Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 8 Promise to Bai
This was the scene that Ruyi dreamed of in her previous life.
But for Ruyi now, she only feels hypocrisy, disgusting and annoying.
"Ruyi, I remember that when we were in the palace, you often combed my hair. Today, let me serve you for once." The emperor sighed as he combed Ruyi's hair.
Ruyi blushed and nodded slightly.
The emperor dipped a wooden comb into some hair-combing water and asked in confusion, "What kind of water do you use to comb your hair? It doesn't seem to be the usual elm leaf shavings water."
"This is the flower water that Suo Xin developed for me. It is mixed with several Chinese medicinal herbs, such as black essence, ginkgo nuts, and saponins, and snow water from plum blossoms, and is scented with gardenia and jasmine. Combing your hair with this water often will make it black and strong."
Ruyi used water to fiddle with the petals on the water and answered playfully.
"People often say that we should grow old together. You often use this kind of water to comb your hair. Doesn't that mean we should grow old together with black hair and not white hair?" The emperor teased, leaning closer to Ruyi and gently sniffing the fragrance of Ruyi's hair.
Ruyi snuggled into the emperor's arms and said, "Your Majesty is always making fun of me."
Ah Ruo slowly came from behind the rosewood flower-carved floor-standing shade and brought a cup of Qiyun melon slices, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"I guess the emperor just finished his meal. The weather is cold, so he must have eaten a lot of meat. This tea is the best for removing dirt and grease, and removing stagnation."
The emperor glanced at A Ruo upon hearing this and casually praised her, "A Ruo is really thoughtful. Ruyi, it can be seen that you have trained her well."
A Ruo lowered her head shyly and stood aside.
Ruyi couldn't bear to watch such unruly words and actions. But it was not the time to touch A Ruo yet.
In her previous life, Ah Ruo gave Ruyi a huge "surprise". This time, Ruyi had to return the favor twice as much to live up to her expectations.
Ruyi followed the emperor's words and praised A'ruo for her cleverness. A'ruo then lowered her head and ran out shyly.
With Ruyi's encouragement, Hai Lan has been dressing more and more beautifully recently.
What kind of woman doesn't love beauty? In addition, Hailan was originally an embroiderer, and her embroidery skills were outstanding, so the clothes she made were also particularly bright and unique.
On this day, Hai Lan made two similar dresses and showed them to Ruyi like presenting a treasure.
"Look, sister. This is a dress I made with silver thread, pearls and brocade.
It looks normal indoors, but once it is exposed to sunlight, it becomes dazzling and looks like a fairy."
Hailan excitedly showed off the details of the clothes and kept gesturing while trying them on her body.
"This one, the lake blue one with the wave pattern, is mine, and this one, the spring green one with the cherry blossom pattern, is my sister's. Sister, put it on and show it to me."
Ruyi couldn't resist Hailan's enthusiasm and put on the new clothes reluctantly.
The two of them were dressed beautifully and stood side by side, looking like a pair of real sisters.
Hai Lan's smile, as warm as the sun, made Ruyi's heart brighten unconsciously.
Since being reborn here, Ruyi hasn't been so happy for a long time.
At this time, A Ruo came to report that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had sent some white flower sachets to each palace.
Ruyi's eyes gradually turned cold.
She did not forget that in her previous life, Bai Ruiji used Baihuadan to deliberately frame her.
Hailan picked up the sachet with great interest and played with it carefully.
But she just glanced at them for a few seconds, then said to Ruyi, "Sister, why are the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs so lazy again?
Not only are the stitching on this sachet rough, but the white flower inside is also inferior.
Let me take it back, rework it, and then give it to my sister."
Ruyi shook her head. "No need. I don't like white flower stalks. If you like it, take this sachet and play with it."
Hai Lan sat in the sun-filled courtyard, opening the sachet and chatting with Ruyi.
"Sister, do you know that I heard that the emperor took in a new woman a few days ago, who is said to be a pipa player from the Southern Palace.
