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

After Ruyi was sent away, the atmosphere in Mulan Paddock suddenly became joyful.

The emperor attributed this to the nourishing pheasant feast that night, because after that meal, everyone in the enclosure had a good night’s sleep and were full of energy the next day!

The emperor led the princes on horseback to encircle the enemy, and gave the tiger skins, fox skins and rabbit skins they captured to the concubines as rewards.

Yanwan also made a hat for the emperor out of fox fur. The emperor wore it all the time and showed it off to everyone he met.

Seeing that the opportunity was right, the Queen briefly told Ruyi about her slander against Concubine Ling, and also said that she had asked Zhao Yitai to investigate. Yanwan and Ling Yunche were just from the same hometown. She had once borrowed ten taels of silver from him and later repaid him. However, Ruyi held on to it and offended her in public, so she decided to send Ruyi to the Queen Mother.

When the emperor heard this, he praised Langya for her good work and said, "If the Empress Dowager can keep an eye on Ruyi, then let her do it."

The emperor saw that Yanwan was considerate and had suffered the grievances caused by Ruyi, so he rewarded her. He didn't believe that Yanwan would leave such a handsome and suave emperor like him and fall in love with a cowardly guard.

Seeing that the matter was settled, the Queen was relieved and asked Jingse to take the younger ones, Yanwan, Yihuan and Muping, out for a horse ride. She also found a small paddock for them so that they would not feel restrained.

Guihong also joined in. She liked the personalities of Concubine Ling and Concubine Qing. They were generous, cheerful and open-minded.

Jingse and Guihong are excellent horsemen, and Yanwan is not far behind with her skills from her previous life. The three of them are riding their horses against the wind in the front, standing proudly and looking heroic.

Yihuan didn't know how to ride a horse at first. He was trembling when he got on the horse, and even after he got on, he lay on the horse's back and didn't dare to move. Mu Ping, on the other hand, was active by nature, and she learned how to control the horse in a short while.

Mu Ping then pulled Yihuan onto her horse, and the two of them rode together, slowly following Yanwan and the other two.

At the very end, Concubine Mei was accompanying Jingyu riding a pony, strolling leisurely in the sunset.

This was the happiest time for Yan Wan in her two hunting lives. She rode her horses with her sisters and galloped freely without worrying about other people's troubles or caring about other people's eyes.

Fu Cha Langya took Xiyue, Lujun, Hailan and Yuyan to eat cakes. Looking at the young ones, she couldn't help but sigh that the sisters were together happily, and that was a good life.

Fu Cha Langya also secretly told them that the year after next would be a big day for the Mongolian princes to gather, and they would also come to Mulan Paddock for the autumn hunting. Everyone was secretly looking forward to it.

Yanwan practiced archery even more attentively, and she didn't stop even when her hands were rubbed raw. Chunchan asked curiously:

"My Lord, your archery is pretty good among women. Why are you trying so hard? Are you going to fight on the battlefield?"

Zhang Yang smiled gently, "No, that's not enough. If I, Wei Yanwan, want to do something, I must do it to the best of my ability."

In the Rehe Palace.

The Queen Mother and Fujia were practicing the Tai Chi boxing routine given by Gao Xiyue. They both sighed that it really worked and they felt refreshed after practicing a set.

Now, apart from the Empress Dowager, the only people living in the palace are Concubine Ying who is recuperating from her injuries and Concubine Ke. These two people keep shouting that they are the pearls of the grassland and insist on going to the palace despite their limping legs.

Seeing the Queen Mother getting up in the morning to practice Tai Chi, Concubine Ying blurted out,

"The Queen Mother knows how to do Tai Chi, hehe."

The Queen Mother thought the two were really noisy, so she confined them to the yard. So the two of them set up a barbecue grill in the yard of the palace and barbecued all day long, filling the entire palace with the smell of charcoal.

The Queen Mother and Fujia were living on their own, and the two were enjoying their wonderful retirement life when someone came to report that the Queen had sent Concubine Xian over.

The Queen Mother felt a chill on her forehead. They were having a great time playing in Mulan Paddock. It was really embarrassing for them to leave these three things to an old lady like her!

The Queen Mother was so angry that she was about to have a headache.

The last time Longyue entered the palace, she said that Ruyi once tried to persuade her to go to Ganlu Temple to admire the ancient Buddhas and green lamps, but was frightened by Longyue and ended up urinating.

The queen probably sent this cowardly and nosy thing to her in order to avoid seeing it.

Filial piety!

When Ruyi arrived at the palace, she looked left and right. The conditions here were much better than those in the tents in the enclosure, and her optimistic nature was awakened again.

