Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

His original intention was just to hold Concubine Feng back.

But Concubine Feng was pregnant and heavy, and he was afraid that he could not hold her tightly, so in desperation he changed to holding her with both hands.

The truth was clear, and the grievances of Qin Li and Chengpin were cleared.

Ruyi ordered Xiao Luozi to be beaten to death, and Chengpin was punished by being confined to her house for half a month for not managing her subordinates strictly.

Ruyi ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare new sedan chairs, which she gave to Concubine Cheng and Concubine Feng respectively. She also sent many supplements to Concubine Feng's palace as a sign of consolation.

Wei Yanwan was effective in protecting her master, and Lu Tai was instrumental in preserving the fetus, so Ruyi generously rewarded them both.

Imperial Doctor Lu was extremely grateful and said that he would do whatever it takes to help Concubine Feng have this baby.

But in Ruyi's heart, she always felt that things would not be that simple.

If it was really an accident, it would be too much of a coincidence. Could it be that someone wanted to harm Concubine Cheng, but accidentally harmed Concubine Feng?

But if we say that it was Concubine Cheng who did it, it would be too obvious.

What Concubine Cheng said was correct. As a concubine who had not yet served the emperor in bed, why would she want to harm a pregnant noblewoman?

Ruyi couldn't figure out Concubine Cheng's intention, so she had to leave Qixiang Palace in confusion.

Ruyi's suspicion is not without reason.

After returning to Jingyang Palace, Concubine Cheng took off the armor on her hands and soaked them in floral water.

Feeling her hands wrapped in warm air, Chengpin sighed comfortably.

Yancao took out a soft handkerchief and carefully wiped Chengpin's hands, "My lord, I am still a little scared.

If the Emperor had not appointed you as a concubine today, and you had no sedan chair, how would you have managed to abort Concubine Feng's pregnancy?"

Qin Sang handed over a box of moisturizer. Chengpin gently scooped out a piece and applied it evenly on the back of her fair and smooth hand.

“When remembering someone who has passed away, people tend to only remember the good things about her and try their best to beautify her image.

There is no doubt that the Emperor has nostalgia for Empress Xiaoxian.

In addition, there was my appearance and dress, the harmonious music of the zither, and Princess Jingse's painting of "Family Happiness".

Tell me, how could the Emperor not be attracted to me?"

Yancao understood a little, "Master is smart. But what you did today was really risky.

If it weren't for Xiao Luozi's loyalty, I'm afraid you would have been implicated."

Concubine Cheng smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? Brother Xiao Luozi's life is still in my hands.

If he dares to have any other intentions, he will have no choice but to reunite with his brother in the underworld."

Thinking of this, Concubine Cheng sighed quietly, "It's a pity that my plan was a little hasty this time.

The troublesome Yan Wan escaped successfully."

This time, it was Concubine Cheng who instructed Xiao Luozi to loosen the ropes on the sedan chair.

Originally, she wanted to make Concubine Feng fall and have a miscarriage, and then use the excuse of protecting her master in a disadvantageous way to get rid of Wei Yanwan.

However, Wei Yanwan has always been very cautious towards the pregnant Concubine Feng.

Her reaction was really quick, and this time she let Wei Yanwan protect Concubine Feng, and she got the credit instead.

As for Concubine Feng, although she had no grudge against Concubine Cheng, her belly was really an eyesore.

For Concubine Cheng, the fewer children there were in the Forbidden City, the better, as long as they were not her own.

Yan Cao said angrily, "When the master ascends the throne, we will have plenty of opportunities to get rid of that slave girl.

It's just a pity that the master's plan was wasted."

"Is it a waste? I don't think so." A meaningful smile appeared on Chengpin's lips.

Although Yancao was ignorant, she knew that Concubine Cheng was always shrewd and cunning, so she sensibly stopped asking questions.

The half-month confinement passed quickly. After the confinement was lifted, Concubine Cheng became more active in the palace.

All day long, she either went to the Yangxin Palace to bring soup to the emperor and play the zither, or went to various palaces to chat.

Because Concubine Cheng was still in mourning and could not serve the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber, there was no conflict of interest between her and the other concubines.

In addition, she was good at dealing with people and handled things smoothly, which gave her a good reputation among the concubines and made her life very successful.

However, Su Lujun of Zhongcui Palace was found to be two months pregnant.

Counting it up, it happened less than a month after the funeral of Empress Xiaoxian.

When Ruyi got the news, she found it ironic and ridiculous.

The mourning period for his legal wife had just ended, but the emperor couldn't wait to visit his concubines. He is really young and strong.

As soon as the news of Su Lujun's pregnancy spread, the old ministers of the previous dynasty could no longer sit still.

Countless memorials came in overwhelmingly, making the emperor extremely annoyed.

The emperor knew that this was against the rules, but he was in his prime and how could he resist facing such beautiful concubines?

The emperor was busy with state affairs and was not paying attention for a moment, so he forgot to give the contraceptive medicine afterwards.

Unexpectedly, Su Lujun's body was too "unlucky". The other concubines were all safe and sound, but she was the only one who got pregnant again in just one night.

Su Lujun was also helpless.

But this is her child after all. Even though she knew that coming at an inopportune time, she couldn't bear to see the child suffer any harm.

In order to avoid trouble, Su Lujun simply stayed indoors except for the usual morning and evening visits, and focused on taking care of her pregnancy.

Su Lujun was late for today's morning greeting meeting.

She thought everyone's attention would be on her, but she never expected that another matter would help her divert most of the attention.

It turned out that Concubine Cheng was not here, which was rare.

Ruyi sat at the head of the table, drinking tea leisurely, and had no intention of answering everyone's questions.

Su Lujun has been keeping a low profile since she became pregnant, and she no longer sent people to inquire about gossip, so for a while she couldn't figure out what had happened to Concubine Cheng.

Seeing that everyone seemed to have something to say but was afraid to speak, Su Lujun couldn't help but take the lead and asked Ning Cheng,

"Princess Cheng used to be a very diligent and respectful person, why didn't she come to pay her respects to the Imperial Noble Consort today?

Ning agreed, you live with Concubine Cheng in Jingyang Palace, but what do you know? "

Ning Da Ying had been a little transparent since she entered the palace. She was a little panicked when Su Lujun suddenly called her out.

"My concubine... My concubine..."

Ruyi put down the teacup and interrupted Ning's stammering answer.

"I forgot to tell you sisters that the emperor went to Jingyang Palace yesterday and was moved by the clear and beautiful sound of Chengpin's zither. The emperor made an exception and stayed in Jingyang Palace last night.

I just received the news from the Jingshifang. It won’t be long before we congratulate Concubine Cheng on her promotion again.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like throwing a stone into the water, and the concubines were all in an uproar.

When Concubine Cheng first entered the palace, the emperor said that he would let her observe mourning for Empress Xiaoxian for half a year, and even her green card was put on hold for the time being.

But now, the half-year period has not even been halfway through, and the Emperor not only favors Concubine Cheng, but even disregards ancestral rules and spends the first night in the concubine's palace.

It’s no wonder that Ruyi was too embarrassed to speak of such an outrageous behavior.
