Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

In Ruyi's earnest anticipation, Hai Lan finally came to the cold palace again.

Hailan called out "sister" several times before Ruyi calmed down and came out.

Hai Lan didn't notice Ruyi's attitude and continued to ask earnestly, "Sister, are you living well in the cold palace? Are you eating well? I heard that the cold palace is cold, so I packed some thick clothes for you."

After saying that, Hailan stuffed clothes in through the doorway where food was delivered.

But Ruyi didn't want this, she wanted Ye Xin! She wanted someone to serve her!

Although Ruyi thought so in her heart, she still said: "It's hard for you, Hailan. Your allowance is not much, and you still pack new clothes for me."

Hailan was moved and said, "Sister, there's not much I can do. As long as you can live well, I will be satisfied."

Ruyi gritted her teeth. Why haven’t you said anything about Ye Xin yet?

Ruyi could only hint at it, "I understand your intentions, Hailan, but why did you come here alone? How could the servants be so careless as to let a master like you come here on your own?"

Hai Lan was silent for a moment, then apologized, "Sister, I... Ye Xin was taken away by A Ruo... I'm too low-ranking to win her over..."

Ruyi was anxious. It’s okay if you don’t give it to Ye Xin but to Xiangyun!

Ruyi asked anxiously, "It's not your fault. Ah Ruo is a bit arrogant. What about Xiangyun? Why didn't Xiangyun come with you?"

Hai Lan shook her head and said, "Xiang Yun wanted to come, but she said that the last time she came, she was turned away by the guards. After all, two people coming here would be too conspicuous, so I came alone."

Ruyi was furious. If you can't do a small thing, what's the use of you? If you can't do it, don't promise her. You made her wait for so long in vain.

(Another spinning blade~)

Ling Yunche heard the voice, walked closer and asked, "Who is it? Who is there?"

Hai Lan was so frightened that she dared not move. Ling Yunche came over and she had no way to retreat, so she could only squat outside the doorway.

Ruyi was also very nervous. Looking through the crack in the door, she saw a young and handsome (in Ruyi's opinion) guard.

Ruyi's voice softened immediately, and she said, "Brother Guard, please don't tell anyone. Hailan... Hailan only came to see me."

Ruyi continued to plead, "This is Concubine Hai. She's worried that I'll suffer in the cold palace, so she came to see me. Please don't tell anyone."

Ling Yunche saluted Hai Lan and said helplessly, "Mr. Hai, why are you so late? Why are you here? Please don't embarrass us. Please go back quickly. I'm not asking for trouble, but this is the rule."

Ruyi was anxious, and Hailan was as still as a stick. She could only grit her teeth, pull out the silver hairpin on her head, pass it through the doorway, and say, "This is for you."

When Ling Yunche saw the huge pearl on the silver hairpin, his heart softened and he asked, "How about this, do you have any silver?"

Hailan stammered, "Yes."

Hai Lan hurriedly took out some small change from her purse and handed it to Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche took it and said, "Okay, Hai Changzai, if you need to send something from now on, don't come in person. It's too dangerous. Just give it to me and I'll hand it to her."

Ruyi asked, "Are you willing to help?"

Ling Yunche didn't understand why and said, "Isn't there money to be gained? Why don't you help?"

Ruyi suddenly had an idea and said, "Since you are willing to help, I need to know your name."

Ling Yunche replied: "My name is Ling Yunche."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Ling Yunche."

Seeing Ruyi smile, Ling Yunche thought of Wei Yanwan and smiled, "It's okay."

Zhao Jiuxiao called out to Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche could only order: "After you two finish chatting, go back quickly and don't let anyone see you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Hai Lan quickly said, "Sister, I can't come to see you often, but every ten days, as long as the weather is good, I will fly a kite in the Imperial Garden to let you know that I am safe. You should take good care of yourself too."

Ruyi's mind was elsewhere, so she replied, "Okay."

Hailan left, looking back every few steps.

When Ruyi saw Hailan leaving, she called out to Ling Yunche, who was about to leave, "Guard Ling!"

Ling Yunche turned around and approached the doorway.

Ruyi asked, "Guard Ling, I heard from Concubine Ji that if you do some work in there, you can exchange it for silver."

Seeing that no one was around, Ling Yunche replied, "She's right. People in this market love the embroidered ornaments from the palace the most. The palace maids secretly do work, whether it's embroidering handkerchiefs or making lace, and then send them out of the palace in exchange for money. That's what Concubine Ji did, and she asked Old Man Li to do it for her."

Ruyi said happily, "I can do this job. Would you be willing to deliver it for me?"

Ling Yunche replied, "Sure. Let me be frank. After you exchange this for silver, I want half of it."

