In August, the Abagai tribe of Mongolia sent several Mongolian princesses to fill the harem. The most prestigious one among them was the daughter of Saiyinchak, Baierguosihulin.

The marriage between Manchus and Mongols has been common since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Mongolian tribes have surrendered, Mongolian concubines are not so precious, so they are only given the status of noble ladies and the title of Ke.

Fu Cha Langya discussed with the emperor that since there was only a low-ranking concubine, Lady Xian, living in the Yikun Palace, Hu Lin could be allowed to move in.

So five days later, Concubine Ke and her Mongolian maid Wuyou moved into the eastern side hall of the Yiku Palace.

When Ruyi learned that a Mongolian concubine was coming, she was delighted. All the other people in the palace had been bribed by Fucha Langya and Wei Yanwan and had become equally vulgar.

If a few new people came at this time, they could fight against the evil forces together with her, and she would not be isolated and helpless.

Ruyi confidently waited for Concubine Ke to come and pay her a visit first. She was confident that she could win over Concubine Ke with her personal charm.

In the east side hall, Hu Lin, who came from afar, looked around her bedroom and felt dissatisfied. She wanted to live in the main hall!

She had already made inquiries before entering the palace. In the palace there were the Emperor's original wife, the Empress Dowager, the newly-appointed Imperial Concubine Hui, and the Concubine Jia who had three sons. These were all people she had to be wary of.

Hu Lin thought she came from a large Mongolian tribe, and except for these few people, she could act arrogantly in the palace relying on her Mongolian origin.

But no one told her that there was a very old nobleman of low rank living in the Yikun Palace.

She is a noble lady, and I am also a noble lady. Why does she live in the main hall while I live in the side hall?

The proud Hu Lin naturally would not take the initiative to pay a visit. She turned around and said to Wu You:

"Wuyou, go ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a few more people. The emperor told me to change anything I'm not satisfied with. I'm going to make a big change to the Yikun Palace today."

In the main hall, Lingzhi and Yunzhi reported everything that happened in the side hall:

"Master, Concubine Ke dismantled the stove in the small kitchen and replaced it with two barbecue ovens and a tandoor."

"Master, the noble lady Ke cut down all the branches of the osmanthus tree in the yard, saying that it would look better if it was bare."

"Master, Concubine Ke also replaced the curtains in the Yikun Palace with wool felt."

"Master, the noble lady Ke has sent grass seeds to plant a lawn in the yard."

Lingzhi and Yunzhi stared with their eyes wide open, but Ruyi remained indifferent. She thought this was a stupid trick of Concubine Ke.

Just want to get my attention.

Lingzhi stamped her feet and said, "Master, the small kitchen has been converted into a barbecue oven. We won't be able to make snacks in the future."

Yunzhi saw that her master didn't care and had no intention of competing, so she thought about it and came up with an idea:

"Master, the small kitchen has been changed into this state. How are you going to make soup and serve it to the emperor in the future?"

Ruyi's expression was moved. Yes, this was the small kitchen that originally belonged to her. Without the sandbox stove, how could she serve soup to others?

Ruyi pinched the hem of her skirt and decided to teach Concubine Ke a lesson.

Concubine Ke tidied up the side hall and the small kitchen, and nodded with satisfaction. This was truly a palace with the flavor of their grassland. After living in the palace for a long time, she would also build a yurt.

Noble Lady Ke turned and looked towards the main hall. When she was favored and became a concubine, she would drive Noble Lady Xian out of the main hall.

Lest she be an eyesore here!

Suddenly, she saw a pot of withered green plums under the corridor of the main hall. Concubine Ke frowned, thinking it was bad luck!

"Wuyou, move that pot of green plum away. It's unlucky to leave it here even though it's all withered."

Ruyi came out holding Lingzhi's hand and just heard these words. She reminded:

"Is this the noble lady Ke who just entered the palace? You just arrived, so you don't know the origin of this pot of green plums."

After Ruyi finished speaking, she looked around and saw that the Yikun Palace had become colorful, with heavy curtains on the windows, and the swing in the yard had been transformed into a meat hanging rack.

Even the screen wall at the entrance was painted with a prairie eagle flapping its wings.

Noble Lady Ke looked at Noble Lady Xian in front of her. She was wearing a dark blue short jacket embroidered with the word "Fu" and calf-high pelvic shoes. She looked like an old lady in the palace.

Could it be that this pot of green plums really had some secret that she didn't know about? She stopped Wu You and looked at Ruyi.

"You are Lady Xian, right? I would like to hear about the origin of this green plum."

Ruyi smiled ghostly, her eyes blurred: "This green plum was given to me by the emperor. It represents our childhood friendship. If you want to move it away now, I'm afraid it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, so I came to save you."

Concubine Ke's developed limbs and simple mind stopped working at the same time. It turned out that Concubine Xian was so favored by the emperor without making any noise.

What's more, even though I moved her green plum, she explained it in a friendly manner, and it seemed that she was indeed a sincere person.

Concubine Ke put on a smile and said kindly, "So it was a reward from the Emperor. I was really rude. Did Concubine Xian know the Emperor for a long time?"

Seeing that Concubine Ke was indeed conquered by her, Ruyi happily told Concubine Ke the story of how she looked at each other from afar on the wall and how her heart was broken as soon as she saw her lover.

By the way, he also revealed a little about the selection of the concubine and the acquisition of the jade ruyi.

Therefore, in the eyes of Concubine Ke, Concubine Xian turned out to be a little elf that the Emperor specially placed in the Yikun Palace for protection.

Noble Lady Ke looked at Ruyi's attire again and instantly felt that she was deliberately being low-key. On the way to the capital, she had read several storybooks that all had this style.

In order to protect the woman he loves, a playboy would take several at the same time to confuse people, and then set up a target to hide his tracks.

Combined with what Concubine Xian said about how she almost became the Emperor's wife and was given the right to sleep with the Emperor on the first night, the fit is extremely high.

Concubine Ke no longer wanted to compete with Ruyi for the throne, and she began to respect Ruyi.

Ruyi invited Concubine Ke to the main hall and explained to her the personalities of the concubines in the palace.

Fu Cha Langya, hypocritical; Hui Guifei, arrogant; Jia Fei, domineering; Chun Fei, cowardly; Shu Fei, false and noble; Ling Fei, flattering, vicious, treacherous, heartless and ungrateful...

Ruyi also emphasized that the emperor was hypocritical towards these people because he was doing it for their family power.

Concubine Ke had a new understanding of the situation in the palace, and thinking of her Mongolian background, she decided to challenge them.

After saying this, Concubine Ke invited Ruyi to have a barbecue with her, so that she could try out the newly built barbecue stove.

Ruyi couldn't refuse, so she had to follow Concubine Ke.

That night, Rong Pei and Zhizhi looked at Ruyi's face which was blackened by charcoal and couldn't stop laughing.

Xiao Xia Zi, a eunuch who had worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a day, went back and spread the news of the Yiku Palace being converted into a yurt throughout the six palaces in the east and west.

In Qixiang Palace, Xiyue was talking to Jin Yuyan about how Concubine Ke had renovated Yikun Palace, and she was overjoyed.

"Oh, Yuyan, you don't know that Concubine Ke has turned Yikun Palace into a yurt and even cut down all the trees for barbecue!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

Yuyan looked at the gloating Concubine Hui and smiled, "Silly Concubine, you don't know that it was your Xianfu Palace that was changed in the previous life..."
