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

*Night, corridor

Li Yu was behind Ruyi, and next to him was Lingzhi. Behind him were a few young palace maids in green clothes. Next to them was Sanbao, who was holding a lantern.

Li Yu became the chief eunuch beside Ruyi. Concubine Xian did not explicitly state Sanbao's position or assign him any tasks.

So Sanbao still lived in the same place as before, but the house was divided into half by Li Yu. Everyone in Yikun Palace still remembered the time when he was the chief eunuch, and they all respectfully called him Sanbao Gonggong.

This eased Sanbao's depression a little, but it was of no practical use. He used to serve tea and water and do some rough work beside Concubine Xian.

Now that Li Yu was here, Concubine Xian thought that Li Yu used to serve the emperor, so she treated him especially well and didn't often tell him to do anything.

Therefore, these rough and tedious tasks still fell on Sanbao's shoulders.

Now that Suoxin is married, there is no senior maid in Yikun Palace, so all her original responsibilities fell on Sanbao.

In other words, his salary was reduced, his position was demoted, and he had more things to do, and he had to watch his boss Li Yu enjoying a leisurely life every day.

"I want to take a walk by myself." Ruyi turned slightly and said to the palace maids and eunuchs following behind her.

Everyone responded yes and retreated.

Ling Yunche followed Jinzhong's words and said that the emperor had someone escort Concubine Xian back to Yikun Palace. At this time, he was standing next to Concubine Xian.

Ruyi spoke to everyone in Yikun Palace and did not look at him, so Ling Yunche waited by the side.

After everyone had left, Ruyi turned around, and the pendant on her head, which the emperor had given her, swayed as she turned. In the dim light around her, it was quite charming.

Ruyi's makeup today is extremely beautiful. Her eyebrows are light, outlining a soothing arc, and there is a deep moon on her eyelids, making her eyes look big and bright.

Beautiful and kind, Ruyi smiled at Ling Yunche, her light pink lip balm making her look charming and lovely. In this dim and hazy time, she really looked like an elf in the moonlight.

"Lord Ling, thank you for your escort." Ruyi nodded slightly at him.

"The Yangxin Palace is not far from the Yikun Palace." Ruyi looked into Ling Yunche's eyes and said considerately, "I can go back by myself."

She nodded gently again, her eyelashes swept across the air several times as she blinked, her eyeballs drew an arc, and her pupils turned from Ling Yunche's face to the ground.

Although she was still smiling, Ling Yunche could tell from the loneliness in her look when she lowered her head that this woman in front of him, although respected and wealthy, was not happy and was just pretending to be strong.

"Noble Concubine Xian is in a bad mood." Ling Yunche's face showed a mixture of distress and forbearance. "I am worried about you walking alone."

Ruyi stopped and looked slightly sad, because she had taken off her disguise after being exposed by Ling Yunche.

Ling Yunche didn't look at Ruyi's profile. He looked at the dust on the ground, and with a hint of empathy in his tone, he said, "Let me take you back."

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ling Yunche's cheek sincerely again. Her pink lips opened, revealing eight neat teeth. Her voice was magnetic, making people feel itchy in their hearts.

She said, “Okay.”

Ruyi walked forward. Lingzhi, who was behind her, glanced at Li Yu. Seeing that he had no expression on his face and was still following her respectfully, she also followed with her head down.

Sanbao was behind the two people, not too far away, and followed them with a lantern. He felt lonely in his heart, as if he had been completely rejected by everyone in Yikun Palace, and could only walk alone.

Ruyi let out a long breath, her blue collar opening as she walked, revealing the pink material underneath. She swung her arms to her sides like a nimble bird flapping its wings.

Ling Yunche walked side by side with Ruyi, less than one meter between them. He turned his head to look at Ruyi.

Concubine Xian was shorter than him, and the banner on her head barely reached his eyebrows. From the side, Concubine Xian was also very thin. Recently, she had to worry about many things. After Suo Xin got married, no one was looking after the affairs of Yikun Palace, and Concubine Xian had to worry about everything.

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi's figure and felt very much in awe of her, she was so tired and yet so strong.

"Your humble servant sees that you don't look very happy. Is there anything bothering you, Your Majesty?" Ling Yunche asked.

"I have been with the emperor for twenty years since I became his concubine. I always thought I knew him very well, but that doesn't seem to be the case." Ruyi looked ahead absentmindedly and said with a little melancholy.

"Your Majesty, are you still thinking about Concubine Jia's false accusation against you?" Ling Yunche asked again, wanting to comfort Ruyi.

"Yes and no." Ruyi sighed lightly, and the flag head swayed gently from side to side with her steps. She was like a willow swaying in the breeze, graceful and elegant, with lotus flowers blooming at every step.

"What I want most is the emperor's trust. But now, I always feel that my feelings are not as sincere as when I was young." Ruyi recalled the past between her and the emperor, and thought of the emperor's firm statement that it was all for her good.

Is it really for her own good? Then why is she still unhappy?

After listening to this, Ling Yunche was silent for a long time and was deeply touched.

Ruyi added, "The dignity of this world is not what I want most, but this is the only way to go on."

"What do you want most?" Ling Yunche was asking Ruyi as well as himself.

What do you want most?

Ruyi lowered her head and smiled, her face suddenly showing a hint of shyness. She said a little embarrassedly, "Lord Ling, please don't laugh at me for being silly. What I want most is a devoted person, but my young man, he can never have only me in his heart."

A person of one mind.

Ruyi's shy smile really made Ling Yunche dazed for a moment.

He and Yan Wan were like this before, they only hoped to get married after leaving the palace, so that they could stay together for the rest of their lives.

"Yan Wan, this is the cheapest gemstone ring, but inside it there is a cloud and a swallow. The swallow is you, and the cloud is me. We will be together forever."

"Brother Yun Che, thank you. I will treasure it well."

When he gave away the ruby ​​ring, he thought to himself that although he could not afford any precious jewelry at that time, there would always be a chance in the future.

Wait a little longer, maybe he will not just be a guard in the cold palace. Then I will buy a better-looking ring for Yan Wan.

He is now a royal guard, but his Yan Wan has left him.

Fortunately, she still kept the ring. Ling Yunche felt a little comforted.

"I also think that being together with one heart is the long-cherished wish of all lovers in the world." Ling Yunche had a smile on his face, and when he recalled the past, the long-standing depression in his heart felt a little better.

Ruyi glanced at him, and suddenly her heart felt sweeter, and the sugar slowly flowed down. She smiled slightly, "As long as it's sincere, it's good."

"I only hope that Concubine Xian can be safe and sound. I will always follow you and protect you." Ling Yunche said.
