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

A month later, the ban on Yiku Palace was finally lifted.

Concubine Xi returns to the palace (no, Concubine Xian leaves the palace)

Ruyi had been tortured by the wormwood soup for the past month and had not been able to sleep well. Her face was haggard, but she insisted that Rong Pei continue to apply red lipstick on her and even drew long and thin eyebrows herself.

She turned around and gave Lingzhi a charming smile: "Lingzhi, go and bring a plate of white jade frost square cakes. I will go to the Qianqing Palace to see the emperor today."

In front of the Qianqing Palace, Li Yu looked at his mistress with joy as she brought Rong Pei back again. Thinking of how Rong Pei had angered the emperor that day, Li Yu stepped forward.

"Master Xian, Aunt Rong Pei has committed a crime in front of the Emperor. To avoid any conflict, I will bring the White Jade Frost Square Cake in for you."

Ruyi nodded and glanced at Rong Pei, "Rong Pei, just wait outside. Li Yu, thank you for your hard work."

Mao Qian lowered her head and said to Yu Hu, "Aunt, is Eunuch Li Yu so happy to see the emperor?"

Yu Hu shook his head. Li Yu was indeed very caring towards Concubine Xian.

When Jinzhong saw Concubine Xian go in, he quickly ran to Yongshou Palace to report the news.

Are you kidding? If Master helps Concubine Xian, then why can't I help Concubine Ling? At least Concubine Ling is more generous than Concubine Xian, and also more beautiful than Concubine Xian.

Mao Qian looked left and right, and asked again: "Huh? Where did Jinzhong go again?"

Inside the Qianqing Palace, the emperor was writing letters to his foreign pen pals, introducing the Great Qing Empire as a land of abundant resources and numerous beauties.

When he looked up, he happened to see Ruyi's pink face, charming red lips, and dark circles under her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I am released from my confinement today and have come to pay my respects to you."

The emperor almost forgot why he had confined Ruyi for the past few days. He cleared his throat and said, "It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them. Ruyi, please accompany me for dinner."

Ruyi was shyly pulled to sit by the emperor. She felt warm in her heart. The emperor's house arrest was indeed to protect her. She looked down at the emperor and found a trumpet creeper sachet hanging on his waist.

Her heart softened. The emperor had once sent trumpet creeper to her in the cold palace. Now the emperor always wore a sachet of trumpet creeper, which must be because he wanted to have a close relationship with her.

When Yan Wan in Yongshou Palace heard the news brought by Jinzhong, she smiled sweetly. Her home field for revenge had come. In her previous life, she had been trembling with fear and felt inferior for a long time because of the sarcasm of Ruyi and the emperor about the luxury of bird's nest.

Now that I think about it, the Emperor and Ruyi are both petty-minded. If they were with the Empress and Concubine Hui, they would only praise her cooking for being delicious.

Just as Ruyi and the emperor were about to start eating, Yanwan came in gracefully.

"Your Majesty, the air is dry in autumn, so eating more bird's nest can nourish the lungs. I specially used pigeon eggs and golden needles to stew mung bean vermicelli, and added three taels of bird's nest to make it. Please, Your Majesty and Concubine Xian, have a taste of it."

Ruyi was disdainful of Yanwan's attempt to curry favor with a rich and powerful man, and thinking of the fact that Yanwan had betrayed Ling Yunche, she wanted to play a trick on Yanwan.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction after hearing what Yan Wan said. He loved eating bird's nest the most. He was just about to ask Yan Wan to sit down and eat with him,

Then Ruyi said, "Bird's nest is a precious dish. It is best to cook it slowly in clear soup, and worse with meat or greasy food. Your Excellency has used three taels of bird's nest in this bowl, and put everything together. It's too much and too full, and it loses its delicious taste."

Yan Wan sneered. Here it comes, here it comes, this sentence comes again. She wants to see the emperor's reaction this time. After all, the emperor is still a little different in this life.

The emperor frowned. He had been eating bird's nest stewed with duck, bird's nest with rock sugar, and bird's nest fattened chicken every day since he was a child. No one had ever told him how luxurious bird's nest was.

