Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 135 The Sound of Suona ①

Sunlight streamed down the red-brick, green-tiled palace walls, and a grand wedding banquet unfolded like a scroll in the light and shadow. Yongshou Palace was festooned with lights and colorful decorations, a festive atmosphere abounding. Red lanterns swayed in the wind, like poems of blessing.

Hongli has always felt guilty towards Yanwan because of the incident between Yuyan and Meiruo. Taking advantage of Lancui's wedding today, he asked Jinzhong to go to Yongshou Palace to deliver a gift.

Suddenly, all kinds of rare treasures poured into Yongshou Palace.

Even when Hongli granted her loyalty to her master, Suo Xin, who married Ling Yunche, there was no such grand ceremony. This shows how much favored Yan Wan was in the eyes of the public.

With the exception of Yuyan and Meiruo, all the concubines who had been close to Yanwan came to Yongshou Palace to congratulate her. Yuyan wasn't present, but she was a noble concubine. Lancui, though merely a palace maid, wasn't one of the many women the emperor could grant marriage to. Even though she despised Yanwan, she had to give Hongli some face. She asked Lixin to deliver the jade ruyi from her treasury to Yongshou Palace.

Li Xin held the jade ruyi in her hand, and everyone in Yongshou Palace was busy at this time.

Suddenly, the new eunuch broke some dishes. Wang Chan saw this and hurriedly pulled him to a corner. With a sullen face, he scolded the eunuch.

He poked the eunuch's forehead with his finger and growled, "Do you know how to work? Do you know what day it is today? If you mess up Lan Cui's good things, you will suffer the consequences."

The young eunuch lowered his head, not daring to make a sound, and let Wang Chan scold him.

At this time, Li Xin walked in.

Not wanting to be laughed at by the people in Qixiang Palace, Wang Chan immediately changed his expression and greeted Li Xin with a smile, "Miss Li Xin is here, please come in."

Li Xin tilted her body slightly and looked inside over Wang Chan's body.

I didn't see Yanwan, I guess she was with Lan Cui.

Seeing a young eunuch standing behind Wang Chan who looked unfamiliar, as if he had just been scolded, Li Xin asked suspiciously, "Oh, this young eunuch looks unfamiliar. Did he do something wrong to anger Eunuch Wang?"

Wang Chan turned his head and glanced at him, saying, "Hurry up and clean up the things on the ground."

"Yes……"

Hearing this, the young eunuch turned around and went to pick up the debris on the ground.

Wang Chan said, "The new eunuch is ignorant. Miss Li Xin came to Yongshou Palace to present a gift on behalf of Concubine Jia."

Li Xin was about to speak when she heard a voice behind her, "Empress Cheng has arrived."

"This servant greets Her Majesty, Concubine Cheng—"

"Get up." Lan Qi responded, turned around and asked Ji Tao behind her to deliver the gift first.

Since her former good sister is getting married, she will naturally come. She hopes to make up for the regrets of her previous life in this life.

Seeing Li Xin holding a jade ruyi, she had seen many good jades, but this was the first time she saw a ruyi carved from such high-quality jade. There were auspicious clouds and bat patterns carved on the head of the ruyi. Although Yuyan was not easy to mess with, she didn't expect her to be so generous.

Lan Qi: "Why didn't Concubine Jia come?"

Li Xin walked up to Lan Qi and replied, "In reply to Consort Cheng, my young mistress has caught a cold today, and since Miss Lan Cui is so happy to meet her, she's afraid she'll pass her illness on to the other ladies, so she's not coming. However, our master has sent this servant to bring a gift, and I hope you'll accept it on behalf of Miss Lan Cui."

Wang Chan took the jade ruyi from Li Xin with tact.

"I still have things to do in Qixiang Palace, so I'll take my leave first." Li Xin bowed to Lan Qi and then left.

Lan Qi didn't care much about it. After entering Yongshou Palace, she went straight to Lancui House.

The main hall of Xianfu Palace.

Abao got a new spring orchid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Today, Xianfu Palace was deserted, something Abao wasn't used to. She ran into the main hall, Chunlan in her arms, only to find Meiruo half-lying on the couch, eating fresh lychees, the pits spit out all over the floor. Abao placed Chunlan on the table, tiptoed across the empty space, and made her way to Meiruo's side.

She half-knelt on the ground, pinching Meiruo's calf.

Meiruo glanced at Abao and said calmly, "Where did you go?"

A Bao: "Nothing can be hidden from the young master's eyes. I went to the Imperial Household Department. Look, that orchid is so beautiful. Eunuch Qin told me its name... Chunlan."

"You're lying." Meiruo caught the lychee pit that had just been spit out of her mouth with her hand, and then threw it at Abao's face. Although Meiruo's strength was not great, the pit still hurt. Abao quickly covered her face with her hands. Because of the pain, her eyes had a physiological reaction and were filled with tears.

A Bao: "Young Master?"

Meiruo rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Don't think I don't know that today is a good day for the maidservant in Yongshou Palace. I know everyone went to Yongshou Palace to congratulate her. But I won't. Who is she? Just a palace maid."

"Oh..." Meiruo sneered, "I now remember that even her master was born a palace maid. This lowly creature had the idea of ​​seducing the emperor, and I didn't expect she would succeed. This person's status is even higher than mine. How shameless."

Upon hearing this, Abao quickly covered Meiruo's mouth. Before entering the palace, she had heard gossip from her sisters: the current Empress Dowager was not the Emperor's biological mother. The Emperor was merely the child of a hideously ugly maid from the Rehe Palace, the late Emperor having drunkenly favored her. Initially, the late Emperor had been particularly displeased with Hongli, but somehow Hongli had managed to make himself the child of Concubine Xi.

The harem is a deep place, and too much talk will lead to mistakes.

These were the last words the Princess of Bahrain said to them before she left.

If word of this reached Hongli, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble for them. But Meiruo didn't take it seriously. She slapped Abao's hand away and sneered, "What are you afraid of? I'm the daughter of King Bahrain, and I have the forty-nine Mongolian tribes behind me. If I'm unhappy, then so are the forty-nine Mongolian tribes. Besides, doesn't the Emperor appreciate my sincerity? Unlike that noble lady Ke, who brought shame to our Mongolian tribe by congratulating a palace maid, lowering herself and bringing shame not only to Mongolia but also to Xianfu Palace."

Seeing that Meiruo refused to listen, Abao said no more. Fortunately, there was no one in Xianfu Palace today.

Little did she know that Hongli was standing outside the door, having heard everything Meiruo had just said. Hongli clenched his fists, and a faint frost seemed to cover his stern face, making him look sad and lifeless.

He knew that Meiruo always spoke her mind. Meiruo was a little Mongolian princess and was naturally the apple of the eye of the King and Queen of Bahrain at home. She married into the Qing Dynasty for Bahrain and Mongolia. As the master of the Qing Dynasty and the son-in-law of Mongolia, he naturally had to treat Meiruo well. However, her "heartfelt words" today deeply hurt Hongli's heart.

Although I'm not talking about him, there was no difference between him and Yan Wan before.

He was of low status and was not favored by the late emperor.

Even the late emperor's abandoned empress, Yixiu, refused to see him or anyone else.

He actually doesn't love Ruyi that much.

But she was the queen's niece, and Hongli loved her identity and Qingying who was abandoned by the third prince Hongshi.
