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

As soon as Ruyi said this, everyone's faces were shocked. Concubine Xian didn't even bother to keep her composure and said such harsh words in front of all the royal relatives and nobles.

It was when the Emperor was creating a joyful atmosphere in advance for the Empress Dowager's birthday next year, and this dance was recommended by the Empress herself, which represented the Empress's intention. Moreover, the person dancing on the lake was the Emperor's favorite concubine, who had been a concubine for two years, which was already a great favor. Together with her were Concubine Mei, who had raised the Fifth Prince, and Concubine Qing, who had just been promoted.

How could Concubine Xian be so bold as to speak wildly in public?

The emperor's smile remained unchanged, and he continued drinking with a smile on his face. Suddenly he remembered last night by the West Lake.

It was about to rain, and the emperor gently said to Ruyi, "Let's go back to the palace."

Ruyi suddenly looked annoyed. She forced a smile, tugged at his sleeve, and begged him unwillingly, "I don't want to leave Hangzhou."

The emperor felt a little unhappy in his heart. Ruyi had disregarded his feelings many times today, and he didn't see that Ruyi cared about him at all.

The emperor really had to wonder where the lovely and sincere Ruyi had gone.

He didn't like others to cling to him and make him angry. For such people who were not considerate enough, the emperor would at most pamper them a little when he was in a good mood.

The emperor remained silent, but seeing that he had not given any assurance, Ruyi pouted and sat on the bridge unhappily, making a scene and refusing to get up. She looked as if she would not get up unless he agreed.

Ruyi's questions just now still echoed in the emperor's ears. At this moment, the emperor's patience was exhausted in the face of his often unreasonable childhood sweetheart.

The emperor suppressed his unhappiness and said, "I will come again."

Ruyi was finally satisfied with his answer, she looked up at him with her chin, smiled with satisfaction, nodded, and took his hand reluctantly.

The emperor's heart sank and sank again until it reached the bottom of the lake.

*Ruyi's words shocked everyone.

The surroundings were silent, and everyone saw that the people on the stage were still smiling, but they were all silent. Concubine Ling stood alone in front of the emperor, like a weak willow in the wind under the pressure of Concubine Xian.

Yanwan slowly raised her head, half covering her face, and her sleeve suddenly wiped the corner of her eye lightly.

Concubine Ling seemed to be crying.

The princes and court officials were all shocked. Concubine Xian openly forced the concubines in front of everyone. They didn't know what she would do in the harem by relying on her noble position!

One of the princes, who had a bad temper and was highly valued by the emperor, immediately said, "What Concubine Xian said is really unpleasant to the ear. I feel uncomfortable just hearing it, let alone Concubine Ling."

"The dance of Concubine Ling is very beautiful, and it makes the emperor smile, and dispels the fatigue of state affairs." Prince He frowned, looked at Concubine Xian, and said,

"Noble Consort Xian is a noble woman, but she sat on a huanghuali chair without moving. She did not prepare for the Queen Mother's upcoming birthday, nor did she want to make her brother happy. Instead, she ordered Consort Ling around, who made her and her brother happy."

"I don't know that my Great Qing, my brother and the Queen Mother all have to depend on you, don't you?"

The Prince snorted coldly. He and the emperor had the same father but different mothers. If you looked closely, he was also a handsome man, but he had a full beard and a rough look on his face.

Ruyi was severely reprimanded by Prince He at this moment, and she was extremely concerned about her own face. This was in public, and also because Prince He wanted to protect Wei Yanwan.

Didn't she know that Concubine Ling had such great magical power that made so many men fall in love with her?

The tiny thorns in Ruyi's heart were evenly distributed on the soft flesh inside her. Wei Yanwan pushed these thorns and tried her best to drill them inside.

The pain made her heart tremble, and the pain made her feel bitter and bitter.

Yan Wan raised her head, her eyes were red, but she still forced a smile and said graciously, "In reply to what Her Majesty Imperial Concubine Xian said, I love lilies the most. It has always been the case and it has not changed now."

"But the Emperor likes me to wear plum blossoms, saying that it makes me feel comfortable. So I dared to choreograph this dance, thinking that it can show the filial piety of the Emperor and the Empress to the Queen Mother, and also show my sincerity."

"Please forgive me for not being able to apologize to you for the criticism in your tone, Concubine Xian. Because many of the exquisite ideas in today's dance came from the sincerity of the Queen, so I don't want you to slander and tarnish the Queen's hard work."

Yanwan said this neither humbly nor arrogantly.

She did not pretend to be pitiful all the time, because that would make people feel pity for her, but it would only make some people think that she was a dodder who could only depend on the emperor and had no opinions of her own.

She did not just refute it, but just defended the Queen's painstaking efforts, that's all.

Who could be so harsh on a sincere person?

No.

The prince applauded and said, "Good."

He is the emperor's brother and a loyal fan. Naturally, he hopes that the people serving in the harem are willing to consider the emperor, but they should not be completely without their own opinions. Otherwise, what if someone is stupid and hurts his brother?

Concubines only need to please the emperor and the empress dowager. If they can't do anything else, then they should not cause disputes in the harem and make their brother the emperor worry.

What's the point of having a concubine like Concubine Xian who doesn't care about her brother's reputation at all?

The emperor raised his glass to him from a distance, the two men smiled at each other, and the prince held the wine glasses in both hands and drank them all in one gulp.

The emperor knew his loyalty and never doubted him. The world knew that although the prince was a bit absurd and didn't care about anyone's face, he would do the emperor's orders at the risk of his life.

Therefore, everyone present just lowered their heads and chuckled, thinking that Concubine Xiaoxian was confused and that she might have burned out her brain, making Prince He angry, and even the Emperor ignored her.

Ruyi's self-righteousness at this moment was completely blocked. Her face turned red and she couldn't utter a word.

On the contrary, Yan Wan smiled tolerantly and said, "I know that Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Xian likes plum blossoms and hopes to dance with her tonight. Can you..."

"Bo, you, smile." Yanwan said with a bright smile.

There is a folk picture book about a little carp leaping over the Dragon Gate.

The kind and lovely little red carp has always been bullied by the blue-black snake.

The little carp always faces difficulties with a smile.

The snake was arrogant at first, but now he is gradually afraid of the talent and ability of the little carp and can no longer laugh.

Yanwan was wearing a red dress today, and Ruyi was wearing a green and black mixed dress with a pale green kingfisher decoration on her forehead.

Who is the little carp? Who is the lazy snake?

You can tell at a glance.

Ruyi felt a sense of weightlessness in her heart, and her body suddenly shook a little, but she still supported herself on the chair and did not show any fear.

She suddenly thought that if Hailan had not been in trouble, it would be nice if she was still here.
