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

Ruyi still stood there, looking at the emperor in surprise, and repeated, "Your Majesty, I am pregnant, aren't you happy?"

The emperor turned his head again with a smile, looked at Ruyi, and said, "I'm happy."

But this reaction was not what Ruyi expected. Her cheeks were as white as if some snow had really fallen on them.

When a beauty smiles, everyone around her will immediately make way for her, so when Ruyi smiles, the elf sleeping on her cheek will quickly sweep away the snow on her face, revealing her deep wrinkles, two on her eyelids and two standing up next to her nose.

There is black and white, and this is a three-dimensional and full person.

But Ruyi didn't smile at this time. She frowned and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty?"

The emperor moved his face from Yan Wan to Ruyi, frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "I heard it, I'm not deaf."

Seeing the emperor's nonchalant look, Ruyi was furious. She pouted her lips, squinted her eyes and stared at the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, don't you even say a word to me?"

The Emperor and Yan Wan were holding hands. The Emperor was distracted by talking to Concubine Xian, so Yan Wan tickled his palm with her fingers and made trouble in his hand.

Like a little fish swimming in the emperor's palm, making him feel itchy in his heart, the emperor easily pinched the back of Yanwan's hand, pressed her little hand with his palm, and fixed it on the couch to prevent this naughty little girl from teasing him all the time.

After temporarily subduing his little honey pot, the emperor's mind finally escaped from the hands of the two people. He looked at Ruyi with a smile and said, "Noble Concubine Xian, why don't you go to rest?"

Ruyi's body shook. She slowly took a step back, wanting to lean delicately on the strong Rong Pei.

Rong Pei used to be a palace maid in the Old Summer Palace. She just took care of the flowers and plants, trimmed some ugly branches, and carried tree trunks.

She had never done such a meticulous job and thought that Concubine Xian was having trouble standing because she had been eating too poorly recently.

So Rong Pei stretched out her hands, placed them under Concubine Xian's armpits, then lifted the person up with force, and stood on the ground with a "thump".

Ruyi was like a vase that was about to fall over. Rong Pei picked her up with one hand and then "snap" her to stand at attention.

When the emperor saw this scene, he was a little surprised. What was this doing?

Jiang Yubin seemed to have said something to him just now, but the emperor didn't listen at all. Could it be that Concubine Mingxian was deliberately playing tricks?

Ruyi likes it, and the emperor lets her do it. But Ruyi is pregnant, so she can’t practice secretly recently, otherwise it will hurt her and the baby.

Ruyi frowned and asked, "Is the emperor listening to me?"

The emperor was really unhappy now. Why did Ruyi always question him? And she did this in front of Yan Wan. Did she still understand him? Imagine how Yan Wan would feel if she scolded him like this?

Then, he widened his eyes and said loudly, "I heard it."

Ruyi's face flushed. Her self-esteem was frustrated in front of Yanwan, which made her unhappy.

In front of the person he hated, the emperor didn't even consider her at all. What did Concubine Ling think?

Concubine Ling will definitely make fun of her.

Ruyi said patiently, "Then why... didn't the emperor say a word?"

The emperor's eyes widened, and he said in a louder voice, "I told you to go back and rest!"

Ruyi was not to be outdone, she suddenly accused, "Your Majesty is busy, I cannot disturb you."

"I'll take my leave first." Then Ruyi turned around and walked out, holding up her clothes, spreading her legs and striding out.

When going down the stairs, the two legs bend like a symmetrical precision machine, folding with each step.

Ruyi walked away angrily with the sound of "knock knock knock".

The emperor and Wei Yanwan were left far behind.

*Inside the Palace

The emperor's chest was heaving with anger. Yan Wan hurriedly helped him calm down and then comforted him with kind words.

The emperor looked at her beautiful face and thought to himself, how wonderful it would be if this was his childhood sweetheart.

"The Ruyi of the past has disappeared, and the Noble Concubine Xian of today only knows how to pursue pleasure. She doesn't understand me at all, and doesn't love me." The emperor lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. He suddenly felt a little sad in his heart for his childhood sweetheart who was no longer there.

Yan Wan was pouring tea. She sat obediently beside the emperor, looking weak and harmless.

Chunchan looked at the sky outside and reminded, "Master, it's time to take the pregnancy-preserving medicine."

The emperor nodded and said, "Yanwan, you should go back first. But be careful where you step."

Yan Wan nodded, and then the emperor called Jinzhong over and asked him to send Concubine Ling back.

Jinzhong came over holding a whisk and followed Yanwan respectfully, abiding by the palace rules, speaking and acting carefully, without any selfish thoughts, and carefully escorting the emperor's favorite concubine back to her own palace.

During this southern tour, the emperor thought that although the treasury was full, he should be more frugal, because he was planning to go on tour again the year after next, so he did not bring many people with him into the palace.

The three people walked around a corner. It was early winter, the leaves had fallen, and the scenery here looked bleak, so almost no one came here.

When he realized that there was no one here, Jinzhong was very concerned about his master and was afraid that the emperor's beloved Concubine Ling would fall, so he carried her away.

Chunchan, the senior palace maid beside Concubine Ling, is also a loyal servant. She is loyal to the emperor, so she has to protect Concubine Ling. So she looks around carefully to see if there are any stones flying from the sky, so as not to hurt their master Ling.

Jinzhong picked her up and felt as if he was holding a large piece of cotton in his palm, so soft and light. He said with some distress, "Master Ling, you are pregnant now, so you should eat more. You are so light and fluttery, it makes me feel distressed."

Yan Wan hugged his neck, and with one hand, she casually kneaded Jin Zhong's earlobe and said, "No way, I've gained some weight."

Jinzhong looked ahead and stepped carefully. He chuckled and said she was bad and that she had lied to him again.

"Master Ling, how heavy is it? How could this servant not know?" Jinzhong teased Yanwan, and then added, "I often weigh you in my hands."

Seeing that he was teasing her, Yanwan pinched his ear slightly, which stimulated Jinzhong so much that he bit his lip and closed his mouth.

There was no one around, but Chunchan was there. Although Chunchan covered her ears as she walked, Jinzhong was not so shameless.

Jinzhong raised his eyes to look at Yanwan, who was grinning as if she had eaten honey, and begged for mercy in a low voice, "Good Master Ling, please spare me for now."

Yanwan snorted softly and raised her head proudly.

Jinzhong held the Peacock Princess tightly in his arms as she held her head high, and walked down step by step.
