Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

When the emperor heard that Ruyi had given birth to a prince, he was not very happy because he already had enough children.

At the Queen's request, he still followed the old custom and gave the twelfth prince a name.

"璂 is the seam between the leather and the skin." This is Yongji.

Considering that Ruyi gave birth to the royal heir, the emperor promoted her to the position of concubine so that she could have a good rest.

When Ying Guiren and Ke Changzai heard that Ruyi had given birth to a prince, they were almost mad, especially Ke Changzai, who had accompanied Ruyi to eat spicy food for almost half a year and had so many mouth ulcers...

Concubine Ying smashed her teacup and said, "Damn it! Concubine Xian must have done this on purpose. She deliberately hid it from us!"

Ke Changzai covered his ulcerated mouth and said vaguely: "She is really of low character. She has always told us that she is a princess, but she gave birth to a prince. It is simply vulgar and mean!"

Concubine Ying recalled that she was scolded by the Queen when Ruyi gave birth. She suddenly felt that everyone in the harem was a villain, and only they, the Mongolian concubines, had the simplest minds.

In Yikun Palace, Ruyi held Yongqi in her arms, smiling with a swollen face.

"Yongji, Yongji, Rongpei, the emperor must have thought that Yongji could continue the dynasty, so he gave him this name."

Rong Pei didn't want to know what this name meant. There was a row of midwives outside waiting to receive their rewards, but her master was playing dumb, so she had to remind her.

"Master, where is the reward money for the maids? They are still standing at the entrance of the main hall."

Ruyi suddenly had an idea, smiled, let Rong Pei come closer, and whispered a few words to Rong Pei...

After hearing this, Rong Pei was once again shocked by Ruyi's shamelessness. If these words were to get out, Yikun Palace would become a laughing stock in the entire Forbidden City.

At the entrance of the main hall, the midwives looked expectant. Concubine Shu had given a lot of silver when she gave birth, and Concubine Jia was even more generous. Even if Concubine Xian was stingy, she should have given several dozen taels!

Rong Pei stood in the corridor with a gloomy face and head lowered. She did not dare to look at the midwives. She really could not say these words!

"My dear grandmothers, you have helped the Empress to give birth. Now that the Empress has given birth to a prince, she said... we are all destined to be together. I would like to ask all of you to give some money as a gift. It doesn't have to be much. Ten taels of silver per person will be enough."

Rong Pei finished her speech in a halting manner, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Sanbao also had a bitter face, and came forward with a tray to collect money from the grandmothers...

The midwives were even more confused. Did they hear it right? Let them give gifts? My God, this is unheard of!

Several people looked at Grandma Tian, ​​who was the most prestigious person among them and also the one who needed money the most. It was not easy for Grandma Tian to support two families, her ex-husband and her current husband, by herself.

Grandma Tian had never seen such a situation where after serving at a birth, she was chased for money as a gift!

She held her breath in her chest. No, she couldn't bear it at all!

After working so hard to deliver a baby, I still have to pay for it. How can this be justified?

Grandma Tian was the first to kneel down and shouted, "Madam Xianpin, we all work hard to earn our money. You can't treat us like this. We don't have the money to give you a gift."

Several other grandmothers also knelt down, "Yes, Concubine Xian, it's fine if you don't want to reward us with silver, but you can't ask us for money!"

Listening to the grandmothers' voices, Rong Pei also felt angry for them. The master's behavior was too much no matter where it happened.

Seeing the chaos outside, Ruyi proudly pushed open the door, helped Lingzhi out and said:

"My original intention was that the war in Dzungar was tight, and I didn't want to squander it, so I wanted you to donate some money to the court. Since you are all in trouble, I will waive your contributions. You can go away, and there is no need to thank me."

After saying this, Ruyi still felt that it was not elegant enough, so she bowed deeply to the grandmothers before letting Lingzhi close the door.

Several grandmothers were silent, Rong Pei and San Bao were also silent.

The master closed the door so quickly, probably because he was afraid of arousing the anger of the crowd and getting chased and beaten. As for the bow, it was even more ironic, like crocodile tears.

Ruyi inside the door stuck out her tongue and said, "Lingzhi, tell me, have I warmed up Grandma Tian and the others?"

Finally, when Rong Pei sent Grandma Tian out, she couldn't bear to see them dejected, so she whispered to the grandmas:

"The ladies are wronged. If you feel upset, why not go to the emperor and ask for an explanation."

