Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

"Mother, do you know? My elder sister found a woman with superb makeup skills from somewhere today. Her name is Siruo. She personally did my elder sister's makeup today. I heard that she covered up all the scars on her face and restored her appearance to about 50% of what it used to be. Even the emperor praised her highly.",,,

Jingsi had originally planned to go to Xiefang Palace today to see his sister Jingshuang, who was said to have recovered some of her appearance... Unfortunately, Jingshuang was not in the room when he went there, so Jingsi simply came to Changchun Palace to tell his mother about the rumors he had heard.

Ruyi glanced at Jingsi with appreciation. Although Jingsi got the news later than herself, he was still young after all, and it was not easy for him to get so much information.

But the identity of the palace maid was suspicious. When Ruyi learned that Jingshuang had found a woman from outside the palace, she secretly sent people to investigate. However, there was nothing suspicious about the woman's identity. She was only said to be an orphan whose parents died when she was young.

"Nothing, just concentrate on your studies during this period. You will be getting married next year, so you should prepare well. With your mother here, no one in the harem can plot against you. How is your relationship with the little prince recently?"

Jing Si pouted proudly, with a hint of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

She raised her head slightly, and then, with a happy smile on her face, she lightly slipped into Ruyi's arms.

Ruyi hugged Jingsi tenderly, feeling the warmth and intimacy brought by her small body.

Jingsi sighed softly. She snuggled tightly in Ruyi's arms, closed her eyes, immersed in Ruyi's arms, and felt the unique warmth from her mother.

"It's still the same. Who knows how sincere he is to me? As long as I can stay with my father and mother in the future, I will be satisfied. As for my husband, it doesn't matter who he is. For me, as long as I can stay with my mother and brother forever, I will be very happy."

Ruyi did not dwell on why Jingsi did not mention her imperial father. After all, she had done much more for Jingsi over the years than her imperial father had.

————,,,

These days, Jingshuang was quite loved and valued by her royal father because of her face that resembled her biological mother. Almost every day, the emperor would send someone to invite Jingshuang to the Yangxin Palace.

The servants in the harem were all shrewd people. Seeing this, they all began to curry favor with Jingshuang. Even Yonghuang, who originally ignored Jingshuang, began to take the initiative to approach his sister.

Although Jingshuang despised what her own brother had done, she was just a girl after all, and had no relatives in the harem. The only people she could rely on, besides her royal father, were her own brother.

..............................

It's just that the emperor has been busy with his memories of his loved ones recently, and has no time to come to the harem, so Changchun Palace has become a playground for the concubines for a while.

Gao Xiyue is a person who loves to have fun. The emperor has not come to the harem for several days. Gao Xiyue feels that such a good time should not be wasted, so she simply brings all her wealth to Changchun Palace to play cards and have fun.

As soon as Ruyi woke up today, she heard the hustle and bustle outside. It was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

"惢心, what's going on outside?"

"Master, it was the Imperial Concubine who brought the concubines to Changchun Palace to play cards and have fun. They were supposed to watch over you, but the Imperial Concubine waited for a long time and saw that you were deep in sleep, so she just started playing with the concubines first. Master, I will help you wash up."

Ruyi could hear Gao Xiyue's cheers from outside through the screen, and from time to time she could also hear Gao Xiyue's hoarse voice asking for money.

If the emperor came in and saw this, he would probably think that these women were happier playing cards than when they were in the emperor's favor.

"Queen's Empress!!"

When Gao Xiyue and the others saw Ruyi who had woken up, they were all as excited as if they had seen the God of Wealth. You know, in the harem, the one with the richest money would be the Empress.

Ruyi lowered her eyes to look at the beauties who were staring at her eagerly. She didn't go forward in the end. When she turned around, she saw Hailan hiding behind Gao Xiyue and watching.

Those eyes seemed to be shining when they saw playing cards, but Hailan never went up to play cards once from beginning to end.

Hai Lan's monthly salary was not low, but ever since Yong Qi was born, money had to be spent everywhere. Hai Lan always wanted to save some money from herself so that she could save more for Yong Qi in the future. After all, her family background was humble and could not be compared with the concubines in the harem.

So since he couldn't give Yongqi power, he wanted to leave more money for him.

Ruyi saw that although Hailan was sitting aside, her eyes were always focused on the card game on the table. Her eyes were round and she looked both angry and amused.

Ruyi sighed softly, then raised her right hand, tapped Hailan's shoulder, and encouraged her generously,

"Hai Lan, go play a few games. If you lose, it's my fault."

Hai Lan instantly perked up upon hearing that. She stared at Ruyi with her eyes wide open, like a lively rabbit. She looked so adorable.

Gao Xiyue was a money-grubber. When she heard this, she immediately waved to Hailan and said anxiously,

"Hai Lan, come quickly! Haha, today I must play a few games with you. I have never won any money when playing cards with the Queen. Today I will find another way!"

Gao Xiyue shook her shoulders excitedly, as if she had already seen herself winning the silver from the Queen's pocket.

…………

Grand Princess Mansion,

Jingshuang has become the object of daily attention in the eyes of the emperor because of her appearance restored by Siruo's craftsmanship. Jingshuang is even the one who sees the emperor most frequently in a month in the harem.

But I don’t know if it’s because I put on makeup too many times every day, so sometimes Jingshuang can even feel a dull pain in her body, especially her face.

So today, when Siruo picked up the pen and prepared to hit her face, Jingshuang subconsciously kicked the defenseless Siruo to the ground.

Siruo didn't react in time. She only felt the kick coming down, and even a little blood rushed into her throat. Siruo immediately fell to the ground in panic, begging for mercy.

