Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

When Shu Guiren saw that her difficulties were exposed, she was not angry.

She pulled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery and said sadly, "Your Highness probably doesn't know, but I actually met the Emperor before I entered the palace for the selection."

Shu Guiren seemed to be lost in some beautiful memories, and her expression became dazed.

"That year, I was planning to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, but I happened to see the emperor just leaving the temple. From a distance, I saw the emperor at a glance.

With just that one glance, I felt a deep sense of familiarity and admiration for the Emperor.

I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Imperial Concubine. After that time, I tried my best to show myself, just to be successfully selected.

Later, the concubine became Shu Guiren as she wished and was the first to sleep with the emperor.

That night, my dream was almost coming true.

But that night, all of my beautiful dreams were shattered in an instant."

Speaking of this, the light in Shu Guiren's eyes seemed to be about to fall apart, shattering into tiny stars, and tears like mist were about to burst out of her eyes.

"I was huddled in my quilt when I heard the Emperor asking for my last name.

I answered with trepidation, but the emperor's originally gentle and warm smile disappeared.

The emperor sent his concubine back and never favored her again.

Although I have no choice but to accept it, I have already planned to spend the rest of my life in the palace.

I hope the Imperial Concubine will help me and not offend the Emperor because of me."

Two lines of clear tears slid down Shu Guiren's snow-white and flawless face, silently blending into the patterns on her clothes and disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Ruyi showed a look of heartache, "Lady Shu, your title is Shu. Do you know the meaning of the word 'Shu'?"

There was doubt in Shu Guiren's eyes, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.

Ruyi turned and faced Shu Guiren. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a solemnity that no one dared to desecrate as she looked at the bare plum branches and the azure sky.

"Don't be surprised by praise or criticism, just watch the flowers in the courtyard bloom and fall. Don't care about coming or going, just follow the clouds in the sky. Lady Shu is good at poetry, so I think she can understand this sentence.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven, and also a man. Since ancient times, no man has ever been willing to take the initiative to give in to a woman.

So I advise you, if you are really infatuated with the emperor, you should let him know. Your beauty, your understanding, your gentleness and thoughtfulness should not be buried.

Only by being calm and indifferent can you retain a place in the harem, beside the emperor."

Shu Guiren's eyes lit up slightly, like a shooting star across the sky, brief but dazzling.

"Your Highness, I understand what you have reminded me of.

But I don't understand why the Imperial Concubine wants to help me like this. Wouldn't it be better for the Imperial Concubine if there was one less person vying for favor in the harem?"

Ruyi's lips showed a trace of bitterness, and she said helplessly, "Perhaps you and I have something in common.

We are all willing to compromise and endure for the emperor.

So I understand you and I pity you."

The frail figure of Concubine Shu slowly disappeared behind the plum forest rockery.

There was no emotion in Ruyi's eyes, and she just watched Shu Guiren go away indifferently.

Rong Pei stood beside Ruyi and asked in confusion, "My dear, although Concubine Shu is of noble status, she is not favored by the emperor.

Why do you care so much about Concubine Shu and why are you so polite to her?"

"Look at Shu Guiren's face. Apart from Jiapin, who else in the palace can compare with her?" Ruyi sighed softly.

"But how could the emperor like you if you are beautiful but not tactful?" Rong Pei was still a little confused.

The cold wind mixed with withered yellow leaves swept past. Ruyi gathered the collar of her cloak and smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

"Which man in this world doesn't love beauty? How can I not know the emperor's temperament?

He was on guard against Shu Guiren, but at the same time he coveted her beauty. The Japanese palace only gave him a few words of advice, and he pretended to be angry.

But looking at the emperor's unnatural expression, is he really angry?"

Rong Pei recalled the situation that day and replied softly, "The emperor and the queen have a deep friendship, how could he easily annoy the queen?"

Ruyi chuckled, turned around slowly, and walked back to the palace, "Your Majesty and Concubine Shu are both reserved and delicate people.

What they lack is just a step. In this case, why don't I do a favor?

Besides, someone like Shu Guiren, who is proud and would rather break than bend, would be a good knife.

With such a good opportunity, I am naturally happy to do her a favor."

Ruyi walked slowly along the way, enjoying the rare coolness of autumn.

Before reaching the Yiku Palace, one could hear the noisy sounds of palace servants rushing about.

Rong Pei stopped a little palace maid who was in a hurry and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen?"

The little palace maid didn't want to pay attention to Rong Pei at first, but when she caught a glimpse of Ruyi's elegant and luxurious attire, she hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"The Second Prince has a cough. The Empress is very worried and has sent me to the Imperial Hospital to find the Imperial Physician. Aunt, please don't embarrass me."

Rong Pei and Ruyi looked at each other and put down their arms. The little palace maid hurried away.

"I guess the Second Prince's asthma has gotten worse again." Ruyi said casually and continued walking slowly.

"Yes, since we moved to the Yikun Palace, the next door is the Changchun Palace.

The Empress sends someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Doctor Qi almost every few days, and I am no longer surprised by this."

Rong Pei sighed slightly, and then as if she had thought of something, she said, "But this time, I think the situation seems a little different."

Ruyi didn't say anything and walked to the door of Yikun Palace in silence. She happened to see Hailan standing at the door of Yikun Palace looking at something.

"Hai Lan, why are you here?" Ruyi quickly stepped forward and held Hai Lan's hand.

"It's autumn and the wind is blowing and the dew is heavy. You are still healthy, but why don't you take care of yourself? Next time you come, just go into the palace and wait for me."

Ruyi patted Hailan's hand in an angry tone.

Hai Lan curled her lips slightly, smiled mysteriously, and approached Ruyi and said, "Sister, I stood here on purpose. Only by standing here can I see more of the excitement over there."

Hailan glanced towards the direction of Changchun Palace obscurely.

Ruyi shook her head helplessly, "Okay, let's go in and talk."

After entering the palace and taking off her cloak, Ruyi felt a lot more relaxed.

"Hai Lan, your baby is about to be born." Ruyi took off her armor and carefully touched Hai Lan's bulging belly through her clothes.

"How are you? Do you have any stretch marks on your stomach or any other discomfort?"

Hai Lan smiled and shook her head. "No, Doctor Jiang's Jade Cream is very effective. I don't have a single wrinkle on my body."

Ruyi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In her previous life, Hailan secretly cried many times because of the scar on her belly. Ruyi saw it and felt pain in her heart.

In this life, I finally helped Hailan get through this difficult time. The pregnant woman will be in a better mood, and the delivery in the future will be much smoother.
