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

The Eastern Tour was grand and smooth, without any obstacles. Traveling by boat is faster than by horse and carriage, and horses need to rest and eat, but the water was flowing all day, pushing the boat forward day and night.

As we approached the end of our east tour, the sun was shining and the weather was getting warmer. The surrounding scenery was full of life, with new green leaves often covering the branches. Such tender green would dazzle the eyes even in the daytime.

When we arrived at the Forbidden City, it was already mid-May. The spring flowers had long since fallen and the sun was beginning to scorch us, making us feel scorched and restless.

Once back in the palace, there were many things to do. Jingse and Hengti were both getting married, and both Changchun Palace and Cining Palace were filled with joy.

The queen was frugal, but she loved her daughter very much. She gave the servants in Changchun Palace 30% more of their allowances, which continued until Jingse got married. Jingse's wedding date was in October, when the weather was bright and cool.

On the day of the princess's wedding, the emperor and the empress would certainly give her many gifts. For a time, everyone was jealous of the good fortune of the maids and eunuchs in Changchun Palace.

When she came back, it was a slightly sultry day. Yan Wan was feeling lazy and kept hiding in the palace, not wanting to go out.

Fortunately, the emperor still remembered and allowed her to meet her family. He has summoned her mother to visit Beijing in a few days.

Yan Wan also wanted to take this opportunity to give her foolish mother and the useless men in the family a good lesson.

Yongshou Palace suddenly became lively. Everyone saw that Concubine Ling was the new favorite. Her mother's family was allowed to visit her in the palace for no reason. The Emperor must really love her.

Many palace maids and eunuchs were looking forward to winning the favor of Master Ling and being called to work in Yongshou Palace.

However, Eunuch Jinzhong had strict control, and all servants sent to Yongshou Palace had to be examined by him, so it was very difficult to pass.

The reputation of the palace maids and eunuchs depends on their masters. When the masters are in favor, they can serve them. When the masters are not in favor, the servants around them are like rags, even worse than a stone on the roadside.

Just looking at the high position of Concubine Xian and the current situation of the palace maids and eunuchs around her, it is clear that Concubine Xian was often punished, and even the servants were embarrassed to be implicated.

That's fine, if you have money, that's fine too.

But a few days ago, the Queen reprimanded the Ministry of Internal Affairs for not distributing the allowances to the servants in the Yikun Palace, and Concubine Xian never mentioned the matter on her own initiative. The servants could only pay out of their own savings, otherwise they would really starve to death.

What kind of thing is this? How can one work for the Empress and not even get a salary? Concubine Xian is really stingy.

Everyone works hard to support their family. But now Imperial Concubine Xian has provoked the Queen and made those people work for nothing for a month.

I heard that Concubine Xian has been under house arrest recently. Although惢心 and Sanbao are her capable people, they are living a miserable life and can only eat what others have left.

In terms of seniority,惢心 is still the head maid of the Qiandi Palace. Lianxin who is beside the Queen, and Lixin who is beside Concubine Jia, none of them who have been the head maid for a long time are still like this.

How pitiful.

The eastern tour took a long time. After returning to the palace, Ruyi only had less than a month left to be confined to her room.

But it was still very hard to endure in less than a month.

Jingse brought people to take away the palace items again. Princess Hejing's personal maid said that the dowry that Concubine Xian had given her before could not express her full love. The princess felt deeply that the queen was thoughtful and would come to get it when she had time in the future.

The princess' maid led a group of servants to express their gratitude and thanks to Concubine Xian for the gifts she gave them. Facing these rows of sarcastic faces, Ruyi tried her best to maintain a flawless smile, which was really exhausting.

After everyone left, Ruyi slowly closed her eyes and leaned back on the couch.

Jingse was really mean. She kept asking for things after she said that. The queen taught the princess, but she didn't teach her etiquette.

Ruyi's face showed some composure again. For a moment, she looked at the empty room with only a few tables and chairs in the Yikun Palace. Her long eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, and inside were her crystal clear and calm eyes.

The queen was used to being frugal, and her daughter was brought up to be short-sighted. The princess was so concerned about gold and silver now, which was too vulgar. I wonder if the wealth of Korchin can satisfy Jingse's inner desire after she gets married.

She just waited and saw.

*Jiang Yubin missed惢心, so he often took the opportunity to pass by Yikun Palace, hoping to have a chance to meet惢心.

It was a pity that the guards at the door were watching closely, and he didn't know these people, so he didn't dare to get close rashly. If he ruined惢心's reputation because of this, it would really be his fault.

Jiang Yubi was anxious, but he could not find a way to meet her. When they were sailing before, Ling Yunche was on duty near the boat where Suo Xin was. He could also secretly ask Ling Yunche to pass some food and ointment to Suo Xin.

I don’t know how惢心’s arm is now. She told him through Guard Ling that it was okay.

But惢心 said that it was okay and she was fine. Jiang Yubin couldn't feel at ease and just wanted to see her again.

After returning to the palace, Ling Yunche went to guard the imperial court again and stayed away from Yikun Palace. Jiang Yubin had no way of asking him to deliver things.

He could only pass by Yikun Palace often. Through the palace wall, he was closer to Suo Xin, which could ease his worries a little.

But Jiang Yubin always saw one guard. There were not many guards at the gate of Yikun Palace. Every time Jiang Yubin passed by here, he would see the same person eight out of ten times.

Moreover, this person's performance was truly outstanding. Most of the others stood upright, but this person held his head high and his chest puffed out, with a look of happiness on his face.

Once he approached, no one else reacted, only this man looked at him and warned him with his eyes.

Although she was driven away by his eyes, Jiang Yebin admired him in her heart. He must be a positive person as he could be so enthusiastic about such an ordinary task.

And eight out of ten times it is this person who is guarding the door. If you can get to know him, it would be nice to ask him to bring you some food.

Jiang Fu was guarding the gate of Yikun Palace. As he had no connections, the leader always arranged for him to watch over the Yikun Palace.

No one else was willing to come to this place, because the people in the house were not liked by the emperor, and Concubine Xian was not allowed to go out, let alone talk to the guards.

This is a troublesome matter where if you do a good job, you will not be praised, but if you do not do a good job, you will lose your head. Therefore, with a big fool like Jiang Fu who is full of energy and willing to do any work, the leader is happy to make full use of him.

Eight out of ten times, he stood at the gate of Yikun Palace during the day. Occasionally, he was assigned to another place when the shifts were arranged. There were always people who would switch with him because they disliked the job in Yikun Palace.

Therefore, when Jiang Yubin didn't see Jiang Fu, it was the day when he was on duty here at night.

Jiang Yubin saw that he was often here, and he had long discovered that there was always an imperial physician who secretly walked through this door and always took a secret look at him.

Did you really think you were hiding well? Jiang Fu remembered this sneaky look at the first sight.
