Ruyi's Rebirth: Ruyi's Disease Retreat Retreat

Chapter 259: Dai Jia is a noble lady; Zhang is a concubine

After a night of tenderness, Hongli went to court happily.

Rong Pei brought a soft pillow for Ruyi to lean on. She asked, "Is your Majesty worried about the positions of the two new people?"

Ruyi sighed: "Yes, it would be bad if the decision is not as good as the emperor's wishes."

"After all, they are newcomers. If their positions are too high, I'm afraid the people in the harem will gossip about them."

"I'm not afraid of them, but I don't know what the emperor is thinking."

Rong Pei smiled and said, "Empress, are you still worried that the Emperor will be unhappy? Seeing him hand this matter over to you, I feel like I owe you something."

Ruyi remained noncommittal: "You just think too much."

"There's one more thing. Guard Fu Heng has another son."

Ruyi nodded and said, "It's really a series of happy events. Ask Sanbao to send some supplements to Tang'er in my name."

Rong Pei: "Yes."

Three days later, Ruyi submitted the memorial to the Yangxin Palace, which determined her position and palace.

Hongli asked Rong Pei: "Why didn't the Queen come in person?"

Rong Pei replied: "Your Majesty, the Empress has not had a good rest for several days because of this matter."

Hongli opened the memorial and read it, then said, "Well, it's hard for her. Li Yuzhen remembers that there's a ginseng in the treasury that was a tribute from a foreign country. Go find it, Rongpei, take it back and give it to the Queen to nourish her."

Rong Pei: "This servant thanks the Emperor on behalf of the Empress."

Dai Jia entered Zhongcui Palace and became a noble lady.

Zhang entered Chengqian Palace and became a concubine.

Rui agreed to stay in Jinchangzai.

Ling Guiren was promoted to Lingpin.

Shupin was promoted to Shufei.

Later, Li Yu personally went to the homes of the two newlyweds to convey his imperial decree.

The day for entering the palace is set for five days later.

In Zhongcui Palace.

Shunxin came in with the writing brush and ink she had just received from the Imperial Household Department.

"Master, when are you going to finish painting?" she said as she put the things on the table.

"I heard from the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that the Emperor has appointed two new people into the palace."

Concubine Wan's expression remained indifferent. She said, "I can't control who the emperor likes."

Shunxin's face was filled with worry: "Master, don't I feel sorry for you?"

"Well, take a break. I'll draw another one."

Shunxin looked at the portraits of the emperor hanging all over the room and couldn't help sighing. She didn't want to live her whole life like this, did she?

The same was true for Concubine Chun, and the emperor had not been to Zhongcui Palace for some time.

Ke Xin offered her a cup of tea.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Chun shook her head and said, "It's been a long time since the Emperor came to Zhongcui Palace."

"It's been about two months since I last saw you."

Concubine Chun stroked the patterns on the vase beside her and felt bitter in her heart.

"It's my own fault. Not only did I ruin Yong Zhang's future, but I even lost my own favor."

Ke Xin advised: "My dear, please be at ease. You are still a noble concubine after all. There are so many people in the harem. Even if the emperor could split himself up, he would not be able to handle it all."

"Besides, the Emperor usually stays at the Empress's house most of the time."

Concubine Chun: "She truly deserves to be the Queen. The bond between her and the Emperor is unmatched by anyone else."

"In fact, the Queen wanted to be close to you. I saw it all. But you believed Su Lian's words, and that created a rift between you and the Queen."

"My dear, I am going to say something I shouldn't say. You should go to Yikun Palace more often. The Empress is indeed different from the previous one."

Concubine Chun nodded and said, "You are right. The Empress is kind and will not hold it against me."
