When Ruyi was carried back to Yiku Palace, Qiuwen and Sanbao were eating the osmanthus cake sent by Sister Lingzhi.

During the days when Ruyi was away, after finishing their work, the two of them would lie on the stone table in the yard to bask in the sun.

The leading female lead shouted loudly: "The noble lady Xian from the Yikun Palace has fainted and has been carried back to the palace. All outsiders, please leave."

If it weren't for the big fuss created by the people from Changyin Pavilion, they would have forgotten that Yikun Palace had a master.

Ruyi woke up slowly while lying on the bed, opened one eye first, and looked around to see if the young actress was still there.

After making sure Xiaodan was gone, she pursed her lips and was about to speak, only to find that her throat was sore and her voice came out in a hissing tone.

"Qiu Wen!"

Seeing Qiu Wen coming over, she blinked quickly and signaled Qiu Wen to ask for the imperial physician.

In the Imperial Medical Bureau, a game of chess started as usual. This time, Doctor Qi Ru pretended to be asleep, so it became a competition between Jiang Yebi and Doctor Bao.

In the end, after a fierce battle of scissors, bag and hammer, Doctor Jiang was defeated.

In Yikun Palace, Imperial Doctor Jiang finished his diagnosis and said with his eyes downcast:

"Lady Xian has overused her voice, and her qi and blood are hot and dry, and she has a cough with phlegm. She should drink more honey water and pear soup, talk less, and just rest with her mind."

Ruyi stared at Jiang Yubin suspiciously. She didn't believe that she could get better without taking medicine. She endured the pain in her throat and said word by word:

"Doctor Jiang, you have to do your best to treat me. Use whatever medicine you need to use. Don't be reluctant."

Jiang Yubin frowned and asked, "Lady Xian, what do you mean by taking the right medicine? Is it a joke to take medicine when seeing a doctor? If it's not the medicine I want to take, should I not use it? I really don't understand what you are saying."

Ruyi wanted to explain, but her throat hurt so much that she could only stare at Jiang Yubin with her mouth puffed out.

Jiang Yubin refused to admit defeat and glared back.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Finally, Qiu Wen said, "Doctor Jiang, please don't bother with our master. Just prescribe some throat soothing medicine so that you can report back."

Jiang Yubin then took his leave and asked Qiuwen to go with him to get the medicine.

Ruyi leaned on the couch sadly. The carved mandarin duck pattern on the headboard was so dazzling. She said to Sanbao beside her:

"Although the young actresses in Changyin Pavilion spoke ill of me, the emperor's indifference was more like a dose of arsenic that killed me."

Sanbao felt that his master's words were like a patchwork of words, without any logic. He turned his head and said with disdain:

"Master, if you don't know what to say, don't say it. I won't understand you even if you say it."

Ruyi raised her head, enduring the pain in her throat alone...

On April 17th, the Empress Dowager's Centenary Festival, Ruyi, who was still recuperating, did not attend.

On this day, more than a dozen princes, princesses and grandchildren came together to congratulate the empress dowager on her birthday, wishing the old ancestor a long and healthy life.

The Emperor also brought Hong Zhou and Fu Heng to imitate Lao Lai Zi in dressing up in colorful clothes to entertain his parents in order to make the Empress Dowager smile.

Fu Heng was hesitant and unwilling, but Hong Zhou was extremely enthusiastic. He even suggested that his family's drum band also play some instruments and sing, which won the emperor's critical approval.

The final show was the Hundred Flowers Presenting Birthday Ceremony which had been rehearsed for two months.

All the women were wearing green dance skirts, holding flowers and swaying in the air, finally gathering together to form a Chinese character for longevity. The most eye-catching one was a woman in light blue clothes.

In her hand, she held a lotus flower.

The Queen Mother became interested in this woman and asked Fujia to bring her to the table.

Wang Fuzhi presented lotus flowers on behalf of everyone, with a clear voice.