Ruyi was surprised and asked in disbelief, "You got half the score?"

Ling Yunche was frightened by her loud voice and looked around. He replied, "I am taking a risk. Anyway, I have said it. If you are willing, just tell me. I will prepare needles and thread, silk scarves, and colored ropes for you."

Ruyi pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, it's a deal!"

Ling Yunche replied, "Okay, that's settled. Let's go back quickly."

Ruyi said calmly, "Thank you very much."

The next day

A young girl dressed as a palace maid ran over lightly, her face full of joy as she shouted, "Brother Yun Che!"

Seeing her approaching, Ling Yunche smiled and shouted, "Run slower! Don't fall."

Ling Yunche stepped forward, opened his palm, and revealed a dull ruby ​​ring.

Wei Yanwan happily took it and said, "It's really beautiful."

Ling Yunche said guiltily, "This is the darkest ruby, not worth much. But this is a token of my love. Look, inside."

Wei Yanwan looked at the ring carefully, saw the patterns inside, and happily held it up to the sunlight.

Ling Yunche said, referring to the lines illuminated by the sunlight: "This cloud is me, Ling Yunche, and this swallow is you, Wei Yanwan."

Wei Yanwan happily put it on her hand and said, "Brother Yun Che, although this ring is not valuable, your kindness is worth a thousand gold!"

Ling Yunche smiled, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh right, don't let your mother see it, she'll be disgusted if she sees it.

To be honest, I think your mother and your brother are like bottomless pits. You basically give them all your monthly salary, and you still think it's not enough? "

Wei Yanwan's smile faded upon hearing this, and she said helplessly, "What can I do? After all, she is my mother, my family. If... I could work for a favored concubine, I might be able to make some money.

Maybe I can pull you out and get you a better job, and then my mother might not be so opposed to us being together."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yunche sighed and said, "That does make sense, but I'm worried that this favored concubine will be surrounded by gossip. Just a few days ago, one came. I heard she was once the Emperor's Concubine Xian.

Being beaten and scolded by the master is a common occurrence for palace maids. The quiet and peaceful Sizhiku makes me feel at peace.

Wei Yanwan sighed, and the two chatted and laughed for a while, then Wei Yanwan returned to the Sizhiku.

Four-point library

Aunt Fen: "Yanwan."

Wei Yanwan: "Aunt Fen."

Aunt Fen sighed and called Wei Yanwan into the room.

Aunt Fen said, "Yan Wan, this money is not enough. There are places where it is not enough. Concubine Chun, although she is not favored, is at least the head of a palace. If you are willing, I will let you go for forty taels."

Wei Yanwan said happily, "Really?"

Aunt Fen said, "Girl, your heart isn't in this. You won't be able to do the job well if you stay."

Wei Yanwan worried again, "But Concubine Chun is not favored."

Aunt Fen whispered bewitchingly, "Just because you're not favored today doesn't mean you won't be favored in the future. The eldest prince is a sickly person, the second prince is also a sickly person, what about the third prince..."

Wei Yanwan came back to her senses and said gratefully, "Thank you, Aunt Fen, for your guidance! Thank you, Aunt Fen."

Royal Garden

Hailan happily flies a kite with Xiangyun

Hailan: "Go a little to the left. The cold palace is on the left. Sister can see it."

After finally flying the kite, Hailan contentedly put away the kite string and prepared to leave.

Hongli walked towards her and Hailan was startled.

Hai Lan timidly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Hongli said helplessly: "Am I that scary?"

Hailan quickly said: "No... It's not scary."

Hongli sighed and said, "Have you visited her in the cold palace?"

Hai Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "I went. I can't enter the cold palace, but I know there's nothing in there."

Hongli casually plucked off a few branches of trumpet creeper from the palace wall and said casually, "Trumpet creeper is the easiest to grow. Send it to the cold palace to add some greenery there."

Hai Lan responded coldly, "The trumpet creeper is good at climbing and can climb out of the cold palace wall, but my sister can't."

Hongli said slowly, "Growing flowers and grass might help distract my mind and make me less resentful."

Hailan retorted, "Sister is not a person who holds grudges."

Hongli was humiliated several times and didn't want to talk to Hailan anymore, so he left angrily.

Cold Palace

Ruyi was washing clothes with her fingers pinched in sadness. Since Hailan left last time, she never showed up on her own initiative again, and only asked Xiangyun to bring her some things.

Ruyi was furious. What's the point of giving these? It would be better to give some silver or a servant. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She rubbed the clothes in her hands angrily.

She didn't know how to wash clothes at all, but since no one was serving her, she wanted to maintain her dignity and at least not wear dirty clothes, so she followed Concubine Ji and learned for a while.

