Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

All the concubines went to Changchun Palace to thank the emperor and empress, this position is justified.Of course, Concubine Gao is very worried about the fact that she has no title, and using her father's official position to run on Ruyi's father is just a small leader and should not be reused.

Ruyi didn't care about this, anyway, she didn't expect Concubine Gao to understand the interests and interests of the Manjun Banner family in the court, and she didn't want to use Nian Gengyao's example to teach her to restrain herself.After all, Nian Gengyao made great achievements in battle, so what does her Ama Gaobin have?Isn't it just to get the water control book left by A Ruo and Ama Guiduo? What kind of skill is it?

This time, Ruyi is a noble concubine with a title, and Hailan is a noble person who is on an equal footing with Jiagui, so naturally Gao Guifei and the others can't take advantage of it.As for the Empress, Zuo just used the streamlined clothes to stand up and show off his simplicity and virtuousness.Ruyi has nothing to do, just listened to Jiagui being there for a while, and she was just obedient.

It was really boring, but Ruyi persuaded the pure concubine, not letting her go to the empress's fun, and even invited her to Yikun Palace for a chat after the empress came out.Although the friendship between Concubine Chun and her is not as good as that of Hailan, but with the favor of these two recent incidents, she is naturally a little closer to Ruyi.Thus, Pure Concubine formally joined the Ruyi faction.

Right now there are few people in the harem, and the current situation is unclear, but the old man in the hidden mansion has already divided himself into two factions, the Queen and the Concubine Xian, and they only maintain superficial affection for each other.Furthermore, just like what Ruwan promised, living alone without a sense of existence is no different from dying.

The emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are not many days in the harem.Every day, the respect room handed over the cards, and only three or four days later, a green card was turned over, first the queen, then Ruyi, then Gao Guifei, pure concubine, as if they came in order.And she can't serve the bed, so when the emperor comes, he usually stays at Hailan's place nearby.

The days in the palace will only get longer day by day, and even the heavy golden animal spines are suppressing the resentment of the women in the palace.Hailan deeply understands this truth, so she doesn't care about the emperor like she did when she was in the residence.After a long time, the emperor also liked her for being sensible and quiet, and gradually increased his favor, and there would be rewards from time to time.

But Hailan never cared.If there was really someone in her heart, it would be Ruyi.

The wind was so strong that night that even the several colored chrysanthemums in Yikun Palace were blown off and piled up on the ground.The weather in the capital, after mid-October, is getting colder every day.Ruyi has been pregnant for more than five months. After dinner, she changed into Yanju's elegant blue silk embroidered five-petal plum pattern shirt. There are five-petaled plum blossoms in light crimson color. The stamens of each plum blossom are embroidered with pink and white rice beads the size of rice grains.A few new fireplaces were installed in the ground floor, all of which were filled with high-quality silver-shaving charcoal, which gave off a refreshing pine scent, which made her body, which was seriously ill, feel much more comfortable.

Ruyi leaned on the couch in the Nuan Pavilion with a volume of palace poems, listening to the wind outside the window sobbing, her eyes were a little tired.She closed her eyes in a daze, as if she had returned to the Rouyi Palace in her previous life in a daze, and suddenly her hands were empty, and the scroll in her hand seemed to be taken away by someone.As if in a dream, she scolded, "Why is Shiro always like this?"

She seemed to be breathed by someone on her face. She was startled, and suddenly opened her eyes, only to see the emperor leaning forward with a smile, shaking the book in his hand and saying, "How do you know it's me? Well, Shiro , so you always call me like this in your dreams?"

A chill suddenly rose up her back, and Ruyi hurriedly got up to bless her. For the first time in her life, she was glad that they both ranked fourth, "When the emperor came, he didn't let anyone know. He just came to see the jokes of his concubines." She tried her best. Make your voice sound a little coquettish without showing any trembling.

The emperor smiled and rubbed his hands, sat down on the couch, and was about to drink the tea on the red sandalwood table.Ruyi hurriedly stopped him and said: "This tea is cold, my concubine can give the emperor a hot cup." Then she turned around to call Yizheng, and brought up the Poria cocos soup that was warming in the small kitchen, "Your Majesty, please drink Come on, warm yourself up."

