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

In July, because the legitimate son Yongcong was turning 100 days old and Concubine Jia was about to give birth to twins in almost 100 days, the Ministry of Rites submitted a petition to invite Master Anji of Tibetan Buddhism to the palace to pray for the Qing Dynasty.

The Emperor wanted to find someone to preside over the prayer in Anhua Hall, but looking at the palace, the Empress had just given birth, Concubine Chun was taking care of the Sixth Prince, Concubine Jia was pregnant, Concubine Ling was too young, so it was better to forget about Concubine Xian.

After much calculation, this task finally fell to Hailan.

When Ruyi heard that Master Anji had entered the palace, she originally thought that the task of receiving the master would definitely fall on her shoulders.

She would wait in the Yikun Palace, waiting for the emperor to come and ask her to take charge of the situation. By then, everyone in the palace would know the emperor's trust in her and her unshakable position.

When she heard that Hai Lan was the host, her face changed again and again.

She hid the jealousy on her face and said lightly: "In this case, let Concubine Yu come."

Hailan was an embroiderer by birth, so how could she do this job well? She had to go to Baohua Palace all the time to help Hailan receive guests.

If Hai Lan did anything wrong, the emperor would think of her.

Ruyi brought all the people from Yikun Palace to the palace road to welcome Master Anji into the palace. On both sides of the long street, there were guards on duty.

The heat wave rolled over, and under the scorching sun, only a dozen people from the Yikun Palace were wiping their sweat foolishly, accompanying their master and waiting for the master's arrival.

Under the guidance of Concubine Jia, Concubine Yu had already brought Master Anji to meet the Emperor, and then directly invited him from the Qianqing Palace to the Anhua Hall.

Concubine Jia said that entering the palace to pray for blessings is a matter of sincerity, and if there is a really grand welcome, it will be seen as seeking fame and reputation.

Hai Lan thought it made sense. She focused on the layout of Anhua Hall and the preparation of prayer items, and received praise from the Emperor and the Empress.

Ruyi and her men waited on the palace road from noon until sunset. She was tanned a lot, but she still didn't wait for Master Anji.

Later, a young eunuch who was passing by told her that Master Anji had already settled down in Anhua Palace, and that the emperor would bring all the concubines to burn incense and pray for blessings tomorrow.

In Qixiang Palace, Jin Yuyan learned about what Concubine Xian had done and laughed and called her stupid.

Does Ruyi really think that Fucha Langya is like her and can treat the palace like a vegetable market?

Speaking of Master Anji, Jin Yuyan recalled the incident with the seven-treasure bracelet in her previous life. She was so stupid at that time that she set up a plan full of loopholes. Of course, Ruyi's breaking of the plan was even more inexplicable.

In this life, she decided to go with the flow and let Ruyi’s own greed and stupidity come to the surface.

In the Baohua Palace, the emperor offered a stick of incense and stood up first, followed by the concubines behind him.

Not many people came today, only Concubine Chun, Concubine Ling, Concubine Shu, Noble Lady Mei, etc.

Ruyi lost her balance and almost fell down. Master Anji, dressed in white, stepped forward and supported Ruyi.

Ruyi felt the cool temperature of the master's touch and forgot to let go for a moment. This scene fell into the emperor's eyes, and the emperor's face changed instantly.

The emperor looked at Master Anji with cold eyes, then quickly looked away and looked at Ruyi.

"Princess Xian, if you are not feeling well, please do not come to Baohua Palace, so as not to offend the gods. As for Master Anji, the concubines will naturally have servants to help them. You are the one I invited to chant sutras, so don't forget your duty."

After saying this, he left Baohua Hall without looking back. Three days later, he would go to Taiji Hall to attend Yongcong's hundred-day ceremony and report to the heaven, earth and ancestors with the empress, so he would meet with people from the Ministry of Rites today to discuss matters concerning the ceremony.

Concubine Chun, Concubine Shu and others also followed, not wanting to stay in Baohua Palace any longer. Concubine Shu clearly felt that something was wrong with Master Anji.

Ruyi felt warm in her heart. The emperor also knew that she had been under house arrest for a long time and was in poor health, so she had to come to Baohua Palace to pray for blessings.

She looked at Master Anji and bowed her head to express her gratitude, "Master, thank you for supporting me just now."

Ruyi's smile was very gentle. Today the emperor expressed his love for her, and the extraordinary Master Anji personally protected her.

This made her believe even more that she was different.

Master Anji had a compassionate look on his face. He put his hands together and bowed. "You are too polite, Concubine Xian. I see that you have a heart of Buddha. Our meeting today is fate. If you are free, you can often come to Baohua Hall to chant sutras and pray for blessings."

Ruyi nodded, held Rong Pei and agreed with a smile.

"It's strange to say that I have never met the master before, but we felt like old friends the moment we met. When I talk to the master, I always feel like a breeze is blowing on my face and I feel enlightened."

The two looked at each other and smiled again.

Hai Lan was watching from the sidelines until her eyes almost went blind. A concubine and a master, in Baohua Palace! They were flirting with each other, sending each other secret glances. Who was seducing whom?

Ruyi wouldn't want to harm her again, would she? Last time she used the Yaohuang Peony sachet to report to the emperor. Is she going to get involved this time and mess up the blessing?

If this scene was seen by others, Hailan didn't dare to think...

Hai Lan took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Sister Xianpin, the master still needs to go to the Buddha to consecrate the court beads. The concubines pray for blessings every morning and evening, so please step aside now."

Ruyi looked unhappy. As expected, she was right in her guess that Hailan was petty and not presentable.

But what is this consecration of the imperial beads? Why doesn't she know about it?

Ruyi held Rongpei's hand and walked out of Baohua Palace. The sun was shining brightly at this time, and she was sweating profusely. Ruyi turned around and said to Rongpei:

"Rong Pei, don't worry about me for now. Go to Baohua Temple and ask what's going on with the court beads that are enshrined there."

All Ruyi was thinking about in her mind was the string of court beads that Hai Lan had mentioned. The grand ceremony in Taiji Hall would soon be held, and everyone would have to wear court robes and court beads.

In the past, she was a concubine, so her court beads could be made of beeswax with bright yellow ribbons. Now that she has been framed and become a concubine, the court beads must naturally be downgraded and can only be made of golden yellow ribbons.

All the concubines in the harem must be present at the ceremony, so she cannot lose her dignity.

Rong Pei followed her master's instructions and hurried to Anhua Palace. Along the way, she thought of many things.

In the Baohua Hall, Hai Lan had someone present several sets of court beads to the master for consecration. Two of the beads were particularly different.

These two strings of court beads are each made of 108 crystal clear, round and full oriental pearls, and are embellished with turquoise Buddha heads with red coral beads. The most exquisite thing is that a dragon-patterned cat's eye stone is embedded on the back of the two strings of court beads.

These two strings of court beads are extremely gorgeous, and they shine so brightly on the tray that one can't take their eyes away.

It is hard to imagine how gorgeous and dazzling these court beads would be when paired with court robes during grand ceremonies.

These were new court beads that the Emperor had specially ordered the Imperial Household Department to make for him and the Empress. He would have the Empress wear them himself before the grand ceremony and they would share the same court beads to show that the Emperor and Empress shared a common happiness.

Master Anji took the court beads, placed them before the Buddha, and knelt down to chant sutras and consecrate them.

All of this fell into Rong Pei's eyes. She took note of Concubine Yu's words and went back to report to her master.
