PNB Chapter 310 Ruyi (10)
Chapter 310 Ruyi (10)
Fu Cha Langya stood up and walked into the hall, then turned around and looked at the plaque hanging on the wall. On it were written four big characters "Respect and Cultivate Nei Ze" in powerful strokes. That was Hongli's evaluation of her.
When the palace maid helped Wei Yanwan into the hall, what they saw was Fu Cha Langya's straight back.
Fucha Langya heard footsteps behind her, turned around and saw that it was Wei Yanwan, and asked with a smile: "Why are you here at this time? Is your knee better?"
Wei Yanwan bent down and was about to kneel, but Fucha Langya stopped her, "No need to be polite. Your knee is still injured. You don't need to go through the formalities."
Wei Yanwan was deeply moved and felt that the Queen was gentle and kind, not at all like some concubines who did not treat servants like them as human beings.
"Thank you for your consideration, ma'am."
After Fucha Langya sat down, she asked Wei Yanwan to sit down and asked, "Yanwan, although the emperor has not mentioned this to me, I can see that the emperor cares about you and likes you very much. Do you want to stay in the palace to serve the emperor in the future?"
Wei Yanwan was stunned and was about to kneel down and apologize, holding onto the table beside her.
"Don't be afraid." Fucha Langya asked the palace servants around her to help Wei Yanwan sit up. "I am not testing you. There are no outsiders here. Just tell me whether you want to stay in the Forbidden City and serve the emperor in the future?"
Wei Yanwan looked at Fu Cha Langya in a daze. She was not sure whether the other party was testing her by saying this.
"My lady, I..."
Wei Yanwan's lips moved, but she didn't say no for a moment.
Before this, she had never dreamed of becoming the emperor's concubine.
With her family background, she felt that she was not qualified to be a concubine. But then she thought that it was not right. After all, Chunpin, who was of pure Han descent, not only became a concubine in the harem, but also gave birth to the third prince.
After becoming a concubine, she is no longer a talent but a proper master. In this way, she will not be bullied or beaten or scolded at will in the palace.
Moreover, when she left the palace, she was already 25 years old and had become an old maid. Even her family could only marry her as a second wife.
Since they are all serving men, why doesn't she serve the one with the greatest power and status and fight for a good future for herself?
Besides, what she wanted was never true love, but a noble status. As long as she became the emperor's woman, no one would look down on her anymore.
After realizing her true thoughts, Wei Yanwan raised her head and replied resolutely: "Your Majesty, Xu Bi wants to stay in the palace."
Fu Cha Langya was not surprised by Wei Yanwan's answer. She felt that for the women in the palace, accompanying the king was indeed the best choice.
"Okay, I will report to the emperor later. You don't have to do those cleaning tasks anymore. You are still young, so stay with me and learn the rules for a few years."
Wei Yanwan held down her heart which was pounding due to excessive nervousness, tried hard to control her excitement, and thanked Fu Cha Langya.
After being released from the cold palace, Lu Changqing naturally had to thank Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty for his great grace.
In the plot, "Ruyi" saw Emperor Gaozong of Qing coming to visit her in the Yanx Palace, and she was so moved that her eyes filled with tears. She thought that the emperor loved her the most among all the people in the palace.
Now that Lu Changqing is here, she really can't do that in front of Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty. She might as well learn from Hai Lan and act like an expressionless robot.
Seeing that Lu Changqing had been imprisoned for several months and no longer said those crazy things that gave him goose bumps, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty nodded with satisfaction, chatted with her casually for a few words, asked her to take good care of herself, and left in a hurry.
Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty is now busy with the maritime ban and preparing for a war with Japan in the east. He has no time for such romantic matters.
Due to the two troublemakers in the harem, the harem has been eerily calm in recent days. Even every time I go to the Queen's Palace to pay my respects, the harmony is much more harmonious when everyone sits together eating melon seeds and gossiping.
If Lu Changqing had known better, there would not have been the incident of him wearing the Yaohuang peony to provoke the masters of the six palaces. Naturally, there would not have been the plot in the fan fiction where "Ruyi" did not distinguish between superiors and subordinates and did not abide by her duties and asked others to slap her in the face.
This fan fiction story was jokingly called "defeating magic with magic."
On the one hand, the creator felt that "Ruyi" deserved to die because she used her patriarchal power to carry out feudal oppression and suppress the women in the palace, but on the other hand, she felt that "Ruyi", who had committed so many evil things, deserved such punishment.
Fu Cha and Lang Ya are kind, and Ru Yi is evil. In this way, the evil means of feudal oppression seems to be just and reasonable because the oppressed are evil.
In fact, it is not just this plot. Throughout the whole text, "Ruyi" is treated the same as other female supporting roles in the play. They all use the imperial power and the husband's power to harm each other, and no one is nobler than the other.
Perhaps the only difference is that the supporting actresses in the drama are forced to be criticized by the plot, while the fan fiction "Ruyi" "actively" seeks to be criticized, or Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty stands up and does it himself.
Lu Changqing didn't understand why some people thought that as long as the person holding power was kind or wise, then even if she punished others with less just means, her behavior would become just.
For example, Emperor Gaozong of Qing was deliberately created as a perfect man, because he was perfect enough. Although he was a man, he cared more about women than "Ruyi", and he was also the emperor. Therefore, when he oppressed "Ruyi" with his imperial power and husband power, this persecution became just and reasonable.
For this reason, it is politically correct to criticize "Ruyi" for being an accomplice to the evildoer, but when it comes to Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty's turn to use imperial power to oppress others, people pretend not to see it.
The question is that the emperor holds supreme power and has the power of life and death over all people in the world, so the trial mechanism for "Ruyi" is in line with the etiquette and laws of feudal society, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Empress Xian, is there something good? Why are you smiling so happily?"
Lu Changqing, who was daydreaming, heard someone calling him. He came back to his senses, put away the mocking look on his face, and raised his eyes to see that all the women in the hall were looking at him.
Lu Changqing looked at Bai Ruiji who was speaking and said indifferently, "It's nothing. I just felt happy when I thought about the orchids that were transplanted to the Yanxi Palace a few days ago and they are growing well."
Bai Ruiji lowered her eyes and secretly rolled her eyes, sneering disdainfully: "Doesn't Empress Xian only love green plums? Why are you planting orchids now?"
Although she knew it was caused by the plot, Bai Ruiji, who had been sincerely moved by the Queen, had a natural hostility towards her, but she would not tolerate the other party if she was eager to pick a fight with her.
"What Meipin said is very interesting. You like to eat pasta, but you don't eat rice? Green plums or orchids are just for people to appreciate. As long as I am happy, it doesn't seem to bother you to grow chives in the palace, right?"
Bai Ruiji in this article is the same as Hai Lan in the drama, a tool to fight ten against ten, with no self at all. She was written just to oppose "Ruyi" and to help the protagonists with verbal attacks.
Bai Ruiji acted innocent and looked at Lu Changqing with her head tilted, "Sister, I didn't say anything. Is Concubine Xian angry?"
Lu Changqing smiled, "Sister, you didn't say anything, but please don't roll your eyes before you make fun of others next time. This is the imperial palace, and you still have to have proper manners and upbringing. It's okay to embarrass yourself in front of your sisters, but don't embarrass yourself in front of outsiders."
Bai Ruiji choked. In the past, Ruyi was as calm as a chrysanthemum and disdained these verbal disputes. Therefore, she had taken advantage of the other party verbally many times. Why did she become so petty after coming out of the cold palace?
