Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

The palace is covered in silver in winter.

The accumulated snow covered the glazed tiles as lightly as delicate feathers, sparkling with dazzling white light.

The flying eaves and corners of the hall appear even more exquisite with the decoration of white snow, as if they were works of art carefully carved by nature.

The breeze blows gently, and snowflakes fall with the wind, like elves dancing in the sky, adding a bit of liveliness to this quiet winter day.

Hailan's due date is approaching, and Ruyi is more nervous than Hailan.

Every day she would ask Jiang Yubi to check Hai Lan's pulse, and finally she simply sent Rong Pei to the Yanxi Palace.

I was afraid that any inconvenience would affect Hailan's childbirth.

Suo Xin came to report, "Master, the Yu family's envoy said he had caught a cold and specifically asked for Doctor Jiang to go to the posthouse to take a look."

Ruyi's heart was alarmed when she heard this, "You are not allowed to go.

He is just an envoy from a foreign race. Could his illness be more serious than that of the royal heir?

"惢心, you go and pass it on. Just tell them that it is my intention. Doctor Xu from the Imperial Hospital has more experience, so out of respect for the Yu family's envoy, let him go."

Nothing is more important than Hailan now."

Suo Xin bowed her head and replied, "That's what Imperial Doctor Jiang meant, so he asked me to come and inform the master. I'll go and tell him right away."

At such a critical moment, Jin Yuyan dared to instigate Yu's envoy to cause trouble.

Ruyi's pupils were as dark as the night, with a hint of resentment looming in her eyes.

But now is not the time to settle the accounts, Hailan should still come first in everything.

Sure enough, Hai Lan launched the attack that night.

When Ruyi rushed to the Yanx Palace, Hailan was already screaming in pain in the inner room.

Regardless of the blood in the delivery room, Ruyi rushed into the palace. She sat beside the bed, holding Hailan's hand, and anxiously accompanied her during the delivery.

Although there was nothing unusual about Hailan's pregnancy, it was her first child after all, so the birth was very difficult.

Ruyi stopped惢心 who was busy running around and ordered, "惢心, I still feel uneasy.

Go report back to the Emperor and ask him to get all the doctors here."

After saying that, he added in a low voice, "Hai Lan went through a near-death experience to give birth to a child for the emperor. It would be best if the emperor could come and see it in person."

Suoxin nodded in understanding and left in a hurry.

With Ye Xin and Rong Pei taking care of her in the Yanxi Palace, and Imperial Physicians Qi and Jiang checking on her all the time, Hai Lan's birth went relatively smoothly.

When the emperor arrived at the Yanx Palace, he heard a loud baby cry amidst Hai Lan's hoarse screams.

"Among all my children, his cry is the loudest." The emperor's brows relaxed, and he was obviously delighted.

Ruyi confirmed again and again that Hailan was fine and had just fallen into a coma due to exhaustion. Only then did she feel a little relieved.

She ordered Ye Xin and Rong Pei to take good care of Hai Lan and never leave her side. Ruyi walked out carefully holding the child.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Hailan has given birth to a healthy, plump little prince."

Ruyi carefully handed the light golden swaddling clothes embroidered with a hundred blessings pattern to the emperor.

The emperor held the child in his arms, grinning from ear to ear. "Great! This is my fifth prince, hahahaha."

Ruyi led the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs to kneel down and congratulate, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Reward! Reward everyone in the Yanxi Palace. All of you, stand up."

The emperor was very pleased, and the palace servants also celebrated with him as they received the reward from their master. Joy was everywhere.

"The Fifth Prince has a small face that is round and square, and he looks lively." Ruyi smiled and lifted a corner of the swaddling clothes, revealing the baby's pink face.

"Ruyi, you are right. This child has a handsome appearance and a loud cry. He must be a blessed child."

The emperor held the Fifth Prince in his arms and couldn't let go. He smiled and said to Ruyi, "I have already thought about it. The Biography of Emperor Mu says that Jiqi is a jade.

The word "Qi" also means rare and precious.

I intend to name the Fifth Prince Yongqi. Ruyi, what do you think? "

Ruyi thought for a moment, then smiled softly and said, "My fourth prince is called Yongji, and Hailan's fifth prince is called Yongqi. They are indeed a pair of good brothers.

I, your humble servant, dare to ask for a favor from the Emperor. Could you please allow Hai Lan to raise Yong Qi personally instead of sending him to Xiefang Palace?

This way, I can bring Yongji with me and visit Yongqi at the Yanxi Palace from time to time."

The emperor nodded, "Of course. Brothers have grown up together and can be closer. This is a good thing."

In addition, when Concubine Yu was pregnant, I wanted to promote her. Now that she has given birth to a prince, she deserves a reward. I will promote Concubine Yu to Concubine Yu."

Ruyi was naturally happy to hear this, "All three concubines in the harem have princes, which is perfect. I, on behalf of Concubine Yu, thank the emperor for his grace."

The snow had been piling up for days and had never melted.

The pine and cypress trees beside the palace wall stood tall in the snow, with hard icicles and crystal snow beads hanging on their branches.

It feels like the frosty and snowy weather, and the frozen Luo Lake.

Wei Yanwan put on her low-grade palace maid's uniform made of coarse brown cloth again.

Her thin body was shivering in the cold wind, and her breath condensed into white mist in the cold air, almost blending with the surrounding snow scene.

Wei Yanwan's snow-white face was stained with two unnatural red spots due to the cold.

The delicate and fair hands that were originally raised in Xianfu Palace were now covered with festering chilblains, which looked very creepy.

But being in a place like the greenhouse, no one would sympathize or pity her.

Wei Yanwan was standing in the corridor with her head down, holding a half-basket of pine branches in both hands, listening to the lecture from the nanny above.

"I asked you to pick pine branches for the annual offerings in Kunning Palace. How dare you be lazy and only pick a few branches?"

Wei Yanwan explained aggrievedly, "Aunt, the pine branches are too high, I can't reach them at all. That's why I broke off a few of them.

Aunt, look, my hands are all scratched and frozen, it’s not because I’m lazy…”

Before she finished her words, the nanny grabbed Wei Yanwan's ears and pulled them hard, "You slut, how dare you talk back to me?

Ever since you entered the greenhouse, you have been absent-minded in your work. Why, after staying in Xianfu Palace for a few days, do you think you are the master?"

Wei Yanwan cried and begged for mercy, and the nanny let go of her hand.

"You are to stay outside the palace today and not come in. If you don't bring back good pine branches, you won't have to eat dinner."

After saying that, the nanny turned around, lifted the curtain, and walked into the warm hall with charcoal burning.

Wei Yanwan was left alone, sitting dejectedly on the snow-covered steps, her hands wrapped around her knees, sobbing helplessly.

A white handkerchief was handed over to her from the side. Wei Yanwan raised her eyes with tears in her eyes, and saw a woman with luxurious clothes and a noble face looking at her with pity.

Wei Yanwan recognized the person at a glance and knelt down and kowtowed, "Your servant greets the Imperial Concubine Xian."

"Get up. Why are you crying here?"

Wei Yanwan rarely caught a glimpse of warmth from Ruyi's cold voice.
