Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Gao Xiyue greeted Ruyi in a lazy tone, but her gesture of stroking her temple was extremely respectful.

"Did the Imperial Concubine just come out of the Yangxin Palace? Princess Jingshu is so cute. I'm sure the Emperor loves her very much."

Gao Xiyue walked up to the wet nurse, took off the silver-woven finger gloves inlaid with colorful gems, and carefully opened the swaddling clothes.

His eyes were filled with unbreakable tenderness as he looked at Jingshu who was sleeping with her eyes closed.

When the wet nurse saw Gao Xiyue being so close to Jingshu, she was a little nervous and quickly turned to look at Ruyi for help.

But Ruyi just shook her head slightly. Although the nurse was puzzled, her tense body relaxed.

Ruyi looked at Gao Xiyue and said softly, "Is Concubine Hui going to the Yangxin Palace to look for the emperor?"

"Yes, Yonghuang is almost sixteen years old, and it is almost time for him to get married. As his mother, I naturally have to make plans for the child as soon as possible."

A look of kindness appeared on Gao Xiyue's face.

"It seems that Concubine Hui really loves the eldest prince." Ruyi's lips curled up into a smile unconsciously.

Gao Xiyue put on the armor slowly and said, "I only have Yonghuang as my child in this life, so I will love him more."

As the two passed each other, Gao Xiyue whispered in Ruyi's ear.

"Ruyi, when we were at the Silkworm Ceremony that day, I said you were pregnant with a daughter. That was just a casual remark. I didn't really go to Anhua Palace to tell fortunes."

"I know. Jingshu is also very considerate. Concubine Hui doesn't need to worry about it."

Gao Xiyue's explanation was really unnecessary, and Ruyi couldn't help but find it funny.

She didn't know that Gao Xiyue was still brooding over the fact that she was pregnant with a girl.

Gao Xiyue touched the pale makeup that she had deliberately applied on her face, and after confirming with Mo Xin again and again that there were no flaws, she carried the food box and walked into the Yangxin Palace under the guidance of Li Yu.

After greeting, Gao Xiyue took out a bowl of soup from the food box and gently placed it on the table.

"Your Majesty, this is the Heart-clearing Soup with Polygonatum and Lotus Seeds that I specially prepared for you. It is the best for clearing away heat, nourishing the heart, restoring vitality and replenishing Qi. Would you like to try it?"

The emperor put down the memorial in his hand, took a spoonful, and found it tasted really good.

"Empress Hui, it's rare to see you come to the Yangxin Palace. Is there anything going on?"

Gao Xiyue sat on a chair nearby, her back pressed against the back of the chair with great effort, and she managed to sit up straight. She did so in a very weak manner.

She had some inappropriate rouge on her pale face, and it was obvious that she was trying hard to maintain her complexion.

"Since I recovered from my illness, I have not been in good health. I feel guilty for not being able to serve the emperor.

I feel a little better today, and I miss the emperor, so I came here."

Although she said so, Gao Xiyue didn't think so in her heart.

She was not in good health, but they were all old illnesses, not serious enough to prevent her from sleeping with him.

But she herself had a grudge and didn't want to sleep with the emperor again, so she just kept using this excuse.

But today, she did have something to do, so she came to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor.

"I do have something to ask of you, Your Majesty. Yonghuang is now old enough to get married.

I don't know how long I have left to live, so I want to see him find a wife, get married and have children sooner."

The emperor looked up at Gao Xiyue in surprise, and saw that her eyes were sincere and she really cared about Yonghuang.

"Yonghuang is my eldest son, and if you calculate his age, he is indeed old enough.

I will keep an eye on the ladies of the ministers in the court. In a few days, I will select some with decent family background, suitable age, and good appearance, and bring their portraits to you for your reference.”

"No need to be so troublesome." Gao Xiyue had a gentle smile on her face.

Perhaps because of his frail body, his speech was also slow, as if he took three breaths after each sentence.

"Yonghuang is sensible, considerate, filial and well-behaved. I do not seek a woman from a wealthy family, I only hope that Yonghuang can marry a wife of his choice who is gentle and respectful.

I am planning to hold a lotus viewing banquet in the near future and invite some young ladies from official families who are of appropriate age.

It doesn't matter if the family background is high or low, as long as the person has good character, is humble and polite. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Okay, you are Yonghuang's adoptive mother. I will respect your opinion, but..."

The emperor thought about it for a while. Seeing Gao Xiyue so weak, he thought that she would not be able to host the lotus viewing banquet independently.

Although Fu Cha Langya was the biological mother, there were rumors in the palace in previous years that Fu Cha Langya was dissatisfied with Concubine Zhe giving birth to her eldest son.

Back when she was in the Qiandi Palace, it was she who caused Concubine Zhe to die while giving birth to the second princess.

Although it was just a rumor and there was no actual evidence, the emperor had heard it so many times that he could not help but have doubts in his heart.

In addition, it was true that Yonghuang was treated harshly in Xiefang Palace, and the emperor was secretly aware of it.

Fu Cha Langya was not as dignified and generous as she appeared to be, and she must have disliked Yonghuang in her heart.

Gao Xiyue is simple and dull, and only knows how to rely on Fucha Langya.

If Fu Cha Langya did something to Yonghuang's marriage, with Gao Xiyue's intelligence, she would not only fail to see the clues, but would even applaud.

Although Ruyi is capable and tolerant, she has a bad relationship with Gao Xiyue. Even if Ruyi does nothing, Gao Xiyue will doubt her intentions.

Although Yonghuang's marriage was handed over to Ruyi to ensure fairness, Gao Xiyue was afraid that she would become obsessed with him again and expressed her dissatisfaction.

As for Concubine Yu, she and Ruyi were like sisters. The two of them seemed to be the same person, and she was not a good choice either.

After much deliberation, the emperor finally decided to choose Concubine Chun, who was always kind to others, to help Gao Xiyue host the lotus viewing banquet.

Su Lujun knew that this lotus viewing banquet was ordered by the emperor himself and was specially held for the purpose of selecting a wife for Yonghuang.

Therefore, she specially picked an auspicious day with bright sunshine and, in accordance with the emperor's wishes, invited many young ladies from official families of varying social status and of similar age to Yonghuang to enter the palace.

On a summer afternoon, the sun shines obliquely on the lotus pond, as if covering this green ocean with a layer of golden gauze.

The emerald green lotus leaves stretch out like umbrellas, sparkling in the sun like pieces of emerald green.

The pink lotus flowers stand tall and graceful, some in bud, some in full bloom.

The vast lotus pond is a lush scene with large lotus flowers in full bloom.

As the breeze blows, the petals sway gently in the wind, and the faint fragrance fills the air, refreshing the heart.

Young girls dressed in brightly colored clothes stood by the lotus pond, discussing poetry, listening to music, burning incense and sipping tea.

In addition, each of the girls has a pretty face, which seems to be three times more beautiful than the lotus, which is a unique kind of beauty.

Gao Xiyue sat at the top, chatting and laughing with Su Lujun from time to time. Yonghuang sat quietly at the side, observing the girls below without making a sound.
