Jinzhong held a cup of tea and gently placed it in front of the emperor.

"There are some rumors in the palace that the Empress and Concubine Xian are not on good terms."

Jinzhong hesitated, and the emperor stared at him. Then Jinzhong spoke faster.

"However, these rumors have been around for a long time."

The emperor held the tea and could not finish it, so he rubbed the teacup.

"Your Majesty, these rumors were spread by the people because the Empress had lost the Seventh Prince and Concubine Xian was pregnant."

"Your Majesty, please don't really believe that it is Concubine Xian's fault."

Yan Wan brought the tea to the emperor and looked at him eagerly, looking very well behaved.

The emperor had a myriad of thoughts in his mind.

Since the Empress had no children, the Emperor couldn't help but feel suspicious.

A cold wind suddenly blew in.

"Hey, who's on duty outside? I wonder if it's cold this early in the morning."

The emperor's attention was attracted by Jinzhong.

"Sir, I didn't notice it."

"Oh. It's Guard Ling. That's okay."

The emperor heard clearly the conversation between Jinzhong and Ling Yunche outside.

The emperor looked outside the palace with a suspicious look.

Is Ling Yunche eavesdropping?

"Of course I don't believe those rumors. You stay by the Queen's side and take good care of her for me. I will make sure Jingse gets married in style."

The more the emperor denied, the more it proved that he was convinced that the rumors were related to Ruyi.

"Yes. I will take good care of the Queen.

Your Majesty and Concubine Xian are childhood sweethearts, so naturally they cannot easily believe those nonsense."

The emperor hummed perfunctorily.

"Your Majesty, the Queen also said that Noble Concubine Xian is sensible, and the Queen wants Noble Concubine Xian to take care of Princess Jingse's marriage."

"Your Majesty is weak after all. Concubine Xian is the only one with the highest rank in the palace."

Yan Wan looked at the emperor carefully, worried that he would have objections to this matter. Fortunately, the emperor was only thinking about Jingse's glory.

"That's right. The Queen is indeed tired."

With the emperor's permission, Yanwan stayed with the emperor for a while, then left, saying that she would serve Langya.

"You go and invite Concubine Xian in person. I'm going to the Queen."

After Yan Wan came out, she asked Jin Zhong to invite Ru Yi, and she went to Lang Ya's residence to wait for Ru Yi to arrive.

When Langya heard that the emperor had allowed Ruyi to arrange Jingse's marriage, she felt relieved.

Ruyi was four months pregnant, so she had to come when Langya summoned her.

Ruyi has heard a lot of rumors in the palace these days, and she had many conflicts with Langya in the past. When she came here, she didn't seem happy for the queen at all.

As always, he lazily supported his cheek with his hand and curled up in his side.

Ruyi thought she was being lazy and comfortable, but in Langya's eyes she looked ungraceful.

"Noble Concubine Xian has only been healthy for four months, and she is already so overwhelmed?"

Ruyi straightened up reluctantly.

He stroked the armor in his hand, maintaining his dignity.

Yan Wan couldn't help but glance at Ru Yi's fat fingers. Yan Wan had never noticed that Ru Yi was so plump.

Langya followed Yanwan's gaze and also saw Ruyi's hand, then she withdrew her gaze with disgust.

"I asked you to come here to talk to you about Jingse's marriage. I'll trouble you to take care of it. The emperor has agreed."

"You have played an indispensable role in Jingse's marriage."

Ruyi was slightly surprised. Langya knew so quickly that she was giving advice to the Queen Mother. Ruyi felt guilty and stammered.

"Empress Xian, Jingse would like to thank you very much for finding such a good place as Korchin for Jingse."

Langya specially asked Jingse to accompany her today.

Jingse also knew what Ruyi had done, and felt very shady about it.

In order to play a trick on Ruyi, Jingse rarely called Ruyi "Empress Xian", but her tone was full of playfulness.

Ruyi was in the wrong, and her face turned red after being told by Jingse. She said with all her might:

"It is the emperor's wish that the princess marry into Khorchin, and it is also the princess' duty. If I persuade the princess to marry, it is also my duty."

Good. Ruyi actually brought up the responsibilities of the emperor and the princess to suppress Jingse.

Jingse became polite as well.

"Very good. Empress Xian is right. Then Jingse will marry for Daqing."

"Jingse obeys the Empress Dowager and the Emperor Father."

"It's just that, Empress Xian, Jingse is very curious. Is the baby in Empress Xian's belly a boy or a girl?"

Jingse looked at Ruyi's belly enthusiastically, and she felt a chill down her spine.

Jingse was not ready to let Ruyi go. Then he said:

"Jingse will pray day and night. Empress Xian is a virtuous concubine. She is as gentle as a chrysanthemum."

"I think you naturally don't want to give birth to a son to compete with others, so I wish Madam Xian to give birth to a princess."

"Give Jingse a sister."

"Jingse will be waiting in Korchin. Waiting for my good sister to come to Korchin. This is also her mission. Her duty."

Jingse finished speaking this sentence without stopping.

Ruyi leaned back heavily.

She never thought about whether the baby in her belly was a boy or a girl, or what her future would be.

But now she knows.

"Jingse, don't be rude."

After listening to Jingse's words, Langya felt more at ease.

It was unnecessary to dissuade Jingse.

Langya looked at Ruyi's belly with a smile.

"Noble Concubine Xian, it's still early for what Jingse said. There's no rush."

"I called you here because I have something to ask you."

"There have been rumors in the uterus these days, and I am not feeling well. These people are becoming more and more unruly. What do you think we should do?"

"Anyway, if I become incompetent one day, this harem will belong to you sooner or later."

Ruyi was shocked by Langya's frank and explicit test.

Somehow, she really wanted to say something unpleasant to Langya.

Even if it was because of the two slaps Ling Yunche received.

"The Queen is in good health, how can you say such things?"

If Ruyi doesn't say it, then Yanwan will say it. If Yanwan says it, Ruyi will be at a disadvantage.

When Ruyi heard Yanwan's answer, she resented Yanwan's initiative and her face darkened.

Seeing Yanwan so unconscious, Ruyi thought of the suffering Ling Yunche had endured.

Compared with Wei Yanwan's current glory, Ruyi felt unhappy.

He reluctantly stood up, squatted for a while and said to Langya:

"Your Majesty, you worry too much.

Although I, Your Majesty, and I have been childhood sweethearts, Your Majesty did give me the Jade Ruyi of his first wife.

But I have never dreamed of anything else."

For Ling Yunche, Ruyi chose to fight back against Langya.

"Cough cough cough..."

Langya was so angry at Ruyi's words that she coughed and couldn't speak.

"It's good that you don't have such thoughts. The Ulanara clan has already produced a deposed empress. I hope you will abide by your duties and not make the emperor angry again.

From now on, stop talking like guards or eunuchs."

Hearing Langya's sarcasm about Ling Yunche, Ruyi stood up.

Subconsciously, she thought of Ling Yunche's repeated requests for her not to cause trouble for Langya. She shouldn't have done that just now.

Ruyi suppressed her anger and said:

"Your Majesty, I am feeling unwell and will withdraw now."

After saying that, Ruyi turned around and left.

Ruyi came outside angrily and saw Ling Yunche talking to Jinzhong at the door.

Ruyi felt much better when she saw Ling Yunche.

I really wanted to tell him that I had just severely ridiculed Lang Ya and Wei Yan Wan on his behalf.

From afar:

"Ling Yunche, what are you doing here?"
