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

It was the eve of the Chinese New Year. Recently, Langya had been focusing on the Seventh Prince, and most of the trivial matters in the palace were handled by Ruyi. Hongli was concerned about her hard work, so he ordered someone to prepare a table of her favorite food as a reward.

The two were being affectionate and expressing their feelings to each other.

Ruyi had not forgotten the Queen Mother's instructions, and she also wanted to take advantage of the Emperor's visit to persuade her. The chances of success would be slightly higher.

However, Ruyi never worried that Hongli would offend her. After all, many things in the past proved that Hongli would most likely adopt her suggestions.

Even for the remaining one or two possibilities, Hongli had to carefully weigh the pros and cons before acting according to her suggestions.

Ruyi was confident and had the style of a female Zhuge Liang. Also, as smart as she was, she had already seen through everything. It was common for Hongli to worry about state affairs and be too tired to understand her suggestions.

This kind of self-confidence filled Ruyi's heart, but she had always disdained fame and had never taken the initiative to mention it to anyone.

There are very few people in this world who are as smart and noble as her.

Ruyi raised her elegant orchid finger. The dark blue patterned armor had a perfect curve, matching the light blue palace dress on her body, highlighting her elegance.

Hongli had been wearing a blue-purple robe recently. The two of them had meals and sat together, as if they were a real couple.

Ruyi's eyes lingered on Hongli's robe and cheeks. She raised two white onion-like fingers along with the armor on them, and elegantly picked up a piece of food and put it into her mouth.

She was happy that Hongli came specially to accompany her. After all, the relationship between them since childhood was different, and she had a special place in Hongli's heart.

Thinking of this, Ruyi became more confident about what to say next.

Yan Wan was entering from the main gate of Yiku Palace. She knew that the emperor would be having dinner with Concubine Xian today, so she came to flatter him.

She didn't intend to flatter Ruyi sincerely, but just wanted others to think that she and Ruyi were in the same group. If she used her properly, when the emperor cared about Ruyi, Yanwan would show some sympathy to him.

She wanted pampering and status, all for the purpose of holding on to her daughter and not letting others take her away, so everything was worth it.

After entering the gate of Yikun Palace, Ling Yunche was guarding the door of the main hall of Yikun Palace, just like in the previous life.

Yanwan was wearing a light green dress and the purple robe given by Jinzhong. In fact, if she wanted to look better, Yanwan should have chosen a different robe.

But thinking that Jinzhong was also waiting at the door, he would definitely be able to see her, and wearing the things he gave her would make him feel more at ease.

Lan Cui followed Yan Wan carrying a lunch box, and the two of them walked and talked.

When he was at the door of the main hall, Ling Yunche saw Yan Wan. Lan Cui was trying to make Yan Wan laugh. The smile on Yan Wan's face had not yet faded. When she looked up, she saw Ling Yunche's ashen face.

Yan Wan had never seen him like this before. His beard was unevenly shaved, and some longer hairs were probably missed. His face was grey, with dark circles under his eyes and sunken cheekbones. He looked shabby.

Yanwan was really shocked and her steps were a little unsteady. Lancui was afraid that she would fall, so she hurried to support her.

Ling Yunche stared at Yan Wan's face greedily, with a hint of surprise and sadness on it.

Ling Yunche was shocked. He knew how ugly he looked now. Yan Wan must be heartbroken.

For a moment he hurriedly looked away, not wanting Yan Wan to continue to feel sad for him, nor did he want Yan Wan to see him like this.

But he was reluctant to turn away completely, and looked back at her infatuatedly. Ever since Yan Wan became the emperor's concubine and they met in the corridor, he hadn't seen her for a long time.

Before, when he could meet her whenever he wanted, he didn't think that meeting her was so precious. But now that Yan Wan is the emperor's concubine, she is no longer someone he can meet casually.

Ling Yunche's heart was filled with pain. He blamed himself for being so negligent and why he didn't know Yan Wan's difficulties, and now he has become like this.

Two people who have loved each other for a long time are no longer able to express their true feelings to each other due to external obstacles.

Ling Yunche looked at Yan Wan and felt his eyes sore again. He pursed his lips tightly, trying to make himself look less embarrassed and not cry.

Yan Wan's face was filled with sadness and determination. She looked at Ling Yunche seriously, then walked over quickly with Lan Cui.

When the two people passed each other, a drop of warm water splashed on the back of Ling Yunche's hand. He turned back quickly, but there was only Yan Wan's departing back and the lingering floral scent on her body.

Are they tears? Ling Yunche raised his hand and tasted it with the tip of his tongue. It tasted salty. It was tears.

Ling Yunche stared at the water mark on the back of his hand in a daze, only to see it growing bigger and bigger and flowing down the back of his hand.

It was his tears that burst out from his eyes and merged with Yanwan's tears.

All he could do now was to let the two people's tears stick together and merge.

Yanwan put away the small porcelain bottle in her hand and put it in her bosom. The bottle contained two drops of salt water. This was a move she and Jinzhong intended to make Ling Yunche mistakenly believe that she still loved him, so as to severely hurt Ruyi.

Jinzhong specially formulated it, the quantity is just right, you hold it in your hands to heat it all the way, and when you shake it out it looks like tears.

Jinzhong bowed respectfully to Yanwan, but there was no smile on his face. He was a little annoyed, but he didn't know what he was annoyed about.

He also agreed to this plan, but when he really saw Yan Wan looking at Ling Yunche, he was already furious.

So he rejected Yan Wan's initial proposal, saying that seeing Ling Yunche cry would surely make him never forget her.

Yan Wan only glanced at Ling Yunche, and Jinzhong felt so burned with vicious fire in his heart that he couldn't bear it. If Yan Wan's tears were also given to Ling Yunche, he would be completely intolerable and would make this annoying thing disappear immediately.

So the two of them finally agreed to prepare something similar to tears and drop it on Ling Yunche to make him misunderstand.

Ling Yunche secretly licked the water stains on the back of his hand, which made him even more nauseous. Such a dark and ugly thing was worthy of being looked at by Yan Wan?

But he felt some secret pleasure because the bottle contained Jinzhong's own tears.

He also saw Yan Wan holding the small porcelain bottle in her hand and putting it in her arms. When he thought of his tears pressed against Yan Wan's body temperature, he felt that his jealousy that had no outlet was calmed down a little.

As for the fact that Ling Yunche cherished his tears so much that he licked them and soaked them with a handkerchief, apparently intending to keep them as treasures, he just thought it was ridiculous.

When Yan Wan was suffering, he didn't think she was precious and ran to Concubine Xian every day. Now that Yan Wan has finally stopped being bullied, he is rushing to help her and pretends to be affectionate.

Jinzhong really didn’t understand, did Ling Yunche love Yanwan or the emperor’s concubine?

Jinzhong didn't even raise his eyes, just staring at the tip of Yanwan's shoes, "I am here to pay my respects to Wei Da Ying. The emperor is having dinner inside. Please allow me to pass on the message."
