A Ruo ridiculed Lian Xin
In the palace garden, Ruyi and his elder brother took a leisurely walk, enjoying the rare tranquility.However, a sudden burst of crying broke the tranquility.The source of the voice is a palace maid named Lian Xin, who is the queen's right-hand assistant.Lian Xin's eyes flashed with tears of homesickness, and she explained that she only felt so sad when she thought of her hometown occasionally.
However, Ah Ruo used harsh words to taunt Lian Xin, saying that she was about to marry the eunuch Wang Qin. Such a fate was really pitiable.Lian Xin's mood became even heavier. She turned and ran away, her eyes blurred by tears.
On the way to pay respects to the queen, Mei Changzai's sedan suddenly ran rampant, frightening the imperial concubine's face to pale.To make matters worse, the jade hairpin gifted by the emperor also broke into pieces in the chaos.In the Queen's Palace, the concubine angrily complained to the Queen about Mei Changzai's unreasonable behavior.However, Mei Changzai explained that she had something urgent to report to the queen, so she had no choice but to confront the imperial concubine.
Mei Changzai's words surprised everyone because she claimed that she was pregnant.The queen, the concubine and Ruyi all congratulated her, and there was a festive atmosphere in the palace.The queen even announced that she also had a happy event to tell everyone, that is, she was going to betroth Lian Xin to Wang Qin.Lian Xin painfully said that she only wanted to take care of the Queen, but the Queen didn't seem to care about her feelings.
The Queen Mother was very happy when she learned that Mei Chang was pregnant.She specially gave Yonghe Palace a statue of Guanyin to send her children, which symbolized her blessing to the royal children and grandchildren.
Accompanied by the emperor, Ruyi had dinner together.She mentioned that the queen betrothed Lian Xin to Wang Qin, thinking that this was an injustice to Lian Xin.The emperor said that this was to allow Lian Xin and Wang Qin to take care of each other, and the relationship between them would be closer.The emperor also advised Ruyi not to get involved in the queen's affairs, because the queen preferred the imperial concubine between Ruyi and the imperial concubine.Ruyi was dissatisfied after hearing this. She said that in her palace, she did not want the emperor to mention other concubines.She understood that the emperor had important responsibilities and had to take care of the previous government affairs as well as the concubines, queen mother, and heirs in the harem, so she was willing to give the emperor more space.After hearing this, the emperor praised Ruyi for her straightforwardness, which was an advantage that other concubines did not have.
Later, the emperor mentioned the problem of floods in the south of the Yangtze River.He said that this problem has always troubled him, but this year's Huaiyin County Magistrate has made great achievements in water control and is a rare talent.The emperor planned to promote him to prefect in recognition of his achievements.At this time, Ah Ruo suddenly knelt down and thanked the emperor for his gift. It turned out that the magistrate of Huaiyin was her amma.The emperor was very surprised and said that he would definitely find a good family for A Ruo.
After Ah Ruo returned to her room, she proudly showed off to Xing Xin that she was Ruyi's dowry girl, and Ama was appreciated by the emperor again.She also asked Ling Xin to fetch water for her to clean herself, but Ling Xin had no choice but to agree.The next day, Ah Ruo was busy dressing up, but asked Ling Xin to serve his master first.Ruyi found out that Aruo was not there and asked Lingxin to rush her.However, Ah Ruo arrived in a hurry just as the emperor was driving.After the emperor left, Ruyi accused Aruo of dressing up too delicately and unlike a palace maid, and the empress did not like luxury. If others saw her dressed like this, she would definitely be punished.After Ah Ruo returned to the room, she cried and changed out of her clothes. She thought it was because Ruyi was jealous of her beauty and the emperor's favor.
The queen became jealous when she saw the emperor personally sending her eldest brother to study.She believed that Ruyi was behind the scenes and wanted to win the emperor's favor.Mei Changzai was promoted to a noblewoman because she was pregnant. Taking advantage of her good fortune, she often called the emperor from other concubines to accompany her.However, this also made her a thorn in the side of other concubines.
The big day for Wang Qin and Lian Xin finally arrived. The queen chose the most spacious room in the eunuch's veranda and gave it to Lian Xin.Although Lian Xin was still crying, the Queen's will could not be violated and she could only obey her orders.Late at night, Ruyi heard a woman's wailing in Yanxi Palace, which seemed to come from the veranda.The next day, after the concubines paid their respects to the queen, Mei Guiren said that she seemed to hear two women shouting from the veranda, and asked Ruyi if she heard it.Ruyi said that she did not hear it.Everyone speculated that the person might be Lian Xin, secretly ridiculing her fate.
Ruyi's handkerchief fell into the Queen's Palace, and Lian Xin came to return it.A Ruo grabbed Lian Xin and mocked her with harsh words again.Lian Xin sarcastically mocked A Ruo for marrying her father-in-law, and hoped that she could grow old together and stay together forever and ever.Ruyi was very angry when she heard this. She warned A Ruo that if she was so unruly again, she would be punished.At this time, the imperial concubine rushed to the scene. She said that A Ruo had made rude remarks and she had to punish her.After a storm, the palace is still filled with the atmosphere of conspiracy and power, and the fate of Ruyi and Lianxin will continue to be affected.
