I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 300 Fu Cha Lang Ya 16

Among these people, the most dissatisfied one is Ruyi. She was the concubine appointed by the previous emperor. When she entered the palace, she thought the emperor would appoint her as a noble concubine, but the fact was that she could not even get the title of a concubine.

She thought she had a deep friendship with Hongli, so she questioned him without any hesitation.

Hongli looked at his questioning expression and the ugly half of his face, and said impatiently: "Don't you know how big a fuss you made by serving meat to the empress dowager at the funeral of the late emperor? Do you want to make me a laughing stock by making you a concubine?"

Ruyi's lips moved a few times after being told that, but she didn't talk back.

Hongli sighed, and thought of the warm time he had spent with Ruyi before, and consoled her: "Why hasn't your injury healed yet? Go back and let the imperial physician see you. I will make you my concubine after you give birth to a child, or during festivals."

After hearing Hongli's words, Ruyi's expression improved and she felt sweet in her heart again.

Hongli always had her in his heart. He not only cared about her injury, but also wanted to have a child with her. She also hoped to give Hongli a healthy and intelligent prince.

Just like that, Ruyi calmed down.

Because of Ruyi's injury, she didn't go out often during the period of recuperation, for fear that others would laugh at her, so naturally she was also frightened when she heard the painter's remarks.

The first thing Langya did after becoming the queen was to rectify the Imperial Household Department. No one knew how much silver these bondservants had embezzled.

She had already collected all the evidence before, and after handing it over to Hongli, it was natural for her to let him do it.

Hongli had the drug she had given him, so he would not refuse what she said.

Hongli ordered his guards to search the Imperial Household Department and the bannermen families. As expected, Hongli became furious when he saw the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain and other good things being carried out.

These dogs and slaves actually coveted his royal things.

Therefore, Hongli ordered the execution of all those who were corrupt or who shielded corrupt officials in the Imperial Household Department and the bannermen families.

Many people were killed and the incident lasted for many days before it ended. Corruption was so serious in the palace, and it was also the same among the royal family and ministers.

Because of this grand confiscation of property, a lot of things were added to Hongli's private treasury, the national treasury, and Langya's storehouse.

It is worth mentioning that the late emperor’s mother, Uya, was born into a bondservant family. With such a queen dowager around, one can imagine how greedy Uya was.

So this time, all the bannermen families related to Uya were wiped out without leaving a single one alive.

The national treasury was rich, and Langya did not issue any orders to be frugal in spending. People were allowed to wear what they liked and spend what they liked. Of course, Langya forbad the use of things that were too costly.

Langya now has only three children. Hongli has a complex about having a legitimate son. After he ascended the throne, her three children were each rewarded.

The eldest princess Jingshu was the eldest daughter and had a noble status. She was given the title of Princess Gulun Heshu.

The second legitimate daughter, Jingse, was also rewarded and was given the title of Princess Hejing of the First Rank.

Although Yonglian was not named the crown prince, his food, clothing and other expenses were the same as those of the crown prince, which shows how much importance Hongli attached to him.

Of course, Langya and Gao Xiyue have a good relationship, and Jingyan grew up under her care. Gao Xiyue is so loyal to her, and Langya doesn't want Gao Xiyue to be disappointed, so Hongli also rewarded Jingyan and named her Princess Heshuo Hemin.

When Gao Xiyue knew about it, she was very excited. She only had Jingyan as her child and she didn't want to treat her badly at all. Besides, a princess with a title was different from a princess without a title. She was very grateful to the Queen and was glad that she had joined the Queen. As a result, Gao Xiyue became more loyal to Langya.

Jin Yuyan was jealous. She had been trying to please the queen for so many years, wanting to get close to her, but the queen didn't respond at all. She couldn't understand why the queen wouldn't accept her since she didn't provoke the queen.

But she is not someone who gives up easily. She must rely on the Queen, her powerful backer.

Ruyi was naturally very jealous. She touched her belly which had been motionless. When would she be able to have a child? As long as she could have a child, she believed that Hongli would definitely love her child very much.

It is also very likely that her children will be treated better than Fucha Langya's children.

When she thought of this, her desire to have a child became more urgent, so Ruyi took the pregnancy-maintaining medicine again.

Hai Lan lived in the back hall of the Yanxi Palace. She smelled the scent of the pregnancy medicine and kept embroidering. Drink it, drink it. No matter how much you drink, you won’t have a child.

It was time to pay respects again. Just like before, Langya chatted with some concubines. Gao Xiyue, Jin Yuyan and others who were not on good terms with Ruyi made some sarcastic remarks to Ruyi from time to time.

When it was almost over, Langya said, "Princess Chun, Yongzhang is almost six years old, right?"

Hearing this, not only Su Lujun became nervous, but Fucha Chuying also became nervous. After all, in the harem, apart from Langya who had a prince, there were Su Lujun and Fucha Chuying.

Su Lujun didn't understand what the Queen meant for a moment, but she didn't dare to say anything nonsense to the Queen: "Yes, Queen, Yongzhang will be six years old next year."

Langya nodded and said, "According to the rules, the prince and princess must move to the prince's residence and princess' residence when they are six years old. Concubine Chun, you should also prepare as soon as possible and arrange someone that Yongzhang trusts so that he won't be taken advantage of."

Su Lujun finally relaxed: "Yes, Queen, thank you for your reminder."

Fu Cha Chu Ying also relaxed and lowered her head. When Yongzhang turned six, he would move to the prince's residence. The same must be true for Yonghuang. She should also think about how to arrange for Yonghuang after he moved to the prince's residence.

Yonghuang was in poor health, so the people who served him had to be loyal.

After that, there was nothing else to do, so the concubines were allowed to go back.

Langya doesn't want to take care of their children's affairs. They can make their own arrangements and any problems have nothing to do with her.

Soon, winter arrived.

Because Hongli was in mourning, he did not have any concubines to sleep with him. Perhaps it was too boring, so Hongli had an idea and asked the pipa players from the Nan Palace to play the pipa, of course, including Bai Ruiji.

Before Hongli became emperor, Zhen Huan and Langya had already fallen out over Princess Longyue's marriage. Zhen Huan failed in her revenge, so she planned to make things difficult for Langya after Hongli ascended the throne. Bai Ruiji was the person she trained.

Originally, when Zhen Huan was alive, Bai Ruiji had a very easy life in Nan Mansion because she had such a powerful backer like Zhen Huan, and no one dared to offend her. But with the death of Zhen Huan, Bai Ruiji's treatment plummeted. Bai Ruiji was naturally dissatisfied. She didn't want to live a life of being bullied and wanted to be the master very much.

When she knew that Hongli wanted Pipa Ji to play the pipa, she bribed the manager and then went to Hongli.
