Chapter 481 She Definitely Doesn’t Know
It is difficult for people to follow the rules and enforce them to the extreme.
However, it is very easy to become unruly and sit or stand in an unruly manner.
Ruyi was staying in the cold palace. At first, she was watched by Nanny Wu. But after Nanny Wu died, she completely forgot what rules were.
It's just that she is always compared with those crazy concubines in the cold palace, which makes her seem well-educated and sensible.
But when compared with these concubines who follow the rules every day, it is as if they have never learned any rules.
She used to doze off when Empress Fucha was speaking, but at least she was sitting upright at that time. But now she was almost slumped in the chair.
Yanwan looked at Ruyi with an indifferent expression.
Everyone's eyes turned to Ruyi, and for a moment, everyone had an indescribable look on their face.
I really don't understand what the emperor likes about her.
Could it be that the emperor has eaten too much good food and wants to try something smelly?
The room suddenly became quiet. Rong Pei, who was distracted, quickly came back to her senses and quietly called Ruyi.
Ruyi opened her eyes dazedly and saw everyone looking at her with expressions of contempt and disgust.
She frowned slightly, sat up straight, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
Concubine Mei smiled and said, "Looking at you not waking up yet, if I didn't know you, I would think you were so busy that you couldn't sleep at night."
Ruyi didn't like to argue with Concubine Mei, so she admitted her fault directly: "It's my fault. I was distracted."
She certainly didn't sleep well at night.
Her beloved had just died, but she had to fawn on her enemy and try to please him. She must have felt uncomfortable.
Everything is for the children.
But she was really uncomfortable. When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, she always felt that the silence around her was terrifying. She would think of Hai Lan's death, and then of Zhang Qing and Ling Yunche.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I could see either the gradually decaying Hai Lan, or the sad-eyed Zhang Qing, the swollen Ling Yun Che, or the disappointed E Niang...
She smiled tiredly, stood up and saluted: "I have not been able to sleep well these years, and I am still a little uncomfortable with the sudden audience. I know I was wrong, and I will definitely correct it."
She has actually learned to give in and act pitifully.
Several old palace officials who were familiar with her looked at her with amusement, and their strange looks made Ruyi feel as if she were a monkey in a zoo.
Concubine Jia let out a cry, her bright and generous face full of sarcasm: "It's rare to see you being so well-behaved, I'm afraid you are holding back and want to do something bad, right?"
Ruyi's cheeks were stiff, and the flesh under her eyes was piled up. She smiled with a fake smile: "Noble Concubine Jia, you are joking. How dare I? I have been in the cold palace for seven years and I have realized my mistakes."
She said sincerely: "I really know I was wrong. I have offended you before. Please forgive me."
As she spoke, she knelt down in front of everyone, her expression becoming more calm.
As soon as Yan Wan saw her expression, she knew that she was moved by her own "deep affection" again.
Ruyi is really a very strange person.
As long as she is enduring hardship for love, no matter whether it is worth it or not, she can make herself happy.
Yan Wan chuckled and said, "Forget it, Imperial Concubine Jia, you are already an Imperial Concubine, there is no need to bother with a concubine like her."
Ruyi was delighted: "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort, for pleading for me."
Yan Wan said calmly: "Since she said she knew she was wrong, if she does it again in the future, it would be breaking the law knowingly, which is a heavier crime. You are the imperial concubine, so you can punish her as you like."
Ruyi looked at Yanwan in disbelief: "I have already apologized."
Yan Wan looked at her in surprise: "What are you talking about, Concubine Xian? You don't think that if the perpetrator apologizes, the victim has to accept it, right?"
She covered her lips and chuckled: "If you think so, then it's really...domineering."
When she smiled, others started laughing too.
Ruyi's cheeks turned red, and she could hardly kneel on the ground anymore, so she stumbled and fell to the ground.
Everyone laughed even louder.
Concubine Jia leaned lazily on the back of her chair and said, "I'm afraid that these rules of Concubine Xian have been fed to the rats in the cold palace. We still have to learn them again, otherwise, when we meet the ladies of high rank in the future, we will be embarrassed and thrown out of the palace."
Yan Wan was equally lazy: "I think Concubine Jia is right."
She looked at everyone: "What do you sisters think?"
Everyone came out to salute; "The Imperial Concubine is right!!!"
Ruyi stared at the scene in front of her in a daze. It would be a lie to say she was not shocked.
Even when she was in the highest divine favor, no one had ever done this.
No, even when she became the queen, not everyone obeyed her.
Wei Yanwan...
What kind of magic power does she have that can make the women in the harem who are constantly fighting with each other obey her so much?
Yan Wan glanced at Ruyi and said, "Since you are the popular choice, Concubine Xian, you should go back and learn the rules. I will send a nanny to teach you from the beginning."
She sighed with regret: "Actually, Nanny Wu who served you was very good, but unfortunately she died young. How could she pass away so easily?"
Ruyi felt stiff and cold all over. She inexplicably felt that Wei Yanwan's gaze on her was cold and yet penetrating.
It was like she actually knew everything.
But soon, Ruyi figured it out - Wei Yanwan couldn't possibly know about the things in the cold palace. If she knew, with her vengeful nature, she would definitely expose her and take revenge on her.
She felt relieved and just kept her head down in silence.
Yan Wan has always understood that only a steady stream of water can last a long time, and today's suppression is almost enough.
She said in a gentle voice, "Sisters, you have all worked hard today. If you have nothing else to do, go back and rest."
Everyone stood up again, bowed, and left.
Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu both stayed. Concubine Jia appeared to be at odds with Yan Wan and never stayed in Yongshou Palace. Concubine Rong was cold in nature, but had a tacit understanding with Yan Wan and rarely stayed in Yongshou Palace.
After everyone left, Concubine Mei raised her eyebrows and asked, "This Ulanara family is simply weird, as if they can never be killed."
Shu Fei's eyes were filled with worry: "She used the excuse of rescuing the twelfth prince to get out, but I always felt that she had bad intentions. She wouldn't use the children as a raft again, would she?"
Yanwan asked Chunchan to prepare their favorite snacks for the two of them, and asked Lancui to take the newly selected scripture and chase after them to give it to Concubine Rong.
Concubine Mei pursed her lips and said to Concubine Shu, "Don't worry. Just look at her expression and you'll know that she knows what's going on. She just can't tell us because she's afraid that she'll reveal her true purpose in advance."
Shu Fei's anxious mood was completely calmed by these words. Her tense back relaxed and she devoted herself to enjoying the cakes and fruit tea.
Over the years, she has gradually shifted her focus away from the emperor, putting half of her attention on the Tenth Prince and the other half on poetry and songs. The air of a celebrity has begun to show.
Yan Wan liked Shu Fei's bookish and carefree demeanor the most. After admiring her for a while, she smiled and said;
"Yihuan is still the same as before. Sister Mei can make her eat and drink peacefully with just one word."
Concubine Mei raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You've spoiled her. You've considered everything for her. She's used to relying on you."
