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

Chapter 374 Han Xiangjian

Yihuan's birth and the arrival of the Tenth Prince brought a lot of liveliness to the usually peaceful palace.

After the excitement, the concubines in the harem stayed at home and were reluctant to come out.

With the arrival of the cold winter, even serving the emperor in the bedchamber became a strenuous and arduous task. The concubines had fewer means of vying for favor, and only a few were still very active.

It is true that the Forbidden City is cold in winter and hot in summer. In winter, it is extremely cold and dry. When it snows, it makes hands and feet even colder. When I went to the Yangxin Palace to serve the emperor in bed, I had to take off my clothes for a long time.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the emperor has recently favored and summoned those with talents.

Among them, the emperor had the largest number of women who were virtuous.

It is said that this is because Xian Guan girl grew up with the emperor since childhood, is familiar with the emperor's literary preferences, and can always laugh together with the emperor.

Yan Wan rolled her cheeks with the small jade roller and yawned lazily: "I really want to see the appearance of a virtuous woman fawning on others to win their favor."

Chunchan chuckled: "Master, it's not difficult to know. As long as you ask, someone will tell you in detail."

Yan Wan glanced at her coquettishly and said, "You are becoming more and more fond of teasing me."

She changed her posture.

Chunchan immediately handed her a crystal clear red fruit.

Yanwan leaned over and took a small bite of it.

The warm little persimmons are sweet and soft, and melt in your mouth. It is really a pleasure to eat them in this harsh winter.

Chunchan smiled, and as soon as she finished a bite, she put the teacup down.

Yan Wan took a sip from her hand and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You must have someone keep a close eye on her belly."

Chunchan smiled and said, "I was just about to say that, but Concubine Jia sent someone to report that she must be pregnant, and she wanted to ask Imperial Doctor Zhang to take a look, and also ask Nanny Tian to help."

Yan Wan was not surprised: "She is really cruel to herself."

Chunchan said gently, "Looking at the feelings that Concubine Jia has for Zhenshu, I am also filled with emotion."

Yan Wan glanced at her: "Envy?"

Chunchan smelled the sour smell keenly and couldn't help but smile: "Who in the whole palace can compare with me?"

Yan Wan was very pleased with her affirmation: "You are telling the truth."

Chunchan suppressed her laughter: "What about Concubine Jia..."

Yan Wan opened her mouth and took another bite of the persimmon: "Ask Zhang Yun to take a look at her. Once we are sure about the fetus, ask Nanny Tian to go again."

Chunchan responded, "Yes."

She picked up the hammer and tapped Yan Wan's legs gently. She calculated the time and served her for a while before reminding her softly, "Master, it's time to practice your posture."

Yanwan nodded, stood up, took a sip of warm tea, walked to the mirror, put on her costume, and began to sing.

She has been lazy and doesn't like to go out recently. Besides wanting the emperor and Ruyi to develop their relationship and not wanting to hurt her eyes, she also wants to pick up Kunqu Opera again.

Although it was very hard, especially when practicing her posture and basic skills, the pain made her cry, but the results were excellent.

In half a month at most, she would be able to sing better than in her previous life.

However, the news brought by Jinzhong in the evening disrupted her plans.

"You said Han Xiangjian is going to enter the palace early? How come?"

Yan Wan looked surprised, but after the surprise, she understood.

Yes.

Before, when they were in the Old Summer Palace, although Ruyi was confused and only remembered those romantic things, but Han Xiangjian was related to the attack on the Hui tribe and she was the emperor's true love, so Ruyi naturally remembered her more clearly than anything else.

Well, considering Hongli's personality, it was not really something against common sense to make arrangements in advance and take over the Han tribe in advance.

Yanwan felt a sense of crisis in her heart.

However, this sense of crisis did not come from the fact that the emperor's favor would be taken away, but from the fact that Han Xiangjian would be given a bowl of infertility soup by the empress dowager.

If the Queen Mother is still so tough, then the person who delivers the soup...

Yanwan rubbed her temples, but after just two rubs, she was replaced by Jinzhong.

Jin Zhong's slightly cold fingers gently made circles, and his voice was neither hot nor cold: "My Lord, don't worry. If you think she is a trouble, the journey to the capital is so long. It is understandable that she, a foreign woman, died on the way due to acclimatization."

Yanwan suddenly held Jinzhong's hand, turned her head and looked straight at him.

Jinzhong lowered his eyes and his eyelashes trembled.

The two men confronted each other for a long time, and finally Jinzhong was defeated: "Master, rest assured, I will never do anything reckless."

Yan Wan's face was unusually gloomy: "You'd better not."

Jinzhong was helpless: "How dare I do that!"

His clear voice was mellow and pleasant, and his tone was full of tenderness and care.

Yan Wan glared at him, thinking that it was really unethical for him to use such means to seduce her at this time, but she had to admit that he really seduced her just right.

She pinched his slender fingers: “Your Majesty is suspicious, and Han Xiangjian is the person that Ruyi cared about the most in her previous life, so she must have revealed many details.

Since the emperor was able to make careful arrangements and subdue the Han tribe in advance, he must have taken Ruyi's mention of Han Xiangjian to heart.

At this time, if Han Xiang died on the road differently from her previous life, the emperor would not believe it was a coincidence. He would only think that either Ruyi had done something, or there was someone else who was the same as Ruyi.

She held Jinzhong's hand tightly and said, "Don't let the emperor find out the difference between you and me. Once we are exposed, we won't have the good luck like Ruyi."

Jinzhong nodded, his mind full of the word "we" from her mouth.

He assured in a gentle voice: "I will obey you."

Yan Wan relaxed, leaned back into his arms, and tapped her temple with her slender white fingers.

Jinzhong chuckled and raised his hand to massage again, his eyes filled with tenderness: "What do you want to do, Master?"

Yan Wan narrowed her eyes: "In the past, Han Xiangjian and Ruyi knew each other and loved each other, what about this time?"

She glanced at Jinzhong and chuckled, "Guess, with Ruyi's personality, will she choose to let Han Xiangjian continue to be her ally, or will she find a way to get rid of her?"

In her previous life, how many times did Ruyi break down her defenses for Han Xiangjian? Perhaps only she herself knew.

Yanwan narrowed her eyes and unconsciously fumbled with the sapphire ring on her finger.

She prefers to be active rather than passive.

What she was most worried about was that the Emperor would go crazy because of Han Xiangjian and cause the Queen Mother to take action against Han Xiangjian.

Then, what if the Queen Mother doesn’t take action against Han Xiangjian?

After all, the empress dowager today is no longer the empress dowager before. She is wiser, calmer, and understands the relationships between people better.

Why would such a queen mother deliberately go against the emperor for a woman who could never become a queen mother even if she gave birth to a child?

Han Xiangjian may be able to make the emperor lose his mind, but the ministers in the court will not.

They would never allow a child born to a woman from the Han tribe to take the throne of crown prince.

By then, can Ruyi still be friends with Han Xiangjian...?
