Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

It was not until spring that the wound on Ruyi's arm gradually healed after repeated festering and reddening.

As the scab fell off, a long dark brown scar was left on Ruyi's right arm.

Along with it comes the aftereffects of occasional dull itching and pain.

Ruyi felt that the pain was a small matter, but leaving scars and losing dignity were big matters.

She remembered the green plum powder that the emperor made for her when she just came out of the cold palace.

It was specially developed by the Emperor so that he could keep her youthful appearance. I think it would also be effective in removing scars.

Ruyi searched through boxes and cabinets for a long time and finally found the small jar that was there before.

She opened it with great expectations, only to see that there were only a bunch of light yellow lumps in the green porcelain jar. She thought it was because of the dark and humid environment for many years that moisture had entered the jar.

Ruyi threw the jar in disappointment, and the green thing rolled away.

She thought, maybe she could buy some materials and make it herself?

"Qiu Wen, has the plum blossom in the basin under the corridor bloomed this year?"

Qiu Wen stuck her head out and looked outside, only to see a brown dead branch standing in the brown flowerpot. Not only was it not blooming, its bark was almost falling off.

Qiu Wen shook her head.

Ruyi sighed in disappointment. The green plum that the emperor gave her had withered, and the love between her and the emperor was about to be blown away by the wind.

Ruyi refused to give up. She thought that the spices should be the ones that played a role in the green plum powder. With those spices, maybe she could make it.

She waved to Qiu Wen and said, "Qiu Wen, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for some myrrh, white sandalwood, borneol, and pearl powder."

After saying that, Ruyi raised her hands and put on her bronze armor one by one with an elegant posture.

Qiu Wen stretched out her hand and stared with round eyes: "Master, where is the money?"

Ruyi blinked rapidly as if she had heard something unbelievable:

"Money? The Ministry of Internal Affairs needs money to take things?"

Qiu Wen was shocked by her master's ignorance and shamelessness. She explained word by word:

"Master, if you want something that is included in the quota, it's free, but the spices you mentioned are not included in the quota, so you have to pay someone to buy them from outside the palace!"

Ruyi paused with her armored hand. She had never heard of such a reasoning before. How could her things be bought with silver? It was so vulgar.

Ruyi said calmly: "In that case, there is no need to buy it. I will go to the emperor and he will reward it to me."

As she spoke, Ruyi lifted her skirt and stood up, asking Qiuwen to follow her quickly.

Ruyi raised her head, twisted her body, and came to the Qianqing Palace with a tap.

In the Qianqing Palace, the three eunuchs and Aunt Yuhu were not there. Only the young eunuch at the door was sweeping the floor.

After asking, Ruyi found out that the emperor had gone to Changyin Pavilion to listen to a play and had just left for a while.

Ruyi smiled shyly. As expected, she hadn't seen the emperor for so long that the emperor couldn't help himself.

He must have gone to Changyin Pavilion to listen to the Wall Horse Play, which was their love play.

In this way, Ruyi staggered to the outside of Changyin Pavilion again.

The pearl curtain at the door hung down quietly, and from inside came the sound of chanting, sometimes high and sometimes low, like the tinkling of pearls and jade falling on a jade plate, or like the patter of spring breeze turning into gentle rain.

Qiuwen opened the door curtain, and Ruyi leaned her head out with a slight smile on her face, as if the beauty was a flower in the clouds.

When Ruyi caught a glimpse of Jin Yuyan, who was standing beside the emperor in a dark red dress with maple leaves embroidered with gold thread, her face suddenly stiffened.

Seeing that the emperor didn't even look at this side and was only talking to Jin Yuyan, Ruyi felt secretly unhappy.

She lifted her skirt and came to the emperor's side, raised her hips and bowed gracefully:

"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."

Then, seeing Jin Yuyan staring at her intently, she asked perfunctorily, "How are you, Concubine Jia?"

Ruyi stood up, moved towards the emperor in small steps, and sat down on the soft stool beside her.

The emperor was eating the peeled longan handed to him by Jin Yuyan, and it tasted sweet.

Hearing Ruyi's hoarse but forced coy voice, the emperor frowned and asked:

"Lady Xian, why don't you stay in your Yikun Palace? Why did you come here?"

When Ruyi heard the emperor's concern for her, she was thinking that she should ignore the emperor and let him know that he had lost her passionate love.

She said coldly: "Your Majesty, I had some free time today, so I cleaned up the things in the palace, and I accidentally saw the green plum powder jar that Your Majesty gave me back then. Your Majesty, do you remember that you haven't given me green plum powder for a long time?"

Ruyi looked at the emperor with disappointment, trying to condemn his indecision and make him feel guilty.

Unexpectedly, the emperor just glanced at Ruyi and spat out a longan seed.

"My Lady Xian, I gave you the Green Plum Powder to restore your beauty. But when you used it, I found that it had no effect at all. I thought it was because you were old and no matter how many things you used, it didn't work, so I stopped using it naturally."

Ruyi's eyes widened. The emperor's words were like fine needles, piercing her heart. She said without thinking:

"Your Majesty and I grew up together. If your majesty is getting older, won't your majesty also be getting older day by day?"

Jin Yuyan smiled slightly:

"Hey, Concubine Xian, what are you talking about? The emperor is in his prime, strong and healthy. How can he look old?"

The emperor also gave Ruyi a disdainful look: "I see that Concubine Xian can't say anything nice. Why do I remember that I rarely saw you when I was a child in the Old Summer Palace?"

After saying this, the emperor felt a little dizzy again. Every time he thought of the things that happened when he was young, he couldn't help but feel dizzy and had a headache, which made him very upset.

Seeing that the emperor was feeling uncomfortable, Jin Yuyan reached out to support him.

Ruyi's eyes were slightly red, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that when I first met you, I listened to the song "On the Wall Horse". Not long after that, you were on the city wall and said that you wanted me to be with you."

Jin Yuyan turned around and rolled her eyes at Ruyi. She had wanted to ask for a long time, but this time she couldn't help herself:

"Lady Xian also said that the emperor told you that he wanted to be together not long after he met you, which shows that you are not young anymore. How can you say that you grew up together?"

The emperor looked at Concubine Jia with bright eyes. Jin Yuyan was so smart and asked a good question.

The Empress Dowager and Ulanara have never gotten along, so how could he grow up with Ulanara's daughter?

Ruyi looked at Jin Yuyan with disdain. What did she, a tribute girl from the northern country, know? What mattered was not the length of her relationship with the emperor, but the depth.

She stared at the emperor with a sad look, and continued to try to make the emperor feel guilty and distressed:

"Your Majesty, the relationship between us, Concubine Jia is from the Yu family, she is not good at writing, so naturally she does not understand. Back then, you and I looked at each other from afar on the wall, and I was heartbroken when I saw you. Even though you and I are estranged today, that was also our best past."

Jin Yuyan was immediately ignited by Ruyi's words, and she said loudly:

"Lady Xian, do you think you can discuss this palace? You are not good at writing. What do you mean by looking at each other from afar on the wall and on horseback? Did you meet the emperor on horseback when you were sitting on the wall? Prince Xun said that this was a play to admonish women to respect themselves. How come you turned it into a love at first sight? It really gives me goose bumps!"

When the emperor heard Concubine Jia say a long string of words, he looked like a kitten with its fur standing on end. He reached out and held Concubine Jia's hand, signaling her not to be angry.

But when I think about it, I already have six or seven grandchildren, and I still have to listen to Ruyi muttering about these childish things all day long. It really makes me upset!

Just then, on the stage, as the song ended, the emperor suddenly came up with an idea...
