Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Amid the sound of autumn leaves, and the setting sun on thousands of houses.

The emperor came to the Yanx Palace in a hurry after the morning court session, without even having time to change into his court robes.

After waiting for a long time, there was no news except Ruyi's occasional shrill cries of pain.

The emperor paced back and forth in the side hall anxiously, and from time to time he would ask the imperial physician beside him about Concubine Xian's condition.

Although the Empress Dowager did not come to the Yanx Palace to visit in person, she sent her aunt Fujia to look after her.

Seeing the emperor's anxious look, Fujia couldn't help but persuade him, "Your Majesty, Empress Xian is giving birth to her first child, so she will be slower in labor. You should take a rest first."

"Yes, Your Majesty, Concubine Chun and Concubine Hai are both inside. Concubine Xian will ensure that both mother and child are safe. Why not let me help you change your clothes first?"

Li Yu also said what Fujia said.

The emperor looked around the inner hall and saw that there was indeed no movement for a while, so he had no choice but to agree. He followed Li Yu to the warm room next door to change clothes.

The emperor had only changed half of his clothes when he suddenly heard an extremely high-pitched scream from Ruyi in the inner hall, followed by the loud cry of a baby.

"Empress Xian gave birth?"

The emperor was so delighted that he rushed out the door without even buttoning his clothes.

Li Yu could only follow the emperor's footsteps while hurriedly buttoning up his clothes.

When they arrived at the inner hall, they saw the midwife coming out from the inner room, holding a red silk quilt embroidered with lotus flowers, and kneeling down to congratulate the emperor.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Concubine Xian has successfully given birth to a healthy little prince."

The emperor was so happy that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

He carefully took the baby from the midwife's hands, uncovered the blanket, and saw a chubby little face with eyes closed, sucking its fingers obediently.

"The little prince is so handsome. I have seen so many children, but I have never seen a baby who is so fair, tender and firm.

I think he must be blessed. The Queen Mother will be happy if she knows about this." Fujia smiled and said auspicious words.

At this time, Su Lujun and Hai Lan had also come out of the delivery room.

"Sister, you have shed a lot of blood and suffered a lot. Fortunately, the little prince is in good health. It is worth all your hard work."

Hai Lan looked at the little brother sucking his fingers in the cradle, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

Su Lujun echoed, "Yes, Empress Xian has worked hard. Would Your Majesty like to go in and see Empress Xian?"

The emperor handed the child to the nurse and asked her to take the child away to feed him. Rong Pei followed Ruyi's instructions to be careful at all times.

The bloody smell in the delivery room had dissipated a lot. Ruyi was lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

She wore a pure white goose down headband inlaid with emeralds and huddled in a light yellow quilt with chrysanthemums and lotus seeds, looking very weak.

Seeing the emperor come in, Ruyi pretended to stand up and salute. The emperor quickly stepped forward and pressed her shoulders.

Looking at Ruyi's lips which had turned pale due to excessive force, the emperor felt heartbroken.

He said in a gentle voice, "Ruyi, you have worked hard this time. You gave birth to my first son after I ascended the throne. I thank you."

Ruyi forced a smile and said, "I am too ashamed to accept this. As a mother, I am satisfied that my child is healthy."

The emperor held Ruyi's hand and patted it gently, "We said that if she is a princess, she will be called Jingying.

But now he is a prince. I am really happy about this unexpected surprise.

Ruyi, what do you think we should call our prince? As a noble son, he can continue the legacy of our ancestors, so why not call him Yongji? "

"璂 is a jade ornament used to sew leather goods. It symbolizes the affection between you and Your Majesty. It's a good name." Ruyi agreed with a gentle smile.

Ruyi thought of her Yongji in her previous life, the child she gave birth to with great care and after eating many spicy dishes.

Yongqi was extremely sensible when he was young, and often called his mother in his smoky voice.

But later, Yongji was framed by Wei Yanwan and accidentally ate mushrooms, which caused him to have hallucinations. He even misunderstood that he was hugging Ling Yunche, which broke Ruyi's heart.

Later, Ruyi entrusted Yongqi to the care of the Queen Mother. No one knows what happened to Yongqi after she left in her previous life.

Thinking of this, Ruyi couldn't help but shed tears.

The emperor thought she was hurt, and asked with concern, "Ruyi, does your body still hurt? Don't move, I will ask the imperial physician to check you again..."

Ruyi shook her head with tears in her eyes and said softly, "Although I am in pain, when I think of Yongqi, I am only happy and moved."

Tears welled up in the emperor's eyes, and he gently wiped away Ruyi's tears with his hands, "Okay, you are already my mother, why are you still crying?

I said that after you give birth, I will promote you to Imperial Concubine. You must recover quickly."

Ruyi still shook her head gently and said weakly, "Your Majesty, I was the only concubine in the harem.

If you rashly promote me to the rank of Imperial Concubine, and the position of Imperial Concubine is vacant, it will inevitably give rise to criticism.

I do not want your Majesty's reputation to be damaged, nor do I care about my position. As long as your Majesty has me in his heart, I will be satisfied. Please take back your order."

The emperor patted Ruyi's hand and said softly, "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond, and I am the emperor, how can I take back my order?

Ruyi, please don't refuse."

"It's not that I'm refusing." Ruyi was a little anxious and tried to stand up.

Ruyi accidentally pulled the wound on her body, and her face turned pale with pain. But she still insisted, "Your Majesty, I appreciate your affection for me.

It's just that the harem is restless, and the emperor will inevitably be distracted. I have the emperor and Yongji, and I am already content. Please postpone the discussion of the promotion."

Since our ancestor Taizong personally established the harem system of "one empress and four concubines", there has never been a precedent in the harem where the position of a concubine was left vacant in order to promote her to a noble concubine.

The emperor knew that Ruyi was sensible and considerate. He gave in because he was afraid that he would force her to be a concubine, which would cause jealousy and fighting among the harem.

The Ulanara clan had only one Narbu in the previous dynasty, so he would not be able to win the argument with the important officials in the court. By then, I am afraid that the censors would impeach the emperor, saying that the emperor favored Ruyi too much and ignored the ancestral system.

The emperor finally nodded in agreement. But in his heart, he couldn't help but feel more distressed and respectful towards Ruyi.

The news that Ruyi had given birth to a son quickly spread throughout the harem.

The house arrest in the Yanxi Palace was lifted, and the rumors about the so-called evildoers were self-defeating.

In addition to the regular rewards from the palace, Ruyi also received various rare treasures from the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. Other palaces also sent gifts.

惢心 and Rong Pei were so busy that they had no time to rest, so Ruyi ordered Chunchan, Lancui, Huaping and Liuying, a few other palace maids, to help them.

After nearly a month of busy work, everything was finally put into the warehouse.

In order to pray for Yongqi, Ruyi privately asked the emperor for a reward, and specially gave one year's allowance to all the palace servants in the Yanx Palace.

For a time, everyone in the Yanx Palace was filled with joy, and the people in other palaces were also envious.

With Jiang Yubi's careful treatment and惢心 and Rong Pei's meticulous care, Ruyi soon recovered from the confinement.

Ruyi used the jade face cream prepared by Jiang Yubin, and her figure recovered perfectly, without even a trace left on her belly.

Every day, Ruyi also mixed milk, aloe vera and rose juice into her dough.

The skin quickly regained its former radiance and even looked better than before.

With a son and a favorite in the Yanxi Palace, she became even more popular in the palace.
