Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

In Jingyang Palace, Concubine Song had just used water mixed with rose juice to wash her pair of white and tender hands.

Her hands were narrow and slender, her skin was plump and smooth, her fingertips were slender, and although her nails were not painted with chrysanthemum, they were trimmed into the shape of almonds, which was simple and elegant yet delicate.

Lady Song was always proud of her hands and took great care of them. Not only did she not bump them, she also applied lotion on them every day to take good care of them.

But at this moment, Concubine Song was wiping every inch of her skin on her hands carefully with a handkerchief.

After wiping for a long time, she threw the handkerchief on the table. A closer look revealed disgust in her eyes.

Cai En picked up the handkerchief and said, "My dear, Lady Ning is not favored, why do you have to dirty your hands and apply medicine to her stinky feet?"

Concubine Song picked up a small silver carrying pole, scooped a spoonful of cream from the carved enamel porcelain box, gently applied it on her hands, and rubbed it carefully.

"Although Lady Ning is not favored, I think she lives a very transparent life."

Concubine Song's eyes were deep as she recalled what she had just said to Concubine Ning.

As the emperor grew older, he became less and less able to handle matters between men and women.

Not only did he reduce the frequency of turning over the cards every month, he also became less and less willing to keep the concubines overnight. In the late night, he would always find some government affairs or other reasons to carry the concubines out of the Yangxin Palace.

But now the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. Even though Concubine Song and Concubine Ning do not understand the government, they can guess that there must be something fishy going on.

The reason why this cannot be told to outsiders is that the emperor's health is not as good as before.

Concubine Ning complained with a sad face, saying that the Emperor only finally called her name once every few months.

As a result, while the two of them were whispering to each other, before her bellyband was untied, the emperor's face changed and he pushed her away.

The emperor explained that he was too tired from reading memorials last night and needed to rest, so he asked the eunuch to take her out again.

This matter was humiliating. If it weren't for Concubine Song's words today, which made the relationship between the two of them closer, Concubine Ning would have been unwilling to speak of it.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Song comforted her with kind words and also told her about her own troubles.

It turned out that she had experienced something similar when she was serving the emperor in bed.

Although the emperor looked fine on the outside, he always had a reason when it came to the critical moment in bed.

Either there were urgent government affairs to deal with, or Concubine Yu or other concubines had been pestering him for too long, causing him to feel tired.

The two of them were talking about it in private. After all, if such a thing were to get out, it would not only damage the emperor's reputation, but they might also lose their lives.

I don’t know if it was because Concubine Ning had been keeping her worries to herself for too long, but when she met Concubine Song, she just poured out her heart out.

Concubine Ning said frankly that the most favored person in the palace was Concubine Yu, and now she was pregnant. She suspected that Concubine Yu had used some means to make the emperor only treat her well.

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

Concubine Song’s mind is now filled with Concubine Ning’s speculation.

Concubine Song is now anxious about getting pregnant, but the Emperor won't cooperate, so it's useless for her to worry.

If she could really find some evidence that E Yin Zhu used dishonorable means to win favor, perhaps there would be a chance for a turnaround...

Once the urgent idea arises, it grows wildly like bamboo shoots after the spring rain.

However, the guess provided by Lady Ning was too vague and hard to find. Lady Song sent Cai En to investigate for a long time, but there was no clue.

Spring is coming and summer is approaching.

As the days passed, Eyinzhu's belly swelled visibly.

The Emperor doted on her very much, and even though summer was approaching and Eyinzhu was already very pregnant, he still insisted on looking at her name card every few days.

With the emperor's grace and the fact that she was favored and pregnant, E Yinzhu's pointed face was filled with nourishment like water and became rounder like a cooked glutinous rice ball.

Concubine Song was so anxious that a lot of her beautiful hair fell out, but the imperial decree of promotion that she had been longing for finally landed in Yongshou Palace.

The imperial physician confirmed that E Yinzhu was pregnant with a boy. The emperor issued an order to promote her to the position of concubine.

Concubine Song was so angry that she smashed a lot of porcelain in Jingyang Palace.

How could someone as vulgar and shallow as E Yinzhu be made a concubine? But she had been scheming for so long, and she didn't even get a concubine position.

Cai En came to report that the imperial kitchen had delivered lunch, but Concubine Song was in no mood to eat, so she just told Cai En to take it and she could find a way to divide it up.

Cai En couldn't finish all that much, so she picked some and left them for later, leaving the rest to the eunuch who served the food.

The young eunuch thanked repeatedly and earnestly for such delicious food.

Cai'en was about to send him away, but when she looked up accidentally, she found that the eunuch who delivered food to Jingyang Palace today looked unfamiliar, so she couldn't help but ask a few questions.

Seeing Cai En asking, the young eunuch smiled and said, "Aunt, you have a good eye. I used to deliver food to other palaces.

It turned out that the eunuch who delivered meals to Jingyang Palace was lucky because he met a chef who was responsible for cooking in the imperial kitchen.

The cook seemed to be very much appreciated by Concubine Yu, and the eunuch was also promoted, climbing up to Concubine Yu's high branch and was about to be transferred to Yongshou Palace.

The steward of the imperial kitchen has always been arrogant and bullying the weak, so the servants have to do a lot of running errands for them."

Cai En was puzzled, so she asked more in-depth questions. The young eunuch was not on guard and answered them one by one.

The more Cai En listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Before leaving, she gave the eunuch some change and told him to let her know if he had any news, no matter what.

The young eunuch was blinded by the money. He put the change tightly into his arms and agreed to the deal without hesitation.

Cai En turned around and told Concubine Song everything she had learned. Concubine Song's eyes finally fell on the imperial kitchen.

Today, the Yongshou Palace was very lively. The palace servants came and went in a hurry, but their faces were filled with unstoppable smiles.

The already magnificent Yongshou Palace was renovated to be even more gorgeous and colorful. It even seemed to be comparable to the Yikun Palace.

Ruyi didn't care about those superficial decorations. No matter how proud E Yinzhu was, a concubine was still a concubine and could never surpass the queen.

No matter how extravagant the Yongshou Palace was, as long as the rules were still within the status of concubines, Ruyi had never taken any action to suppress the Eyinzhu.

Ruyi used the excuse that Yongjing cried in the morning when he woke up and did not plan to attend Eyinzhu's ceremony to be crowned as a concubine.

But he still asked Rong Pei to take the full reward from the warehouse and send it to Yongshou Palace.

Rong Pei held the brocade box and looked at the golden phoenix hairpin inlaid with coral rose inside, her brows drooped.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yu was only recently made a concubine, how could she deserve such a good thing?"

Ruyi arranged the silk thread in her hand, chuckled without raising her head, and said jokingly,

"Although this hairpin is precious, Yikun Palace has never lacked such things. You have served me for many years, when did you become so superficial?"

Rong Pei was still somewhat reluctant, "You are a kind person, but Yupin never knows what is good for you. I am afraid that you will suffer.

Yupin is arrogant by nature. If you continue to indulge her, aren't you afraid that she will think of ways to become even more restless in the future?"

"Rong Pei, don't you see it? I am deliberately indulging her."
