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

Ruyi fell out of favor, and all the concubines got a share of the spoils, except Hai Lan who resolutely followed Ruyi. When she was occasionally summoned by Hongli, she always declined. After a while, Hongli understood what she meant and did not force her.

Since neither of the two masters of Chengqian Palace favored her, Qin Li, the chief steward of internal affairs, naturally started to show off. The things he gave were all old things, but they were still in line with the rules.

The master's life was not easy, and the servants' life was even harder. Ruyi had a few side dishes, while A Ruo and惢心 had only pickled vegetables and white porridge at most. The food for the servants was even worse, and they could barely afford to drink the white porridge.

Hailan's situation was not much better. She had a low position and did not have the same special relationship as Ruyi. She ate pickled vegetables and white porridge every meal. Ye Xin's meal was the same as everyone else's, with only a bowl of white porridge at most.

The maids and eunuchs in Chengqian Palace were all complaining, but Ruyi was as calm as a chrysanthemum and was embroidering flowers. Hailan asked for a meeting but never mentioned the issue of the allowance. Everyone felt desperate and helpless.

A Ruo had no choice but to run out to find Qin Li and had a quarrel with him on the street.

Qin Li was mocking A Ruo, but Lang Ya, who was dragged by Jing Qin to relax, happened to see him.

Langya, who loved power but fame even more, turned pale upon hearing this. Su Lian understood and stepped forward to ask, "Qin Li, Ah Ruo, what's going on?"

Qin Li always confuses right and wrong.

However, A Ruo was not a person who was afraid of others. After a sharp rebuttal, she also spoke eloquently about Qin Li's withholding of their share.

Su Lian looked at Langya's expression and understood what she meant. She stepped forward and angrily scolded, "Qin Li, how dare you arbitrarily deduct your master's share? Don't you want to live anymore?"

Su Lian's angry rebuke frightened Qin Li, who immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

Since Su Lian played the villain, Lang Ya naturally had to play the hero.

Langya said gently, "Alright, Qin Li, considering this is your first offense, I can spare you the death penalty, but I cannot escape punishment for your crimes. I order you to pay double the Chengqian Palace allowance as soon as possible, or you will no longer be in office as the head of internal affairs."

Qin Li suddenly saw the light at the end of the tunnel and kowtowed to thank Fu Cha Langya.

Fu Cha Langya solved the mess and prepared to leave with Jingqin.

Jingqin let go of Fucha Langya and walked up to the kneeling A Ruo.

Fu Cha Langya was surprised for a moment, but did not stop it.

Jingqin smiled and said, "Get up."

Ah Ruo was somewhat shocked. She slowly stood up and stammered, "Your servant...your servant thanks the princess."

Jingqin continued, "You are a loyal servant. You dare to come to Qin Li alone to seek justice for your master. This princess has high hopes for you. Aunt Su Lian."

Su Lian: "The servant is here."

Jingqin: "You must personally escort A'ruo back and reward her for her loyalty. Also, take out the gold-inlaid jade ruyi that the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave me on my last birthday and give it to A'ruo as my dowry."

Ah Ruo seemed to be struck by a surprise from heaven. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your servant thanks the princess for the reward. Your servant thanks the princess for the reward!"

Su Lian nodded and took A Ruo to Changchun Palace to get Ruyi.

Jingqin was not finished yet. She walked up to the kneeling Qin Li and said, "Eunuch Qin."

Qin Li was startled and quickly replied: "The servant is here."

Jingqin: "Eunuch Qin is an old man in the palace and is very smooth in his work. He must know his limits in the future. Even if he is dissatisfied for a while, he can't let the whole palace know about it."

Jingqin: You did a great job. If you don't like Ruyi, just complain to her privately. Don't make it look bad for everyone. You must make sure that the whole palace knows about what happened today, so that everyone knows how virtuous the Empress Dowager is.

Qin Li was also a shrewd man. He rolled his eyes and said, "I know I was wrong. I will definitely not do it again. Chengqian Palace will also double the compensation."

Qin Li: I understand, and I will do it beautifully.

Jingqin had dealt with Qin Li for a long time in her previous life, so she was naturally satisfied with his good sense and took Fu Cha Langya away.

