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

Ling Yunche was already in financial difficulty, but luckily he still had a lot of his old salary in his hands, so he could still get by.

When Concubine Xian knew that he had been punished, she wanted to comfort him and sent him some cakes so that he could eat when he was hungry while on duty at night.

Unexpectedly, that night, the lights at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation were somehow very dim.

He asked Eunuch Jinzhong if he could add some lamp oil, but was scolded by Jinzhong.

Jinzhong said Ling Yunche was not frugal, and the emperor had ordered the palace to be frugal and not waste anything. He could see this brightness clearly.

After that, Jinzhong called the person on duty on the other side, who was Jiang Fu. Jiang Fu also said it was okay, as he was willing to obey the emperor's orders and be frugal.

Jinzhong pouted his lips as if it was Ling Yunche who was being hypocritical, and said to him, "Don't waste this eunuch's time anymore."

Ling Yunche thought that Jinzhong was, after all, someone close to the emperor, and Jiang Fu had just helped him a few days ago, so he endured it.

When Concubine Xian passed by the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, the two of them smiled at each other.

After Concubine Xian entered, Jinzhong looked at him sideways and told him not to look at the emperor's concubines randomly, and that he should know what lowly status he held.

Ling Yunche felt a little aggrieved, but he also knew that Jinzhong had poured water on Concubine Xian before. He had never been on good terms with Concubine Xian, but he was just taking advantage of the situation because Ling Yunche was recommended by Concubine Xian.

It was midnight and Ling Yunche just felt a little tired. Plus the light was dim, he wanted to move his feet a little to refresh himself.

Unexpectedly, there was a slippery stone next to his feet. He stepped on it and fell down because he didn't stand firmly.

The snacks that Concubine Xian personally gave him in his arms were squeezed out and scattered all over the floor.

Jinzhong heard the noise, rushed over, stepped on the pastries, and crushed them into mud.

Ling Yunche's gloomy face twitched, and he felt that he had wasted Concubine Xian's kindness.

At this time, Jinzhong still refused to give in. He stood in front of him, looking down at him with a bit of sneer and contempt, and accused him, "Why are you here again?"

Then he was told to get up quickly and not to lie at the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which was embarrassing, and then this bunch of people had to be cleaned up.

Ling Yunche wanted to explain that there was a reason, but Jinzhong came too quickly and left too quickly.

It seemed as if he rushed out just to scold him.

Then Jinzhong's mood visibly improved.

Ling Yunche knew that he had become Jinzhong's punching bag. In the palace, there were clear class distinctions. Although he was a royal guard, his family background was very ordinary. It was no wonder that Jinzhong took out his anger on him.

Haha, if he wants to vent his anger on others, just pick anyone who is in the upper three flags. Does he dare to do that?

Ling Yunche just rubbed his aching leg and tried to look for the stone that had caused the trouble, but he found nothing.

It was as if everything was just his illusion.

*Eternal Spring Palace

It's been hot in recent days, so the time for paying respects has been changed from every day to once every three days. This is because Langya is considerate of the sisters to keep in the sun, so she wants to discourage everyone from going out in the sun.

Everyone sat down. Yan Wan was wearing a very gorgeous outfit today, a rose-red gauze dress with flowers and birds on it, and a ruby ​​hairpin on her head.

Concubine Jia, Concubine Mei and Concubine Ling were sitting together. At a glance, their clothes and people were all beautiful and dazzling, like a row of red roses blooming there.

On the other side, there is the plain Hailan, which means joy and gentleness. Just like the first blooming spring flowers, fresh and pleasant.

Langya sat at the top, wearing a bright yellow dress that only the queen could wear, embroidered with a phoenix perched on a phoenix tree branch.

Glancing at the crowd below, I saw only clusters of flowers and a sea of ​​young and beautiful faces.

Langya smiled generously and gracefully. She did not mind that the concubines were beautiful and favored. On the contrary, she knew that only in this way could she serve the emperor better.

As long as no one interferes and covets her throne as queen, that's all.

Among all the flowers, she is the only peony, the emperor's legal wife. This is Langya's confidence.

But when she looked to the front right, she saw a yellow-green figure that looked like dead grass standing there. Langya took a deep breath and controlled herself not to care.

"Concubine Jia, how are you feeling recently? You are getting older, so you need to be more careful. There is no need to pay your respects to me in the future, so as to avoid getting a heat stroke." Langya smiled at Concubine Jia.

"Thank you, Queen." Jin Yuyan smiled and rubbed her belly, "I'm so embarrassed."

"It's okay. You are pregnant with a dragon fetus, which is already hard. The emperor is also very concerned about your pregnancy." Langya turned her head and looked at Yanwan.

"I heard that Concubine Ling has been very interested in poetry recently. I have here an authentic work of Nalan Xingde, the 'Mulanhua: An Imitation of Ancient Poems to Send to Friends' written by him, and a collection of Nalan's poems." When Langya said this, Lianxin presented her with an exquisite brocade box.

Yan Wan nodded, her eyes sparkling, and she replied happily, "Thank you, Queen. I will definitely taste it carefully."

Langya smiled again, praising Yanwan for her eagerness to learn, and encouraged the sisters to learn and make great progress.

Ruyi could see Yanwan's face by slightly turning her head, especially the ostentatious plum blossom hairpin on Yanwan's head, which made her feel a little suffocated.

She already knew that Concubine Ling was learning poetry, and she and Yihuan were the only ones in the palace who were proficient in poetry and literature. In addition, there was the red plum hairpin on Wei Yanwan's head.

The meaning is self-evident.

Isn't this just imitating her?

She loved red plum blossoms, so Wei Yanwan wore a red plum blossom on her head; she loved poetry, so Wei Yanwan eagerly learned poetry to attract the emperor's attention.

But today the Queen praised Wei Yanwan for her progress, simply because she noticed that Wei Yanwan was imitating her and was deliberately encouraging her.

However, not all imitations have good results.

Ruyi looked at Yanwan meaningfully, her eyes lightly sweeping across the translucent red plum hairpin on her head, revealing a mysterious smile.

She didn't want to point out this little thought, but just reminded her earnestly, "Princess Ling has such a keen heart to learn, but her efforts must be put in the right place."

Ruyi looked at Yanwan indifferently, the smile on her face became more kind, and her eyes were full of insight as if she saw through everything.

Yan Wan smiled politely and said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian."

There was a hint of teasing in Ruyi's words. She looked at the young face that was somewhat similar to her own, and said calmly, "Don't you think Concubine Ling doesn't like red plum blossoms? Why did you wear a plum blossom hairpin today?"

Yan Wan then looked at her straight in the eye, and saw that there was a small jade hairpin on Ruyi's head, which was carved into the shape of a plum blossom and had silver light on the edge.

She raised her hand to stroke the golden tassel of the hairpin on her head, and said with a bit of distress, "My love for plum blossoms is just like that of ordinary people. I just think it is beautiful. I am not as noble as Concubine Xian, who understands the nobility of plum blossoms."

Before Ruyi could rejoice at Wei Yanwan's flattery, she saw her pretending to be nice, and smiled sideways at her and said, "It's just that the emperor likes me to wear a plum blossom hairpin."
