Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 115: The Bahrain Tribe Offers a Daughter

The guards outside the door also heard the noise and were afraid that something might happen to Ruyi, so they hurriedly opened the door.

Although Hongli confined her to her quarters, she was still the queen and they dared not neglect her.

When I pushed the door open, I saw Rong Pei grabbing Ruyi's arm, and Ruyi riding on Ling Yunche and strangling his neck tightly, while Ling Yunche's face was blue and purple, as if he was about to die.

Seeing this, the guards rushed forward to help.

Ling Yunche was finally rescued from Ruyi.

Ruyi fainted from excessive emotion. After breathing in some fresh air, Ling Yunche began to cough violently, his voice intermittent, "Thank you...thank you very much...both brothers."

The guard waved his hands and said, "You're welcome."

Seeing the once high-spirited Ling Yunche become the lowest-ranking eunuch in the palace, the guards couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

She clearly had a bright future, but now she was locked up in the "cold palace" by the emperor and became a eunuch. Although Hongli forbade them to speak ill of Ruyi behind her back, everyone knew that Ruyi did not have a chronic disease, but Hongli felt that she was cuckolded, so he confined Ruyi.

At this time, Rong Pei tugged at the guard's clothes and pleaded bitterly, "Brother Guard, could you please tell the Emperor that our Queen wants to see him? Also, if possible, could you please help find out if the Twelfth Prince is doing well?"

"Please understand the feelings of a parent."

The guards looked at each other and finally agreed to try to help.

Ling Yunche was afraid that Ruyi would catch a cold, so he helped Rong Pei send Ruyi back to her room.

The Zhongcui Palace was bustling with activity, and even the sharp-tongued Yuyan went there with a gift to join in the fun.

Yuyan is dressed in red and looks gorgeous. Although she is over 40, her skin still looks as smooth as a baby's, and she looks like a girl in her early twenties.

Only Yihuan stayed quietly in Chuxiu Palace, wearing a white inner garment, sitting at the table and practicing calligraphy.

Xihe was afraid that Yihuan would not be able to support herself, so she quickly took a cloak from the hanger and put it on Yihuan. "My lady, you should take a rest. If you keep going like this, your eyes will be damaged."

Yihuan didn't care. Since she lost Yongyan, her life seemed to have lost its joy. In order to alleviate her sins, Yihuan copied Hongli's imperial poems day and night.

Xi He said, "My lady, today is a good day for the Fifth Prince to go to Zhongcui Palace. Concubine Cheng and Concubine Ling are all there, and even Concubine Jia, who always looks down on everyone, has gone to join in the fun. My lady, it's time for you to go out for a walk. When can't we copy the imperial poem?"

Yihuan raised her little finger, picked up the rice paper and slowly moved it closer to the candlelight, using the flame to dry the words on it.

Yi Huan replied, "Lan Qi and Yan Wan can go. I really don't want to join in the fun. Oh, and we can't miss out on proper etiquette. Xi He, go to the store later and see if there's anything suitable for Concubine Wan and the Fifth Prince. Send them over."

"Yes."

Seeing that Yihuan refused to listen, Xihe began to grumble softly.

"My lady, you are such a fool! Since the Tenth Prince passed away, the Emperor has never been to Chuxiu Palace. The only time he came was just when you went to bed, but he left with Concubine Cheng."

Even Xihe could see that Hongli was a heartless man, but Yihuan was like a blind person, with her heart and eyes full of Hongli's goodness.

"My lady, I really don't understand why you copied all this? The Emperor can't see it..."

As a result, Xihe glanced sideways and saw Hongli walking in with his hands behind his back.

Xihe was afraid that Hongli had heard what she had just said, so she knelt down quickly. Just as she was about to speak, Hongli made a gesture to stop her from speaking, and waved his hand for her to step aside.

Yihuan curled her lips and smiled, Xihe was not her.

Naturally, I will not understand the natural heartbeat and impulse of love at first sight.

She loved Hongli more than anything else.

But Hongli was not like that to her.

Yihuan sighed, "Silly girl, you're not me, so you won't understand. I begged the Empress Dowager for my marriage to the Emperor. I knew they weren't on good terms, and their interactions were always filled with calculation. And since I was the concubine recommended by the Empress Dowager, the Emperor was naturally a bit distant towards me. But I always felt that the Emperor would one day see my true feelings. Yongyan's death was my fault. It was because I didn't take good care of myself that Yongyan was born weak and sickly..."

The more Yihuan spoke, the more her heart ached.

Upon hearing this, Hongli looked confused for a moment.

It was not until today that he realized how deeply in love Yihuan was with him. Hongli now realized how wrong he was. Not only did he hurt a woman who loved him, but he also indirectly killed their Tenth Prince out of selfish motives.

"Yihuan..." Hongli called softly.

Yihuan turned around and was slightly stunned.

When did Hongli stand behind her?

Xihe took the opportunity to lead the palace servants out, leaving the space to Hongli and Yihuan.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

Yihuan was about to stand up when Hongli pushed her back, "No need to be so polite."

Seeing the medicine still on the table, Hongli reached out and picked up the medicine bowl, "This medicine is cold, why don't you drink it?"

Yihuan's face showed pain. She had been afraid of bitterness since she was a child, and she really didn't want to take this medicine.

She frowned and declined, "It's bitter."

"Good medicine tastes bitter. How can you recover if you don't drink it? Be good and I'll feed you."

As he spoke, Hongli scooped up spoonful after spoonful of the medicine and put it into Yihuan's mouth.

Although the medicine was bitter, Yihuan didn't even frown because it was Hongli who fed it.

After drinking the medicine, Hongli helped Yihuan to bed to rest.

Hongli didn't get up and leave until Yihuan fell asleep.

On the way back to the Yangxin Palace, Jinbao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the guards from the Yikun Palace just reported that the Empress fainted today."

"Rong Pei, who was beside the Empress, said that the Empress couldn't wait for the Emperor and the Twelfth Prince, and she was so angry that she wanted to ask the Emperor to go to the Yikun Palace to see the Empress."

Hongli held his chin with his hand and thought quietly.

He had indeed not seen Ruyi for a long time, and almost forgot her existence.

But how could she and Ling Yunche still have the nerve to ask to see him after doing such a thing?

just forget it.

He didn't want to see Ruyi.

Counting the days, the King of Bahrain's daughter will soon enter the palace.

Since the affairs of Junggar and Dawachi were settled, King Balin was afraid that their tribe would be the next to suffer, so he sent his only daughter Balin Meiruo to Hongli, trying to seek protection from the Qing Dynasty.

Hongli was naturally delighted to have a beautiful woman by his side, and he immediately agreed.

I just wonder how this grassland princess compares to Concubine Ke?

"Your Majesty, are you going to Concubine Wan's place tonight?" Jinzhong asked.

"I guess Concubine Wan is busy with Yongqi's affairs. Let's go to Xianfu Palace tonight and see Concubine Ke."

Although Concubine Ke was born in the prairie and seemed crude, she was always able to serve Hongli well when it came to men.
