Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

"It's just that recently, whenever I get close to the princess, I always feel that there's something strange about her face, as if there's a gap somewhere, but when I look at it again, it's gone!"

Ruyi followed Li Yu's words and thought carefully in her mind about the scene when she met Jingshuang in the palace in recent days.

Speaking of which, I didn't smell any strange smell on Jingshuang, but her face became more and more beautiful. Sometimes, even Ruyi was a little dazed, wondering whether the person standing in front of her was the young Fucha Langya.

I have this feeling myself, let alone the emperor who still has feelings for Fu Cha Zhu Ying.

Ruyi always felt that there was something wrong with the woman with makeup skills who suddenly broke into Jingshuang's world. She just didn't know who this woman came to the palace for.

Thinking about it, it reminded me of an extremely old name - A Ruo.

----

On this day, Siruo was sent by Jingshuang to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the rouge and powder that the emperor had recently awarded her. But halfway through the journey, she suddenly heard a scream from behind her.

"Siruo?"

When Siruo heard the voice for the first time, she felt that it looked familiar. When she turned around and met the gaze of the man behind her who was looking at her in astonishment, Siruo subconsciously took a step back.

Yongqi came to the palace today at the behest of his mother, to help her look at the things to pay attention to regarding his younger sister's marriage. However, he did not expect that as soon as he entered the harem, he seemed to see a particularly familiar figure.

I subconsciously chased after her and shouted without any hope, but I didn't expect that when the woman turned around, I saw a very familiar face.

That was the woman he had been dreaming about these days.

But just when he was about to move forward to catch up with Siruo, Siruo turned around and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.

Yongqi originally wanted to catch up, but when he saw the palace maids and eunuchs walking around, Yongqi's jogging pace finally came to a slow stop.

Yongqi is now very clear about his position in the hearts of his father and mother. He heard that in the previous dynasty, there was a prince in his grandfather's harem who chased after his grandfather's concubines without regard for his dignity. If he were to chase after Siruo in the harem now,

Although it would allow him to get what he wanted, it would only cause trouble to his mother in the end. Thinking of this, Yongqi straightened his sleeves and then walked towards Changchun Palace as if nothing had happened.

As for Siruo, she is in the palace now. Even if I don't chase her, I can just ask her and I will naturally know which palace she is working in.

What I don't understand is how a woman who was said to be helpless outside the palace could have entered the harem.

Originally, he simply thought that the woman had a miserable life and that she was a cause for pity, but now he began to wonder if all this was just a coincidence. Could it be that her enemies behind him had deliberately arranged for her to be by his side?

After all, such a helpless and pitiful woman is too easy to arouse the sympathy and attention of others, but while she successfully attracts her own attention, she disappears.

The next time they met was in the harem, which was such a coincidence.

When this thought came to his mind, Yongqi quickened his pace, thinking of going to Changchun Palace to discuss it with his mother.

Yongqi couldn't help but feel deeply moved when he recalled his experiences from childhood to adulthood.

His mother has always been caring and supportive of him.

Even his younger brother, who had always been at odds with him since childhood, would sometimes sincerely praise him as an excellent crown prince. However, he had never mentioned the person who had been hidden deep in his heart to his mother.

Whenever he thought of this, Yongqi felt a little guilty and uneasy.

Changchun Palace

"Mother! If Jingsi's marriage is a headache for you, why not leave it to me? Although I am a man, I also want to do something for my sister."

As soon as Yongqi entered the room, he saw his mother holding a long book and writing something stroke by stroke. Ling Xueyu, who was always like an invisible person in the harem, was guarding his mother at this time.

Yongqi had been close to the Empress Dowager of the Cining Palace since he was a child, so he naturally knew that Ling Xueyu was secretly sent to the palace by his own royal mother to help his mother.

"Your son pays respects to Madam Ling."

"Thank you, eldest brother."

Today, Ruyi was discussing with Ling Xueyu whether there was a kind of rouge and powder in the world that could cover a person's original scars and make one's appearance more beautiful.

However, the two of them discussed with each other for nearly an incense stick of time, but they still couldn't come to a conclusion. It just so happened that Yongji came, and Ruyi also had some things she wanted to ask her son. After all, she hadn't found out the background of the maid Siruo who suddenly appeared beside Jingshuang.

However, by chance, he found out that Siruo seemed to have had contact with Yongqi for a period of time when she was outside the palace.

"Empress, since the eldest prince is here, I will go back first. There are still many ancient books in my room. It's a good opportunity for me to go back and check them carefully to see if there is any introduction to this kind of rouge and powder in those books."

Ling Xueyu was a person of decisive character, and now her heart and eyes were completely focused on what the unknown ointment that could make people's faces radiant was made of. Without waiting for Ruyi to say anything, Ling Xueyu ran away in three steps.

Ling Xueyu doesn't like men, so naturally she looks down on the emperor in the harem. If there is one thing that Ling Xueyu is interested in, it is all kinds of strange herbal ointments.

If there was something Ling Xueyu didn't know, she would work day and night to find out what the ointment was.

However, Ruyi is not in a hurry to find out what ingredients the ointment is made of. The most important thing now is to find out what the relationship between Yongji and the palace maid named Siruo is.

Yongqi looked up at his mother's serious eyes and felt a little flustered for some reason. He didn't know what was going on with him. When he looked into his mother's eyes, he felt as if his mother already knew everything he had hidden from her.

