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

The birch trees on Mount Wutai have turned yellow. The yellow mountains are set against the yellow grasslands, which is very beautiful. Hundreds of sheep look like small cotton balls from a distance, scattered on the fresh green land. The hills in the distance are covered with red autumn leaves. It is a quiet and reassuring place.

The emperor and the empress rode a white horse and a black horse respectively, and the two walked side by side on the grass, creating a harmonious and warm scene.

Most of the guards followed behind the emperor, riding their horses in formation, showing the spirit of the royal team.

A small group followed Concubine Ling and Concubine Mei, walking on the grass and enjoying the scenery. Yongqi followed Concubine Mei, riding a small brown horse.

Bai Ruiji and Yanwan were walking side by side. Neither of them had learned how to ride a horse, so they were just taking a stroll. Yongqi had just learned horse riding and was not very proficient yet. Besides, he was small and could not rein in a big horse. So the emperor asked someone to pull a brown pony for him. The fur on its four hooves was snow-white, as if it were wearing socks.

Yongqi was very happy sitting on the horse, thinking that one day he would gallop on the battlefield and travel to famous mountains and rivers with Empress Mei. Bai Ruiji, who was standing beside him, expressed her surprise at the various expectations Yongqi expressed.

"Yongqi is really amazing."

"Yongqi will definitely become a great hero in the future."

"Yongqi is so smart, he will succeed in everything he wants to do."

"Yongqi, mother believes in you."

Bai Ruiji's words coaxing the child flowed like a stream of water along Yongqi's heart. His face became hot and his face turned red due to the praise.

Mother is so nice. She believes whatever Yongqi says.

Yongqi's eyes sparkled as he smiled at Bai Ruiji. He said, "Mother, Yongqi will definitely work hard to make everything come true. Let mother live happily!"

*Langya was tired, so she went back to rest. Jingse and her husband also followed the queen.

Concubine Mei took care of Yongqi. The emperor saw that although Yanwan was surrounded by guards and servants, she smiled at the happy appearance of Yongqi and Concubine Mei. The emperor felt that she must be lonely in her heart.

The emperor knew how much Yan Wan wanted a child, but there had been no news recently.

However, the emperor felt that Yan Wan was envious of Concubine Mei being with her child, and was also deeply moved by Yongqi's happiness.

The emperor had an idea and reined in his horse beside Yan Wan.

The emperor saw Yan Wan looking up at him with a sparkle in her eyes. With such a small face the size of a palm and clear black and white eyes, she looked like a docile dog. This kind of eager and admiring look was only shown to him.

The emperor felt relieved. He smiled gently, stretched out his hand to Yan Wan, and said, "Would you like to ride with me?"

Yan Wan gently placed her hand in the emperor's palm, lowered her head slightly, covered her lips with her other hand, and said nervously, "Your Majesty, I don't know how to ride a horse."

The emperor smiled heartily and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He dismounted and asked someone to hold the horse first. Then he picked up Yan Wan and gently lifted her up, letting her sit astride the horse. Then he climbed back on the horse.

The emperor embraced Yan Wan, and his warmth passed through her clothes. He wanted to make the beauty in his arms timid, so that she would lean on him in a tender voice.

The emperor galloped on his horse, and sure enough, Yan Wan's fragrant and soft body retreated further and further as the horse accelerated, and she clung tightly to the emperor's arms. The emperor felt that his soul was also comforted by this reliance.

"Are you afraid?" the emperor asked behind Yan Wan's ear.

Yan Wan tilted her head, her cheek pressed against the emperor's neck. She clutched the emperor's robe tightly, and there was a tremor in her voice as she said, "I'm afraid."

"But as long as the emperor is here, I feel at ease."

The emperor laughed and then slowed down his riding speed. His concubine Ling trusted him so much, so he should teach her well.

The two of them were on horseback, and the emperor patiently taught Yan Wan how to ride.

Yan Wan was nervous at first, but then she listened carefully to the emperor's words.

Her progress bit by bit merged into a river, and then when the sun was about to set, the surroundings were filled with colorful sunset glow, and Yanwan quickly learned to ride a horse.

The emperor caught her, and Yanwan threw herself into his arms from the horse's back.

"Your Majesty is so powerful." Yan Wan said shyly and tenderly.

The emperor couldn't stop smiling, and gently took her hand, and the group headed towards their residence.

Yanwan's face was full of joy and happiness.

She had learned to ride a horse in her previous life, and it was the same then. The emperor taught her.

Pretending like this is really tiring. Fortunately, I have "learned" it today, so I don't have to pretend to be clumsy about this matter in the future.

* Forbidden City

After the emperor returned, the Forbidden City began to operate smoothly again.

Yanwan and Bai Ruiji went to see Yihuan first, and saw that she seemed to be in a bad mood.

Yan Wan asked, "Yi Huan, what's wrong?"

Yihuan looked a little melancholy, and Hexi said angrily, "A few days ago, Concubine Xian said a lot of bad things. The master wanted to ask for details, but Concubine Xian stopped talking and asked Rong Pei beside him to stop us and not allow anyone to ask any more questions."

"Your Majesty, Empress, Lady Ling and Lady Mei, you have all gone to Mount Wutai. The Empress Dowager is devoted to worshipping Buddha, so it is inconvenient to disturb them. For a while, the harem has become the world of Concubine Xian." He Xi became more and more angry as she spoke. She really loved their masters.

Bai Ruiji held the teacup and sneered, "As soon as we left the palace, Concubine Xian became so presumptuous."

Yi Huan gave He Xi a reproachful look, then explained, "We don't need to bother with such people. I will just wait for the emperor to come back, and then tell him about this strange behavior."

"Yihuan, Imperial Concubine Xian knows that you won't fight back against her, so she always comes to stir up trouble." Bai Ruiji frowned, sighed, and said.

"Yan Wan, why don't you speak?" Bai Ruiji turned her head and looked at Yan Wan beside her. After He Xi spoke just now, Yan Wan suddenly fell silent, as if she was thinking about something.

Yan Wan's eyes flickered and she said, "I think Concubine Xian is extremely jealous. She often uses her offspring as a pretext to make others sad."

"Now that you are so favored and have the child she longs for, Concubine Xian can no longer hold back and wants to destroy your happiness," said Yan Wan.

Yihuan's expression changed, and turned into a firm look, "The emperor and I finally had a child, and Jing? is still so young. I must not let anyone assassinate him, and I must not let Jing? be hurt by anyone."

"This is a life that is a fusion of my blood and the emperor's. How great." Yihuan said with a smile.

"Of course. As long as you don't believe what she says, she can't harm you." Yan Wan said with a smile.
