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

Sure enough, the emperor kicked the rude young man over and walked to the front.

"How dare you! Do you still have any heart? This girl lost her loved one, and you are adding insult to injury. You are truly a shameless person."

A hint of a triumphant smile flashed across the eyes of the young man who was kicked down, and then he rolled away tactfully. After all, he was just following orders, and there was no need to offend the real dragon emperor.

The lights were dim, the crowd was silent, and the woman in white had tears in her eyes but a stubborn smile, which made the emperor's heart as soft as the shiny and smooth water of West Lake.

So, naturally, the emperor stole the limelight in front of everyone, and Miss Xia was also invited to the teahouse box for a chat.

Xia Linglong was well-read, and had been following her father around the world on business for many years. She was accustomed to the fickleness of human nature, so it was easy for her to please the emperor.

What attracted the emperor even more was the faint sadness in Xia Linglong's body, which was forced into prostitution. It was like drops of drizzle, which touched the emperor's inner desire to protect him.

His position was stable and the Qing Dynasty was strong. Logically, no monarch in history should be happier than he was now. However, precisely because of this, he felt emotionally empty.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, some are from noble families, some are gentle and affectionate, but only Xia Linglong, who is like a frightened bird, makes him feel loved.

He wanted to love and be loved, but the Queen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Jia, Concubine Ling and Concubine Yu were all pushed further and further away by him because of his scolding of the children.

Even Shu Fei, who was once obsessed with him, had some complaints about him because he moved the people of the Han tribe to the capital as hostages.

Although Concubine Dun was always concerned about him, for some reason, every time he approached her, he could feel a little uncomfortable with her gentleness and consideration.

As for Han Xiangjian, he had lost interest in her and only saw her as a struggling bird.

So he came to Jiangnan, the unfamiliar scenery and people, and only then could he ignore everything that had happened before. From Xia Linglong, he regained the pleasure of being an admired savior.

Outside the teahouse box was the shimmering water of West Lake. The moon in the center of the lake was half submerged in the water, and the bright moonlight was reflected on the window screen, making Xia Linglong's skin look even whiter than snow.

The emperor signaled with his eyes, and Jinzhong brought a plate of silver ingots to the table.

Xia Linglong's tone was neither humble nor arrogant, which made the emperor more favorable to her.

"I am grateful for your help, but my father has just passed away, and I need to mourn for a hundred days. After a hundred days, I will stay with him. I wonder where you live and what your name is?"

One hundred days?

The emperor's breathing paused, it was interesting. Just now he had thought that this woman had bad intentions, but he didn't expect that she was as pure as a water lily.

The corners of the emperor's mouth curved upwards. If it was a hundred days, it would be time for him to return to the palace. Wouldn't it be wonderful then to bring her into the palace?

The emperor wanted to give this exquisite girl a surprise, so he spoke in a gentle tone.

"My last name is Jin, you can call me Master Jin. As for where to live, my servants will take you to bury your father. Later, I will take you to find me. Don't be scared when the time comes."

Xia Linglong's eyes were like water, and her slender hands plucked the strings of the zither again.

"Thank you, Master Jin. You are Linglong's benefactor. Linglong will keep her promise no matter what happens."

Second day

When Xia Linglong entered the palace in the black-covered carriage, Fucha Langya also learned the news. Although she was worried, she still asked Yu Hu, who was beside the emperor, a few questions.

Yu Hu said that she had followed the emperor's instructions and verified Miss Xia's identity at the local government office and her residence, and that Miss Xia was indeed a good girl with a clean background.

Fu Cha Langya thought that along the way, officials from all over the country had presented countless women to the emperor. For some of them, the emperor even only gave them the status of official women and kept them in the palaces in various places.

These women have to stay in the palace before they have the chance to blossom in their flowery years. They may never see the emperor or the outside world in their entire lives.

Now Miss Xia is also a pitiful person. She sighed and said to Yu Hu:

"Since the emperor has taken her into the palace, while he is still in high spirits, you can ask him when you are serving her what kind of status he wants to give her and whether he wants to bring her into the palace. Don't let her be forgotten in obscurity any longer."

Yu Hu nodded. The Queen Mother was kind-hearted. This sentence was equivalent to the Queen Mother confirming the identity of this woman.

In this way, any rumors among the people about the emperor's romantic affairs can also be explained by the fact that the emperor had already taken Miss Xia as his concubine.

In the temporary palace, Xingfang Palace, Xia Linglong quickly recovered from the shock of learning the emperor's identity. She bowed and expressed her regret for her previous offense.

"Linglong already felt that the emperor was a rare talent. After learning the truth today, she was even more terrified and uneasy. Linglong's previous promise of marrying him was really an offense."

The white flowers on Xia Linglong's head trembled in the wind, making people want to hold them in their hands and cherish them.

The emperor pulled Xia Linglong into his arms, looked at her panicked little face, and with a stroke of his pen, conferred the title of Concubine Fang on Xia Linglong.

"You are in mourning. I will not force you. Sing a song for me. Sing the same song you sang by the lake last night."

Xia Linglong had a delicate singing voice, and her every frown and smile was full of charm. What surprised the emperor was that Xia Linglong was also a superb dancer. When she moved her waist, she looked very different from her usual pure appearance.

Xia Linglong was dancing in white clothes, and she had the faint lotus fragrance of the Jiangnan region, which was so sweet that the emperor was unconsciously infatuated with her.

When the empress dowager learned that the emperor had a new concubine, Fang Changzai, she was silent for a while. The fact that the emperor had a favorite concubine was much better than having an affair outside.

Furthermore, weren’t Concubine Chun and Concubine Wan also women presented by the people of Jiangnan, and later given to the emperor when he was still a prince?

This was harmless, so the Queen Mother chose to stay out of it.

The Queen turned a deaf ear to it. The discord between the Emperor and the Queen was a hundred times more serious than the bad influence of the Emperor's obsession with beauty on the people. Langya could clearly tell which was more important.

There was endless singing and dancing in the Xingfang Palace; even in the middle of the night when no one was around, one could still hear the two people's laughter.

Although the emperor said that he would let Xia Linglong observe mourning, after only two days, Xia Linglong reluctantly and officially slept with him.

The young and beautiful body of the girl made the emperor feel his virility restored. With the help of Concubine Dun's chicken soup, he indulged himself under the crimson curtains of the Xingfang Palace every day.

After a few days, the emperor was no longer satisfied with the world of Xingfang Palace. He thought it would be more interesting to go boating on the lake, drink and chat with Xia Linglong.

Therefore, on this day, in order to conceal his purpose, the emperor took everyone on the imperial boat to enjoy the night view of West Lake.

Xia Linglong also tactfully expressed that the emperor had been taking cold showers to cool down after having sex every day these past few days, and his complexion had become unsatisfactory, so it would be better for him to recuperate in Xingfang Palace for a few days.

The emperor didn't care. Xia Linglong turned around and replaced the inconspicuous sachet on her waist. She took out the contents of the old sachet, brought Concubine Dun's chicken soup to the emperor.

On this day, the Qingque boat was pulled to the West Lake by nearly a thousand boat trackers, and Fucha Langya was also arranged to have another banquet with concubines and officials' families.

In the storage room inside the cabin, Da Ru was kneeling on the ground in a daze, begging Rong Pei to give her another bowl of chicken soup...
