Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

She had always known that Yongqi was deeply in the emperor's favor. If he had not died young in his previous life, the throne would probably have been his.

If Yongqi's wish is fulfilled now and Tian Yun'er is made his legitimate wife, Yongqi will probably have a hard time competing with Yongqi in the future.

Ruyi is just an ordinary person, so she naturally has her own selfish desires. But she is not so short-sighted.

"Yongqi, the emperor is in his prime, how can he talk about the matter of succession?

There is no one else here today, so I will pretend that I have never heard anything. You must not talk nonsense outside, so as not to be used by someone with ulterior motives, understand?"

Yongqi knew that he had said something wrong and did not dare to refute Ruyi's words. He just bowed his head and admitted his mistake obediently.

Ruyi sighed and said earnestly, "Yongqi, you know that the emperor is planning to arrange marriages for you princes.

Although I don't know which girl the emperor intends to marry you as his principal wife, it definitely won't be Tian.

You must not disobey the emperor at this critical moment. Otherwise, with the emperor's methods, if you offend him, it won't be solved by a few slaps.

To put it another way, it would not be difficult for the emperor to let a little girl die quietly."

"The Emperor, he..." Yongqi looked up suddenly. He wanted to say that the Emperor would not.

But when she thought of the emperor's usually cold and ruthless character and his decisiveness in doing what he meant, she swallowed the words back.

He clenched his fists tightly, veins popped out on his forehead, and he looked like a leopard who was enduring a dilemma and suppressing his will.

"However, Tian was once influenced by his master, Doctor Luo, who said that in Western countries, a man is only worthy of one woman. There is only a wife, no concubines.

I am also willing to be with her forever. As long as I have Tian, ​​it will be enough. I...I am unwilling to break my oath and her expectations..."

When Ruyi heard these familiar words, she finally realized how ridiculous she was at that time.

When she first entered the palace in her previous life, she became the Emperor's Concubine Xian, and she had heard Lang Shining say the same thing.

At that time, she, like Tian Yuner now, took those nonsense words as the golden rule and believed them without a doubt.

She even ran before the emperor, and in a desperate and unreasonable manner, she wanted to make him agree with her point of view.

However, the emperor is an emperor after all, and only by being ruthless can he stay on the throne for a long time. Ruyi finally got a setback.

Ruyi could no longer remember how childish and ridiculous she was at that time.

But Yongqi is different from the emperor. He is a man who values ​​friendship and keeps his promises.

Then would his and Tian Yuner’s ending be different?

Before Ruyi could come to her senses, she saw Hai Lan stand up with her hands in front of her, a determined look in her red eyes.

She said softly, "Forget it, if you really like Tian, ​​I will ask the Emperor for you personally.

Even if I lose my position as a concubine, I will definitely help you two lovers to be together."

Ruyi and Yongqi both looked at Hailan in surprise.

Tears instantly blurred Yongqi's eyes. He knelt down and cried, tugging at Hailan's skirt, "Mother... that's not what I meant..."

Hailan gently helped Yongqi up, straightened the wrinkles on his collar, and holding back tears, she said kindly, "Mother hopes that you can achieve great things, but she also hopes that you are healthy and happy.

If being with Tian is more important than anything else in your heart, then mother..."

Yongqi bit his lips tightly, feeling extremely conflicted.

The love between the two mother and son is so deep that it is hard to express it in words. Only Ruyi can see clearly from the side that Hailan's move is clearly a retreat to advance, hoping that Yongqi will retreat on his own.

I just don’t know what choice Yongqi will make in the end.

Ruyi tactfully retreated to the side room, leaving the mother and son enough space to be alone.

There was silence in the Yanxi Palace for a long time.

It was so long that when Yongqi came out, Yongji, who had been guarding the palace door, felt his feet go numb.

"Fifth brother, are you okay?"

Yongqi met Yongji's cautious and worried eyes and said with a wry smile, "Fourth brother, I plan to ask the emperor in a few days to ask for permission to go to the border to garrison and gain experience. I don't think I will be able to come back for five to ten years."

Yongqi was puzzled. "It's bitterly cold in the borderland, and your legs haven't fully recovered yet. Why do you suddenly want to go to such a far place?"

Yongqi's voice was as hard as stones scratching on a cliff, but his eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water brushed by the breeze.

Yongqi volunteered to go to the frontier to suffer.

In this way, no pampered daughter would be willing to go with him, and the Emperor's marriage arrangement for him could be postponed.

At the same time, he could also make the emperor look at him with new eyes. If he achieved something, it would also make Hailan and Jinghuan's life in the palace better.

However, this was unfair to Tian Yuner. Yongqi planned to take her away on the grounds that he needed Tian Yuner to help him treat his leg disease.

When they arrived at the frontier, the emperor was far away, so Yongqi took her in as a concubine. He had no wife or concubine, and no other concubines around him. Tian Yuner was his only woman.

It is impossible to have only a wife and no concubines. Yongqi chose to have only concubines and no wife.

Although the method was a bit circuitous, Yongqi also fulfilled a man's promise to marry only one woman in another way.

Yongqi sighed endlessly.

He didn't understand why love in the world had such magic that it could make a person who was usually rational and clear-headed willing to take more detours to pursue it.

In his eyes, having three wives and four concubines is common. Although love is more valuable than gold, if you want to be able to keep the things you cherish in your heart, you still have to rely on power and status.

Although the two brothers have very different ideas, their many years of friendship are not fake.

Before Yongqi left, Yongji got him drunk all night long, and secretly stuffed a lot of precious medicinal herbs into Yongqi's bag. Then he sent him all the way out of the city and watched Yongqi leave from afar.

The Forbidden City, clad in silver, appears even more solemn and desolate than usual.

The snowflakes fell down, seeming to penetrate into people's hearts and make them chilling to the bone.

A hint of cool air drifted in through the gaps in the thick cotton door curtain, and was quickly melted into a light mist by the temperature of the red charcoal in the hall, and dissipated silently into the air.

Ruyi was holding a bowl of snow pear soup and sipping it. When she saw Yongqi coming in, she hurriedly asked Rongpei to bring him a bowl as well to warm him up.

"Yongji, you seem to be in a bad mood today. Is it because Yongqi is gone that you feel sad?

Yongqi nodded, then shook his head slightly, "The book says that all good things must come to an end. The book also says that we will meet again in this world.

Although I am sad to say goodbye to my fifth brother, I also know that as long as we are willing, we will meet again one day.

I just saw that there were very few people seeing my fifth brother off today. I felt a little emotional for a moment."
