Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

With a quick glance, all the festive decorations in Yikun Palace seemed so familiar to Ruyi.

After six kneelings and three kowtows, the ceremony was completed, and the female official leading Ruyi walked towards the palace gate.

The bells and drums of the Meridian Gate rang out, the echoes majestic and deafening. The crisp and powerful sound of whips fell on the white marble platform, mixed with the music of the Qingping Chapter, solemn and dignified.

Ruyi stepped onto the platform, looked at the emperor smiling at her tenderly, and extended her hand.

The emperor's palms felt a little sticky, and he scratched her palms shyly and mischievously like a young boy.

Ruyi responded with a faint smile, her mood still as calm as ice.

At this moment, the emperor might have feelings for her, but the next moment, that might not be the case.

Love is the most unpredictable and uncontrollable thing.

The ministers and concubines below had different expressions.

Some were in awe and respect, some were moved to tears, some were delighted, and some were indignant.

Due to Balzhuer's request, the emperor ordered Qin Sang to be Jingse's dowry.

Cheng Guiren, who rarely relied on the master's status as a servant, was able to gain some benefit and was released from house arrest.

Because of Fu Cha Fuheng's achievements, Concubine Cheng, who was also from the Fu Cha clan, was restored to the position of concubine by the emperor.

It was hot and humid in the summer, and there was no shade at the ceremony. Concubine Cheng huddled in her heavy court dress, sweating all over, and feeling restless and uncomfortable.

In comparison, Princess Jingse in front seemed much calmer.

Amidst the noise and joy of the crowd, only Jingse was still thinking about Fucha Langya, feeling cold and lonely in his heart.

Knowing that Ruyi would succeed the Empress was one thing, but seeing her standing side by side with the Emperor was another.

After the excitement had died down for a long time, Fu Cha Fu Heng approached and called her softly with care.

Jingse seemed to have found an outlet for all the resentment in his heart, and blurted out, "Uncle, you are the younger brother of the Empress Dowager, how can you be the envoy to confer the title of Empress?"

Fu Cha Fu Heng was a minister of the previous dynasty, and his character was very different from Jing Se, a little girl who was only jealous and vying for favor.

He smiled calmly, "Princess, you are wrong. The emperor personally appointed the envoy. As a subject, how can I disobey him?"

Jingse knew that she was being unreasonable, but she still wanted to get involved, "The Emperor respects the Empress Dowager and values ​​my uncle's talents.

If my uncle swears to death to refuse to obey, can the emperor still stubbornly go against my uncle's wishes?

I think it's just that people are gone and things get cold. Now that the Empress Dowager is gone, even my uncle has started to curry favor with the Empress Dowager."

In Fu Heng's impression, Fu Heng had always been dignified, polite, gentle and friendly. But Jing Se, the only surviving child, was raised to be so unruly and ignorant.

Putting away the pity in his heart, Fu Cha Fu Heng saluted with a cold heart, and said, "The princess is about to marry in Mongolia. There is no point in saying more. I wish the princess a smooth journey."

When Fu Cha and Fu Heng's figures gradually faded away, Jing Se suddenly felt that something she relied on was pushed away by her own hands.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is as magnificent and prosperous as ever. The bright golden light falls along the glazed green tiles, shining brightly and attracting people's attention.

Ruyi had taken off her complicated crown and clothes as queen and changed into a bright red brocade robe embroidered with eight dragon and phoenix patterns and sat gracefully between the red candles and wedding tent.

This is the dress that the Emperor personally ordered the Imperial Household Department to make for tonight only.

Apricot-red Su brocade was spread evenly on the wide gold-painted couch. In the center of a soft wide quilt decorated with twin lotus flowers, there was a pure gold, jade, and gemstone-inlaid ruyi and a bright red, round, full and flawless apple.

Ruyi glanced at it indifferently, knowing in her heart that this was a ritual specially customized for her by the Emperor based on folk wedding customs.

Under the soft quilt, there are countless dates, peanuts, longans, and chestnuts, which are the symbol of early birth of a son. On the table, there is also wedding wine tied with a red string and a steamed bun for descendants covered with a red cloth not far away.

The emperor and his first wife had already had a grand wedding.

Since Ruyi is the next empress, the ceremonial standards would naturally be slightly lowered to show the difference.

The emperor prepared gorgeous costumes and a complicated wedding ceremony just to make up for it. Ruyi knew it very well, so she followed his lead and acted it out again.

The next day, the whole palace paid a visit, and all the concubines waited diligently and respectfully in the Yikun Palace early.

Long before the ceremony of crowning the queen, Lu Changzai had collapsed and died.

Su Lujun felt that Concubine Lu had brought bad luck to Zhongcui Palace, so she hurriedly reported it to the emperor and Ruyi, and quickly and casually disposed of her body without disturbing too many people.

Except for the deceased, all the concubines in the harem are present today.

On the left and right sat Consort Chun and Consort Hui, followed by Consort Yu, Consort Shu, Consort Wan, Consort Cheng, and Consort Wei.

The last few seated were Liu Changzai, Ning Da Ying and Fang Da Ying, as well as Ping Da Ying and Kui Da Ying, who had been accepted by the emperor before and had a very low sense of presence.

In order to avoid disturbing the queen's bright red color, the concubines mostly wore beautiful Manchu clothing in colors such as emerald green, silver vermilion, light pink, and rosy purple.

Even Concubine Cheng, who hated Ruyi the most, obediently wore a blue gauze dress with diamond patterns and acted as respectful and submissive as possible.

Ruyi sat at the head of the table, her gentle eyes swept over the people below, and she spoke slowly, "Although I am the new queen, I have been with the sisters sitting here for a long time.

I will not repeat some empty words.

The Emperor has been working hard to govern the country. He was previously busy with the war in his previous dynasty and inevitably neglected the harem.

In a few days, I will talk to the Emperor about this and have everyone's green cards put up again. Only when the harem is equally blessed can it flourish and be peaceful."

Most of the concubines were surprised and praised the queen for her virtue.

It was because the Emperor had not turned over the name card for over a month in preparation for his wedding.

It was just a favor. Ruyi knew that the emperor would never belong to only one woman.

Taking the initiative to share the emperor's information with others in order to gain a reputation for being virtuous is something that all empresses in history, including Empress Xiaoxian, would do.

Although Ruyi is still a sentimental character, she would not show jealousy in such trivial matters.

Ruyi smiled calmly, looking at the haggard Su Lujun, and said, "Princess Hejing is about to marry the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia. This marriage is of great significance.

Although I am the queen, I have a lot of palace affairs to handle and there are some things I cannot help but take care of.

Concubine Chun has extensive experience and is steady and practical. I would like to trouble you to assist me in arranging the princess's wedding and to help Princess Hejing get married in a grand ceremony."

Su Lujun suddenly got the power to assist in managing the harem, and she stood up and bowed in a panic, "I am very grateful to the Queen for her trust in me.

I will do my best to fulfill your mission and will never disappoint you."

Ruyi smiled and motioned her to sit down. Su Lujun had just lost the princess, and she must be distressed and worried.

Ruyi's move was not only to help Su Lujun find something to do and divert some of the pain of losing her daughter.

At the same time, by dividing a small amount of palace power, he can gain a reputation for being magnanimous and appointing virtuous people without being too monopolistic.

These things had already been discussed by the Emperor and Ruyi last night.

It was difficult for a newly appointed empress to avoid criticism. The emperor took the initiative to think for Ruyi and let her save face, so Ruyi naturally agreed meekly.
