Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

Chapter 105: First Chapter 1: Rain Washes Away All Dust

The two of them strolled slowly along the lakeside promenade, followed by a large group of palace servants.

The lake is full of turquoise lotus leaves and blooming pink lotus flowers.

The breeze was blowing across the lake, and it was really comfortable and pleasant standing in the shade of the porch.

Ruyi specially wore a lotus red long skirt with lotus leaf patterns embroidered on it today, and two hollow gold lotus hairpins were pinned diagonally on her head.

The emperor held Ruyi's hand and sighed, "Walking across the river to enjoy the autumn water, I love the fresh red lotus. Climbing the lotus to play with its pearls, the ripples cannot form a circle.

Although it is not autumn yet, your red dress is as bright and delicate as a red lotus. "

Ruyi smiled and let go of the emperor's hand, walked quickly in front of the emperor, and turned around playfully.

The hem of her skirt spread out slightly as she moved, just like a lotus flower just blooming.

The emperor's eyes were filled with a burning sensation. He stepped forward and held Ruyi's hand again, saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "Ruyi, tonight..."

Before the emperor could finish, Ruyi suddenly pointed to a place not far away and said in surprise, "Your Majesty, look over there, it seems like someone is standing there painting. I want to go take a look."

After saying that, Ruyi broke free from the emperor's hand like a happy rabbit and walked forward quickly and steadily.

Looking at Ruyi, who was as lively and smart as before she got married, the emperor curled up his lips into a doting smile.

It seems that the rules of the palace have indeed constrained Ruyi for a long time. As soon as she arrived at the Old Summer Palace, her true colors were revealed.

When the emperor walked over, he saw Ruyi looking intently at the lotus leaf painting on the canvas.

A woman in a light green gauze gown with narrow sleeves and a front opening was holding a paintbrush and chatting and laughing with Ruyi in a low voice.

The emperor's eyes lit up, and he cleared his throat and said, "How dare you, what are you talking about behind my back?"

Although the emperor spoke in a joking tone, Wan Changzai was still frightened and shivered unconsciously.

Ruyi pointed at the lotus leaves in the painting nonchalantly and said coquettishly, "I am looking at Concubine Wan's painting.

But there are only lotus leaves in this painting, but no lotus flowers. I find it strange. "

"Oh?" The emperor became interested and came closer to take a closer look. "Sure enough, there are lotus leaves of various shapes everywhere, and the painting is very realistic.

But why did you only draw the lotus leaves and not the lotus flowers?"

Facing the emperor's gaze, Wan Chang tried her best to control her nervousness and said, "This painting of mine is 'The Lotus Leaves Reach the Sky, Endless and Green', and I only painted half of it."

Wan Chang pointed to a blank spot in the upper left corner of the painting and continued, "This is where I plan to paint 'Lotus Flowers Are Redder in the Sunlight'."

"Oh? You do have some clever ideas, but I don't know how you are going to paint this lotus?"

The emperor smiled and nodded, signaling Wanchang to continue painting.

"I...I haven't made up my mind yet. Could you please give me some advice, Your Majesty?"

Wan Chang mustered up her courage and finally said this.

Ruyi, who was standing aside, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw that the emperor had already held Wanchang's hand holding the paintbrush and was ready to continue painting.

Ruyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, painting is really boring. You also know that I am a person who cannot calm down.

I want to go to the front to continue admiring the lotus, so I will take my leave now."

After Ruyi finished speaking, she gave the emperor a coquettish and charming smile, and without waiting for the emperor's agreement, she turned around and left.

Ruyi has always been unruly when interacting with him in private.

The emperor certainly didn't care about these things. He just laughed and scolded behind Ruyi, "You also said that Yongji and Yongqi were monkeys. In my opinion, you are the biggest monkey."

After Ruyi left, Wanchang followed Ruyi's instructions and clumsily painted lotus flowers following the emperor's movements.

After finishing one flower, Wan Chang felt her body stiffen.

"Your Majesty's painting is really beautiful. Compared with it, my lotus leaf is really petty.

I only knew that Your Majesty was capable of governing the country, but I didn’t know that Your Majesty was also so adept at painting. You are truly a master painter, and I admire you.”

The emperor laughed out loud and said, "The lotus leaves painted by Concubine Wan are also very lifelike. I didn't know your painting skills are so superb."

Wan Chang lowered her head and smiled shyly, "It's the Emperor who taught me well."

The lotus flowers in the pond set off Wan Changzai's refreshing clothes, as if a cool breeze occasionally brushed across the heart in the hot summer.

The emperor had never seen Wanchang so shy and lovely, and was stunned for a moment.

That night, the emperor brought Wan Changzai back to Jiuzhou Qingyan.

The next day, Wan Chang was successfully promoted to Concubine Wan.

Although her position was still not high, Ruyi knew that her promotion speed was much faster than Chen Wanyin's in her previous life.

As the first concubine favored by the Emperor when he came to the Old Summer Palace, Concubine Wan's promotion made Concubine Xiu extremely jealous.

Her pretty face was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her hair was also wet with sweat, sticking to her forehead in clumps.

After the dance, Concubine Xiu slumped in her chair.

Although there was a large basin of ice beside her, Concubine Xiu still ordered the palace maids to fan her continuously.

Hongdou said distressedly, "My master is afraid of heat. In this kind of weather, even if you stand still, you will sweat.

But the master insisted on practicing dancing. I see that you are almost exhausted, please take a rest."

Concubine Xiu wiped the sweat off her head with a handkerchief and stood up again, "No. Concubine Wan, a concubine who has been out of favor for many years, can win the emperor's favor, how can I be willing to be left behind?

The rules of the Old Summer Palace are different from those of the Forbidden City. I have already thought about it. When I have mastered this step-by-step lotus dance, I will definitely amaze the emperor at the Empress' lotus viewing banquet.

Maybe I can use this opportunity to be promoted to the position of imperial concubine and completely suppress Concubine Shu."

Speaking of Concubine Shu, Concubine Xiu was full of fighting spirit. She stood up and started practicing again and again.

Changchun Fairy House.

The drizzle continued for several days without any sign of stopping.

The temperature has dropped a lot compared to the previous few days, and the moist cool breeze blowing has really given me a wonderful feeling of "the first rain washes away all the dust".

Lianxin brought a bowl of medicine and placed it on the table in front of Fucha Langya.

"My lady, as you ordered, I have doubled the amount of this pregnancy medicine. I have let it cool down a bit, and now the temperature is just right for taking it in.

It’s just that this smell is very bitter to me, do you really want to…”

Fu Cha Langya didn't say anything. She took a deep breath, picked up the medicine bowl, blew twice, and drank it all.

After a bowl of tea, the bitter taste that came up almost made Fu Cha Lang Ya vomit. Lian Xin hurriedly brought tea to help Fu Cha Lang Ya rinse her mouth.

After drinking the pregnancy-maintaining medicine, Fucha Langya signaled Lianxin to take some sliced ​​ginseng and put it in her mouth before she stopped.

Lian Xin saw that Fu Cha Lang Ya's expression had eased a little, and then she said, "My lady, we have almost finished the donkey-hide gelatin and deer antlers that Old Madam Fu Cha sent us.

There is only half of this ginseng left. Should we send a message and ask the government to send some more?"