Fu Cha Langya followed Jing Qin away. She felt a little uncomfortable about Jing Qin rewarding Ruyi, but there were so many people on the street and she didn't find out. When she returned to Changchun Palace, Fu Cha Langya couldn't help it.

Langya: "Jingqin, why did you suddenly send Ruyi to A'ruo?"

The fact that Ruyi stole her Ruyi was not only a thorn in Ruyi's side, but also a thorn in her side, so she naturally felt resentful.

Jingqin: "Don't Empress Xian and A Ruo like to mention the Ruyi incident? They even changed her name to Ruyi. Ha, since they like to mention it so much, I will give everyone in Chengqian Palace a Ruyi. In the future, when they see these Ruyi, they will be reminded of her position as the legitimate wife, which she can't take away. Isn't that wonderful?

It's been so long since the Ruyi incident, yet they're still dwelling on it, constantly bringing it up. It's annoying even if they're not. Since they love to talk about it so much, just talk to all the Ruyis. Anyway, it's no longer the same Ruyi from the beginning, and some things are missed once they're missed."

Fucha Langya's face flushed. She was also immersed in the past and couldn't get out of it. Now thinking about it, she was really embarrassed. What happened in the past was in the past. What's the point of sighing and lamenting like Ruyi? Although she didn't get Ruyi, the position of the legitimate wife was hers. Why bother with this momentary loss?

Jingqin watched the queen deep in thought, knowing that her goal had been achieved, and ate the cakes on the table with satisfaction.

However, A Ruo happily followed Su Lian back to Chengqian Palace, holding the Ruyi.

Cheng Qiangong

Hailan and Ruyi were sitting happily facing each other at the gate, embroidering a painting, when they saw Sulian walk in with A Ruo, who looked very happy.惢心 hurried to greet them.

惢心: "Sister Su Lian, why did the Queen trouble you to come?"

Su Lian smiled and replied, "This servant is here on behalf of the Empress. The Empress has learned that Qin Li has withheld the allowance from Chengqian Palace. She has severely punished Qin Li and will double the allowance for Chengqian Palace.

Miss A Ruo was loyal and courageous. She questioned Qin Li on the street for her master, which made the Empress know about this. The eldest princess admired Miss A Ruo's loyalty and gave her a gold-inlaid jade Yuanchu Ruyi as a dowry.

Ruyi and Hailan exchanged a glance before stepping forward and saying, "Thank you, Su Lian, for making this trip. I thank the Empress for upholding justice for me."

At this time, Qin Li also came over with a group of people. Qin Li stepped forward and flattered her, "Empress Xianpin, it is my fault. I was careless and forgot to distribute the allowance to Chengqian Palace. It is my fault. I am willing to accept the punishment and pay double the allowance to Chengqian Palace.

Look, there are red baskets of charcoal for the winter, fine cotton satin, these ornaments, and even white flower sachets. They are all top-notch. Please have your Ladyship Xian take a look."

Ah Ruo, however, began to shake herself and complain, "Anything else is fine, but it's these sachets that make me angry. Last time, you dared to use inferior white flower lilies to make sachets and send them to us. Even if you make a good one this time, we won't accept it. Don't think that the people in Chengqian Palace are easy to fool."

Qin Li quickly apologized with a smile, "Yes, yes, I know I was wrong and I won't do it again."

Qin Li: I’ll dare to do it again next time, hehe.

After hearing what Qin Li and Su Lian said, Concubine Xian couldn't maintain her chrysanthemum-like smile. She said in a hoarse voice, "Since it's already been made up, let's forget about it this time. Rong Xin, see Su Lian off. San Bao, see Qin Li off."

Suoxin and Sanbao each sent someone out.

A Ruo stopped talking and went back to her room holding her Ruyi.

Ruyi, however, frowned and sat down worriedly, ready to continue embroidering. Hailan also sat down with her. Seeing Ruyi's worried look, Hailan was silent for a while before speaking: "Sister? Do you think A Ruo's behavior is inappropriate?"

Ruyi said calmly, "I just think A'ruo is too impulsive."

Hai Lan, a true loyalist to Ruyi, understood Ruyi's intentions immediately and angrily said, "Aruo's actions were truly reckless. The Empress even saw her. The Empress had already stopped making decisions for us, but now Aruo has made the decision. How hypocritical."

