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

Ruyi turned sideways to look at the lake. She exerted force on the muscles on the sides of her lips, and her lips formed a perfect arc. Ruyi said with some regret, "Yes, I understand."

When the emperor saw that she was listless, he wondered in his heart whether he was being too harsh, but he was doing it for Ruyi's own good. He thought Ruyi would not be really unhappy, but was just unhappy because he did not coax her.

Oh, this girl.

The emperor put his arm around Ruyi's shoulders from behind and said, "Okay, I know you yearn for the people. At this moment, aren't we just ordinary people?"

The emperor thought about it for a while, thinking that only his wife could call him husband, so Ruyi should call him master, so he said, "Ruyi, you can call me master."

"I'll just call you Xian'er." The emperor couldn't help laughing as he said this. They had never had such a corny nickname before.

The drizzle in Ruyi's heart dissipated and the sun cleared up. Just then, the emperor's stomach growled, so Ruyi turned her head and asked him, "Your Majesty...what would you like to eat?"

Ruyi's thoughts suddenly wandered, and she thought that loving couples in the folks would also call each other this.

At this moment, she was the only one by the emperor's side.

She will stay with the emperor for a long time.

Ruyi said with a smile, "Noodles with scallion oil?" Then she laughed as if she had heard a joke.

The emperor looked at her tenderly and said, "You can eat anything, Xian'er."

Ruyi was laughing so hard that she bent over. After a while, she straightened up and looked up at the emperor again. She leaned close to his neck and said happily, "Pian'erchuan."

Then she burst into laughter again, laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

The emperor was infected by her and started laughing too.

This kind of laughter echoed in the mountains and forests in late autumn, giving people a very subtle feeling, as if it was written in a storybook, where those newly born goblins were ecstatic to be able to absorb the essence of mortals.

*As the lights came on, the emperor and Ruyi stood on the bow of an ordinary little boat, watching the performances on the stage on the side of the river. There were singers and even fire-breathing performers. It was a lively atmosphere different from that of the Forbidden City.

Ruyi recalled her childhood. She grew up in Jiangnan and now returned to her hometown. Everything she saw felt both new and nostalgic.

Ruyi pointed at the singers and exclaimed, then pointed at the fire-breathing people and admired them, then waved her arms and shouted at the juggling troupe.

Such naive and lovely girlish feelings made the emperor smile unconsciously.

However, while the emperor was looking at Xian'er's innocence, he was wondering in his heart whether Ruyi would be too conspicuous. After all, they were visiting incognito in order not to attract attention.

The emperor had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. As an emperor, he had never had this kind of feeling in the past few decades. He had disliked and hated people before, but this subtle feeling of discomfort made it impossible for him to ignore the strangeness in his heart, and he tried not to look at Ruyi.

Obviously, he also thought that Ruyi was so cute and attractive. But for some reason, the emperor always wanted to look at the waves of the river beside him.

The emperor didn't know that this feeling was called disdain.

Ruyi hummed softly and pointed at some things she knew. This was her hometown in her dreams. Her young emperor responded softly beside her. Jinzhong, the fierce and evil slave who had splashed water on her before, could only watch how considerate the emperor was to her.

Ruyi had a smug smile on her face, and she felt very happy in her heart. She had completely forgotten the unpleasantness she had felt when she just left the palace today.

She wanted to live an easy and comfortable life, and let those who had targeted her in the past see that she was not interested in fighting, and that the emperor had her in his heart and would give her everything.

*Disembark

"I've been looking forward to Jiangnan for so many years, and now I'm finally back." Ruyi's face was filled with unconcealable joy. She hugged the emperor's arm, looked up at him with a smile, her white teeth showing, and her eyes were filled with emotion.

She couldn't hide her cleverness. Far away from the Forbidden City, at this moment, Ruyi seemed to have really turned back into her younger self, so free and unrestrained. She tilted her head and said coquettishly to the emperor, "It was the master who brought me back."

The two of them stepped onto the steps. Ruyi jumped up and pulled the emperor's sleeve, pointing to a string of grocery vendors in the distance and said, "Master, let's go get some snacks~"

Jinzhong took the opportunity to lower his voice and advised, "Master, most people eat coarse food. I dare to say that if your dragon eats too much of the common people's food, it may make him... unwell."

The emperor has the capital to indulge himself because the world belongs to him, but the servants around him cannot allow the emperor to hurt themselves. Even if the emperor will not listen, Jinzhong has to persuade him.

Otherwise, if the emperor really had an upset stomach and the empress dowager and the queen blamed him, even if he had nine lives it would not be enough.

The emperor comforted him, "It's okay, I know, it's just a taste of something new."

Ruyi thought Jinzhong was being too talkative, so she muttered, "What are you afraid of? The common people can eat it, so why can't we?"

The emperor was still smiling, but a ripple appeared in his heart.

The same logic applies. The emperor can say, "It's okay. If the people can eat, he can eat too." The emperor himself said it, which shows that he cares about the people of the world, loves his people, and enjoys the happiness with them.

And when Ruyi said this, it meant that she didn't care about the emperor's health and didn't have the emperor in her heart.

Jinzhong tightened his cheeks and tried hard to hold back his smile.

I saw so many new and strange things today.

Ruyi was completely unaware. She was still tugging at the emperor's sleeve, snorting, "Master, let's go."

"You promised me that you and I would be a couple of ordinary people today... happy common people!"

"Besides, the master's purpose is to understand the people's sentiments, so we have to get into the role." Ruyi glanced at Jinzhong lightly, as if she didn't see him, and turned to look at the emperor.

The emperor smiled, but then his expression turned into a full smile. He nodded and said with a smile, "Xian'er is right. Jinzhong, please don't persuade me anymore."

Jinzhong touched his nose, smiled bitterly and said "yes", then followed the two people respectfully.

The emperor was the most suspicious and sensitive person, and at this moment, he must have had some thoughts. Concubine Xian was stupid, claiming to be the emperor's childhood sweetheart, but she couldn't even see this hint.

God is partial and refuses to open his eyes to see. It is obvious that Yan Wan is much better than Concubine Xian, who is incompetent and unwilling to learn.

But it is people like Concubine Xian who can become the favorite of heaven. She doesn't have to do anything, because she can't do anything well, and she can just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

Jinzhong sighed in his heart.

His poor Yanwan.
