Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Just running away is not a solution after all.

In this palace, concubines who have no favor and no one to rely on can be bullied by everyone, and their lives are even worse than those of servants.

After eating several meals of cold rice and leftovers, Concubine Rou finally came to her senses.

She began to use the little money she had left to bribe her servants, trying to find a way out for herself.

One afternoon after the snow had stopped and the sky was clear, with the cold snow falling continuously, Concubine Rou found out that the Emperor had gone to Concubine Ying's place to barbecue and build snowmen.

So he spent a lot of money to find a few live pheasants from the Imperial Household Department, and shamelessly knocked on the door of Qixiang Palace.

The palace gate was only half opened for her. Standing at the door were Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke. Both of them were dressed in Mongolian costumes, which was very novel and special.

In contrast, Concubine Rou's exquisitely dressed, thin Manchu dress with the color of green willows and plum blossoms reflecting the snow, seemed somewhat out of place.

But since she was already here, Concubine Rou still put on a friendly smile, relying on her position and seniority and said, "Sister Ying, Sister Ke, what a coincidence that you are all here.

I had been planning to pay my respects to the Queen, but when I passed by this place, I smelled a strong aroma of barbecue, which made me feel itchy.

Suddenly I remembered that I just got some fresh pheasants yesterday, so I decided to use them to have some fun with my sisters."

In the face of Concubine Rou's "condescending" flattery, Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke remained cold-faced, as if they were unmoved.

"I don't understand what Noble Lady Rou said. What do you mean by coincidence that you are all here? This is my Qixiang Palace. If I'm not here, where else can I be?

Ke Changzai is very good at making milk tea, so I specially invited her to serve the emperor together.

Why did Concubine Rou come here uninvited? Is this the custom in Jiangnan? I have never seen it before."

Concubine Ying is a Mongolian woman. Her mother's family is very powerful and she is also very straightforward. She doesn't like to see Concubine Rou acting so pretentiously and her words are not very polite.

Concubine Rou felt embarrassed, but she still bit her lip and said, "Sister, you really misunderstood me.

We are both concubines, and it is our duty to serve the emperor together. In the future, we will have to live together in this palace day and night, so why do you have to be so harsh and keep me at a distance everywhere, sister? "

Ke Chang put his hands in his snow-white gloves and said disdainfully, "We both serve the emperor, but our ways of serving are very different.

When the emperor is with us, he only builds snowmen, drinks milk tea, and eats barbecue. He won't summon the sisters for sex overnight, and drink alcohol laced with drugs, causing his body to become unwell..."

Concubine Ying frowned and scolded, "Sister Ke, be careful with your words. Have you forgotten what Concubine Yu originally told you not to believe those rumors outside."

Then he said with a hint of meaning, "Lady Rou is a pure, clean and decent person.

Aren't you afraid of polluting the ears of Lady Rou by saying such frivolous words?"

Ke Chang was standing behind Concubine Ying, and upon hearing this he could only lower his head and smile silently.

Rougui was so angry that she almost went mad, but she couldn't prove her innocence, and she couldn't find a way to refute it.

She just felt that the two people in front of her were both rude and sharp-tongued, and they were a bunch of snakes and rats who were in cahoots with each other.

The sisters Ying and Ke Chang were always bullying each other, which made Rou think of Li Shuren. If Li Shuren was still by her side, two against two, why would she be bullied like this?

Concubine Rou smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to do. Concubine Ying saw that she was boring and told her to leave.

Ke Changzai, who was behind Concubine Ying, did not forget to say to the maid beside him, "Okay, close the palace gate tightly. I heard that there are wild cats in the palace.

The fat sheep we are roasting this time is a tribute from Chahar, and there is only one. We can't let the smell of roast meat spread out and attract things that shouldn't come."

After being rejected, Rougui's originally pretty face looked a little distorted.

But she didn't realize that this was just the beginning.

Concubine Rou abandoned Concubine Li, thinking that she would not be affected, but she did not expect that she would continue to suffer from contempt and cold treatment in the future.

In a blink of an eye, it was the hundredth day celebration of Shupin Ninth Prince. The emperor personally gave the Ninth Prince the name Yongrui, which means auspiciousness and health.

At the same time, a grand ceremony was held for Yihuan, officially conferring her the title of Shufei.

The concubines were extremely envious, and the Chuxiu Palace was suddenly packed with people.

Wei Yanwan was naturally envious.

But she understood that when she gave birth to Jingyan, she had already been promoted from a noble lady to a concubine.

Now there are all four concubines in the palace. She can only have the possibility of making further progress when someone among the concubines is promoted to a higher position, or someone is pulled down, leaving a vacancy.

Wei Yanwan touched the black rabbit in her arms and said quietly, "Xing'er, how is things going at Jingyang Palace?"

Although Concubine Cheng was under house arrest during her pregnancy, she knew that, for her, house arrest was actually another form of protection.

Xing'er said, "I have always followed the master's orders and have never relaxed my surveillance of Jingyang Palace.

A few days ago, the people I sent out discovered that someone was secretly delivering food and medicinal materials to Jingyang Palace.

Perhaps those people thought that no one would pay attention to the daily life of the confined concubine, so I easily found out that those people were from the Cining Palace.

My Lord, if the Queen Mother wants to protect Concubine Cheng, it will be difficult for us to do so."

Wei Yanwan's eyes were cold, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Even if it's difficult to do it, we have to find a chance to do it.

If Concubine Cheng really gives birth to a prince and is promoted to Imperial Concubine, then I will be completely helpless against her.

I have been planning for so long, I cannot let this go to waste. I just need to keep a close eye on Jingyang Palace.

Killing someone means paying with one's life, that is only natural. I will never let Concubine Cheng live so comfortably forever."

Xing'er gently massaged Wei Yanwan's shoulders and said softly, "Of course there is a chance. I got some news from Chunchan last time. Would you like to listen to it, Master?"

"Spring Chan? The Queen never tells me useless news. Tell me quickly." Wei Yanwan became interested and sat up straighter.

It turned out that there was unrest in Junggar again.

After the death of the former leader of the Dzungar tribe, he left behind three sons.

The eldest son, Dorza, was born out of wedlock and according to ancestral rules he was not allowed to take the throne; the second son, Namjaar, was supported to become the new Khan because of his mother's nobility; and the younger brother, Tsewangdash, was even less outstanding in comparison.

Later, it is unknown what kind of trouble happened within the Dzungar Khanate, but the brother-in-law of the second son Namjaar actually helped the eldest son Dorja to kill his brother, destroy the Khan, and finally ascend the throne.

The eldest son Dorza succeeded in gaining power, but his authority was not legitimate and he was repeatedly opposed by internal unrest in Dzungar.

At that time, in order to quell the internal strife in Dzungar, the Qing Dynasty married the Empress Dowager's own daughter, Princess Duanshu, to Dorja as a conciliatory marriage.
