Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The reason why Ruyi dared to act so naughty with the emperor this time was, first of all, because she knew very well that she and the emperor had a strong relationship.

Such little quarrels, after not seeing each other for a few days, can actually deepen the affection between the two people when they meet again. It is indeed a kind of fun.

The second reason was because of Ruyi herself. She had only been reborn for a few days, and she was not ready to serve in the emperor's bedchamber again.

Wait until she has had some time and is mentally prepared, then go to bed and try to please her.

The emperor and Ruyi had a quarrel, and everyone in the palace knew about it the next day.

Fu Cha Langya took advantage of this incident to recommend Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan to the emperor's bedside.

Unfortunately, the emperor’s mind is now filled with Ruyi’s shadow, and he has no interest in any of the concubines.

A whole month passed in the blink of an eye.

People in the palace have always flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak.

The cold war between Ruyi and the emperor lasted for so long that all kinds of rumors inevitably spread in the palace.

"My Lord, those servants in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are really looking down on us.

I went to get the red radish charcoal. Not only did they leave me alone for most of the day, but they also took their time to fill half a basket for us.

This little bit of charcoal is not even half of what you deserve as a concubine! This is too much of an insult."

As soon as A Ruo returned to the gate of Yanxi Palace, she began to complain loudly.

She threw half a basket of red charcoal on the ground, stood in front of Ruyi with grievance and anger, showing her hands that were red from the wind and snow.

Suo Xin walked over, squatted down and picked up all the red charcoal scattered on the ground.

"Don't be angry, Sister A'ruo. If there is not enough, then let the master use it first. It won't matter to us servants."

A Ruo got angry when she saw that sensible and emotionally stable little white flower named惢心.

She deliberately said, "Then tomorrow, Suo Xin, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for red charcoal. Anyway, I will never put up with that again."

A Ruo turned her face away angrily.

Ruyi looked at Arruo coldly and felt that she did not have the fate of a lady, but had the temperament of a spoiled lady all over her body.

Suo Xin did not refute, and smiled and said goodbye, "Master, then I will go and light the red charcoal to warm up the room."

The winter weather is really cold. Ruyi touched the warm hot water bottle in her hand and felt that the time was almost right.

On this day, Ruyi deliberately dressed up.

She was wearing a sky-blue Suzhou embroidery dress with delicate cherry blossom patterns embroidered on the hem. She had a small bun with a butterfly-shaped kingfisher headdress.

With rice-sized pearl tassels, the whole person looks fresh but not dull, full of energetic girlish charm.

Ruyi stood gracefully on the road that Hongli had to take when he left the court. From a distance, she looked just like the one she wore when she attended the selection of concubines by the fourth prince Hongli.

As soon as the emperor came out of the palace, he saw Ruyi, who was smart, gentle, charming and beautiful, standing in the sun.

At this moment, the emperor could no longer suppress his inner thoughts and took the initiative to jog over and hold Ruyi's hand.

"I haven't seen Your Majesty for some time, but seeing that Your Majesty looks radiant, it is evident that you take care of yourself." Ruyi said to the emperor in a tender voice.

The emperor was quite emotional, "Ruyi, have you taken care of yourself during the days when I was not here to see you?"

"I really want to take care of myself, but I just can't see the emperor..." Ruyi said coquettishly.

The two of them joked with each other like a couple who had a quarrel, and then made up.

Ruyi took out the portrait of Hongli that she had prepared long ago, and the emperor also took out the portrait of Ruyi that he had drawn by hand.

There was a surge of affection between the two of them, and they had a tacit understanding that made others envious.

Ruyi took Hongli's arm and returned to the Yanxi Palace. As soon as they entered the palace, Hongli frowned.

"Why aren't there charcoal fires burning in the house on such a cold day? How are you servants serving Concubine Xian?"

The servants all knelt on the ground.

Ah Ruo squeezed back her tears in grievance, knelt down and took two steps forward, speaking in a crying voice.

"Your Majesty, these servants of the Imperial Household Department are flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Seeing that Your Majesty does not come to our Yanxi Palace, they secretly deduct our master's things.

The day before yesterday it was cloth, today it is food, tomorrow it is charcoal fire. Our master was tortured with a cough in the winter.

My master really misses the emperor. Just two days ago, my master's cough just recovered, and then..."

"A Ruo, shut up. Cough cough cough..."

Ruyi quickly shouted to stop him. But she didn't expect that because she was too excited, she couldn't stop coughing for a while.

The emperor hurriedly helped Ruyi sit down and poured her another cup of tea.

But the moment the emperor touched the plain white porcelain teacup, he became furious.

He threw the cup to the ground and shouted angrily, "You slave dogs, it's winter and your master is sick, how dare you treat him with cold tea!"

Now, even A Ruo didn't dare to speak anymore.

Ruyi finally suppressed her cough. She stood up, took the emperor's arm, and tried to calm his anger.

"Your Majesty, don't blame them. The Empress advocates frugality, so it's only natural that the Yanxi Palace saves more charcoal on weekdays.

It's just that the servants below are suffering. The red charcoal sent to me every day is only this much, and there is no charcoal fire in the servants' rooms for three days or two.

I am worried that since the emperor has just ascended the throne, if a servant freezes to death in the palace in winter, it will really affect the emperor's reputation. That's why I allocated some of my charcoal to them.

As for the charcoal fire for boiling water and rice, it is really hard to even it out. But cold tea is good, cold tea makes people sober..."

After hearing this, the emperor became even angrier.

"It's a good thing to advocate frugality, but everything is excessive! Such a simple truth, but the queen is so confused!

I have just ascended the throne, and the national treasury is indeed not very full, but I will not let you, a concubine, save charcoal in the winter and live a life of cold food and cold tea.

In my opinion, the Queen is becoming more and more out of line in her actions."

The emperor can blame Fucha Langya, but Ruyi cannot. Ruyi is already satisfied to hear this reprimand.

Suspicion is like a seed. If it is planted in the heart early, it will take root and grow into a towering tree in the future.

Since the Yanx Palace was really not suitable for living, Hongli took Ruyi back to the Yangxin Palace and specially asked Li Yu to go to the Imperial Household Department.

Li Yu gave some advice and gave a slight punishment but a severe warning.

He told everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From then on, no matter how frugal other places were, the Yanxi Palace must not be short of things.

That night, Ruyi stayed in the Yangxin Palace.

The emperor explained it to the public by saying that it was because of the heavy snow and frost that night that he could not return to the Yanxi Palace, which saved the queen's face.

On the second day, Ruyi did not go to pay her respects to the Queen.

The emperor directly asked Li Yu to ask for leave on behalf of Ruyi, saying that she was weak and could not stand the cold days with insufficient charcoal fire, and fell ill.
