Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace

The promises of emperors are the shallowest.

Even though he had promised Ruyi that he would not favor other concubines in the short term, it was just a verbal agreement.

The Forbidden City in deep winter is covered with a layer of white snow.

Concubine Ke and other young concubines were laughing and playing in the palace courtyard. They were wearing gorgeous clothes and their faces were red from the cold.

"Haha, come and build this snowman, and do some more over here."

Concubine Ke shouted happily and kept fiddling with the snowball in her hands. Several concubines next to her also joined in and were busy having a lot of fun.

The emperor was sitting under the eaves, and when he saw this lively scene, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Concubine Ke playfully acted coquettishly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you think the snowman we made is pretty?"

The emperor looked at the crooked snowman and smiled fondly, "Well, very creative."

Concubine Ke even asked the emperor to come over and put eyes on the snowman, and the emperor did as he was told.

However, these young concubines were all focused on playing, and one moment they were clamoring for milk tea and barbecue.

The emperor patiently accompanied them for a while, but soon lost interest. After all, these young concubines were too playful and seemed to lack some deep communication with the emperor.

Meanwhile, Ruyi's days were filled with excitement and anticipation. As her belly grew bigger and bigger, she carefully stroked her belly, her face filled with the glow of maternal happiness.

"Qingmei, do you think this child will be a prince or a princess?" Ruyi asked softly.

Qingmei smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, whether it is the prince or the princess, they are your treasures and will be safe and sound."

Ruyi nodded slightly, but the initial happiness was no longer on her face. Her heart was full of anticipation for the boy. She knew very well the importance of this child. He was not only her own flesh and blood, but also the key to consolidating her position in the harem.

Ruyi thought for a moment and said to Qingmei, "Please ask the emperor to come over. I have something important to discuss with him."

Qingmei took the order and left. After a while, the emperor came to Ruyi's bedroom.

Ruyi stood up and saluted, and the emperor quickly supported her, "You are heavy, no need to be polite."

Ruyi looked at the emperor gently, "Your Majesty, I am feeling increasingly unwell, and I am inevitably feeling a little uneasy. I am wondering if Your Majesty could allow my mother to come to the palace to accompany me during the birthing process."

The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "That's not impossible. I have always felt guilty about your previous loss of a child. Now that you are pregnant again, let your mother come to the palace to accompany you so that you can rest assured and take care of the baby."

A hint of surprise flashed in Ruyi's eyes, but she pretended to be reserved and declined, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it again, I am afraid this is not appropriate. How can I trouble Your Majesty to do this for my own selfish reasons?"

The emperor held Ruyi's hand and said, "You don't have to refuse. I have made the decision. You are old in the harem and have a lot of experience. If you can give birth to a child sooner, I can raise your position appropriately."

Ruyi knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no desire for the position of empress. All I want is peace and harmony in the harem. But your kindness is something I should not refuse. Now I can only thank you for your grace."

The emperor helped Ruyi up and said, "Take good care of your pregnancy. Don't worry about anything else. I will arrange everything for you."

The news soon reached Gao Xiyue.

Gao Xiyue was sitting on the warm couch with a heater in her hands. When she heard the news, she became so angry that her face turned blue.

"Ruyi actually asked her mother to enter the palace to accompany her during childbirth. She was just a concubine." Gao Xiyue gritted her teeth.

Mo Xin tried to comfort him, "Your Majesty, calm down. This is His Majesty's will anyway. Let's not get too involved."

"Perhaps Concubine Xian is giving birth to a daughter this time."

What Gao Xiyue cares about is not this, but the emperor's attitude. The empress is still in a coma, so is he so anxious to send Ruyi to the throne?

But when Gao Xiyue heard the word "daughter", her eyes lit up. "Yes, I hope Ruyi's baby is a daughter. Let's see how long she can be so proud."

But Gao Xiyue just talked about it and did not do anything substantial to cause harm.

After all, the Emperor attached great importance to Ruyi's pregnancy, so she did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, the Empress had reminded her more than once to take good care of herself.

Ruyi was happily waiting for her mother to enter the palace. She carefully decorated her bedroom in preparation for her mother's arrival.

In her eyes, no matter what, her position in the emperor's eyes is unique.

"Qingmei, clean this place again, and change the flowers in the vase over there with fresh ones." Ruyi ordered.

Qingmei responded busily, "Yes, Madam."

Finally, Ruyi's mother was successfully brought into the palace. The moment Ruyi saw her mother, her eyes were moist.

"Mother, you're here." Ruyi said excitedly.

Her mother hurried forward and bowed. Ruyi supported her, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, "My son, you have suffered."

Ruyi took her mother's hand and said, "With mother here, I feel at ease."

Ruyi took her mother into Yikun Palace, and the mother and daughter sat down and chatted about family matters.