The emperor accepted it as he said, took a sip, and said: "I originally went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to the Empress Dowager. The people from the House of Internal Affairs came back at noon and said that it might be very cold, and the Empress Dowager is too old to bear the cold. Just take a look when you go to ask for peace, and let the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly warm the earth dragon, so as not to freeze the queen mother. The cold is unbearable this way, I don’t want you to be the same as when you were in Qiandi, regardless of whether I come or not, There's always a cup of soup warm in the kitchenette."

"The emperor cares about the queen mother, so he should take care of himself." Ruyi smiled peacefully, "Although this soup is good, it's enough for the emperor to drink a few sips to warm it up. The emperor just had dinner, and it's inevitable that he will eat more meat when the weather is cold. Drinking qi-invigorating soup is easy to stagnate."

The emperor smiled at Ruyi, and put down the soup bowl, "You have always been meticulous. I asked Jiang Yubin today, and I heard that you don't have a good appetite. What kind of delicious food can you think of? If so, just order Yushan The room will be delivered." He held her hand tightly, "When it's cold, my hands and feet are cold, don't I know what's wrong with me, and I don't put on more clothes, anyway, I still watch the child." He saw the couch Throwing a lake-colored pink embroidered white wisteria flower pipa lapel jacket with a lake color, she stretched out her hand to put it on for Ruyi,

Ruyi couldn't help being in a daze at such a familiar time, and she dimpled: "It's just in the room, these earth dragons are warm, so there's nothing wrong with it." After all, she also gathered her clothes.

The emperor smiled, casually glanced at the book that Ruyi had just read, and read word by word, "Bi is beautiful Yuan Jixi, soft and fragrant Yiyi. Yao is heavy and exhausted, chasing Weifu. Yin is weak and humble." , Ziyang looks precious. Longevity and health are here, and the benefit of the future." He paused for a while, and said slowly: "Liu Kai mourns Yuan Ji, this speech is really sad, why do you think of reading this?"

Ruyi smiled lightly, pointed to the first line and said, "It's just that the line 'rou fang yi yi' is combined with the name, so the concubine only takes a second look, whoever looks seriously."

The emperor closed the book and said quietly: "I sat in court in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, discussed matters with ministers in the Palace of Qianqing, and reviewed memorials in the study room of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. If you don't read it carefully, it is indeed what I think. .When you are in the "locked golden beast chain cold, water droplets and copper dragons grow long in the day", I am also listening to Genglu dealing with state affairs; you are combing in the cloud bun and facing the mirror, Luo Yi wants to change and add more fragrance ', I was thinking about how you and your child are living in Yikun Palace, is everything going well?"

Xuan Ling in his previous life never had such a confession.But Ruyi understood that the emperor said so, but he couldn't give her complete love or trust.He was like Xuan Ling, but not as thorough and enthusiastic as Xuan Ling gave.

She leaned on the emperor's shoulder, feeling his warm breath.There was a faint fragrance on the emperor's body, it was the special ambergris for the emperor's family, and she had smelled it countless times in the past and present.The fragrance was sombre with a touch of bitterness, but it was delicate and appropriate, reminding her of that bright and bright man.

Sometimes, Ruyi wondered if she was crazy.

In the warm pavilion stood a pair of red copper lamp stands with cranes in their mouths. The red candles on the stands were covered with a milky white gauze like cicada wings, and the light that came out turned into the moonlight of eighteen or nineteen, as clear as porcelain, but dimly yellow. warmth.The emperor stood with his back to the light, and there was such a halo behind him. Ruyi only felt that such a back was very familiar, which made her feel relieved for no reason.

After a long time, the emperor suddenly said: "I have prepared a gift for you."

Turning around and looking at each other, in a blink of an eye, Wang Qin came in with two young eunuchs holding a picture, and greeted Ruyi with a smile: "Greetings to Concubine Xian."

Ruyi smiled and nodded: "Get up."