"I heard that the Queen Mother likes lotus flowers. People in the world praise the lotus flowers for their purity, but I think the lotus flowers' Buddha nature is the most suitable for the Queen Mother."

These words touched the Empress Dowager's heart deeply. On her birthday that year, she had seen a pond full of lotus flowers in the Old Summer Palace.

She narrowed her eyes, smiled softly and said, "You're right, reward!"

The emperor also took a closer look at the woman and found her to be truly beautiful and refined.

Wang Fuzhi accepted the reward, thanked the emperor respectfully, and left the table with everyone else, leaving only the faint fragrance of lotus for the emperor to savor.

Seeing the emperor's lustful eyes, Jin Yuyan and Wei Yanwan both thought of Hai Lan's words.

The emperor's recent hobbies have become increasingly unconventional. From paying attention to Tian Yuner to paying attention to this little girl, the emperor has become more and more fond of novelty.

Both of them tried hard to hide the contempt on their faces, but Hai Lan simply stopped pretending and said that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the palace to rest.

After the Qianqiu Banquet, the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, and the figure of the woman just now still reappeared before his eyes.

He smacked his lips and said to Jinzhong, "Jinzhong, do you feel that the woman holding the lotus today has some of the flavor of Concubine Ling?"

Jinzhong tilted his head and stared at the emperor blankly, seemingly puzzled and bewildered.

In his heart, Concubine Ling was a fairy from heaven, who could never be compared to those mediocre women.

But when the words came to his lips, he lowered his head and said:

"Your Majesty, I was so busy serving you that I didn't even dare to look at what the girl looked like. But I guess since you said she looked like Concubine Ling, she must be pretty."

The emperor laughed. Jinzhong always spoke so flawlessly, which made him very likable. No wonder he promoted Jinzhong to be the chief steward among the three people in front of the emperor.

The emperor smiled and said, "Come on, accompany me to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Ling and the Seventh Princess."

In Yikun Palace, Ruyi was sitting on a chair in the courtyard without saying a word.

Qin Li replanted osmanthus, sycamore and peony bushes in the Yikun Palace. He also cleaned out the small pond and transplanted lotus flowers. The Yikun Palace finally had some life.

Correspondingly, after obtaining permission from the Emperor and the Empress, Qin Li assigned two more people to the Yikun Palace to specifically take care of the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard.

It was Wang Fuzhi and another girl named Amber.

When Ruyi saw the two men, her eyes lit up, thinking that they were sent by the emperor to serve her.

Especially the one called Fuzhi, she had a pair of eyes that could captivate souls, and the movement of her eyes could make people indulge in them.

Ruyi looked at the two people in front of her. They were so tender that water could be squeezed out of them. She unconsciously glared at them with her wrinkled eyes, wanting to intimidate them.

Unexpectedly, after Wang Fuzhi and the other person finished their greetings, they went to move their things into the wing room.

Wang Fuzhi's original words were:

"I am here to take care of the flowers and plants, not to take care of you, please don't get me wrong."

Ruyi felt depressed. She didn't expect that a little palace maid would dare to disobey her.

He should be strangled immediately.

After Wang Fuzhi and Amber made the bed, she sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the side hall diagonally opposite through the hole in the window paper.

Sister, now I am coming to her, I will start from her side and step on her step by step.

Wang Fuzhi smiled brightly, which made Amber's heart melt.

On the other hand,惢心 also found out that A Ruo's sister had lived in the Wang family under a false name for ten years, and finally entered the palace under the name of Wang Fuzhi.

She thought about it again and again, changed into the clothes of a lady of honor, handed the name card to the palace, and decided to tell Concubine Jia.

After hearing what惢心 said, Jin Yuyan couldn't help but be shocked. She also understood in her heart that Wang Fuzhi must have done it on purpose at the Qianqiu Banquet that day.

From then on, Jin Yuyan and Wang Fuzhi had an unspoken secret.

Outside the palace, at Rong's house, Xiao Lingzi made a surprising discovery...