"My queen, you must take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to a healthy child for the emperor." Ruyi's mother advised with red eyes.

Ruyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will definitely do it."

In the following days, with the company of her mother, Ruyi began to rest and take care of her pregnancy.

The emperor also often came to visit and cared about Ruyi's health.

Young concubines such as Concubine Ke were still playing in the palace. They would occasionally hear news about Ruyi, but they would just laugh it off and continue to immerse themselves in their own world of joy.

As the days passed, Ruyi's belly grew bigger and bigger, and the day of delivery was getting closer and closer.

The entire harem was filled with an atmosphere of tension and expectation.

Ruyi is well aware of the weight of her responsibility. She carefully protects the baby in her belly, looking forward to the birth of the child, which will bring new hope and vitality to the harem.

Gao Xiyue sat in her palace, holding the stove in her hands, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

She thought of how Jin Yuyan used a bellyband to deliberately frame Ruyi during the southern tour, and she felt that this woman would never give up.

Now Queen Rongyin is seriously ill and is rarely awake throughout the day.

Gao Xiyue knew very well that she was ordered to assist in managing the six palaces and she must not let Rong Yin be sad at this time.

Gao Xiyue frowned slightly and said to Mo Xin beside her, "Come on, follow me to Qixiang Palace."

Mo Xin was worried, "My queen, the one in Qixiang Palace is not easy to deal with. If you go there, I'm afraid there will be a quarrel."

Gao Xiyue snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? I am just trying to make things clear with her today."

Having said that, Gao Xiyue stood up, straightened her clothes, and headed towards Qixiang Palace with Moxin and others in a menacing manner.

When we arrived at Qixiang Palace, Jin Yuyan was lazily leaning on the couch, playing with a string of bright red agate beads in her hands.

When she saw Gao Xiyue coming in, she just raised her eyelids slightly but did not stand up to salute.

Gao Xiyue was furious when she saw this, but she suppressed her anger and said, "I came here today to discuss something important with you."

Jin Yuyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "What's the matter, Imperial Concubine? Are you here to show off your power in my Qixiang Palace?"

Gao Xiyue took a deep breath and said, "Jin Yuyan, you and I both know that the queen is seriously ill now. As concubines, we should be cautious in our words and actions so that the queen can rest and recover."

"You framed Ruyi during the southern tour. I can let you off the hook for now, but if you cause trouble again at this time, don't blame me for being rude."

Jin Yuyan sat up straight and sneered, "Are you threatening me, Your Majesty?"

Gao Xiyue glared at Jin Yuyan and said, "Just take good care of your prince. Since ancient times, the Qing Dynasty has never allowed princes born to concubines of foreign races to inherit the throne."

"Even if you really want to pave the way for your child, or want to make your position in the harem more secure, even if you just want to make Ruyi unhappy, you must not do anything inappropriate when the queen is sick."

When Jin Yuyan heard this, her face instantly turned gloomy.

She tightly grasped the agate bead in her hand, "Noble Concubine, you think too highly of yourself. Although you are now a noble concubine and have the right to assist in managing the six palaces, there is only one princess, Jingxue. If something really happened to the queen, the emperor would never let you be the queen."

Gao Xiyue was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pushed away Mo Xin who was trying to stop her, rushed to Jin Yuyan, and slapped her in the face.

"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound rang out in Qixiang Palace.

Jin Yuyan was stunned by the slap. She covered her cheek and looked at Gao Xiyue in disbelief.

Gao Xiyue glared at Jin Yuyan, "I am loyal to the Queen and have no second thoughts. You'd better keep your mouth shut. If you dare to curse the Queen, I will never let you off even if I have to risk the Emperor's punishment."

Jin Yuyan came back to her senses and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes, but she also knew that she couldn't fight Gao Xiyue head-on at this time.

She lowered her head and said, "Your Highness, please calm down. I was the one who said something wrong. I will definitely not go to Yikun Palace during this period of time."

Gao Xiyue looked at Jin Yuyan and said, "It's better to do so. I won't care about other things, but if you dare to do anything wrong and disturb the Queen's peace, I will never forgive you."

After saying that, Gao Xiyue turned around and took Mo Xin away from Qixiang Palace.

After returning to her palace, Gao Xiyue still couldn't calm down.

She sat in the chair, thinking about the argument she had just had with Jin Yuyan.

Mo Xin said cautiously, "Your Highness, you are so impulsive today. What if this gets to the Emperor?"

Gao Xiyue frowned slightly, "What are you afraid of? I am doing this for the Empress. If the Emperor wants to blame me, I will admit it."

In fact, Gao Xiyue also had a hint of worry in her heart.

She knew that her behavior today was a bit impulsive, but she really couldn't stand Jin Yuyan's arrogance.
