Bai Ruiji was demoted and confined to her room just as she gained favor. The Empress Dowager almost smashed a few more vases in the Cining Palace. It was Fujia who came out to comfort her and said, "Didn't the Empress Dowager want Bai Ruiji to disrupt the harem?

Isn't it just right now? After this incident, Bai Ruiji will definitely hate the Queen and the eldest princess. If the Queen Mother makes an effort, there is no need to worry about not being able to regain the power of the palace. "

After hearing this, the Queen Mother calmed down and thought carefully about her future plans.

At the same time, the charity sale organized by the Queen was in full swing. Qin Li got in touch with Jingqin and took charge of the charity sale.

Qin Li was also a smart man, otherwise he would not have had the last laugh in his previous life. He first turned out all the unused items in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then personally went to the concubine's palace with people to inquire.

Qin Li: After this cleanup, the Imperial Household Department is much cleaner.

The concubines either wanted to please the empress, or to please the emperor, or they wanted to do their part, but Ruyi was different. When she saw Qin Li, she thought of the rotten material he sent her. Although she was kind-hearted and didn't want to argue with Qin Li, it was Qin Li who brought it to her, and she was just giving him a taste of his own medicine. She was not being stingy!

Ruyi looked at Qin Li's flattering expression, raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, saying lightly: "Since Eunuch Qin has come to Chengqian Palace in person, I also happen to have something to give to Eunuch Qin for charity sale. Eunuch Qin, please wait for a while. Ah Ruo."

A Ruo looked very proud as she followed Ruyi into the room.

Qin Li looked at the smug expressions of the master and servant and thought to himself that something was wrong.

Then, as expected, the two of them had smug expressions on their faces. Ah Ruo even said with a strange smile, "Since Eunuch Qin has come in person, then please trouble Eunuch Qin to take this box away personally, Sanbao~"

Sanbao had been standing behind the two of them, but the box was too heavy for him to move or stand up. After hearing Ah Ruo's words, he grunted and half-dragged, half-carried the box and placed it in front of Qin Li.

A Ruo was ecstatic. She even wondered why the master put a box of rotten materials there. It turned out that the master was so smart and had thought of this incident today and stayed behind specifically to disgust Qin Li.

Ruyi wasn't that clever. She didn't throw away the box of rotten materials simply because she couldn't bear to part with it. After all, only some of it was rotten, and the rest was still usable. So why throw it away? Giving it to a servant would have been decent!

Just now, A Ruo and Ruyi not only went to get these rotten materials, but also collected a bunch of things that Cheng Qian Palace didn't want, and stuffed them all into a big box, just to make Qin Li suffer.

A Ruo and Ruyi: After this cleanup, Chengqian Palace is much cleaner!

Qin Li was a little suspicious. He had been the head of the Imperial Household Department for so long, and Chengqian Palace had never given him any tips. He was so stingy! How could he be so generous now?

Then Qin Li walked forward with underestimation of his enemy. He tried hard but failed to move the box. Then he looked up and saw the master and servant had the same secretly happy expressions on their faces, and he knew what they were up to.

Qin Li pretended that he couldn't move it, and kept begging for mercy from A Ruo and Ruyi. After cheering them up, they turned around and left without appreciating Qin Li's miserable condition.

After Qin Li saw the two men leave, he signaled the young eunuch to move the box. The two of them worked together to put the box into the cart and left.

The young eunuch flattered him, "Master Qin really does it all himself!"

Qin Li, however, knew Ruyi's character well and said with emotion, "Master Xian, you are just trying to vent your anger on me! Just beg for mercy and consider it as contributing to this box of charity goods."

Qin Li was still too naive. He thought that although Ruyi wanted to vent her anger, at least she filled the box full so that he could make a profit. It was no big deal for him to bow his head once.

After returning, the young eunuch felt that the box was too heavy to carry, so he wanted to take out the things in the box and sort them out. As a result, when he opened the box, the young eunuch screamed: "Master Qin! There is only one box of books in the box!"

Qin Li was shocked and rushed forward to check. He took out countless of Ruyi's discarded drawings and manuscripts from the box. Finally, he found the waste materials at the bottom of the box. He could not bear the shock and rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot.

The young eunuch rushed over to support Qin Li. Before Qin Li fainted from anger, he said weakly, "It's...it's me...I was wrong about her...She is the reincarnation of a stingy person..."

After waking up, Qin Li became more and more angry the more he thought about it, so he took the charity items given by the concubines to the Yangxin Palace, and said under the pretext that they were the belongings of the masters in the harem, and it was difficult for the servants to distinguish them carefully, so they were specially presented to the emperor for his review.

Hongli happened to have some free time, so he decided to see the sincerity of the people in the harem in the charity sale.

Gao Xiyue gave him a fluted pipa, a masterpiece crafted by a renowned master for Gao Xiyue's birthday. Hongli, knowing the value of the pipa, nodded in satisfaction.

Jin Yuyan gave a box of Korean ginseng, which contained seven kinds of wild ginseng of different sizes. It looked more high-end when placed in a special box. Even the health master Hongli was tempted by it.

Fu Cha Chu Ying...

Su Lujun...

Huang Qiying...

Hailan...

Chen Wanyin...

Bai Ruiji...

Hongli looked at them one by one and was very satisfied. When he saw the big box given by Ruyi, he was even more satisfied. She really loves and understands me!

