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

Lan Cui’s wedding was scheduled before the New Year.

Originally, she would never agree to get married this year. She had to wait until the young master was born and take care of Yan Wan after she finished her confinement.

But Yan Wan asked someone to calculate the fortune and found that the eighth day of November this year was a good day. Besides, if she waited until she gave birth to the child, she would have to go to the Mulan Autumn Hunt next year, which would delay it for another year.

So Yanwan decided to let Lan Cui get married this year.

She had asked Wang Chan to take Lan Cui and Zhao Jiuxiao to see the house that had been bought for her in the capital, which was fully equipped with everything.

From the rosewood lotus-patterned bed with a dressing table to the colorful satin mandarin duck pillows of the same color as the bed, each one of them has good meaning.

Lan Cui is very content and has begun to imagine her future life.

Zhao Jiuxiao felt the pressure. The dowry given by Concubine Ling was too expensive. It was a house in the capital, which he could not afford with his lifetime salary.

Wang Chan chuckled and said, "Guard Zhao, there's more to it than that. What the master has prepared for Lan Cui is enough for you two to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your lives."

Wang Chan was not exaggerating. The dowry that the concubines from various palaces sent to the chief palace maid Yan Wan alone filled up three dowry boxes.

Yan Wan not only prepared twenty-four sets of red gold flower head ornaments, but also a single gold necklace, jade bracelet, a phoenix hairpin with kingfisher feathers and silver thread, and so on.

When Lan Cui got married, she was followed by thirty-six loads of dowry.

On this day, the Yongshou Palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The red brocade carpet spread out across the palace stretched as far as the eye could see. Even the glazed tiles on both sides were hung with red satin.

Yan Wan said, the longer the red carpet is, the more prosperous the life will be.

When Lan Cui was married off, Concubine Jia, Concubine Shu and Concubine Qing all came to show their support. Jin Yuyan, who was considered a blessed person by everyone, and she and Yanwan personally helped Lan Cui get on the sedan chair.

Yan Wan's eyes were filled with tears. In this life, she finally did not let Lan Cui down. She personally sent her off to get married, just like she was marrying her own sister.

After sending Lan Cui off, Yan Wan wiped her tears and set her eyes on Chun Chan again.

Lan Cui has her own lover, but Chun Chan has always been with her in her past and present lives, and she also wants to find a good family for Chun Chan.

When Chunchan turned around, she saw her master with stars in his eyes again. She quickly helped Yanwan back:

"My dear master, are you targeting me again? I can tell you that I will not marry. You, the charming Concubine Ling, must have me, the wise and brave Aunt Chunchan, by your side."

Yan Wan smiled and tapped Chun Chan's forehead: "How old are you, and you call yourself aunt?"

Chunchan raised her head proudly, with a smile in her red eyes: "I want to be not only Aunt Chun, but also Nanny Chun. Anyway, I won't marry, I will stay with you."

Yanwan didn't want to force Chunchan, so she just told her that if she found someone she liked, she must tell her, and she would help Chunchan keep an eye out for him among the outstanding guards.

The marriage of Lan Cui to Yongshou Palace was done with the consent of Fucha Langya, who also admired Yanwan's kindness and loyalty, and she also contributed to Lan Cui's dowry.

However, this grand scene and bustle still caused dissatisfaction among some people.

Ruyi was in Yikun Palace, listening to the music and noise coming from Yongshou Palace, and felt disdainful. Wei Yanwan was used to using such vulgar things to win people's hearts.

If he really wanted to treat her sincerely, he might as well allow Lan Cui to come to the palace to serve often, or adopt Lan Cui's child as a half-son, or say a few more heartwarming words to appear more sincere.

Yingpin and Ke Guiren also couldn't stand Concubine Ling's high-profile behavior. The two gathered in Yingpin's Chuxiu Palace and angrily cut the roasted lamb leg.

"Sister Ying, tell me, isn't Wei Yanwan pretending to be too nice? Look at her, she is clearly a vixen. She is pregnant and yet she is still playing fireflies one day and playing Go the next to seduce the emperor to go to Yongshou Palace."

Yingpin took the piece of mutton handed over by Ke Guiren and said, "Who said it wasn't true? This time, she married off the little palace maid with great fanfare, probably just to attract the emperor's attention."

Lady Ke was so angry that she threw the fork in her hand and said, "No, she wants to be in the limelight, so we have to suppress her. Otherwise, where will our Mongolia have a foothold? We will make her suffer in the next Mulan Autumn Encirclement!"

Yingpin nodded heavily and took a big bite of meat.

It was New Year's Eve when Yanwan went into labor.

Fu Cha Langya and the Emperor led the princes and princesses to Kunning Palace to hold an evening ceremony. Upon hearing the news that Concubine Ling had given birth, the two of them finished the ceremony, then got on a sedan chair and went to Yongshou Palace together.

