Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The banquet was held in a pavilion by the water, surrounded by buildings on three sides and one of them was the imperial lake in the palace.

There are rockeries and stone forests lined up in the middle, the environment is elegant and charming, very leisurely and calm.

After some polite words, Ruyi announced the start of the banquet.

The banquet process was complicated and ordinary. It was nothing more than the girls reciting poems and composing essays, showing off their talents, showing off in front of the Queen and the Imperial Concubine, and striving to gain fame.

Some of the girls played the piano, some sang, some danced, and some splashed ink.

The three girls that Ruyi favored the most did not show any signs of being particularly competitive. They just acted within the rules and did not give people any room for gossip. They just stopped at the right time.

Ruyi was secretly satisfied.

As a daughter-in-law of the royal family, those talents are just icing on the cake. The most important thing is to be steady, virtuous, and know how to act and retreat appropriately.

The young girls showed themselves to their heart's content, which made Ruyi and Hailan watch with great interest and admiration.

During this period, Yongqi and Yongcheng kept interacting with the girls, showing their gentlemanly demeanor, but Yongqi seemed a little absent-minded.

Hai Lan noticed this and thought that Yong Qi was uncomfortable because he had been sitting still for a long time due to his illness.

So, she whispered a few words to Ruyi, and the two of them found an excuse to leave early, leaving the banquet for the young people to communicate on their own.

Without the pressure from their elders, the nervous expressions of the girls in the audience were obviously relieved a lot, and their true personalities were gradually exposed.

Behind the screen of a tall building, Ruyi and Hailan were cracking melon seeds and listening to the palace servants reporting on the performance of several princes.

Yongqi took care of Yongqi's leg disease and stayed with him all the time. The two were inseparable.

Many girls took the initiative to come forward and talk to the two princes, and Yongqi responded very well.

Irgen Jueluo was wearing a bright goose yellow Manchu dress, and her appearance was very bright and lovely.

Perhaps because she was favored by her family, she had a very cheerful personality and was very sociable. Like a delicate forsythia blooming in the sun, she was the most dazzling person in the crowd.

Many girls gathered around her, complimenting her clothes and flattering her looks.

Irgen Jueluo was proud of his noble status and accepted the praise from others with ease.

When facing the two princes Yongji and Yongqi, Irgen Jueluo was not at all stage fright. After bowing gracefully, she talked to the two princes freely and handled the situation with ease.

It was just obvious that she cared more about Yongqi, and her words were mostly to cater to or praise his literary talent and knowledge.

Yongqi was originally worried that Yongqi would be jealous, but fortunately Yongqi didn't care about that, "Fourth brother, you are the legitimate son and the noble son, it is natural for others to value you.

If I want to eat my heart, wouldn’t I have to eat it from childhood to adulthood, and then from adulthood to old age, endlessly?”

Yongqi chuckled and patted Yongqi's shoulder gently, "Brothers like you and I have been close since childhood, so you don't have to care about those false theories about legitimate and illegitimate children.

I know you have someone in your heart, so you don’t care how other women treat you.”

Seeing that Yongqi was in the mood to joke, Yongji couldn't help but tease him a few times.

Unexpectedly, Yongqi, who had been indifferent, suddenly turned red, pulled Yongji's sleeve and told him to stop talking.

"Fourth brother...don't...I don't know where the Empress Dowager and her people are watching us. If they find out, I'm afraid they won't allow it..."

Yongqi knew the difference between the important and the unimportant. He knew that there were many people here, so he instantly froze his teasing eyes and laughed it off.

Yongqi was bored and wanted to go back early, but Yongqi remembered Ruyi's request and took him to meet Xilin Gioro and Niuhulu again.

Compared with Irgen Gioro, Xilin Gioro's aura was slightly weaker, but she could be considered gentle, docile and dignified.

She was wearing a conventional light pink dress. Although her appearance was not particularly beautiful, her rosy cheeks were as charming and shy as peach blossoms.

When Yongqi first met her, he felt an indescribable and inexplicable touch.

Although Yongqi was very sure, he had never met Xilin Gioro.

But the feeling of déjà vu lingered in his mind, causing him to feel a sudden liking for the docile woman in front of him, and he felt that the person in front of him looked very friendly.

Yongqi was indifferent to Xilin Gioro. He just nodded respectfully as a return gesture, then stepped back unnoticed and served as Yongji's background.

Yongqi was still daydreaming about his own affairs when he saw a slender figure coming before him. It was Nianhulu.

Niuhulu dressed simply, in a plain dress and without any makeup on her face, looking like a beauty as cold and pure as the moon.

But such an extraordinary outfit actually stands out among a group of beautiful girls in all the colors of flowers and willows.

Niuhulu's deer-like eyes were full of tears, making her look particularly pitiful.

She apologized, saying that she had always been weak and didn't like to move, and couldn't stand for long.

Then, she bowed to the princes like a weak willow in the wind, and sat alone in the corner, sipping her tea by herself.

After sitting there for a long time, and only after Yongji and Yongqi left, Niuhulu sighed, supported her weak body, and prepared to leave.

She had been in poor health since childhood. If she had not been the only woman of marriageable age in the Niuhulu clan, it would not have been her turn to enter the palace this time.

A Taoist priest once calculated for her and said that she was born with a noble destiny and her family background and husband must be extremely noble.

But unfortunately, she had a heart disease since she was born.

If you are free from worries, you can still live to be fifty years old. But if you worry and strain your mind, you will be like a candle, shining brightly for a short time before turning into ashes.

She originally thought that she could just go through the motions in public with her sick and disabled body and let her family do the job.

Unexpectedly, a bright color suddenly flashed by and stopped her in her tracks.

When I raised my eyes and looked at each other, it was actually the Sixth Prince Yongsheng?

"Greetings, Sixth Prince." Although Niuhulu was frail, she was meticulous in etiquette.

Yongcheng's eyes lit up.

Although the woman in front of him looked somewhat unhealthy and sickly, she was still young after all, and her skin was as white and delicate as the finest newly polished Hetian jade.

Different from other healthy and energetic girls, Niuhulu had a unique beauty of a sick beauty.

"You recognize me?"

Facing Yongcheng's question, Niuhulu's pale and thin face flushed, "Yes.

Before entering the palace, my father was afraid that he would offend someone if he didn't recognize the nobles, so he sent a few portraits. Among them, there was the Sixth Prince..."

"Hahaha, you are honest."

Yongcheng smiled heartily, and then found a topic to talk to Nianhulu for a long time.

It was not until the maidservant beside Niuhulu reminded him that it was time for his princess to take medicine that Yongsheng let her go.

The young eunuch beside Yongcheng came forward with a smile and asked, "Do you like that girl?"
