Jinzhong held back his smile; he had no intention of explaining for Concubine Xian.

Jinbao handed over the money and said, "Okay, okay, the master is still waiting, let's go."

The vendor nodded and said happily, "Okay, come again when you have time."

The two men were holding things and rushing towards the emperor. Jin Bao lowered his voice and advised, "Why are you telling him all this?"

Jinzhong said with a smile, "It's just a joke."

In the previous life, Concubine Xian and her followers slandered Yan Wan in every possible way, saying that Yan Wan was despicable and seductive.

In this life, Concubine Xian, who is the most self-respecting, dignified and steady, must also be known as being seductive and mean.

This is what it means to repay a debt with a debt.

Now it’s just a hawker who thinks so, this is just the beginning.

*Ruyi took the emperor to a place where a group of people gathered. There was a storyteller sitting in front of the table. He compared the emperor's rule with the benevolence of Emperor Taizong and praised the wisdom of the current emperor.

This really touched the emperor's heart. He smiled from ear to ear and turned to look at Ruyi embarrassedly.

Ruyi's face showed some relief and calmness, as well as a calmness that was even more steadfast than that of the emperor. She smiled and glanced at the emperor, with a hint of ridicule, as if to say, "You can be so happy about this."

Then, Ruyi's expression turned into one of doting. Since the emperor was happy, that was good.

She smiled and leaned close to the emperor's ear, blowing into his ear and saying, "This prosperous atmosphere is a reflection of the emperor's hard work day and night."

Ruyi moved closer, then hugged the emperor's arm and said briskly, "The people are all praising you."

"Only by going deep into the people can I better understand my subjects and my world." The emperor said with a smile, then turned his head to look forward to the storyteller's next words.

The storyteller then began to praise the emperor's governance, saying that officials from all over the country were honest, corrupt officials were purged by the emperor's thundering power, and people all over the world were free from worries.

The people around him just listened to him quietly.

The storyteller was very emotional, and went on to say that the emperor was now on a southern tour, traveling hand in hand with the empress. They were a young couple, and now more than 20 years have passed, and they are still so in love. The emperor treats the empress with such deep affection and loyalty, he is a role model for all men in the world!

There was a burst of applause all around, and everyone said it was a good idea. The emperor was very pleased with the words. He shouted, "Good!" and then asked Jinbao to give silver to the storyteller.

Jinbao hurried over to give the man an ingot of silver, and the storyteller was so happy that he immediately bowed to him.

Ruyi's face had already turned bad when this man talked about the deep love between the emperor and the empress, the young couple, working hand in hand and supporting each other. Her lips drooped, but she still wanted to be happy for the emperor, so she made an expression on her face that didn't look like she was crying or laughing.

She didn't wear armor today, but her fingers were already used to wearing armor, so she slightly raised her back two fingers and gently rubbed the hems of her clothes with her index finger and thumb. She didn't deliberately stop her raised orchid fingers, as if she was still wearing her dignity.

Ruyi lowered her eyes, and her tall eyebrows formed a circle with the gap between her almost closed eyes.

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

As long as the emperor has her in his heart, it's enough.

She doesn't care about other obstacles and difficulties, or the people who stand between them.

*The two of them walked hand in hand on the bridge over the West Lake, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the moonlit night and the water.

The emperor couldn't remember how many times he had exclaimed that Hangzhou was so picturesque.

Ruyi echoed, "Yes. Especially as a couple...especially the two of us, enjoying the moonlit night at West Lake together."

The emperor agreed, "Yes. It's nice to be alone with just the two of us and have some peace and quiet."

Ruyi echoed, "Yes. Your Majesty, it would be great if we could always stay like this, just you and me."

The emperor agreed again, "Yes. But sometimes a few more people can make things more lively. I think Yanwan and Yihuan are both very calm and considerate."

Ruyi couldn't say "yes" now. She just wanted to say, no, Concubine Ling had ulterior motives, and Concubine Shu was deceived by Concubine Ling.

But she couldn't say these words, because Ruyi's principles did not allow her to say these in front of the emperor.

After hearing these words, the emperor would certainly have some misunderstandings about her. Besides, Ruyi didn't want to mention those dirty things.

The emperor was in a good mood. The two of them sat leaning against each other on the edge of the bridge. He said, "I only hope that we can spend every day together and depend on each other until we grow old."

Ruyi smiled secretly and said happily, "A good beginning and a good end."

Then she changed the subject and said, "It would be good if it really ends well from the beginning."

Ruyi looked at him with a look of scrutiny. She sat upright, looking down at the emperor, and asked with half-opened eyes, "What if love comes and goes, and disappears together like the mist at night?"

The emperor was stunned, he knew this moment would come.

But at this moment, he just wanted to hold Ruyi's hand, so the emperor coaxed her patiently and said, "Even if the night fog dissipates, the love between you and me will not fade."

Seeing that the emperor followed her, Ruyi was a little proud and asked with a raised corner of her mouth, "What if the night is foggy and you and I get separated?"

The emperor looked at her gently and said, "No."

"Just hold my hand and never let go."

Only then did Ruyi smile with satisfaction, and she leaned against the emperor's neck, which was a sincere compliment to his words.

Jinbao watched the two people leaning against each other with a smile on his face. He was happy if the emperor was happy.

Jinzhong stretched out his hands with a stern face, and slapped once, and then slapped again.

Jinbao sighed, looked at him with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Jinzhong, what are you doing again?"

Jinzhong had no expression on his face. He waved his arms in the air and said innocently, "No, there are mosquitoes here."

"Snapped"

"Snapped"

Jinbao could no longer bear it, and he said, "Jinzhong! Don't you want to watch it? If you don't want to watch it, just go away. It's late autumn now, there are no mosquitoes."

Jinzhong snorted coldly and said, "Are you from Jiangnan? You are the only one who knows whether there is one or not. Why does this mosquito have to bite me?" Then he turned around proudly and quietly went around to the back.

Just go, he didn’t want to watch it anyway.

Jinbao turned back again, smiling happily, looking at the emperor's happy look.

*The Emperor and Ruyi quietly returned to the palace.

Jinzhong immediately asked the emperor what he meant, and he sent the cakes to the masters of each palace, and specifically told them that the emperor brought them specially for the ladies.

The only place where Jinzhong could personally deliver a gift was Concubine Ling, and Jinbao was no longer surprised by it.

Arriving at Yanwan's room, Jinzhong placed the food box on the table, then took out an item wrapped in linen from his bosom and said, "Master Ling, this is what I bought outside the palace. Take a look. Do you like it?"
