Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace
Chapter 297 Shui Linglong
The song and dance presented by the governor were not valued by the emperor, but there was always no shortage of people who wanted to curry favor with the emperor.
Prefect Feng's family has already arranged new songs and dances. If Meiruo is pregnant, there will be even fewer people in the palace who can accompany the emperor. It is not easy for him to always refuse the face of local officials. After all, they are all loyal and patriotic people. Moreover, the prefect of Hangzhou still wants to congratulate Yingpin on her pregnancy, which is also thoughtful.
The emperor could only reluctantly accept the beauty's offer of dance.
Lord Feng had previously inquired about the Emperor's preferences from "Ling Yunche", and this time they were indeed very creative. The two dancers in the middle did not look like experts in this art, and they were a little clumsy in their demeanor. Next to the skilled dancers around them, they looked like little rabbits that had strayed into the place, pitiful and adorable.
The emperor then became interested and asked the two dancers in the center to unveil their veils. Both of them were beautiful girls from petite families and they looked at him shyly.
One of them was even more surprising. She looked very much like Concubine Ru who was sitting above her, as if she had dressed up deliberately.
This made the emperor feel complicated, and Ruyi felt even more mixed emotions. She was happy that everyone knew that she was the emperor's true love, but she was worried about the gap between her and the emperor, and she was afraid that they could never go back.
There was a Ruyi on the stage looking at him, and there was another Ruyi sitting among the concubines below looking at him, and there was also a noble lady Ying who looked similar to Qingying.
Ever since the last time the emperor fainted from anger, he sometimes felt that as soon as he closed his eyes he could see many faces of Ruyi dancing around, shouting, "Deer blood wine! Deer blood wine!"
The emperor felt uncomfortable. If he ordered this girl to serve him, in the long run, the people under him would probably offer countless women who looked similar to Ruyi to him.
Then his harem would be filled with Ruyi!
The emperor raised his hand, turned it, pointed at the woman next to him and asked her name.
Zhou Yunlan originally thought that he was just a foil, serving to highlight the goodness of the woman next to him whose face resembled that of a noble lady in the palace, but he did not expect the emperor to show him mercy.
Zhou Yunlan replied to the emperor gently. The emperor smiled and allowed her to stay in the palace and gave her the title of an official lady.
After hearing the news, Lord Feng was very happy. Although one person was returned, it was enough as long as there was someone the emperor liked.
The emperor had no interest in the two women he carefully selected who looked like Rupin. It seemed that his heart was as deep as the sea and he was tired of Rupin.
Lord Feng gave up the idea of looking for a few more women who looked similar to Concubine Ru.
This is also what the emperor wants. Don’t send him women who look like Rupin anymore!
He won't take it anymore.
To be honest, the emperor was secretly afraid of Ruyi's face. Whenever he saw this face, he always thought something bad was going to happen.
Although the emperor kept the people, he was not very happy every day. Jinzhong's few words made the emperor want to go for a walk by the West Lake alone.
The last time he was here, Langya was still there.
Now things have changed and people have changed. The emperor felt sad. As he walked, after getting on the boat, he heard the sound of stringed instruments and saw a woman at the bow.
The person was dressed in white, dancing gracefully in the moonlight, the same dance that Yan Wan had danced under the plum blossoms by the West Lake.
The emperor was moved, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "Not bad."
The girl stopped moving and looked back at the emperor. Her eyes were as black as gemstones and her palm-sized face was charming and attractive. She then said to the emperor, "My name is Shui Linglong. I am a prostitute in Linglongfang who only sells her art but not her body. Eunuch Jinzhong asked me to dance for the emperor to make you smile."
The emperor glanced at Jinzhong and nodded in appreciation, and Jinzhong quietly withdrew.
It was a few years earlier, and Shui Linglong was not yet a famous and popular prostitute, so Jinzhong invited her over in advance.
It was just when Shui Linglong had just finished her studies, she had a natural charm, but also a hint of immaturity and nervousness. The most wonderful thing was that Shui Linglong had never seen a man, which completely met the emperor's hidden expectations.
Men have always liked to save prostitutes, so Jinzhong made up a sad and touching background for Shui Linglong.
A gambling father, a seriously ill mother, a young brother, and a broken self.
Shui Linglong has no choice but to come to this place of fireworks for the sake of her mother and brother. How pitiful.
The emperor felt pity for Shui Linglong and at the same time felt that he was Shui Linglong's destined benefactor, otherwise why would Jinzhong invite her here when she was about to appear on stage for the first time? So she stayed on the boat that night.
The next day, Chunchan said while dressing Yanwan, "The emperor seemed to have favored a prostitute last night."
Yan Wan's hand, which was drawing her eyebrows, trembled. She looked at Chun Chan in surprise and asked, "Do you know the name of that woman?"
Chunchan didn't understand and said, "I heard from the servants that her name is Shui Linglong."
"Although Miss Shui Linglong is a prostitute who sells her art but not her body, and has not officially performed on stage, she was invited to entertain the emperor." Chunchan relayed the news she had inquired about to Yanwan, and she added, "But this is also a very surprising thing."
"If this girl becomes the mistress, there will probably be chaos in the palace." Chun Chan couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. As a woman, she was worried about a girl with an uncertain future.
Once she was favored, if she stayed in the palace, she would always be criticized for her background. If she did not stay in the palace, she would probably have to stay in the temporary palace forever, or be accompanied by green lamps and ancient Buddhas.
Yan Wan's heart was beating fast, and she suddenly asked, "Where is Jin Zhong?"
Chunchan added, "Eunuch Jinzhong was on duty last night. I think he is still serving the emperor now."
Yan Wan casually inserted two hairpins into her hair, quickly finished her makeup, then stood up and said, "I want to see him." After that, she hurried out the door.
Chunchan followed hurriedly behind, she didn't know what was going on. In the past, if her master wanted to see Jinzhong, she only needed to send someone to pass on a message, and Eunuch Jinzhong would come when he was free. There had never been such an urgent situation where she had to say she wanted to see someone and go find him immediately.
What is going on here?
Yanwan hurried towards the imperial ship from her previous life.
Jinzhong was not such an imprudent person. Why did he die in his previous life? Why did the emperor force others to kill him? Wasn't it because Jinzhong and Yanwan chose a few prostitutes to present to him?
Why do this now?
Why didn't he discuss it with her before doing it? Why was he so anxious for the position of Imperial Concubine?
What belongs to them will be theirs sooner or later.
The more Yan Wan thought about it, the angrier she became. She was walking in a hurry and didn't pay attention to the stones under her feet. She almost fell down. Fortunately, Chun Chan was quick to support Yan Wan and prevented her from falling.
It's nothing serious, just that Yanwan's ankle feels a little painful, but now is not the time to focus on that.
The important thing is to save Jinzhong’s life!