Yongqi had a special habit since he was a child. Whenever he felt nervous, his eyes would always look around unconsciously. He would look to the left, to the right, up, or down, but he would never look anyone in the eye.

However, since Yongqi got married, Ruyi has not seen Yongqi's expression and behavior like when he was a child for a long time.

Originally, Ruyi was still a little angry in her heart, but when she saw her child like this, she couldn't help laughing out loud.

I silently said to myself, Yongji is my own son, my own son, I cannot be angry, I cannot be angry.

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and comforted herself that everything was almost ready. Ruyi's mood also improved a lot.

She looked at Yongji with a smile on her face, her eyes showing kindness and tenderness. Then, she gently raised her hand and waved to Yongji, signaling him to come and sit.

"Yongji, please sit closer to me. I have something to ask you. Recently, a new maidservant has come to Jingshuang's side. She is very favored. Jingshuang's face has regained some of its beauty under the maidservant's hands. I believe you also know this, but I heard that the maidservant had contact with you when she was outside the palace. I have seen a lot of things, so I have naturally considered more than you. So, the relationship between you and the maidservant... huh?"

Ruyi still decided to save some face for her son. After all, saying some things herself and letting Yongqi say them proactively showed completely different attitudes.

Moreover, Ruyi recently followed her own guess to investigate Siruo's life experience. Although she did not find out anything clear, she would rather miss it than let it go. However, if the maid had a clean family background and was willing to marry into Yongji's palace, she, as her mother, would naturally not persecute her for no reason.

Yongqi couldn't help but swallow hard, knowing that his mother had finally found out about the incident.

Now that things have come to this, it is a good opportunity for me to confess. After all, when I came here today, I was prepared to talk to my mother about the lover whom I have been hiding from her.

"Mother, it's Yongji's fault. Yongji once saved a woman in the countryside outside the palace. The woman was weak and lonely with no one to rely on. I felt sorry for her and gave her a place to live. After getting along for a long time, I began to have some different feelings for her. But I originally planned to tell you after I got married and my wife got pregnant. But later, there was no news about Siruo, and I didn't know where she went. I just ran into her in the harem and was about to come to Changchun Palace to confess to you."

In the end, Yongqi felt that he was becoming less and less confident, and was afraid that his mother would get angry and throw him out of Changchun Palace.

Although she had never been abandoned, when she was a child, her mother and her father had a very good relationship, so she was fortunate enough to see her father being driven out of Changchun Palace by her mother several times.

Ruyi lowered her eyes and listened to her son talking about his and Siruo's first encounter.

It does sound beautiful, but if you think about Yongqi's identity, Ruyi feels it is a bit deliberate.

"The maid named Siruo is now serving Jingshuang. I heard that she is very favored. If she was really an orphan, she would not have taken the initiative to enter the palace and encouraged Jingshuang to compete for favor in front of your royal father."

Because his mother was now telling him about what Siruo had done in the palace, Yongqi suddenly remembered the first time he met Siruo and she explained to him why he was so lonely.

"Mother, I have also investigated Siruo's background, but I couldn't find out the identities of her mother and father. It's just that Yongqi thought Siruo was an orphan after all, and had taken care of herself since she was young. It was normal that he couldn't find out because it was a long time ago. I heard from Siruo that her mother was originally a girl from an honest family. Later, when she was serving her master, she was betrothed to someone else by her master. This caused her mother to die of depression at a young age. As for her father, she never mentioned him on her own initiative. I just thought that she was an orphan. Although the environment was difficult, she never gave up on her own initiative. Instead, she faced the difficulties head-on. At first, I admired her a little, and later I was really moved."

Yongqi's ears turned red. Even today, when he thought of Siruo being by his side, he still felt a little excited. He said so much because he hoped that when his mother found out that Siruo's background was clean, she would promise to let Siruo enter her palace.

But some things were destined to make Yongqi unable to fulfill his wishes.

After listening to Yongqi's story about Siruo's mother's experience, Ruyi was 70% convinced that this maid Siruo probably came to the palace just for her.

She still remembered that when A Ruo left, it seemed that she left behind a daughter. However, she heard from her mother and others that the child was taken back by Gui Duo, so she had no idea how she ended up growing up alone.

Looking at Yongji's serious expression, Ruyi knew that although Yongji was the emperor's son, he was raised by her personally.

Judging from Yongqi's current state, there is a high probability that he has some feelings for Siruo. Unfortunately, this is the first time his son has fallen in love, so it is likely to come to an abrupt end.

Ruyi sighed deeply, frowned as she looked at Yongji, who was nervously waiting for her mother's response, and said softly,

"There is one thing that I want you to know now. When I entered your father's palace, there was a personal maidservant named A Ruo. She grew up with me and we were very close. But later, I found out that she had bad intentions and even wanted to step on my body to climb onto your father's bed. Because of our years of friendship, I naturally didn't kill her. I just found her a little eunuch who was obedient and law-abiding. The reason why he was a eunuch was because I was still a little dissatisfied with her. But later, she was not satisfied with the status quo, so she hooked up with someone else and gave birth to a daughter."

Ruyi looked at the smile frozen on Yongqi's face, sighed and continued,

"Does it sound familiar? Although my mother is not sure now, she has found some clues. Yongji, there are some things you need to think carefully about. If she wants to kill your mother and avenge her mother in the future, what will you do then? Of course, if her identity is clean, when your wife safely gives birth to the prince's legitimate son, my mother will naturally let her in."
