I just want to live a happy life

That morning, the sun had already risen to mid-sky, illuminating the desolate cold palace.

Li Yu brought a group of palace maids to pay a visit to Ruyi. After a brief greeting, they went out and waited for Ruyi to change into the clothes of a concubine and take her out of the cold palace.

Soon, Ruyi came out. She was dressed up carefully and put lip balm on her lips, which made her look more beautiful.

But during these years in the cold palace, her once pretty face had lost some of its color, and there were faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes.

The originally jet-black hair also became dull and lifeless.

Li Yu looked at it and sighed in his heart. Concubine Xian was suffering in the cold palace.

The departure of Concubine Xian from the cold palace was quite grand this time. The imperial steward Li Yu came to pick her up, followed by a sedan chair, and a group of people followed behind to the Yikun Palace.

Arriving at the Yikun Palace, Ruyi entered the main hall. Suo Xin wanted to follow her in, but was stopped by Li Yu. He whispered, "The emperor is inside, we can just guard the door."

Suo Xin smiled, hoping that her master could reconcile with the emperor this time. After all, if she wanted to live a good life in the harem, she still had to rely on the emperor.

Ruyi took a look around the main hall and found that it was indeed magnificently built. The decorations were brightly colored and obviously new. There was also a vase on the table with blooming flowers in it.

Ruyi walked towards the warm room and saw Hongli standing there.

The two looked at each other for a moment, both with a sense of unfamiliarity towards each other in their eyes.

Ruyi was the first to look away and said coldly, "Your Highness."

Hongli looked at Ruyi's cold face but did not blame her. He was now full of guilt towards Ruyi.

They sat at the table. Hongli held her hand, talked to her, and asked about Ruyi's situation with a smile on his face. But Ruyi didn't care about his face at all. She questioned him at first, and then she turned a cold face. She was sarcastic about Hongli's words, or turned a blind eye.

No matter how good Hongli's temper was, he didn't want to be treated like this. His interest was completely ruined by Ruyi.

"You just left the cold palace today, take a good rest, I will see you another day."

After saying this, Hongli left the Yikun Palace.

Ruyi did not stand up to see him off. She just felt full of grievances. She was wrongly imprisoned in the cold palace. Wasn't Hongli willing to be patient and coax her?

Still, he has changed. Hongli is no longer the same Hongli as before. He was not like this before.

After Hongli left, Suo Xin walked in and looked at Ruyi and asked, "My dear, why did the emperor leave so soon?"

Ruyi didn't want others to see her embarrassed expression, so she found an excuse and said perfunctorily: "I haven't seen the emperor for so many years, so there is still some unfamiliarity between me and the emperor. It will be fine after a while."

After listening to this, Suoxin nodded in understanding.

Afterwards, Ruyi packed up simply and went to the Cining Palace to pay a visit to the Empress Dowager.

After entering the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager did not give her a good look. She exposed her trick of drinking poison in front of her, and sarcastically said that she was worthy of being the niece of the Jingren Palace and was always calculating.

Even without the incident of rescuing the empress dowager from the cold palace, the empress dowager's attitude towards Ruyi remained unchanged and she still hated her as always.

After coming out of the Cining Palace, Ruyi's joy of being released from the cold palace was completely gone.

On the day that Ruyi was released from the cold palace, she received nothing but blows.

Although all the concubines in the harem knew that she had left the cold palace, no one in the palace was on good terms with her, so naturally no one went to Yiku Palace to visit her.

She looked at the gorgeous yet cold decorations of the Yikun Palace and felt lonely. She felt that she was completely excluded by other people.

The next day was another day of paying respects.

Chen Wanyin woke up very early that day, and she was very excited about this visit.

She got out of bed carefully. Yongqi was still sleeping soundly in her bed.

Since she had Yongqi, as long as Hongli didn't come to Yonghe Palace, she would let Yongqi sleep with her most of the other nights.

When it’s so cold, it’s so comfortable to hug a small heater at night.

I looked at Haodaer again and saw that his little mouth was slightly open and he was sleeping soundly.

After walking out of the inner room, Chen Wanyin washed up and ate a few snacks.

Before leaving, he told Hao Shunxin to keep an eye on Yongqi in the palace and then went out.

When she walked out of the palace gate, there was a sedan chair waiting outside. She was now a concubine and would not let herself be wronged. She was helped by Nianrui to sit on the sedan chair and was carried to Changchun Palace by four eunuchs.

Sitting on it, watching the palace maids and eunuchs passing by on both sides of the long street saluting her, one has to say that in such a feudal society, being a master was a real pleasure.

When they arrived at Changchun Palace, a few people came sporadically, and Chen Wanyin's sitting position also changed. She sat in the second seat on the left.

Before she had sat down for a while, Gao Xiyue came in. She was the imperial concubine and had always sat in the first seat on the left over the years.

Chen Wanyin bowed to her.

The two sat down and chatted casually. Perhaps because Gao Xiyue had a daughter, her originally sharp personality was smoothed out a lot, and the two would talk when they met.

In a short while, everyone who came to pay their respects arrived.

Sitting below Chen Wanyin was Jin Yuyan, and next to her was Wei Yanwan.

The first position on the right is Concubine Chun Su Lujun. After all, she raised two princes and her status among the concubines in the harem is only second to Gao Xiyue.

There was an empty space below her, reserved for Concubine Xian.

As everyone expected, Ruyi finally came to Changchun Palace again after several years.

She came in and looked at the beauties in the palace, feeling lost. Each of them was younger than her. They had been pampered for many years and had delicate skin.

As for her, she has suffered over the years, her skin is rough, and she is inferior to him in every way.

Looking at the only empty seat left for her, she felt very uncomfortable and wondered when she had ended up in this situation.

After she sat down, she accidentally met the eyes of Chen Wanyin opposite her. Seeing her face becoming more beautiful than before she was sent to the cold palace, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.

Chen Wanyin had sharp eyes, so she naturally saw it. She rolled her eyes secretly.

After everyone was present, the queen also came out.

She looked at Ruyi, who was tortured and haggard in the cold palace, and felt comfortable all over as if she had drunk a cup of hot tea.

"Empress Xian, you just left the cold palace, and there are new people in the harem. I'm afraid you don't know them. The one sitting next to you is Shupin, the one sitting next to Jiapin is Ling Guiren, and the one sitting diagonally opposite Ling Guiren is Qing Changzai."

Ruyi followed the Queen's instructions and looked around. Shupin was cold and aloof, and Qing Changzai was plain in appearance, but her eyes were fixed on Ling Guiren Wei Yanwan.

She was dressed very delicately. Although she was pregnant and looked a little bloated, it did not hide her appearance, which was gentle, pretty and pretty.

While Ruyi was looking at her, Wei Yanwan was also looking at Empress Xian, and she felt that her heartstrings, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed.

She thought he was some kind of person, but it turned out he was just like that.

She is younger than Empress Xian and prettier than her, that’s her asset.

Ruyi was very displeased the first time she saw Wei Yanwan. As expected, it was she who betrayed Ling Yunche.
