Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 16 Fish Paste Flower Cake
As she spoke, Fucha Langya felt a pang of bitterness. She put down the orange in her hand and sighed, "Alas, it would be nice if Concubine Xian could always be filial to the Queen Mother on my behalf."
"Your Majesty, please don't say such discouraging words." Jin Yuyan said hurriedly, "Empress Xian has just taken charge of the palace, and she still has to rely on you in many areas. In my opinion, this is a good thing."
Seeing Fu Cha Langya looking at her with interest, Jin Yuyan lowered her voice and said, "I know that assisting in the management of the six palaces may seem glamorous, but it is actually very hard work.
The Queen Mother could just push all the thankless and tiring work onto Concubine Xian.
Empress Xian has never held power in the palace, so it seems that she knows nothing about it.
In this way, when Concubine Xian is assisting in managing the six palaces, whether she will make mistakes and what mistakes she will make are all under the control of the Empress, right? "
After hearing Jin Yuyan's words, Fu Cha Langya's eyes lit up and she felt that it made a lot of sense.
Gao Xiyue also agreed, "What Jia Guiren said is right. The Queen is the principal wife, and Concubine Xian is a concubine. If a concubine makes a mistake, the principal wife naturally has the right to punish her.
I will definitely find a way to help the Queen find out Concubine Xian's faults as soon as possible and vent her anger."
Ruyi was looking through the account book given to her by Fucha Langya in her room that day. A Ruo came in happily to report that the emperor had arrived.
The emperor stood with his hands behind his back and asked Ruyi what she was looking at so intently as soon as he entered the room.
Ruyi pushed the thick pile of account books in front of her forward and said, "The Queen gave me a few account books from previous years and asked me to study them."
The emperor looked at the account books piled up on the table, frowned slightly, and said, "This account book is complicated, it must be tiring to read it."
Ruyi nodded obediently and said, "Fortunately, the account book that the Queen gave me is very clear, and I have a lot of experience with it."
"Oh? Tell me about it." The emperor spoke with interest.
“The number of concubines the late emperor had in his later years is almost the same as the number of concubines the emperor had when he first ascended the throne.
But since the Emperor ascended the throne, the expenses of the harem have been reduced by half, which shows how frugal the Empress is."
The emperor looked at Ruyi with admiration, "You finished reading it so quickly? This was originally the job of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you actually understood it?"
Ruyi rubbed her wrist carelessly and said, "The Queen values me and wants me to finish reading and get started as soon as possible. I dare not neglect it and can only work harder day and night."
The emperor reached out and held Ruyi's slender wrist, gently rubbing it for her, "The queen was just being polite, why do you take it so seriously?
Listen to me, don't stay up late anymore, be careful not to hurt your eyes. You are so smart and hardworking, it's obvious that I found the right person to help manage the six palaces."
After the emperor left, Hai Lan came to see Ruyi with her newly developed trick.
Ever since Ruyi was given the power to assist in managing the six palaces, the Imperial Household Department no longer dared to deduct the share of the Yanx Palace.
Hailan now had many popular embroidery threads and materials in her hands, and she couldn't stop her joy for the whole day.
All day long, she was either thinking about embroidering a new hand warmer for Ruyi or making a new sachet for her.
Ruyi wore a new dress every day, and never changed the same one. This made Ruyi laugh and scold Hailan, saying that she really treated her like a decoration.
"Sister, please stop making fun of me. My life is boring, so I just like to do some embroidery. Sister, you know that.
Didn’t my sister always love me trying on jewelry and makeup?
It's not often that you can occasionally have fun with me and ask me to change your clothes, so please don't complain, sister."
Hai Lan smiled and measured Ruyi's waist again. "Sister, you are naturally beautiful and slender, and you are a rare clothes hanger.
Now, my sister is helping to manage the six palaces and is very busy. Look at your waist, it has become half an inch thinner in just a few days. It really makes me feel distressed. "
Ruyi touched her waist and smiled without saying anything.
Ruyi is now in charge of the household affairs. Although she seems to be enjoying a good life, she is actually being tripped up by Fucha Langya in secret. Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan are also waiting to see her make mistakes and embarrass herself.
However, Fucha Langya probably had no idea that Ruyi had already mastered the task of assisting in managing the six palaces.
After all, in her previous life, Ruyi was the queen for fifteen years.
If we calculate based on the trajectory of her previous life, Fucha Langya was only the queen for thirteen years and was still not as good as Ruyi.
What’s more, the emperor has just ascended the throne for less than a year.
Fu Cha Langya's current methods are very immature, and Ruyi can easily avoid the trap she sets without any effort.
Ruyi's waist has become thinner recently, but she is actually just practicing dancing secretly.
In the previous life, Wei Yanwan's dance of red plum blossoms on the water made the emperor's eyes go straight. Ruyi rehearsed a dance of green plum blossoms in the snow for herself.
Ruyi's birthday is coming soon, and the emperor will definitely come then.
Ruyi was preparing to dance in private for the emperor to see. Ruyi was shy and would feel more relaxed if she didn't show off in front of the other concubines.
With pearls and jade in front of her, it is hard to stop her. Ruyi wants to be the only and most beautiful white moonlight in the emperor's heart.
On this side, Suo Xin returned to the Yanxi Palace with an empty food box.
As soon as they entered the palace, Ah Ruo couldn't wait to scold, "惢心, what have you been doing all morning? I couldn't find you anywhere."
Suo Xin shrank back with her eyebrows lowered, and responded respectfully, "The master asked me to send some fish paste and flower cake to the Third Prince in Xiefang Palace. It was difficult to travel in the snow, so I returned a little late."
Ah Ruo refused to give in, as if to show off her status, she poked Suo Xin's forehead with her hand and said, "I see that you are becoming less and less attentive to your work.
You should really reflect on yourself for being so negligent in doing such errands."
A Ruo's sharp nails had already scratched a red patch on Suo Xin's forehead, and Hai Lan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
Seeing that Ruyi remained silent, she took the initiative to speak up and said, "惢心, did you get the mugwort I asked you to get from the Imperial Hospital? I need it urgently."
Only then did A Ruo let Suo Xin go, and went on to admonish the other young palace maids in a haughty manner.
Suo Xin came to Ruyi, put a bag of herbs on the table, and looked at Hai Lan gratefully, "Thank you, Noble Hai, for speaking for me."
Hailan smiled gently.
Ruyi saw Ah Ruo had already walked away from the corner of her eye, and then she spoke, "I have been reading the Tao Te Ching recently, and there is a sentence in it that I really like. It says that if God wants to destroy someone, he will make him crazy. Suo Xin, guess what this means?"
Suo Xin thought seriously for a while and replied, "I am not good at poetry and literature, but I like to cook cakes. Just like this fish paste cake. Before being put into the steamer, each piece is compact and small. But after being taken off the steamer, each piece will become fluffy and larger, with different shapes.
It is well known that the fluffier the cake is, the more tempting it is. Even the Third Prince would always choose the largest piece when choosing fish paste cake. "