He thought about it. Ruyi had been in the cold palace for four years and was confined for a month. She must have lived a very miserable life.

"Ruyi, how long has it been since you last had bird's nest? You think this is luxurious? Are you greedy?"

Yan Wan almost couldn't hold back her laughter; the emperor's soul-searching questioning was so satisfying.

Ruyi felt embarrassed, she murmured: "Your Majesty, I am not greedy."

Yan Wan scooped a small bowl of bird's nest powder for the emperor to taste. The emperor tasted it and found it smooth and delicious. He thought that Ruyi was greedy. Looking at Ruyi's straight eyes, he said proudly:

"Ruyi, our Qing dynasty has been passed down for a hundred years. Now the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous. Let's not talk about a few ounces of bird's nests. It's okay to eat delicacies from the mountains and the sea every day. Now that you say this, do you think I am extravagant?"

The emperor looked at Yanwan's beautiful face, then at Ruyi's dry, stiff face and dark circles under her eyes, and he said:

"Ruyi, this bird's nest has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin. You are too stingy and don't eat bird's nest for nourishment. Look at your face, how dark it has become."

Ruyi was furious. She glared at Wei Yanwan and said, "Your Majesty, is it me who doesn't want to eat bird's nest? All my bird's nests were given to Yongzhang by the Queen!"

Ruyi looked at Wei Yanwan again and said, "It was you who framed me that day and caused me to be punished by the Queen."

Wei Yanwan pretended to be scared and leaned towards the emperor. The emperor immediately felt pity for her. Yanwan had done nothing wrong, so why was Ruyi taking her out on her?

Besides, it was Ruyi who bullied Yongzhang in the first place, so the Queen took pity on her young son and stood up for Yongzhang.

The emperor wanted to teach Ruyi a lesson, so he said with a mischievous smile:

"Ruyi, I didn't expect you to live so poorly that you don't even have money to buy bird's nests. In this case, I will ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send you three taels of bird's nests every day so that you can eat as much as you want."

Yan Wan also said sweetly: "I can also share with Concubine Xian. I still have a lot of rewards from the emperor and the ladies."

Ruyi's heart softened again. The emperor really still pitied her. But Wei Yanwan was so hateful that she actually laughed at her here.

The next second, she felt like she was falling into an icy cave.

"Ruyi, I suddenly remembered that you come from a poor family and were sent to the cold palace after entering the palace. Your life is tight, so you don't know how to make bird's nest. Can I ask the noble lady to teach you?"

Yan Wan had been waiting for this day. She stepped forward, bowed generously, and said crisply, "Empress Xian, bird's nest is colorless and tasteless, and needs flavor to enhance it. It can be added to dishes with fat chicken, fat duck and pickled meat, or stewed in fresh soup to make it refreshing and relieve greasiness. It can also be used in hot pot or as a snack. It has the effect of nourishing qi. However, our emperor has first-class bird's nest dishes in his daily meals. It can be seen that Empress Xian is not only unfamiliar with bird's nest, but also does not understand the emperor."

Ruyi's face twisted into a knot. How could she not know this? Did she need Wei Yanwan to teach her?

The emperor happily grabbed Yanwan's hand. Yanwan still cared about him. "Yanwan is right. You are really my confidant. Today I will promote you to the position of concubine. The canonization ceremony will be held together with Concubine Jia."

Ruyi blurted out, "Your Majesty, Concubine Ling has no children, her family background is not obvious, and she is a Han Chinese. If you rashly make her a concubine, it will give people something to talk about."

Moreover, she is a concubine. If Wei Yanwan is also a concubine, wouldn’t they be on equal terms?

Wei Yanwan thanked him gracefully, raised her star-like eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty's love is my greatest family background."

But she thought to herself: "I, Wei Yanwan, am smart, motivated, resolute and brave. This is my greatest confidence."

The emperor also looked at Yan Wan and helped her up. "Yan Wan is right. I am her greatest support. Ruyi, you should have discarded your prejudices long ago. Yan Wan, she is my concubine."

Ruyi pouted again and said:
