Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Jia Ling's Double Rebirth, Creates a Great Success

Ruyi was touched by the emperor's warmth and pouted coquettishly:

"Your Majesty, I like plum blossoms. I like their noble character that does not follow the worldly trend. Today, Concubine Ling and the others used plum blossoms to compete for your favor, which actually tarnished the plum blossoms. She is not a person who truly loves plum blossoms."

Jin Yuyan snorted coldly: "As for character, everything in the world has character, but does everyone's love for flowers have to be related to its character and spirit? Can't we be happy because of its blooming posture, and have a special liking for it because of its strong or light fragrance?

Lady Xian insists on emphasizing the purity of the plum blossom, but she is just using the plum blossom to show how different you are! You are noble and great, so even this flower belongs to you alone."

The emperor also said: "What Concubine Jia said is right. Ruyi, do you really like plum blossoms, or do you like the meaning that literati have given to plum blossoms?"

Yan Wan also looked at him with a sharp gaze: "Noble Lady Xian, you use plum blossoms to gain fame and reputation, but you say that I and Concubine Qing use plum blossoms to compete for favor. Isn't that ridiculous?"

Ruyi glanced at everyone present. They were all standing against her and wanted to be her enemy, including Yongqi in Lu Muping's arms, who was also looking at her with strange eyes.

She felt sad and pouted, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you going to take away even my favorite plum blossoms?"

Fu Cha Langya and the Emperor, the couple who were named, looked at each other. The plum blossoms grow between heaven and earth, and are everywhere. How can they take them away?

The emperor's good mood disappeared, and he gradually became annoyed: "Lady Xian, please stop talking. I see that you are pregnant. You should go back to the courtyard and rest."

When Ruyi heard that the emperor wanted to drive her away, she felt humiliated again. She was eager to restore her face and establish her own prestige.

Seeing Yongji still nestling in Lu Muping's arms, Ruyi's breathing suddenly became rapid. In this world, no one can be away from her, but Yongji cannot.

He was the child she had given birth to after two days and two nights, and he was the one she had saved with her perfectly prepared sour dried apricots and fresh and spicy food.

She stood up and stretched out her hand, which was covered with armor and a ring, to Yongji, saying in a serious tone: "Yongji, you must be sleepy. Come back with mother."

Yongqi has not returned to Yikun Palace for more than a year and has not stayed with Ruyi.

He got used to the fragrant and soft quilts prepared for him by Empress Qing, the steaming milk and cakes every night, and the touching bedtime stories.

Empress Qing of Chengqian Palace is sunny and cheerful.

The mother of Yikun Palace smells damp and cold.

Yongqi looked back at Empress Qing's gentle gaze, and then saw his mother's cold, resentful expression. He felt a surge of fear in his heart, and shook his head:

"Mother, Yongji is not sleepy. Yongji wants to accompany the Royal Madam and Royal Father. Queen Qing will take her son to rest."

Lu Muping also said: "Lady Xian, Yongqi has been staying with me for several months, and the emperor has agreed, so don't force him."

Ruyi glared at Lu Muping, thinking that Concubine Qing was provoking her.

This was a blatant declaration of her son's sovereignty, and it was taking away everything from her.

Ruyi reached out and grabbed Yongqi's arm and pulled him away, then spoke to the emperor at the top:

"Your Majesty, Yongji is sleepy. I will take him back to bed. I will take my leave now."

Yongqi struggled hard, grabbed Qingpin's sleeve with his other hand, and said in a hoarse voice as if asking for help:

"Empress Qing, I don't want to leave. I don't want to leave."

Seeing this, Ruyi pulled Yongqi out even harder and turned back to ask Lingzhi for help.

Lu Muping stood up and held Yongqi in her arms.

"Lady Xian, let go, you scared the twelfth prince."

This time, the quarrel once again interrupted the emperor who was drinking with the queen, and everyone at the table was watching this farce.

