Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 15: Assisting the Six Palaces
A Ruo wore new clothes and walked around the Yanxi Palace with a proud look on her face.
However, Ruyi called惢心 aside and took out a house deed.
"惢心, I know you have suffered a lot from Ah Ruo. But Ah Ruo is my dowry, and I still have to give her some face.
This is a mansion in the capital, the place is not good, but it is very spacious. Just think of it as my new year red envelope for you."
Ruyi knew that if she wanted to gain Jiang Yubi's loyalty,惢心 would have to marry him in the future.
Fortunately, they were from the same hometown and liked each other, so it was not Ruyi's random matchmaking. So Ruyi started to buy a dowry for惢心 early on.
Letting Ah Ruo and Suo Xin live in separate rooms was, on the one hand, to prevent Ah Ruo from bullying Suo Xin, and on the other hand, to allow Suo Xin to better keep her belongings, so that Ah Ruo would not see them and cause trouble.
Seeing this, Suo Xin knelt down hurriedly. "How dare I accept such a precious reward? I know Sister A Ruo's temper. If Sister A Ruo is really doing good for the master, then no matter how much grievance I suffer, it won't matter.
Besides, my parents died young, and I have no relatives at home. Even if I leave the palace, where can I go? It's really a waste of such a good house."
Ruyi stuffed the deed directly into惢心's hand and pretended to be angry, "It's said to be a New Year's red envelope. It's unlucky if you don't accept it,惢心."
Only then did惢心 thank him repeatedly and carefully put away the house deed.
It was getting late, and all the concubines had to pay their respects to the empress dowager today. Ruyi took A Ruo and Hai Lan to the Cining Palace.
The emperor brought his concubines and princes and princesses to pay New Year's greetings to the Empress Dowager Zhen Huan, and the palace was filled with joy and happiness.
The eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince all surrounded the queen mother and said auspicious words, but Princess Jingse refused to get close to the queen mother no matter what. The emperor frowned slightly when he saw this, but he didn't say anything in the end.
The eldest prince Yonghuang said that he had caught a cold and stayed away from the empress dowager to avoid being sick. The empress dowager smiled and praised Yonghuang for being sensible and filial.
The empress dowager wore a bright yellow embroidered robe with auspicious cloud patterns embroidered with gold thread, and the cuffs and collar were woven with tourmaline and purple pearls to form the words of happiness and longevity. She wore a tiara with kingfisher feathers and gold threads on her head, and a crown adorned with huge pearls, which made her look extremely wealthy and noble.
Holding the youngest prince, Yong Zhang, in her arms, the empress dowager gave her routine urging to the concubines.
"The abundance of heirs is a sign of prosperity. The eldest son and the legitimate son are both honorable. However, whoever gives birth to the first prince after the emperor ascends the throne is even more honorable. Emperor, am I right?"
The emperor nodded quickly.
The Queen Mother turned to look at Fu Cha Langya and said, "Queen, a lot of things have happened in the palace recently. Can you handle it?"
"Although I feel unfamiliar with the affairs of the harem, I can still handle it." Fu Cha Langya replied with a decent smile on her face.
"Empress, you are my legitimate daughter-in-law and a role model for all the concubines. I love you, but I have to teach you. It is good that you practice frugality, but people can be laid off everywhere, but not those in Xiefang Palace.
The heir to the throne is the most important thing. The eldest prince is the eldest son, but his cold never gets better. If Yonghuang makes any mistakes, how can you face the spirit of Concubine Zhe in heaven?"
After hearing this, Fu Cha Langya quickly bowed her head and confessed her guilt.
The Queen Mother continued, "It is the New Year now, and the New Year brings new things. Look at the concubines below, they are all in their prime, but they wear such plain and simple clothes all day long, and they look so old. Why are they so old-fashioned?
"I looked at them and felt that they didn't look like the emperor's concubines, but rather like imperial concubines."
Fucha Langya didn't dare to say anything back, and quickly stood up and knelt on the ground. Seeing this, all the concubines knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother asked everyone to stand up and continued, "Although the Emperor is in his prime, he must work harder on his offspring. The Emperor will be in a better mood if his concubines wear bright clothes.
When I looked around, I felt that only Concubine Xian and Noble Lady Hai were wearing relatively delicate clothes, but the materials looked like old goods.
Take the little maid behind Empress Xian for example. Although the pink cotton cloth is not worth much, it is bright in color and well-cut. It can be seen that Empress Xian is good at managing her subordinates and is decent in her conduct. In this regard, Queen, you have to improve a lot.
As the queen, ruling over the six palaces, you have to take care of everything. If you lose your dignity for the sake of frugality, you will be too hasty. "
Fu Cha Langya looked extremely unhappy. Seeing this, the emperor hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "What the Empress said is right. The Empress was not doing it properly in this matter. With the Empress's advice, the Empress will know what to do in the future."
The Queen Mother glanced at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty is right. But I think Concubine Xian is reliable, so I will let her help manage the six palaces from now on, so that she can share some of the burden with the Queen."
The emperor was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Ruyi with a smile on his face and said, "What the Empress said is true. Thank you, Concubine Xian."
Upon hearing this, Ruyi knelt down to express her gratitude.
Ruyi knew that the power to assist in managing the six palaces was the care that Zhen Huan had promised to give her, so she was not surprised.
In her previous life, when Ruyi first entered the palace, she did not know the benefits of palace power, which led to a shortage of charcoal and humiliation. The servants around her could be easily bribed and framed her.
Therefore, in this life, Ruyi stood on Zhen Huan's side early in order to gain power in the palace as soon as possible and no longer be a fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered by others.
On the other side, A Ruo, who was standing behind Ruyi, heard the Queen Mother praising her and felt extremely proud. After she stood up and thanked Ruyi, she did not forget to raise her eyes to peek at the Emperor. Unexpectedly, she was caught by the Emperor's gaze.
The two looked at each other, A'ruo's face turned red as if it was burning, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
The empress dowager decided to stop while she was ahead and quickly dismissed all the concubines.
Fu Cha Langya returned to the palace, so angry that she drank a whole cup of tea before she slowly calmed down. Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan tried to persuade her, but they didn't get any good responses.
"Hasn't the Queen Mother always disliked Concubine Xian? What happened today?" Gao Xiyue spoke first.
Seeing that Fu Cha Langya's hands were shaking with anger, Jin Yuyan instigated, "I really can't see through Concubine Xian's ability. She did it quietly and won the favor of the Queen Mother.
And the noble lady Hai, who usually looks stupid and dumb, is now attached to Ruyi and has been praised by the Queen Mother. How enviable."
Gao Xiyue said indignantly, "A compliment is nothing. But Concubine Xian is stepping on the Empress to ascend to the throne, and this concubine cannot tolerate it."
Fu Cha Langya paused while peeling the orange, lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, "No matter what, I am the Queen Mother's biological daughter-in-law. But now it is Concubine Xian who has taken over the job and is even more favored by the Queen Mother.
I ask myself that since the Emperor ascended the throne, I have fulfilled my duties and obligations as an empress. But somehow, I cannot compare to the status of Concubine Xian in the hearts of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. "