When he opened it, Hongli was stunned by what was inside. The big box was full of Ruyi's discarded manuscripts. He and Ruyi had been childhood sweethearts for so many years, and he would not mistake the hairpin-shaped small calligraphy.

Hongli couldn't believe it and asked the eunuchs to take out everything in the box. The eunuchs spent a long time taking out the manuscripts and drawings, and finally took out the cloth at the bottom of the box.

Hongli thought Ruyi had finally had a change of heart, but when he took a closer look, he saw that the material was actually rotten! What did Ruyi mean by this? She'd been faking it at the family dinner, but now, at the Empress's charity sale, she was openly giving away random things. Was she trying to disgust the Empress? Or him?

Ruyi really didn't think too much about it. She was so narrow-minded that she just wanted to disgust Qin Li and solve the charity sale issue at the same time. She didn't expect Qin Li to reveal these things to the emperor. As for whether it disgusted the queen, I am innocent!

Langya originally frowned when she saw the memorial from Qin Li, but when she turned around and heard Lianxin say that Qin Li had taken the concubines' belongings to show the emperor, Langya's mood instantly improved: I am disgusted by Ruyi's use of such trivial matters, and it is your turn to suffer.

Hongli didn't understand where Ruyi got all these corrupt materials from?

Qin Li saw what Hongli was thinking immediately and knelt down and kowtowed, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, it is my fault. Please forgive me! A few days ago, I was busy cleaning the palace and delayed delivering the allowances to the concubines. I asked Xiao Zhuizi to deliver it to Concubine Xian.

However, Concubine Xian's favorite clothes were different from those of other concubines, and the small pendant was also new, so she mistakenly took it with the rotten material that was to be destroyed! At that time, the material had a small piece of rot, and the small pendant did not notice it, so it was given to Concubine Xian.

"I was punished by the Empress for this matter. I plead guilty and paid double the amount for Concubine Xian out of my own pocket. I truly didn't know Concubine Xian would want to punish me and deliberately sent her rotten material! I plead guilty and beg Your Majesty to forgive my momentary mistake."

Hongli understood: Qin Li was flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak to disgust Ruyi, and Ruyi disgusted him back.

It's this box of rotting materials and waste paper that Ruyi couldn't have kept for so long. It's really not worthy of being on the table! Hongli increasingly feels that making Langya his legitimate wife is the right thing to do.

As a master, Ruyi could torture her servants any time she wanted. Why did she have to take advantage of the Empress's charity sale to stuff these things into the box to disgust Qin Li? Was she trying to disgust Qin Li, or the Empress who organized the sale, or him who ordered it?

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Qin Li, your merits will atone for your sins. Move this box back to Chengqian Palace. I will pay Ruyi's share."

Qin Li: "Yeah!" He took a few young eunuchs and started to pack up, and they moved away together.

When Hongli saw Qin Li's actions, he suddenly realized why Ruyi had stuffed a bunch of garbage into the box. It turned out that she was trying to torture Qin Li. How petty!

Hongli looked through the items given by the Queen and Jingqin, and his mood improved a lot. However, Chengqian Palace returned to silence, and Ruyi fell out of favor again!

The emperor visited more often those concubines like Fu Cha Langya, Gao Xiyue, and Jin Yuyan who had lost a lot of blood. Naturally, he couldn't ignore the other concubines who had contributed. The only one who would be ignored was Ruyi, who had not contributed.

Cheng Qiangong

Qin Li came to Chengqian Palace with a group of eunuchs.

Seeing this, Suo Xin hurried forward and said, "Eunuch Qin, what brings you here?"

Ruyi and Hailan, who were chatting in the inner room, also came out.

Seeing that everyone in Chengqian Palace had arrived, Qin Li said loudly, "Empress Xian, the Emperor looked at the item you gave him and felt it was inappropriate, so he asked me to bring it back to you. I'll leave the box here, and please, Empress Xian, take it back to the bedroom!"

Upon hearing this, Ruyi turned around and glared at Arruo, then turned around and said kindly: "In that case, let Sanbao move back. Thank you for your trouble, Eunuch Qin Li." Then she turned around angrily and went back to the bedroom.

Hailan also left.

Qin Li looked at him coldly, snorted and turned away.

Sanbao and Suoxin were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

In the inner room,

Ah Ruo was trembling and waiting for Ruyi's criticism, but Ruyi pouted and played with the armor in her hand. Hai Lan didn't understand why and didn't know how to speak.

A'ruo, the one who spoke up, was the one who came up with bad ideas, and Hailan, the second person in charge, didn't know what was going on. No one spoke up for Ruyi, so she could only sulk alone.

It was Suo Xin who came in and found the place completely silent. To save the terrifying atmosphere, the usually talkative Suo Xin could only say, "Master, there's no need to bother with Qin Li. If he brings this matter up to the Emperor, won't that prove that he's harassing our Chengqian Palace?"

Ah Ruo, whose mouth had been sawed off, also defended herself upon hearing this: "Yes, Master, we didn't lose anything anyway, and we only made Qin Li run a few more times!"

Qin Li: I will injure the enemy by 800 even if it means I lose 1,000 of my own!

After hearing what the two of them said, Ruyi felt much better and started chatting with Hailan with a smile on her face.

Soon Ruyi could no longer laugh because she found that the emperor was not coming to Chengqian Palace again!

Ruyi's expression turned into that of a stepmother again, and she refused to pay any attention to A Ruo.