Logically, the title should be given to the women officials first. But the emperor favored her and gave her the promised position directly, with the title of Mei. "
"Nan Mansion?" Ruyi knew that this was probably Bai Ruiji.
The first chess piece buried by Empress Dowager Zhen Huan was a hateful yet pitiful person.
In her previous life, because of the frame-up by A Ruo and others, Bai Ruiji mistakenly believed that it was Ruyi who killed her child.
So Bai Ruiji slapped and whipped Ruyi like a mad dog.
Thinking about it now, Ruyi feels that she was so cowardly and vulnerable at that time.
It was unbelievable that a high-ranking imperial concubine would be beaten in public by a low-ranking concubine.
Bai Ruiji has won the emperor's favor recently. For several days, the sound of the Fengluan Chun'en carriage has never stopped.
On this day, all the concubines came to pay their respects to the queen as usual.
After everyone had completed the formalities and taken their seats, Bai Ruiji arrived late, holding the hand of the palace maid Suyun.
She was wearing a light pink warm satin gown embroidered with gold thread. The two pearl flowers on her head were replaced with flower buds made of colorful gems, which sparkled and made her look more beautiful than flowers.
"Your concubine, Bai from Yonghe Palace, pays her respects to the Empress and all the ladies." Bai Ruiji paid her respects in a tender voice and then turned around and returned to her seat.
After Bai Ruiji sat down gracefully, she explained indifferently, "I should have come to see the Queen earlier. Unfortunately, it's cold and snowy, so I came only today."
Fu Cha Langya did a decent job of saving face. She said dignifiedly and gently, "It's enough as long as the intention is there. The sisters in the palace will see each other every day in the future.
We are all kind and good-natured, so we just need to get along well with each other in the future."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Yuyan couldn't wait to speak, "Not only do we get along well, but the emperor also loves his sister very much.
Look at the clothes my sister is wearing. They are the warm satin tributed by Jiangning. This kind of warm satin is so rare that even the Empress doesn’t have it in her palace.”
Bai Ruiji was not afraid of Jin Yuyan's weird tone and replied, "Really? The emperor only gave me clothes as a reward. How would I know if he gave any reward to others?"
Jin Yuyan was so embarrassed that she could only keep silent.
Gao Xiyue saw this and said indignantly, "The Queen advocates simplicity in the harem. It's a bit too luxurious for you to wear this dress just for your consent."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bai Ruiji did not reflect on it, but touched the amber bead pendant hanging on her clothes and asked calmly, "But, the emperor likes me to dress like this.
Madam Hui, do you think I should listen to the Emperor or the Empress?"
Gao Xiyue had never seen anyone who dared to look down on her. She got so angry that she was about to slam the table and stand up.
Fu Cha Langya interrupted in time and said, "The emperor's wishes are the most important thing. It's cold outside and the roads are slippery. You should all go back early."
The greeting ended in such a hasty and sloppy manner.
After leaving Changchun Palace, Ruyi looked beside Hai Lan, but did not see Ye Xin.
I couldn't help but ask, "Hai Lan, where is your personal maid Ye Xin? Why didn't I see her today?"
Hailan smiled slightly and responded, "These few days, I asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a batch of colored satin. But I didn't expect that when it was put into the warehouse, it was accidentally stained by the snow water on the eaves.
Colored satin is delicate and will be unusable if it is stained by snow water. But the Empress advocates simplicity, and I don't want to cause trouble, so I didn't ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for it.
Fortunately, Xiangyun was smart. She reminded me that I could cut off the parts of the colored satin that were stained with snow water, and a lot of the rest would be retained.
You know, Ye Xin is very careful and does things very well, so I left her in the palace to help me deal with the colored satin. These two days, I have been keeping Xiangyun with me. "
Ruyi had some impression of the name Xiangyun.
There is no other reason, it's just that in the previous life, when Hai Lan was framed by Gao Xiyue for stealing red charcoal, it was Xiang Yun who was the first to stand up and give false testimony.
