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

The emperor saw that she was not in good spirits, thinking that she was tired from worrying too much, so he sighed and said, "Concubine Yu, you should get up first."

Then he asked again, "What did the imperial physician say?"

Jiang Yubin was waiting nearby and immediately reported back, "Fifth Prince caught a cold, so he has a high fever."

"Caught a cold? It's already the end of July and ice is needed in the palace to dispel the heat. How could Yongqi catch a cold?" The emperor frowned, and a deep mark appeared between his eyebrows. He was angry.

The Queen then asked, "Where are Yongqi's wet nurses?"

Then a few older maids came in, and the emperor glanced at them angrily. The queen asked, "How do you take care of the fifth prince?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please forgive us. It was our negligence." The maids knelt on the ground and said.

Yongqi was awakened by the sound of talking. He slowly opened his eyes and said, "Father, don't blame the maids. It's not their fault." The child's voice was weak due to the fever, which softened the emperor's heart.

The emperor quickly held Yongqi's hand and said, "Okay, I don't blame them."

Yongqi smiled weakly, and then whispered, "Empress Xian."

Ruyi hurriedly took a few steps forward and placed her hand on the thin quilt that Yongqi was covering himself with, with a loving look on her face. The only flaw was that her gold-inlaid armor had caught a small thread on the silk of the quilt.

This is because I put my hand on the quilt in a hurry and accidentally scratched it.

However, the emperor did not care about these details. He watched Ruyi coax Yongqi patiently and said gently, "Yongqi, be good. Empress Xian is here."

He noticed the dark circles under Ruyi's eyes, and thought that she must be tired from taking care of the sick Yongqi last night.

The emperor sighed, "Ruyi, you have worked so hard."

Ruyi immediately looked at him gently, "Your Majesty, I feel sorry for Yongqi, and this is what I should do. It's okay." She smiled considerately, but she couldn't hide her haggardness.

The emperor held her hand and felt that he had not cared about her for some time. His hand had become thinner. He said, "This hand has become thinner, and you still say it's okay."

The Queen smiled slightly, knowing full well that Ruyi was trying to win the Emperor's favor, but what could she do since the Emperor was partial to her? She still praised, "Sister Noble Concubine Xian is really virtuous. No wonder Yongqi was thinking of you as soon as he woke up."

Ruyi still had a smile on her face, but Hailan's face froze. She stood aside, looking at the Queen's pretended greeting with her lifeless eyes, feeling a little nervous.

When Yongqi woke up, he didn't call for her as his birth mother, but called for Empress Xian instead. It was indeed a bit strange. But it was enough to prove how well her sister treated Yongqi and how close their relationship was. Whether this was true or not, it all depended on what the emperor thought.

The emperor gently stroked Yongqi's little face and said, "Noble Concubine Xian loves Yongqi, so Yongqi naturally misses her too."

This is faith.

Since the emperor has already made the final decision and set the tone that Concubine Xian is pure and kind, Langya has no interest in making any speculations, lest the emperor think that she is targeting Concubine Xian and annoy her again.

It was getting late, so the Queen sat for a while and then left. She was worried that if he stayed in this room for too long, he would become sick and her Seventh Prince would get sick too. That would be a loss.

The emperor remembered Ruyi's kindness and stayed in Yikun Palace today. Hailan stayed in a side hall with Yongqi, and she had to take care of Yongqi who had a high fever.

* Yongshou Palace

Jiang Yebin withdrew his hand from feeling Yanwan's pulse. He had changed his shift as the imperial physician today. He carefully took down the silk cloth that was between them and put it away, then closed the medicine box.

"Fifth Prince has eaten a lot of cold things?" Yan Wan withdrew her hand, placed her hands on her legs, and asked.

"In my humble opinion, this is the case. There is still damage from the cinnabar in the Fifth Prince's body, which makes him feel slightly hot. This is not a big deal, but this false heat will make people crave coolness." Jiang Yubin said.

"The princes are being looked after by the nanny, who is very careful with their diet and daily life. She would certainly not allow the princes to eat too many cold foods and be exposed to cold wind in the middle of the night. That's why the cold invaded their bodies. I'm afraid..." Jiang Yubin stopped talking, not criticizing his master.

Yan Wan smiled softly, "Concubine Yu is really willing to do it, but she is also really cruel." Then she turned her eyes to Jiang Yubin and said, "I know, please keep this matter to yourself for now, and tell the emperor when the time is right."

"Yes, Master Ling." Jiang Yubin responded.

Chunchan held a small fan in her hand, fanning Yanwan with cool air, and watched her talking to Jiang Yubin with a smile. In a trance, she looked slightly kind and a little proud.

"Go ahead. Suoxin must miss you." Yanwan said with curved eyes.

This sentence made Jiang Yubin's face turn red, and Chunchan couldn't help laughing. He nodded quickly, bowed and went out.

"Master, why don't you just tell the emperor that Concubine Yu is using the Fifth Prince to win favor for Concubine Xian." Lan Cui came over with a plate of grapes and carefully placed it on the table next to Yan Wan.

"No rush. If I tell you now, it will only make the emperor a little unhappy. Besides, if the emperor protects Concubine Xian, he will only think that she is innocent, and Concubine Yu will not be punished. She will always have an explanation." Yan Wan picked up a grape and patiently peeled off the skin with her hands.

Putting it in her mouth, Yan Wan chewed it twice, but suddenly stopped and said, "If you bring it up again when Concubine Yu makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely punish her severely if it accumulates."

Yan Wan swallowed the grape in her mouth, picked up another one and peeled it carefully, her smile became even happier, she handed it to Chun Chan and said softly, "Chun Chan, come here."

Chunchan looked a little embarrassed. She glanced at Lan Cui who was pouting and sulking, then proudly opened her mouth and took it.

Lan Cui said dissatisfiedly, "Master, I want one too!"

But when Chunchan put it in her mouth, she felt the sourness and bitterness. Seeing Master Ling's smirking expression, she pretended to be fine and swallowed it, praising him, "Thank you, Master. These grapes are really sweet."

When Lan Cui heard this, she became even more upset. She twisted her body and hummed, repeating, "I want it too, I want it too, I want it too. I want it too."

Yanwan didn't stop working, she quickly peeled another one and handed it to Lancui who was standing beside her.

Lan Cui chuckled, looked at Chun Chan proudly, and took it with her mouth. Then her face wrinkled and she said, "It's so sour!"

Several people burst into laughter instantly.

At this time, another voice was heard outside, "Master Ling, I want it too." Then Jinzhong, holding a small brocade box, stepped over the threshold and came in.

Lan Cui pulled Chunchan and ran out.

Lan Cui walked to the door and saw Jin Zhong had his back to her, so she leaned over and made faces at Yan Wan. She was so jealous!
