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

*On May 5th, Concubine Shu gave birth to a son, the eleventh prince of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor specially named him Yongxuan.

The Queen Mother was very happy and gave her many things that the late Emperor had given her.

Yihuan still smiled gently at the emperor, but the sincere love in her eyes was gone. But the emperor couldn't see it, he just came to visit, and when he saw Yihuan's face was swollen and full of spots, he felt that she was not as beautiful as before, so he said a few words of concern and left.

Even He Xi could see the emperor's perfunctory attitude, so she tried to persuade him carefully. Everyone knew that their master was the most infatuated, but this infatuation would only hurt herself.

Yi Huan just smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's not the first day that the emperor has been like this. Aren't you used to it yet?"

He Xi curled her lips, feeling very aggrieved. Their master cherished her appearance the most, but she became like this and was even despised by the emperor.

Little did they know who was the reason why their master became like this!

During the month when Yi Huan was recuperating, people from the harem often came to visit her. Yan Wan and Bai Rui Ji often came to accompany her. They had heard about the emperor's cruelty and were very worried. Yi Huan was so infatuated before, and now she had gone through the gates of hell while giving birth, but the emperor was so cold and didn't come to see her more often.

Now she seems to be in a good mood and often reads books, but the poetry collection in her hand has changed from the emperor's poetry collection to that of famous poets in the past.

It's a good thing.

Although the emperor seldom visited Shufei, he held a grand ceremony when Yongxuan's full moon was approaching, and everyone in the harem sent gifts.

Unexpectedly, Noble Lady Ying and Noble Lady Ke also came in person.

When the two entered the hall, Yihuan was sitting on the couch embroidering a bellyband for Yongxuan. She was still as beautiful as ever, with a cool aura around her, yet she looked unusually gentle.

Meiruo heard that the emperor turned away because Shufei's appearance was damaged. She hated those who flattered the emperor. If it were someone else, she would definitely applaud and laugh at the other person.

But this was Shu Fei, the one who listened to her childish words and gently told her to be careful of ears on the other side of the wall, as this would cause people to make a big fuss about it.

Meiruo saw that Shu Fei was still as charming as ever, except for some spots on her face, which added a lot of gentleness to her temperament. The emperor... was a little heartless.

Meiruo wanted to comfort Yihuan, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only praise the Eleventh Prince Yuxue next to her for being adorable.

On the contrary, it was Concubine Ke who smiled slightly and said, "The Emperor really loves Concubine Shu."

Yihuan's expression did not change. He politely served tea to the two of them, invited them to sit down, and then talked for a long time.

Meiruo and Baiergas left Chuxiu Palace and asked in confusion, "Sister Ke, why did you say that to Concubine Shu? She loves the emperor deeply, and she must be sad if the emperor doesn't come to see her."

Baiergas just smiled slightly, looked at Meiruo and said, "So what? Not all the people in the palace are sisters. Shu Fei was so favored in the past, but didn't the emperor abandon her just because he wanted to?"

"I was just expressing my feelings. Madam Shu Fei is very magnanimous and I'm afraid she won't take it to heart." Seeing that Mei Ruo seemed to disagree, Concubine Ke changed the subject and said.

Concubine Ying was silent for a moment. She didn't understand what Sister Ke meant, but she didn't like what Concubine Shu meant anyway.

But Empress Shu Fei is also very nice...

Meiruo's limited experience in dealing with things made it impossible for her to understand the current situation, so she could only respond hesitantly and then follow Concubine Ke back to Xianfu Palace.

Baiergas didn’t care whether Concubine Ying understood or not. She just wanted Balin Meiruo to listen to her and do whatever she said.

*After the two people left, He Xi came over again and carefully looked at Yi Huan's face, and just said, "Mrs. Ying is still young, and those unruly things she did in the past must have been because she was ignorant. Before, this Mister Ke was obviously trying to pierce your heart."

Yi Huan didn't react much, nor was she angry. She just picked up the book beside her and flipped through it. "I don't care about the emperor. What does it matter what they say? It's just like a mosquito buzzing in my ear. It's meaningless."

"He Xi, I know you're afraid that I'll be sad. You don't have to worry about it anymore." Yi Huan was still very beautiful. The love she had given away flowed back into herself, making her look particularly peaceful. "My fate with the emperor is probably these two children."

"Once the children were born, my fate with the emperor was over."

"Don't worry, I won't be obsessed with that person anymore." Yihuan said this decisively in a calm and natural tone, as if she was saying, let the kitchen make some pearl meatballs tonight.

That burning love also quietly dissipated. Perhaps this is the fate of the emperor, cherishing and being loved will never appear in him at the same time.

Even if you love him deeply, he will only discard him like a worn-out shoe after careful consideration when his beauty is damaged.

Yes, emperors have always been heartless since ancient times. They have to care about the whole world, so how can they linger on a mere woman?

But isn’t this resentful?

Resentment.

But there is no point in complaining. The women in the harem are like flowers that bloom one batch after another. If the two most blooming flowers today wither, new flowers will soon replace them.

After Concubine Ying, the Emperor successively conferred titles on several other ladies as officials and concubines.

However, the emperor was already over 40 years old and had recently indulged himself in sexual activities, so he sometimes felt that he was not able to do what he wanted. He thought about drinking some deer blood wine to replenish his body.

He was still considering whether to take some golden elixirs, but then he remembered that the previous emperor did not live longer after taking the golden elixirs, so the emperor gave up the idea.

He just asked someone to bring deer blood wine, and despite Jinzhong and Jinbao's dissuasion, he still wanted to drink it.

Upon hearing that the emperor drank something so harmful to his body, Yan Wan went to the Yangxin Palace to advise him in time.

It's a bit ironic that in her previous life, Yan Wan had fed this wine to the emperor, but now she has to act like a saint and advise the emperor to take care of his body.

After Yan Wan said those righteous words, the emperor felt it was a little funny, but he just thought that she really cared about him and was moved when he heard the news. Even the empress dowager had not taken any action yet.

The emperor made up an excuse and let Concubine Ling go away half-believingly. A moment later, the empress dowager sent Fu Jia to find out the emperor's intentions and also tactfully persuaded the emperor not to drink those things.

However, it still didn't work.

The emperor is the Son of Heaven and cannot be controlled by others. Everyone can only persuade him with emotion and reason, but if he doesn't listen, what else can they do?

The Queen Mother sighed, not knowing what to do. Although the Emperor was young and strong, he couldn't torture himself like this.

Seeing how anxious the Queen Mother was, Fu Jia suddenly said, "I think there is one person who can be persuaded right now."

Under the Queen Mother's gaze, she slowly uttered the man's name.

"Ruyi."
