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

Concubine Xian's thoughts are obvious.

The benefits of rebirth were reflected at this moment. Yan Wan already knew the truth about the pregnancy-maintaining drug. Although the emperor's mind had changed, the fact that the pregnancy-maintaining drug prevented people from getting pregnant had already been known to Concubine Xian before he changed his mind.

Concubine Xian knows the hurtful truth and wants to reveal it to Yihuan when she is least prepared.

Is she just holding a grudge like this?

How disgusting.

Has Yihuan ever done anything to hurt her? If the truth cannot be accepted by Concubine Xian, then in Ruyi's world, Yihuan is indeed a bad person, and all those who see through Ruyi's hypocrisy are bad people.

* Hall of Mental Cultivation

Yanwan asked Jinzhong to mention the matter vaguely in front of the emperor, only saying that after Concubine Xian went to see Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu was in a bad mood.

Concubine Xian seemed to have mentioned pregnancy-maintaining medicine for no apparent reason, and also said that Concubine Shu did not cherish the emperor's affection, and so on.

The emperor didn't react much, just said he understood, and then let Jinzhong leave first.

He then summoned Qi Ru and asked him whether he had mentioned the pregnancy-maintaining medicine to Concubine Xian.

Qi Ru replied, "Jiang Yubin has always taken care of Concubine Xian. She has never asked me about the pregnancy medicine. Perhaps Concubine Xian is very careful and got the information from somewhere."

The emperor waved his hand and asked him to leave.

The emperor then summoned Yu Hu and asked her to investigate the matter and find out whether it was Jiang Yubin who discovered that there was something wrong with Shu Fei's pregnancy medicine, and then find out whether it was Qi Ru who leaked the matter.

Yu Hu left soon, and the emperor was the only one sitting in the Yangxin Palace.

He then took out the portrait he had made of Ruyi. The girl in the portrait was in her youth, smiling innocently and brightly.

Time has passed, and Ruyi has been his concubine for more than 20 years. Time is merciless, and Ruyi is no longer as energetic as she was when she was young, but there is always a sense of clarity and tranquility in her.

Ruyi's intelligence, the agility and cunning in her soul are unique and cannot be found anywhere else by the emperor.

But now, the emperor felt that this unique temperament was gradually stripping away from Ruyi. She was becoming increasingly mediocre and old, and was gradually becoming an ordinary face in his harem.

Like the other quarrelsome women in the harem, her heart was filled with restless calculations.

The emperor felt a slight pain in his heart. He really didn't want his pure and kind childhood sweetheart to become like that.

If Ruyi really knew about the pregnancy-preserving medicine and did not understand the emperor's difficulties, she would be determined to reveal it to Shufei in order to use it to plot against others or even betray him.

Then there is no difference between Ruyi and those ordinary people.

Then the emperor would no longer have the affection for her childhood sweetheart. He would only cherish the memory of his once pure and kind childhood sweetheart.

*Ever since Bai Ruiji heard about the Chuxiu Palace incident, she came to guard the palace whenever she had time, fearing that Ruyi would come here to cause trouble again. If Rong Pei came to the Chuxiu Palace to act wildly again, she would not be able to resist with her whip.

In order to protect the peace of her sisters and Yongqi, Bai Ruiji went to bed early every day, and then got up in the morning to practice what Yongqi had learned from his master and do some body-strengthening exercises.

Every day she and Yongqi would eat some nourishing medicinal food, and in the evening she would walk around the Yonghe Palace several times.

This is to ensure that next time you pick up the whip, your body will be able to withstand the exertion of swinging it, and you won't feel sore after just one whipping.

* Chuxiu Palace

Yongqi got out of school early today, so Bai Ruiji took him to Chuxiu Palace to visit his Empress Shu and his sister Jing.

Bai Ruiji was holding a tiny jade ball in her arms. Jing? was prettier than when she was a full moon. She was fair with a hint of pink, and loved to laugh. She would often smile when she saw people, but there was no tooth in her little mouth. She was cute and a little funny.

She coaxed Jing? gently, and Jing? stared at Bai Ruiji with a smile on his face.

Bai Ruiji tilted Xiao Jing slightly to show it to Yongqi, and said, "Yongqi, look. Isn't this little sister cute?"

Yongqi nodded and said, "Mother, Yongqi, can you hug your sister?"

Bai Ruiji was worried. She was afraid that Yongqi would not be able to hold Jingling steadily and would drop her again. She was about to say, "Yongqi, wait until your sister is older, and then you can hold her."

But she only had time to say the first two words before Yi Huan agreed, "Sure, nurse, bring Jing? to the Fifth Prince."

Soon a wet nurse came and carefully took Jing from Concubine Mei's arms, and patiently told Yongqi how he should hold such a small child.

Bai Ruiji looked at Yihuan and raised her lips, a little embarrassed. Yihuan also said, "It's okay, Yongqi is a careful person, there will definitely be no mistakes."

Yongqi took his little sister in his arms. The little sister was wrapped in a swaddle, light and white, just like the clouds that Yongqi could see every time he looked up at the sky.

Her eyes were dark, and she blinked and then smiled at him.

Yongqi felt very warm in his heart. He looked up happily, seeing the smiling faces of his mother and Shu Niangniang, and in his arms was the smiling face of his youngest sister.

It was such a happy moment.

*Outside Yonghe Palace

The servant of Yonghe Palace apologized, "Empress Chun, our master just went out and is not in Yonghe Palace anymore."

Su Lujun nodded somewhat disappointedly, then went back to her palace listlessly.

Ke Xin held Concubine Chun's hand and said in confusion, "My Lord, although Concubine Yu asked you to visit Yongqi more often, there is really no need for us to do this."

"Since Concubine Mei returned to the palace, you have been coming to Yonghe Palace every day these days, but Concubine Mei is often out, and you always come in vain, which is not a good idea."

Ke Xin said cautiously, "How about you, my Lord, invite Concubine Mei to come to Zhongcui Palace. It will save her the trouble of traveling every day. Besides, you are a noble concubine and she is a concubine, so you can invite her."

Su Lujun shook her head and said, "No," without saying anything more.

Ke Xin didn't know what her master was thinking, so she could only shut her mouth in disappointment.

Concubine Chun sighed softly. She went to Yonghe Palace thinking about when she could see Concubine Ling again. If she invited Concubine Mei to her palace, wouldn't that go against her original purpose?

It would be better for her to directly invite Yan Wan to come to Zhongcui Palace for a visit.

Will she come?

Su Lujun was nervous, and recalled the time when they played cards, which seemed to be a long time ago. After Yanwan came back from Mount Wutai, she had rarely seen Yanwan except to pay her respects.

Besides, Su Lujun was always a little timid in her heart, she didn't dare to take the initiative to invite Yan Wan, the guilt in her heart tortured her for a long time, so she didn't dare to ask, didn't dare to hope, didn't ask Yan Wan to regard her as a friend, just to have a polite relationship.