"Princess, please spare my life. I am guilty. Please have mercy on me, Princess!"

Jingshuang raised her head arrogantly, and looked sideways at Siruo who was kneeling below, with a contemptuous smile on her lips. She seemed to enjoy this feeling of being high above, as if Siruo was an ant under her feet.

Siruo lowered her head, her body trembling slightly, not daring to look up and look directly at Jingshuang. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips were bloodless, and she looked very haggard and helpless.

When Jingshuang saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little proud.

"Hahaha, you look so embarrassed. That's all. I just felt itchy in my legs and feet, so I kicked you. Now I feel much better. But there is one thing you need to understand. You are just a dog by my side. If you have any ill intentions towards me, I will not let you go!"

When Jingshuang had laughed enough, she gently hooked Siruo's chin, which was still hooked on the ground, with her foot as if to give alms, and said,

"I am in a good mood now. You can get up and continue to do my makeup. Your skills have been very good these days. Even the emperor praised me. I will definitely reward you well in the future."

Jingshuang kept fiddling with her newly done nails, always feeling a little dissatisfied, so she naturally didn't notice the flash of hatred in Siruo's eyes who had stood up beside her.

Siruo bit her back teeth tightly, not letting her urge to vomit blood become a reality. The more painful the wound on her body, the lighter her hands moved.

Grooming is Siruo's forte. She skillfully picked up the comb and gently combed Jingshuang's long hair, then used her deft fingers to braid her hair into various exquisite buns.

She also picked out some beautiful hair accessories and carefully inlaid them on the bun, making the whole hairstyle look more gorgeous.

After some careful dressing up, Jingshuang, who originally had a dirty face, has been completely transformed and become a real beauty.

Jingshuang looked at herself in the bronze mirror with delicate features, and was very satisfied. The corners of her mouth lifted unconsciously, and her eyes were full of joy. She looked at Siruo with a much gentler look, which was completely different from the furious self just now.

When Jingshuang left the princess's mansion as usual and went into the palace to accompany her royal father, Siruo felt that she had returned to her original self.

Siruo rubbed her face which was a little stiff from trying so hard to please, touched her chest which was still aching, and moved back to her room step by step.

Although I get kicked a few times every day, I have almost gotten used to it over time.

Originally, in the beginning, he pretended to get close to the eldest princess Jingshuang, hoping to take advantage of the hatred between Jingshuang and the Queen to become allies in the future. But now, Siruo felt that his idea was terribly stupid.

Although Princess Jingshuang is favored now, she can see that such favor will not last long. After all, who would favor someone who is as stupid as a pig?

No one knows how she got to this point. She lost both her parents when she was very young. Although her grandfather's family sometimes helped her, she was a weak woman and had suffered a lot of bullying since she was a child.

He had lived to this age with great difficulty, and accidentally learned from his aunt that his mother was framed by the current queen, which led to the death of his mother and father.

I hate myself!

If I didn't know the real cause of my mother's death at the beginning, I might have been able to accept my own suffering calmly.

It's just that she could have enjoyed the happiness of being loved by her parents, but all of this was ruined by the current Queen.

I have also seen the Queen's only biological son. He is a well-mannered and handsome boy. It seems that he has been well cared for since childhood. He is completely different from me.

Over the years, although the Queen Mother is no longer as favored as she was when she was young, she has always been trusted and respected by the Emperor. Even the Queen Mother's only legitimate son has been named the Crown Prince by the Emperor.

The Queen is living such a happy life now, which makes Siruo, as a woman, a little envious. But at the same time, Siruo still hates her because her mother was the Queen's maid who came with her as a dowry. She heard that her mother grew up with the Queen.

But in the end, his mother was still betrothed to someone else by the Queen, which caused her to die with hatred in her heart.

I heard that the Queen now values ​​the two maids around her very much, which makes me feel extremely ironic. If she was really a good master, she would not have casually sent away the maids who had been with her for many years.

………………

After Yongqi got married, he originally sent people out to look for the woman. But strangely enough, there was no news of the woman since he got married, as if she had completely disappeared from this world.

"Siruo, where are you?"

..............................

On that day, Ruyi was in the Imperial Household Department with Jingsi, selecting red silk for their wedding, when they happened to see Li Yu sending someone to the Imperial Household Department to collect the reward to be sent to Xiefang Palace and the Grand Princess's Mansion.

Ruyi looked at the boxes of things being carried out calmly, and in her heart she felt that she had underestimated the emperor's old feelings for Fu Cha Zhuying.

But now they are all dead. Even if the emperor feels sentimental, some people will never come back.

"Empress, the Emperor mentioned the Second Princess' marriage today. Later this afternoon, I will take the Emperor's gift to Changchun Palace to pay my respects to the Empress and the Second Princess."

What Li Yu said made sense and Ruyi nodded silently, knowing in her heart that Li Yu must have something to say to her later.

Today, Yonghuang enjoys great favor in front of his royal father because of his favored sister. Those fence-sitters in the court are taking a wait-and-see attitude, not knowing to whom the emperor will pass on the throne in the end.

Li Yu came to Changchun Palace with the reward during dinner. As soon as he entered the room, Li Yu looked around carefully. When he was sure that there was no one wrong, he spoke,

"Empress, the Emperor has been very fond of the eldest princess recently because of her face that resembles the young Imperial Concubine Zhemin. But recently, whenever I get close to the eldest princess, I always feel that there is something strange about her face, as if there is a gap somewhere, but when I look at it again, it is gone!"
