Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 210 West Lake Night Banquet
When it comes to deep affection, Ruyi's watery eyes are filled with tears, and she kneels down respectfully to salute, "The people respect the emperor, and I am proud of my husband."
Although he was in the palace, the emperor still had to review memorials every day and meet with officials. His most leisurely days were over.
One day, Fujia came to report that the Queen Mother had invited her. Although Ruyi was confused, she still went obediently.
Perhaps because of the emperor's mediation, the empress dowager did not blame Ruyi for accompanying the emperor in indulging in pleasure.
He just went around in circles, talking about the beautiful scenery of the south of the Yangtze River and its beautiful women.
Ruyi smiled without saying anything, knowing what was going on.
Of the three chess pieces beside the Queen Mother, two are gone, and one is pregnant and stayed in the capital. Now she is probably stubborn and the Queen Mother will have to place the fourth or fifth one.
In her previous life, Ruyi was infatuated with the emperor and would not be willing to share her husband with other women. But now, Ruyi no longer cares about these frivolous things.
In such situations, Ruyi always does everything perfectly.
She nodded meekly and said, "Your Majesty works day and night, busy with state affairs all day long, and has no time to rest.
Even if the Empress Dowager doesn't mention it, I will still think of ways to help the Emperor relax."
Ruyi's virtue and gentleness were beyond the Empress Dowager's expectations.
The Queen Mother was going to have a heated argument, but she didn't expect Ruyi to take the initiative and continue, "I am preparing to hold a night banquet by the West Lake in a few days.
Please do me a favor, Madam Empress, and come here."
Seeing Ruyi being so sensible, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile and said, "It's rare that you have such filial piety, I will come naturally."
After saying that, he asked Fujia to bring an exquisite sandalwood tray.
The red cloth was lifted, revealing a gorgeous and dazzling pearl hairpin.
The Queen Mother smiled kindly, picked up the pearl hairpin and gestured to Ruyi's headband.
"This eight-treasure pearl phoenix-tail hairpin was specially ordered by me to be made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
You have been the queen for some time now. You are respectful and virtuous, and you have done nothing wrong. Just think of it as my love for you."
Ruyi knelt down and bowed respectfully. The queen mother sat back and inserted the phoenix hairpin into Ruyi's bun.
The harmony between the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also a good story.
Ruyi knew that the Empress Dowager wanted to present a woman to the Emperor, and she did not stop her, so she deserved the Empress Dowager's reward.
At night, bright lights are lit up along the shore of West Lake, reflecting the lake water like stars embedded in the sky, creating a unique atmosphere.
The Queen Mother sat in the center, wearing gorgeous clothes, looking dignified and dignified. The Emperor and Ruyi sat on both sides, and the concubines below were also dressed in colorful clothes, gorgeously dressed.
In recent days, officials from all over the country have presented many young girls to the emperor, all of whom are as beautiful as flowers and charming.
Now, as they served at the banquet, the girls would shyly look at the emperor from time to time, sending him charming glances.
Gao Xiyue didn't care about all this. She kept picking up the West Lake water shield on the table, as if she was seizing the time to savor the special delicacy.
Ping Da Ying and Kui Da Ying had never been favored by the emperor. After toasting the emperor with a few glasses of wine, they watched the singing and dancing with peace of mind without saying much.
It was Concubine Cheng who had been secretly observing every move of the people above her.
Soon, the music changed, and two small boats covered with lotus flowers came towards each other on the lake. Large and small lanterns were hung on the sides of the boats, which were very eye-catching.
"It's not even the midsummer season for the lotus flowers in Quyuan yet, where do all these lotus flowers come from? It's really rare."
The emperor took the wine glass with great interest and took a sip, but his eyes never left the boat.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "The scenery in Jiangnan is beautiful. It's rare for me and the Emperor to leave the palace. Now we can suddenly see so many beautiful and tender lotus flowers. It can be said that the people below are thoughtful."
Before he finished speaking, the two largest lotus flowers on the two boats bloomed symmetrically, which was stunning.
Two women in yellow skirts and single spiral buns, common among Han women, were sitting in the middle with their eyes downcast and gauze covering their faces, twisting their bodies.
They stand there dot by dot, as if imitating the delicate and graceful stamens of the lotus.
The music started, the pitch slowly rising. Two women stood on their toes on the platform in the middle of the lotus and began to dance.
The slender waist and perky hips were wrapped in clothes that fit tightly to the body, and as the woman danced, her curves swayed beautifully.
It must be said that the unique gentleness and gracefulness of the Jiangnan women are more innovative than the conformist women in the palace.
Even the emperor's eyes gradually revealed a look of dejection and intoxication.
The Queen Mother casually picked up a piece of lotus root sugar cake and said with a smile, "Emperor, it is because of your filial piety that I can see the beautiful and leisurely scenery of Hangzhou.
But although the scenery is beautiful, it is never as enchanting as a beauty with half her face covered.
The queen was virtuous and had many children in the harem, but most of the positions of concubines were still empty, which was very ugly.
Since you are touring Jiangnan, you should at least let a few Jiangnan beauties accompany you on your tour, so that you will not let them down."
The empress dowager's tone was gentle. Ruyi glanced at the emperor silently, only to see that the relaxed smile on his lips suddenly turned cold after hearing the empress dowager's words.
The emperor originally suspected that Qi Ru was the empress dowager's man, and was therefore wary of the empress dowager's intentions.
And now, the Queen Mother has blatantly begun to put people around the Emperor.
But what the Queen Mother did not take into account was that the Emperor was no longer the obedient son who always obeyed the Queen Mother when he first ascended the throne.
The Queen Mother's move will not only fail to find out the Emperor's true intentions, but will also bring disaster and suspicion, which will not be worth the loss.
As an emperor, he has to be on guard against even his adoptive mother every day, and Ruyi feels tired for the emperor.
After retracting her gaze, Ruyi only felt that the candied lotus root under her chopsticks was even softer, more glutinous and sweeter.
But after a moment, the emperor smiled again and raised his glass to the empress dowager.
"Is the Empress Dowager preparing a new person for my son? I appreciate your kindness and will not let you down."
The Queen Mother smiled without saying anything, but waved to the two women to get off the boat and come forward to pay their respects.
"This humble girl pays respects to the Queen Mother, Your Majesty, and the Empress."
The two women spoke in soft voices with the soft and sticky accents unique to Jiangnan women, and bowed gracefully.
After the veil was removed, the two women looked up shyly, and one of them was gentle and graceful, with eyebrows curved like the moon, while the other was naturally charming, with cheeks as rosy as clouds.
Gao Xiyue drank her wine with great interest and joked, "These two sisters have very different temperaments, but they seem to have some similarities in their brows.
Could it be that all these Jiangnan beauties are cut from the same mold?"
The gentle woman knelt down and bowed, and said softly, "In reply to Madam Huifei, our father is the governor of Hangzhou, and is under the governor of Zhejiang.
Because they are half sisters from the same father, their facial features are somewhat similar. "
"sisters?"
Gao Xiyue sat up straight, with a teasing look in her eyes. "Two sisters serving the emperor together, isn't that just like Ehuang and Nvying in the storybooks?"