Ruyi smiled mysteriously and continued embroidering with her fingers pinched.

As soon as惢心 came back, she heard Hailan and Ruyi slandering the Queen. She looked at Ye Xin and felt helpless.

You're like gourds with missing mouths. If you don't tell me, how will the Queen know that we're missing our share? If Ah Ruo doesn't argue, I'm afraid no one will know that they're running out of food in Chengqian Palace!

Seeing that Ruyi's face had improved a lot, Hailan became even more excited and continued, "I wonder what the Queen meant by rewarding Ruyi. Sister, is the Queen still holding a grudge against you for almost becoming the legitimate wife?"

Ye Xin rolled her eyes. Who does the Queen hold a grudge against? It was clearly the eldest princess who gave Ruyi a gift, yet she insists on saying it was the Queen's deliberate act. It goes on and on, day after day. I think in this palace, the two of you are the ones who care most about that matter.

Everyone in Chengqian Palace thanked A Ruo for standing up for them this time. Even Ye Xin, who had previously disobeyed A Ruo, was grateful to her.

Although Ah Ruo usually flaunts her power in Chengqian Palace, she really has something to do! If Ah Ruo hadn't gone to find Qin Li, they would probably still be eating porridge now.

Qin Li came in a grand manner and left in a grand manner, leaving Chengqian Palace a laughing stock. The favorite concubine living in Chengqian Palace did not dare to complain to the emperor when her allowance was deducted, and her dowry maid had to go to the long street to stop people. I have never seen such a cowardly master.

When the news reached the Yangxin Palace, Hongli froze in his tracks as he listened to the pipa girl playing the instrument.

Hongli: "Shall I just confine her for a few days?"

Wang Qin: "Yes, just five days."

Wang Qin: At that time, they said that she would be released from house arrest when she finished copying. Concubine Xian copied the books really quickly and finished it in five days. But wasn’t she only under house arrest for five days?

Hongli: "Then why is she like a turtle and refuses to leave Chengqian Palace?" Even if she is angry with him and doesn't want to come to Yangxin Palace, she goes to Changchun Palace to pay her respects every day and can't even say a word to the Queen?

Wang Qin didn't dare to respond and could only laugh it off.

Hongli continued to talk to himself: "A Ruo is a loyal person."

Wang Qin quickly patted the dragon's butt and said, "Yes, the eldest princess praised her loyalty and even gave A Ruo a Ruyi."

Hongli nodded and agreed: "Jingqin is smart, and the queen is virtuous."

As for Concubine Xian, the Empress arranged Chengqian Palace for her, yet she still lived such a miserable life. It really was like a hopeless case! After thinking about it, Hongli decided to write a plaque and send it to Chengqian Palace.

Originally, everyone in the harem was mocking the farce in Chengqian Palace, but Hongli turned around and gave a plaque to Concubine Xian. No one could say anything for a while, and the harem returned to peace.

Only Hongli was complacent. He thought that a plaque could quell the rumors in the harem. He was really great.

However, Ruyi, who received the plaque from the emperor, thought that Hongli was asking for peace with her, and she was arrogantly struggling over whether to go to the Yangxin Palace to express her gratitude. Finally, under A Ruo's instigation, she reluctantly agreed and went to the Yangxin Palace to ask for an audience with the wall mural she had spent time embroidering.

Yangxindian

Hongli flirted with Bai Ruiji in a casual manner, but when he saw Ruyi coming in, he put away his playful attitude and said seriously, "Ruyi, you're here."

Ruyi also noticed the unusual pipa girl in the front row, pouted, and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I thought I came to the Yangxin Palace every day."

Hongli had been enjoying the beautiful sound of the pipa, but this sound gave him a headache. He pulled Ruyi to sit on the couch with him and said soothingly, "I thought you were going to stay in Chengqian Palace and not come out."

Ruyi pouted, leaned against Hongli, and unfolded the embroidery in her hand as she spoke, saying, "I stayed in Chengqian Palace for this painting."

Hongli was pleasantly surprised when he saw it: "A horse on the wall? You embroidered it into a painting."

Ruyi looked proud and said, "Yes, I spent a lot of time on it."
