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

*Yonghe Palace

Bai Ruiji gave Yongqi a brief explanation. Knowing that Yongqi could already remember things, she did not force him to forget Hai Lan immediately, nor did she forbid him to see Hai Lan again. She only explained what happened, but did not say that it was Concubine Yu who caused Yongqi's illness, for fear that he would be sad.

"Your royal father is very angry, so he doesn't allow Concubine Yu to get close to you anymore." Bai Ruiji said.

Yongqi already knew what his mother had done, and he felt a little ashamed. His mother had done such a cruel thing for Empress Xian, and she even had to make it difficult for Empress Mei to excuse her.

He nodded and said, "It's okay, Lady Mei, I already know."

"I know my mother did something wrong, so the emperor wanted to punish her. Yongqi feels very good that you didn't stop me from seeing my mother again."

Bai Ruiji's heart softened. Yongqi looked so thin, and Concubine Yu would definitely not have spoiled him in the past. Yan Wan had already told her that Yongqi had a high fever a few days ago because Concubine Yu wanted to use him to win favor for Concubine Xian.

Yongqi was just hugging a small quilt pitifully, then looked at her eagerly and told Bai Ruiji that he had just left Concubine Yu and needed a few days to adapt.

Bai Ruiji's heart was overwhelmed with maternal love, and she quickly said that there was no need to change her words immediately, she didn't mind, and she could change her words when Yongqi really wanted to call her mother.

Bai Ruiji led people to decorate his side hall, and also arranged a pile of toys sent by Yanwan Yihuan and others in a row on Yongqi's bed.

She had never raised a child this old before, so she was very careful in everything.

Bai Ruiji was worried that he would not be able to sleep well after just arriving at Yonghe Palace, so she held a storybook and read him a bedtime story until Yongqi closed his eyes.

Yongqi felt that his Empress Mei had a passion that was completely opposite to that of his mother.

Mother treated him well, but this kindness was often accompanied by a lot of strictness. She often reminded him to remember Empress Xian's kindness. Yongqi knew this, but sometimes he always felt suffocated. Empress Xian's kindness was too much, and he was a little overwhelmed. But he couldn't let Mother down.

As for Empress Mei, Yongqi felt that she was really doting on him a little too much.

But Empress Mei wanted to feed him, but he was already seven years old, and Yongqi refused repeatedly. Otherwise, if he really ate the food Empress Mei fed him, his mother would definitely think he was lazy.

Empress Mei also read him a bedtime story, which was something her mother had never done before.

Although he had already read the book that Empress Mei was reading, Yongqi still blinked and looked at Bai Ruiji, looking forward to the sequel.

Children are born with an instinct to crave love and affection. Pamper him and respect him. Even if he doesn't know the meaning behind it, the happiness generated in his heart cannot be deceived, so he will want to be treated in this way.

But everyone likes to be loved.

*The next day, Yonghe Palace

Concubine Chun came to visit Bai Ruiji with some gifts. She said, "I hope Sister Mei will not blame me for coming uninvited."

Bai Ruiji smiled and pulled her, "How could that be, Sister Concubine Chun. Your concubine and Yongqi can't wait to welcome you."

She welcomed Concubine Chun into the Yonghe Palace. Su Lujun glanced at the furnishings in the palace. It seemed that it had just been renovated. Everything was clean and bright. In one corner there was a small wooden horse, as high as a person's calf. There was also a cabinet next to it, which was filled with wooden swords, knives and axes, and on the top there was a small knife made of pure gold for decoration.

"Sister Meifei is so thoughtful." Su Lujun said with some surprise. There were not so many children's toys in her palace.

Bai Ruiji had a ruddy complexion and looked very happy. When she mentioned Yongqi, she praised him in various ways, saying that the child was sensible and well-behaved, and really likable.

Then, as she spoke, she became angry again, and accused Concubine Yu of being cruel and being able to harm her own child. She then criticized Hai Lan for her cold-bloodedness.

This series of changes, from being happy at first to being angry later, caught Concubine Chun off guard.

Su Lujun originally wanted to be polite and then state the purpose of her visit, which was because Concubine Yu had asked her to do so, and it was natural for her to come and visit every day.

But since Concubine Mei was so opposed to Hai Lan, she could not use this as an excuse.

Bai Ruiji scolded Su Lujun and stopped her from saying anything. Then she turned to look at Concubine Chun and asked with a gentle smile, "Sister Concubine Chun, why did you suddenly think of coming to me?"

Su Lujun was a little hesitant. She didn't know what excuse to use. She couldn't mention Concubine Yu. Should she say that she came to see him because she was worried?

Isn't it obvious that Bai Ruiji will treat Yongqi harshly?

For a moment, she couldn't think of any good reason, so she could only nod and say, "Yeah."

If you don't know how to answer, then don't answer. Concubine Chun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had an idea and avoided Bai Ruiji's questioning.

Bai Ruiji didn't understand what she meant, but she still politely asked Yongqi to come out and talk to Empress Chun.

* Yongshou Palace

"My dear, it has been some time since Concubine Jia regained favor." Chunchan said as she came close to Yanwan.

"I heard that she is very anxious." Yan Wan leaned on the couch with her head propped up, turning the jade handle of the fan with her fingers, and the tassels on the fan gently brushed the back of her hand.

"Princess Jia is very anxious. Concubine Yu became Noble Lady Yu, which just left a position for her. Naturally, she wants to be promoted to a higher position." Chunchan looked up at Yanwan, a slight smile on her lips.

Lan Cui brought a plate of freshly picked fruits. She half-knelt beside Yan Wan and fed her with her hands. "I guess Jiapin is hoping to have another child so that she can be promoted to a concubine."

Yan Wan took it with her lips, then rolled it into her mouth. She chewed it gently and found it sweet and juicy.

"The more anxious Jiapin is, the more she will believe in the pregnancy-maintaining medicine." Yanwan smiled and said, "If she wants to climb up, she must have a chance."

"Imperial Physician Xu said that Concubine Jia has to take pregnancy-maintaining medicine twice a day, without missing a day," said Chunchan.

"That's good." Yan Wan blinked her eyes and calculated. Now was the time when Ruyi was crowned queen in the previous life. After the New Year, she would go on a southern tour. Then in summer, Baiergas from Mongolia would enter the palace.

The one who took her Jingyun away.

Yan Wan was not anxious. Baier Gasi and Balin Meiruo, two Mongolian concubines who came from afar, relied on their Mongolian origins to look down on Yan Wan, who was born as a palace maid, and bullied her repeatedly. Balin Meiruo also taught Yan Wan's daughter Jingju bad things, causing Jingju to curse her mother in the street.

and so on.

When they enter the palace and become attached to Ruyi, Yan Wan will crush all these disgusting faces to death.
