Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

"You are too kind, Queen Mother. This was made by Concubine Hai. The Queen is very frugal, and Concubine Hai was reluctant to throw away the colorful satin that was stained by snow.

She discussed with me and tailored a green plum pattern dress. It would be my blessing to make the Queen Mother smile.

Ruyi quietly tried to please Hailan, which really aroused the empress dowager's curiosity.

"Lady Hai? I remember she was born as an embroiderer. She looked timid on weekdays, but I didn't expect her to be so clever." The Queen Mother walked to the couch and sat down. "Ruyi, you sit down too."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Ruyi sat obediently on the couch, sipping tea.

"There aren't many flowers that bloom in winter. Green plum blossoms are hard to come by, but the red plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are in great shape.

But no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they are not as precious as the golden cups and silver stands. Flowers that are both beautiful and dangerous are the most charming. Ruyi, don’t you think so? "The Queen Mother said meaningfully.

Ruyi smiled, her eyes were open, "My family is poor, and my shop occasionally does some small business to supplement the expenses.

This time, we were able to successfully sell such rare daffodils and earn a lot of money, all thanks to the Queen Mother’s help.”

That's right, this time the golden cup and silver table was not found by Gao Xiyue and deliberately given to Bai Ruiji. Instead, Ruyi asked her mother's family to find this flower, and then asked someone to sell it to the Gao family at a high price.

Just as the Queen Mother said, there are not many flowers in winter, and daffodils have the effect of calming the mind and nourishing the body and mind.

When the Gao family got the flower, they naturally couldn't wait to present it to Gao Xiyue.

But Gao Xiyue likes peacocks. Peacocks are jealous and will compete with beautiful flowers when they see them. If they can't compare, they will get angry and go on a hunger strike.

Therefore, there are never any flowers in Gao Xiyue’s Xianfu Palace.

So the golden cups and silver tables were sent to the Yonghe Palace.

Ruyi had long known that Bai Ruiji was the Queen Mother's person, so she took the initiative to surrender to the Queen Mother.

Bai Ruiji was also a ruthless person. After receiving instructions from the Queen Mother, she applied narcissus pollen on her face without saying a word.

Although she lost her beauty, Bai Ruiji won the emperor's pity and successfully disrupted the peace in the harem.

And Ruyi also successfully made the emperor dissatisfied with Fucha Langya's ability to lead the harem, and Gao Xiyue was demoted.

Killing three birds with one stone, the Empress Dowager and Ruyi smiled at each other.

"In my lifetime in the palace, I have seen people fighting for power, profit, and favor. I have only seen one person like you who is only fighting for the emperor's true love."

The Queen Mother took the white lotus leaf tea lid and gently pushed aside the tea leaves. The lid collided with the teacup, making a crisp sound.

Ruyi understood a little, "The Queen Mother is talking about Imperial Noble Consort Dunsu?"

"That's right. Originally, I hated that person very much. But after so long, when I passed by Yikun Palace again and thought of her, I just felt pity for her.

"I wish to win the heart of one person and stay together till old age. In this palace, this is just nonsense. Ruyi, do you understand?" The Queen Mother reminded Ruyi again.

Ruyi did not do these things to win the emperor's heart, she just wanted to take revenge on Fucha Langya and Gao Xiyue.

But since the Queen Mother misunderstood, Ruyi didn't want to explain too much.

As for her rebirth, Ruyi never told anyone about it. Some secrets are better kept secret.

In this palace, when it comes to controlling people’s hearts and seeing through human nature, the Queen Mother is the best.

But if Ruyi can deceive the Queen Mother with the word "sincerity", then she can also deceive others. Sometimes, pretending to be in love, pretending to have some weaknesses, pretending to be manipulated by others, can make things easier.

Seeing that Ruyi was smiling but not saying anything, the Queen Mother was not angry either. She continued to talk to herself, "Yikun Palace is a good place. It is much closer to the Emperor's Palace of Mental Cultivation. Since you and the Emperor have a similar sentiment, I will give you a chance to move to another palace, okay?"

Ruyi still maintained a proper smile, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness.

