Lu Muping walked quickly to the main hall. She had just slipped out to get her iron spoon.

If she couldn't persuade Concubine Xian who was as stubborn as a dead donkey, how could she not defeat her?

But Mu Ping didn't expect that Yongji would turn back halfway, and Ruyi would use Sheng'en to threaten Yongji again.

Mu Ping's eyes were red. She threw the iron spoon at Ruyi's shoulder and threw her down.

"Lady Xian, do you think Yongji is willing to be born in your belly? If he had a choice, he would not want you to be his biological mother."

Ruyi felt dizzy and miserable. In this harem, the empress dowager slapped her in the face, E Yinzhu beat her, Wang Fuzhi bullied her, and even Lu Muping dared to kill her.

But Yongji, her own son, remained indifferent. Ruyi's heart was cold, as if she was in an ice cellar.

Yongqi raised his head from Yihuan's arms, grabbed the corner of Lu Muping's clothes, and asked while sobbing:

"Mother, what should I do? How can I repay her kindness? That year in the enclosure, I shot the assassin to death with an arrow. I thought I had repaid her, but it seems to be useless. I can't get out..."

Lu Muping squatted down, looked at Yongji tenderly, and stroked his head.

"Yongji, you've done very well. I heard from my mother that even though she gave birth to you, your life should not be controlled by her. The best way to leave her is to ignore her."

Lu Muping hugged Yongji into her arms, "Yongji, it's a good thing that you want to repay your mother's kindness, but it doesn't mean that you have to live under her shadow. You still have your mother, right?"

Yongqi leaned on Lu Muping's shoulder and gradually calmed down.

Ruyi endured the severe pain in her shoulders and head and asked:

"Princess Qing, you are trying to sow discord between me and Yongqi again. What is your intention?"

Lu Muping looked directly into Ruyi's resentful eyes without any fear.

"Lady Xian, you have understood today that there is no need to sow discord between you and Yongji, because you no longer have any relationship."

Lu Muping turned around and ordered the palace servants, "Come here, carry Concubine Xian out and throw her on the palace road, and pass on my order that Concubine Xian is not allowed to set foot in Chengqian Palace again."

The palace maids behind were already eager to try, and Ruyi was just lifted up by the head and feet and thrown out.

At this point, Ruyi has been listed as an absolutely forbidden person by Chuxiu Palace and Chengqian Palace.

Lu Muping even specially invited the Fifth Prince from the Yanx Palace and the Sixth Prince from the Zhongcui Palace to come over, begging them to take good care of Yongqi when they were in the Xiefang Hall and the Shangshufang.

The Fifth Prince hugged Yongqi and assured him, "Don't worry, Empress Qing, I will always be with the Twelve Prince."

After Ruyi was driven out of Chengqian Palace, she went to Jingren Palace in a panic to complain to Han Xiangjian.

After Han Xiangjian expressed her sympathy, she comforted him lightly:

"Lady Xian, don't force the mother-child relationship too much. I think it's the same whether there is a child or not."

Ruyi was heartbroken and secretly hated Han Xiangjian for not understanding the pain of separation between mother and son. She was so sad, but Han Xiangjian was still indifferent.

Han Xiangjian seemed to suddenly remember something and asked:

"Lady Xian, why haven't you brought me chicken soup recently? I think the pheasant soup tastes really good."

On the other hand, Fu Cha Langya has never forgotten the life-saving grace that mother Yan Wan had given to her baby.

The emperor came to Changchun Palace to ask about the health of Yonghuang and Yongzhang. After Fu Cha Langya answered carefully, she mentioned the contribution of her mother Yanwan.

The emperor was worried that after injuring his two sons last time, many concubines had private complaints against him. This opportunity was a good opportunity to ease the relationship with the harem.

Concubine Ling had always been his favorite, but the position of noble concubine had been filled and there was no further promotion to her, so he could only try his best to increase Concubine Yan's share and reward her offspring.

So the emperor ordered that if Concubine Ling gave birth to another princess, she would still be named Princess Gulun, and if it was a prince, he would be granted the title of prince.

Being given a title before birth was a great blessing from heaven, which immediately caused a huge stir.

But soon after, the court and the harem were shocked by even bigger news.

In the past few months, the emperor was rejected many times by Han Xiangjian, but the emperor became more and more courageous, and his interest in Han Xiangjian reached its climax.

The Baoyue Tower, which took four months to build, was finally completed. The emperor was ready to give Han Xiangjian a surprise.

On this day, all the concubines were invited to Baoyue Tower to serve as a foil, and everyone watched the emperor's one-man show with cold eyes.

Baoyue Tower rises from the ground in the harem, divided into two floors, with red walls and yellow glazed tiles on the outside, but the interior is decorated with Han style.

