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

Chapter 174 May We All Live Longer

Hongli held Yanwan in his arms, and felt that his head, which had been aching recently, now felt particularly relaxed and clear.

He pinched Yan Wan's cheek: "Empress Xian, she really never liked you... Well, Jinzhong."

Jinzhong walked in quickly: "Your Majesty."

Hongli said, "Go and give Wei some punishment that will not humiliate her. This will teach her a lesson."

At this point, he frowned slightly: "Has your master slapped Hai Lan recently?"

Jinzhong said hurriedly, "Recently, Hai promised to be close to Empress Xian, and Empress Xian protects her closely. Master doesn't dare to offend Empress Xian."

Hongli frowned. It was originally agreed that Li Yu would go and slap Hai Lan in the face, but he went on an eastern tour not long after the fight and the matter was over. Now it seems that he doted on Concubine Xian too much.

He said calmly, "Ten slaps a day, let him do it, for three months..."

He paused here, remembering that Empress Xian always liked to pout and act like a little girl recently, and his scalp tingled: "About a month."

Jinzhong responded respectfully: "Yes!"

He lowered his head and retreated all the way to the door. When he reached the yard, he saw Mrs. Wei with Jinbao covering her mouth tightly.

He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and smiled.

Mrs. Wei trembled all over when she saw Jinbao, and now seeing Jinzhong smiling at her like that, tears came to her eyes.

Jinzhong glanced at the side hall and said, "Let's talk in the side hall. Madam, please."

Although she said please, it was clear that Mrs. Wei was dragged in by Jinbao.

When they reached the side hall and the door was closed, Madam Wei was thrown to the ground. She begged for mercy: "Hey, hey, hey, the emperor is here! If you stab me again, I will expose you and that unfilial daughter..."

Jinzhong raised his eyes.

Jinbao kicked her in the lower back, pinched her mouth, and the needle appeared in his hand again: "Since the old lady loves to gossip so much, why not suffer a little from her gossip today."

Madam Wei struggled in fear, risking her life, but no matter how hard she struggled, she could not break free from the young eunuch who looked very handsome and frail.

"Well……"

All the screams were suppressed in the side hall.

Jinzhong looked at him lazily, and only occasionally spoke out a few words to point out where Jinbao had made a mistake. His gentle and soft words made Mrs. Wei frightened to the core.

Before she fell into coma, she was still regretting that she was caught again.

But who asked that tigress to watch over him so closely? It took so long for him to finally go out? She was afraid that if she didn't seize the opportunity, she would never have another chance to ask that unfilial daughter for anything!

While the side hall was quiet and tragic, in the main hall, Yan Wan felt somewhat flattered.

According to her idea, the emperor's coming meant that his illness was not serious.

Now he actually asked her to do nothing and serve her food and drink with his own hands, which made Yan Wan feel that... he was not doing a good job.

Yan Wan tried to ask: "Your Majesty, please, please don't be like this, I should serve you!"

Hongli stroked her long, smooth hair and said, "You are already suffering enough from carrying my child. Why do I need you to serve me?"

Yan Wan's lips turned pale with fear: "Your Majesty, do you want me to please Concubine Xian again?"

Seeing her frighteningly pale face, Hongli thought of the things he had done in the past. He touched his nose guiltily and pinched her cheek with a serious face: "Nonsense, you are on the same level as Concubine Xian, how can she be worthy of your flattery?"

In the midst of his busy schedule, he finally remembered what the chief envoy of the Imperial Observatory had said, that Yan Wan was a blessed person who could dispel those unclean things.

And sure enough, he suppressed his annoyance and came over, hugged the person in his arms, and then he remembered the good idea he had thought of when he was on the boat before.

Hongli gently stroked the back of her hand: "Wanwan, just give birth to the baby peacefully and take good care of yourself. I still want to be with you for a long time. We both need to live a long life."

Seeing that he really hoped that she would live longer, and that his words even revealed some dislike for Ruyi, Yan Wan had a vague feeling in her heart, but when she thought about it carefully, it seemed very vague.

She leaned softly in Hongli's arms, her face gradually flushed: "It is only now that I dare to believe that the emperor really likes me, and it is not because he wants to break up with me and feels guilty that he compensates me by giving me a promotion."

Hongli sighed: "You."

He touched Yanwan's beautiful hair, and under her long eyelashes, his dark eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Each of them has their own thoughts, but they don't need to say much to create an ambiguous and warm atmosphere.

Hongli accompanied her for dinner and wanted to stay overnight.

Yan Wan blushed with shame: "But Your Majesty, I, your concubine, cannot serve you."

She spoke carefully, holding her bulging belly with both hands, feeling worried and guilty.

Hongli said with a smile: "I just want to accompany you, don't think too much."

Yan Wan realized that she had misunderstood the question and her face turned even redder.

She was really pretty and elegant. Without any hairpins or jewelry, she looked like a jasmine flower with translucent dewdrops on it.

Hongli felt warm in his heart and touched her hair: "Go to bed and wait for me."

He was out for a while, and when he came back he had calmed down. Seeing Yan Wan lying there obediently waiting for him, he couldn't help but smile.

It was really strange, she was obviously a delicate and timid girl, but he felt most comfortable when he was with her.

He got on the bed and pulled her into his arms: "Go to sleep."

Yanwan lay in his arms and fell asleep in a short while.

When she woke up, Hongli had already gone to court and left a message saying that he would come to have dinner with her.

Chunchan's face was full of smiles: "I'm afraid if Concubine Xian knew about this, she would be so angry that she would die."

Lan Cui nodded repeatedly: "That's right! She was also made a concubine yesterday, but the emperor didn't go to her place, and he won't go today either!"

Yan Wan also laughed: "It's right! Let her think about teaching me how to do things all day long!"

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Suo Xin approach the door. She was about to leave with an embarrassed look on her face because she heard the three of them saying bad things about Concubine Xian. Yan Wan called her, "Come in. I didn't mean to avoid you!"

Suo Xin had no choice but to come in, lowering her eyebrows and smiling a little stiffly: "Master, I came to ask you what you would like to eat today."

Yanwan waved at her.

Suo Xin walked to the bedside.

Yan Wan said softly, "You always said that I was pregnant and needed someone, but you refused to leave the palace and marry. Now I have been fully appointed as a concubine, and both Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Li said that my pregnancy is stable, and the Emperor has come, which is enough to prove that I have not fallen out of favor. You should be willing to marry, right?"

Suo Xin bit the soft flesh inside her lips and whispered, "Master, this servant..."

She knelt down and said, "I want to wait until you give birth to a little prince before leaving."

Yan Wan sighed. This girl was really sincere. She asked Chun Chan to help her up and said softly, "I am going to have a big fight with Concubine Xian, so I can't keep you here.

After all, you are her old lover. If you still stay with me, even if you don't participate, some people will inevitably not believe you and say you are ungrateful. Your reputation will be damaged and it will be difficult for you to get along in your husband's family.

Being a woman has never been easy, and the world has always been harsh and mean to women. You have finally managed to get to this point, and I don’t want you to spend the rest of your life suffering from avoidable criticism because of these few months.”
