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

After Yuan Yi finished speaking, he called on Yingluo: "Alright, that concludes my part. Next speaker, Ms. Wei, please explain the situation regarding the Imperial Household Department."

Yingluo laughed, "Ha! So what you meant by 'granularity' is just everyone comparing what they already know! Okay, let me begin. Ever since I entered the Imperial Household Department, I've found that everyone here is completely unruly. Those guards, maids, and eunuchs—they not only don't have any rules about not touching each other freely, they openly chat outside! The head steward of the Imperial Household Department, Liang, doesn't focus on his duties; instead, he's cultivated many informants in front of the Emperor, specifically to find out which concubine is favored and which is out of favor, rushing to fawn over the powerful and belittle the weak. It's rumored in the Imperial Household Department that this Eunuch Liang secretly possesses a register of all the concubines' names..." The register specifically listed the degree of favor each person received. Liang Gonggong's eldest apprentice, Qin Li, tried several times to inquire about this register, but was reprimanded each time. There were no prohibitions regarding matters like "eating together" or "vegetarian households." There was even a rumor that the current emperor, and later the late emperor, had a "eating together" relationship with a certain aunt. "After saying this," Yingluo extended her hand to Yuan Yi, "Good Yuan Yi, I used up Lianxin's entire month's salary and all my savings to find this information. If you want to find out anything else in the future, you'll have to give me money. You can't just watch that girl become penniless!"

Yuan Yi warned, "What do you mean, Ms. Wei? I can't arbitrarily intervene in the material aspects of this world. I don't have any money for you. You'll have to raise the funds for all your future operations yourself!"

Yingluo was furious upon hearing this, but knowing that this person was a ghost messenger, she dared not speak out and could only devour the braised pork as if seeking revenge.

Rongyin said worriedly, “The Imperial Household Department is in charge of palace affairs. If they neglect their duties so much, only focusing on scheming and trying to guess the emperor’s intentions, how can this be a sustainable way? Furthermore, this practice of pairing palace maids and eunuchs for food and vegetables is an old custom from the Ming Dynasty. Although it is understandable that palace maids and eunuchs, lonely in the deep palace, find solace in each other, it also led to the Ming Dynasty’s palace maids and eunuchs colluding and plotting to seize power, resulting in the rampant eunuch faction, the weakness of the country, and ultimately its downfall. To avoid repeating the same mistakes, our Great Qing Dynasty has long since banned such practices. If this trend really takes hold in the Forbidden City, I fear that the fate of our Great Qing Dynasty is in grave danger.”

Yingluo was munching on braised pork when she heard this and suddenly thought of Yuan Chunwang. Although she had no romantic feelings for Yuan Chunwang, only regarding him as an older brother, he had developed a possessive desire for her. After she became a concubine, he outwardly remained the loyal and considerate older brother, but inwardly he was already burning with jealousy. Not only did he side with the Empress Dowager to take revenge on her, but he also caused a series of subsequent incidents. Even after going mad, he still harmed her daughter, Zhaohua.

Although Yuan Chunwang, her daughter, and she herself were all dead, and the past had faded away, it was stirred up again at this moment. Yingluo's feelings for Yuan Chunwang went from a little guilt and great disappointment to a deep-seated hatred after her daughter's accident. Although all of that had passed, mentioning the couple still made her feel a little unhappy for no reason.

A lonely person finding another lonely person may find fulfillment, or it may create even more dissatisfaction. A person who only uses another person as a vessel for self-gratification and self-gratification, even if they temporarily establish a connection with someone else, cannot maintain a lasting relationship.

Yingluo lowered her eyes, channeling her sudden complex emotions into her appetite, and continued to eat heartily. Seeing her suddenly become quiet, Rongyin comforted her, "Yingluo, if we really don't have enough money, I'll think of another way." Yingluo gave a muffled reply, concealing her worries, "Your Majesty is so kind. But we should be able to reunite in a couple of days. Until then, Your Majesty and Mingyu should just take good care of yourselves."

Seeing this, Yuan Yi felt a little guilty and cleared his throat, saying, "Then let's end our meeting here today. If there are any important matters that need to be discussed later, I will contact you again."

After saying that, Yuan Yi used his magic to send the three of them back to their respective bodies.

The next day, an imperial edict arrived from the palace, bestowing upon the fourth prince the title of Prince Bao and upon Rongyin the title of Prince Bao's primary consort, to be married on August 2nd.

Rongyin and her family kowtowed to express their gratitude for the Emperor's grace. The eunuch who delivered the decree smiled and handed her the jade ruyi. After that, preparations for the wedding began. Every day, she listened to the inexplicable instructions from the Old Madam Fucha, such as "You must use your methods and authority to deter the concubines and not let them cause trouble, otherwise, will there still be good days for the Fucha clan?" In the daily preparations and waiting, she hoped to meet Yingluo as soon as possible.

Finally, on August 2nd, Fucha Langhua (Fucha Rongyin) married Prince Bao Hongli at the West Second Palace and became his primary consort.
