Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Logically speaking, the coldest time has passed and the temperature is getting warmer day by day, so Yonglian's asthma should get better.

But there was nothing he could do; Yonglian forced himself to study hard in secret, and ended up developing a lot of health problems.

Fucha Langya knew Yonglian's filial piety and couldn't bear to blame him. But she was soft-hearted at this moment, and actually let Yonglian force himself to vomit blood.

Yonglian is the legitimate son. If the news of his worsening condition were to spread, some people would surely become disloyal.

In order to avoid the emperor's worries and unrest in the harem, Fucha Langya kept the matter a secret and did not allow anyone to know about it.

Every day, she went to Xiefang Hall to take care of Yonglian, and then went to Anhua Hall to pray for blessings. She looked pure and detached from the world.

On the other hand, A Ruo had been staying in the Ministry of Punishment for a long time, enduring inhuman torture every day, and was already dying.

Ruyi knew that it was impossible to get anything out of Aruo.

Even if A Ruo really dared to implicate Gao Xiyue or even Fu Cha Langya, the emperor would suppress the matter.

Instead of doing this, Ruyi might as well pretend to be deaf and dumb. Just pretend that she knows nothing, which can save the emperor's face.

On this day, Ruyi was wearing a hibiscus-colored double-breasted long dress embroidered with purple lotus and the reflection of the moon. She was leaning on the chaise longue in the soft sunlight that came through the window, embroidering the pattern on Yongqi's tiger-head shoes stitch by stitch.

The faint scent of sinking water incense wafts up from the small carved hollow copper incense burner, making people feel relaxed and happy.

When Hai Lan arrived at the Yiku Palace, she first asked Suo Xin to gently pat her whole body with willow branches and mugwort leaves, and then washed her hands before walking into the palace.

Ruyi didn't even raise her eyelids. She knew it was Hailan just by the sound of footsteps. She said softly and lazily, "You're here."

Hailan sat down beside the couch consciously, took a sip of the hot tea brought by Rong Pei, and then spoke, "Well, sister, the Ministry of Punishment is a dark and gloomy place. Fortunately, you didn't go there."

Putting down the teacup, Hailan wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then she said softly, "A Ruo is in there, and she has committed suicide out of fear of the crime.

I heard that the white silk and the dagger were bestowed by the emperor himself. But she didn't choose either one, and ended up hitting her head against the wall.

When it was finally swept away by the straw mat, its head was covered in bright red, blood and flesh were blurred, it was shocking to look at. "

Ruyi's fingers holding the embroidery needle paused.

In her previous life, A Ruo also pretended to hit her head against the wall in order to slander Ruyi for poisoning Concubine Yi with cinnabar.

After many twists and turns, she finally fulfilled her wish of dying in a spectacular way. How ridiculous.

Ruyi sighed, "I originally thought that Ah Ruo was a superficial person who only knew how to curry favor with the powerful and had high aspirations.

Now it seems that he is quite fierce. He is cruel to others and even crueler to himself.

If this spirit can be used in the right way, there is no need to worry about not having a chance to succeed."

"Sister, why should I speak for her?"

Hai Lan disagreed a little when she heard this, "She knew her sister had given birth to a son and was named a royal concubine, and she was not affected by the rumors at all, she was almost going crazy with jealousy.

When he was in the Ministry of Punishment, he was full of curses and foul language that was unbearable to hear.

The maids from the Ministry of Punishment were unable to persuade her, so they simply gave her a bowl of poisonous medicine to make her voice hoarse.

But she was still very crazy and even used her blood to write complaints on the wall.

Finally, the maids from the Ministry of Punishment had no choice but to tie her hands before they gave up.

When Hai Lan talked about this, she patted her chest with some lingering fear.

“It’s just some impotent rage, why bother about it.

Even if A Ruo wasn't cursing, no words could come out of her mouth.

I told you long ago, but you didn't believe me and insisted on going to the Ministry of Punishment. You must be scared." Ruyi said jokingly.

"Empress Hui, the Queen, and even the Emperor will not let her say anything. Why should we insist on getting the answer that we can already guess."

Hailan suddenly realized, "My sister is smart, it's me who didn't think it through.

In my opinion, Ah Ruo was a restless person. She deserved the ending she had now.

It is the result of one's own actions. If she had been honest and loyal to her sister, she would be the head maid in her sister's palace.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have done it in the first place." Although Ah Ruo was dead, Hai Lan was still somewhat indignant and could not help but mocking her.

Ruyi couldn't help but recall the image of A Ruo following behind her in the Qiandi residence, and she couldn't help but feel more touched.

"Aruo is beautiful, and her family background is considered decent among the bondservants, so it is inevitable that she is a little arrogant.

But this excessive self-reliance often leads to self-destruction. Isn't that what happened to the once-favored concubine Li in the previous dynasty?

Unfortunately, Ah Ruokong only had the dream of becoming a concubine, but she went astray. One wrong step, all the steps are wrong.

In the end, it was all his own fault and he reaped the fruits of his own actions. It was not surprising that he ended up like this.”

Ruyi shook her head gently, tied a knot in the silk thread in her hand, and pulled it hard, and it broke with a bang.

A vivid pattern of the Five Poisons to ward off evil spirits appeared on the embroidery frame, and Ruyi smiled faintly.

After winter, the weather gradually warms up. When the snow melts, floods are inevitable in various places.

Fortunately, Narbu was reminded by Ruyi and paid special attention to flood prevention.

The emperor praised him for his good flood control and his modesty and courtesy. Although he did not get promoted, he was generous with his rewards. So far, Narbu has established a firm foothold in the court.

The days passed peacefully until late summer. This year's summer was not too hot, and it was even cooler and more pleasant as it approached early autumn.

The selection process organized by the Imperial Household Department has always been complicated and lengthy.

Because this was the first beauty contest after the emperor ascended the throne, it was held with exceptional grandness and strictness, and it took even longer.

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs first selected women aged between 13 and 16 from the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han military banners from across the country, and conducted a preliminary selection among them.

Only women who meet the requirements in terms of origin, family background, appearance and health status will be selected and pass the preliminary selection.

The women who passed the preliminary selection were sent to the palace, where they were re-selected and assessed by experienced maids sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In addition to having a flawless body without scars, birthmarks, or body odor, the women's talents must also be assessed.

Including but not limited to poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, needlework, speech and manners, interpersonal relationships, etc.

The women who pass the re-selection must not only be talented and beautiful, but also have excellent character and must not make any mistakes.

Even though the conditions were so harsh, there were still tens of thousands of women who passed the re-selection.

These women were kept at home, waiting for the Imperial Observatory to pick an auspicious day, and then summoned to the palace to participate in the final palace selection in person by the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.

After going through the entire process, the day of the palace selection finally arrived.

In addition to those beauties who were to be married to royal family members, princes and ministers, a total of six beauties were selected in this selection.

Saying too much is not too much, saying too little is not too much.

The entry of a newcomer into the palace will trigger a new round of harem struggles.

Although Fucha Langya was concerned about Yonglian, she was the Empress after all. Newcomers to the palace were required to pay respects to the Empress as per custom.

On this day, Fu Cha Langya got up early and washed and dressed.

The tall flag head is decorated with exquisite kingfisher feathers. The gold and jade accessories of bats holding the moon on both sides are a complete set, which looks gorgeous and generous.

Under the hollow bead hairpin inlaid with gold and jade and entwined with intertwined branches, there is a string of rare pink rice beads.

The huge Dongzhu earrings as big as pigeon eggs hung on her ears, causing Fucha Langya to feel a little pain.