But I think that if love lasts for a long time, it doesn’t matter if we are together day and night. Although the Yikun Palace is close, I am closer to the emperor. I don’t want to embarrass the empress dowager and the emperor. "

The situation in the harem is turbulent now, and Ruyi tries her best not to put herself in the spotlight.

Hailan had not grown up yet, and Ruyi was worried about leaving her alone in the Yanxi Palace, so she rejected the Queen Mother's proposal.

The queen mother's expression changed slightly, and then she sneered, "Okay, then I will continue to watch and see how long your love for the emperor can last."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Ruyi quickly knelt down and said sincerely, "It is because of the Queen Mother's love that I have the honor to enter the palace. I will never forget this.

The Queen did things as she pleased, and Mei often felt resentful, and so did the other concubines.

As the only concubine under the Queen, I beg the Queen Mother to seek justice for the sisters in the harem."

Ruyi put her hands on the ground, showing her utmost submission. But no one could see the coldness in her eyes.

She knew that the Queen Mother did all these things just to fight for power and profit.

The current emperor is not the empress dowager’s biological son. She also has an unmarried princess named Hengti.

If the Queen Mother has no power, how can she protect herself and the people she wants to protect?

Just look at how Mei Changzai deliberately disturbed the harem this time and it is clear that the empress dowager wanted the emperor to see Fu Cha Langya's incompetence, and then pave the way for herself to preside over the harem and demonstrate her status.

But the Queen Mother could not say these words, so Ruyi said them on her behalf to show her loyalty and sincerity.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the Queen Mother's expression eased a lot.

"The ground is cold, you should get up. It will be the first day of the new year in a few days. It is not suitable to move in the new year, and I will not force you.

If you are filial to me, I will naturally love you more. Do you understand?"

Ruyi knew that this was the Queen Mother extending an olive branch to her.

Ruyi's maternal family, the Ulanara clan, had long been in decline, and now that they could get close to the Empress Dowager Nianhulu, they were naturally not unwilling to do so.

"Thank you, Queen Mother." This time, Ruyi's smile finally reached her eyes.

After leaving the Cining Palace, the warm winter sun shone, bringing some warmth to Ruyi's cold eyes.

"My dear, I was very confused by your help to Concubine Mei before. Now I understand.

My master has good intentions and has endured humiliation and hardship. He should first show his filial piety to Empress Xian. She will understand in the underworld."惢心 said softly.

The death of her aunt has always been a thorn in Ruyi's heart.

It's just that Ruyi has no power and influence now, so she can only hide her edge for now. But one day, she will do justice for her aunt.

"惢心, do you think I'm helping Concubine Mei?" A hint of contempt appeared at the corner of Ruyi's mouth.

"I have worked so hard to find that golden cup and silver table. It is stunningly beautiful, but what is even more valuable is its extraordinary toxicity.

If she rashly uses this flower, the scar on her face will not heal in a year. Will the emperor still remember her after a year has passed?"

Suo Xin was a little confused, "Master, don't you like Mei Changping?"

Ruyi recalled how Mei often whipped her in her previous life, and sneered, "It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. As long as it can bring benefits, it can be used."

惢心 still didn't quite understand, but Ruyi had already walked away.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the new year. A'ruo wore a brand new and eye-catching ivory-colored chiffon cotton gown and a pink flower of the same color on her hair, and happily wished Ruyi a happy new year.

Suo Xin, who was standing next to her, was still wearing the old emerald green palace maid's costume, the contrast was very obvious.

Ruyi knew that A Ruo was probably bullying惢心 in secret again.

But this time, Ruyi didn't plan to scold A Ruo again. You can't wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

Since Ah Ruo is so ambitious, why not help her achieve her goal? The higher you climb, the harder you fall. It is the most interesting to suddenly lose something when you are about to get it, isn't it?

Ruyi called A Ruo and惢心 to her side.

"A Ruo, Suo Xin, you two have served me for a long time. Although this Yanxi Palace is not big, it still seems a bit empty with only me and Hai Guiren living there.

The new year is approaching, and I have specially asked the Emperor for grace to allow you two to have your own room."

Upon hearing this, A Ruo and Suo Xin hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude, and kept saying auspicious words.
