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

"Besides, although we are not a wealthy family, the daughters in our family are all brought up with care. How can your sister endure that kind of hard work?" Mrs. Narbu sighed and said.

Ruyi said helplessly, "Mother, you don't know that once you enter the palace, you will face endless human malice. If I really get involved in such disputes, then my daughter's suffering until now will be in vain."

Madam Narbu was so surprised that she almost cried out in shock. She only said, "Ruyi, how come you have enjoyed wealth and splendor in the palace for half your life, but now it has become suffering?"

Ruyi was choked by her mother's words and felt aggrieved. Wasn't she struggling in the palace just for her own relatives? How come even her mother didn't understand her?

"Mother, do you really think this kind of wealth and glory is what your daughter wants?" Ruyi asked with her eyes wide open and eyebrows raised.

Mrs. Narbu took a deep breath and said, "My lady, perhaps this kind of wealth and splendor is not what you want, but your sister's life cannot be lived in poverty all her life."

"I must find a wealthy family for my daughter, so that she won't have to work in the fields and do rough labor that she has never done before."

Ruyi sighed, with a look of understanding in her eyes. She closed her eyes tiredly and said, "So mother wanted to live a rich life, so she wanted to give my younger sister to others as an object, regardless of whether she was happy or not."

Mrs. Narbu felt as if her breath was stuck in her heart. She raised her hand and pointed at Ruyi, trembling for a long time without uttering a word.

Ruyi stood up stubbornly and squatted on the ground to apologize to her mother. She still straightened her neck and said, "Mother, I'm sorry that I don't agree with your idea. If you only care about power, my younger sister will not be happy if she marries him!"

There was an indomitable determination on her face, and she was not afraid at all even if she was about to face a storm.

Mrs. Narbu didn't understand why her daughter would be unhappy if she married a kind and wealthy family, but would be happy if she married a countryman who worked in the fields.

Is her daughter sick? She has a good and leisurely life, but her husband, who treats her with respect, doesn't like it. Why does she have to live a chaotic life and use her hands, which she used to write and draw, to weed in the fields?

Madam Narbu calmed down and finally managed to speak a complete sentence. She slowly stood up and said, "On the way here, I saw the gifts that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent to Yongshou Palace. Those gifts alone are enough to make a family of ordinary people worry-free about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and even pass on benefits to three generations."

"The gifts from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are so generous, and the dowry that Concubine Ling gave to her maids will definitely not be inferior to this. Not to mention the rewards from the emperor, the empress, and the ladies in the palace."

"That is to say, when a maidservant who was favored by Concubine Ling of Yongshou Palace got married, the dowry she received was the amount of gold and silver that your sister, who was determined to marry a country bumpkin, could not save in several or even dozens of lifetimes."

"I really want to tell you a joke. The dowry accumulated by the palace maids has reached a level that our family considers to be a bit of savings. It is enough for me to let your sister marry into the palace." Madam Narbu sneered and repeated, "That is just a palace maid in Yongshou Palace, not the wedding of the master inside."

Madam Narbu almost shouted out loud. These words really made her angry. She sighed sharply and full of doubt, "Madam Xianpin, have you become stupid because you are not successful in the harem?"

"But even if you're not doing well, you shouldn't be jealous of your unmarried sister and deliberately push her into trouble."

"Your Majesty is busy with affairs, so I'll take my leave first." Lady Narbu didn't wait for Ruyi to reply, but bowed and left the Yiku Palace without waiting for the time to come. She got on the sedan chair that was waiting outside to take her home.

The longer she stayed in the Yiku Palace, the more annoyed she felt. She felt uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at her stupid and foolish daughter, who was like a pig's head on a chopping board, so stupid!

Ruyi sat on the doorstep, her face numb and stern, her eyes filled with endless sadness that others could not understand.

Even her closest mother doesn't understand her. She is so lonely.

*Within a day, all six palaces knew that Concubine Xian's mother had finally entered the palace, but before the time came, she was so angry that she left, without even looking back, and went straight home in a sedan chair.

The people below told Yan Wan about this, but she just smiled and twirled the fan in her hand. She said nonchalantly, "It's really boring."

"Hsin Xian's sister is really pitiful. She must know what kind of stupid future she has escaped from." Yan Wan's eyes moved, she glanced at the person waiting next to her, hooked his chin with the fan, and asked softly, "Is that so?"

Jinzhong grabbed the fan with one hand and caressed Yanwan's fingers with the other. He fanned the concubine with the fan and said, "I think so too. Concubine Xian likes folk life. We should fulfill her long-cherished wish."

Yan Wan raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly, "No hurry, no hurry."

She hooked her finger, Jinzhong took two steps forward, and bent his body even lower, almost sticking to Yanwan's face.

His breath hit Yanwan's cheek, and her skin felt slightly itchy. Their lips touched, and the air became a little warmer.

After a while, someone's breathing became unstable.

"Master Ling, we have to keep an eye on Bai Wu, to prevent Concubine Xian from regaining power again." Jinzhong's cheeks turned red, his face full of satisfaction after being full. He raised his eyes, made a pitiful look, and begged.

Yanwan's face was also rosy. She snorted softly and didn't say yes or no.

It was strange that both of them looked drunk.

The drunk Jinzhong fell on Yanwan's legs and bit her finger with the tip of his teeth. Yanwan was not to be outdone and used her other free hand to pinch the most sensitive part of the man's ear.

Such nonsense can be seen almost every day in Yongshou Palace.

If people knew about this, they would definitely denounce it as ridiculous, too ridiculous.

*Outside the palace, Ruyi's house

In a girl's boudoir, an angry voice came, "Why did my elder sister take the initiative to betroth me to a country bumpkin?"

"She was in the palace before, and then in the emperor's harem, enjoying a life of luxury and wealth for half her life. Now, is she going to decide my fate with just a simple remark that she's unhappy?"

"Mother, why didn't you tell me about this after you left the palace!"

A pretty young girl said angrily, her heart filled with anger and confusion, "If I hadn't heard someone mention this, would you really have listened to your elder sister's advice and let your daughter work in the fields with a hoe in the future?"
