Bai Ruiji in Ruyi's Romance in the Palace was originally a pipa player in Fu Nan. One day, because she entered the palace to play the lute for Emperor Qianlong, in order to attract the attention of Emperor Qianlong, she deliberately played a few wrong notes, "The tune is wrong, Zhou Lang cares", and the romantic Qianlong was really attracted by Bai Ruiji.
From then on, every time she was called to the palace to play, Brigitte made eyes at Gan Long again and again. In the long run, the emperor favored her and became a promise of Gan Long. Bai Ruiji was the first newcomer favored by Qianlong after Yongzheng's death, so her existence also caused dissatisfaction among the concubines in the harem.
In the play, Mei promised Brigitte that although she was born in a slight cold, her heart was higher than the sky and she was eloquent. Because the emperor loves himself, he doesn't care about other concubines in the harem. Even dare to openly contradict the imperial concubine, mocking her old age and infirmity, getting angry when she is slapped by the imperial concubine, and have no concept of inferiority at all.

Bai Guiren:
There is a "noble in white" in Qianlong harem. To be honest, this white aristocrat is also a great figure! According to historical records, Bai Guiren's age is unknown, except that she is Bai, and one of her sisters also married, that is, Yi 'an. In another Qing Dynasty costume drama, Biography of Yan Xi Palace, Ai Yi was killed by Gao Guifei.
Bai Guiren was named Bai Changchang in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, which shows that she entered the palace very early and was a favorite princess in the early days of Qianlong. It's just that Bai Guiren has not been favored for a long time, and he has not been promoted since he was named a frequent visitor for 46 years. It was not until the fifty-ninth year of Qianlong that Qianlong suddenly remembered that there was a white nobleman in the harem who had no children.
He pitied the girl for being a frequent visitor for so long, so he generously promoted her to a white aristocrat. Bai Guiren has been with Ganlong since his early years. Even if his position is not high, he will never have less opportunities to meet the emperor. Bai Guiren can spend decades safely under the harem struggle, which many people don't have.
Because of this, even if she has no children, she can live a long and happy life, longer than Qianlong. Jiaqing honored her as a white lady and didn't die until Jiaqing was eight years old. After her death, she was buried in Yuling Princess Garden in Dongling, Qing Dynasty.