Following behind were Jingse, Jin Yuyan, Yihuan, and Lu Muping, who were worried about Yanwan.

When Jin Yuyan heard that Yanwan was going to give birth, she first asked Zhenshu to go to Yongshou Palace to help boil the old ginseng into soup and prepare it for Yanwan.

Yihuan and Lu Muping were so anxious that they didn't care about the clogs on their shoes and hurried to Yongshou Palace. As they walked, Muping imagined how much pain Yanwan must be in and she cried all the way out of heartache.

Jinzhong also followed the emperor to Yongshou Palace.

The emperor and all the concubines were waiting in the side hall, and Jinzhong was sent to wait at the door of the main hall to keep track of the news inside.

Jinzhong was naturally happy. His angel-like Concubine Ling was about to give birth to a child. For a woman giving birth was like stepping into the gates of hell.

Yan Wan's cries of pain echoed in the silent night. Even though she had given birth many times in her previous life, she still broke out in cold sweats from the pain now, groaning uncontrollably and wishing she would never give birth again.

Jinzhong stood at the entrance of the hall, tiptoed to look inside. He was so anxious that it felt like a thousand ants were crawling around in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any of it.

If you look closely, you will find that the whisk in his hand is shaking constantly.

Jinzhong clasped his hands together and prayed anxiously to the crescent moon above his head:

"Bodhisattva, Buddha, and God, I beg you, Empress Lingfei is a good person, please bless her to have a safe delivery, and don't let her suffer so much pain, if she needs it, please let me suffer it."

Perhaps Jinzhong's anxiety moved God, because at the moment the bell of Taiji Hall rang on New Year's Day, the first cry of a baby was heard in Yongshou Palace.

Jinzhong breathed a sigh of relief: "It's born, but I don't know how Concubine Ling is doing."

Mu Ping and Yi Huan couldn't help but run out when they heard the sound, and couldn't wait to see Yan Wan.

Jin Yuyan followed the emperor and Fucha Langya closely behind, and she secretly wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She had just prayed to all the gods of Taoism, Buddhism and Shamanism. She had never been so nervous even when she gave birth to a child. Her legs were so weak.

Yihuan and Muping had already entered the delivery room to take care of Yanwan who had fainted from exhaustion.

The emperor led his people into the warm room, and Grandma Tian wrapped the little princess in a soft swaddling cloth and held her up to show the emperor.

The little princess was pink and tender, with a pair of eyes very much like Yan Wan. When the emperor teased her gently, a smile appeared on the corner of the little princess' mouth.

Fucha Langya also gently embraced the little princess and coaxed her.

"Your Majesty, the little princess' birthday is on the first day of the first lunar month, a great day. Why don't you show some grace and grant the little princess a title?"

Jingse, who was standing next to her, was very fond of this sister who was 20 years younger than her and asked for a hug. The emperor saw this and thought it was a beautiful scene.

He thought that since Jingse also liked this daughter, he would follow his original wishes and confer the title of Princess Gulun on the princess.

So, on the day the little princess was born, she was given the title of Princess Gulun Hejing, which is homophonic with Jingse's title Hejing.

Everyone in Yongshou Palace, including the midwife, received triple the reward.

Jin Yuyan knew the regret in Yanwan's heart and said to the emperor:

"The title that the Emperor gave to Princess Hejing is really good. If Yanwan could choose the princess' nickname, it would be a great story."

The emperor readily agreed, and after looking at the little princess for a while, he returned to the Yangxin Palace to prepare for the morning court session.

Yan Wan woke up, hugged her daughter and kissed her several times, as if she was a priceless treasure that had been lost and then found again.

Jin Yuyan said that Yanwan could name herself.

In her previous life, Jingxuan's name was given by Yingpin. In order to prevent herself from seeing Jingxuan, Yingpin kept her in the palace and seldom let her out.

In this life, she wants her daughter to grow up in love and tenderness, and become the most confident and brightest woman in the world.

Yan Wan named her Jingxuan, not the seventh princess Jingxuan who was raised in a secluded boudoir by Mongolian concubines, but Princess Hejing of the Gulun clan of the Qing Dynasty - Jingxuan.

Mu Ping was folding Jingxuan's little clothes and said with a smile that on the day Yanwan gave birth, the eunuch Jinzhong who was beside the emperor was anxiously walking around outside the main hall.

After hearing this, Yanwan's fingertips paused and trembled slightly, her heart feeling a mixture of bitterness and sweetness. In this new life, she and Jinzhong are no longer as close as before, but Jinzhong still misses her. This may be the bond of fate.

Seeing Yan Wan's embarrassment, Jin Yuyan came closer and smiled to help: "It's not just Eunuch Jinzhong. I was also so anxious in the side hall that I worshipped all the gods in the world."

Yihuan stood by, looking at the sisters, smiling without saying a word.
