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

"Yan Wan?" Ruyi tilted her head, raised her eyebrows and looked at the shy Ling Yunche, and asked with a hint of confidence, "She looked for you again?"

Ling Yunche shook his head, a bit of bitterness on his face, "Why would she look for me? I have let her down, and she has resentment in her heart, but I think it would be good if I could help Yan Wan avoid taking detours."

He thought that if Ruyi could give Yanwan some more advice, it would help Yanwan avoid the dissatisfaction of the ladies in other palaces.

When mentioning Yan Wan, the pain resurfaced in his heart. Just now, he saw Ruyi's face which was similar to Yan Wan, and he hadn't reacted yet. But now he felt that she was always like Concubine Xian, and now he saw that innocent little maid in the flower room.

Yanwan, Yanwan, you make me miss you so much. Ling Yunche kept repeating in his heart, thinking of Yanwan's glance and smile, which made him deeply worried.

Why didn’t I feel that before…

Seeing that he was depressed and distressed, Ruyi asked惢心 to bring two jugs of wine to relieve Ling Yunche's melancholy.

Fortunately, Jingse did not take the wine in the hall, otherwise this small room would be filled with nothing.

Ling Yunche drank silently. Before Ruyi picked up the cup in front of him, he had already drunk two or three cups. There was a slight flush on his face and his eyes became even more cloudy.

"What's the point of worrying about it?" Ruyi fiddled with the folds of her clothes, muttering to herself, pursing her lips as she watched Ling Yunche drink one cup after another. She felt depressed in her heart. She sighed, snorted, and comforted Ling Yunche again.

"Oh, don't drink so much." Ruyi reached out and held the wrist of Ling Yunche's hand that was about to pour the wine. Her eyebrows knitted and she called his name anxiously, "Ling Yunche!"

The alcohol was taking its toll on Ling Yunche, and his reaction was a little slow. He turned his head to look at Ruyi, "Ah?"

All he saw was Ruyi's deep concern. She treated him so well that he would never be able to repay her.

Considering that the two of them were close friends, Ling Yunche was not afraid of being laughed at by Ruyi, so he spoke, "Your Majesty, I am just worried."

"What are you worried about?" Ruyi tried to appease the drunk guard Ling. "With me here, you don't have to worry. If you want to take a further step in front of the emperor, I can also..."

Before he could finish his words, Ling Yunche's bitter face wrinkled up, his eyes closed, and a line of tears flowed from the gap between his eyelids and down his gloomy face.

The tears were clear, but Guard Ling's face was not purer than the tears. It was like a table that had not been wiped for a long time, with a few drops of rain falling occasionally, taking away some of the dust.

The tear marks on Ling Yunche's face mixed with the moonlight gave him a silver glow, which was much clearer than his skin which was slightly mixed with oil, dust and sweat.

"I am worried about Yan Wan. Yan Wan is not very smart, not as intelligent as Concubine Xian." Ling Yunche covered his face and stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from his face, but there was a layer of mud on his hands, and the water made his face even dirtier.

Ruyi then called惢心 to wet a handkerchief and used it to wipe Guard Ling's face.

Ling Yunche hadn't finished speaking yet, he was still immersed in his worry about Yan Wan. He knew that there were a lot of gossips in the harem, and he was really worried that his childhood sweetheart would be bullied. Although he didn't know what Yan Wan's difficulties were, he would certainly do his best to protect her.

After thinking this over, Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi who was worried about him, and pleaded earnestly, "Your Majesty, I beg you, if Yanwan has done anything wrong, please take the blame on me and take care of her."

Ruyi took the hot face cloth handed to her by惢心, but the warm touch in her hand did not soften her stiff body at all.

Her heart was torn in two, one half was that Ling Yunche really trusted her, and she was happy about it, Ling Yunche was just like that, he understood the reasons for her actions, no explanation was needed. There was a trust between them that they could share weal and woe.

Half of it is that Ling Yunche is still thinking about Concubine Ling! Wei Yanwan has already deceived him once. If Ling Yunche insists on being so stupid, then it will be easy for Wei Yanwan to deceive him a hundred or a thousand times.

Ruyi was also unwilling to let Wei Yanwan gain the favor of Ling Yunche, and even more unwilling to take care of that woman with impure intentions.

She was only angry at her good friend for still caring about the bad woman. This anger could not be directed at Ling Yunche, but only at Wei Yanwan.

She was blamed for wanting Ling Yunche's heart and the emperor's favor and glory.

Greedy!

Ruyi could not sit idly by and allow Ling Yunche to be fooled again and again. She must make Ling Yunche wake up as soon as possible and realize Wei Yanwan's true face.

The cloth in her hand cooled quickly, and Ruyi quickly stuffed it into Ling Yunche's hand and gently advised him, "Wipe your face first."

Ling Yunche looked at her relentlessly, frowning, tears about to fall from his eyes. He moaned, "My Lady..."

Ruyi sighed and smiled slightly, "Okay, I promise you. But you are not allowed to be so depressed. If you are frustrated like this again, then don't see me again." Her tone was full of helplessness and concession.

Ling Yunche wiped his face fiercely, wiped the dirt off his hands, and said with a relaxed smile, "Yes, I will listen to you, Your Majesty."

Ruyi showed a satisfied smile. She was already thinking about how to expose Wei Yanwan's true face in front of Ling Yunche and the emperor. Secondly, she could also rescue Yihuan who was bewitched by Wei Yanwan.

Ling Yunche was so flattering and obedient to her, and relied closely on her help, which made her feel that she was the only support of this man.

Although Ling Yunche still misses Wei Yanwan in his heart, after some time, Wei Yanwan's scheme will be exposed, and Ling Yunche will naturally erase all traces of Wei Yanwan from his heart.

When she thought that her friend could finally get rid of the entanglement of a vulgar person, Ruyi was happy for him from the bottom of her heart, and this day was not far away.

Ling Yunche looked at Ruyi's frowned and then relaxed eyebrows, and thought of when he and Yan Wan were playing together as children. He would sometimes catch some bugs on the vegetables to scare Yan Wan. Those long brown fleshy bugs would do this when frightened, twisting their bodies and then relaxing, just like Concubine Xian's eyebrows.

Ling Yunche found it very interesting and laughed.

Ruyi also smiled happily, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Ling Yunche.

Also under the moonlight, Yanwan was drinking wine, and she was drinking the wedding wine with Jinzhong.

The moon shone through the window onto the table, illuminating the small round table where two people were sitting. Two red candles were lit, and a small wine pot and two small wine cups were placed on the table. Jinzhong filled two cups with wine, took out a sachet from his arms, opened it carefully, and took out a small paper cutting.

It is a "囍" character with a small circular frame. It is not cut particularly well. The strokes of the character are not of the same size, but are almost similar. The corners are slightly imperfect and have small rough edges.

Yan Wan took a closer look and it didn't look like the work of a professional paper cutter in the palace, but more like something she had done herself.
