Chapter 122 Eat 2 less bites and you will be hungry to death
Ruyi woke up slowly and saw the emperor sitting in front of the bed. She was just about to act coquettishly with her brother Hongli and tell him about her grievances when her peripheral vision swept over a room full of beautiful women.
Ruyi frowned. How could these women be so tactless? Don’t they know they are not welcome here?
The concubines were speechless. If it wasn't for the fact that they were watching you and were afraid that you would tell on them, who would be willing to stay here?
Hongli said happily: "Qingying, you have contributed greatly to the birth of the royal heir, and I will promote you to the rank of noble lady. You can rest assured and take care of yourself, and let noble lady Shen take charge of the palace affairs."
Hongli had vowed long ago that he would never let Ruyi get involved in the affairs of the harem. He didn't want to finish his government work and still have a lot of troubles waiting for him at home.
Ruyi pulled Hongli's sleeve, leaned her head on his arm, and pouted, "Your Majesty, it's all your fault that you made me suffer."
Hongli would usually only show his affection with the empress in front of others, with the intention of demonstrating the harmony between the emperor and the empress.
When flirting with concubines, they always did it one-on-one in private. He felt embarrassed to see Ruyi being so clingy in public.
Hongli changed the subject and wanted to hold Yongqi for Ruyi to see.
Ruyi said, "No need for that. I still have grievances. I beg Your Majesty to help me."
Hongli was worried, was she trying to do something naughty again, or was someone really trying to harm her?
"Noble Lady Wan beat me, and the Sixth Prince disrespected my stepmother. I was so angry that I lost my pregnancy and gave birth prematurely."
"Also, my labor was too long, the pain was unbearable, and the birth was extremely difficult. I am afraid that someone has done something to me. I am of low status and I don't have enough people around me, so it's too easy for someone to take advantage of me."
As soon as Hongli entered the Yanx Palace, Chen Wanyin brought the Sixth Prince to apologize.
Chen Wanyin has been kneeling in the yard at this moment, unwilling to get up. Who says that people with soft personalities cannot admit death?
She wouldn't get up until Ruyi explained clearly.
"It was Concubine Xian who provoked me first and ridiculed me for ridiculing the Sixth Princess. The Sixth Prince had a conflict with her, and it was my fault for not taking good care of him. I should not have attacked the Emperor's concubines without permission, and I accept the punishment."
"But Concubine Xian mocked the princess for being ill, so she must apologize to the princess. If the emperor condones her because she just gave birth, I will kneel in the Yanxi Palace and cannot get up."
Even a clay figure has some blood in him. Ruyi has stepped on Chen Wanyin's bottom line.
Su Lujun also knelt beside Chen Wanyin and said, "Yongrong was disrespectful to his stepmother. It was my fault for not bringing him up properly. It has nothing to do with Concubine Wan. Your Majesty, please punish me. But please ask Concubine Xian to apologize to the Sixth Princess and Concubine Wan."
Zhen Huan and all the concubines knelt on the ground. She knew that Ruyi would do nothing good when she woke up. She used her own flesh and blood as a shield, and made trouble in the palace by relying on the power of others. She didn't even look at her child when he woke up, and started to commit fraud.
Zhen Huan looked at Hongli and said, "The Sixth Princess was personally conferred the title of Buddha's Hand Princess by the Emperor. Concubine Xian is so bold to keep mentioning a small disability. She is disrespectful to the blessing of God and even more disrespectful to the Emperor."
"I beg the Emperor to make a decision for Concubine Wan and the Sixth Princess."
The witnesses in Zhongcui Palace are all here, so I dare not give false testimony so blatantly. Moreover, Hongli knows that Chen Wanyin's character is definitely more trustworthy than Ruyi's.
Hongli closed his eyes and tried to breathe steadily.
"Sixth Prince disrespects his stepmother, so he is punished to copy the story of the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars a hundred times. He dares to lay hands on his elders, so he must run twenty laps in the training ground every day."
"After Confinement, Concubine Xian went to apologize to Concubine Wan in person and wrote a 10,000-word apology letter to Jingyan."