Even after seeing countless treasures, the luxurious furnishings in Baoyue Tower are still breathtaking. Even the two glazed palace lanterns above the head use the blue-burning technique.

Not to mention the auspicious red gold stove with dragon and phoenix patterns placed on the large rosewood carved imperial table and every intricately carved cloud and dragon pattern brick on the wall.

Even Lu Muping was whispering to Yihuan.

"Yihuan, the emperor must have moved all his private vaults to Baoyue Tower. The Imperial Household Department doesn't have these things in there. I'm really surprised."

Yi Huan looked up at the tasseled lantern above her head, casting mottled light and shadows through the dense red satin. She shook her head and said:

"What is there to envy? It's just a more exquisite bird cage. The Qifu Temple in the distance is more like an object to amuse birds."

Wang Fuzhi spoke at the right time, smiling and saying to the ladies:

"Why is there no sign of our emperor? Could it be that he is having a tryst with Princess Xiangjian?"

E Yinzhu on the side was almost bored to death. She looked around, hoping it would end soon. She also wanted to go back and make pottery with Jing Si.

Suddenly, she pointed at a man in Han tribe clothing in the distance and shouted in surprise:

"Look, that's an emperor eel!"

Soon after, Han Xiangjian also arrived late, wearing a gorgeous pink Han tribe dress, and walked into the crowd.

Behind her, Ruyi's eyes were almost filled with jealousy. The emperor actually showed such great favor to Han Xiangjian.

It turns out that Han Xiangjian seemed to be obedient on the surface, but in fact she had been seducing the emperor for a long time.

Ruyi said to Fucha Langya:

"Empress, the emperor actually disregarded everything and wore clothes from the Han tribe. If this gets out, it will really damage his reputation. You are the queen, you should advise the emperor."

Fucha Langya frowned. Was Ruyi adjusting her tactics? Knowing that it was useless for her to say anything, she began to encourage her. However, with everyone here today, if she spoke up to advise, it would be a loss of face for the emperor.

E Yinzhu just wanted to end it quickly, less trouble is worse than more, she said loudly:

"Lady Xian, please shut up. How can wearing different clothes damage your reputation? The emperor even wore a Mongolian robe when he went hunting with Mulan."

At this time, the emperor came up with a smile. Han Xiangjian turned around and was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the emperor could do this. She asked:

"Your Majesty, why are you dressed like a man from my Han tribe?"

The emperor walked to Xiangmian with a breeze, like a peacock seeking a mate.

"Xiang Jian, since you are unwilling to become my woman and change your attire first, I will change into a man of the Han tribe for you first."

The emperor was confident that he would look more handsome than Han Qi if he wore the clothes of the Han tribe.

Han Xiang saw that his gaze lingered on the emperor for a while, then turned away.

The emperor was not discouraged. He clapped his hands gently. In front of Baoyue Tower, a group of old and young women and children, also wearing Han tribe costumes, ran out, knelt down downstairs, and shouted, "Long live the emperor."

The people upstairs looked at each other, and no one understood how so many people could suddenly pour into the heavily guarded palace.

Han Xiangjian opened her eyes wide, and she shouted in pain, "Why did you enter the palace? Go back to Hanbu."

An old woman spoke joyfully below: "The emperor sent people to help our Han tribe rebuild our homes, and also brought those of us with poor health to the capital to live in the Qifu Temple. This is a great favor!"

Han Xiangjian covered her mouth, turned back and asked the emperor angrily: "Are you using my people to threaten me?"

The emperor's eyes were filled with lust and complacency. He pointed at the Qifu Temple and said:

"Aren't you dissatisfied with the Qifu Temple? I asked the Empress Dowager, and she said it was about imitation rather than truth. You must miss your people more, so I brought them to the capital to accompany you. They are in poor health, and the capital is more suitable for them to live in. Why, are you still not satisfied?"

Han Xiangjian hated the Queen Mother again. She didn't understand why the people in the palace forced her again and again.

Han Xiangjian looked down at her own people. They were full of admiration and worship for her, and she must not let them down.

She replied coldly: "Satisfied."

The emperor laughed loudly, "Xiangjian, then you accept me, right? Then I will make you my Rong Guiren, and Baoyue Tower and Jingren Palace will all belong to you."

E Yinzhu was laughing behind him. It was finally over and he could go back to accompany Jingsi.

The emperor saw E Yinzhu was laughing happily, so he stroked his beard and asked, "Why is Concubine Yu so happy?"

E Yinzhu thought, she couldn't say that she was in a hurry to go home, so she glared and asked:

"Because I don't understand what Rong means, I would like to ask the Royal Eel."

The emperor's eyes were full of affection. He looked at Han Xiangjian and said:

"The so-called tolerance means that you all have to tolerate Rong Guiren!"
