Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Feng Changzai's promotion made Jin Yuyan feel unprecedented pressure.

Although she tried her best to appear happy on the surface, she felt mixed emotions inside.

Especially when she smelled the fragrance on Feng Changzai's body, Jin Yuyan did not feel fragrant or comfortable at all, but instead always felt it was a bit pungent and uncomfortable.

Privately, she had consulted the imperial physician and Zhenshu many times, but was always told that there was nothing wrong.

Helplessly, Jin Yuyan could only endure it temporarily, thinking that she would slowly deal with Feng Changzai after giving birth to the prince.

With the support and advice of Concubine Jia, Concubine Xiu regained favor.

The emperor obviously liked her more than before, and even turned over her card for three consecutive days.

If the Queen had not advised her in time, the Emperor would probably have wanted to continue to summon her.

Lady Xiu was very proud.

However, no matter how she acted coquettishly and foolishly in front of the emperor, or how she begged him for help, the emperor still refused to agree to promote her to the rank of concubine.

Concubine Xiu was a little anxious. Although she was favored, she had not made any progress in her position. How was she different from Concubine Shu who did not fight for anything?

Xiu Guiren was anxious, and so were the other concubines. For a while, the harem was full of competition for beauty and favor.

The spring mountains are warm and breezy, the curtains of the pavilions are left behind, and the willow swings are in the courtyard.

Singing Yingying and dancing swallows, the small bridge and flowing water are red.

It was spring and the weather was beautiful. The emperor went to the Yanx Palace to visit Yongqi and Concubine Yu.

After lunch, he prepared to go to the Imperial Garden alone for a walk to digest the food.

Suddenly, a melodious and clear sound of guqin came out from the Yonghe Palace like the sound of a spring.

The sound of the piano was like a pure and holy spring, gently brushing past the emperor's ears and flowing into his heart.

Sometimes it is high-pitched and passionate, like waves hitting the rocks, and sometimes it is low and gentle, like a breeze blowing through willow branches, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

The emperor stepped into the Yonghe Palace unconsciously.

As the sound of the piano got closer, gradually, a woman with a slim figure and a straight back appeared in the emperor's sight.

She was wearing a light, plain blue long dress with willow patterns embroidered on it, and a gauze robe of the same color as her outer garment.

She wore a flat hairpin with carved silver patterns on her head, and her hair was dotted with a few emerald green or yellow tongcao flowers, which made her look restrained and beautiful.

The slender white fingers danced lightly on the strings, as if playing a beautiful poem.

With her pretty face, elegant temperament, slightly closed eyes and long eyelashes, she looks like a fairy who is not of this world.

It seemed as if the next moment it would merge with the sound of the piano.

The emperor looked at her quietly until the piano music ended, then he clapped softly.

"Your piano skills are so good. They really make people feel relaxed and happy." The emperor praised with admiration in his eyes.

The woman raised her head and looked at the emperor, with a hint of surprise and joy in her eyes.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she stood up gracefully and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. I am sorry that your Majesty has laughed at my humble skills."

"Get up, what's your name?" Liu Changzai had rarely slept with the emperor, so the emperor could not remember it clearly for a moment.

"I'm Concubine Liu of Yonghe Palace, and I'm here to greet His Majesty." Concubine Liu was not angry and answered softly.

That night, Liu Chang was in the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor loved the guqin and specially gave Liu Changzai a Haiyue Qinghui guqin from the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Liu Changzai gained favor, she became much more impetuous.

There was no main seat in Yonghe Palace. In the past, Concubine Liu would take the initiative to pay her respects to Concubine Mei, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.

But since she came into favor, not only did she no longer pay attention to Concubine Mei, she would sometimes even make sarcastic remarks when they met.

How could Concubine Mei bear this humiliation?

While the emperor was in Liu Changzai's palace again, Concubine Mei took out her pipa and played the song "Spring River Moon Night" that she sang when she first met the emperor, in an attempt to win back his heart.

But after she played for more than half an hour, she didn't wait for the emperor, but waited for Li Yu.

"Lady Mei, the emperor said that the sound of the pipa can easily bring back ghosts, which is unlucky in the palace. You should stop playing it from now on."

As soon as Li Yu left, Concubine Mei could no longer suppress her inner helplessness and resentment, and threw her pipa to the ground.

Which pipa music is unlucky?

Thinking back to when she and the emperor first met, it was Qu Youwu and Zhou Lang Gu.

But as time goes by, we only see new people laughing but not old people crying.

The emperor's intentions are hard to predict. Has the emperor changed his mind and started liking the elegant music of the zither?

Concubine Mei felt extremely uncomfortable.

She had been favored before. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for Gao Xiyue to ruin her appearance, and she was forced to stay in Yonghe Palace.

There were too many beauties in the harem. When she finally recovered her appearance, her heart was no longer with him.

Concubine Mei hated Concubine Liu and also hated Gao Xiyue.

Gao Xiyue is now mentally ill and is imprisoned in Xianfu Palace all day long.

But even so, Concubine Mei still felt unsatisfied.

She rushed to Xianfu Palace with a whip in her hand.

The once glorious and prosperous Xianfu Palace has long lost its glory. The heavy palace gates are locked, and the vermilion paint is covered with a thick layer of dust, showing loneliness and desolation everywhere.

There were only two young eunuchs guarding the side door. Concubine Mei walked straight over and said in a cold and solemn voice, "Open the door."

The young eunuchs didn't know what Noble Lady Mei's purpose was, so they tentatively said, "Greetings, Noble Lady Mei. Xianfu Palace is under house arrest. You cannot enter without the emperor's order."

"It's Concubine Hui's feet that are being restrained, not mine. How dare you stop me?" Concubine Mei's icy gaze swept across the two of them like a sharp blade.

Seeing that the two still refused to let go, Concubine Mei frowned, her mouth corners slightly turned down, and her eyes were full of impatience.

She snorted coldly, pulled out the whip she carried with her from her wide sleeves, and threw it hard to the ground.

The slender and flexible whip cut through the air, making a crisp sound and stirring up a cloud of dust.

The two young eunuchs trembled when they heard the voice, looked at each other, and their faces changed drastically.

They obviously didn't expect Concubine Mei to be serious, and they didn't expect her methods to be so direct and cruel.

The two of them involuntarily took a few steps back, with a strong sense of fear surging in their hearts.

"Get out of here! Otherwise my whip won't have eyes."

While the two were dodging, Concubine Mei rushed straight into Xianfu Palace and walked quickly towards the main hall.

Pushing open the palace door, sunlight poured into the cold and gloomy room, with dust flying in the air.

Gao Xiyue was sitting on the couch, wearing a fox fur coat and looking weak, with her back hunched. She was holding a bowl of medicine in her hand, her eyes were dazed, and she was drinking it mechanically and numbly in small sips.

Gao Xiyue's pitiful appearance did not arouse any sympathy from Concubine Mei. She felt that Gao Xiyue's fate was not enough.

Concubine Mei sneered, picked up the whip, and started whipping Gao Xiyue without saying a word.

Gao Xiyue had no time to react or dodge, and a red mark suddenly appeared on her hand. The medicine bowl was broken by the whip, and the hot medicine spilled all over her.

"Gao Xiyue! You vicious woman, you ruined my appearance and cut off my favor. If I don't beat you, I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart!"

Concubine Mei scolded and chased Gao Xiyue to beat her.