The emperor put down his wine glass and shook his head. "Stop it. It's not right to pull and tug in public. Ruyi, I want you to leave. Why are you still here?"

Ruyi still held Yongji's clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I want to take Yongji back, but Qingpin won't let go. Yongji is your son and mine, what does it have to do with her?"

The emperor looked at Ruyi's belly. If Ruyi was not pregnant, he really wanted to put her under house arrest and send her back to the capital overnight.

It was his idea to let Concubine Qing take care of Yongqi. In the past few months, Yongqi has been obviously more cheerful than before.

As a father, he saw it all and Concubine Qing really loved this child.

The Queen Mother also said: "Emperor, look at Ruyi's crazy behavior today. Yongqi will be tortured like this every day if he is raised by her. Can you bear it?"

The Queen Mother picked up the pink lotus on the Emperor's table and said, "Bend your head and play with the lotus seeds. The lotus seeds are as clear as water. If you really have love for your son, then you should allow Yongqi to have a peaceful childhood."

The emperor nodded and looked at Ruyi coldly: "The palace has had the rule of exchanging children for adoption since ancient times. I have said before that if you are pregnant, Yongji will be raised by Concubine Qing. It seems that you have forgotten. I will say it again today. Concubine Qing will be Yongji's adoptive mother from now on."

Ruyi widened her eyes and took a step back, looking unconvinced:

"Your Majesty, Yongqi was born through great pains, how could I give him to someone else? Wouldn't this separate us, mother and son?"

Lu Muping comforted Yongqi, and seeing Ruyi's excitement, she also said:

"Lady Xian, Yongji is here with me. I'm not stopping you from seeing him. If you miss him, you can come and see him anytime. Or if he goes to Xiefang Palace someday, you can go and visit him."

Ruyi's eyebrows were cold, her breathing was uneven, and even her nostrils were dilated because of anger:

"If I am like everyone else, I can only visit you when I want to die forever, and I can't be your only mother, then what's the point?"

After hearing this, everyone present thought that Ruyi was simply crazy.

This remark was no different from her earlier argument about her love for plum blossoms.

Hai Lan looked at him for a long time and asked, "When I was pregnant with the Fifth Prince, Concubine Xian also said that she would help me raise him. Why can't she do that to you now?"

Jin Yuyan also said, "Oh, what Concubine Xian said is true. My princes are also raised by Concubine Wan and me. The children are very close to me and her. What's more, the children in the harem are all the emperor's children. No matter which concubine they are, they will love them as their own children. Why is Concubine Xian unwilling?"

Yongqi, who was buried in Lu Muping's arms, raised his head slightly, his face full of confusion, and whispered: "Mother, during the time my son was in Xiefang Palace and with Empress Qing, have you ever thought of me? Why didn't you come to see me?"

When Ruyi heard Yongqi's questioning, the corners of her mouth trembled, she felt heartbroken, and her bulging belly also felt a little painful.

"Yongji, are you blaming mother? Mother didn't visit you because she wanted you to come back to her faster."

Yongqi shook his head and choked up, saying, "No, I've been waiting for a year. Every day, I look at the peach tree outside the window of Xiefang Palace. It has grown from a dead tree to full of flowers. The flowers withered and shed, and then luxuriant leaves grew. The leaves fell and then it was full of fruits. I kept waiting like this, until the fruits fell, and then it became a dead tree again. My mother still hasn't come."

Yongqi's eyes were blurred with tears. Although he paused several times, he remained calm. Only Lu Muping, who was holding him, felt Yongqi's trembling: "Mother, how long will Yongqi have to wait?"

Ruyi held her stomach. Facing Yongji's words, she didn't know what to say to make Yongji understand her. He had been instigated by Concubine Qing to become a completely ruthless person.

Ruyi pointed at Yongji and said, "I am your mother, you cannot question me like this. Yongji, you are so ignorant today, you are not worthy to be my child. I will give birth to another smart prince, and I will never let him be like you!"

As soon as the words came out, there was a bang...
