Ruyi was shocked by Ilari's logic. How could there be such a jealous person in the world who couldn't even tolerate a concubine.

Ilari rolled her eyes at Ruyi a few times, saying that she didn't want the face she was given and she didn't want to accept the toast.

So she went straight to Xianfu Palace with the help of the palace maid.

Ruyi looked at Ilari's nimble figure, but she herself needed someone to support her. She stamped her feet angrily and also supported Lingzhi to go to the Qianqing Palace.

When Jinzhong and Jinbao saw Concubine Xian coming, they exchanged glances and quickly returned to the wing room. Li Yu had no choice but to go up.

Ruyi smiled kindly, pouting her lips: "Li Yu, tell the emperor that I forgive him and let him see me."

Li Yu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a smile, "Lady Xian, Lady Ying and Lady Ke are serving inside. The emperor said he will not see anyone."

Ruyi became even angrier after hearing this. The emperor actually summoned two concubines to serve him in broad daylight, which was a violation of ancestral rules.

"Li Yu, go in and tell them that the emperor doesn't want to see me. I'll be waiting here."

In the inner hall, the emperor was looking at Concubine Ying and Concubine Ke playing chess. He felt drowsy, but he had to spare the energy to answer their childish questions.

The two little masters were laughing and laughing at the same time, just like two little kids.

Mao Qian watched from the side. The emperor had never been so patient in coaxing the princesses.

When the emperor heard Li Yutong say that Concubine Xian wanted to see him and had to wait outside, he turned over.

Although these two little girls are noisy here, at least they are not causing any trouble at the moment. If they go out and see Ruyi, she will definitely be angry again, so he said:

"She likes to wait, so let her stand outside and wait."

Ruyi stood outside for two hours until she could no longer bear the cold and sneezed several times. Only after Lingzhi's repeated persuasion did she return to Yikun Palace.

In Xianfu Palace, Xiyue saw Yonghuang's wife come in with red eyes. She felt so distressed that she thought Yonghuang had bullied her and was about to go and settle the score with Yonghuang.

Ilari grabbed Xiyue and told her that Concubine Xian asked her to take a concubine for Yonghuang, which made Xiyue furious.

She hasn’t settled the score with the Lotus last time, and now she’s here to mess with her beloved daughter-in-law again.

If Ruyi wasn't pregnant, she would have asked Shuangxi to slap her hard in the face.

Yes, didn’t Ruyi tell the emperor that they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives?

Why does it happen that when it comes to someone else, she has to take him as a concubine? It's disgusting to be both the boss and the queen!

But today's incident cannot be let go in vain. Xiyue suddenly had an idea and remembered what the emperor had said before, that he and the empress dowager were thinking of a way to punish a concubine of the previous emperor.

Then give Ruyi some soup. It’s just right that she gets mouth ulcers from eating spicy food, so it can help her relieve her heat.

Xiyue caught a handful of goldfish for Shuangxi, and Shuangxi happily took the order and said he would guarantee to complete the task.

In Yikun Palace, Ruyi, who had been standing for two hours, leaned on the couch and let Lingzhi massage her sore calves.

Lingzhi sighed. The master was pregnant, but she was still making such a fuss. If anything happened to the baby in her belly, wouldn't they, the servants, be the ones to be blamed in the end?

Shuangxi came to Yiku Palace, shaking his chubby body, and the eunuch behind him brought a large bowl of brown rice and barley soup.

Shuangxi knelt down flexibly, still smiling cheerfully, "Hello, Lady Xian, our Imperial Concubine heard that you were pregnant and got angry, and said some things she shouldn't have said, so, I'll reward you with brown rice and barley soup for a month."

Ruyi thought to herself that she had guessed correctly. The imperial concubine's action this time was definitely not just for Ilari, but more for the prince in her belly.

It seems that her perfect plan of marrying a sour boy and a spicy girl is very necessary. In the treacherous harem, she has to rely on her own survival wisdom to protect her children.

She snorted coldly and said with a hint of threat: "Go back and tell the imperial concubine that it's not that I want to go against her wishes, but I have an imperial heir in my belly and I can't drink anything that comes from an unknown source."

After hearing this, Shuangxi clapped his hands lightly, and Jiang Yubin, who was waiting outside, came in with small, brisk steps.

"My Lady Xian, this brown rice and barley soup was cooked by me and a few of my colleagues. There is absolutely no problem with it. The Imperial Concubine sympathized with your pregnancy and asked me to wait here. If you feel unwell, we can treat you immediately."

After Jiang Yubin finished speaking, he lowered his head and smiled. The speed with which he came to Yikun Palace this time directly stunned Lord Qi Ru.

Shuangxi asked people to put down the brown rice and barley soup, and said earnestly:

"Lady Xian, the Imperial Concubine even invited Imperial Doctor Jiang to come for you. You must not let her down. Drink it quickly."

Ruyi looked at Jiang Yubi. She was so disappointed that he had also been bribed by the imperial concubine.

Ruyi pouted and said, "Your Highness, you brought me soup without considering whether I wanted to drink it or not? I know my body very well. I am not suffering from internal heat. Why are you forcing me to drink it?"

When she pursed her lips, the ulcer at the corner of her mouth was pulled again. She covered it with her hand, and now her previous excuse was exposed.

Shuangxi still smiled and said, "Lady Xian, look, the corners of your mouth are all rotten. Drinking this brown rice and barley soup will be good for the royal heir in your belly. If you don't drink it yourself, I will help you."

Ruyi could only drink a large bowl of brown rice and barley soup under the watchful eyes of Shuangxi and Jiang Yubi.

No, to be precise, it is brown rice, coix seed and coptis root soup, in which the content of coptis root far exceeds that of brown rice and coix seed.

So much so that when Doctor Qi was counting the medicinal materials, he was secretly wondering why the Coptis chinensis in the imperial pharmacy was used up so quickly.

After Ruyi finished drinking, she frowned, threw the bowl aside, and said with her tongue sticking out:

"Go back and tell the concubine that I have finished drinking it all. There is not a drop left."

Shuangxi nodded, bowed and left, and before leaving, he did not forget to take Doctor Jiang with him.

Shuangxi went out, poked his round head out and said:

"Lady Xian, my master asked me to ask you a question. Aren't we following the Western way of practicing monogamy? How come you forget things when you get older? You can't even smell your own farts."

After saying that, Shuangxi waved his hand again and said, "I will come again tomorrow. See you later~"

Lingzhi looked at Ruyi's face, which was as stiff as a dried pancake, and asked cautiously:

"Master, after drinking this brown rice and barley soup, do you still want to eat spicy food in the evening?"

Ruyi burped and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. Put the sour apricots under the bed again tonight. I want to give my brother some extra ingredients."

Over the next month, with the efforts of the imperial concubine, Ruyi gave up eating spicy food, and the mouth ulcers gradually healed.

Cining Palace.

After pre-job training, Rong Pei is already serving the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother knew that Rong Pei was a straightforward person, so she would sometimes take her with her to burn incense and worship Buddha.

The Queen Mother thought that even if Rong Pei had many faults, she was the most useful in dealing with Ruyi.

So, the Queen Mother had an extremely powerful woman named Rong Mama by her side.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was spring, and the emperor was preparing for his southern tour.