Although Ruyi was dissatisfied, she could only give in temporarily. After all, she already had a prince, so it would be easy for her to deal with a princess in the future.
Ruyi looked at Hongli, pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, and said sadly, "Your Majesty and I have known each other since we were young, on the wall..."
Hailan took off the armor in her hand, and while Qinghong and the other man were looking at each other, she threw it heavily at Ruyi. The sharp armor still hurt Ruyi through her clothes, and she stopped talking.
Ruyi glared at Hailan angrily.
Hai Lan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I just saw a fly on Concubine Xian's hair and I missed it."
Ruyi picked up Hailan's armor. The style was so beautiful. She had liked it before, but Qin Li said he didn't have her size.
Damn, how come this bad woman is so tall and has such thin fingers.
Ruyi threw the armor to the ground fiercely.
Hongli: Damn it, my gold brick floor.
Hongli thought of another person who destroyed her Persian carpet, and he suddenly wanted Ruyi to move there. If he was going to destroy anything, he could just destroy a palace.
Jingren Palace Ulanara, good, very pleasant to the ear.
Ruyi pouted, and Zhen Huan interrupted her: "No need to say more, Concubine Xian. I have already found out all your confusions, and I am here to help you solve them now."
"The reason why Concubine Xian suddenly went into labor in the Imperial Garden and suffered so much pain during childbirth was because she ate too many sour apricots."
Hongli and Ruyi both looked at Zhen Huan in disbelief.
Ruyi was about to refute, but she couldn't stop pouting and shaking her lips before she spoke, so Zhen Huan took the lead.
"I have in my hand a book from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which records the number of sour apricots Rong Pei took. During her entire pregnancy, Concubine Xian received a total of fifty kilograms of sour apricot preserves."
Zhen Huan added: "Although Rong Pei sometimes secretly grabbed it, it was not obvious, but Qin Zongguan has been in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for more than 20 years. He has amazing insight and a keen eye. I believe his records."
"Your Majesty, please summon the imperial physician and Qin Li to testify."
Ye Tianshi said: "It is okay to eat a small amount of acid during pregnancy, but fifty kilograms of sour apricots is too much. Excessive acid intake during pregnancy can lead to premature birth. I have examined the pulse of Lady Xian and found that this is indeed the reason."
Grandma Tian also reported: "Pregnant women should eat everything in moderation. Excessive consumption will lead to various hidden dangers. The harm of acid in the diet will indeed cause abnormal pain during childbirth."
A clever midwife also said, "Lady Xian fainted because her cervix was not dilated. I cut the wild ginseng that Concubine Jia sent and asked her to hold it in her mouth, but Lady Xian was unwilling to take it. While waiting for the old lady to find the ginseng that her mother's family brought in, she became weak."
Ruyi pulled Hongli's sleeve and pleaded, "Your Majesty, the Queen has bribed them to frame me. Please help me."
Hongli rolled up his sleeves. He believed that Ye Tianshi was a kind-hearted doctor and would never get involved in the harem struggle or give false testimony.
Ruyi pointed at Rong Pei and said, "Your Majesty, you can send Rong Pei to the Ministry of Punishment and let Madam Jingqi interrogate her to prove my innocence."
Rong Pei knelt down with a plop and said, "I did go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and secretly took countless sour apricots, and served them to the master at night."
Hongli's temple was throbbing, and he could clearly feel a blood vessel in his brain roaring like the Hukou Waterfall.
"If you eat less, you'll be so hungry that you'll die. It's really embarrassing."
"I will be pissed off by you sooner or later."
"Looking at each other from afar on the wall..."
"Shut up, or I'll sew your mouth shut."
Hongli had long felt that he was being schemed against by Ulanara, who had given her all kinds of psychological hints, trying to find her a boyfriend who was his childhood sweetheart who had defecated in public during the talent show and who grew up in Jiangnan.
Originally, because we have a child, I was willing to respect her and support her, but this woman was too naughty.
Hongli's cheeks burned all the way to his ears, and his entire face turned red.
