Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Jinzhong was standing behind Li Yu, so he naturally heard what Ruyi said.

He was holding a grudge in his heart.

Eunuchs have no roots, but Ruyi is the Imperial Noble Consort and now has been canonized as the Queen. Not only does she have character flaws, she doesn't even understand the most basic social etiquette.

Jinzhong lowered his head and sneered, silently repeating five words in his heart: Let's see when you are done.

Li Yu said, "Royal Noble Consort, you are of course the one and only queen. Apart from the residences of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, no other palace in the harem can compare to the luxury of your Yikun Palace."

Li Yu's words made sense, and Ruyi's attitude softened instantly. Rong Pei limped forward to support her and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't worry about these things. The most important thing is to receive the title."

Ruyi quickly knelt down and said, "Since this is the emperor's wish, I will accept it."

Li Yu's face was cold as he began to read the imperial edict, "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees:

I believe that the virtues of heaven and earth are united, promoting the merits of nurturing and cultivating; that internal and external order is complete, fulfilling the purpose of promoting harmony and peace. Here, rituals are prepared, and education flourishes. I advise you, the Ulanara family, whose virtues are enduring and whose achievements are respected and inspiring. Your gentle and kind nature makes you a model for the education of women in the imperial court; your chastity and self-discipline make you a role model for all nations. I hereby, in compliance with the Empress Dowager's command, enthronize you as Empress. You must uphold filial piety, be respectful and diligent, and carry forward the legacy of your descendants, while supporting the ancestral temple and maintaining its venerable rites. Respectfully!"

Ruyi kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Li Yu closed the imperial edict and presented it with both hands. Although he had a smile on his face, his tone was cold.

"Your servant congratulates Her Majesty the Queen."

Li Yu glanced at Jinzhong and signaled him to hand over the empress's seal.

Rong Pei, who was originally kneeling behind him, immediately took the imperial edict upon seeing this.

Ruyi took the imperial edict and looked at it again and again, but she couldn't stop smiling.

Look, she finally became the queen. So what if Langya snatched away the position of legitimate wife that belonged to her? Sooner or later, it will be returned to her.

Who else can compete with Ruyi for the position of empress? Are they worthy? Langya dared to do so. She won the favor of the empress dowager and the late emperor because of her family background, but what was her final outcome? Her legitimate sons died one after another, and even her only daughter married far away to Khorchin.

Some time ago, I heard that Jingse had a difficult labor and survived many hardships before giving birth to the prince.

The prince consort cheated on her while she was pregnant. Although they were husband and wife, they had actually been estranged for a long time.

This is retribution, retribution.

Ruyi cried with joy and held the imperial edict tightly in her arms.

The Yikun Palace was so deserted that not even a single person came to congratulate Ruyi on her enthronement day. However, Ruyi didn't care.

Seeing Ruyi immersed in joy, Li Yu spoke, "Empress, the Emperor said he is busy today and will come to see you in Yikun Palace later. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Without waiting for Ruyi to speak, Li Yu and Jinzhong left.

Rong Pei looked at Jinzhong's back, and when she thought about how her legs became like this, all thanks to him, she felt so angry that she wanted Ruyi to catch him and punish him.

Rong Pei suddenly burst into sobs.

Ruyi was a little displeased. How dare someone cry on the day she was crowned queen?

"Rong Pei, what's wrong with you?"

Rong Pei knew she was being rude, so she knelt down and wiped the tears from her eyes. "I'm happy for Your Majesty. After all the hardships, Your Majesty finally became the Queen. It's just that I have a lame leg, so it will be inconvenient for me to serve Your Majesty in the future."

In fact, Ruyi was quite satisfied with Rong Pei. She was quick-witted, nimble, and loyal to her. It was a pity that such a good person was beaten and crippled.

But the person who gave the order was her husband.

Ruyi couldn't bring herself to apologize to a palace maid, so Rong Pei could only blame herself for her bad luck. Helping Rong Pei up, Ruyi smiled and comforted her, "Rong Pei, I know you've been wronged. From now on, you can rest assured and stay in Yikun Palace to serve. As for your leg, I know it must have been that dog servant Jinzhong who hit you without mercy. Just wait. When I catch him doing something wrong, I will definitely break his leg to avenge you."

"Thank you, my Lord." Rong Pei was deeply moved by Ruyi's words again.

Lingzhi and Sanbao looked at each other. Ever since Empress Xiaoxian passed away, they had lived in fear every day, fearing that they would be physically punished if Ruyi was unhappy.

There was no time to move away, yet there was still a fool who liked to move forward.

Maybe she doesn't understand Ruyi's character yet.

But it’s better this way, at least they don’t have to live in fear every day.

Hongli had originally wanted to invite Prince Chun's wife to the palace to witness his wedding to Ruyi, which was more than a decade late, but Prince Chun's wife declined the invitation, citing ill health. Hongli had no choice but to give up.

Hongli understood that this was Prince Chun's opposition to his decision to establish a queen. Although he did not say it on the surface, he directly expressed his position through practical actions.

At night, Hongli went to Yiku Palace to accompany Ruyi.

Newlyweds, after all the hardships come happiness.

The two of them were as innocent as a newly married couple. Served by Rong Pei and Ling Zhi, they drank the wedding wine.

A night of love.

The next morning, Ruyi was still lying in bed soundly asleep, while Hongli had already dressed and gone to the morning court.

When the new queen ascended the throne, all the ladies in the court came to pay their respects, and惢心 was no exception.

Shuizhi pushed惢心 in front of Ruyi.

Ruyi put the two pairs of earrings in her hands into two wooden boxes and gave them to Rong Pei.

Seeing that惢心 looked much better than before, Ruyi's guilt also dissipated a lot.

Ruyi asked, "惢心, have you been okay these days? Is Ling Yunche treating you well?"

Suoxin was silent.

She stared straight at Ruyi. How dare Ruyi ask her if she was doing well? 惢心 also wanted to ask her if she had been doing well during the past ten years as the emperor's concubine.

惢心 ignored her, glanced away and no longer looked at Ruyi.

Ruyi smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, even after惢心 and Ling Yunche got married, they couldn't resolve her heart knot.

"The Queen is talking nonsense to you, how dare you be so presumptuous." Rong Pei couldn't stand it anymore, she pointed at惢心's face and condemned her.

"Rong Pei, step back." Ruyi frowned, then turned to惢心 and spoke softly, "惢心, I know you hate Concubine Jia. It was she who caused you to become like this. Don't worry, I specifically asked you to come here today because I wanted you to see Concubine Jia suffer retribution with your own eyes."

After saying that, Ruyi asked Rong Pei to go out with two wooden boxes containing earrings.

Lingzhi and Shuizhi pushed惢心 in front of the curtain to peek.
