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

"Ruyi, didn't the Queen Mother say that Rong Pei saved her? That's why I was willing to give Rong Pei a chance to serve in the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, I would have executed her long ago. Why do you say today that it was Ling Yunche who saved the Queen Mother?"

Ruyi thought about it and realized that she couldn’t deny Rong Pei, but she also had to save Ling Yunche.

"Your Majesty, Rong Pei did save the Queen Mother, but it was Ling Yunche who killed Concubine Ji. Now Ling Yunche is waiting for his post, and I cannot watch this pearl in obscurity."

The emperor nodded: "In that case, let him come to my Qianqing Palace first and be a royal guard."

Ruyi was satisfied. This was really a great gift from heaven. She smiled sweetly.

Seeing that Ruyi was happy, the emperor asked Li Yu to bring the green plum powder he had made for Ruyi.

"Ruyi, this green plum powder is made by me using one coin each of myrrh, white sandalwood, and borneol, and grinding the white lotus buds, white hollyhocks, kaempferia, and scutellaria baicalensis, which are in full bloom in this season, into a very fine powder, and mixing it with pearl powder and egg white to make a powder. I then asked the most skillful maid in the palace to pick fresh and plump green plum buds, and then carefully poured the powder into the buds, tied the flower tips with thread, sealed them in a flower room, steamed them, and left them in an agate box for a full month to make such a flower fragrance that can make your face as white as white plum blossoms and snow. Now, I give this to you to comfort you in your suffering in the cold palace."

Ruyi felt a little sad and touched, "As long as the emperor still cares about me, I will not suffer. I will use this green plum powder every day."

The emperor hugged Ruyi, thinking that he really owed her all these years.

The emperor also agreed to go to Ruyi's palace to accompany her tonight. Having achieved her goal, Ruyi happily took Lingzhi out of the Qianqing Palace.

Lingzhi asked, "My dear, why are you so happy when you see this green plum powder? I think it is no different from the pearl powder that the Queen gave you."

Ruyi looked at Lingzhi coldly: "Lingzhi, what do you know? This green plum powder is the emperor's intention, and the pearl powder is just a toy used by the queen to show her generosity."

Lingzhi was frightened by her master's sudden fierceness, but she still believed that this green plum powder was just a thing used by the emperor to express his affection and there was nothing special about it.

Ruyi was walking triumphantly on the road when she unexpectedly met her nephew Nesuken. Nesuken had been on duty in the palace for two years and was still an ordinary blue-feather guard.

The reason he went to see Ruyi this time was because he heard that Ruyi had been released from the cold palace, and he wanted to borrow some money from Ruyi to repair the ancestral tomb of the Ulanara family.

The body of Ruyi's daughter Amanarbu was kept for eighteen months before it was given the opportunity to be buried in the ancestral tomb, on the condition that Amanarbu's family would renovate the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb.

Ruyi's face was cold. She thought her nephew was useless and was reluctant to speak.

"Nesuken, our Ulanara clan only has women in the harem, not important officials from the previous dynasty. You have been in the palace for many years, but you are still a second-rate guard. You actually came to me to ask for money to repair the ancestral tomb. Can't you just withdraw your salary?"

Nesuken was so irritated by Ruyi's words that he blushed and became angry, and he could only leave helplessly.

He also didn't want to be just a blue-feather guard, but his great-aunt was the abandoned queen of the previous emperor, and his own aunt was sent to the cold palace. He wanted to go to the battlefield to make merit, but was repeatedly rejected.

When he learned that his aunt had been released from the cold palace, he thought he could get some protection from her because her daughter was able to enter the palace thanks to the blessing of the Ulanara family. However, his aunt ruthlessly rejected him.

Nesuken left disappointed.

Lingzhi continued to walk forward with her master and happened to meet Ling Yunche.

When Ruyi saw Ling Yunche, she tilted her head and smiled happily: "Ling Yunche~"

Ling Yunche also ran over happily. Although he didn't have a position yet, he believed that Empress Xian would definitely not ignore him. Their relationship was beyond that of a man and a woman.

"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Concubine Xian. May Her Majesty the Concubine Xian be blessed with good fortune."

Ruyi nodded with satisfaction and bowed to him: "Ling Yunche, we meet again today. I am not a commoner in the cold palace, but Concubine Xian of the Yikun Palace. You are not a guard in the cold palace, but..."

Ruyi deliberately did not finish her words, wanting to wait for Ling Yunche to ask her. Sure enough, Ling Yunche spoke.

"What did Empress Xian say about this humble minister?"

Ruyi was satisfied, her eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled: "I've asked for a career for you, as a royal guard, how about that?"

Ling Yunche was overjoyed, this was simply an enormous amount of wealth. Among the guards, only the sons of nobles from the upper three banners could serve as imperial guards, and they also had to have military merit. How could he have such qualifications?

"Your humble servant, I have no merit, how dare I take the position of the imperial guard."

Ruyi nodded heavily: "Ling Yunche, don't belittle yourself. You saved the Queen Mother and me. This is what you deserve. But you have to forget about that person in front of the emperor in the future."

Ruyi was talking about Wei Yanwan. Although she had not met Ling Guiren yet, Wei Yanwan betrayed her childhood sweetheart Ling Yunche, so she must not be a good person.

She couldn't bear to see Ling Yunche still thinking about their old relationship.

Ling Yunche said firmly: "I will not let down Empress Xian."

Ruyi was content, feeling warm and thoughtful.

Lingzhi was stunned watching from the side. Her master had just refused his own nephew's request to borrow money and even mocked Master Nesuken for being an ordinary guard.

Then he turned around and helped Lord Ling to the position of the imperial guard. Could it be that in the master's heart, Lord Ling was closer to him than his own nephew?

Ruyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she thought she had done a great thing.

She lowered her head and said to Ling Yunche, "Ling Yunche, you can go to the Qianqing Palace to report to the emperor now, and then you can come to my palace. I have something for you to do."

At dusk, Ling Yunche arrived as expected. He walked towards Yiku Palace on a colorful cloud, full of energy and vigor.

"Empress Xian, I have lived up to your expectations. I am now the imperial guard Ling Yunche. Hey? Why is Aunt Rong Pei not by your side?"

Ruyi said calmly, "I called you here for this matter. The emperor is suspicious of our incident. Rong Pei has been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment. As long as she grits her teeth, this matter can be fooled."

Ling Yunche was a little panicked. He had just become an imperial guard and didn't want to lose his head. "Empress Xian, what do you want me to do? Go to the Ministry of Punishment to kill Rong Pei?"

Ruyi's eyes widened and she said, "That's not necessary. Rong Pei is a loyal person. You just need to go over and help me deliver something and give her a little encouragement, and Rong Pei will not give in."

Lingzhi, who was behind, had already prepared medicine and some silver for Rong Pei, and was just waiting for her master to speak.

Unexpectedly, Ruyi picked up a box of things she hadn't expected, and asked Ling Yunche to bring it to Rong Pei...
