Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 312 Crab Feast
Yes, they are all the emperor's children. The fifth prince Yongqi's biological mother is the imperial concubine, and he himself is smart and clever, and is deeply loved by the emperor.
On the other hand, Yongsheng's biological mother was of no help. He had been working hard but was never valued by the emperor. Naturally, he felt resentful.
If Yongqi had not injured Yongsheng due to illness this time, the emperor would probably not even bother to look at Yongsheng a few more times.
Now that Yongqi's condition has improved, the emperor's attitude towards Yongsheng has become indifferent again.
But he couldn't say it clearly, and Concubine Song was tactful enough not to point it out.
Concubine Song's mind was racing, but she didn't show any anger on her face, "I heard that the Emperor has already started preparing to select a wife for the Fourth Prince.
The girls selected were all outstanding, either from noble families or descendants of wealthy families.
The Emperor took into consideration the shyness of the young men and only asked the Empress to arrange for the Fourth Prince to meet the girls first, and also asked the Fifth Prince to accompany him.
It is said that since the Fifth Prince survived a great disaster, he will surely have good fortune in the future.
If any noble lady could be attracted to the Fifth Prince, it would be a perfect match.”
Yongcheng's eyes widened with anger, and he said unwillingly, "Does the Emperor love the fifth brother so much? He even wants to include him in the marriage for the fourth brother?"
Concubine Song continued to instigate without leaving any trace, "Yes, although the Fifth Prince is a bastard like you, and cannot be compared with the Fourth Prince's legitimate son, he is indeed lucky."
Yongsheng finally couldn't bear it any longer and begged Concubine Song to speak to the Emperor on his behalf.
Concubine Song pretended to refuse twice, and Yongsheng said that his men had found a mysterious medicine among the people.
Having sex after taking it can ensure pregnancy at one time. And it can also guarantee pregnancy of a boy.
Not only does this medicine not cause any harm to the mother's body, but it can also keep a woman's appearance young and make her look more beautiful.
Such a good thing, natural medicinal materials are rare and precious, and the extraction is complicated. Yongcheng took the trouble to search for a long time, but he only got one.
After hearing this, Concubine Song was very excited. The two of them looked at each other tacitly and reached a deal.
The pearl curtain flutters across the pink wall, lighter than willow catkins and heavier than frost.
In the clear and crisp autumn season, Ruyi picked a bright and auspicious day and specially selected the clear water hairy crabs tributed from the south of the Yangtze River to hold a crab feast.
It was called a crab feast, but in fact everyone knew that the Queen and the Imperial Concubine were looking for their daughter-in-law. Therefore, the garden was already filled with young and fresh girls of all kinds early in the morning.
Although most of the girls knew that they were just there to serve as a foil, it would be good if they were lucky enough to be favored by the empress or the imperial concubine and be given to the prince as a concubine, or be married to other noblemen.
Seeing that it was still early and the main guests had not arrived yet, the girls spontaneously organized themselves to drink tea, write poetry and chat with each other.
They said they were killing time, but in fact they were just speculating. If there were nobles watching them secretly, they could show off without being noticed.
Ruyi and Hailan were both generous people who would not embarrass their juniors over such a small matter. Therefore, after hearing the servants' report in advance, they just smiled at each other and let them go.
Rong Pei was fiddling with the tray and selecting hair accessories for Ruyi's headdress when she heard Li Yu coming over to pass on a message saying that the Sixth Prince Yongsheng would also go to the crab feast with Yongji and Yongqi.
Hai Lan was startled when she heard this. "Yongcheng is still young, why is he here to join in the fun?"
Li Yu smiled a little embarrassedly, "The emperor said that although Yongcheng is young, a good girl can't wait.
If there is a girl he likes, it doesn't matter if she is a few years older than him. After all, the marriage should be arranged first, and then he can marry her a few years later."
Hai Lan understood at once that the emperor was not such an impatient person, and royal family members never had trouble finding a wife. Such a panicked and flawed excuse must have been found by Yongsheng himself.
"The Emperor suddenly thrust the Sixth Prince into the picture and rushed to marry him off.
If others don't know, they might think that the Queen only cares about the Fourth and Fifth Princes, and deliberately mistreats and excludes the Sixth Prince."
Li Yu apologized with a smile, "Your Highness is joking. The Emperor trusts the Empress and doesn't mean that.
However, Concubine Song may have taken pity on the Sixth Prince for losing his mother when he was young, and because she and he share the same bloodline of the Yu family, so she showed some extra care to him in front of the Emperor. "
Ruyi raised her eyes and saw Li Yu nodded slightly, and she understood.
What Li Yu said was already very simple. If Ruyi is still confused, then it is only because she is stupid.
After dismissing Li Yu, Hai Lan came up impatiently, "Sister, this Concubine Song has already connected with Yong Cheng. What do you think they are going to do?
Could it be that Concubine Song wants to raise the Sixth Prince and be his adoptive mother? But there is only a few years difference between them, how can this be done? "
Ruyi's eyes were deep, "What does it matter if there is a few years difference? When the Empress Dowager was still Concubine Xi, the late Emperor added ten years to her age, and she raised the current Emperor openly.
There is such a precedent, which shows that age is not the key, the key is still the emperor's heart."
"The emperor's heart? But I feel that it is uncertain who the emperor's heart belongs to now."
Hai Lan covered her mouth and smiled softly, "Yesterday, the Jingshifang sent me the records for me to check. I found that the place the emperor goes to most often is no longer Jingyang Palace where Concubine Song is, but Yongshou Palace."
Eyinzhu used some tricks to regain the Sacred Heart. Ruyi had some guesses about it and was not surprised.
A meaningful smile appeared on her lips, and she silently put on the last hairpin.
“Well, it doesn’t matter which of the newcomers is favored, as long as there is someone to serve the emperor.
By the way, the crabs used in this crab feast were specially picked by Lujun.
Hailan, you have to use more today. You can't let her down."
Hailan's smiling eyes were filled with sincerity and warmth, "Of course. Sister Lujun has sent a lot of good things to Beijing since she returned to Jiangnan.
In return for the gift, I also prepared a set of pure gold carved crab-picking tools and some fancy toys popular in Beijing, and sent them back in the name of my sister and myself."
Ruyi nodded and smiled, "You have always been thorough in your work. Although Lujun has been away from Beijing for a long time, our sisterhood cannot be easily severed."
Ruyi and Hailan came together, followed by the three princes Yongqi, Yongqi and Yongsheng.
Yongji and Yongqi were of similar height, with tall and straight figures. They were both vigorous, handsome and elegant young men.
Although Yongsheng was half a head shorter than them due to his age, he looked a little childish.
But his pair of dark eyes, like stars in the cold night, always revealed an elusive and deep temperament that did not belong to his age.