Wang Qin agreed, and ordered the little eunuch to unfold the calligraphy, but it turned out to be the four characters of Douda - Shen Zan Huiyin.

The emperor smiled and said, "I wrote it for you myself, how about it?"

The scene of deja vu made Ruyi's heart warm, and that year Xuan Ling also did it in one go, and wrote a pair of "flowers are good and the moon is full and people last forever".Ruyi was stunned for a moment, then bowed her knees and said, "My concubine, I thank the emperor."

The emperor quickly supported her, and said softly: "The "Book of Songs" says 'Da Si's Huiyin, then Bai Sinan'. Huiyin is a good reputation, and the word 'shen' tells you that only by being cautious can you get a good reputation. To live in the palace in the future, I will give these four words to you first, and also to our future children."

Ruyi understood the deep meaning of the emperor's words, but she was only telling her not to argue with Concubine Gao, so she muttered, "The concubine ordered the people in the House of Internal Affairs to make a plaque with the emperor's words and put it in the main hall of Yikun Palace. good?"

The emperor put his arms around her shoulders: "You and I understand each other's meaning, that's the best."

In the days to come, the emperor rested overnight in each palace according to his status, which is called "rain and dew are all covered".Afterwards, the emperor casually flipped through the signs and counted them down. Concubine Gao and the nobles usually spent the most time in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and then went to Yikun Palace to accompany Ruyi for a few days, and stayed in the Hall of Yuanhe by the way. Hailan Office.In addition to the new moon of every month, the emperor also likes to sit in the queen's palace and gossip about family affairs.The other old people in the hidden mansion, such as Chun Concubine, Yi Guiren and Wan Ying, etc., all fell silent.

After several snowfalls, the Forbidden City entered winter.The House of Internal Affairs is busy with the affairs of various palaces, among which Changchun Palace, Yikun Palace, and Xianfu Palace are naturally the first, and by the way, they also treated the favored and generous Hai Lan very favorably.

In the afternoon of this day, Ruyi was sitting and drawing flowers with Hailan, when Yizheng lifted the curtain and came in, and said in a low voice: "The news came from outside, saying that the emperor remembered the elder brother who died in the hidden mansion last year." His birth mother said a few words "it's a pity". Now the emperor has made a decree to posthumously confer Fucha Gege as concubine Zhe, and the posthumous ceremony will be performed in two days. Ma'am, light it up."

Ruyi nodded and said she got it, and looked at Hailan, "With the queen's temperament, this Dafa event will be difficult to bear. It's still the emperor's golden words. If she shirks it to others, she will be ruthless to her own people."

Hai Lan drew a stroke of peony, and said softly: "When I was in the mansion, I heard people gossiping, saying that the queen married the emperor as the first wife, but she had no heirs for many years. Concubine Zhe came in, and soon gave birth to an elder brother. Although the empress later gave birth to a second elder brother, after all, the first son is not the eldest son, and he loses the face of Fujin."

"Being stumbled by her mother's family, how can the queen not have a heart." Ruyi smiled like a spring breeze, "I once heard the emperor say that Concubine Zhe was the first woman to make him fall in love. But there is no holiday, Zhe After all, the concubine does not have such a profound destiny."

Concubine Zhe's death is still a mystery in this palace, and no one would think of Mrs. Jiagui.Ruyi would not tell Hailan without evidence, so Hailan only thought that her sigh was because of Concubine Zhe's concubine's fate, and elder brother's mother who lost his mother when he was young.

"Speaking of which, the empress is getting more and more stingy. If she hadn't had trouble with Concubine Gao, how could the emperor have given plaques to all the palaces for no reason? No need to make people laugh." Hailan couldn't help laughing.It's rare for her to mention others' faults behind her back, which surprised Ruyi.

Ruyi compared Bihua's appearance, and said with a smile: "The queen has a heart, so these things are naturally left to Concubine Gao. The emperor relies heavily on the Gao family and doesn't want me to sink his heart, so that's all he can do. This plaque is not so much a Grace is more like a warning to everyone in the harem."

