Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Seeing that the Queen Mother was upset, Fujia patted her back to help her breathe and said, "Queen Mother, please relax.

News came from Jingyang Palace that Concubine Cheng likes to eat sour apricots recently, but since she is under house arrest, she is inevitably short of food and clothing.

The ones sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have passed through too many hands, and she dare not use them. Now she wants to ask for the Queen Mother's blessing."

The Queen Mother glanced at Fujia and snorted thoughtfully, "She was originally from the Fucha clan, and was recommended by Zhang Tingyu's group of old ministers and Empress Xiaoxian on her deathbed, but now she has ended up being confined because she is pregnant.

It can be seen that the fate of each person depends not only on the cards in his hand, but also on his card skills. "

"Yes, Concubine Cheng is incompetent. She wanted to harm others but didn't clean up her mess. She deserves to be punished."

Fujia stole a glance at the Queen Mother's thoughtful expression and said carefully, "But now that the Queen is pregnant, Concubine Cheng can no longer sit still.

I think that if the Queen Mother raises the little prince in Concubine Cheng's belly, and the Niuhulu and Fucha families join forces, the Emperor will have to be more cautious of you no matter how suspicious he is in the future."

The Queen Mother put down her pipe, picked up the teacup and gently stirred the foam on it, saying faintly, "The child in Concubine Cheng's belly is also my grandson.

Concubine Cheng is sensible, so I will naturally not treat her or the little prince in her belly unfairly.

I remember that there are still a lot of blood swallows in the storeroom. I am old and have a poor appetite, so I will send them all to her."

"Yes." Fujia accepted the order.

Before she could even stand up, she heard the Queen Mother add a meaningful sentence, "You go in person. Make sure to let Concubine Cheng know who in the palace cares the most about her unborn child."

The draft took a long time.

Several princesses that Fujia had his eyes on were eliminated in the first two rounds of the draft.

It's not that they are not beautiful or outstanding. It's just that the emperor, in order to guard against others, has issued a decree that the daughters of those with high official positions and those with too much power will not be selected.

The Queen Mother had long expected that the Emperor was on guard against her, so it was not a surprise and she accepted it calmly.

As the weather grew colder and the first snow of this winter fell in the Forbidden City, the final round of the palace selection finally ended.

This selection took a lot of effort, but in the end the emperor finally picked four satisfactory women to enter the palace.

Two Mongolian military flags, one Manchu military flag, and one Han military flag.

The previous dynasty had just put down the rebellion of the Tibetan prince Zhuermed Namjale.

Now that the Junggar tribe is in internal strife, the emperor has specially selected two women from the Mongolian army flag to appease the Mongolian tribes. This can be regarded as a way to ensure that the former court and the harem check and balance each other.

Concubine Ying, Balin Meiruo, was assigned to Qixiang Palace, and Concubine Heping and Concubine Kuiding lived with her.

Ke Changzai of the Baierguosi clan was assigned to the Yonghe Palace, where she lived with Wanpin and Liu Changzai.

Gong Changzai and Xi Changzai were assigned to Chengqian Palace and lived with Lingpin.

Because Ying Guiren and Ke Changzai were both daughters of Mongolian nobles, Ruyi was afraid that they would not be able to adapt to the living habits when they first arrived in the palace, so she specially ordered people to place a lot of Mongolian-style furnishings in the palace where they lived.

When the newlyweds met the emperor together, they were all very generous and polite, and seemed very well-behaved.

Among them, Ying Guiren is the most innocent.

She is the favorite daughter of King Bahrain and has a lively personality even at home.

When she arrived at the Forbidden City, she was the youngest among all the concubines, and her words and actions made it easy for people to love her like a younger sister.

"I grew up on the grasslands, and I am used to drinking milk tea. I am most afraid of the bitter taste of southern tea.

I didn't expect to be able to drink such authentic milk tea from the Queen today. Thank you very much for your careful care."

Concubine Ying was holding a cup of milk tea, smiling with her eyes slightly narrowed, like a cute kitten.

Ruyi stroked her bulging belly, smiled and turned her eyes to Hailan beside her, "I am not feeling well and cannot overwork.

The emperor was considerate and specially ordered Concubine Yu to assist in managing the six palaces. This milk tea was specially prepared for you and Ke Changzai by Concubine Yu. I hope you like it."

When Concubine Ying heard this, she did not feel embarrassed that she had flattered the wrong person just now, but looked at Hai Lan with surprise and said with a smile, "Thank you, Concubine Yu.

Your Majesty treats me so well that it reminds me of my elder sister at home, who would also prepare milk tea for me in such a gentle and meticulous way."

Hai Lan nodded in a gentle and easygoing voice, "Noble Ying is young, but isn't she my sister?"

The weather is freezing cold, and the emperor has recently liked to summon Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke to the Yangxin Palace.

Looking at the young and bright girls making snowmen and grilling skewers, the emperor felt that he had become a lot younger.

The emperor favors a few newcomers, so the old ones are naturally neglected to some extent.

Concubines who had children had a relatively easy life. They only had to raise their children behind closed doors in the palace, and they didn't have to worry about losing the emperor's favor and having their status shaken.

The concubines who had no children and no favor could not sit still. The leaders among them were the two sisters, Noble Lady Rou and Noble Lady Li.

The Yongshou Palace where the two of them lived was originally the closest to the Yangxin Palace. Sometimes a little bit of the smell of barbecue in the Yangxin Palace drifted into the Yongshou Palace, which made the two of them feel extremely disgusted.

In order to practice dancing, the two of them had to be extremely strict with their diet. But no matter how hard they treated themselves, they could not please the emperor as much as the newcomers who acted coquettishly.

Concubine Li soon felt unbalanced.

"Sister, our appearance is almost healed. With a thin layer of powder on, nothing can be seen.

But why would the emperor prefer to pamper those little girls instead of coming to Yongshou Palace to see us?

Is it true that the emperor is so unfaithful that he forgets his old love when he finds a new one? "

Concubine Rou gently stopped Concubine Li from speaking arrogantly, "The Emperor is not someone you and I can discuss. Even if this is the Yongshou Palace, we must be extremely careful.

But you are right about one thing, our appearance has been restored to a large extent. If the emperor does not come to Yongshou Palace, we will fight for it.

Anyway, the queen is pregnant now, so she will definitely not be able to take care of us. If we can't compete with others, can we two sisters compete with those new girls in the palace?"

Concubine Rou took out a mysterious little medicine bag from her sleeve and held it in front of Concubine Li.

"This was given to me by Aunt Fujia who works for the Queen Mother. She said it's a good thing that can help us succeed."

Thinking of the powder the Empress Dowager had given them, asking them to destroy their own looks and slander the Empress, Concubine Li shrank back in fear.

"Sister... I always feel that the Queen Mother's method... is not suitable for us..."

Concubine Rou's eyes were dark and burning, "Don't be afraid, this medicine is not for us, but for others.

Don't forget, we joined the Queen Mother's army with the goal of seeking wealth and honor by taking risks.

If you don't try hard, do you want to be a noble for the rest of your life, trapped in this small world of Yongshou Palace, waiting for the arrival of the Queen Mother?"
