I just want to live a happy life

Ling Yunche kept comforting himself in his heart that he had already paid a lot for Ruyi to be able to leave the cold palace, and it was not that he got nothing in return.

Ruyi has promised to make him a royal guard. Although he needs to borrow money to live during this period, fortunately he doesn't have to buy shoes.

Although the shoes Ruyi gave her were not very good, they looked wearable.

Thinking of this, he found a place to try on the shoes given to him by Ruyi. To his disappointment, he couldn't wear the shoes.

He couldn't squeeze his feet in no matter how hard he tried.

Only then did he remember something he had been ignoring. Ruyi had not told him in advance that she would give him shoes. She didn't know what size shoes he wore, but she just made them for him anyway. Didn't she consider that he might not be able to wear them, or just let him leave them?

Besides, these shoes have no collection value.

Ruyi, who had no idea of ​​Ling Yunche's thoughts, had now entered the Yikun Palace.

The first thing Ruyi saw when she came in was the main hall in front of her. It had a single-eaved hip roof covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the crossbeams were decorated with Su-style colored paintings.

Although she didn't go in, she could tell from the outside how spacious and magnificent the main hall was.

If she were the queen now, she would definitely be able to live in the main hall, but she was only a noble and was not qualified to enter.

Li Yu watched Ruyi staring blankly at the main hall. He reminded her, "Lady Xian, your residence is over here."

Ruyi came back to her senses after hearing Li Yu's voice. Under Li Yu's guidance, she entered the east hall. Ruyi looked around inside. The east hall looked spacious and magnificent, but it was still smaller than the main hall. She was not satisfied.

It seems that she needs to find a way to get promoted and live in the main palace as soon as possible, as it is still too unfair for him here.

"Lady Xian, the servants arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs have arrived. Do you want to see them?"

Ruyi straightened her back and said in a controlled tone, "Well, let them in."

After a while, four palace maids and two young eunuchs came in.

Li Yu stood aside and pointed at someone and said, "Lady Xian, Rong Pei was specially trained by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. From now on, she will be your personal maid. You can arrange the rest of the maids as you wish."

Ruyi looked at these strange palace maids and eunuchs, none of whom she was familiar with. She asked, "Sanbao, where are Lingzhi and Yunzhi? Why can't I see them?"

Li Yu replied calmly: "They have been transferred elsewhere and can no longer serve you."

Ruyi frowned. In her opinion, after she left the cold palace, she should be arranged to have people she was familiar with to serve her, but now, there was no one she was familiar with.

A'ruo and惢心 have already betrayed her. Could it be that even the three of them have betrayed her? Of course they have. If they were really loyal to her, they should have found a way to return to her when they knew she had left the cold palace, instead of asking her now.

She didn't expect that all the people she trusted would leave her. She was so tolerant of them before and thought of them in everything, but now none of them is by her side.

Why on earth did they betray her? Ruyi couldn't help wondering.

It should be because she was too tolerant of them. When A Ruo was by her side, she couldn't control her and tolerated her insolence many times. How could a servant who could climb over her head be loyal to her?

And惢心, she is an ungrateful person. A Ruo bullied her many times before, and she even spoke up for A Ruo for her.

She had never been harsh towards Sanbao, Lingzhi and Yunzhi.

The reason these people betrayed her was that she was too nice to them and they thought she was easy to bully.

For other concubines, the palace maids and eunuchs would betray their masters because they were not good to them, but in her case, she betrayed them because she was easy to bully. What's the logic behind this?

Is it wrong to be a kind person who likes to warm others?

In this case, Ruyi's brows darkened. She would be a strict master in the future. She would punish them for their mistakes and would never let them off easily.

Ruyi realized at this moment that only when they felt the pain could they know how great the price of betraying her was and would not betray her easily.

The next day, after packing up, Ruyi went to Changchun Palace to pay her respects to the Queen.

The concubines in the harem all knew that Ruyi would also go to pay her respects today, so they arrived at Changchun Palace early, thinking of going to see her make a fool of herself.

So when Ruyi arrived, there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall.

Ruyi maintained a calm expression, tried hard to ignore the gazes of others on her, and walked to her seat and sat down.

Jin Yuyan looked Ruyi up and down and said with a smile, "I haven't seen Concubine Xian for such a long time. I feel like you have changed a lot. You look a lot thinner. It really makes me sad."

Concubine Hui snorted coldly: "Why should I feel bad about this? She asked for it. This is the price she should pay for killing two children."

Ruyi retorted, "Empress Hui, please be careful with your words. I have never harmed the Emperor's children."

Concubine Hui: "If you didn't do it, why would the emperor let you go to the cold palace? I don't know what despicable tricks you used to make the emperor release you."

Ruyi smiled faintly: "It is impossible for me to see the emperor in such a remote place as the cold palace. The emperor can let me out, of course, the emperor has found out the truth of that year and wants to clear my name."

After hearing what she said, Concubine Hui and Jin Yuyan were still able to remain calm, but Concubine Shen, also known as A Ruo, who was sitting on the side, made some noises.

Ruyi glanced at A'ruo and deliberately asked, "A'ruo, what's wrong with you? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Ah Ruo said calmly, "I was happy to see Concubine Xian coming out of the cold palace, and I reacted a little too much because I was excited."

Ruyi glanced at her sideways, "Really? I thought you had done something wrong and lost your sense of proportion."

Jin Yuyan interrupted and said, "You are too suspicious, Concubine Xian. If Ah Ruo really did something to let you down, why would the emperor let her be his concubine?"

"Lady Xian probably doesn't know yet, but now A'ruo has become Lady Shen. Although A'ruo was a servant by your side before, now you two are equals. It is really inappropriate for you to call her A'ruo."

Jin Yuyan seemed to be kind in reminding Ruyi, but in fact she was ruthlessly stabbing Ruyi in the heart.

Ruyi clenched her handkerchief tightly and her expression changed, no longer as calm as at the beginning.

This is right.

In Jin Yuyan's heart, she has always been disgusted by Ruyi's calm and superior appearance. It was like that in the past and it is still like that now, as if it was so wrong for her to compete for favor, and it was so normal and natural for Ruyi to be favored by the emperor.

I didn't expect that after coming out of the cold palace, she still looked so innocent. It's really disgusting.
