Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 395: Like a Fool

No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go.

If he hadn't wanted to remind Ling Zhuer of the emperor's attitude, he wouldn't have dared to make this trip.

On the way back, thinking about the excuse he made for himself to come to Yongshou Palace, he couldn't help but smile.

Only after he entered his room, washed off the unwanted smell on his body, changed into the ambergris-scented clothes he had prepared in advance, and checked them carefully again, did he throw his old clothes into a basin filled with soapnut liquid and soak them completely before turning around to go back to work.

When Jinbao saw him coming, he lowered his voice and said, "The emperor asked you to arrange a place for Rongpin as well, so that the emperor can see Rongpin and Rongpin can see her clansmen."

Jinzhong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did the official lady send someone to deliver a letter?"

Jinbao nodded and said, "When it was almost time to go to bed at night, Xiao Lingzi came to deliver a letter to the emperor on behalf of the official lady. There was blood on the letter, and I didn't dare to stop her, so I delivered the letter."

Jinzhong nodded, not feeling guilty or anxious.

Now it is not like before, when the emperor was seriously suspicious and he no longer sneaked into Yongshou Palace while the emperor was asleep like before. Instead, he finished his task today and was rewarded with rest by the emperor. He waited in the veranda room until midnight before going to Yongshou Palace.

It's almost dawn now. He has always been diligent, so it's normal for him to come early.

Jinzhong glanced into the hall and said, "The emperor went to Yikun Palace, why is he back again?"

Jinbao lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "There was blood on the letter, and the emperor called Xiao Lingzi to ask about it. He found out that the girl in the Xianguan had some miscarriage and was bleeding, so he went to check it out. The girl in the Xianguan was mysterious. As soon as the emperor entered the room, she hooked her belt and refused to let go, saying that she had a secret to tell the emperor, so the emperor asked us to leave."

Jinzhong thought for a moment and asked, "What was the emperor's expression like when he came out?"

Jinbao said, "She didn't look very happy. I knew that the Imperial Concubine liked Yingpin very much, so I winked at her. I don't know if Yingpin understood it, but she was very happy when she saw the Emperor off."

Jinzhong praised him, "You are doing well. As long as you are not too stupid, you should show some kindness. This will prevent these ladies from becoming successful in the future and then resenting us who are doing the work."

Jinbao responded obediently: "Don't worry, Brother Zhong."

He said to Jinbao, "Go to Yongshou Palace and tell Miss Chunchan about the seating arrangement so that the Imperial Concubine will have an idea. After you've done this, go back and rest. After all, you've been up all night."

Jinbao couldn't help laughing: "Yes, I will listen to the chief steward."

Jinzhong smiled and nodded at him. After he left, he tiptoed to the door and stood there. He listened to the noises in the room while wondering if there were any mistakes in his recent work.

When Han Xiangjian entered the palace, the emperor had already known about her specialness from a female official.

When the emperor was questioning her, the lady in the imperial palace spoke a lot of incoherent things because of a headache. Jinzhong stood guard at the door and listened for a while. In the eyes of the lady in the imperial palace, Rongpin... was not a good person. She was more like a seductress who seduced the emperor to make mistakes and brought disaster to the country.

Later, after the Han tribe was defeated, the emperor got the portrait of Han Xiangjian.

Then, now, Han Xiangjian has entered the palace and was directly granted the title of concubine.

After inviting Concubine Rong into the palace from the leader of the Han tribe today, he sent someone to "notify" Ruyi.

Unexpectedly, Ruyi was tied to the bed to take care of her pregnancy. As soon as she met Han Xiangjian, she no longer said her favorite "wait for the right opportunity", but just took action.

It's a pity that he didn't get to hear what nice words she said that actually stimulated the emperor to become even more "considerate". Otherwise, he would have to tell Master Ling about it and make him smile.

The sky was getting brighter and brighter. When the sky was turning pale, there was movement in the house.

Jinzhong immediately walked in quickly and helped Hongli put on his clothes with his eyes downcast.

Hongli's frown relaxed a little visibly.

Although they are just some very minor differences, Jinzhong is indeed more adept at handling details, which does not delay his thinking and doing things.

"After the morning court session, summon the imperial concubine to come and see me."

"Whoo."

……

After the morning court session, Yanwan came upon summons.

When she came, Hongli was still reviewing memorials, but after someone reported it, Hongli called her in.

As soon as she came in, she took over Jinzhong's job of grinding ink.

Jinzhong immediately lowered his eyes and stepped back, waiting at the door.

Since he couldn't see with his eyes, he just listened. Just listening to the noise made by Ling Zhuer made him feel happy.

For a moment, the room was silent, until Hongli finished reviewing the urgent memorials, and then he was the first to speak.

"Does your wrist hurt? I can just let the servants do these jobs. Why tire you out?"

As he spoke, he had already grasped Yan Wan's wrist and pressed it gently.

Yan Wan looked at his long, dense eyelashes, her expression gentle: "I have always wanted to do something for the emperor, but I am afraid that I will make mistakes if it is too complicated. This kind of small task is just right for me to win your favor."

Hongli was amused: "You!"

Yanwan also laughed.

In front of the emperor, she was always cheerful, gentle, and loved to act coquettishly.

What Hongli liked was her natural dependence and coquetry. He smiled and pulled her to laugh for a while before talking about the purpose of this trip:

"Ruyi wants to live with Rongpin who just entered the palace. What do you think?"

Yan Wan was surprised and asked, "A lady of noble birth wants to move to another palace?"

Hongli paused and said, "If she had the courage to walk out of Yikun Palace, I would be willing to look up to her."

Yan Wan frowned slightly: "She actually wants to be a concubine and humble herself for her? Your Majesty, I have something to say but I don't know if I should say it or not."

Hongli squeezed her wrist and said, "Is there anything that cannot be said between you and me?"

Yan Wan couldn't help but smile a little, but when she talked about Ruyi, she frowned again:

"I wanted to say this before, Lady Xianguan, did she go crazy after what happened before? She always..."

She looked distressed, as if she was looking for a suitable word to describe her: "She seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion, always high and mighty, self-righteous, as if...

It's as if she is your legal wife, and we concubines, regardless of our status, are all your lowly concubines, so it's natural that we should be taught by her, or even... looked down upon by her."

Hongli looked at Yanwan's confused expression and couldn't help but coughing lightly.

The future that Ruyi talked about, wasn’t it... that he personally issued an order to make her his legal wife?

But he didn't want to tell Yan Wan at all. Even if he pretended that Ruyi was hallucinating, he didn't want to make himself look too stupid, as if he was not an emperor, but a...

A fool whose mind is filled with nothing but love.
