The emperor stretched out his fingers in an upset manner and pounded the tabletop heavily again and again. . . .

At first, the emperor could barely maintain his composure, but as time went on, Ruyi's ears were gradually filled with rapid and loud knocking sounds, as if the whole world was left with only this unsettling sound.

Dong, dong, dong... There was a sound of knocking on the table, and the frequency of the sound was so fast that Ruyi felt her brain was starting to get confused.

She is no longer the same as she used to be. The drive and passion she had in the past seem to have gradually disappeared. In the past, whenever she had free time, she always liked to find something to kill time.

At this moment, Ruyi only hoped to spend every day in peace and harmony. She didn't want to cause any trouble at all, let alone get involved in trivial matters that were none of her business, especially such a thankless job as cleaning up the mess for the emperor.

The emperor stared at Ruyi in front of him, and a trace of unwillingness still remained deep in his heart. . . .

In fact, his real purpose in coming to Changchun Palace today was nothing more than hoping that Empress Ruyi would voluntarily take over this troublesome matter. . . .

After all, in the emperor's eyes, the queen should be responsible for all matters in the harem, and if this thorny issue can be handled by Ruyi, it will not only save him a lot of trouble, but also demonstrate the queen's virtue and ability.

After all, his daughter is a girl. When dealing with such matters, he believes that the queen, who is also a woman, may be able to handle it more easily.

However, women in the harem have always been forbidden to interfere in political affairs. All these constraints made the emperor feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

Ruyi looked at the emperor's spinning ring and knew that the emperor was very worried at the moment. But sometimes she just had to show the emperor what she could do as the queen.

"Your Majesty, Jingshuang wants to be beaten and killed. Rather than letting her continue to have a feud with the Prince Consort's family, Your Majesty should make the decision and allow them to divorce. If they continue like this, I'm afraid they will become a pair of resentful couples."

When the emperor heard about this, there was no expression on his face. He sat there quietly like a silent sculpture without saying a word.

However, his eyebrows, which were originally calm and relaxed, began to frown slowly at this moment. At first, they just trembled slightly, then they became tighter and tighter, and finally locked tightly together.

Ruyi, who was standing aside, took in all the details. Her heart was like a clear and transparent mirror, reflecting everything that was happening before her eyes.

She knew very well that the emperor was actually reluctant to let Jingshuang divorce her husband. After all, Jingshuang's original reputation was already quite bad. If she divorced her husband because of casually killing a person, her reputation would probably become even more bad.

However, as the ruler of a country, if the emperor insists on acting arbitrarily and confronting all the civil and military officials in the court, it will only do harm to himself and no good.

Thinking of this, the emperor felt a nameless fire suddenly rising from the bottom of his heart, instantly burning throughout his body, making him extremely upset.

His already furrowed brows were now even more tightly knitted together, as if he wanted to rub all his worries into the wrinkles between his brows. Helplessly, the emperor slowly raised his arm, stretched out his slightly trembling right hand, and used all his strength to rub his forehead fiercely.

He was still mumbling:.

"I understand. Never mind. I'd better think about this matter carefully. What the Queen said makes sense, but Jingshuang is my daughter after all. If we divorce, I can still support her for the rest of her life."

……

Although Ruyi is well maintained now, she is still not as beautiful as before, and cannot please the emperor as well as those young women in the harem.

So the emperor just sat in Ruyi's Changchun Palace for a while and then got up and left.

Ruyi watched the emperor’s hurried coming and going, and began to guess what the emperor would choose. However, no matter how entangled and reluctant the emperor was in front of her, she was afraid that in the end the emperor would have to agree to let Jingshuang and her husband divorce. . .

Otherwise, if the emperor really killed all the ministers who opposed him in a fit of rage, it would not be long before the emperor's position would be replaced. . .

"Master, it's getting cold outside, you should go inside..."

Seeing her master standing at the door, Suo Xin was worried that she might catch a cold, so she quickly handed a hand warmer she had prepared to Ruyi.

Ruyi looked at惢心 who was always busying around her. In this life, because of the knot between惢心 and Jiang Yubi,惢心 stayed by her side longer.

If possible, she hopes that惢心 and莲心 can stay by her side forever, and that Rong Pei can stay with Yongji all her life. Ruyi will be relieved that Yongji has someone as thoughtful as Rong Pei to serve him.

Because Jingsi is a girl, the outside forces pay less attention to her than Yongqi. However, I think in a few years, Jingsi will probably get married, and by that time, there will be fewer and fewer people staying by her side.

Ruyi sighed, turned around and went back to her room, no longer thinking about the annoying words the emperor had said to her when he came just now.

"Lianxin, Suoxin, both of you come here, come to my side."

Seeing the increasingly stable appearance of惢心 and莲心 today, Ruyi's rationality finally overcame her loneliness. She originally did not want to take the initiative to mention惢心 and莲心's marriage,

It’s because I felt lonely for too long in my previous life, so I’m somewhat afraid of loneliness in this life.

But seeing that惢心 had always been loyal to him, he didn't want to keep her confined in his Changchun Palace any longer.

Lianxin and Suoxin looked at each other. Although they didn't know why their master came to call them today, they thought it would not be a big deal. After all, if there was something urgent in the past, their master's tone of voice would not be like this.

"Lianxin, Suoxin, you have been serving me for many years, and I understand your loyalty. But this harem is not a place where ordinary people can stay for a long time. You are loyal to me, so I naturally hope that you can have a good home in the future."

Lian Xin's face turned pale when she heard this, as if she had thought of something terrible. She immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy from Ruyi above her.

"Master, Lianxin doesn't want to leave the palace to get married. Lianxin lost both her parents when she was young, and has been following her brother and sister-in-law to make a living. Her sister-in-law is strong and her brother is weak, so Lianxin tried every means to enter the palace, thinking of supporting herself. If she gets married in the future, Lianxin is afraid. Lianxin doesn't want to entrust the rest of her life to a man. Please help Lianxin, Master."

On the side,惢心 was unusually silent, as if she was struggling with something. Seeing this, Ruyi did not force Lianxin, who was still kneeling on the ground, and promised Lianxin that she could stay by her side in the future.

As for惢心, Ruyi asked Lianxin to go downstairs and rest early so that she could have some heart-to-heart talk with惢心 alone.

Come to think of it, I haven't had a heart-to-heart talk with惢心 for quite some time.

"master."

Suoxin pursed her lips nervously, not knowing what she should say. . . . . . .
