Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

The emperor just held Langya's hand and said, "I have decided to marry Jingse to Sebuteng Balzhuer, the son of the Khorchin prince."

Seeing that the queen had already covered her face and cried bitterly, Hongli felt a little distressed and could not help but call her, "Langya, don't cry. This is not bad news."

Langya looked at the emperor, and her heart was a little disturbed because he called her by her maiden name. She had not heard these two words for a long, long time.

Was it because of guilt? Langya didn't know.

Hongli handed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it."

Langya reached out to take it, only to feel the warmth of Hongli's palm, "Queen, I will leave Jingse and Ezhuo in the capital."

Langya looked into the eyes of Hongli, the man she had loved deeply since her youth. She was looked at by those eyes as deep as obsidian, with her gaze framed by his long and thick eyelashes.

As a young couple, they have been together for decades. Langya was once heartbroken because of the lack of love for the emperor, but as long as she was looked at by such affectionate eyes, all her resentment disappeared.

What's more, the emperor was so worried about Jingse's marriage and loved their two daughters so much that he wanted to keep the princess and her husband in the capital instead of marrying them far away.

Like her, Hongli deeply loved their children.

Langya's tears fell again, and the emperor teased her helplessly, "Why is the Queen crying again?" He took the handkerchief from Langya's hand and wiped her tears.

The queen threw all her dignity and politeness out of the window and said, "Your Majesty," with a tearful tone that was filled with joy and gratitude, and then she hugged Hongli's waist.

The emperor felt helpless, "Jingse is my most beloved daughter after all." He raised his hand and put his arm around Langya's shoulders.

The two of them were like an ordinary loving couple, talking about the princess's interesting childhood stories.

The Queen was in poor health. Although she had recovered in the past few days, she was still very upset by the sudden heartbreak. The Emperor did not want her to worry too much, so he asked Concubine Chun to help share the trivial matters that Langya needed to deal with.

As for why it was not Ruyi, the emperor already knew why the queen was sad. Su Lian had already reported what happened that day. Concubine Xian was unreasonable, the queen was angry, and Concubine Mei and Noble Lady Ling defended her many times.

Although Su Lian is the Queen's person and will definitely speak on her side, the fact is that Ruyi did take the Queen Mother's ornaments and said she wanted to add to Jingse's dowry.

I think Concubine Xian is already busy enough with some affairs, so let Concubine Chun do the rest.

*Yanwan's residence in the courtyard

It was late at night outside. As soon as the emperor decided to keep Jingse in the capital, he went to the queen, and neither of them told anyone.

So everyone in the palace only knew that the queen was sad. The emperor had gone to see her. In addition, the voice of the previous dynasty had always been for Princess Jingse to get married, so everyone speculated that Princess Jingse might be marrying far away. The emperor told the queen to go.

Everyone was looking at the Queen's reaction, but the strange thing was that the Queen's place was indeed very quiet, and there was no sad atmosphere at all.

Everyone thought that Langya must have accepted the message from the Fucha family and was forced to agree. Although she did not show it on her face, she was probably very sad in her heart.

Yanwan already knew that Jingse was going to marry far away, but she also felt a certain empathy for Langya. She also had a daughter, so she could naturally understand Langya's sadness.

Today, the emperor met Yanwan at Langya's place during the day. Although she was plain, she was also pleasant. He didn't want to see Ruyi at the moment, so he naturally thought of her.

He came here tonight without informing Jinzhong in advance. He also wanted to see what Yanwan was doing without any preparation.

As soon as she entered the room, Yanwan was still dressed as she did during the day, and was carefully copying the page about lilies in the flower book that Shupin had given her. However, the day was short when she was learning to paint, so her painting was not very vivid.

"Raise your wrist higher, and don't press the ink too hard, otherwise it will lose its spirit." Hongli looked at Yanwan seriously, not letting the servants talk, and came closer, covering her with his body, holding Yanwan's hand and teaching her.

This stroke of the brush, with a proper balance of reality and virtuality, adds a touch of life to the lily.

Yan Wan's face lit up instantly. She looked up at Hongli's chin, surprised and delighted, "Why is the emperor here?"

Hongli removed the hand that was covering the back of Yanwan's hand and touched her face again, "I saw that you were diligent in serving the Queen today, so I came to see you."

Yan Wan obediently placed her chin on Hongli's hand and put down the pen. "It is the concubine's duty to serve the Queen. Besides, the Queen is tolerant and treats me very well."

She was talking, looking at the painting in front of her, her hands on her legs, sitting on a chair, waiting for the ink to dry, just like a student waiting for the teacher to give a lecture.

Hongli noticed that Yanwan was looking at the painting eagerly and laughed a little, "Do you like this painting so much?" He felt that Yanwan was very happy because he added the final touch.

Yan Wan blew the cotton paper carefully to make sure it was completely dry, and put it aside. "Of course, I like lilies. They have a pleasant fragrance and a good meaning."

"I didn't expect the reason for your preference is so straightforward. People around here like proud and noble things, but you are so vulgar that you enjoy being vulgar." The emperor sat on a couch beside him, half lying on his back, leaning against a soft pillow.

Yan Wan sat on a small stool beside his feet, leaning on the emperor's knees, tilting her head and pouting, pretending to be angry, "I am a rough person, I don't understand the elegance of the spring."

"Your Majesty, do you think I am clumsy and don't like me anymore?" Yanwan's voice became softer. She drew circles on the inside of Hongli's knee with one hand. Her round nails scratched on his clothes, making Hongli feel itchy.

He leaned forward and grabbed Yan Wan's messy little hand, looked at her smiling face, and coaxed her patiently, "Everyone in this harem is a little hypocritical, but you are so simple, pure and elegant."

Hongli wanted to tease her and asked her, "Which one do you like better, me or Lily?"

Yan Wan pursed her lips, looking conflicted. After a while, she whispered, "Of course I like the emperor more." After saying that, she became shy and buried her head in Hongli's legs, refusing to lift it up.

Hongli smiled slightly, "Then please give me this painting, Lady Ling."

Yan Wan shook her head and hugged his legs again, "Please don't, Your Majesty. This is the first painting you and I have ever made together. I must treasure it."

Hongli smiled even happier. Yanwan's appreciation of his writings really pleased him. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for you."

He reached out and touched the round hair on the back of Yanwan's head. It was smooth and fragrant with flowers. He sniffed it carefully and found that it was also the scent of lilies. He praised, "Lilies are indeed fragrant, not bad."

Yan Wan looked up at Hongli, her eyes curved with a smile, and said happily, "Since the emperor praised lilies, then lilies are my favorite flower in my life!"

Hongli pulled her up and asked, "What about me?"

Yan Wan leaned on the emperor and said, "My second favorite flower is lilies." The sound of two people laughing could be heard from the room.
