Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 3: A Self-sacrifice to Get a Promotion
Hai Lan shook her head, tears in her eyes, "Empress Xian, I am so happy that you can be successfully canonized as a concubine."
In her previous life, Hai Lan paid a lot for the relationship between her and Ruyi, and Ruyi saw it all and kept it in her heart.
But in this life, without the imperial concubine's troubles, the humiliation of Hongluo Tan, and the cold palace rain, Hailan didn't know when she would grow up.
It seems that Ruyi will have to find more opportunities in the future to let Hailan see clearly as soon as possible that fighting is inevitable in this harem.
Ruyi and Hailan entered the inner hall hand in hand and gave instructions to the servants.
"A Ruo, take Ye Xin and Xiang Yun to clean up the East Side Hall and give it to Hai Changzai to live in.
Suo Xin, Hai Changzai loves milk cake the most, go ask the kitchen to make some and bring it over as soon as possible."
A Ruo and Suo Xin retreated in response.
"Empress Xian, you are the only one in this palace who remembers that I love to eat milk cake." Hai Lan looked at Ruyi with moved eyes.
"Hai Lan, you keep calling me madam and concubine, which makes us feel alienated.
Now that you are here, we two will live in the same palace. Are you still worried that you will not have milk cakes to eat in the future?" Ruyi joked.
Hailan nodded with a smile, but after a while, her expression slowly dimmed.
Seeing this, Ruyi asked in confusion, "Hai Lan, what's wrong with you?"
"Sister, do you know that Huipin, whose rank is lower than yours, moved into the elegant and luxurious Xianfu Palace?
She relied on her position as a flag bearer to ridicule my sister. I was dissatisfied and said a few words to her, and she punished me by making me kneel at the gate of Xianfu Palace for a long time.
That’s why I was delayed in coming to pay my respects to my sister.”
"Is there such a thing?" Ruyi picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"It's really outrageous that Huipin dared to embarrass the people in my palace on her first day in the palace. Hailan, what do you think?"
Hai Lan was a little confused when she heard this, "Me? Although I feel angry, she is a concubine and I am a concubine. Naturally, I have to be more tolerant.
I will try to avoid her from now on and only stay with my sister in the Yanxi Palace. I think she won’t bully me anymore.”
Listening to Hai Lan's innocent words, Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.
In her previous life, she also had this idea, always giving in and avoiding their attacks. But the result was that they persecuted her even more severely.
"Hai Lan, have you heard of the saying that goes, 'Good people are often bullied, and good horses are often ridden? '" Ruyi began to persuade her patiently.
Hailan nodded in confusion.
"If you keep giving in, others will think you are weak and easy to bully.
If you don't fight back effectively, the first thing others will think of doing is to take it out on you when they are unhappy about something in the future.
Hailan, this is only our first day living in this palace, you have to make plans for your future life."
"Sister, are you saying that I should fight back?" Hai Lan said with confusion, "But how can I fight back as a regular resident?"
Ruyi looked at Hailan's knees and said, "Your weakness and beauty are both your weapons. It all depends on whether you can be ruthless enough."
At night, lights were lit everywhere in the palace.
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the emperor was still reviewing memorials by burning lamp oil.
The emperor had just ascended the throne and was busy with many things, so he felt upset.
Li Yu opened the curtain and came forward to report, "Your Majesty, Empress Xian and Consort Hai are here. They said they personally made ginseng chicken soup, which is the best for improving eyesight and replenishing qi. They came to pay their respects to you."
"Oh? Please come in quickly." The emperor was worried that he had no excuse to rest, so he hurriedly stood up when he saw this.
Ruyi brought Hailan into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, and they both knelt down to pay their respects.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to His Majesty."
"Get up." The emperor helped Ruyi up with his own hands, his face full of smiles.
"Ruyi, it's amazing that you still think about me. It's so late, and you still make soup for me. Thank you for your hard work."
Ruyi smiled and responded, "The emperor has just ascended the throne and is very busy. There is nothing else I can do but try my best to satisfy the emperor's five internal organs."
"Hahahaha, Ruyi, among all the people in the harem, you are the only one who wins my heart."
The emperor was delighted, took Ruyi's hand, and led her inside. He did not even glance at Hailan the whole time.
Ruyi lowered her eyes and gave Hailan a look.
Hailan understood and let out a soft "hiss" of surprise.
The emperor seemed to have just discovered Hai Lan and asked in surprise, "Hai Changzai, what's wrong with you?"
Hai Lan just shook her head stubbornly, and stood up tremblingly with Ye Xin's support, without saying a word.
"Your Majesty, Hai Changzai went to Changchun Palace to pay a visit to the Queen today. On the way out, he passed by Huipin's Xianfu Palace.
I don't know how I offended Huipin, but she made me kneel at the gate of Xianfu Palace as punishment."
As Ruyi spoke, she stepped forward and lifted up Hailan's skirt, revealing her bruised knee.
"Your Majesty, look, Hai Changzai's knees are swollen from kneeling. Hai Changzai is a member of my palace. She was punished by Huipin, and I am also responsible.
So today, I am here to apologize to the Emperor."
As she spoke, Ruyi was about to kneel down, but the emperor raised his hand to stop her.
"Ruyi, I know this is not your fault. Huipin has always been straightforward, and Hai Changzai must have been wronged.
Ruyi, your position is higher than Huipin's, but she still dares to target the people in your palace like this. She really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter.
Li Yu, pass on my order. Hai Changzai is gentle and modest, so he is promoted to a noble lady.
Huipin has a reckless personality. After the enthronement ceremony is over, let her stay in her own palace for three days. She is not allowed to go out without my order. "
"Yes." Li Yu accepted the order and turned to leave the Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, the enthronement ceremony has not yet been held, but you have already been promoted to the position of Concubine Hai. Huipin's father will be dissatisfied if he finds out." Ruyi advised in a virtuous manner.
"He is a subject, and I am the emperor. I have just given the Gao family the honor of raising the flag, and he is going to be dissatisfied with me because of other trivial matters?" The emperor said in a pretended angry tone.
"Ruyi, I know you think about me in everything. I just hope you can understand my intentions. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Ruyi smiled as the emperor embraced her in his arms, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.
In her previous life, Ruyi believed the emperor's lies and became sad and desperate every day.
Ruyi now doesn't believe a single word of it.
After returning to the Yanx Palace and dismissing the servants, Ruyi personally applied medicine to Hailan's knee.
Hai Lan wanted to refuse at first, but seeing Ruyi insisted, she said nothing more.
"Sister, thanks to you, I was able to be promoted today. Today is the first time I know that no matter how small an ant is, it can shake a big tree."
Ruyi smiled and said, "Hai Lan, you have suffered a lot today. You must be in pain after suffering such a flesh wound."
Hailan shook her head, and there seemed to be a gleam in her eyes.
"Sister, I'm not in pain. I'm just very excited. I've been humiliated so much by Huipin in the past years. Today I finally feel relieved.
If it means Huipin will be punished, I will be willing to do so even if my knees are broken."
