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

The emperor turned around and saw Ruyi's usual smile. He didn't want to ignore her and make Ruyi feel uncomfortable, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Not bad." The emperor nodded and praised, "It has a fine texture and a fresh fragrance."

"Ruyi, your craftsmanship has improved again." The emperor looked at her with a smile, and the tenderness in his eyes instantly melted Ruyi's heart.

Her cheeks were lightly flushed, "The emperor can still taste it." Her lips curled up slightly, and for a moment her whole body looked much brighter and more energetic.

"In the entire palace, you are the only one who cooks to my liking." said the emperor.

The emperor's favoritism blinded Ruyi's eyes. A spring of honey immediately emerged in her heart, moistening her whole heart and making it sweet.

Ruyi smiled and lowered her head. A small hill rose on her soft cheeks, her chin formed a perfect curve, and there was also a plump bulge between her neck and cheek.

The whole person is like a plump and tender lychee. Although it is wrapped in a shell, the juiciness inside can be seen through the exposed skin.

The emperor picked up another piece and was about to pass it to Yihuan's mouth, but when his hand passed through the air, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Noble Concubine Xian, can a pregnant woman eat this cake?"

Ruyi restrained her smile and said, "I used the recipe from the imperial kitchen, but I slightly reduced some of the ingredients. If this is the cake that Sister Shupin eats on a daily basis, it should be fine."

Yi Huan shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, I often feel nauseous. Doctor Qi told me not to eat anything carelessly. If I eat and then vomit, it would be a waste of Concubine Xian's kindness. Your Majesty, please eat it."

The emperor held Yihuan's hand and said, "Yihuan, you have worked so hard."

"For the emperor and for our children, it's not hard." Yihuan smiled slightly, her eyes full of tenderness.

The two of them were full of tenderness and love.

The emperor helped Yihuan tidy up the wrinkled corners of her clothes and placed the closed book in her hand on the table.

Ruyi leaned over and glanced at the book. Her fair skin was beneath her raised eyebrows. The sunlight shone on her deep eye sockets and smooth forehead, creating a contrast in color. Her smile left a deep shadow and depression at the corner of her lips. She asked with a smile, "What were Sister Shupin and the Emperor reading just now? They were so engrossed."

Yi Huan put her hand on her belly and said, "It's Nalan Rongruo's Drinking Water Collection." A sweet smile appeared on her cheeks again, and she turned her eyes to the emperor, "I knew before I entered the palace that the emperor loved Nalan's poems the most."

The emperor had a big smile on his face. He still held Yihuan's hand, turned his eyes to look at Ruyi, and said, "Nalan Rongruo writes very well. It's so beautiful to read it."

Ruyi forced a broad smile and nodded to show her agreement.

Yi Huan looked at the dark blue book cover and recalled, "My favorite is the sentence, 'Now I know I was wrong, and my heart is sad and confused.'"

Ruyi smiled and commented, "Nalan Rongruo's writing about love is sincere and delicate, and not as exaggerated as flames. You need to read it carefully to appreciate its meaning."

Yihuan looked at the emperor infatuatedly again, and ignored Concubine Xian's words. She was already extremely annoyed with Ruyi. Just now, Concubine Xian relied on her position and seniority to call her sister all the time. She thought that the emperor was still beside her and gave Ruyi some face, so she pretended not to hear it.

But if you want her to flatter Concubine Xian, dream on!

The emperor turned his head and looked at Yihuan again, and said lovingly, "If you like, I have some original works of Nalan Rongruo in my study, and I will give them all to you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yihuan nodded.

Ruyi had only been sitting there for a while, but the two people in front of her had already shown this kind of intimacy several times, as if they didn't know she was there.

Ruyi covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly twice.

The emperor came back to his senses and said to her with concern, "Ruyi, what's wrong with you? Did you catch a cold?"

Ruyi shook her head, and the pendants from her Hehuan Step-Shaking Hairpin swayed gently, "I am fine, just a little choked."

"Maybe the flowers are blooming too beautifully and the air is full of pollen. You should drink some tea to moisten your throat." said the emperor.

Ruyi nodded slightly and took a sip of tea.

The emperor felt a little bit of love and pity for Ruyi when he saw how well-behaved and sensible she was. He had been busy with affairs recently and the children were always sick, so he hadn't visited Ruyi for a long time.

"Ruyi, you've worked hard. Please make some more snacks for me to eat in the evening." The emperor looked at her gently until Ruyi's face turned red with shame.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I am waiting for you." Ruyi smiled slightly and looked at Yihuan beside her with a little pride.

"Your Majesty is in for a treat." Yihuan looked at Ruyi and made a very bold move for her.

She gently pulled the hand that the emperor held with her, pulling the emperor's body slightly to tilt. Then she put her cheek on the emperor's neck, raised the corners of her lips and smiled at Ruyi.

The emperor was afraid of hurting her, so he stroked her chin with his other hand for support and said, "When our child is born, I will ask Concubine Xian to make as much as you want."

Ruyi smiled more meaningfully, almost gritting her teeth, but she still pretended to be generous and decent, "The emperor said that if Sister Shupin likes it, I will have as much as you want to eat."

Yihuan looked up at Ruyi, her face showing innocence and pity, except for a slight curve on her lips, which made Ruyi angry.

Yi Huan said softly, "Thank you, Concubine Xian."

Ruyi was shocked that Yihuan had become a different person. This seductive and alluring look didn't seem like her, but more like Wei Yanwan.

Ridiculous, really ridiculous.

Ruyi stood up and left. Anyway, Shupin couldn't sleep with him now, so she wasn't worried. Besides, she didn't want to see Shupin so delicate now. Which woman wouldn't have hardship when pregnant? Why was she so delicate? She also deliberately ruined the emperor's reputation and repeatedly provoked her.

Seeing Ruyi's hands swinging in the air and walking away on the high horse's hooves, Yihuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Whenever she saw Yan Wan and didn't want to get entangled with Concubine Xian, she would act so weak.

In the past, she didn't know why Yan Wan always had an unusually happy smile on her face as soon as Concubine Xian left.

Only today did she realize that deliberately making people she disliked unhappy was so free and fun.

"But what interesting things did you think of?" the emperor asked, stroking her chin.

"It's nothing. I'm just happy. Happy to be with the emperor." Yihuan leaned against the emperor's clothes, gently closed her eyes, and listened to his heartbeat.
