"Yuyan, I didn't expect you to understand me so well. I am really touched. I am confused now. Why can't I control myself and always want Ruyi to be by my side? But when Ruyi is around, I always get angry."

Yuyan sighed. The emperor finally came to his senses. As for why he always wanted to be nice to Ruyi, it might be because in the previous stories, Ruyi was the protagonist. This was Ruyi's protagonist halo. Jin Yuyan secretly vowed that she would take off Ruyi's protagonist halo completely.

On the second day, the emperor decided to verify his idea again. He wanted to ask his beloved wife Langya about her opinion on monogamy to prove that it was Ruyi, the stupid person, who was wrong.

The emperor looked at Langya who was picking food for him and asked, "Langya, have you ever thought about living with me as a monogamous man for the rest of your life, like an ordinary citizen?"

Langya felt that the emperor had a fever and would not attack the Fucha family. From childhood to adulthood, her mother taught her how to assist her husband in managing the inner house and how to take care of concubines and children. In her concept, the words wife and concubine always appear together. Could it be that the emperor thought that she was jealous and did not do her job as a queen?

She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor and Empress are not ordinary couples. If their minds are filled with love affairs and they are sad all day long, wouldn't that make people laugh? What I want in my heart is that the Qing Dynasty can have good weather and good harvests, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Only in this way can we live up to the hard work of our ancestors in starting a business from scratch."

The emperor was moved and held Langya's hand. Langya was also very nice.

On the third day, the emperor decided to verify for the last time that he had done nothing wrong. He went to the arrogant Concubine Hui. Concubine Hui was playing the pipa for him. When she heard the emperor ask if she wanted to be monogamous, she seemed to have heard some great joke. She stopped playing the pipa and asked with a puzzled look on her face:

"Your Majesty, if you are monogamous, what will I do? Will I never see the Empress again? I do not agree to this!"

The emperor nodded. What Concubine Hui said made sense. He would be reluctant to lose any of his beauties.

The emperor, who received a lot of affirmation, regained his former vigor and confidence. He felt that Ruyi would come out soon, and when she came out, he would let her learn more from the empress and Concubine Hui and broaden her mind.

The days passed peacefully and smoothly, and time passed quietly in the Forbidden City. One day, Fucha Langya was flipping through the account books in the palace, and the nanny who was serving the Second Prince ran in in a panic.

"Empress, Concubine, the Third Princess and the Eldest Prince are arguing! We see a fight is about to start, please go over and take a look."

When Fu Cha Langya arrived at the prince's residence, she heard Jingse's loud shout from inside the prince's residence:

"Although you are my eldest brother, your biological mother is Concubine Zhe, and your adopted mother is Concubine Gui. A concubine is a concubine, and a concubine is a concubine. In terms of status, your status is not as good as mine!"

Fu Cha Langhua was so angry and anxious after hearing what Jingse said that she almost vomited blood. She took two quick steps and slapped her beloved daughter in the face.

"Snapped"

"Jingse, shut up!"

Jingse and Yonghuang were both shocked by Fucha Langya's slap, especially Jingse. She had been a favored daughter since birth. The emperor had only one daughter, and the queen mother had never said a harsh word to her.

"Mother Queen, why did you hit me?"

Fu Cha Langya held Jingse's hand, her tone was more severe than ever before, "Apologize to your elder brother, bow to your elder brother, the Empress Dowager doesn't want to say it a second time."

Jingse was scared. The Empress Dowager was really angry. In fact, she regretted what she said. She wanted her eldest brother's inkstone, but her eldest brother said that it was very important to him and could not be given away.

She had never been rejected since she was a child, so naturally she started to fight for it. She didn't expect that her eldest brother, who was usually generous and never competitive, would protect her so desperately. She was so angry that she said those words.

Under the pressure of the Queen Mother, Jingse said, "Brother, I'm sorry. Jingse was wrong. Jingse shouldn't have said those words to hurt your heart. Please forgive Jingse."

Yonghuang remembered what his mother said, that he was the eldest brother and should take the initiative to set an example for his younger brothers and sisters. Moreover, his sister Jingse didn't know how important the inkstone was to him. He was too stubborn about this matter. He also bowed to Jingse and the Queen Mother.

"Sister Jingse, I apologize to you too. I am willing to give you whatever you want, but this inkstone is the first gift my mother gave me. I want to keep it for myself, so I am sorry."

Fu Cha Langya squatted down again and comforted Yonghuang, and asked Lianxin to give Yonghuang a set of four treasures of the study that she brought as a dowry as an apology.

After Yonghuang left, Fucha Langya touched Jingse's slightly red face and asked distressedly and angrily: "Does it hurt?"

Jingse covered his face and said, "It hurts, Queen Mother. I shouldn't have quarreled with my elder brother, nor should I have said anything to hurt him. I just remember that you always said that I was the legitimate daughter of the Empress Dowager, the most noble person in the world, and those illegitimate brothers and sisters were not as good as me. I didn't mean it..."

Fucha Langya sighed slightly and said to Jingse seriously, "Jingse, the Queen Mother told you before that you are the legitimate daughter of the Central Palace. It's not to let you use your status to pressure others, but to tell you that a noble status brings more responsibilities. As the eldest sister, you should love your younger siblings. Your eldest brother is generous and doesn't blame you, but you can't use these words to hurt your relatives anymore. Besides, have you forgotten? Your Royal Mother was also a concubine before. You said this about legitimate and illegitimate children, which will also make your Royal Father sad and angry. These will only make the relatives sad and the enemies happy. Do you understand?"

Jingse nodded, and Fucha Langya called Jingse's governess nanny to reprimand her, telling them that no one was allowed to talk about legitimate or illegitimate matters in front of the princess anymore.

Fu Cha Langya, who was about to return to Changchun Palace, sat on the Fengyi and always felt that something was wrong.

Why was I so confused before, always talking to Jingse about things like the legitimate daughter of the empress, legitimate daughter of the empress, and so on? Why should I announce such matters of status out loud?

On the second day, all the palaces paid their respects to the Empress. In Changchun Palace, Bai Ruiji, who had not appeared for a long time, showed up again.

These days, relying on the protection of the empress dowager, she had been squatting in Yonghe Palace and eating fish and shrimp with peace of mind. Perhaps because she ate too much fish and shrimp, her mouth was covered with blisters, which hurt when touched. But the imperial physician just said that she had a sore throat. She was about to give birth and had blisters, so she felt depressed, so she was willing to come out of the palace for a walk.

When Jin Yuyan arrived, everyone was talking about Bai Ruiji's blisters, and Jin Yuyan suddenly felt something was wrong.

In her previous life, she had Concubine Chun tell Bai Ruiji to eat more fish and shrimp, and had someone give her cinnabar, using this situation to bring down Ruyi. But in this life, she did nothing, so why was Bai Ruiji still so serious?

She had lived two lives, so she naturally knew that eating only fish and shrimp would not lead to this state. There must be someone secretly harming her. Jin Yuyan almost immediately thought of A Ruo.

Thinking of Bai Ruiji's child and her ending, she felt sad. In this life, she wanted Bai Ruiji to give birth to the child safely. After everyone left Changchun Palace, she called out to Bai Ruiji:

"Mei Changzai, please stay."

Bai Ruiji stroked her face and turned around, "What does Concubine Jia want to talk to me about?"
