Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

After Ruyi made up her mind, she took her leave from the Empress Dowager and planned to do her part for the Empress Dowager.

Walking on the blue bricks outside the Cining Palace,惢心 noticed that Ruyi's face did not show the joy of being appreciated by the empress dowager. Instead, she looked neither surprised nor happy. If others thought so at this moment, they would be happy that the empress dowager regarded her as someone she could talk to.

"My dear, why do you look unhappy? The Queen Mother seems to appreciate me." Suo Xin was happy for Concubine Xian from the bottom of her heart. The Queen Mother's attitude towards my dear had always been bad since she was in the palace. Now, after the incident of blocking the assassin in the cold palace, the Queen Mother had become even nicer to me.

Ruyi sighed softly, her plump and tender lips opening and closing as she spoke, "惢心, you don't know, this is a difficult task."

"There are so many trivial matters in the harem. I am exhausted just by assisting the six palaces and helping the Queen. The Queen has to consider the overall situation and take care of the frail Seventh Prince. It is possible that she may make some mistakes." Ruyi explained lightly.

"If I give this advice to the Queen, she will definitely be unhappy and will probably think that I have overstepped the boundaries." Ruyi stared at the bluestone bricks under her feet, still thinking about how to comfort her.

When Suo Xin heard that there was something behind this job, she also started to worry about Ruyi, "Master, do we still need to go to Changchun Palace?"

Ruyi raised her chin, a smile appeared on her face, and she comforted惢心 in return, "Of course I will go."

"The Emperor's mother is my mother. To be filial, I must make the Empress Dowager happy." Ruyi looked in the direction of Changchun Palace, "Let's go."

Ruyi has already made up her mind to be the bad guy. Langya loves her son so much that she cannot see the situation clearly. She doesn't know the rumors in the palace now. If she knew, she would naturally understand her painstaking efforts.

However, the situation in Changchun Palace was different from what Ruyi had expected. Langya's attitude was now extremely tough. No one other than those from Changchun Palace was allowed to enter. Even she, the Imperial Concubine Xian who was in charge of the six palaces, was not allowed to enter.

Su Lian stood at the threshold and bowed respectfully to Ruyi, "Empress Xian, our queen does not allow outsiders to enter Changchun Palace, so if you have anything to say, please tell me, and I will report it to the queen."

惢心 frowned slightly and looked at Ruyi with heartache. She felt that Su Lian was becoming more and more ignorant for speaking to the Empress like this.

Ruyi's expression did not show, she just stood there with her chin up. Her brown clothes reflected a light golden pattern in the sunlight, and it was filled with chrysanthemums embroidered with gold thread.

The sun was warm at this moment. Ruyi stood upright at the gate of Changchun Palace, with the graceful figure of a chrysanthemum floating on her body. A gust of wind blew from afar, and everyone seemed to see a noble chrysanthemum standing proudly in the wind.

"I have nothing to do. I just want to pay my respects to Her Majesty. Her Majesty is not in a position to meet people today, so I will come again tomorrow." Ruyi just left these words lightly and left Su Lian with her back.

Su Lian hurriedly urged the guards and eunuchs beside him to cheer up, "What are you still standing there for? Close the door."

The door was shut with a bang.

Concubine Xian and her servant were walking in the corridor inside the palace. Ruyi seemed to sense that惢心 was still doubtful. She glanced at her and saw惢心 frowning at her. "The Queen is determined not to let anyone in. Su Lian is blocking the entrance to the palace. It is not easy for me to force my way in and offend the Queen."

"But how should we respond to the Queen Mother's orders?" Suo Xin carefully supported Concubine Xian, watching out for any moss or pebbles under her feet.

"It doesn't matter. Since the Queen doesn't want to see anyone, I will go and persuade the Emperor." Ruyi looked calm and confident.

Suo Xin smiled from the bottom of her heart, admiring Ruyi's quick thinking, "My lady is smart."

Ruyi smiled faintly and didn't take it seriously.

* Yongshou Palace

Yan Wan lay on her side on the beauty couch. The smallpox epidemic had been raging recently and the emperor was anxious, so naturally he didn't see her much. She was also not in the mood to flatter Concubine Xian, even though that would allow her to see the emperor more often.

There is no rush to get the dragon fetus for the time being. Yan Wan is thinking, if they are not pregnant at the same time, will the child born be the same as before?

Although her daughter was poorly brought up by the Mongolian concubine, Yan Wan believed that the child's heart was pure and reflected the image of the person who taught her.

So Yan Wan planned to wait until the same time to get pregnant. But should she drink Shupin's pregnancy medicine now? Otherwise, she didn't have any contraceptive prescriptions.

This prescription had been looked at by a doctor outside the palace before, and Yan Wan knew that it had no harm to the human body.

However, the most important point is that this was the medicine that the emperor gave to Shupin specially, so she asked Chunchan to take it to the imperial physician to prepare it for her to drink. However, the people in the imperial hospital had no reaction, presumably they already knew that there was something wrong with Shupin's pregnancy medicine.

Qi Ru, who is now the most skilled doctor, is the emperor's man, so the imperial physician Chunchan found should be someone controlled by Qi Ru. Then the emperor must also know that she drank Shupin's pregnancy-maintaining medicine.

Yan Wan was a little confused. She hadn't figured out what to do yet. At this time, Chun Chan came over quietly, "Master, Eunuch Jin Zhong is here."

Yan Wan nodded, and Chun Chan, Lan Cui and Wang Chan all withdrew. There were only three palace servants who were close to her, and the rest were there to clean and do chores. Yan Wan had no intention of using them as her confidants, so she asked them to leave.

When Jinzhong stepped into the gate of Yongshou Palace, he saw Yanwan in a rose-red dress, which matched her bright-colored lip balm, making people feel that spring flowers were blooming here.

Jinzhong couldn't take his eyes off Yanwan when he saw her dressed up. Seeing the expression on her face, Yanwan looked thoughtful. Jinzhong came over and asked, "Master, what are you worried about?"

Jinzhong half-knelt beside Yanwan's legs, with his head raised to look at Yanwan's face, his hands on the couch. This was one of the rare times he followed the rules. He just tilted his head and looked at Yanwan, eyes eager, like a big dog waiting for his owner to pet him.

Yanwan supported her chin with one hand and raised the other hand to reach towards Jinzhong's face. The closer she got, the redder Jinzhong's ears became.

Yanwan gently stroked Jinzhong's earlobe. This cool and delicate hand followed the curve of Jinzhong's jawbone to his neck, then passed over his Adam's apple, to his chin, and then to his lips.

Yanwan enjoyed the game very much, but Jinzhong felt like his head was about to spit fire as he was completely immersed in this gentle dream.

"Jinzhong, I got Shupin's pregnancy-maintaining medicine, and I'm still thinking about whether to use it. Because I'm worried that if things don't happen as they did in the past, the process may change a lot." Then the future they knew might not happen.

While Jinzhong was thinking, he pinched the hand that was making trouble on his face. Yanwan's attraction to him was so great that he really couldn't keep a clear head in this situation.

"I think it should be taken first." Jinzhong thought for a while and gave this answer.
