Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Ruyi looked at Yingpin with some helplessness, as she looked like a newborn calf that was not afraid of a tiger.

This is the case for those who have not experienced cruel palace fighting.

But the emperor just liked Yingpin's innocent appearance, and people's temperament cannot be easily changed, so Ruyi didn't say anything more.

What Yingpin said was actually not wrong. The emperor did value Mongolia and would not easily touch Mongolian concubines.

Look at how in her previous life, Yingpin committed a crime in public and mocked the emperor for being a bad ruler, but the emperor still dared to angrily tell her to go back to the palace and never touched her at all.

You can see that this is true.

As spring turns to summer, the Imperial Garden is full of flowers, one after another, as if they will never stop blooming.

The concubines in the palace are like these flowers, each one beautiful and gorgeous, but the moment they bloom and wither, they will be forgotten like dust.

But when flowers fall, they will bloom again. There is never a shortage of beauties or favorite concubines in the Forbidden City.

After Concubine Cheng passed away, the emperor's interest was not disturbed at all. He still often lingered in the harem, and even the frequency of flipping cards increased slightly.

That day, the emperor went to Yikun Palace to accompany Ruyi after lunch. The two sat opposite each other and talked about their preparations for going to Mulan Paddock.

"My brothers have grown up and it's time to go hunting. Let me see if they have made any progress in their martial arts."

Except for the young Ninth Prince Yongrui, and the newborn Tenth Prince, the Emperor plans to take all the other princes in the palace with him this time.

"Your Majesty, the other princes are fine, but the Seventh Prince Yongrong is still young. I think it would be better for Your Majesty to bring Concubine Chun with you so that she can take care of him.

Although Concubine Chun is suffering from a cough, it is not contagious. Moreover, the climate in Mulan Paddock is suitable and the air is fresh, so I think it will be suitable for Concubine Chun to recuperate. "

Ruyi took advantage of the opportunity to speak to the emperor on behalf of Su Lujun, and the emperor was truly moved.

The emperor's eyes flashed with a trace of imperceptible apology, and then he pretended to be affectionate and said, "I have neglected Concubine Chun because of the mourning period of Empress Xiaoxian.

Now, I might as well take this opportunity to take Concubine Chun out for some relaxation.

However, since Concubine Chun has gone, the mothers of the other princes should also go."

Ruyi nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and said slowly, "That's Concubine Yu and Concubine Hui."

Huifei Gao Xiyue is Yonghuang's adoptive mother. She has been living in seclusion for many years without any desires. But Ruyi knows that she is still a lively person in her heart.

Ruyi mentioned it, and seeing that the emperor did not refuse, she took a chopstick of roasted mutton and continued to test,

"Although there are already three concubines accompanying you, they are getting older after all. The emperor still needs some lively young concubines to accompany him."

The relief and joy in the emperor's eyes did not escape Ruyi's eyes.

Ruyi pretended not to notice and said generously, "Yingpin and Ke Guiren are from Mongolia and are proficient in riding. Your Majesty should take them with you."

"Ruyi, you and I are thinking the same thing. The Qing Dynasty has been in the country for a long time, and I haven't seen the riding skills of grassland women for a long time."

The emperor was delighted, his eyes fell on Ruyi's green lake spring vine twigs brocade banner, and he also praised Ruyi's fragrance.

"Today I smell that you smell particularly good. Did you use the perfume sent from the West?"

Ruyi has never liked the strong, pungent smell of Western perfume.

Especially since I heard that Westerners don't like to take baths, they often use perfume to cover up body odor. After covering up the odor with fragrance, they put the perfume aside.

However, the emperor preferred the strong scent of perfume, and Ruyi did not want to go against his wishes, so she simply said that it was the lotus fragrance that filled the courtyard and she was slightly contaminated.

Rong Pei, who was serving beside her, knew what Ruyi was thinking and changed the subject accordingly.

"Your Majesty, the Queen said that the Western perfume is precious and rare, so the Queen is reluctant to use it.

However, the Western chiming clock that the Emperor gave to you earlier is really liked by the Empress and the Fifth Princess."

"Oh? Jingshu likes it too? I just happened to get a large and a small clock, which means a mother-and-child clock. I'll ask Li Yu to bring it to you later."

Having got what she wanted, Ruyi gently stood up to pour wine for the emperor, and the faint smile on her lips seemed to dazzle the emperor's eyes.

Ruyi always has a calm and cold expression on her face. The unbridled and ostentatious smile she had when she was young is gone, like the setting moon and melting frost.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly, and the light and shadows slanted and penetrated into the hall vigorously, making Ruyi look even more pure and innocent, like a docile jade rabbit.

The emperor was just about to reach out and hold Ruyi's hand and say some tender words to his magnanimous and humble wife, but he was suddenly interrupted by Li Yu's report.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Ying came to pay her respects to Your Majesty and the Empress, and said she would come to serve the meal."

Seeing the emperor's hand retracting uncomfortably, Ruyi actually felt relieved.

She was really tired of pretending to be affectionate with the emperor. The emperor and empress were husband and wife in name, but in reality they were monarch and subject.

In comparison, today's Ruyi is still more willing to fulfill her duties as a subject and select concubines for the emperor.

It's much easier than being a wife and being caught up in jealousy and calculations every day.

Yingpin walked into the palace with a pure and sincere smile on her face. After she bowed and greeted, she took the chopsticks from Rongpei and began to serve food to the emperor and Ruyi.

I don’t know whether Yingpin did it intentionally or unintentionally, but she dropped a piece of lotus white jade meatball with her chopsticks on the ground.

The meatball even bounced a few times and finally fell at Li Yu's feet.

The palace maids in the hall didn't dare to breathe, and Yingpin was also frightened and knelt down to apologize.

Perhaps because Yingpin was in the emperor's good graces, the emperor did not blame her. Instead, he laughed out loud, "Did Yingpin scare Wanzi, or did Wanzi scare Yingpin? Hahahaha."

Seeing that the emperor had no intention of asking for punishment, Yingpin's fear disappeared. She stood up coquettishly, pinched the corner of the emperor's sleeve, and said shyly, "Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me."

In her previous life, if Ruyi saw a concubine dare to flirt with the emperor in front of her, she would be furious.

But now, Ruyi only felt that the scene before her was as interesting as a play, and the food in front of her seemed to be more fragrant.

Yingpin was favored by the emperor and had become the most favored concubine in the palace. However, Yingpin's mother's family was powerful, and she was kind and straightforward, so she had never been envied.

But the Queen Mother eventually found out that Yingpin had once said behind her back about the purple ginseng she had given her.

The Queen Mother had been feeling depressed lately, and her health was getting worse. Even Qi Ru's medicine, which she took in double the dosage, did not help.

Qi Ru said that the Queen Mother had a knot in her heart that could not be cured, and the Queen Mother herself was helpless.

It would have been fine if she had been alienated from the Emperor before, but now a newly promoted concubine dared to doubt her. How could the Empress Dowager tolerate this?

The empress dowager thought about it for a long time, and finally sent someone to invite Lingpin, the option she had once abandoned.
