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

Li Yu returned dejectedly.

Standing opposite Concubine Xian, he could no longer straighten his back in front of his benefactor.

Li Yu was filled with shame and pain, which turned into little insects that gnawed at his heart and tore him apart.

"A villain becomes arrogant when he succeeds. We don't need to bother with him." Ruyi smiled faintly and said with a comforting heart.

Li Yu forced a smile and nodded. Standing there, he felt like he was being hit by huge waves, like a small sailboat drifting in the sea, helpless and alone, barely relying on the sail on the mast to maintain stability.

Concubine Xian is his sail, guiding him in the right direction.

Li Yu's only choice was to stick closely to Concubine Xian. He no longer had any choice.

Li Yu can only count on Concubine Xian. The better she is, the better he will be.

Ruyi's face was slightly glowing. She looked at the flowers on the table, which were inferior to the others. She raised her hand and held them with her fingernails. "This is so small, yet so delicate."

"The more others look down on us, the more we should live our lives well." Ruyi smiled slightly and looked at Li Yu.

Li Yu nodded. The sadness on his face was somewhat relieved by Ruyi's comfort, and his smile became more sincere. "I am stupid and obsessed with appearances. I am not as smart as Master Xian."

The deeper Ruyi's smile became, the larger and rounder her lips formed, with her two curved eyebrows, her round cheeks, and the arc of her neck sliding down from her shoulders.

For a moment, the beauty of the circle was fully reflected on Ruyi's body.

* Yongshou Palace

A young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs brought over a pile of cloth, saying that it was woven with lily flowers, the favorite of Concubine Ling, and also presented a bunch of new varieties cultivated by the servants in the flower room.

The newly brought lilies are placed under the corridor. People walking by can see the delicate and thick petals blooming in the sun, with a faint fragrance.

The fragrance of lilies in the past was pleasant, but it was too strong. There were too many lilies gathered together, and the fragrance was too strong. If you smelled it for a long time, you would feel dizzy.

The fragrance of this batch of newly cultivated lilies is light but long-lasting, and there is an edge of purple dots on the petals, as if some purple dots of varying sizes were sprayed on it. However, this is not artificially done, but grown by the flowers themselves.

As soon as these new and exotic flowers were available, the greenhouse quickly sent them to Yongshou Palace to please Yanwan.

Yan Wan really liked them, so she placed a row of them under the corridor of Yongshou Palace. The pleasant fragrance filled the interior of Yongshou Palace, and even the use of spices was saved.

"My dear, just now someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to deliver something, and a young eunuch mentioned the Yikun Palace. I think this matter deserves attention." Chunchan brought a cup of tea, placed it next to Yanwan, and whispered over.

Yan Wan closed the poetry collection in her hand. This was the "Nalan Poetry Collection" that the Queen had given her before. She heard that the Emperor liked Nalan Xingde, so she read it and learned more from it.

Seeing Yan Wan's eyes rolling around, Chun Chan said at the right time, "The eunuch just now said that since Li Yu was given to Concubine Xian by the Emperor, San Bao is no longer the head eunuch of Yikun Palace."

"I know Concubine Xian's character. She is like this. She will not treat the loyal people around her well. She often treats them harshly and takes advantage of their loyalty. It was Suoxin in the past, and now it's Sanbao." Yanwan didn't look surprised.

"That young eunuch also said that Li Yu has become the most capable eunuch beside Concubine Xian. However, Concubine Xian did not clearly state Sanbao's position. But the servants in Yikun Palace still remember his former position and give him a little face." Chunchan raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued.

"But the Ministry of Internal Affairs is Qin Li's world. And Qin Li really hates Concubine Xian. So when he knew about this, he only gave Sanbao the lowest salary."

Chunchan narrowed her eyes slightly, "Speaking of which, Eunuch Qin Li is also a wonderful person. He has always treated Concubine Xian harshly. It seems that he has been treating her differently since the Emperor ascended the throne."

"Nowadays, his methods have been effective time and time again, so he has become more and more bold in disrespecting Concubine Xian."

Chunchan said with a smile, "Qin Li is helping Concubine Xian to make the day when Concubine Xian is deserted by her friends and relatives and avoided by everyone come sooner."

Yan Wan was in high spirits, her eyes lit up, she chuckled, let out a soft and gentle sound, and said loudly, "Oh~"

"Doesn't Concubine Xian know about this?" Yan Wan said with a smile in her eyes and a hint of sarcasm.

"Noble Concubine Xian is aloof from the world, how could she know about such vulgar things as gold and silver? When Suo Xin got married, she didn't bring any dowry. Instead, she brought some daily necessities such as quilts and copper basins that can be found everywhere outside the palace." Chun Chan laughed softly and agreed.

"Jingse goes to Yiku Palace every now and then to collect things. She takes away all of Concubine Xian's belongings and gives them to the palace maids and nannies around her. I guess no matter how wealthy Concubine Xian is, she can't withstand the long-term consumption." Yanwan said.

"No wonder people now say that the furnishings in Yikun Palace are the most ordinary and there is nothing rare." Chunchan didn't show much expression, but the slight curve of her eyes made her look very happy.

She didn't have any complicated thoughts. She was happy when Master Ling was happy, and she hated people whom Master Ling hated.

"But Concubine Xian only gave a few quilts and copper basins. She is really stingy. Even if she sells a piece of armor, it would be enough for Suo Xin's dowry."

"But it's a good thing. If she wasn't so weird, how could she highlight my good points and win my hearts?" Yan Wan said with a glance.

"I'm afraid Sanbao is feeling very unbalanced." Yanwan leaned on the soft pillow on the couch and handed the book in her hand to Chunchan, who put it on the table beside her.

Yan Wan clicked her tongue twice, "How pitiful! I will give San Bao a chance to vent his frustrations."

"I'm afraid Jiapin must be exhausted from watching Yikun Palace every day. Let's go to Qixiang Palace and tell her." Yanwan found a comfortable position and lay down comfortably.

Chunchan responded, "Yes, Master," and quietly withdrew.

Yanwan supported her head with one hand, her slender fingers covering her black hair. Her earrings swayed gently as she lay down, and then gradually calmed down.

Her thick eyelashes quietly covered her face, leaving a shadow. Her pretty face was relaxed and comfortable as she immersed herself in the leisure time of the afternoon and took a short nap.

*Three days later

After Sanbao finished cleaning the Yiku Palace, he ran into Li Xin, who was beside Jiapin, on his way to throw away the garbage.

Li Xin accidentally spilled the bucket that Sanbao was carrying, so she helped him clean it up and said a few polite words to him.
