Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

After the emperor praised Ruyi for her virtuousness, he did not delay any further.

Soon, a sign was turned over and the young concubine was washed and sent into the tent.

"In reply to the Queen, the one serving you in bed tonight is Lingpin."

Ruyi was slightly surprised.

She originally thought that the emperor would choose some Mongolian concubines who were heroic and good at riding and hunting.

Concubine Yu had harmed the emperor's body and was disliked by the emperor. Concubine Ying had just returned from the Old Summer Palace and the emperor still had a grudge against her. No matter how you look at it, it should be Concubine Ke's turn.

Unexpectedly, it was Wei Yanwan, who had been living a quiet and peaceful life in the palace, who received the favor of the night.

"Princess Ling is wearing a pretty red robe today.

Different from the palace dresses we wore in the past, the dress was tight fitting, outlining Lingpin's figure to be incomparably beautiful.

Although Lingpin's riding and archery skills were not very good, she had learned them by pestering the emperor.

Today, she was wearing that dress and galloping on the grassland. The emperor happened to see her and that’s why he couldn’t forget her. ”

There was no extra expression on Ruyi's face, as if she had already been aware of Wei Yanwan's charm.

"Although I have given birth to a child, my waist is naturally thin, which makes me most suitable for such tight riding clothes.

She is still young and beautiful, so it doesn't matter if she keeps silent on weekdays. As long as she wants to win the emperor's favor, the emperor will not ignore such a beauty. "

Lingzhi said indignantly, "The Emperor once praised Lingpin in person in the Imperial Garden, saying that the way she stood under the trumpet creeper looked a bit like you when you were young."

In my opinion, your concubine is beautiful, but it is all because of you, Your Majesty.

When she first gained favor, she took advantage of the emperor's interest in her and gave birth to a sixth princess. After that, she never gave birth again.

I guess that Concubine Ling must be anxious. If she doesn't give birth to another prince for the emperor while she is still young, how can she consolidate her position and make further progress? "

Lingzhi's words made some sense. Ruyi thought for a long time and remained silent.

Rong Pei narrowed her eyes slightly, waved her hand, and signaled Lingzhi and Yunzhi to retreat.

She took the wooden comb and gently tidied up Ruyi's strands of hair.

When only the master and servant were left in the tent, Rong Pei lowered her voice and said, "Lingzhi's statement is the guess of most palace people.

But I think that it is really a coincidence that the Emperor has taken a fancy to Lingpin today."

"How to say?"

Rong Pei looked around, leaned over and whispered in Ruyi's ear, "I met Master Ling Yunche outside the tent today."

Adult princes should never miss the Mulan Autumn Hunt.

Yong Zhang was in Jiangnan, so he sent someone to deliver gifts early. However, Yong Qi's tarsal carbuncle had not yet healed, and the weather was getting colder in autumn, with continuous rain, making it inconvenient for him to travel long distances.

So he asked Ling Yunche to bring a thank-you gift to the emperor to show his gratitude.

Maybe Wei Yanwan was in a hurry to meet Ling Yunche today, so she dressed up specially.

Ruyi didn't take Wei Yanwan's affairs to heart. As long as it didn't affect her own affairs, she let them do whatever they wanted.

The next morning, the dew and mist that had accumulated overnight quickly evaporated in the rising sunlight, indicating that today would be a sunny and beautiful day.

The emperor, accompanied by a group of princes and ministers, dressed in chain mail, marched majestically into the depths of the jungle.

On the left and right of the emperor were Jingse and Yongsheng. Although Yonghuang and Yongqi were reluctant to come forward to flatter him, they followed closely behind.

The sunlight shines through the sparse leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground. The ancient trees are towering with tangled roots, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of soil and fallen leaves.

This peaceful pure land was soon broken.

Following an order, thousands of riders galloped, moving flexibly through the dense forest like lightning, at a speed that was too fast to keep up with.

Hundreds of birds were startled, and the sound of flapping wings and chirping was like the sound of nature.

The emperor took the lead, holding a bow and arrow, searching for the target with a focused look.

Occasionally a few frightened small animals jumped out from the grass and then quickly disappeared.

But the emperor didn't care about any of these.

Suddenly, a sturdy black bear jumped out from the bushes not far away.

It looked at the emperor warily, as if it had assessed that the person was not someone to be trifled with, so it simply turned around and attempted to flee far away.

The emperor acted decisively, immediately pulled the bowstring, took aim, and shot an arrow, hitting the black bear.

There was a burst of admiration all around, and everyone applauded and cheered for the emperor's superb skills.

Jingse even shouted, "The Emperor is so mighty!"

The emperor ordered his men to peel off the bear skin and send it to Ruyi to make a mattress.

Jingse's face twisted slightly, and she quickly acted coquettishly to the emperor, asking for the fur of a fox he hunted to make a shawl.

After a round of hunting, everyone had something to gain. The attendants had already counted everyone's prey, and in the end, the emperor naturally hunted the most and won the first prize.

Everyone praised the performance highly, and the emperor was greatly pleased and in even higher spirits.

Jingse had been following the emperor closely, and seeing this, she hurried to flatter him, "After so many years, your father is still as strong as he was back then. He is truly in his prime, and it is a blessing for the Qing Dynasty."

Yongcheng also nodded in agreement, "Father, you are in your prime, and your riding and archery skills are superb. I admire you."

Jingse prided herself on being a legitimate son and having a noble status, and she always looked down on her other brothers and sisters who were born out of wedlock, including Yongcheng.

She smiled, but her tone was filled with an indescribable bitterness, "Sixth brother, don't just praise the emperor. I wonder what you have gained today?"

Yongsheng's expression was a little stiff, but he still displayed the contents of the bag one by one.

The emperor patted Yongcheng on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Yongcheng's riding and archery skills have improved again."

Jingse still refused to give in, looking at the silent Yongqi, and said, "Father, I remember that when Crown Prince Duanhui was still alive, he was able to hunt and shoot a young deer at the age of six.

As a legitimate son, I think my fourth brother is also quite capable. I really want to see what rare and ferocious animals he hunted."

The solemn look in Yongqi's eyes disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by embarrassment.

"Third sister, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I only hunted some old and weak animals today, not any rare birds or beasts."

Hearing this, the mockery in Jingse and Yongcheng's eyes almost overflowed.

"Fourth brother, what's wrong with you? I really don't know how the Empress Dowager taught you. Even I would not bother to hunt such things.

Could it be that Fourth Brother can't even hold an arrow steadily, so he can only use something like this to handle the task and put off the Emperor?"

The emperor waved his hand and said gently, "Yongji, I saw you have been confined to study recently, so I think you are not good at riding and shooting.

Reading is good, but riding and shooting are the natural abilities of Manchu men, so we must not lose them. I will teach you myself later."
