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

Because Ruyi was truly sincere, the emperor felt relieved.

One day, the emperor, the empress and Ruyi were praying in Anhua Hall. After they stood up, they left.

Ruyi was walking at the end, with Langya and the emperor walking side by side in front of her. Feeling jealous, she was careless for a moment, and the soles of her shoes were too high, and she stepped on the hem of her skirt. She couldn't keep her balance for a moment and almost fell.

Master Anji stood by and chanted scriptures and prayed with them. He was about to send the three nobles out when he saw that Concubine Xian was unsteady, so he reached out and supported her.

The emperor and the empress turned around and saw this scene.

Concubine Xian almost fell down, with half of her arm still supported by Master Anji's hand, and the armor on her hand pierced into Master Anji's palm.

The palace maids nearby hurriedly reached out to help, but none of them were as quick as Master Anji.

The emperor suddenly felt inexplicably unhappy. Why were you, a concubine in the harem, walking side by side with a master from outside and standing so close to him?

Even this palace maid didn't touch you, so how could a man like you happen to be the "hero who saves the beauty"? It's because you were too close.

Langya saw that the emperor frowned and was a little unhappy. She gently scolded Ruyi, "Noble Concubine Xian should also be careful and don't make the emperor worry."

Ruyi hastily withdrew her hand, looking a little embarrassed and aggrieved. She just fell accidentally and didn't do it on purpose. Was it necessary for the Queen to be so angry?

Ruyi smiled and bowed stubbornly, "Yes, I will follow the Queen's instructions."

"Alright, Concubine Xian must be tired after praying for so long, go back and rest first. The Queen and I have something else to do."

The emperor's expression was still somewhat gloomy, but he said nothing. He just glanced at the somewhat flustered Ruyi, left after saying this.

"Farewell to the Emperor, farewell to the Empress." Ruyi and Anji said together, bowed, and watched the two people leave.

Watching the two people leaving, Ruyi turned to look at Anji. Just now, the Queen and the Emperor turned around quickly and stared at her. She also had to abide by the rules of the palace, so she did not say thank you.

Ruyi was about to say something to thank her, but because she was worried about the war, she put on a light-colored lip balm, which made her look even more beautiful.

The little cherry mouth had just pursed up, and before she could utter a word, a palace maid came and knelt in front of them. She first greeted Concubine Xian and then the master.

It was Concubine Chun's maid who came to deliver the scriptures, and she interrupted Ruyi's words.

After the palace maid left, Ruyi first thanked Master Anji, who then praised her for her diligence and for coming to Anhua Palace in person every morning and evening.

After that, Master Anji gave Ruyi a handful of incense and a bronze incense burner, and said that if paired with a seven-treasure bracelet, it would be of immeasurable merit and very beneficial.

All of this was secretly seen by Zhenshu.

*The emperor and the empress took a sedan chair back to the Yangxin Palace. On the way, they saw many palace maids and eunuchs hurrying towards the Anhua Palace.

Li Yu explained that everyone knew that Master Anji had profound Buddhist knowledge, and they wanted to pray for some blessings.

Jinzhong gossiped quietly on the side, saying that Master Anji was handsome and none of his disciples were ugly. He was afraid that many palace maids were in love with him and would go to him every day just to win the master's favor.

Langya heard this and said, "Such large-scale prayers are rarely seen in the harem. Now that they are suddenly chanting sutras and praying for the war and themselves, the palace maids and eunuchs are a bit surprised."

"Don't talk nonsense." She frowned and scolded Jinzhong for his inappropriate words.

Jinzhong kept responding, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

"What Jinzhong said makes sense. Palace maids usually don't see men outside the palace. Although this master is a Buddhist, he is still a man after all. After he finishes praying, give him more incense and send him out of the palace as soon as possible."

The emperor thought about it for a while. The recent trivial matters were really annoying. He didn't want to cause any more trouble at this time. He said, "This can also avoid trouble."

The sedan chair continued to move towards the Yangxin Palace. He still had many memorials to read.

*Yikun Palace

Jiang Yebi checked Ruyi's pulse, and Ruyi joked with the two of them, saying that she would arrange a marriage for them.

This made惢心 blush, and Jiang Yebin thanked her repeatedly.

However, after expressing her gratitude, Concubine Xian did not follow up on the arrangement made for this matter.

Jiang Yubi looked excited, but he was still conscientiously taking Ruyi's pulse and conditioning her body so that she could have a prince.

He was indeed cold-hearted. He knew that Concubine Xian had no intention of letting惢心 leave the palace. She was just using惢心 to keep him hanging and to control him and Li Yu forever, so that they would work for her forever.

A few days ago, Concubine Xian was put under house arrest for talking back to the Queen. On the second day after she was released from the house arrest, he was finally able to have a good talk with惢心.

I just felt that惢心 was a little uneasy, so I asked her what was wrong.惢心 tried to be calm at first and said that everything was fine.

Later, I couldn't stand his constant questioning and his anxiety, so I finally told him.

It turned out that Concubine Xian thought that brother Jiang Fu liked惢心, so she accepted the food that Jiang Fu sent to her recently, and asked惢心 that if she liked him, she would let her marry Jiang Fu in a few years.

Marry...Jiang Fu?

What about him?

So, all the things he had done over the years to please Concubine Xian, had Concubine Xian forgotten them just because of the food?

When Jiang Yubin heard this, he was so angry that his face turned blue and black, and he felt like there was a raging fire burning in his heart.

Seeing that he was angry, Suo Xin tried to comfort him, saying, "Don't you know my feelings? Besides, Jiang Fu had no interest in me. He only gave me something because he is your friend."

"And Guard Jiang told me that you gave him many of these things in the past, so when he gave them to me, it was just like you gave them to me."惢心 thought that Jiang Yubin was feeling jealous and hurriedly explained to him.

Although Guard Jiang was magnanimous and allowed them to meet a few times, the two of them could not say much to each other during the confinement, so惢心 was afraid that he would misunderstand.

Jiang Yubin sighed. It was because Suo Xin was too loyal that she suffered so much. "Guard Jiang told me about sending you food a long time ago. I support it. The food you eat in there is not good either. It would be good for you to have some meat."

"But, you said, Concubine Xian accepted these tributes?" Jiang Yebin's face became more distorted, and he was annoyed.

"She is already a noble concubine. Even if she is under house arrest, she still eats better than you. Why does she still cling to these things that she despises?"

Suoxin lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. She just sighed and advised him not to be angry.

Jiang Yubin's anger was not directed at Suo Xin, but he felt sorry for her, so he pulled her sleeve, and when she looked up at him, he said to her,

"I don't know how much affection Concubine Xian has for you, but judging from the things that have saddened you in recent days, I'm afraid that in her heart, you are just an ordinary servant."
