Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement
Chapter 78 Why haven’t you made any progress at all?
After Yanwan boarded the boat, she went to Hongli without stopping.
Concubine Xian has strange ideas. Who knows if she will really catch up and stop her from sincerely apologizing.
She looked anxious, with red eyes. Jinzhong, who was waiting at the door, was shocked: "What happened to Concubine Ling?"
Yan Wan was in a panic: "Eunuch Jinzhong, is the emperor in there? I have offended Concubine Xian, and I am here to apologize."
You offended Concubine Xian, and you took the initiative to apologize? That's fine. Jinzhong immediately opened the curtain, bent over and stretched out his arms: "Please go slowly."
Yan Wan naturally supported his strong forearm, pinched it lightly with her fingers, and hurried into the house.
Hongli was sitting on the couch, flipping through a book boredly. He looked over when he heard the noise.
Yan Wan called out hesitantly, "Your Majesty."
The man had already arrived and bowed, but before he could say anything, Hongli grabbed his wrist and pulled him into his arms.
Yan Wan exclaimed: "Your Majesty~~~"
Hongli touched the corner of her eyes and said, "You are old enough to be my mother, but you still cry like a little girl."
Yan Wan was both ashamed and embarrassed: "I, I will definitely change!"
Hongli was amused and chuckled. He pinched her earlobe and said, "Let's change it tomorrow."
Yan Wan looked at him blankly: "Your Majesty?"
Hongli stroked the back of her snow-white neck, his long eyelashes suppressing the darkness in her eyes, and whispered something that instantly made the girl's earlobes turn blood red.
He smiled happily and pushed the person onto the couch.
Yan Wan was both ashamed and embarrassed: "I haven't washed yet."
Hongli held her and kissed her for a while, then he chuckled and picked her up: "I haven't washed my concubine yet..."
Yan Wan covered his mouth with her slender, white and tender hands: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Please spare this concubine!"
Hongli looked at her blushing face and laughed out loud.
However, the ambiguous and charming atmosphere disappeared instantly because of Li Yu's voice.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Concubine Xian requests an audience!"
"Your Majesty? Concubine Xian seems a little anxious, maybe there is something urgent!"
Each of these sounds is like a death call.
Yan Wan hurried to get down: "Your Majesty, please put me down!"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Hongli's eyes.
Yan Wan was about to cry: "Empress Xian has always thought that I am reckless, ignorant of etiquette, and uneducated. If she sees me offending the emperor, she will definitely scold me in front of all the sisters tomorrow...I am really going to be so ashamed!"
She trembled all over and closed her eyes, as if she had given up everything. She said in fear, "That day...that day in Yongshou Palace, I was reckless... Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine scolded me afterwards, saying that she would give me a new bathtub and a soft couch, and would also hire a nanny to teach me. It was because I begged her with tears, and the Empress spoke up to protect me, that we didn't make a big fuss..."
As she spoke, she began to cry.
When Hongli heard the key words, he instantly remembered what she was talking about.
For many years, he had not favored any woman. He favored her so much that his legs felt weak when he got out of bed, and he did not enter the harem for several days.
He suddenly remembered something. In the few days after that day, Ruyi always asked people to deliver nourishing soup.
At that time, he thought that Ruyi was using the soup to make peace with him because of the previous quarrel, but it turned out... she actually felt that he was weak!
He originally wanted to carry Yan Wan to the inner room in anger, but when he thought about how he had treated Yan Wan today, Ruyi might know about it immediately, and he suddenly felt angry and disgusted.
Yan Wan was a little scared: "Your Majesty?"
Seeing that Hongli didn't say anything, she apologized first: "It was all because of me who seduced the emperor and made trouble, which tarnished the emperor's wisdom! Your Majesty, please punish me. As long as you punish me, the imperial concubine will be happy!"
Hongli was so angry that he laughed: "Ruyi is my concubine, not my mother. She shouldn't be involved in my bedroom! You little thing, you are really scared and talking nonsense!"
Although he was angry, he was very gentle when he carried Yan Wan back and placed her on the couch: "If you are afraid of her, don't go out to see her. Just wait for me here obediently!"
Yan Wan was so moved that she cried: "Your Majesty, you treat me so well! No one has ever treated me so well!"
Hongli tapped her forehead helplessly: "Crybaby!"
He pinched her cheek, turned around and walked out the door, going to the side room: "Call Concubine Xian over."
Yanwan pricked up her ears and listened for a while, silently wiped away her tears, her eyes full of joy and smile, without any fear at all.
She even found it amusing.
When she came back to life, she had already seen through the obstacles and knew what she wanted and how to get it.
And Ruyi...
People like Ruyi, even if they were to live their lives over again, would always ask for things they shouldn't ask for, and would make countless ridiculous decisions.
She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and buttoned her clothes one by one. Her gaze fell on the book that Hongli had just read. She sat down, opened it, and read it carefully.
The books that the emperor read must be useful, so she has to read them carefully. If there is anything she doesn’t understand, she can write it down and ask on the spot.
Teachers and students...
How interesting!
She was calm and composed, but in the next room, Hongli was so angry that he laughed.
"Ruyi, I have been watching the opera with you for a whole day. Yan Wan has only been on the boat for less than a quarter of an hour. You hurried over here and talked about this and that. What on earth do you want to do?"
He looked at her deeply: "Don't you always dislike jealousy and look down on the concubines who use tricks to win favor?"
Ruyi was hurt: "Does the emperor think of me like this?"
She had never been willing to compete for favor and make things difficult for him, because she knew in her heart that even though he was the emperor, he had his own reasons. He had to stabilize the court and favor some women.
But she was just afraid that Wei Yanwan would instigate her, so she wanted to tell him tactfully. Unexpectedly, not only did he not hear it, but he even thought that she was competing for favor.
Hongli rubbed his brows and said, "Ruyi, I know that I almost gave you the jade ruyi that represented the position of the wife, and you have always felt resentful..."
Ruyi couldn't help but interrupt him: "Your Majesty, I am not upset about this. You should know who is really upset."
Hongli paused and looked at Ruyi with deep eyes.
Of course he knew that Langluo cared, and he also knew that Langluo had done a lot of wrong things because of it.
But now Langlu has completely let go of her worries, and is doing her best to be a perfect Empress Dowager, loving and educating her children, teaching the concubines with tolerance, assisting him, taking care of him, and fulfilling the duties of the Emperor and the mother of the world with him.
Even Jing Jue, who once only knew how to talk about legitimate and illegitimate children, grew up to be a real Qing princess. She was proud but not arrogant, tolerant but not stupid, open-minded, smart and sharp, and broad-minded.
The concubines in the harem have also made progress.
Only Ruyi.
Only Ruyi and the people around her seemed to be still in the past, without any change.
He always thought that she was as quiet as a chrysanthemum, not caring about status, and that sometimes all her offenses against him and the Queen were due to her naivety. But her words just now clearly showed that she still remembered the time when she almost became a concubine.
Doesn't that also mean that she thinks she should be the queen?
Hongli looked into her eyes and said, "She has let go of the past, but you are still stuck in your youth. Ruyi, Yonghuang has been married for a long time, and you are old enough to be a grandmother. Why haven't you made any progress?"
