Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

When Hongli heard that Yongjin was ill, he was extremely anxious. He didn't have many princes. Although Jia Guiren was a bad person, the child was innocent after all.

He put down the memorial and immediately went to Qixiang Palace.

When Hongli arrived at Qixiang Palace, Ruyi also arrived.

Yuyan didn't know what was wrong with her. She hugged Yongjin and refused to let Jiang Yubin treat him. She let him cry and even scolded Ruyi and told her to get out of Qixiang Palace.

Seeing this farce, Hongli walked in with a gloomy face, "Lady Jia, what are you throwing a tantrum about? Isn't Yongjin sick? Why don't you let Doctor Jiang see him?"

When she saw Hongli, Yuyan ran to him and knelt down as if she had found a life-saving straw. Her face was picturesque, even her crying was so beautiful. Her tears were like the ink under the brush, quietly spreading, and every drop seemed to carry her thoughts.

"Your Majesty, may you be well." Ruyi walked up to Hongli and bowed gracefully.

Hongli asked, "Why is the Imperial Noble Consort here too?"

Ruyi stood firm, her eyelashes fluttering as she spoke slowly, "Today, Imperial Physician Jiang came to Yikun Palace to check my pulse. When I was seeing him off, I saw Xiyun from Qixiang Palace hurrying towards the Imperial Hospital. I stopped her and asked her, only then did I learn that the Ninth Prince was ill. I then brought Imperial Physician Jiang to Qixiang Palace to check on him, but who knew..."

Ruyi's explanation was so clear that it made Yuyan seem even more unreasonable.

Yuyan refused to give in and yelled at Ruyi, "Nonsense! How could you be so kind?" Her voice choked with sobs, and she furrowed her brows before continuing, "You hate me. You hate me for using Master Anji's affairs to frame you, causing Suo Xin, who was by your side, to lose her legs and arms and become a cripple. So you want revenge on me and want to harm my son. I'm telling you, I won't let you succeed."

Jiang Yebin's bony fingers clenched into fists. Even Hongli's face darkened. Was Jin Yuyan crazy? How dare she risk the prince's life to vent her anger?

Yongjin's crying became weaker and weaker, so he asked Li Yu and Jinzhong to come forward and take Yongjin away.

Yuyan struggled, but it was of no avail.

"What are you doing? Give the child back to me." Yuyan crawled to Hongli and hugged his thighs. "Your Majesty, let's wait for Doctor Qi to come. The Imperial Concubine has ulterior motives. She must want to kill my child."

"Jiang Yubin, go and check on the Ninth Prince first." Ruyi said.

Jiang Yebin took the order and went into the house carrying the medicine box.

Hongli sighed. Yuyan was Yongjin's mother, and he understood a mother's heart. He reached out to help Yuyan up, then looked at Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, Concubine Jia loves her son dearly, and I'm sure she didn't mean to offend you. Don't bother with her."

Ruyi smiled and said, "How could that be? I understand Concubine Jia's feelings."

Soon Jiang Yubin came out.

He lifted his clothes and half-knelt on the ground.

Hongli suddenly felt an ominous premonition and asked, "How is the Ninth Prince?"

"Your Majesty, I've already given Ninth Prince an acupuncture treatment, and he's fine now. However..." Yuyan's heart instantly lifted when Jiang Yebin hadn't finished his words. Jiang Yebin continued, "Ninth Prince is frail and has had heart palpitations since birth. He was frightened today, and his palpitations have returned. He must be taken good care of, otherwise it will be difficult for him to grow up."

Yuyan almost fainted when she heard the result, but Lixin supported her. This was the son she had risked her life to give birth to, and he couldn't die.

The more princes there are, the greater the possibility of inheriting the throne.

"How should it be maintained?" Ruyi asked.

"Ninth Prince's residence must be quiet. He must not be frightened again. Otherwise, if he gets a heart attack, I'm afraid there will be no way to save him."

"Jiang Yebin, I order you to make sure you treat the Ninth Prince well."

Jiang Yebin bowed and said, "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

Yuyan finally felt relieved when she saw Yongjin's face return to normal.

She took off her armor and touched Yongjin's forehead. She didn't want anything else now, she just hoped that Yongjin would be safe.

Yongcheng didn't know when he came to her side. He gently tugged at the corner of Yuyan's clothes, looked at her worriedly, and comforted her: "Mother, why are you crying? Yongcheng will wipe your tears for you."

Yuyan hugged Yongcheng and started crying.

Seeing that Yongjin was fine, Hongli and Ruyi also left Qixiang Palace.

The two walked side by side on the palace road, just like Hongli and Langya back then. I never thought that after being sent to the cold palace, Ruyi could come out safely and would soon be made queen.

Hongli said, "The wedding date of Suo Xin and Ling Yun Che is approaching soon, right? Suo Xin is someone close to you, and I do feel a little sorry for her. Please prepare more dowry for her so that she can marry Ling Yun Che in style."

Ruyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will."

"After Ruoxin's wedding, it will be the ceremony to crown her queen. Concubine Jia has given birth to three princes for me, and Yongjin is in poor health, so I want to promote her to a concubine."

Ruyi was unhappy, but Yuyan had already been punished. She was also about to be crowned as the Empress. If she said she didn't want to, the Emperor would definitely be angry. She was just a concubine, while she was the Empress. There was a huge difference.

She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please make your decision. I have no objection."

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Yiku Palace was decorated with lights and covered with red silk. Concubines came in and out of the gate of the Yiku Palace in an endless stream. Most of them were just giving face to Ruyi and pretending to be there, and they did not come to congratulate her sincerely.

Lingzhi and Shuizhi helped惢心 to dress up.

Ling Yunche came to Yiku Palace early to pick up the bride with a big red flower on his chest. In fact, he just wanted to stay with Ruyi for a while longer.

It was a rare occasion that Yan Wan came. Seeing Ling Yunche from a distance, she walked up to him and greeted him generously, but Ling Yunche did not give her a good look.

Yan Wan felt aggrieved, but still smiled and congratulated him, "Brother Yun Che, congratulations."

Ling Yunche turned his head aside and said coldly, "Thank you."

"Brother Yun Che, the ring you gave me... is lost." Yan Wan said dejectedly, touching her empty fingers.

"It's lost, so let it be. From now on, my humble servant and I will part ways. Ling Yunche wishes you continued success and that you will get what you want soon."

"What are Concubine Ling and Lord Ling talking about?" When Ruyi came out of the house, she saw the two of them whispering together. She walked up to them and asked with a smile.

Yan Wan bowed, "I greet the Imperial Noble Consort. I'm an old acquaintance of Guard Ling. He's getting married today, and I've come to congratulate him. I have something else to do, so I won't bother Guard Ling any longer."

After saying this, Yan Wan held back her tears and retreated.

Ling Yunche's expression changed immediately when he saw Ruyi. He stepped forward and flattered her, "Royal Noble Consort."

"You must be anxious, Suo Xin will be here soon."

Ling Yunche didn't care about惢心 or 四心. He carefully took out a plum blossom wood hairpin from his arms and handed it to Ruyi.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. This humble servant made it myself. It's a little ugly, but please don't dislike it, Your Majesty."

He blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

A hairpin is like a handkerchief in a woman's hand. It is an extremely private item and is usually given by a man or woman to express his or her love.

Ling Yunche's actions were so obvious that Ruyi was like a young girl in love, ignorant of the world. She accepted the hairpin and said with a smile, "It's very beautiful. Guard Ling is thoughtful."
