Chapter 117 Training
Noticing Ruyi's gaze, Yihuan put down her teacup and said sternly, "Your Majesty, I think Concubine Mei's words are quite reasonable. This kind of unhealthy trend should be dealt with thoroughly. We can't just let it go because they are young. Even if they are still young, they should know how to respect others."
Shu Fei has always been unique in the palace. She is aloof and indifferent, and rarely argues for others. What she said today is indeed reasonable.
After she said this, the concubines present couldn't help but agree with her.
After all, no one wants a concubine of lower rank than themselves to act arrogantly by relying on their high birth.
"Then tell me, what exactly do you want to do by coming before me today?"
Ruyi was troubled by her words. Seeing Shufei also echoing her, she felt very powerless in an instant. She simply looked at Ruiji and opened up completely.
Having said that, Rui Ji stood up and replied to Ruyi with a serious face: "In my opinion, the Empress should strictly enforce the law and completely quell this unhealthy trend!"
"But the Emperor has already issued an order for punishment, so I can't be too harsh."
"No, I don't want to punish you two. After all, the Emperor has already punished you. I just want to make things clear in front of the Empress. Now that you have entered the palace, you are the Emperor's concubines. Everything should be based on the Emperor. You can no longer think about the past of your mother's family. What I want is to thoroughly rectify this unhealthy trend of relying on your mother's family, to rectify the laws and regulations of the six palaces, and to restore the distinction between high and low in the harem."
Ruiji spoke sincerely and openly told Ruyi her purpose for today.
Ruyi is a very hypocritical person.
If they were playing dirty, there might be an excuse to punish her, but now that she came openly, even if Ruyi had her own thoughts, she couldn't cover up for them, and there was no reason to hold on to her own mistakes.
As long as the words were sounded more reasonable, she had no way of refusing.
The couple are equally cowardly, no wonder they can sleep in the same bed.
Hearing this, Ruyi sighed, remained silent for a few moments, and then spoke softly.
"Since you are so dissatisfied, I will issue an order to purge the six palaces. Such behavior will never happen again. If any concubines spread any disrespectful words in private in the future, and dare to rebel against their superiors by relying on their noble birth, I will punish them severely."
Ruyi has never been afraid of anyone in the palace, except Bai Ruiji, who is so arrogant and reckless. But Ruyi can't do anything to her and can only do what she says.
"Your Majesty is wise. I will keep your teachings in mind." Seeing that her goal was achieved, Rui Ji quickly changed her expression and saluted with a smile.
With her taking the lead, all the concubines present stood up and saluted to show their attitude.
"I will remember the Queen's teachings."
At this point, Ruyi was also a little tired. She nodded and said, "I am a little tired. Let's stop here for today's greetings." After that, she went to the inner hall with the support of Rong Pei.
"Your Highness the Queen is sent off respectfully."
As soon as they left Yiku Palace, Ruiji and Yihuan were about to go to Yongshou Palace. Ruiji had sharp eyes and saw the figures of the four people in front of her at a glance.
It was Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke who agreed. They walked in front with a personal maid, and they walked hurriedly as if there was an evil ghost chasing them.
Yes, after being humiliated in public, it is natural that he can't wait to escape as soon as the scene is over. Otherwise, would he stay and wait for others to take action?
It’s a pity that Ruiji won’t let them go so easily.
"stop!"
Ke Da Ying was comforting the crying and red-faced Concubine Ying, when a sudden shout from behind made her spine stiffen and her whole body felt cold.
She was originally glad that Concubine Ling had let them go, but now it seems that it was too early to be happy.
"Greetings to Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu." The two of them paid their respects with a nervous look on their faces.
"You two are in such a hurry, where are you going?" Ruiji's voice was so sinister that it made people shudder and the hairs on their bodies stand up.
"Your Majesty, we are about to return to the palace. Concubine Ying is not feeling well, and I want to accompany her, so I will take my leave first. Your Majesties, please do as you please." After saying that, Concubine Ke took Concubine Ying's hand and turned to leave.
This is a tough guy. If I don't find a chance to run away, I'm afraid I won't be able to avoid humiliation today.
Rui Ji gave Su Yun a look, and Su Yun immediately understood: "My two masters, please stay. The palace rules are very strict. According to the rules, you two cannot walk in front of the two ladies. This is overstepping your bounds!"
Beads of sweat had already formed on Concubine Ke's forehead. She stammered in apology, "It is my fault. Please forgive me, Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu."
The noble lady Ying beside her also bowed and saluted: "I know I am wrong. I don't know the etiquette. Please leave first, my ladies."
Rui Ji nodded slightly at this and said sarcastically, "That's right. In that case, you should be punished for your mistakes. You've been back for so long and still made such a small mistake. It seems you haven't copied the palace rules enough. I will reward you. Copy the palace rules thirty more times and send them to Yonghe Palace before sunset tomorrow. They say that writing is the best way to calm the mind. It's time for you two to calm down and get rid of the impetuous spirit in your hearts."
Ruiji had a wicked smile on her face as she stared at the two people in front of her.
It's just copying some palace rules to temper her temper. It doesn't hurt her face or body, so it's not a big deal. Even if she reports it to the emperor or the empress, it won't cause any trouble.
Shu Fei is a kind-hearted person. If corporal punishment doesn't work for her, she might as well copy more palace rules and cultivate herself well, which will not be in vain.
If I have to copy these palace rules thirty times tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep all night.
"Thank you for your reward, Your Majesty. I will follow Your Majesty's instructions." But apart from expressing my gratitude, the two had no choice but to accept it.
Seeing that they agreed, Rui Ji ignored them, pulled Yi Huan and went to Yongshou Palace, leaving them with only her arrogant figure.
She felt very happy and came to Yongshou Palace in high spirits.
When they arrived at Yongshou Palace, Yan Wan was lying weakly on the bed. She was so sick and frail that she looked like a willow in the wind, which was very pitiful to see.
"Why are you so seriously ill as soon as you come back? Have you called the imperial physician?" It was the first time that Yihuan saw her look so haggard, and he was concerned from the bottom of his heart.
"It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night and caught a cold. I have a high fever. The doctor said that if I take the medicine well, I will be cured in a few days."
Mentioning last night, Yan Wan coughed uncomfortably. Her cheeks began to heat up unconsciously as she thought of Meng Lang's behavior last night.
Seeing this, Chun Chan was dissatisfied. "It's all the Empress's fault. My master is known to be submissive in the palace, but she just had to find fault with him, asking him to ask the Emperor for mercy for Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke. She always said harsh things. Otherwise, my master wouldn't have been so depressed and unable to sleep, and then caught a cold..."
"Chunchan, shut up. This is so rude. What right do you have to comment on the Empress's love? Go to the small kitchen and make some freshly brewed autumn pear and jujube tea for the two Empresses to try." When she had almost finished speaking, Yanwan pretended to be angry and stopped her.
"Yes."
Chunchan embarrassedly retracted her indignant expression and went downstairs to prepare with a look of grievance.
