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

*When the Southern Tour reached Hangzhou, the same beautiful West Lake scenery was seen, but the people who saw it were different.

Yanwan, Jinzhong and Jinbao accompanied the emperor on a boat cruise on the West Lake. They saw that the people on both sides of the river were very happy. The Qing Dynasty had won a great victory over Dzungar Khanate, and there were no more foreign enemies around. There would probably be no war in the future. This was a great joyous event.

After the general sent by the emperor to fight against Dzungar Khanate won a great victory, he volunteered to destroy the Han tribe, determined to clear the obstacles on the border for the Qing Dynasty.

The Han tribe was attached to the Dzungars, but the Dzungars have been destroyed, and the Han tribe is nothing but a clown, not worth mentioning. The emperor only needs to wait for good news.

While the emperor and his friends were touring the West Lake, the concubines on the other side could also dress up and go out for a walk.

Rupin went back to the vendor's stall selling rice cakes, and Rongpei followed her. Ling Yunche said he had a stomachache and didn't want to go out, and Ruyi didn't force him.

Ruyi took a bite and said, "It doesn't taste like before."

It was only two years later, and the vendor still remembered the big customer who had bought all the cakes on his stall. He looked left and right but didn't see the emperor. He was afraid that Ruyi's nonsense would delay his business, so he said, "Madam, you are wrong. Our cake making skills have not changed. It is still the same as before."

He forced a smile again and said, "The master didn't come with you today?"

Ruyi smiled at him, sighed with pretended strength, shook her head and said, "Forget it, forget it."

The vendor asked eagerly, "Would you like to buy a few pieces to try?"

Ruyi felt that the man still remembered her and the emperor, and was concerned about her, so she felt relieved and said, "The prime minister and the master did not go out together today."

"Please pack a few pieces for me." Ruyi bowed slightly to the vendor and said.

Rong Pei opened her mouth in surprise, and whispered in Ruyi's ear, "Master, we don't have any money."

Ruyi's face was three parts embarrassed and three parts unhappy. She frowned and smiled at the vendor, "My dear brother, we don't have so much money at the moment. Can you..."

The vendor snatched the rice cake from Rong Pei's hand, shook his head violently, and said, "No, ma'am, no, no, really no."

"We are a small business and we don't accept credit." The vendor quickly refused. What if he set a precedent and no one else paid in the future?

Ruyi was still holding a half-bitten piece of rice cake in her hand. She looked embarrassed, but she didn't know how to leave, and she couldn't pay if she didn't leave.

It was his son who was standing next to the vendor, and said with an innocent pity, "Dad, don't ask this aunt for money. Aunt is so pitiful that she can't even afford to eat rice cakes."

The vendor's face turned pale. He quickly covered his son's mouth and scolded him, "Don't talk nonsense. This is the master's wife. She just forgot to bring money."

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even the master's unfavored concubine can use her power to torture ordinary people like them. The peddler was really afraid that his son would say something out of turn.

Ruyi looked even more embarrassed. She looked at the child unhappily. She was an adult now and she couldn't argue with the child.

Seeing Ruyi's unhappy face, the vendor said, "This piece is for you to try. You don't have to pay. The child is still young, don't argue with him."

Ruyi nodded and walked away leisurely. Rong Pei also walked away with her head down. It was really embarrassing to go out to buy things without bringing money. It was even more embarrassing that the master was treated as an aunt by the son of the peddler.

*The days were relatively peaceful and tranquil, but the governor of Hangzhou wanted to present a gift to the emperor, saying that he had a newly choreographed song and dance.

The news was first delivered to the Queen Mother, saying that they hoped she could help with the nomination.

The Queen Mother held a pipe in her hand. After listening to Fu Jia's explanation of the governor's intention, she sneered and said, "Let's just pretend we haven't heard this. If he wants to send someone to the emperor, he can go by himself."

"I don't want to bother with their trivial matters." The Queen Mother curled her lips and said, "The Emperor has his own ideas and doesn't listen to me at all. On the contrary, the Emperor is happy to flatter Ruyi no matter what she does."

"Fujia, what do you think is wrong with the emperor's brain?" The Queen Mother took a puff of cigarette and said in confusion, "Is Ruyi really that charming?"

Fu Jia shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the emperor himself doesn't know why. Look at the appearance of Concubine Ying, she looks very much like Concubine Ru. Maybe the emperor has Concubine Ru in his heart, but he himself doesn't know how important Concubine Ru is in his heart."

The Queen Mother frowned, her face full of disgust, as if she had seen something dirty. She was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "You'd better not read the storybooks that the little palace maid gave you as a gift."

Fu Jia raised his eyebrows, as if sighing, and said, "Yes, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother handed the opium in her hand to Fu Jia and went to the side hall.

After the defeat of Dzungar, Hengchu was able to return to the Forbidden City. At this time, the emperor still had some filial piety and knew to let his two sisters spend more time with their mother.

So Princesses Hengchu and Hengti accompanied the empress dowager on her southern tour. The empress dowager was very happy about this and was not willing to get involved in the emperor's affairs at all.

Doesn’t the emperor like Ruyi? If he likes her so much, just let her take care of it.

So the governor could only ask the emperor for his opinion on the presented song and dance. After getting the emperor's approval, a song and dance troupe came to perform within two days.

In front there is the gorgeous one like Jiapin, in the back there is the cold and aloof one like Shufei, there is the gentle and considerate Concubine Ling, and there are the coquettish and lovely ones like Yingpin and Kepin.

Although the dancer sent by the governor danced well, she was just an ordinary woman. The emperor had a picky eye and felt that she was not a beauty chosen from a million, so he had no interest in her.

On the contrary, Zhao Changzai, after returning home, was in a much better mood. She was no longer afraid to speak like before. She could accompany the emperor when he wanted to talk and tell him about the local customs and practices. Therefore, Zhao Changzai was still favored by the emperor for a while.

There was another thing that made the emperor happy. A few days ago, Balin Meiruo had no appetite and vomited frequently. At first, he thought it was because he was not used to the water, so he had a strong reaction.

However, Concubine Ke was concerned about her sisters and was worried, so she called the imperial physician to check on Concubine Ying.

After seeing this, they found that Yingpin was already two months pregnant. Meiruo originally wanted to tell the emperor first, but the maid next to Kepin was quick-witted and told Concubine Chun who she met on the road first, and the news was spread out in a muddled way.

When Yingpin went to tell the emperor, I'm afraid everyone in the harem already knew about it.

However, the emperor cared about her, and the empress dowager also cared about her. Many people sent gifts to Yingpin. The empress dowager also rewarded her with a golden hairpin given to her by the previous emperor to show her appreciation for Meiruo.
