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

Li Yu had no choice but to bow his head and answer, step forward to answer, and reveal his scars. Because Jiapin also looked over curiously, he couldn't get rid of it today.

"It was because I was clumsy that the emperor disliked me." Li Yu explained awkwardly.

Yongcheng's tone suddenly changed. He put his face on Jin Yuyan's sleeve and said with some loneliness, "Why is Eunuch Li so clumsy? When he took me away from my mother, wasn't his action neat and tidy?"

Li Yu didn't say anything else. It was useless to argue. He knelt down and said to Concubine Jia and the Fourth Prince beside him, "I was just following orders at the time. Please forgive me, Concubine Jia and the Fourth Prince."

Yongsheng didn't say anything, and Ruyi didn't speak for him either.

Li Yu was surrounded by two groups of people. He felt that everyone was looking at him, paying attention to him, and letting him perform a one-man show.

"Since you feel you are wrong, I should punish you. You should kneel here for an hour. This will help me to relieve my longing for my child." Jin Yuyan smiled and said slowly, then turned to look at Ruyi.

"Oh, Lady Noble Concubine Xian, how could I have forgotten that you were still here?"

"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Xian, you won't blame me for punishing Li Yu without consulting you, right?" Then, without waiting for Ruyi to speak, Concubine Jia shook her head and said, "Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Xian doesn't have a child either, so she naturally can't understand the pain of separation between me and my child, so Li Yu should be punished."

Ruyi looked at the pebbles on the ground, not knowing what she was thinking. Her face was as calm as water, and she only said, "If Li Yu is wrong, then he should be punished. Even if Jiapin doesn't punish him, I will punish him."

Then she pouted her cherry lips slightly and continued, "It's just that the emperor issued an order at that time not to allow Jiapin to take care of the Fourth and Eighth Princes. Li Yu was just a messenger. Is Jiapin's action a sign of dissatisfaction with the emperor's order?"

Jin Yuyan said with a smile, "How could that be? The emperor must have his reasons for doing this. But I just mentioned it, and Eunuch Li knelt down spontaneously. He must be feeling guilty."

"I think Li Yu is also feeling bad." Jiapin looked at Ruyi coldly, "In that case, Concubine Xian should allow him to do this to ease his anxiety."

"Empress Xian is so kind, she will definitely not watch Eunuch Li feel guilty all the time." Yongcheng nodded in agreement with Jin Yuyan's words.

The elegant Concubine Xian was interrupted again. She had nothing to say, so she could only acquiesce in the matter.

Then Yongcheng looked at Concubine Xian's face, then at Li Yu, and then smiled brightly, saying, "The Emperor must like Concubine Xian very much, so he would have rewarded the servant he disliked."

Yongcheng turned his head and looked up at Jin Yuyan, gently tugged at her sleeve, and asked, "Mother, is that right?"

Jin Yuyan couldn't stop smiling. She pretended to be helpless and coaxed the Fourth Prince, "Yes, yes, our Yongsheng is the smartest. Concubine Xian is the most favored person around the emperor."

"I really envy Your Majesty for having such good fortune." Jin Yuyan raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ruyi with a smile.

Although Jiapin's words were somewhat sarcastic, she was not impolite. Rong Pei wanted to teach Concubine Xian a lesson, but she didn't know where to start. She could only wait aside with her eyes open and watch how Concubine Xian responded.

But Ruyi liked the words that she was special the most, and she refused to refuse with words. She knew that this was a clear praise but a hidden criticism, and that it was also a mockery of Li Yu, but she just wanted this short-lived vanity.

So she smiled slightly, nodded to Jin Yuyan, and then stood there quietly.

Jin Yuyan chuckled and said to her son, "Let's go, Yongsheng." Then she took the Fourth Prince away.

They passed by Concubine Xian's procession and returned towards Qixiang Palace.

Before Yongcheng left, he smiled at Li Yu. Anyone who sees such a cute little kid smiling happily at him/her will feel a sense of favor.

But Li Yu only felt a chill on his back and some sweat seeped out. He had lost his status as a servant in front of the emperor, and the Fourth Prince was a prince.

Jiapin had already walked away, but Li Yu was still kneeling here. Ruyi looked at Li Yu kneeling down and said, "Today's incident is a reminder for you, and also for me."

"We all have to remember this humiliation." Ruyi looked at Jin Yuyan's receding back with a distant gaze and a slight disdain. She said,

"Jiapin won't be so proud for long."

Li Yu nodded. They had just walked on a cobblestone path, so he knelt on the cobblestones. It was a hot August day, and sweat had already appeared on his forehead in just a few moments.

Li Yu's lips turned pale, but she still looked at Ruyi and said, "Master Xian, please go back first. It's hot outside. Don't let me cause you trouble again."

Ruyi nodded worriedly and warned, "Then you should be careful."

Then Concubine Xian's procession passed by Li Yu. The last Sanbao looked at Li Yu who lowered his head but still tried to stand straight to maintain a decent and funny appearance. He sneered in his heart and left.

* Chuxiu Palace

It was hot in August, and Yihuan's body temperature was particularly high due to her pregnancy. Most of the ice cubes for Yanwan and Bai Ruiji were sent to Chuxiu Palace. They stayed there often anyway, and the ice was rarely used in the palace.

Suyun, Hexi and Chunchan, each holding a fan, stood in a circle to fan Yihuan. Even so, one could see that Yihuan's face was flushed with heat.

She also fanned herself and said, "I was looking forward to having a child, but now that I have one, it's making me so hot. It's really tiring."

Yan Wan smiled and said, "You are tired already. This is not the baby you have been waiting for. You have to enjoy this sweetness yourself."

Yihuan lowered her head and smiled, "Don't I still have my sister and Yanwan to help me?"

"Okay, so you thought we had two ready-made people." Bai Ruiji tapped the armrest of the chair lightly with the side of the fan and scolded her with a smile.

Yan Wan glanced at Yi Huan and snorted, "If you live forever, won't we have to take care of your child for the rest of your life?"

Bai Ruiji covered her mouth and smiled softly, looking at Yihuan with bright eyes, "Yihuan, don't worry. Even if this is the case, I will take care of you."

"You are the only one who knows how to act cute." Yan Wan rolled her eyes at her.

Yihuan stroked her belly and said with emotion, "I never thought that there would be a day when such a dream would come true. There will be blood of the emperor and I in this world."

"From now on, the emperor and I have an inseparable connection." Yihuan said with an intoxicated look on his face.

The two people opposite each other supported their chins, exhaled, and looked at each other helplessly.

Silently said, look, she's here again.
