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

Jingse went to the palace where the people were under house arrest and almost emptied out Ruyi's things. The news soon reached the ears of the emperor.

When Li Yu came to report, the emperor was in his bedroom, served by Concubine Mei. Listening to Li Yu describing in his best possible way the grievances suffered by Concubine Xian, a layer of dark clouds floated under his eyelashes.

What about Princess Hejing disregarding the emperor's order and being stopped by the chief guard? What about Concubine Xian paying her respects to the princess but the princess did not allow her to get up?

Ruyi was described as being so miserable. The image of a wronged concubine mother who was bullied by a legitimate princess suddenly appeared in front of the emperor from Li Yu's mouth.

The emperor was leaning back in his chair while Concubine Mei was gently massaging his legs. After hearing these words, she did not stop the movement, but became more serious and worked harder.

The emperor pinched the root of his nose, his expression remained calm, and he ignored Li Yu who looked anxious and distressed, and just said lightly, "Li Yu, I know, you go down first."

Li Yu looked at the emperor's calm face. He couldn't understand whether the emperor felt sorry for Princess Xian or for something else. He wanted to open his mouth to persuade her again, but seeing that both Concubine Mei and the emperor had no reaction, he had no chance to show Ruyi's grievance by replying. He could only sigh slightly and retreat.

Only Concubine Mei was left in the room, quietly massaging the emperor's legs. The emperor closed his eyes, his face gloomy, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Meipin asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you unhappy because of what happened just now?"

She looked up at the emperor's reaction and saw that he had no intention of stopping her from continuing, which meant that he tacitly allowed her to continue.

"After all, Imperial Concubine Xian is also a high-ranking concubine. Although she deliberately made the Empress sick and was confined by the Emperor, Princess Hejing felt sorry for the Empress and only gave her a small punishment and took some dead things. Imperial Concubine Xian was not really hurt."

Meipin's tone was full of hesitation, which was entirely out of consideration for Ruyi. "But Princess Hejing is still a bit too much. After all, Concubine Xian is her elder."

The emperor opened his eyes and looked at Concubine Mei's sincere face, then thought that Ruyi's recent behavior was not quite appropriate.

Jingse was his most beloved daughter, the apple of his eye. She only took some ornaments from Ruyi's palace. There was nothing wrong with her. After all, it was Ruyi who made the mistake first. She made the Queen so angry that she couldn't get out of bed for several days. It was normal for Jingse to be angry.

However, Jingse was already an adult, and she acted so recklessly. The emperor thought about it and felt that he couldn't let her do whatever she wanted. He also wanted to see what Meipin thought, so he said:

"Jingse is the only daughter of the Queen and I. When she was born, I personally took care of many things. Later, many princesses were born. Even the fourth princess of Concubine Chun could not compare to Jingse in my heart."

The emperor's eyes showed some reminiscence. He recalled the time when Jingse was still a child and the time when father and daughter were together. "My daughter is not competitive. No matter how you pamper her, it is not too much. Even if Jingse is a little spoiled occasionally, I just think that she is happy because of my favor and that's why she does these things."

The emperor sighed, "But today, Jingse really went a little too far. After all, Concubine Xian is her stepmother." He looked at Concubine Mei, waiting for her answer.

Meipin stopped what she was doing, her eyes wandered, and she answered while thinking, "I also had a child, and I know how much a mother loves her child. I think the child loves his mother with the same affection."

"Your Highness's love for your mother is certainly no less than the Empress's love for the princess. Princess Jingse has been taught by the Emperor to be a very affectionate person who puts filial piety first. Even though she was a little reckless today, it was out of pure filial piety." Concubine Mei looked considerate as she defended the princess.

Speak for Ruyi? How could it be possible? Her sister Yanwan suffered from Ruyi, and as a sister, she could not just sit back and watch.

"The princess must have thought that she was going to get married and would not be able to stay with the queen and you all the time, so she was anxious to protect the queen's face." Meipin sighed deeply and praised, "Although the princess is young, she is really filial and sincere."

"I can be considered as the princess's stepmother. I have watched the princess for so many years, so I can't help but have some motherly love for her. If the princess made any mistakes, I would just treat her as a child who is still ignorant. How could I blame her?"

Meipin raised her eyebrows, revealing the light pink powder on her eyelids. "Noble Concubine Xian has always been generous and kind. She must love the princess more than I do. Who knows, Noble Concubine Xian may have forgotten about this matter now."

Hongli showed a satisfied look on his face, nodded, and agreed, "Jingse is about to get married, so she is a little uneasy."

The emperor paused and continued, "She is very filial, and Concubine Xian will certainly understand. Jingse has a kind heart, and I can't bear to punish her."

The emperor looked at the ruby ​​beads hanging on Concubine Mei's hair and thought that he should give his daughter some precious head ornaments to comfort her nervous mood about getting married.

He didn't care about it. He didn't expect that his daughter would feel uneasy about getting married. What's more, Jingse had been spoiled by him since she was a child. She must be uneasy about getting married suddenly.

Meipin said it very well, he should give Jingse peace of mind.

"Yes, I should give Jingse something precious as a boost." The emperor's simple compliment instantly relieved Meipin's nervousness.

She knew how much the emperor loved his daughter. Now that Jingse had made a mistake, due to the rules, someone had to stand up and plead for the princess so that it would not appear that the emperor was acting on his own whim.

If she said at this moment that the princess should be punished, the emperor would probably get up and leave immediately, and it would be difficult for them to see each other again in the future.

The emperor only wanted to hear her praise Jingse, not to say that she wanted to punish Jingse. Fortunately, she was smart and really understood the meaning.

Concubine Mei smiled at the emperor, looking very happy for the princess.

Seeing that she truly loved the princess, Hongli had an idea and said, "You have been a concubine for some years. Choose an auspicious day and confer the title of Mei Fei on you." This was the reward for her speaking up for the princess.

Meipin's face lit up with joy and she thanked him immediately. She didn't expect that after stepping on Ruyi, she would receive such an unexpected surprise.

It turned out that it was Yan Wan who brought her blessing. If it were in the past, she would still have some good impression of Ruyi. At this moment, she would probably say a few words for Ruyi, which would go against the emperor's wishes.

What's more, it was because of a few words with Yan Wan that she knew who her real enemy was. Now that she has become a concubine, she has more ability to seek revenge.

Her good sister is really her lucky star. Meipin happily massaged the emperor's legs again, thinking that she had to tell Yanwan the good news in person and make her happy.
