Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 110 Let Wanpin take good care of Yongqi ②

Lujun's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears slid down her cheeks, carrying endless sadness and helplessness, which made people feel pity.

Yongqi seemed a little uneasy. He lowered his head, bit his lips and pinched the corner of his clothes tightly.

Without a strong backing, even the eunuchs and palace maids who served him personally did not take Yongqi seriously. Xiefang Palace was originally a place for the prince to study, but now it has become Yongqi's residence. Fortunately, he still has Yongzhang to accompany him.

However, Yongzhang was a dull person, and even the lessons taught by the Grand Tutor were forgotten after memorizing them. Hongli would occasionally come to Xiefang Palace to check their homework.

Yong Zhang was always the one who was scolded, while Yong Sheng was the prince who was praised the most.

Compared with his two brothers, Yongqi is like a transparent person, with no one caring about him.

He knew that his mother was a sinner, so in order to keep a place in the palace, Yongqi has been fulfilling his duties over the years and dared not do anything beyond the limit.

Seeing Lujun sobbing, Yongqi didn't want to disturb her and wanted to leave quietly, but when he turned around, he was bumped on the shoulder by someone.

Yongqi was already thin, and after being hit like that, he fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Lan Qi and Lu Jun heard the sound and looked at Yong Qi at the same time.

Yongsheng held his head high, with arrogance in his eyes and brows, as if the people under his feet were just ants.

He extended his hand towards Yongqi, a strange smile curling up at the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing a hint of teasing, and he said lightly: "Fifth brother, why are you so careless?"

Yong Qi stood up, his face flushed instantly at the embarrassment of being in front of so many people. He lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Fourth Brother. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb Empress Chun and Empress Cheng from reminiscing about the past."

After saying that, Yongqi turned and left.

Yongcheng glanced at Yongqi's back with disdainful eyes and said arrogantly: "Humph, this brat doesn't even have a confidant in the palace, what can he do?"

"Fourth Prince, the Queen has prepared some pastries and is waiting for you to return to Qixiang Palace. What are you still doing in there?" Seeing that Yongsheng was still not leaving, Li Xin anxiously poked her head towards Xiefang Palace.

"Come back now."

"Empress Chun, Empress Cheng, my mother is waiting anxiously, so I will take my leave first." Yongcheng bowed and said.

Lujun wiped away the tears from her eyes and said with a smile, "Fourth Prince, go back. Don't let Concubine Jia wait anxiously."

Lujun couldn't help feeling a little disappointed as she didn't get to talk to Yongrong and didn't even see Yongzhang. Lanqi didn't leave either and sat with Lujun in Xiefang Palace for a while.

Because it was cold, Ke Xin hurriedly had a pot of hot tea brought up. Then she squatted down and gently patted Lu Jun's leg, saying, "Don't be sad, my lady. If you're really worried about the Sixth Prince, why don't we go and ask the Emperor to let him return to Zhongcui Palace? After all, it's been so long since the incident with Empress Xiaoxian, and his anger should have subsided long ago."

It’s not that Lujun hadn’t thought about it, but it was she who begged Hongli to find a foster mother for Yongrong who would truly treat him well.

During the years that Yongrong was in Yonghe Palace, Ruiji treated him like her own son and was so good to him. Lujun saw it all and had no reason to snatch Yongrong away from Ruiji.

Lujun looked at Lanqi, took her hand and wanted to ask for her opinion.

Lan Qi advised, "Sister Chun, you absolutely cannot do this."

Lujun knew this was difficult, but she still wanted to fight for it. She hesitated and said, "Lanqi, I know Yongrong is living well with Concubine Mei, but after all, I am his biological mother, and Yongzhang and Jingyan are his siblings. They should live together and support each other."

Lan Qi shook her head. She didn't expect that even after becoming a royal concubine, Lujun was still so stubborn.

She sighed and said, "Sister, you're wrong. The Sixth Prince has a blood relationship with you that no one can sever. When he was sent to Yonghe Palace, she was still a child. Now, Concubine Mei has taken care of him for three years as his mother. To the Sixth Prince, it's Concubine Mei who feeds him when he's hungry and adds clothes when he's cold. Haven't you seen how Concubine Mei has been so devoted to him over the years? If I really beg the Emperor and the Sixth Prince returns to you, have you ever thought about how Concubine Mei would live after losing her son again?"

Lan Qi's words instantly enlightened Lu Yun.

If she really did that, Yongrong would hate her.

Although Ruiji was not a concubine in the harem, she was a good mother.

Lan Qi was right. She and Yongrong were close relatives, and there was no need to rush to bring him back to Zhongcui Palace if she wanted to.

There is a long way to go and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.

Seeing that Lujun was no longer determined to take Yongrong back, she asked Kexin to help Lujun return to Zhongcui Palace, and asked Ji Tao to invite the imperial physician to come and make sure that Lujun's foot was fine. Only then did she feel at ease to leave Zhongcui Palace.

When passing by Chuxiu Palace, Lan Qi stopped.

She looked at the plaque above the palace gate, wondering what had happened to Yihuan.

Just as I was about to go into the house to take a look, I saw Xihe coming out.

I bowed to her and said, "This servant greets Her Majesty, Concubine Cheng. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

Lan Qi nodded slightly and said, "Is Shu Fei okay?"

Xihe bit her lip, looking like she didn't know what to say.

"Where is Concubine Ling?"

Xi He said, "Lady Lingpin took care of my young mistress all night. Lan Cui just helped her back to Yongshou Palace to rest."

Lan Qi said slowly, "Let me go in and take a look at Concubine Shu."

Xihe made way for Lanqi to enter Chuxiu Palace.

Yihuan drank the medicine and fell asleep, but she was still holding the Tenth Prince's clothes tightly in her hands, and her pretty face was covered with tear marks.

Seeing Yihuan's mouth opening and closing, Lan Qi put her ear close to her to listen to what she said.

Yihuan was talking in her sleep: "Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I failed to take good care of our Tenth Prince."

It turned out that she blamed herself for the Tenth Prince's untimely death. Even her dreams were a confession to Hongli. A tear slid down Yihuan's eye.

If Yihuan knew that the death of the Tenth Prince was caused by Hongli, how would she face the Emperor in the future?

Lan Qi didn't dare to think too much and could only helplessly twist the quilt on Yihuan's body.

Then he stood up and walked to the table, only to see it covered with Hongli's imperial poems.

Lan Qi picked up one at random.

Yihuan is the daughter of Minister Nalan Yongshou. She likes to be picky about words when speaking. She is well-read and talented. Lan Qi really doesn't understand how such a proud girl can like Hongli's worthless poems.

She had never learned to write before, and in her previous life, she only learned to write under the guidance of Yan Wan. Now, in order to become the real Nianhulu Lanqi, she studied every night by candlelight. Although she could not compare with Yihuan, she was much better than before when she knew nothing.

The newly emerged spring water is as green as oil, and the reflection of a new moth is as soft as a mirror.

Lan Qi really didn't understand the meaning of the sentence. She pursed her lips, feeling that it was not a good word, but Yihuan liked it very much.
