Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

In the twelfth lunar month, the first snow of this winter fell in the Forbidden City.

Although this snow came later than in previous years, it fell like goose feathers for a full half month.

Although snow is a sign of a good harvest, it looks like the snow is about to cause a snowstorm.

The Queen was busy with the Second Prince and had no time to manage the affairs of the six palaces. The Queen Mother had no choice but to personally take the concubines to the Anhua Palace to pray for blessings.

Fortunately, the snow finally stopped after only three days of praying. However, the emperor's southern tour plan was delayed.

Although the southern tour plan has been shelved, according to ancestral rules, the time for the three-yearly talent show is almost here.

Since the Empress Dowager mentioned it, the Emperor naturally agreed.

The selection process was complicated, and this was the first election since the emperor ascended the throne, so the Imperial Household Department quickly began preparations as soon as they received the news.

I think the earliest by the time the preliminary selection is completed is after the New Year, and the beauties will be welcomed into the palace to be selected.

On this day, Su Lujun came to the Yanxi Palace in the snow and wind.

After entering the hall, Su Lujun took off her fur cloak stained with snow and stood in front of the fireplace to warm herself.

After making sure that the coldness in his body had been completely dispelled, he took the green velvet hot water bottle embroidered with autumn flowers that Ke Xin handed to him and walked into the inner room.

"Lujun is here." Ruyi was sitting on the couch knitting, while Hailan was gently pushing the cradle beside her.

Seeing that Yongqi was sleeping soundly in the cradle, Su Lujun couldn't help but slow down her steps.

She was about to bow and greet him, but Ruyi raised her hand to signal her not to bow, and turned to Rong Pei and whispered, "Rong Pei, Yongqi has fallen asleep. Carry him to the side hall and let the wet nurses take care of him."

After Yongqi was carried away, Su Lujun finally spoke, "Yongqi is really strong, and looks much stronger than my Yongzhang."

Hai Lan put on the gilded relief beauty mask armor one by one and joked, "What are you talking about, Sister Chunpin? Yong Zhang is a fat little calf certified by the emperor himself. How can Yong Ji compare to him?"

A few people laughed softly, but Su Lujun sighed and said, "I am not afraid of being laughed at by Empress Xian. I knew Yongzhang was strong and never worried about his health. It's just..."

Ruyi looked a little confused and signaled Su Lujun to continue.

Su Lujun sighed, "Well, you know, the princes always spend a lot of time together in the same room when they study every day.

Although Second Prince’s asthma is not contagious, I can’t help but feel uncomfortable when I think of Yong Zhang studying while Second Prince kept coughing beside him.”

"The eldest prince is older, but Yongzhang is still so young. Sister Chunpin has a kind heart and it is normal for her to worry.

But this queen is too strict. The second prince is still so young, is it necessary for him to study so hard despite being sick? "Hai Lan shook her head in confusion.

"Who said it wasn't?" Su Lujun continued Hai Lan's words, "Every time I went to Xiefang Palace to visit Yongzhang, nine out of ten times I would see the Empress accompanying Yonglian to study."

Ruyi did not raise her head, still waving her slender white fingers while weaving the silk thread, and said, "The Queen has high hopes for the Second Prince, so her methods are naturally a bit radical.

The queen wanted her son to become a dragon so much, but she forgot that the second prince, as a prince, was already a dragon.

If my son Yongji is enlightened in the future, I just hope he will be happy.

If Yongqi likes reading, I will invite famous teachers from all over the world to teach him; if Yongqi likes riding and shooting, I will find the best Baturu for him.

I don't want to restrict Yongji. Even if he just wants to be a rich and idle prince in the future, it will be more comfortable than fighting for power and profit in the Forbidden City."

All loving mothers in the world have this heart, and Su Lujun’s thoughts are the same as Ruyi’s.

"That's true. Since the second prince coughed up blood last time, the queen was really scared. Since then, the queen dared not force the second prince to study again.

But I don’t know if the Second Prince was possessed by a nightmare. He ignored his illness and forced himself to study. No one could persuade him, but it was useless.

Look, the Empress did not even go to the Anhua Palace to pray for the Second Prince last time in order to take care of him. But the Second Prince's illness just won't get better."

Listening to Su Lujun's words, Ruyi couldn't help but feel pity for Yonglian.

Yonglian was only 6 years old. How could one not feel sorry for such a thin, small, sensible and well-behaved child?

In this life, Ruyi was not sent to the cold palace by Fucha Langya, and she had a child early on.

No matter how adults fight, children are ultimately innocent.

Ruyi tied the silk cord in her hand into a knot and placed it on the table. "Yonglian is the emperor's legitimate son. If Yonglian is sick, the emperor must be very worried.

But the Queen has always been hostile to me. If I rashly try to persuade her, it might backfire.

However, I will find a time to talk to His Majesty. With His Majesty speaking up, I think the Queen will feel more at ease.”

Hai Lan looked at Ruyi with a faint smile, "Since you had Yongji, my sister has become more soft-hearted.

However, if Yonglian grows up, he may be difficult to deal with. Sister still has to think about Yongji. "

Ruyi pulled out new silk thread from the sewing basket and began to make a new loop.

She smiled without saying anything, but sighed silently in her heart.

Who can't pretend to be virtuous?

For a child with asthma, even if Ruyi doesn't do anything, does he really have a chance to grow up?

The emperor chose a day to visit Yonglian and relayed what Ruyi said to Fucha Langya.

Fu Cha Langya didn't know that it was Ruyi who said this. She thought that the emperor had mercy on her and was very happy.

But Yonglian's body became weaker day by day.

Fu Cha Langya had no time to take back the palace affairs, and still kept an eye on Yonglian day and night, telling him not to study anymore and to take care of his health first.

The Queen Mother was only responsible for major palace affairs decisions. The tedious affairs of the six palaces now basically fell on Ruyi.

The only thing that Ruyi was too lazy to care about was the talent show.

She took advantage of her jealousy to push the whole thing onto the Queen Mother, and was able to have some free time.

Now, in addition to taking care of Yongji, Ruyi also has to look at various account books every day. Although it is a bit exhausting, her life is fulfilling.

Yongqi’s hundred-day banquet was coming soon.

In order to make everyone have fun together, the emperor specially scheduled the Hundred Days Banquet and the Palace Banquet on New Year's Eve together.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was decorated with lanterns and had been freshly painted. The Imperial Household Department had done its job very carefully, making the place clean and bright.

Rows of red lanterns are hung everywhere in the hall, like the red sun in the sky, making the hall look magnificent and dazzling.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager sat at the top, dressed in gorgeous attire, overlooking the civil and military officials and beauties in the harem below. They were as majestic and dignified as Mount Tai, and their demeanor was so intimidating without even being angry that people dared not look directly at them.

Fu Cha Langya also changed her previous tired appearance.

She wore a complicated and gorgeous crown and a delicate and gorgeous makeup and sat beside the emperor. She was like a blooming peony, showing the demeanor of a mother of the country.

Civil and military officials dressed in solemn court robes raised their glasses to congratulate the emperor from time to time, and all kinds of rare gifts were presented.

There was laughter and joy in the hall, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
