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

The candlelight flickered, and a soft yellow light enveloped the main hall of the Yanxi Palace.

Outside the palace, the ground was filled with silver light. Looking around, the numerous palaces and pavilions were all emitting dots of fluorescent light. In the square world of the Forbidden City, only when the palace gates were closed did these women show a liveliness that could not be seen in the daytime.

When the emperor finished his government affairs and came to the Yanx Palace, Hai Lan had already taken off her hairpins and rings and was waiting quietly.

Although the emperor did not neglect Hai Lan over the years, he only came to see her once or twice a month.

Sometimes he came to have a meal, sometimes to visit Yongqi, and sometimes to see if Hailan had embroidered anything nice and take it away.

Hai Lan was afraid of the emperor as much as possible. She just wanted to live her own life, so she was happy to see it happen.

When the emperor arrived, Hai Lan led everyone in the Yanx Palace to welcome him. Even Tian Yuner in the side hall hurriedly knelt behind the crowd.

In order to show his concern for Yongqi and Hailan, the emperor let Hailan know that he was not deliberately unwilling to find a good wife for Yongqi, and had already sent some gifts to her.

This time, he asked Jinzhong to pick out a pair of statues of a golden boy and a jade girl from the warehouse to reassure Hailan.

He held Hai Lan's hand and comforted her, "Concubine Yu, don't worry. After a few years, when Yongqi is over this disaster, I will arrange a good marriage for him."

Hai Lan just smiled and followed the emperor to the main hall.

After Ye Xin left the palace, Xiangyun took over as the chief maid of Yanx Palace. In recent years, Xiangyun has grown older, and Hailan intends to let her leave the palace early to start a family.

Therefore, Tian Yuner was also trained by Xiangyun and took on the job of a personal attendant.

Tian Yuner had a cheerful personality and always spoke with a smile. When she saw the emperor take his seat, she quickly served him two cups of ginseng tea, her movements as nimble as a swallow on a beam.

Seeing that her master and the emperor wanted to talk, Yun'er tactfully retreated to the door of the main hall.

Yun'er was wearing a plain blue Manchu-style dress in the style of a palace maid, with a few velvet flowers adorning her hair. Because of her young age, she had a kind of elegant charm.

The emperor smiled and said to Hai Lan: "You have become more and more calm in recent years, and the little girl you have trained is also good-natured. I think it is a pity for this girl to be a palace maid."

Hai Lan's heart sank. The emperor wouldn't be interested in Yun'er. He must be testing her with words on purpose.

Thinking of the emperor's character and her own personal experiences when she was young, she knew clearly that if she didn't make things clear and stop the emperor from thinking about it, Yun'er would be in danger.

Even if Yongqi and Yun'er did not have this fate, she would not watch a young girl being favored by the emperor and directly taken into the palace.

What's more, she knew Yun'er. Yun'er was natural and strong-willed by nature. She should have a broader life.

For the first time, Hai Lan spoke to the emperor in a slightly angry tone:

"Your Majesty, Yun'er has been with me since she was a child. I treat her like my own daughter. Yongqi cannot marry now, and I cannot have a daughter-in-law to take care of me. Do you still want to take Yun'er away from me?"

As she spoke, Hailan turned her head away and pretended to be aggrieved.

The emperor rarely heard Hai Lan's questions, and was speechless for a moment.

He just thought Tian Yuner was interesting, so he asked a few questions. Why was Hai Lan so sensitive?

He was a little confused, but the purpose of his visit today was to appease Hailan, so naturally he didn't want to make Hailan unhappy.

Besides, he was rich, so he had everything he wanted. He didn't even care about a little palace maid.

He smiled and took a sip of tea, then touched Hailan's hand and said:

"Concubine Yu, I just praised you for being calm, why are you so angry? I praised her because I saw that you liked this girl. Who said I wanted to take her away? Since you don't want to let her go, then you should raise her like a daughter."

Hai Lan didn't care whether the emperor's words were true or false. As long as the emperor denied that he was interested in Yun'er, she would continue to speak and confirm the emperor's words.

Hai Lan turned around and regained her indifferent smile. She waved gently and called Tian Yuner over.

Yun'er didn't know what was going on. She blinked her big eyes and stood respectfully aside.

Hai Lan looked at the emperor's expression, pointed at the golden boy and jade girl on the table and said:

"Yun'er, I treat you like my own daughter, and the Emperor loves you, too. So, this golden boy and jade girl, the jade girl is given to you, and the golden boy is for Yongqi."

After saying this, Hai Lan hugged the emperor's arm, looked up and asked:

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this arrangement of mine, is it okay?"

The emperor saw that Hai Lan was no longer angry, so he naturally did not bother about how she distributed his reward. He nodded and said:

"I think it's good. Tian Yuner has served you well and deserves this reward."

Yun'er naturally accepted it with great joy. She said loudly:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. I will serve you even more wholeheartedly in the future."

The emperor was also very satisfied with this cheerful girl. He immediately promised that if the child was allowed to get married in the future, he would definitely reward her generously.

Hailan finally let go of her worries.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the emperor had already fallen into a deep sleep. Hai Lan was alone, wrapped tightly in the quilt, with her eyes open.

Whenever the emperor came to the Yanx Palace, she could never fall asleep and could not close her eyes all night.

This is a psychological trauma left over from her youth that she has never been able to overcome.

She thought, if only someone could stand up and speak for her when she met the drunk emperor in the palace.

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes and remembered Ruyi who had helped her get a status. No, it should be Qingying.

At that time, she trusted Qingying unconditionally, but due to various things that happened later, the two of them drifted apart, leaving her with endless heartbreak.

Hai Lan couldn't help but think of the dream again. In the dream, Concubine Yu showed her a fragmented picture of her past and present life.

She only knew that she sacrificed Yongqi for Ruyi and eventually forced Yongqi to death.

Concubine Yu said that when the opportunity came, she would tell herself everything about her past life.

Hai Lan had a hunch that tonight might be that opportunity.

She put on her clothes, stood up and walked outside the temple in the moonlight.

On the stone table, Hai Lan supported her forehead with her elbows and looked up at the bright moon.

In the dim light, a familiar figure appeared in front of her again.

The man said, "Hai Lan, you have finally learned to carry firewood for others, instead of forcing people who share the same suffering to die in the cold night."

She said: "The past is gone, and the past is not worth pursuing. Hailan, I hope that after reading this, you can understand that you were controlled throughout your life in that maze."

In the scene, she killed the Queen's second prince, and with just a few words from Yongqi, she pushed the eldest and third princes into the abyss.

She interrogated Sister Yuyan and told her that she had persecuted Yanwan and even had someone kill Yanwan when she was giving birth.

She is a puppet, a killing tool, and more like a follower of Ruyi. For Ruyi, her hands are stained with blood.

In order to save Ruyi's life, she killed Xiao Lingzi, knelt behind Ruyi, and begged for her forgiveness.

At the end of the scene, before Ruyi died, she said many people's names as if chanting a spell.

Those people died to varying degrees because of Ruyi, but they became the peaceful days she talked about.

However, Keliyete Hailan, Ruyi's closest sister, did not even receive a greeting because she did not meet Ruyi's requirements for a puppet.

Perhaps it was because of this omission that Hai Lan became a hole that tore the plot apart.

In this life, Ruyi subconsciously let go of her puppet and instead wanted to cultivate Ying and Ke, who were more useful, but she didn't expect to fail.

The scene suddenly stopped, and Concubine Yu left the last sentence:

"True or false, empty or nothing, this world is illusory. Don't dwell on the past, untie the knot in your heart and look forward."

When Hailan opened her eyes again, she was already in tears.
