Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 211 Give a gift of spring

The woman blushed and lowered her head in silence.

As Gao Xiyue's words became more and more outrageous, Ruyi could not help but speak up, "Empress Hui, you are drunk. Drink some sobering soup to calm down."

Gao Xiyue stuck out her tongue, turned her face away proudly and stopped talking.

The emperor was very pleased and gave them seats. After asking their names, he named them Roudain and Lidain on the spot.

The Queen Mother smiled and made her own decision, "It seems that the Emperor does not need to turn over the cards tonight. Just let the two beauties accompany you."

The emperor had the same idea.

But maybe it was because he had been in a high position for too long and had been constrained by the Queen Mother, he actually had some rebellious thoughts for a while.

"What the Empress said is very true. But the late Emperor once taught that an emperor should not be too obsessed with beauty and pleasure.

I think it would be more appropriate to turn over the sign."

Ruyi had intended to say what she was supposed to say as part of her duty as an empress, but the emperor said it himself. She chuckled and lowered her eyes, secretly laughing at the empress dowager's over-eagerness, which had the opposite effect.

Rou agreed, who was a little older, stood up and said slowly, "As the eldest sister, I should give way to my younger sister. Why not let Li agree to accompany me tonight?"

The emperor followed her words and waved to Li to sit next to him. The two of them clinked glasses and chatted softly as if no one was around.

Ruyi just pretended not to see it and was not bothered by it. She still maintained a faint smile and concentrated on enjoying the complicated and enchanting singing and dancing below.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Concubine Cheng standing beside him. She seemed to be talking to a maid beside her and then quietly retreated.

The Queen Mother saw that her goal had been achieved, and as if she was afraid that the Emperor would feel uncomfortable, she left, citing the strong wind as an excuse, leaving only the concubines to continue to accompany the Emperor.

After returning to the bedroom, the empress dowager removed her heavy makeup in front of the mirror, revealing a faint sallow look on her face.

Fujia took off the pearls and jade from the queen's head and said with a smile, "Tonight the two princesses have lived up to the queen's expectations.

Seeing the look in the emperor's eyes, I'm afraid the two young ladies will still be in favor for a long time."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes and hummed softly, "Among the princesses in the official family, they are the most outstanding. Although they are not the most beautiful, they are rare sisters with the same father, which is also novel.

The position that the emperor gave to me was not high, but fortunately it was not an insult to me or a betrayal of my efforts.

In the days ahead, it will all depend on their respective abilities."

Fujia held a wooden comb in his hand, gently and skillfully dredges the meridians of the scalp for the empress dowager, "You finally came to Jiangnan, the empress dowager should have a good rest and enjoy her old age. Why bother to work hard on everything and hurt your body?"

Fujia had followed the Queen Mother for many years, and was loyal and attentive. Some of the things she said were a bit beyond the rules as a servant, but the Queen Mother didn't care.

The Queen Mother sighed and looked at her increasingly aged face in the mirror. A feeling of sadness surged over her like a wave.

"Fujia, you know what I am worried about. Hengchui always sends letters back from Junggar, and every letter is full of complaints and bitterness.

Acclimating to the local climate and water was a minor matter. The important thing was that her husband and she were always at odds with each other. He was never willing to understand her and just told her to just bear with it.

I don’t know when days like this will end.

Although I don’t want Hengchu to divorce, I am always looking forward to it in my heart. If one day Hengchu can come back to me, I will be satisfied.”

The moon is bright in the sky, the stars are sparse, and the melodious flute sounds blow slowly with the warm evening breeze.

The originally cool, silky surface of the lake began to ripple, and then spread out into large circles of waves.

There are white particles floating in the air, which look like snowflakes and are amazing to see.

Gao Xiyue held her forehead with her hand, laughing unrestrainedly, and her behavior was slightly unruly.

She actually raised the empty jade bowl and shouted to Ruyi, "Empress, the sobering drink you gave at the banquet doesn't seem to be very effective.

How come I seem to be even more drunk, and I actually saw snow falling in this warm and misty place in the south of the Yangtze River? "

Ruyi was also a little curious, and saw Ping Ying, who was sitting by the lake, stretched out his hand and caught some of the crumbs, exclaiming in surprise, "This is not snow, it's white plum."

"It's already March, where are the plum blossoms?"

The emperor was a little skeptical when he heard this. Li Ying, who was standing beside him, smiled softly and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know that we have a kind of late plum blossom here, which blooms in this season.

However, if you want to find that kind of plum blossom, you have to go deep into the mountains or deep into the lonely peaks. It is very rare. Even I have only heard of it and have never seen it with my own eyes. "

Ruyi's expression turned cold, and she thought to herself that this little trick was very similar to Wei Yanwan's Red Plum Dance on the Lake in her previous life.

"The plum blossoms are like snow, which is quite thoughtful. However, since the plum blossoms are elegant and noble, and they grow in the deep mountains, they are very rare.

Now, just for the sake of a momentary interest, he squanders it so much, and is too flattering, which has lost his true nature. "

The scenery on the lake suddenly changed. A small green boat floated over. There were layers of screens hanging on the boat, with soft silk attached, fluttering in the wind, which was very mysterious.

Between the silk ribbons, a woman in white came with fluttering sleeves. Her dancing posture was like walking on water, mysterious and graceful.

Mixed with the cool moonlight and the clear flute sounds, it is like a fairy descending from the nine heavens, making it difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion.

After the dance, the white silk flew towards the emperor, and the woman quietly slipped in front of the emperor among many white gauze.

As soon as they looked up, everyone realized that the woman in front of them was Concubine Cheng.

"I have nothing in Jiangnan, so I give you a branch of spring.

I, your servant, once visited an ancient temple and encountered this rare late plum tree. I was so fascinated that I picked one branch myself and presented it to Your Majesty for his enjoyment.

I hope the emperor can remember the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan and the people of the past."

Concubine Cheng's eyes moved and she smiled, but the words she said were extremely explicit.

Although the emperor was somewhat displeased, he still took the white plum blossom.

"You are thoughtful. I was busy with government affairs before and neglected you a little.

But now you are dancing under the moon, and you have won my heart. In this case, I will make you my concubine."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Cheng's faint smile almost overflowed from the corners of her lips.

But before she could be happy for a moment, she saw the emperor stand up, personally holding Li's hand and saying, "It's getting late today, and I'm a little tired.

Queen, you and the other concubines should stop drinking too much. I will take Li Ying back first."

Ruyi stood up and knelt down with all the concubines to salute, watching the emperor leave.

With a gentle and virtuous demeanor, Ruyi turned around and said slowly, "Sisters, now that you have seen the scenery you should, go back and rest early.

Tomorrow, everyone should have a good rest. You don’t need to get up early to visit me.”

All the concubines bowed again and praised the queen for her virtue and compassion.

Only Concubine Cheng, although she lowered her head and her expression could not be seen clearly, the mocking and sarcastic eyes of the crowd were like needles pricking her spine, almost bending her.
