Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 288 The Imperial Concubine Leaves the Palace
Ruyi's words were sharp and heartbreaking.
But when she heard her talk about the fight for the throne with her without any reservation and analyze the pros and cons, Su Lujun felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"Your Majesty trusts me and values me, so you are speaking to me so clearly. I am not an unreasonable person, so I naturally understand your Majesty's painstaking efforts and good intentions.
To be honest, I know Yongzhang's character very well. Not to mention that the emperor values legitimate sons, let's just talk about the admonition passed down by our ancestors, "The king should choose the wise among the elders."
Yong Zhang is neither the elder nor a virtuous man. I will be content if he can be a respectful and idle prince.
As for Yongrong, he is just a simpleton who only knows how to paint. I sometimes suspect that Yongrong's talent is destined to be the child of Wanpin.
I have never thought about fighting for the throne. As long as the children are safe and sound, and I can see them lead a smooth life, that is enough."
Having said this, Su Lujun took small steps to stand in front of Ruyi and knelt down without waiting for Ruyi to stop her.
"My Queen, Jiangnan is my hometown. I often miss it in my dreams at midnight.
To be honest, if I can't hold on any longer, I really hope to sleep peacefully in the soil of Jiangnan.
However, there is no precedent for a royal concubine to leave the palace, so this matter might put Her Majesty in a difficult position.
However, as long as the Empress is willing to speak to the Emperor on my behalf, I will be grateful for your kindness regardless of success or failure."
After saying this, Su Lujun kowtowed heavily, and her determined look did not seem fake.
Yong Zhang has always been an honest and gentle person, perfectly inheriting Su Lujun's temperament. Ruyi is not afraid of such a person even if he really wants to compete with her.
Now, Su Lujun can think clearly on her own and stay away from the vortex of palace fighting. She would rather live in a corner and enjoy her old age. Ruyi is relieved and happy.
After comforting her with a few words, Ruyi went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity the next day.
The emperor felt guilty for having treated Su Lujun badly in the past and abandoning her in Zhongcui Palace for a long time.
Although there is no precedent for a royal concubine leaving the palace to recuperate, the fact that there has never been one before does not mean that there will never be one in the future.
The Emperor granted the order, taking into consideration Concubine Chun's homesickness that resulted in her recurring cough, and allowed her to go to Jiangnan with Yongzhang for a while, and return to the palace after she had recuperated.
When this decree was issued, not only the harem but also the former dynasty was shocked.
But everyone spoke in unison, praising the emperor for his kindness, generosity and magnanimity towards the imperial concubine, which brought blessings to the world.
For a time, the emperor's reputation reached a new level.
The emperor was overjoyed, but only Ruyi herself knew that her father and brother played a great role in this.
Before the emperor noticed, the Ulanara family had slowly infiltrated the court and began to influence the thoughts of court officials.
When Su Lujun left the palace, several old friends from the palace, including Ruyi, Hailan, Gao Xiyue and Chen Wanyin, came to see her off.
After so many years of getting along, everyone has almost gotten used to each other's personalities and temperaments.
Those little frictions in the past have long been smiled away over the years.
As they grew older, they each had children.
There is a honorable position, glory, wealth, the hope of having offspring, and family and friends.
It can be said that these people have almost everything except loyal husbands.
In this case, it is better to enjoy life leisurely and contentedly than to make a big fuss and get hurt in a fight to win favor.
This time Su Lujun was able to leave the palace to recuperate, and everyone was envious.
Ruyi relaxed her grip, and Hailan used her power as the assistant manager of the six palaces to fill Su Lujun's bag.
From the outside, they looked like just some ordinary luggage, but just by looking at the beads of sweat on the palace maids' foreheads after they carried the gifts, one could guess their weight.
Although the few people said goodbye reluctantly, no matter how reluctant they were in their hearts, they were restrained in their emotions and could only hold hands and shed tears.
Gao Xiyue is not ordinary.
She couldn't stand seeing everyone crying and being so weak, so she raised her eyes and said, "Sister Lujun is going to Jiangnan to enjoy a peaceful life. We should be envious of her, so why should we be sad?
How about we switch gears, leaving Sister Lujun in the Forbidden City looking at the square sky above her head, while Yonghuang and I go to Jiangnan for you?"
Several people burst into laughter, and Ruyi even tapped Gao Xiyue lightly in the air, "You want to change it, but Lujun may not agree."
Gao Xiyue pouted, as if she had some new ideas in her mind, and leaned closer and said, "Empress, why don't you talk to the Emperor on my behalf and ask him to let me go out and play with Yonghuang as well.
After all, I am a weak and sick woman who can’t even lift a finger.”
Looking at Gao Xiyue's pretending to be coquettish, all the sadness of parting disappeared.
After so many years of getting along, everyone has become experienced in the palace, and they all know that there are many unspeakable secrets in Gao Xiyue's illness.
It's just that everyone tacitly agreed not to point it out to each other.
After all, the harmonious and comfortable life we have now is not easy to come by. It is normal for everyone to have some little secrets in their hearts.
Hai Lan adjusted the slightly loose crabapple bead flowers on her temples and couldn't help but smile, "Sister Xiyue, you are thinking very well.
It’s just that, I’m afraid even the Queen can’t help you with your dream.
I heard that Yonghuang has been highly valued by the emperor since he returned from the last battle in Junggar.
The emperor felt that Yonghuang was quite talented in peace negotiations. Not only was he very approachable, but he was also both brave and resourceful.
The envoys from the Khorchin tribe will soon arrive in Beijing. I'm afraid Yonghuang will have to go again to host the reception.
Yonghuang doesn't have the time to go to other places to guard, so you can just stay in the capital and play mahjong with us."
Gao Xiyue giggled and waved her hands, but her face was full of glory because Yonghuang had made progress.
"Look at your chattering little mouth, it's much more pleasant to listen to than before.
However, Yonghuang's thesis is not as knowledgeable as the Empress Yongqi's, and in terms of martial arts, he is not as brave and powerful as Sister Hailan's Yongqi.
It's just that he's older and takes advantage of his age, which is really not worth mentioning."
The few of them kept joking around until Ke Xin couldn't help but whispered in Su Lujun's ear, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
"Speaking of which, besides Yongrong, the people I am most worried about in the Forbidden City are you guys."
Chen Wanyin's eyes were filled with tears as she consoled him, "Sister Lujun, just rest and recover. We will take turns visiting Yongrong at Xiefang Palace and will take good care of him."
Su Lujun nodded, and everyone's eyes were red.
Finally, Ruyi said with a gentle smile, "Well, Lujun is going to recuperate, it's not like we will never see each other again. You guys are making it sound like a farewell, which is unlucky.
The Emperor may intend to tour the south again next year, and we sisters will have a chance to see each other again then."
It was not until the time could no longer be delayed that Su Lujun got into the carriage and took a last deep look at the Forbidden City.
Here is her pain, her tears, her smile, and her first half of life.
Leaving is not the end, but a new beginning for her, Su Lujun.
