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

Han Xiangjian's move into Jingren Palace did not have any impact on the concubines in the harem. Everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do.

Only Ruyi felt indignant. Why could Han Xiangjian, who had no name or status, live in Jingren Palace, where her aunt lived when she was the queen?

Ruyi thought, fortunately, Han Xiangjian also had a childhood sweetheart, and that sweetheart was dead, and she would not accept the emperor's.

This gave Ruyi an inspiration. She thought, perhaps only if the emperor lost her completely would he miss her for the rest of his life.

This idea gradually took root and repeatedly echoed in Ruyi's mind.

During the days when Han Xiangjian entered the palace, the emperor went to Jingren Palace several times, but was repeatedly rejected.

Han Xiangjian refused to change out of the palace's Manchu clothing and still wore Han tribe clothing. In her eyes, this represented her unyielding character.

Han Xiangjian still refused to eat the food in the palace, saying that this was called refusing to eat food given out of pity.

The Queen Mother smiled again when she heard this. If she had started a hunger strike on the road, she would have been seen shivering by now.

The ladies in the harem all felt a little sympathy for Han Xiangjian from the beginning, feeling sorry for her having to leave her hometown, but gradually they began to feel that they were just listening for fun.

After all, it has been more than ten days, and Princess Xiangjian has not eaten or drunk for more than ten days, but she has not starved to death.

But the emperor could not wait any longer. Han Xiangjian refused to change her clothes and refused to eat, which further aroused his desire to conquer her.

The emperor ordered that all concubines in the harem should actively offer suggestions and think about how to make Princess Xiangjian accept them.

Lu Muping thought about it and thought that if she could eat hometown delicacies in a foreign country, she might feel better, so she suggested finding a few cooks from the Han tribe.

E Yinzhu thought that she was the flower of Mongolia and she only loved Jingsi, the Queen and all her people (including Abu) in her life. If the poor people of the Han tribe could be well settled, Concubine Rong would be happier.

Wang Fuzhi smiled. Many people in the previous dynasty and the harem had complaints about what the emperor had done this time, so she decided to add fuel to the fire. Therefore, she suggested building a cold building in the palace specifically for Princess Xiangjian to live in to relieve her homesickness.

Jin Yuyan thought that the reason why Han Xiangjian refused to enter the palace was because of Han Qi. She believed that Han Qi's death was too tragic. She wrote down a suggestion that it would be better to find Han Qi's body and let Princess Xiangjian see him for the last time.

Yan Wan in Yongshou Palace fell into deep thought. For two lifetimes, the question that troubled her was, was Han Qi really dead? Was it just a coincidence that a roar triggered an avalanche?

So she wrote down a suggestion, asking the emperor to send someone to the Han tribe to investigate whether Han Qi was dead or alive.

……

The emperor flipped through the papers for a long time, and every suggestion seemed feasible until he saw the last crumpled note.

There were seven big characters written on it in hairpin-shaped small regular script: Send Han Xiangjian back to Hanbu!

The emperor could imagine Ruyi sitting on the stool with her butt sticking out, writing every stroke with her teeth gritted.

He made a "tut" sound, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away.

He assigned people to carry out the remaining suggestions.

The emperor thought that distant water could not quench immediate thirst, so it would be better to find someone else to persuade Xiangjian, perhaps it would work.

The first person he thought of was his queen, Langya, but Langya said that He Jing had returned to Mongolia to visit his relatives and left his precious grandson in the palace, and she was unable to spare the time.

The second person the emperor thought of was the considerate Concubine Ling Yanwan. Just as he was about to send someone to pass the message, Chunchan from Yongshou Palace came first and said that Concubine Ling was two months pregnant.

The emperor sent a wave of rewards and also went to see Yan Wan in person.

Yan Wan had severe morning sickness this time, so she naturally had no energy to persuade Han Xiangjian.

Jinzhong saw that the emperor was worried, so he stepped forward and asked. After learning the reason, Jinzhong smiled.

"Your Majesty, after the banquet that day, I heard Princess Xiangjian say thank you to Concubine Xian. I guess the two of them hit it off right away."

The emperor's heart skipped a beat. What was written on Ruyi's note was to send Han Xiangjian back to the Han tribe. If Ruyi went to persuade her directly, Han Xiangjian would probably have to run back to her hometown at night.

He had to call Ruyi over and give her a good beating.

When Ruyi was invited to the Qianqing Palace, she came in anger.

She thought that the emperor had not allowed her to come to the Qianqing Palace for many years, so she wanted to give the emperor the cold shoulder to let him know that she was angry.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was looking at the palace blueprints that the Ministry of Works had rushed out overnight and making modifications himself.

Ruyi bowed, and the emperor actually showed a friendly expression for the first time in a long time.

"Ruyi, look, this is the Baoyue Tower that I want to build for Xiangjian. It's so grand and special."

Ruyi stared and turned her head away, not wanting to see the unique gift that the emperor prepared for Han Xiangjian.

"Your Majesty, I have served you for many years and have always believed that you are a man of great talent and vision. But why, now that you are middle-aged, have you become so reckless?"

The emperor's eyes were blurred with a hint of lust: "Ruyi, you won't understand. I have been with Xiangjian for so many years, and only when I saw her did I feel what it means to fall in love at first sight. I really like her."

Ruyi asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? If you fell in love with Princess Xiangjian at first sight, then what are you and me, and what are these people in the harem?"

The emperor counted on his fingers and answered seriously, "The Empress and I are first wives, Imperial Concubine Hui and Imperial Concubine Chun are companions, Imperial Concubine Shu and Imperial Concubine Ling are confidants, E Yinzhu and Imperial Concubine Qing are playmates, and as for you..."

The emperor deliberately prolonged his tone, "Didn't you say that you and I are childhood sweethearts? Only Xiangjian is the woman I truly love, and she is different from all of you."

Ruyi was panting heavily, and the sagging skin on her face twitched slightly.

"Your Majesty, I see you are so desperate that I am afraid you can do anything. Can't you just look at me? How long have you and I not been together?"

The emperor still wanted Ruyi to do something, so he said perfunctorily:

"Didn't you say you and I are like brothers? Whose brothers sleep together at night? We just want to chat."

Ruyi was so angry at the emperor that she was speechless. She could only resist with silence.

The emperor was fed up with Ruyi's behavior, so he could only use his ultimate move.

"Ruyi, if you can persuade Xiangjian to eat today and prevent her from committing suicide, I will restore your share of the noble lady. What do you think? Just think about it, with the share of the noble lady, you can wear beautiful armor again."

Ruyi lowered her head and looked at the half yellow and half green copper armor on her hands, and she felt extremely eager for the blue armor with gold and silver enamel.

She swallowed and could only nod in agreement.

Ruyi went back and asked Dongmei to bring a bowl of chicken soup, and walked towards Jingren Palace...
