Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 7: The Dispute over the Plaque
Gao Xiyue took off layers of her woolen coat, revealing the pink robe embroidered with hibiscus patterns underneath, which made her look particularly pretty and lovely.
She bowed respectfully to Fucha Langya. "I pay my respects to the Queen."
Fu Cha Langya was very satisfied with Gao Xiyue's obedience. She put on a gentle and appropriate smile and quickly asked Gao Xiyue to stand up and take a seat.
"It's snowed outside and the weather has turned cold. You are the one who is most afraid of the cold. Sure enough, you even put on a thick fur coat." Fu Cha Langya and Gao Xiyue chatted jokingly.
Gao Xiyue stretched out her hand to the stove to warm herself, and said self-deprecatingly.
"I have always had a weak blood and cold qi, and I can't stand the cold in winter. Thanks to the red charcoal that the queen gave me, I was able to survive."
When it comes to red charcoal, Fu Cha Langya's expression changed slightly, but soon, she smiled gracefully and said to Gao Xiyue.
"You are still young, you should take good care of your body. The emperor has only three sons. I really hope that you can give birth to the first prince after the emperor ascends the throne."
These words fully demonstrate the queen's demeanor.
Gao Xiyue nodded shyly.
Fu Cha Langya also ordered Lian Xin to take out a piece of black fox skin with very thick fur and warm to the touch and give it to Gao Xiyue.
Gao Xiyue touched the glossy black fox fur and praised it happily, "As the saying goes, first-grade black fox, second-grade marten, and third-grade fox mink. This fur is as dark as ink, with only a silver hair on the top, which shows how precious it is."
Fu Cha Langya smiled and said casually, "No matter how good the thing I give you is, it is just a tribute.
How can it compare to the plaque hanging in Concubine Xian's palace? That was written by the Emperor himself."
Gao Xiyue was a little confused when she heard this, "What plaque?"
Su Lian on the side quickly joined in the conversation.
"I heard that the emperor wrote a piece of calligraphy for Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian was very happy and made a plaque. She also spread the word everywhere, saying that it contained the love between her and the emperor.
In fact, in my opinion, even if the Emperor wanted to write an inscription, he should give it to the Empress and Concubine Hui first. How could it be the turn of a woman from a poor family like her?
After all, wasn't it because of that that Yanxi Palace almost became the legitimate wife?"
After hearing this, Gao Xiyue was indeed filled with righteous indignation. She pinched the black fox skin with her hand wearing the lotus gold bracelet and said angrily, "That was the past!
As soon as she entered the palace, she was a concubine. How dare she compare herself with the Empress? This Concubine Xian, the way she spreads her influence everywhere is really annoying! I really can't stand it."
The next day, Gao Xiyue dressed up and went to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor.
As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, Wang Qin came over and held Gao Xiyue's arm. "The emperor just approved the memorials and is now listening to the pipa performance of the Southern Palace."
When Gao Xiyue walked into the room, she saw six stunningly beautiful pipa players with different looks sitting inside.
The one in the lead had an exceptionally delicate appearance. Although her clothes were no different from the other Pipa dancers, the jewelry on her head was obviously much more exquisite. Even the pearl flowers on Xiao Er's head were two more than the others.
Not only that, she was holding a precious phoenix-necked pipa inlaid with ivory in her hand. While playing it, she looked at the emperor lovingly.
After the song was finished, Gao Xiyue bowed to the emperor. The luxurious cloud-patterned gold ornaments on the flag head were so dazzling that it hurt people's eyes.
Gao Xiyue said softly without noticing, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand to signal Gao Xiyue to sit next to him, and asked with concern, "I asked Qi Ru to take care of your body. Do you feel better now?"
Gao Xiyue said tenderly, "I am weak, but with the emperor's care, I feel much better. Thanks to the emperor's strong body, I don't feel cold when I sit next to him.
Your Majesty wants to listen to the pipa, why don't you come to me? Do you dislike my crude skills? I have learned a new piece recently, would you please listen to it?"
Seeing the emperor nod, Gao Xiyue took off the red gold armor inlaid with rubies, and with the help of Mo Xin's hand, took the phoenix-neck pipa from the pipa player's hand.
Gao Xiyue simply tuned the strings a few times and then played an impromptu piece, which made the emperor praise Gao Xiyue as a national pipa player.
After the pipa players had left, Gao Xiyue began to pull Hongli's sleeve and spoke softly.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you awarded Concubine Xian a plaque. I am so envious of your favor. Your Majesty is too partial."
The emperor peeled an orange and said helplessly, "It's because their Yanxi Palace is simple that I personally gave them the imperial calligraphy. Your Xianfu Palace is magnificent and has everything. How can I be partial?"
Gao Xiyue was still unyielding. The pink brocade tassels on her head swayed with her movements. She continued to speak in a gentle voice.
"The Xianfu Palace has everything, but it lacks a painting personally given by the Emperor. Your Majesty, please give one to me and the Empress, okay?"
When Fucha Langya was mentioned, the emperor's expression changed slightly.
The emperor recalled that when he personally gave Ruyi the imperial calligraphy, Ruyi once said, "Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, if you bypass the Empress and only give it to me, I am afraid that the six palaces will not accept it."
At that time, the emperor refuted Ruyi, "The queen is not such a narrow-minded person. A piece of imperial calligraphy is not worth much money, why do you want to fight for it?
I want to give this reward to you alone, not to anyone else. This is my intention. It is also the love that only exists between the two of us.”
But now, the emperor felt very embarrassed. He really misjudged the queen.
It was just a plaque, but it was worthy of the mother of a country to order her concubines around and ask him for it in a roundabout way.
The emperor was very upset and didn't want to talk to Gao Xiyue anymore, so he ordered Wang Qin to send Gao Xiyue back to Xianfu Palace, and he went back to Yangxin Palace to continue reviewing memorials.
Gao Xiyue was still a little confused when Wang Qin sent her out. Wang Qin had to explain to her that the emperor was busy with government affairs today, so he didn't like to be disturbed.
At night, the emperor went to Ruyi's Yanxi Palace again. At this time, Ruyi had just finished washing and combing her hair, and her long hair reached the ground.
Ruyi was wearing a plain nightgown in the color of the moon and embroidered with silver thread. Although it was not decorated much, it was well-cut and perfectly set off the girl's delicate and beautiful figure.
At this time, Ruyi was sitting on the warm couch with her chin supported by her hands, closing her eyes and dozing off, letting the charcoal basin in front of her warm her still wet hair.
The emperor stopped Suo Xin from reporting and walked into the palace alone. What he saw was such a scene of no makeup, casualness, naturalness, tranquility and elegance.
It was as if a breeze was caressing the emperor's restless heart. For a moment, the emperor felt an incomparable peace and tranquility in his heart.
The emperor casually picked up the cat's eye sandalwood comb from his dressing table, walked lightly, and sat down beside Ruyi. Then he began to comb Ruyi's black silk hair.
Ruyi still closed her eyes and whispered with a thick nasal tone, "惢心, there's no need to comb your hair. Just let it air dry naturally."
Seeing no one answering, Ruyi opened her eyes. What she saw was the emperor holding a wooden comb beside her, combing her hair patiently and seriously.
This scene instantly made Ruyi blush and her heart beat fast. She lowered her head shyly and called out "Your Majesty" in a soft and tender voice.
