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

After a few days, the plum blossoms that Jinzhong picked were not in full bloom.

The magnolia flowers in the other courtyard are in full bloom, with thick petals that look like fine silk. When the wind blows gently, the magnolia flowers sway gracefully.

Therefore, there were delicate flowers blooming in the vase on the table in Yanwan's room every day.

Jinzhong knew that magnolia symbolized purity and loyalty, so every two or three days, he would pick the best flowers from the tree and send them to Yanwan in clusters.

The concubines basically did not have the leisure time and elegance to do so, nor did they have any interest in flower arranging, so naturally they did not care much about it.

But one day, Concubine Xian invited Yihuan to appreciate the flowers, and it happened that Concubine Mei and Yanwan were playing chess next to the magnolia tree.

Both Meipin and Yanwan are terrible at chess. They are not very good at it and are always distracted by talking and laughing, so it is often difficult to determine the winner for a long time.

As soon as Bai Ruiji realized that she had made a wrong move, she wanted to regret it, and Yan Wan let her do it. However, in all likelihood, she didn't even know why Meipin had made the wrong move.

As the play went on, Meipin felt something was wrong and wanted to regret the move she made three steps ago. However, Yanwan disagreed because she could not even remember her position at that time.

When Meipin saw that she was about to lose, she started to act like a spoiled child. Yanwan refused to agree, and the two of them started arguing fiercely. Meipin took the Go pieces and threw them at Yanwan.

Yan Wan was so angry that she stood up and tried to catch her. Because they were out of the palace, there were not so many rules and regulations, and sometimes people would wear thick-soled shoes for convenience, which were slightly lighter than flower-pot-soled shoes.

Yanwan ran fast in her thick-soled shoes. Meipin was anxious as she was being chased. She was afraid of being caught by Yanwan, so she kept looking back. This made her run slower and she was caught instead.

Bai Ruiji raised her hands in surrender and begged for mercy, "My dear sister, I was wrong, please let me go."

Yan Wan pretended to pinch her arm as a punishment, causing Meipin to start struggling again.

Just at this time, Concubine Xian and Yihuan came here for a walk and saw the two people playing happily, not caring about their image.

Ruyi used the back of her hand to hide the smile on her face, put her index finger on her lips, and formed an open fan with her middle finger, ring finger, and little finger. She exclaimed elegantly, "It turned out to be Concubine Mei and Concubine Ling."

Yihuan looked at Yanwan so lively, and the smile on her face became more genuine. She had said that she would read poetry with Yanwan today, but she didn't see anyone when she went to look for her earlier.

I didn't expect that I was hiding here and having fun, which was actually quite fun.

Yan Wan and Meipin looked at Ruyi, put away their smiles, and bowed to her as usual, "Greetings, Imperial Concubine Xian."

Yan Wan looked at Yi Huan and asked, "Yi Huan, why are you here? I thought you weren't going out today."

Since Yihuan moved to the villa, she doesn't like being around crowds and seldom goes out. It is usually Yanwan who goes to see her.

It is not as big as the Forbidden City, and the emperor considered frugality, so the concubines are still distributed somewhat concentratedly in the villa. They are just closer to each other than in the palace, and can often be seen when going out.

Seeing Yihuan outside today really surprised Yanwan a little.

Yi Huan laughed and teased her, "Yan Wan is so nosy that she doesn't even allow others to go out."

"How dare I?" Yan Wan shook her head, looking innocent. "It's just that I haven't seen Sister Shupin outside the house for a long time. When I first saw her, I thought I was dreaming."

Yan Wan looked at Bai Ruiji cunningly, winked at her, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't you think so?"

Bai Ruiji smiled, her long eyelashes trembling and her eyes curved into arcs. "That's right. Since Shupin came here, like my sister, this is the first time she has seen you outside the house."

Yihuan was teased and felt a little shy. She also felt that she rarely went out, so she tried to change the subject and stared at Yanwan.

"I was originally going to talk poetry with you, but Lan Cui said you were out, so I thought I'd just take a walk and bump into Concubine Xian."

Yihuan didn't call Ruyi, but she knew that Yanwan and Ruyi were not on good terms, and Ruyi also had some complaints about Yanwan.

Moreover, before this, Ruyi took her anger out on Yanwan because she was punished by the Queen, and Yihuan was watching from the side.

Realizing that it was Ruyi who disliked Yanwan unilaterally and Yanwan herself had done nothing wrong, Yihuan did not mention Ruyi's name, but only respectfully called her Empress Xian, fearing that Yanwan would be sad to hear her talking about Ruyi.

Yihuan and Ruyi hit it off right away. Although Yihuan didn't agree with her groundless dislike for Yanwan, they had known each other for some time after all.

Yihuan thought that since the two of them were getting along well, she just needed to not mention Yanwan in front of Ruyi. Ruyi probably didn't care about other things and wouldn't mind her friendship with Yanwan.

After all, her relationship with Yanwan will not affect her relationship with Ruyi. As long as nothing happens between Yanwan and Ruyi, she will act normally.

If Ruyi insisted on bullying Yanwan, she would not sit idly by.

However, she always felt that Ruyi should not be a person who could not distinguish right from wrong. However, what she saw a few days ago made her a little doubtful whether Ruyi was really as calm as a chrysanthemum.

Let's wait and see. Yihuan still has some feelings for Ruyi in her heart. At this moment, she just feels that Ruyi is just a little uncomfortable, so she is very repulsive to Yanwan, but it is not the time for her to feel resentment.

If she had the chance, she would definitely persuade Ruyi that no matter how kind Yanwan was, it was not a reason for her to bully others like this. If she recognized her mistakes and apologized to Yanwan, perhaps the two of them would be able to live in peace.

Seeing that the three of them got along harmoniously and spoke in a very familiar manner, as if they had a very close relationship, Ruyi felt something strange in her heart.

Meipin was a lively person to begin with. She admired Bai Ruiji's fearlessness and Yanwan's domineering attitude. It was normal for the two of them to get along well with each other.

But Yihuan has always disliked people who flatter, so how could he be so close to Yanwan and even call her by her name?

Ruyi smiled and joked, "Yihuan, when did you become so close to Concubine Ling?" After saying that, she stood there, waiting for Yihuan's answer.

Ruyi put her hands in her warm plush gloves, standing there like a green bamboo. Although it was a joke, there was real doubt in her eyes.

Yihuan looked at Yanwan, with reminiscence emerging on her face. "Yanwan and I first met beside the red plum tree. She smiled, pure and without any impurities, without any of the intrigues that are rampant in the deep palace." The corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously, and she recalled her elf-like appearance under the red plum tree that day.

Ruyi's mouth corners drooped a little, her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Yanwan who was laughing foolishly with Yihuan, and asked, "Lady Ling, do you like Hongmei too?"

Yan Wan shook her head and said sincerely, "No. Lily is my favorite." She stroked the ruby ​​ring on her hand and smiled sweetly.

Yihuan nodded and said, "Yes, I asked Yanwan if she liked red plums at that time. She said that her favorite was lilies, but she couldn't bear to see the red plums wither and no one appreciate them."

Yihuan looked at Yanwan with admiration, and Yanwan smiled sweetly at her. This was a memory shared by both of them.