Now, Ruyi has to work hard to pull up water from the well, boil the bath water herself after getting covered in dust, and wash and dry her clothes herself after she has condescended to do so.

But Ruyi was not very experienced. She used to bathe every day when she was Concubine Xian, but now it has gradually become once every three days.

The clothes were not clean, but it was still better than not washing them at all. At least they didn't smell, just dusty. Fortunately, Ruyi's clothes were all dark in color, so the dustiness was not noticeable to others.

Ruyi's life is very fulfilling now. After finishing her work, she embroiders handkerchiefs. Although she is wearing armor, her hands' speed has not decreased at all. The embroidery is pretty good, but the armor will occasionally get caught on the threads, ruining the handkerchief.

Perhaps Ruyi was afraid of being alone, so whenever she had time, she would embroider with Concubine Ji. Concubine Ji didn't chase her away, but when she saw that she had ruined her supah twice because of snagging, she asked, "Can't you take off your armor to embroider?"

Ruyi said calmly, "Even if I am in the cold palace, I must live a decent life."

Concubine Ji: What does this have to do with dignity?

As for the kite that Hailan flew in the sky, Ruyi didn't even bother to look at it, and continued to embroider her handkerchief with her head down.

Outside the Cold Palace

Wei Yanwan was talking shyly to Ling Yunche about borrowing money.

Fortunately, Ling Yunche had extorted a lot of money from Ruyi, and readily agreed to lend Wei Yanwan 10 taels of silver, and asked Wei Yanwan to come to him tomorrow.

Wei Yanwan was surprised, and the two talked and laughed for a long time.

Ling Yunche also said that Hailan had sent something to the deposed concubine in the cold palace and also gave her some trumpet creeper seeds.

Wei Yanwan was surprised and said, "Trumpet creeper? Which queen is so strong that she still wants to grow flowers even in this state."

Ling Yunche sighed, "Yeah, I can't even afford to eat..."

Ruyi shouted from the doorway: "Ling Yunche—Ling Yunche!"

Ling Yunche had no choice but to let Wei Yanwan leave first and they would meet next time.

Wei Yanwan left obediently.

门洞

Ling Yunche was in a bad mood because his conversation was interrupted.

Ruyi ignored her and put the embroidery in a package and handed it out through the door.

Ling Yunche took it and said, "I've never seen someone like you. You only embroider enough to eat. I gave you so many Supas, and you actually ruined so many of them."

Ling Yunche felt distressed. He thought he could get a lot for 55, but it turned out that this concubine was obviously unskilled and had a very high scrap rate. He even gave her the Supa for free. If this continued, would he still be able to make any money?

Fortunately, Ruyi's lace making skills are pretty good, and the scrap rate is not that high, so he can make a little money.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Strive for excellence."

Ling Yunche: You are not very good at this!

The two were silent for a while, and Ling Yunche wanted to leave.

Ruyi suddenly asked sourly, "That little palace maid just now? Is she someone you know?"

Ruyi saw a pretty figure in the doorway and felt sad, so she couldn't wait to interrupt their conversation.

Ling Yunche obviously didn't want to tell her about Wei Yanwan, so he said, "She's from the same hometown as me. By the way, who is Concubine Chun? Is she kind?"

Ruyi was happy for a moment after hearing this, but was stunned by Ling Yunche's question and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Ling Yunche replied, "My fellow countryman is going to serve at Zhongcui Palace."

Ruyi said calmly, "Princess Chun has a very good temper and never harasses her servants."

Ling Yunche nodded indifferently and handed over the things Hai Lan gave him.

Ruyi asked, "What is this?"

Ling Yunche replied, "Hai Changzai sent it."

Ruyi opened it and saw some ordinary things and a packet of flower seeds. She almost fainted with anger again. Why would he give her flower seeds?! Didn’t he think she was busy enough?

Ruyi almost couldn't hold back her forced smile at Ling Yunche, and could only say, "Thank you very much." Then she hurried away.

Ling Yunche didn't understand Ruyi's feelings, so he went out of the palace to sell things. He still had to give money to Wei Yanwan tomorrow!

The next day

Yanwan waited anxiously. Ling Yunche sold the embroidery and brocade for a good price, and he handed 10 taels of silver to Wei Yanwan.

Ling Yunche: "Here are ten taels, which should be enough to make up your amount."

Wei Yanwan was moved and said, "With these forty taels, I can go to Zhongcui Palace to serve Concubine Chun."

Ling Yunche also echoed, "I heard that Concubine Chun has a good temper and doesn't torture anyone in the palace."

Wei Yanwan happily imagined a bright future with Ling Yunche, and Ling Yunche also smiled happily.