In the Qianqing Palace, Jinbao ran in in a panic and reported, "Your Majesty! It's bad! The midwives are crying at the gate of the Qianqing Palace!"

The emperor was already upset because of the stalemate in the war on the front line. When he heard about the chaos outside, he became even more upset. How could this be possible!

Wondering why the midwives came to the Qianqing Palace, he took Jinzhong and Jinbao out to see.

Seeing the emperor coming out, Grandma Tian tearfully recounted her experience in the Yikun Palace. She cried:

"Your Majesty! We have been guarding the Yikun Palace for two days and two nights, serving Concubine Xian during her delivery. But not only did she not reward us with money, she also asked us to pay for it. We are really wronged! All the grandmothers present have elderly parents and young children to support, and they need to make a living. What should we do?"

When the emperor heard this, he was so upset. This was truly an embarrassment!

How will the bondservants think of the royal family? How will they be so loyal and obedient to the palace in the future?

"Jinzhong, take some silver and divide it among Grandma Tian and the others. Let them live a good life. Jinbao! Come with me to Yikun Palace!"

Jinbao pouted and looked at Jinzhong, who blinked: Go ahead, this is an easy job~

In Yikun Palace, Ruyi was happy about her own intelligence.

In fact, when she was pregnant, the emperor and the two imperial concubines all rewarded her with silver, but she felt that the baby had already been born, so there was no point in giving silver to the grandmothers. Besides, delivering babies was their job.

When Rong Pei saw the emperor coming with his men, she knew that Grandma Tian’s plan must have been accomplished. She looked at her master who was still smiling silly on the bed, and she went over to say that the emperor was here.

A bright yellow figure quickly entered the Yikun Palace. The emperor looked at Ruyi, who was lying on the bed with a double chin and pouting lips, and felt annoyed.

She was wearing a black headband inlaid with turquoise, just like a skinny and dying grandmother waiting for her grandson to see her for the last time.

The emperor became even more upset.

I only heard Ruyi say charmingly and gracefully:

"Your Majesty, are you here to see me and the twelfth prince?"

The emperor got straight to the point and asked coldly, "Ruyi, do you know that because you asked the midwives for money, they all came to the Qianqing Palace to cause trouble? You really made me proud!"

Ruyi opened her mouth in surprise, "Your Majesty, I cannot believe that a few midwives would dare to cause trouble in the Palace of Heavenly Purity just for a few dozen taels of silver!"

The emperor felt that Ruyi was really heartless and didn't know the suffering of the people. He questioned:

"A few dozen taels of silver? An ordinary family outside the palace can live for a year with a dozen taels of silver. You are taking away their livelihood. If their children get sick or have disasters, they will be forced into desperate situations because of your embezzlement. Why don't they dare to cause trouble?"

Ruyi cried and tried to evade the question with her own excuses: "Your Majesty, I asked the midwife to donate money in order to pray for the war in Dzungar!"

The emperor's eyes were like a sharp sword, slashing straight at Ruyi without mercy.

"Ruyi, don't talk about accumulating merit or not. Believe it or not, I'm afraid of dirtying the lintel of the Forbidden City. Since ancient times, I have never withheld money from servants to pray for blessings! You are committing a sin!"

"Don't use the war on the front as an excuse. Everyone can see that you took your anger out on the midwife because of the pain of childbirth. You are so heartless! Let me tell you, they will deduct this money from your monthly salary! Not only that, didn't you want to pray for blessings? The reward I was going to give you this time will be donated to the front line. From now on, all the money you deserve during the holidays will be gone!"

After saying this, the emperor turned away and ordered the midwives who delivered the babies to be rewarded.

Ruyi was still half lying on the bed in a daze. She wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, feeling cold on her body and heart. A tear fell from the corner of her eye...

She gave birth to a prince for the emperor. How could the emperor scold her like that and not even look at Yongji?

And what about Grandma Tian? Why didn’t she let her give the gift money, and instead went to frame her in front of the emperor?

Ruyi also heard that Hai Lan had brought Grandma Tian's daughter Tian Yuner to her palace as a maid.

It must be Jin Yuyan! It must be Wei Yanwan! It must be Hailan! They bribed Grandma Tian to harm her.

Ruyi hugged herself. She was being plotted against again...