"Rong Pei, even if we are sent to the temporary palace, we must live a decent life. Let's go and pay our respects to the Queen Mother."

In the main hall, the Queen Mother had finished practicing Tai Chi and was asking Fujia to help her dress up.

Ruyi sneaked over the threshold with Rong Pei. When she saw the empress dowager, a dazed smile appeared on her stiff face.

"Queen, I am here to pay my respects to you. I have been in Mulan Paddock for many days and I am concerned about your health, so I came to accompany you."

The Queen Mother looked around, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and said nonchalantly:

"Oh? To accompany you? I heard that you were sent here because you offended Concubine Ling with your words and had a fight with the guards in public?"

Ruyi was humiliated and a little annoyed. She took the initiative to take the Luozidai from Fujia's hand and wanted to draw eyebrows for the empress dowager.

Ruyi stood in front of the Queen Mother, looking down at her.

"Empress Dowager, I don't care about all the rumors. What I care about is the deep love and loyalty between the emperor and me."

The Queen Mother looked at Ruyi and said, "Kneel down in front of me and let me look up at you. You are very well behaved."

Ruyi knelt down aggrievedly, and the Queen Mother said, "Princess Xian, don't change the subject when you have nothing to say. You are wrong, and the Emperor and the Empress did not punish you in front of the Eight Banners. This is because they care about their face. Otherwise, how could you still kneel here?"

"As for affection, it's even more ridiculous. In my opinion, the emperor has deeper affection for everyone in the harem than you."

Ruyi didn't believe it. The Queen Mother had watched her and the Emperor come this far, so how could she deny the affection between them?

Ruyi asked with red eyes:

"Empress Dowager, did the late emperor ever shed tears in front of you?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother and Fujia looked at each other, and the Queen Mother almost laughed out loud.

The late emperor shed tears and even breathed his last in front of her.

Before leaving, the late emperor praised her. How did he praise her? Oh, yes, the late emperor praised her as a vicious woman.

Seeing that the Queen Mother remained silent, Ruyi thought that she had finally moved the Queen Mother, so she spoke more affectionately:

"Queen Mother, the Emperor has shed tears in front of me."

Ruyi raised her head, her eyes filled with memories of the past, "At that time, the emperor was still in the palace. He said he was very tired. The fight between brothers and the high expectations of you and the late emperor made him breathless. He said he was very lonely."

The Queen Mother stopped Ruyi and then rolled her eyes, "Stop, the Emperor just said it casually, but you took it to heart. Look at how lonely he is. He already had seven or eight wives and concubines when he was in the palace."

Ruyi seemed to be persuading the Queen Mother, but also seemed to be persuading herself.

"Empress Dowager, I am the only one the Emperor truly wants to marry. Don't you remember? When we were in Jiangxuexuan, the Emperor wanted to give Ruyi to me. If my aunt hadn't committed a crime, I would be his wife, and I would be the Empress now."

The Queen Mother sneered. She had no sympathy for a woman like Ruyi. She expected the emperor's sincerity, lived in the fantasy of the past, ignored her children and her clan, which was simply the stupidest thing in the world.

She didn't mind shattering Ruyi's fantasies.

"Ruyi, I might as well tell you that even if your aunt had not committed a crime, you would not have become Hongli's first wife, given your false appearance during the Third Prince's selection, your poor family background, and your unremarkable appearance. You are not worthy at all.

The emperor likes either Langya's elegance and grace, Guifei's cuteness and charm, Jiafei's brightness and beauty, or Lingfei's intelligence and wit. Otherwise, those who are honest and tolerant like Lujun or talented like Shufei are also loved by the emperor, so they all hold high positions.

"And you, you have no merits at all, so you are despised. Now the emperor and the queen are in harmony, and the queen's harem is in harmony. This is something you can never achieve with your stupidity and selfishness, do you understand?"

After hearing the Empress Dowager's words, Ruyi felt as if hundreds of silver needles were piercing her body. She had always thought that she and the Emperor were a couple separated by force, but now the Empress Dowager told her that the Emperor did not love her at all.

Ruyi covered her chest, raised her head and shouted:

"No, it's not like that, it's not like that, Queen Mother, if you say so, I have no way to defend myself."

The Queen Mother thought Ruyi had lost her mind, and she turned around and said:

"Come here, lock Concubine Xian up in a side hall of the palace with the other two, and put her under house arrest. Do not let her out at all."

Ruyi blinked and a tear fell down her face. The Queen Mother didn't even understand her.

She was dragged powerlessly towards the confined area, and she kept repeating in her heart, "The emperor loves me, the emperor loves me."

At this point, the three sisters who had been confined to the palace met again.
