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

Bai Ruiji laughed and pointed at herself and said, "Me? How is that possible? Unless the emperor is crazy..."

Yan Wan still had that smiling look on her face. Bai Ruiji put down the fan in her hand, looked at Yan Wan seriously, and said, "Really?"

Yan Wan nodded, "The Emperor has already indicated that you should raise the Fifth Prince, but he still needs to ask your opinion. I am just here to tell you in advance. If you want to, then you should think about how to show the Emperor that you are loyal not to the Queen Mother, but to the Emperor."

"If you don't want to, then just refuse." Yan Wan added.

Bai Ruiji stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "How could it be me?"

"What can I teach him? Playing the pipa. The prince's playing the pipa doesn't seem to make him more favored by the emperor. I can also use a whip, but the Fifth Prince also has special masters of horse riding and martial arts. My relationship with Concubine Yu is also ordinary, not good." Bai Ruiji's voice was full of doubt. She paced in front of Yihuan and Yanwan, muttering to herself.

"Will Fifth Prince hate me? What if he thinks I took him away from Concubine Yu?"

"In fact, Yonghe Palace is also quite shabby. Do you think the Fifth Prince will like Yonghe Palace?"

Bai Ruiji was sometimes nervous and sometimes excited.

Finally, she looked at Yihuan and Yanwan expectantly, and asked, "Your Majesty wants this. Does the Fifth Prince know about it? Will the Fifth Prince agree?"

Yanwan and Yihuan smiled at each other. Given how much Bai Ruiji loved her children, she would definitely want to raise Yongqi, but she also had many worries and concerns.

A moment later, Jinzhong came to Chuxiu Palace and said that the emperor had sent Concubine Mei to the Yangxin Palace.

"Go ahead." Yihuan looked at her, nodded, and encouraged her, "You will achieve your wish."

Bai Ruiji nodded, and left with Jinzhong with trepidation.

*The things in the palace could not be covered up. Everyone knew that Concubine Yu had done something wrong that angered the emperor. It seemed that Concubine Yu had bad intentions towards Concubine Xian. The emperor treated her well and spared her life. However, he did not allow her to see Concubine Xian again or talk to her again.

Perhaps because he was afraid that Concubine Xian would be suspicious, the emperor also rewarded惢心, who was already married, as a way of comforting her.

Whether others believe it or not, the rumors in the Forbidden City spread like this. When it reached Rong Pei's ears, she relayed it to Ruyi, who felt that the emperor cared about her and that she was a unique person.

When Jiang Yubin was taking Ruyi's pulse today, Ruyi asked why the emperor suddenly summoned Jiang Yubin.

Jiang Yubi made a bitter face, sighed, and looked at Ruyi and Rong Pei. Ruyi dismissed all the new palace servants in the room.

Jiang Yubin then spoke, "The Emperor said that I have been taking care of your Majesty, and I am not a servant by your side, so I must be speaking the truth."

"The Emperor was extremely angry and asked me if I had any feelings for Lady Yu."

After Jiang Yubi finished speaking, he carefully observed Ruyi's expression, only to see that her perfect and kind face had a crack, and there were some complicated emotions in it, filled with an uncomfortable feeling.

Ruyi was still smiling, as if she didn't take it to heart, but Jiang Yubi always felt that her calmness would be broken if poked. If she was really broken, he would see the festering inside under such a Buddhist appearance.

Jiang Yebin continued, "I have never seen such a thing. Noble Concubine Xian is definitely innocent. I also believe that the Emperor has misunderstood Noble Concubine Yu."

"So do you want to explain for Concubine Yu?" Jiang Yubin said.

Ruyi's tense body relaxed, and she said, "The emperor still believes in me."

Then, she looked at Jiang Yubin. The strange look on her face had not yet dissipated. She shook her head gently and said in a soothing tone, "The emperor is suspicious of Concubine Yu. If I go to plead for her, it will confirm Concubine Yu's thoughts."

"The emperor is determined to punish her and let her suffer, but he will not hurt Concubine Yu. Let her wait for a while. When we find an opportunity, we will rescue her from this predicament."

Ruyi opened her beautiful mouth slightly, and the snake-like tongue that spewed out of her mouth rolled out these words from the darkness deep in her heart, and spread them out in front of Jiang Yebin and Rong Pei.

Jiang Yebin felt a chill down his spine. Concubine Xian was not surprised or shocked, but was busy trying to distance herself from the relationship, changing from "Hai Lan" to "Concubine Yu".

Therefore, she knew what Concubine Yu was thinking. She was just using her, just like she used Suo Xin.

Is Concubine Xian some kind of monster? She can manipulate the deepest feelings of others to make them willing to do things for her, even at the cost of their own lives. Even if Concubine Xian is always as indifferent as a chrysanthemum, there are still people who come to die for her.

This is so weird and so scary.

It seemed as if he had lost his own nature and turned into Concubine Xian's personal puppet.

Jiang Yubin said yes, then left with his medicine box. It was not until he stepped on the warm ground outside that he felt a little more at ease.

Ruyi lowered her eyes, and Rong Pei carefully fanned her, fearing that she would get too hot in the August weather.

Ruyi fiddled with the sapphire ring on her hand, the stacked jade rings, and the gems evenly distributed on her armor.

Concubine Yu was punished, which seemed serious, but in fact it was not a big deal, just a demotion. I don't think there will be any danger. The emperor has already punished her, and he won't punish her again in the short term. As long as he waits until the six palaces are conferred titles in the future, Concubine Yu will be promoted again.

However, she still decided not to react to Concubine Yu's feelings towards her and to show that she was unaware of it.

Otherwise, the emperor would really start to suspect her too.

*I don’t know what the emperor asked Bai Ruiji. Yanwan and Yihuan were still talking in Chuxiu Palace when they saw Bai Ruiji rushing in with an unsuppressible blush on her face.

She said in surprise, "Yanwan, Yihuan, I have become the fifth prince's adoptive mother!"

"Sister, do you think the Fifth Prince is a good person?" Yan Wan took into consideration that Yongqi was already seven years old and old enough to remember things, and wondered if he would vent his anger on innocent people.

"The children are all good children, it's just that their mother didn't teach them well." Bai Ruiji smiled and didn't care.

Yi Huan nodded, "I have talked to the Fifth Prince before. Although he is young, he is not ignorant. Even if he knows about Concubine Yu's affairs, he will not be upset or lose his temper."

"Yihuan, do you know what the Fifth Prince likes?" Bai Ruiji said, "The Emperor said that Yongqi should be sent over tomorrow. I haven't asked anyone to clean up the side hall of Yonghe Palace yet."

"I don't know what a child of this age likes." Bai Ruiji said with some distress.

"You are decorating it together with him. Isn't this a good opportunity to get closer to him?" Yi Huan said with a smile.
