Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 537 Let’s Go to Jiangnan [End]

Half a year later, Yongyan firmly established himself on the throne with the help of the Fucha family, and everything began to get on track.

He was even busier than in his previous life. He wanted to be an emperor like his great-grandfather, holding all the power and making decisions on his own, so he had more to learn.

That day, he came to Yongshou Palace to pay his respects as usual. When he entered, he saw Yanwan lying on a recliner basking in the sun, and Jinzhong was reading a folk story book to her.

There was a faint and peaceful smile on her lips. She still looked so young and full of energy, just like when she held his hand and walked through every corner of the palace.

Jinzhong saw him first and stood up to salute.

Yongyan looked at him and found that he looked younger than when he was with the emperor. The gloomy and evil temperament in him was still there, but it was almost invisible.

Yan Wan opened her eyes: "Yong Yan is here."

Yongyan immediately smiled and said, "I'm here to see my mother."

Jinbao had already brought a stool and placed it next to Concubine Yanwan's couch, ensuring that when the emperor sat down, he could reach his mother by stretching out his hand.

Yongyan sat down, reached out and held Yanwan's hand, frowning slightly: "Mother's hands are still so cold."

Yan Wan smiled softly: "You are still talking about me, but look at yourself, you have lost a lot of weight in just two days without your period."

She squeezed his hand and touched his cheek: "Do you want to learn from your grandfather?"

Yongyan glanced at Jinzhong.

Jinzhong lowered his eyebrows and eyes, just like all the other eunuchs, without any sign of being arrogant due to his favor, and it seemed that he was not aware of the glance he had deliberately given him.

Yongyan smiled and turned his gaze back: "I will definitely listen to what you say, mother. I will accompany you to eat more later."

Yan Wan nodded with a smile: "That's definitely good. Mother will ask the kitchen to prepare your favorite rose sweet duck."

Yongyan reached out to Jinzhong and said, "Give me the book."

Jinzhong respectfully handed the book to him, and did not forget to show him the part he had just read.

Yongyan looked at Yanwan with a smile and said, "My son will read it to me."

He instructed Jinzhong: "Go and bring it to my mother..."

He glanced at all the food and drinks on the small table and paused: "Bring a blanket over, this blanket is not good."

Jinzhong said softly, "Yes, I will go right away."

As soon as he left, Yongyan's expression became visibly brighter.

Yan Wan looked at him with amusement: "You always like to tease him."

Yongyan asked, "Will the mother teach her son a lesson for him?"

Yan Wan tapped his forehead and said, "Mother knows your heart, how can you bear to do that?"

Yongyan was immediately satisfied. Being the king had its advantages, but his mother's partiality and love for him were also unique in the world. Even if it was someone his mother loved, it would be best for him to rank behind him. In this way, he would have more patience to give him some protection.

Yongyan smiled and said, "Son, continue reading for mother."

Yan Wan looked at him gently: "Okay."

The mother and son are basking in the sunshine, one smiling gently, the other whispering softly, all full of warmth.

Jinzhong stood in the corner holding a blanket for a while, smiled, and found a place to sit down, where he could see the mother and son in the distance without letting the two of them see him when they turned their heads.

After a while, he saw Yongyan start to ask Jinbao about his whereabouts, then he came out and handed the blanket to Yongyan with both hands.

Yongyan felt a little better and wanted to change Yanwan's blanket, but he was afraid that such a hassle would make his mother catch a cold again, so he pretended to casually put the blanket aside.

He glanced at Jinzhong, then smiled at Yanwan and said, "Mother, I asked a master from the Fahua Temple to calculate your illness. It is suitable for you to live in Jiangnan for a while to recuperate."

Yanwan was stunned.

Jinzhong looked at Yongyan in disbelief.

Yongyan was actually unwilling in his heart, but there were too many people in the capital city and it was not as good as being free and easy outside.

My mother is a woman, and if he, the emperor's son, hadn't found some excuses, she would probably have been trapped in this palace for the rest of her life.

Yongyan held Yanwan's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I cannot leave the capital at will. This time I went to Jiangnan, first, I hope you can take good care of yourself, and second, I hope you can visit more Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, add incense, and pray for me and the Qing Dynasty."

Yan Wan's eyes reddened: "Yong Yan..."

She said softly: "Good boy, mother knows your filial piety, but now you have just ascended the throne, mother can wait for you..."

Yongyan interrupted her and said, "Mother, I am busy with government affairs, and the time I can spend with you every day is really limited. You wait today, and wait tomorrow, but when you are old, you can't go to many places, and many things don't taste the same as before..."

His eyes were red. "When my son enriches the treasury, he will be able to take me out for a stroll. You don't have to wait for me forever. I also hope that you can go out more often in your best years, so that you can come back to accompany me when you are too old to walk."

He said softly, "At that time, my sons will be in their prime, and they will have grown up and can share my worries. They will be able to spend more time with me."

Yanwan hadn't cried for a long time, but the child's words made her burst into tears and choke with sobs.

She loved the child the most in her two lives. At this moment, she was completely relieved of all the hardships and sleep she had endured for this child.

She touched Yongyan's cheek gently: "Mother..."

Yongyan was really afraid that if he heard her say a few more words, he would really agree to let her stay with him, so he hurriedly said, "Mother, I'm hungry, let's eat!"

He wiped Yan Wan's tears, his eyes moistened: "Mother can stay in the capital for another half a month. Don't bother with others during this half month. Spend more time with your son."

Jinzhong was extremely happy, but he didn't dare to show it.

The emperor was already so generous, if he continued to be overjoyed, it would seem too much of a shame.

By then, not only is the emperor likely to change his mind, but even Ling Zhu'er will probably feel that he is not treating her child well.

He secretly pinched his thigh, tears coming out of his eyes due to the pain, and then he managed to suppress the anger on his face, lowered his head and hurriedly told people to prepare the meal.

Yongyan helped Yanwan up himself and muttered, "He is a man of good taste."

Yan Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "If I wasn't the most discerning person in the palace, how could I be your father's most trusted confidant?"

Although it was very unfilial, Yongyan couldn't help but smile: "I'm sure that the emperor must be very happy in his grave to see that you miss him so much and treat his confidant well."

Yan Wan slapped him and said, "You are so naughty!"

Yongyan's eyebrows curved, and he smiled gently and happily: "My son is very filial!"

He just gave all the filial piety that should have been given to the emperor to his mother. The emperor had many sons and he loved the children born by Ruyi the most, so he would definitely not mind that he was unfilial to him.
