The Changchun Palace team travels back in time to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

The fifth year of Yongzheng's reign

Empress Fucha Rongyin opened her eyes and found herself sitting in front of her dressing table. A delicate face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

A beep sounded in her mind, followed by a calm female voice: "Miss Fucha, you have successfully entered the body of the alternate-timeline counterpart Fucha Langhua. The current timeline is the fifth year of the Yongzheng Emperor's reign. I am the ghost messenger responsible for receiving you. You can call me by my employee number: Yuan Yi. If necessary, you can choose to access the internal voice system, activate the team frequency, and communicate with the team members and me."

The maid Su Lian stepped forward and skillfully did her hair and makeup, while whispering, "Your Highness, I am Mingyu."

Rongyin understood; it seemed they had already entered the world of Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. When the three of them signed the contract, the director explained its many contents in detail: Yuan Yi, the best ghost messenger of the year, was responsible for protecting them, collecting the information they provided, and offering guidance when necessary; they had gained considerable divine power, such as "mental communication" and "team frequency bands," methods of communication across distances, allowing them to communicate solely through thought. In addition, there were many other supernatural abilities, some allowing their souls to leave their bodies, others protecting them from calamities—truly miraculous.

Empress Fucha Rongyin caught a glimpse of maids waiting in the room with jewelry and clothes out of the corner of her eye, and activated her internal voice prompt: "It seems we've already entered. Where's Yingluo?"

The voice in my mind sounded again: "Miss Fucha, Miss Ming, in the process of arranging for Miss Wei to enter the alternate dimension, I discovered that the point where her alternate dimension intersected with your causal lines was much later than the current time. So after discussing it with her, I changed the strategy and had her connect with Lianxin, an official of the Imperial Household Department. After the selection, she will be assigned to you by the Imperial Household Department."

Fucha Rong asked with some concern, "Yuan Yi, may this expose Yingluo?"

"Please rest assured, because in your original world, Miss Wei was once your palace maid, after Miss Ming in the order of succession; therefore, making her your palace maid in this world, and still after Miss Ming in the order of succession, will not change the causal relationship between the three of you, and will not attract the attention of the indescribable thing."

Rongyin and Mingyu were relieved. Rongyin then asked, "It's the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign...isn't that the year I married the Emperor?"

Yuan Yi replied: "Yes, today is the day of the selection for the Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace world. Afterwards, you will become the primary consort of Aisin Gioro Hongli. Please note: Aisin Gioro Hongli in the Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace world is an alternate time-space counterpart of Aisin Gioro Hongli in the Yanxi Palace world, but he is not completely equivalent to Aisin Gioro Hongli."

Fucha Rongyin: "I understand. This emperor is not the emperor I love. He may even be a demon, or, as the director said, become a non-human being. I will be vigilant and will not act on emotion."

Mingyu: "I will definitely protect Your Majesty!"

After finishing her hair and makeup, Empress Fucha Rongyin went to the main hall to greet her elders. Her father, Li Rongbao, had passed away early, and the stern-faced middle-aged woman in the main hall was her mother in this world.

Empress Fucha Rongyin greeted her respectfully, addressing her as "Mother."

Her mother remained serious, only telling her that the Fourth Prince was holding a selection of concubines at Jiangxue Pavilion today, and that she must be on her best, as the glory of the entire Fucha family rested on her shoulders, and so on.

Rongyin outwardly agreed respectfully, but inwardly she was astonished.

In the world of Yanxi Palace, she was clearly betrothed to the fourth prince, Hongli, by the late emperor. A year before the wedding, her Amuqimawu passed away. The late emperor ordered Hongli, Prince Yi, Prince Zhuang, and various officials to pay their respects. This was the only time Hongli paid respects to an official outside the palace. It can be said that the late emperor had already made plans for her marriage to Hongli. However, in this world, the betrothal was replaced by a talent show.

What surprised her even more was her mother's words: Fucha was born into the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, and her own son, Ongkuma Fahashtun, had fought alongside Emperor Taizong and was an important minister during the Shunzhi reign, rising to the position of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince; although her father and his sons were implicated by the Eighth Prince Aqina, they could still be considered to hold high positions and great power, and later her younger brother, Fuheng, also served as a court attendant.

The Fucha family was originally a family of great wealth and influence, so why should they jeopardize their entire family's honor and disgrace through their own marriage? Was it because the writers who created this world originally portrayed the Fucha family in this way? Or was it due to the erosion of the natural order?

She suppressed her many questions and decided to go to Jiangxuexuan first.

Mingyu accompanied Rongyin as they boarded the carriage and headed towards Jiangxue Pavilion.
