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

Hailan smiled with relief, looking at her holy and beautiful sister. Although her sister was frightened, she still cared about others, "I'm glad that my sister is okay."

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, the Queen just said a few words of comfort and left with Concubine Mei and Concubine Ling.

*Qixiang Palace

Concubine Jia invited the emperor to come over and sit down, and the two of them talked about praying for blessings and whether they should meet with the master often.

The emperor became suspicious and thought of the hands of Ruyi and Master Anji touching each other. He felt dissatisfied, so he asked Li Yu to invite the queen over and then bring Ruyi to Qixiang Palace for questioning.

Ruyi and Concubine Jia each bowed, and then Ruyi sat below the Queen.

"I haven't seen Concubine Jia for a few days. You are about to give birth, so you should be careful when traveling." Ruyi had a calm smile on her face and spoke with concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian. As long as no one accidentally says a few words at the door of my palace, I believe nothing will happen." Concubine Jia raised one corner of her mouth with a sneer on her face.

"Okay, Concubine Xian, I want to ask you, have you been going to Anhua Palace to pray every day in recent days?" Langya stopped the verbal confrontation between the two and asked directly.

Ruyi's eyebrows raised slightly, her face was stunned, and she turned to look at the emperor.

The emperor was holding a bowl of ice drink, tasting it with a spoon attentively without looking up.

Seeing that Hongli was unwilling to speak, Ruyi turned her head and looked at the queen, "Replying to the queen, I am following the emperor's order to pray sincerely for the Jinchuan war, so I often go to Anhua Hall to pray and send some prayer flags and copied scriptures that I made by myself."

Ruyi answered indifferently, slightly emphasizing the word "personally" in her words to show her sincerity.

"Besides, Master Anji has profound cultivation and it is rare for him to enter the palace. I also want to take this opportunity to cultivate more blessings for the people."

Ruyi added that this was a complete selfless act that she was doing for the peace of the world.

"I have also copied scriptures for the baby in my belly and asked Jeong-sook to take them to Anhua Palace and ask the master to recite them to bring more blessings to the child." Jin Yuyan said sincerely.

She first agreed that praying was the right thing to do, but then immediately changed her tone, "Although the master is a Buddhist, he is still an outsider after all. I always remember that I am the emperor's concubine, so I have never entered in person."

"Sister Noble Concubine Xian is so sincere that I cannot compare to her." Concubine Jia had a dejected look on her face as she gently stroked her belly.

Langya advised, "Empress Jia, you are pregnant with a dragon baby and are about to give birth. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger. Writing is more difficult than for ordinary people. If you have this intention, you don't have to stick to the formalities."

After comforting Concubine Jia, Langya asked Ruyi in a stern voice, "Concubine Xian, I heard that you go to Anhua Palace in person every morning and evening. Is this true?"

"Yes, I think being more pious will help me pray for a better war." Ruyi's eyes were evasive. She expected that Concubine Jia and the Queen had put her here to make use of this issue.

"It seems that Concubine Xian's piety touched the master, which made the master feel that you are different from others. He specially gave you some handmade incense and bracelets."

Concubine Jia said this slowly, and Ruyi's face immediately changed color.

The emperor had finished the ice drink in the bowl and placed the bowl on the table with a sound that struck Ruyi's heart.

Ruyi tried to smile appropriately, her eyes showing doubt, "What bracelet?"

"The master did give me a box of incense and a bronze incense burner. He also mentioned that if I want to have great blessings, I can ask for a bracelet." Ruyi explained.

"But I am the emperor's concubine, and considering this matter, I did not want the bracelet. I just accepted the incense and the incense burner, and thought about praying for the world." Ruyi looked at the emperor, looked at him, and said very sincerely.

After hearing what Ruyi said, the emperor felt hot on his head and annoyed. He was angry at Ruyi for not abiding by the rules of a concubine and for being so presumptuous as to dare to accept gifts from a man outside her family.

Where does this put him?

The emperor suddenly swung the fan and fanned himself.

Langya's face looked very bad. The emperor was angry, and she was also angry with Ruyi.

Although Ruyi is a noble concubine, she repeatedly does such suggestive things. The emperor can only think that it is because she, the queen, has failed to discipline her well.

Why is Concubine Xian so restless?

Where did Ulanara's former upbringing go? She had completely forgotten the "Rules for Women" and "Instructions for Women" that women should have read in the past?

"Noble Concubine Xian, you are really good at avoiding the important issues." Jin Yuyan stopped listening to Ruyi's explanation and called out Zhenshu to present the evidence.

Zhenshu carefully held a tray and said that she accidentally saw Concubine Xian and Master Anji behaving intimately, and the master gave Concubine Xian a box of incense and an incense burner.

Zhenshu looked at Ruyi's cold gaze and hesitated a little, but still said that she saw with her own eyes the master put the bracelet on Concubine Xian.

This is a token of their love.

Ruyi's face showed the sadness caused by being framed. She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I have never seen such a thing."

"I got this bracelet together with this piece of paper." Concubine Jia raised her head and gestured, and Zhenshu came closer and placed both items in front of Ruyi.

"The emperor and I have already seen it, Concubine Xian, please take a closer look." Langya said expressionlessly.

Ruyi opened it and found a poem written by a woman expressing her love for her lover. There was also a line at the bottom asking her to pass it on to惢心 and meet in a side hall of Yikun Palace.

"This plum blossom gold paper is only for use in the Yikun Palace, because Concubine Xian loves plum blossoms the most in her life." Concubine Jia looked contemptuous, "I wonder if the handwriting on it is similar to Concubine Yu Xian's handwriting?"

Ruyi looked at the words on the paper carefully, and her arrogance weakened a bit. She could only admit, "This handwriting is indeed very similar to mine, but it was not written by me."

"I don't know Concubine Xian's handwriting, so I can only rely on the emperor." Concubine Jia said lightly, and the final decision was passed to the emperor.

"Since the death of Imperial Noble Consort Huixian, no one in the palace has learned Madam Wei's small regular script. Only Imperial Noble Consort Xian uses this font." The emperor said this, which was enough to prove that the calligraphy was from Imperial Noble Consort Xian's hand.

Ruyi was very smart. She thought quickly and looked for loopholes in Concubine Jia's words. She immediately asked, "If this is a token of love, why is it here? Why did Concubine Jia get it? Why didn't the guards give it directly to the emperor, the queen, or Concubine Chun?"

"I think this is a token of a secret meeting, so he needs to hold it. I'm afraid Sanbao's shout interrupted the original plan, and he accidentally lost it in a hurry." Concubine Jia guessed.

"As for why he is here, the assassin showed up late at night. The Seventh Prince is weak, and the Empress is taking care of him personally. The guards are not allowed to disturb him, and they are afraid of disturbing his sleep."
