Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The wind drove the rain down on the high city, and the clouds pressed lightly with the sound of thunder.

A sudden downpour accompanied by a chilly wind broke the tranquility of the Forbidden City.

On the long street that was originally crowded with people, only a few palace servants who were drenched by the heavy rain were left, hurrying back and forth.

As soon as Wei Yanwan came out of the Cining Palace, she saw heavy rain everywhere.

Although Xing'er held an umbrella and tried her best to shield Wei Yanwan from the wind and rain, a few drops of rain still flowed over the edge of the umbrella and wet the hem of Wei Yanwan's skirt.

She was wearing a dark blue cheongsam with a slanting collar and dark patterns today, but after being soaked by the rain, the blue color turned into a bright green.

It's like a moss that is almost melting into the rain in the damp wind and rain.

The rain was so heavy that Wei Yanwan had to find a corridor to take shelter temporarily.

But just as they hid in the corridor and had no time to wipe the water off their bodies with a towel, they heard a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice suddenly heard.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Madam Lingpin."

Wei Yanwan was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and saw Ling Yunche's slightly thin but angular face under a conical official hat covered with red tassels.

Ling Yunche has now been working in the military camp for many years.

After years of wind and sun, he has lost the innocent youthfulness he had when he was a guard in the palace and has become more steady and solid.

It's like a sharp sword. Even if it's not unsheathed, one can imagine the sharpness contained in it.

Wei Yanwan was filled with emotion, and her eyes unconsciously turned slightly red.

Xing'er has a very good eye.

She knew that Wei Yanwan must have something to say to Ling Yunche, so she looked around, and seeing that there was no one around, she quietly retreated to the corner to keep watch for the two of them.

Wei Yanwan wanted to ask Ling Yunche how he had been doing over the years, but after all she had a lot to say, she ended up being speechless.

"I heard that the emperor wants to grant you a marriage, and the one he has chosen is Miss Mao Qian, the imperial maid.

I heard that Maoqian's father holds an official position, and his status is much better than mine.

Congratulations in advance."

Ling Yunche had never thought that the first thing she said would be about this matter, and said with a wry smile, "Madam Lingpin, why do you have to tease me? I have no intention of getting married.

Today, I have already rejected the Emperor's marriage proposal in the Yangxin Palace."

"Reject the marriage?" Wei Yanwan stared in surprise.

"If it weren't for Princess Duanshu's plea, you would still be suffering in prison. How dare you disobey the emperor and disobey his order?"

Ling Yunche did not explain too much. Although his knee was still aching, he felt warm in his heart when he heard Wei Yanwan's concern.

There is naturally a price to pay for disobeying an order.

Ling Yunche's reason to the emperor was that his body had collapsed long ago on the battlefield where swords and spears were ruthless, and he also had a hidden illness, so he was afraid that he would not be able to give Mao Qian a happy life in the future.

Although the emperor understood the meaning of his words, he was still offended.

Disobeying the emperor's order is a capital crime, but in view of Hengchu's plea, the emperor will not really take Ling Yunche's life.

So he just ordered him to kneel outside the Yangxin Palace for most of the day. It was not until the heavy rain came that the emperor reluctantly calmed down and let him go.

However, Ling Yunche kept these things deep in his heart and did not intend to tell Wei Yanwan.

Seeing Ling Yunche remained silent for a long time, Wei Yanwan didn't know what she was thinking of, she just sneered, "Yes, you have been appointed as a general now, and you have a promising future. How could you be willing to marry a palace maid again?"

Ling Yunche did not defend himself at all. His tone was cold and desolate as he said, "Your Highness, you only need to know that I have no intention of getting married right now."

Ling Yunche's polite and distant attitude made Wei Yanwan feel cold.

Yes, now one of them is a minister and the other is a palace concubine, they should never have any contact with each other.

It was really rude of her to ask so aggressively.

But Wei Yanwan was unwilling to be alienated by Ling Yunche like this. She pursed her lips and reached out to catch the raindrops falling from the eaves.

The jade beads fell on her tender white palms, splashing white water.

"Jingyan likes such gloomy rainy days the most. When it rains, the koi in the pond of Chengqian Palace will float to the surface and swim around actively.

Every time she sees a scene like that, Jingyan always laughs non-stop. "

Wei Yanwan talked about Jingyan without any context. Ling Yunche didn't understand what she meant and only agreed, "The Sixth Princess is cute and smart. It's because Concubine Ling has taught her well."

Wei Yanwan slowly approached Ling Yunche as if she was confused.

At this moment, her eyes were full of charming luster like autumn water, and her red lips on her fair face were like a dot of cinnabar, revealing a dangerous beauty.

"Ling Yunche, actually..."

"Master, someone is coming!" Wei Yanwan was interrupted hastily by Xing'er before she could finish her words.

In such a secluded corner, the palace concubines and ministers took shelter from the rain together.

Even if Xing'er was by her side, she was Wei Yanwan's personal maid, and everyone would assume that she would protect Wei Yanwan.

If this matter were seen by someone with ulterior motives and spread as a rumor, it might be turned into some erotic anecdote.

If the news reached the emperor's ears, given his suspicious nature, Ling Yunche might be able to rely on Princess Duanshu's protection and escape.

But Wei Yanwan will definitely die without a burial place.

It doesn't matter if she dies, but if Jingyan is implicated...

Wei Yanwan didn't dare to think too much. In panic, she had to be pulled by Xing'er and rushed back into the rain. Her figure soon blurred and disappeared in the pouring rain.

But after a moment, a sweet voice came.

"Your servant Maoqian greets Lord Ling. Eh? Are you alone here? I seemed to see someone else beside you just now..."

"Oh, that was Concubine Ling and her maid who happened to pass by. She had something urgent to do, so she didn't stay."

Ling Yunche casually covered for Wei Yanwan, and then asked respectfully, "Miss Maoqian, you came to see me, but what does the emperor want?"

Mao Qian just raised her eyes to glance at Ling Yunche's handsome face, then stretched out her hands with two red clouds on her cheeks.

The girl's shy voice sounded like the sound of spring water, "Nothing, I saw it was raining outside, so I brought you an umbrella."

Ling Yunche did not reach out to take it, but took a half step back and declined coldly, "I see, thank you Miss Maoqian for your kindness.

But I have already made a plea to the Emperor, and in order to avoid damaging the girl's reputation, we should not meet in private in the future."

The Emperor's decree to grant marriage to Ling Yunche and Mao Qian has not been issued, and now everything in the palace is just a rumor.

Mao Qian was, after all, a well-known imperial maid, and to save her face, Ling Yunche spoke very tactfully.

But no matter how profound the words were, Mao Qian immediately understood what he meant.