The two of them chatted for a while, but then they were speechless.That night, the emperor didn't turn over the sign, but Fengluan Chunen's chariot was walking on the long street, which aroused the curiosity of every woman in the harem.Only Ruyi understands that the chess piece arranged by the Queen Mother has arrived.

The next day, I greeted the queen, and all the concubines really knew the emperor's oral order to Feng Nanfu musician Bai Ruiji for Mei.As the first newcomer after the emperor's ascension to the throne, and with such a humble status, but living alone in the Yonghe Palace and staying in bed for many days, Mei's promise undoubtedly aroused everyone's curious eyes.

But after careful investigation, they found that Mei promised to be sent to the palace by Ulanara's family in the eighth year of Yongzheng, and she also got the consent of Jingren Palace Empress.So everyone, especially the empress and concubine Gao, thought that Mei promised to be Ruyi's person, and hated her deeply.

"Sister, what should I do?" Hailan couldn't wait to say as soon as she returned to the West Nuan Pavilion of Yikun Palace.In fact, she has always been very stable, but she panicked when she met Ruyi.

"No, no need to do anything." Ruyi poured a glass of Qi Hong in person and placed it in front of Hailan in a slow manner, "The empress and concubine Gao have been hostile to me for more than a day or two, it doesn't matter if Mei agrees or not. You naturally know that Mei promised to have nothing to do with me, so why don't you think about it again, who has the ability to take the people who were sent into the palace by Ulanara for their own use without being noticed by the concubines?"

Hailan thought carefully for a moment, and a light flashed in her mind. She hesitated and said, "Could it be the Palace of Compassion and Ning...how could it be? Isn't the Queen Mother never interfering in the affairs of the harem?"

Ruyi thought to herself that Hai Lan was really smart, and soothed her doubts with a soft smile: "The queen mother does not interfere in the harem, but there must always be a queen mother's eyes and ears in the harem to help the queen mother find out the movements of the concubines. Only in this way can the queen mother guarantee There are no mistakes in major matters in the harem."

"So the Empress Dowager chose Mei and agreed." Hailan nodded, and said again: "But isn't this making my sister a target? Others are fine. What if the emperor misunderstood something?"

Ruyi shook her head, and the Ruyi Hexian hanging pearl hairpin in her hair made a pleasant sound, "This is the queen mother's brilliance. I went to see the queen mother that night, and on the surface it was to ask for what the queen mother needed. , In fact, the Queen Mother has long needed a high-ranking concubine to do things for her. Now that the Queen Mother deliberately chooses Mei to agree, so that everyone in the harem will be dissatisfied with my new life, I can only rely on the big tree of the Queen Mother, and I can't help myself."

Hai Lan couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that my sister is still so difficult even though she is a noble concubine."

"What regrets do I have. What does the queen mother want to do, do I have to do what she wants? My name is Ruyi, and I don't want to make everything go well for others." Ruyi snorted lightly, "The emperor is always suspicious. I was only 12 years old when I promised to enter the palace, and I haven’t seen the empress of Jingren Palace for a long time, how can I use her to invite favor? Maybe the emperor can’t figure it out for a while, but I will understand after a long time. It’s a pity that I He also told the emperor that the empress dowager has a deep love for his mother and son, and then turned around and put people around the emperor, this suspicion is inevitable."

"It's good that my sister has an idea, and I can rest assured." Hailan sighed, "It's just that Ye Xin went to the Yonghe Palace to give gifts today. Both Jiagui and Yigui sent things, and even Gao Guifei also rewarded a lot of things. Well, only the pure concubine did not show up, maybe it was fifteen today, the pure concubine went to see the third elder brother at the elder brother's place, and when she came back, she was also sad that her son was not by her side, so she couldn't take care of these etiquettes for a while."

Ruyi fixed her eyes and sighed, "If you have time, go to Zhongcui Palace and tell her that people must live, and don't waste the opportunity to change it in the future because of the fact that it cannot be changed now."

The warm pavilion was brightly lit, faintly revealing Hailan's repeated sighs and Ruyi's calm demeanor. The icicles under the eaves were dripping with ice water, drop by drop, knocking on the silent night of the Forbidden City, disappearing in silence.
