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

Recently, the emperor is about to go on an eastern tour and has no intention of lingering in the harem. The queen finds out about this but doesn't care much because as the queen, she must be a member of the tour.

However, she had to consider which concubines in the harem should go and which not.

If we can get Concubine Xian to stop being an eyesore, it would be a good thing. Langya coaxed the Seventh Prince to sleep, and Su Lian came over to report that Princess Jingse came to visit.

As soon as Jingse came in, she saw her brother sleeping soundly with her mother looking at him gently. She was deeply touched and felt very warm.

"Mother Empress, your daughter greets you." Jinse was wearing a green dress embroidered with golden patterns and had gold ornaments on her head, which gave her the air of a legitimate princess.

Langya was delighted as she watched her daughter grow into a beautiful young lady. Jingse was her and the emperor's first and only daughter, and the most honorable legitimate princess in the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor doted on Jingse and had always been gentle to her. After he ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Princess Hejing of the First Rank on her, which was a first-class honor.

Now that her daughter has reached the age to get married, if Fucha can choose a good husband for her, she can live the rest of her life happily and joyfully.

As a mother, my love for my son is greatly satisfied.

It happened that Jingse came to pay her respects today. During the smallpox epidemic, it was inconvenient to travel in and out of the palace, so Jingse stayed in the princess's mansion. It has been more than a month since the mother and son last saw each other.

"Get up." Langya took Jingse's hand and led her to sit down at the eight-immortals table next to them. She hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and when they met, Langya's face was full of joy.

Jingse felt her mother's enthusiasm, and her heart was filled with warmth. She felt that she was surrounded by deep maternal love.

"Mother, how are you these days?" Jingse was a little worried. She knew Langya was weak and had to take care of the six palaces and her younger brother. It must have been exhausting during the smallpox epidemic, and now she had to worry about the affairs of the harem during the eastern tour. It was really hard.

Langya shook her head and smiled lovingly, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. The harem is harmonious, and the people are healthy. It's just that there are so many trivial matters, and I'm a little tired."

Langya stroked her cheek, feeling that time and worries had weathered her face, no longer as youthful and beautiful as when she was young.

Jingse was still young and didn’t know what her older mother felt. She wanted to do something, but she couldn’t do anything because Langya, in addition to being her mother, was also the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, and naturally bore a heavy responsibility.

Jingse felt sorry for her mother, so she walked over and snuggled in a chair with the queen. She put her arms around Langya's neck and rested her head on her mother's shoulder, just like she did when she was a child.

"Mother, you have worked hard." Jingse leaned in Langya's warm embrace.

Langya put her arm around her waist, her tone revealing a hint of helplessness, "You're so old but still like a child." She just hugged her tighter, with an unstoppable smile on her face.

"Jingse, mother is thinking about it. You are old enough to find a son-in-law, and I want to choose someone who is considerate and caring." Langya stroked Jingse's gorgeous clothes.

Although she was frugal, she always dressed her daughter in complicated and luxurious clothes. She also allowed Jingse to wear gold and silver jewelry, and even deliberately added some complicated jeweled head ornaments for her.

Firstly, it shows Jingse's dignity and status, and secondly, she doesn't want to make her daughter suffer. Teenagers should be prettier and cannot be like them, the elders.

Although Jingse knew that this was her predetermined path, she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought about getting married.

Although she would live in the princess's mansion in the capital with her husband, after getting married, she would no longer be the little child who could act like a spoiled child around her mother all day long. She would always have more restrictions, and it would be better for her to live a free and pampered life like now.

Jingse put his cheek against Langya's neck affectionately and said coquettishly, "I don't want to get married."

Langya patted Jingse on the back, her tone more serious but without any accusation, "Nonsense, my daughter has grown up, how can she not get married."

"I want to stay with my mother and brother forever, okay?" Jingse still refused and hugged Langya's shoulders and shook her.

Lang Hua lost her temper and nodded randomly, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say, kid."

Such happy and warm moments are rare between mother and daughter. At this moment, Langya put down all the burdens and stopped thinking about those trivial and noisy things. Only the love for her son flowed.

Nothing can make a mother feel more satisfied than her children's healthy, smooth, safe and happy growth, not even her beloved husband can compare to it.

From the moment the new life was born, the most important person to Langya was no longer her beloved Hongli, but her daughter. Since the birth of the Seventh Prince, the most important person was the Seventh Prince.

* Yongshou Palace

Yanwan's life these days is really leisurely and comfortable. Hongli rarely comes to the harem, so she doesn't have to face any annoying people.

Sometimes he would go to Concubine Wan to learn painting, sometimes he would go to Concubine Mei to talk, and then he would go to Yihuan to read poetry and books. When he was free at night, he would summon Jinzhong to sleep with him.

Yanwan didn't know much about poetry, and her family didn't have the conditions for her to read some leisure books. She was still struggling to make ends meet.

Yanwan told Yihuan the reason somewhat awkwardly. After listening to her, Yihuan was silent for a long time. Then he gave Yanwan several rare books in his collection and told her to ask her if she had any questions.

But such a leisurely day was broken by the news of the eastern tour.

On the day when Yan Wan heard that she was going to go on the eastern tour, she was still asleep in the afternoon. She had planned to wake up and find Chen Wan Yin to practice painting together. She just felt that she had made some progress and was not as scribbled as when she first started.

Chunchan hurried over to call Yanwan to get up, "My dear, Concubine Xian is here."

Yan Wan opened her eyes hazily from her sleep, and Lan Cui and Chun Chan supported Yan Wan on both sides, helped her stand up and put on her shoes, and then took her directly to a chair in the hall, waiting for Concubine Xian to come in.

Following Sanbao's shout, "Empress Xian is here," Ruyi walked in leisurely with lotus steps and glanced at Yanwan who was still sitting in the chair with sleepy eyes.

"Noble Lady Ling, I am here in the name of the Emperor to teach you the palace rules and etiquette. From today on, I will come to teach you for two hours every day at noon." Ruyi looked down at her with a hint of contempt, half-opened eyes.

Yan Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah?" but she immediately stood up and greeted Ruyi. No matter what, she remained very respectful on the surface.

The emperor had long said that Ruyi should teach Yanwan, but she was unwilling to do so in the past, so she kept delaying it.

The news of today's eastern tour made her a little restless.

A few days ago, Langya had just lost her temper with her, and the emperor rarely came to the harem. If the matter of the eastern tour was to be managed by the queen with full authority over all the people in the harem, then Langya might use a shady trick to cross her name out.

By that time everyone had already set off, and even if Hongli missed her, the two of them were too far apart to be together.

So Ruyi came to teach Yanwan, which gave her a legitimate reason to go find Hongli.
