Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

Chapter 2: Get Back the "End of Family" Bracelet

The Queen Mother was slightly stunned when she heard this. This daughter-in-law was somewhat similar to herself when she was young.

Rong Yin now understands the current situation clearly. A big reason why she was so miserable in her previous life was that she treated the emperor as her husband. She wanted to be a good wife, a good daughter, and even more so, a good empress of the Qing Dynasty. Anyone would be tortured to death.

Now that she has a prominent family background and a noble position, she would never have any affection for the emperor who was so careless in choosing his queen. Moreover, the women in the harem don't seem to be very smart, and are much simpler than those she had to control in the harem at that time.

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

If she faced it simply with the mentality of a worker, Fu Cha Rongyin didn't believe that she would be bullied again in this life.

"Queen, are you so confident?"

Rong Yin frowned slightly, "The two pipa girls in the Southern Palace, Bai Ruiji and Yehenala Yihuan, one is young, beautiful and good at pipa, and the other admires Your Majesty very much and is full of talent. Although serving Your Majesty is also a good choice, I think that pipa girls are not worthy of being in a high-class place, and I am afraid that they will not be able to serve well. Yehenala is not a suitable candidate to enter the palace with such rumors."

The two people she remembered did not have a good end, and these two were also pitiful people in the harem, so she should let one go if she could.

The expression on the Queen Mother's face turned cold in an instant. How could the chess piece that she had hidden with all her might be revealed like this?

"What if I insist on letting them enter the palace to serve?"

"I will certainly not disobey the Empress Mother's order. In that case, I will not bother you any more. Empress Mother, please take care of yourself and have a good rest." Rong Yin paid her respects and then left.

Although she is tolerant and generous, it does not mean that she can tolerate everything. Moreover, she has been bullied once, so now she naturally has to protect all the honor and status that belong to her.

When all the concubines came to pay their respects to her the next day, Rong Yin felt overwhelmed again.

The palace costumes of the other concubines were all okay, except Qingying, who wore a dark purple cheongsam. The small flower on her head was also dark in color, which was very different from the noble concubine of that year. She looked unexpectedly... old-fashioned.

After the concubines paid their respects, they discovered the embroidery of broken branches and flowers on their bodies. Rongyin couldn't help but think of the mistake that happened when Yingluo came to deliver the clothes, and her mood suddenly improved.

"Do you think the clothes I'm wearing are nice, sisters?"

"Yes."

There was a chorus of responses from the audience, with some praising her clothes for their simplicity, elegance and grace.

Rong Yin curled her lips slightly, "I looked at the account book of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago and found that the clothes and jewelry expenses of the concubines in the harem are quite high. I am afraid that it will be a huge expense over time."

Before she could finish her words, Gao Xiyue pouted and complained, "Empress, we are all born into noble families, and it's not like we can't afford these fine materials now..."

He lowered his head in frustration when he was halfway through his words.

Rong Yin shook her head in amusement. She actually didn't hate Gao Xiyue. Compared to the arrogant and domineering Concubine Gao in her previous life, the girl in front of her looked more like a little girl. If she had a younger sister, she would probably have the same pampered personality.

She patiently explained, "I know that everyone is not short of this money, but as your majesty's concubine, I naturally have to relieve your majesty's worries. There are natural disasters of varying degrees in various places now, and many people are living a hard life. If we can save some of our expenses on food, clothing and living, it can also alleviate the pressure on the national treasury to a certain extent."

Gao Xiyue nodded in confusion.

"Besides, the economy I'm talking about doesn't mean reducing your food and clothing expenses. It means reducing unnecessary expenses while maintaining your status and appearance. This way, the people will also remember the kindness of you sisters."

Of course, she knew that frugality could not be a one-size-fits-all approach. As the empress, she had to set an example herself. As for the daily supplies of the princes and princesses in the palace, they must not be interrupted or saved. The rest depended on how the concubines were willing to cooperate.

After these words were spoken, the concubines no longer dared to say anything disapproving.

What Rongyin didn't expect was that Gao Xiyue was the first to stand up. She said resolutely, "I will unconditionally support all the decisions made by the Queen."

This was really a rare scene, Rong Yin nodded with satisfaction.

It seemed that no one noticed that she was no longer the original Fu Cha Langya, as if everything had been automatically corrected to Fu Cha Rongyin.

Suddenly, I thought of something. "If there is nothing else, sisters, please go away. Xiyue, please stay. I have something to tell you."

Although Gao Xiyue was a little confused, she still nodded obediently. After everyone had left, she carefully approached the queen and asked, "What instructions does the queen have?"

Like a puppy... Rong Yin stared at Gao Xiyue's face in a trance, and gently curled her lips, "Do you still remember the bracelets that I gave to you and Qingying when you first entered the palace?"

It's not too late now. Rongyin herself lost a child, so she doesn't want to make a fuss with them about the child.

After hearing this, Gao Xiyue happily raised her hand and showed the bracelet on her wrist, as if she was offering a treasure. "Empress, here is the bracelet you gave me. From the day you gave it to me until now, I have never dared to take it off."

What a silly boy.

"Give it back to me."

Gao Xiyue was stunned for a moment after hearing this, not knowing what she had done wrong. She knelt down in front of Rong Yin with a plop, "Empress..."

Rong Yin walked down from her seat and helped her up. "You did nothing wrong. It's just that I think that bracelet is too old-fashioned. I wanted you to be more calm, but now it seems that there is no need."

Gao Xiyue didn't understand what was going on and was still kneeling there, staring at Rong Yin in front of her in a daze.

"You have a pure and lively personality. It is great that you are able to be cautious and polite in the harem. I want to give you a new bracelet."

Rong Yin was very confident that she could dispel Gao Xiyue's suspicion with just a few words, but she found that Gao Xiyue had no doubts at all and became happy instantly after hearing these words.

"Thank you, Queen." She was so happy even before she saw what kind of bracelet the Queen was going to give her. If there was a tail behind her, it would probably have left a shadow by now.
