Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 130: Encounter in the Imperial Garden

Wanyin gently stroked Yongqi's face, remembering how Yongqi had been somewhat repulsive to her when she first brought him to Zhongcui Palace. However, she used love as her pretext and successfully opened Yongqi's heart, and he was willing to call her "mother."

She doesn't ask for anything in this life, just wants Yongqi to be safe and sound.

"Don't think too much, mother. Fourth brother is smart and capable, and is loved by the emperor. I don't have Fourth brother's ability, nor do I have a prominent family background. The only thing I can do is to be a good person and not bring shame to the emperor and mother. Mother, it's windy outside, let me help you into the house."

Wanyin responded softly, and Yongqi helped Wanyin back to the house.

Yongsheng organized the welcoming banquet very successfully, and Hongli praised him highly.

Hongli was extremely satisfied with Che Ling's behavior of leading more than 10,000 people to join him. Not only did he meet Che Ling in person, he also specially conferred the title of prince on him as a reward.

Because Yongsheng did his job well, even Yuyan was proud of it. As the mother was honored by her son, Hongli would often go to Qixiang Palace to see Yuyan because of the relationship between Yongsheng and Yu.

Although Yuyan took good care of herself, she was getting older after all, and her bodies were not as young as Lanqi, Yanwan and Meiruo.

But Hongli would still go to Qixiang Palace to accompany Yuyan for meals, and gave her countless rewards. Hongli even promised her the power over the six palaces and asked her to help Lujun manage the harem.

Even Yuyan's family, the one behind her, received many rewards.

This made Meiruo unable to sit still.

He was furious in Xianfu Palace at this moment.

"Who the hell is the Yu family? The Emperor has never shown such favor to the forty-nine Mongolian tribes. Is it just because of the welcoming banquet hosted by the Fourth Prince? The Emperor is partial..."

Meiruo made such a big noise that even Concubine Ke, who lived in a side hall, heard it.

She frowned slightly, held her cheek with her hand, and looked out the window, not knowing what this Yingpin was doing.

Originally, she thought that Meiruo and she were both from Mongolia, and the two would get along well like sisters. However, after spending some time together, Kegui discovered that Meiruo had no other advantages except her pretty and cute little face.

He would show off the forty-nine Mongolian tribes whenever he had the chance.

Speaking without thinking.

She looked down on Yan Wan for using tricks to get to the top, and she also looked down on Lan Qi, who had connections. She felt that without the support of the Empress Dowager, Lan Qi would not even be able to enter the gate of the Forbidden City.

Although Lujun had the power to assist in managing the six palaces, she was not favored by the emperor, so it was not surprising to Meiruo.

Not to mention Ruiji, a pipa geisha. I heard that she has blood disease and it is a question of when she will die. How could she take it seriously?

As for Yuyan and her son, they must have used dirty tricks.

Meiruo thought about this and became angrier and angrier. She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it away.

The teacup shattered instantly at Concubine Ke's feet.

Noble Lady Ke took a few steps back.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly stood in front of Concubine Ke.

"What's going on?" asked Concubine Ke tentatively.

A Bao bowed slightly, "This servant greets Master Ke."

Meiruo suppressed her temper, quickly stood up, took Ke Guiren's arm, pulled her to sit on a chair, and ordered someone to serve tea and snacks.

She curled her lips, slowly turned the teacup, and sighed, "Sister Ke, it seems that our forty-nine Mongolian tribes are about to fall out of favor."

Lady Ke took a sip of tea, perhaps feeling it was a little hot, and put the tea back. Although she knew Meiruo was making trouble, she still asked perfunctorily, "What's wrong?"

"Sister, do you know that the Emperor commended the Yu family? When has the Emperor ever rewarded the forty-nine Mongolian tribes like this? Is it just because the Fourth Prince hosted a welcoming banquet for them? Who wouldn't be able to do this..."

There are ears on the walls, and there are many spies in the palace. Meiruo has noble blood, and no one knows how many people are watching her. If she is provoked by someone with ulterior motives and brought to Hongli, it doesn't matter if Meiruo dies, but she must not implicate the Mongolian concubines in Xianfu Palace.

Concubine Ke quickly covered Meiruo's mouth and said, "Sister, please be careful with your words and actions. If the emperor finds out, losing favor will be a small matter, but if it implicates your Abu and Eji, it will be a crime."

Meiruo raised her armored little finger, supported her chin, and spun the cup in her hand in circles, muttering, "The emperor loves me so much, I'm not afraid."

Concubine Ke glanced outside and saw that the sun was shining brightly. She had heard from the people at the Imperial Observatory that the weather would turn cold in a few days. She didn't want to continue this conversation with Meiruo, so she changed the subject and said, "The weather is very nice today. Would you like to accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a walk?"

Hongli had not been to Meiruo's palace for many days. Lujun looked kind, but she was actually a taciturn person. Apart from her daily greetings, she spent most of her time in the Buddhist temple chanting. Meiruo was unwilling to interact with other concubines except for Consort Ke.

That day, Lan Qi accompanied Yan Wan to get the phoenix coronet and bridal bridal gown from the Imperial Household Department.

After this year, Lan Cui will be 26 years old, and it's time to get married.

Since Lan Cui and Zhao Jiuxiao are in love with each other, Yan Wan is naturally willing to help this good thing happen. After all, Lan Cui has been with her for five or six years, and in Yan Wan's heart, she has long regarded Lan Cui as a family member.

She was the one who designed the phoenix crown and bridal bridal gown, and she personally sent people to the Imperial Household Department to have them made.

To give Lan Cui a surprise.

Yanwan deliberately sent Lan Cui away and went to the Imperial Household Department to retrieve her wedding dress.

But just by chance, when they passed by the Imperial Garden, Yuyan was holding Yongyan and playing under the pavilion. On the opposite side, Meiruo and Concubine Ke were walking towards them with their maids.

Yan Wan scoffed, "I don't know what day it is today, but all these annoying people are gathered together."

Lan Qi frowned slightly. According to the rules, Yuyan was a noble concubine and had the same power to assist in managing the six palaces as Lujun. Lujun had been ill these days and seldom went out. Yuyan was like a lion that had been sleeping for a long time. If they ignored Yuyan's existence, she would definitely find a handle to punish them.

Mei Ruo and Concubine Ke also arrived at the same time.

A few people bowed slightly.

Lan Qi/Yan Wan said, "May the Empress Jia be blessed with good health."

Noble Lady Meiruo/Ke: "This concubine greets Noble Consort Jia, Noble Consort Cheng, and Noble Consort Ling."

Yuyan held Yongyan and sat on the stone bench, not letting anyone get up.

Meiruo had never suffered such hardship before. She pulled up the noble lady beside her and said perfunctorily, "If you sisters are alright, I and Sister Ke will not disturb your enjoyment."

Seeing that Meiruo was about to leave, Yuyan hurriedly called them to stop, handed Yongyan in her hands to the wet nurse, touched his little face, and asked the wet nurse to take him away to feed him.

She smiled brightly and said, "I'm so sorry. I was just taking care of the Eleventh Prince and neglected some of my sisters. I hope you won't be angry?"

Anyone with a discerning eye would understand what Yuyan meant.

Her words were so beautiful that no one could find fault with them, so Lan Qi and Yan Wan naturally didn't hold it against her. During her time in the palace, Concubine Ke had become more tactful in her dealings.

Meiruo already resented Yuyan for taking away her favor, and after paying her respects to Yuyan just now, she felt that her status had been downgraded several levels, and she felt even more uncomfortable.
