A quick journey starting from Wu Dalang

Ling Yunche didn't know that the girl he had been thinking about, Ruyi, had hooked up with the emperor, and Ruyi had never told Ling Yunche that she was pregnant. At this moment, Ling Yunche was harassing Wei Yanwan.

"Yan Wan, can you lend me another fifty taels of silver?" Ling Yunche pulled Wei Yan Wan's sleeve: "Just this time, the last time, I promise to pay you back next time"

"Ling Yunche, you have already borrowed one hundred taels of silver from me. I really don't have any extra silver to lend you. What on earth did you do with the money?" Wei Yanwan was a little tired. She lent him money out of their past friendship, but she didn't come here to be a sucker.

Ling Yunche couldn't say that he spent the money on Concubine Xian, so he had to leave in frustration. Before leaving, he even belittled Wei Yanwan: "Now that you've climbed up the social ladder, have you forgotten our previous friendship?"

Wei Yanwan glanced at Ling Yunche in confusion. It was clearly Ling Yunche who had broken up with her first, so why was he blaming her for being heartless now?

"Yanwan, what are you looking at?" asked the little sister who was good friends with Wei Yanwan.

"Nothing. By the way, the Second Prince said he would start giving us a speech today. Do you know what a speech is?"

"I don't know, but it is said that the eunuch Jinzhong who is beside the Second Prince has been following him, maybe he knows."

Thinking of Jinzhong, Wei Yanwan couldn't help feeling a little shy. Jinzhong seemed to be interested in her, but she didn't know if she was overthinking it. Her friend nearby saw Wei Yanwan's look and started to tease her.

"Yan Wan, Eunuch Jin Zhong has always taken care of you, why don't you go and ask?"

"This matter must be the Second Prince's secret. How can you ask casually? Eunuch Jinzhong will definitely not tell you."

"Okay, Yanwan, go and ask. Eunuch Jinzhong will definitely tell you." Wei Yanwan was a little moved by her friend's urging. She was very curious about how Jinzhong felt about her.

With a glimmer of uncertainty in her mind, Wei Yanwan came to Jinzhong. However, looking at Jinzhong's half-smile, Wei Yanwan couldn't help feeling a little nervous, and she wanted to retreat.

"Yan Wan, are you here to see the Second Prince? The Second Prince is busy now."

"No, I'm here to find you." Wei Yanwan mustered up the courage to look at Jinzhong.

"I'm still on duty, please wait for me." Jinzhong said and walked into the study. Wei Yanwan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but the next second, Jinzhong came out again.

"What are you still standing there for? Let's go." Jinzhong waved his hand gently: "I just asked for leave from the Second Prince. If you need any help from me, please lead the way now."

"No, I, I am..." Wei Yanwan followed Jinzhong and stammered. She didn't know how Jinzhong felt about her, nor did she know how she felt about Jinzhong. It seemed very awkward to ask like this.

"Have you encountered any difficulties? Are your family members bothering you again? Or is it because of Ling Yunche?" When Jinzhong mentioned Ling Yunche's name, he was quite gnashing his teeth.

"No, I just want to ask, what exactly is the speech that the Second Prince talked about?" Wei Yanwan thought of the excuse at the beginning and asked quickly.

"Second Prince said that I can't tell you about this for now. You will know when the time comes." Jinzhong kept it a secret: "But if you want to know, I can tell you."

"Jinzhong~ just tell me~" Wei Yanwan unconsciously began to act coquettishly towards Jinzhong, and just one sentence made Jinzhong feel sweet in his heart.

"Second Prince said that it is actually just another way of teaching. You will understand it clearly when the time comes. I can’t tell you the details," Jinzhong told Wei Yanwan truthfully.

"Is that so?" Wei Yanwan seemed to be thinking about something, and did not notice the fiery look in Jinzhong's eyes when he looked at her.

Soon it was time for Yonglian's first speech. Those who could come to listen were people selected by Yonglian. In addition to the palace maids and eunuchs around him, there were also several guards.

Of course, what Yonglian didn't know was that these guards had all been fed puppet pills by Bai Ruiji and were more reliable than anyone else. Yonglian, who was still ten years old, stood on a stool and began his speech.

"In my palace, you are not maids or eunuchs, but real people. You and I have the same aspirations. We are all like-minded people. We are comrades."

"Comrades, compatriots, the establishment and rise and fall of any dynasty follow certain rules, but why would any dynasty, no matter how powerful, collapse?" Yonglian paused and waited for everyone to answer.

"Because of the system" Wei Yanwan remembered that the second prince once said this.

"That's right, it's the system. As long as this system is in place, no matter who established the dynasty or how it was established, it will eventually fall, and the people will suffer. What we have to do is to find a system that can keep our people well fed and clothed..."

Yonglian was giving a secret speech in his own courtyard. Bai Ruiji was cutting off the emperor's spies and followers. She wanted the emperor to know nothing about the outside world. This would be easier for Yonglian and others to do their work.

"Empress, I'm thinking, Ruyi is pregnant, should we let her out of the cold palace?"

"If Your Majesty wants Ruyi to leave the cold palace, just issue an order immediately. Why bother telling me this?"

"But Ruyi is still carrying a crime, and I'm afraid Concubine Shen will think too much." The emperor didn't want to disappoint this one, but couldn't let go of the other one. His hesitation made Bai Ruiji very disdainful.

"In this case, Your Majesty should give Concubine Shen some compensation."

"That makes sense. Then confer the title of Concubine Shen as a consort and grant her the right to live in the main hall of the Yikun Palace. After Ruyi is brought out of the cold palace, confer the title of Concubine Xian on her so that Concubine Shen won't be angry."

The emperor suddenly came up with a good idea that made Bai Ruiji unbelievable. Wasn't the emperor afraid that the two would fight if they lived together? Although it would be Ruyi who would be beaten unilaterally.

The emperor was not worried at all because he had comforted A Ruo early in the morning. Of course, it was just his self-righteous comfort.

A Ruo was very happy to learn that she was promoted to a concubine, but then she saw Ruyi coming with a palace maid. A Ruo was furious: "Bitch, you still have the nerve to go back to Yikun Palace!"

"Empress Shen, our master is pregnant with the royal heir. Please don't hurt our master." The maid beside Ruyi stepped forward and protected Ruyi.

"Rong Pei, I just came out of the cold palace and don't want to cause trouble." Ruyi had a calm look on her face, but her hands were tightly protecting her belly.

Bai Ruiji was already three months pregnant, but the emperor thought she was only two months pregnant. The time that was concealed was all thanks to Bai Ruiji, and Doctor Wang kept his credit to himself.

A Ruo turned around and left. It didn't matter. Ruyi would live in the same palace with her in the future. She would have plenty of ways to torment her. Was she afraid that she would not have the chance to take revenge on her?
