Why do you always rush to join me after awakening?

Ling Yunche left in the middle of the night.

No one knew what he did during these two hours in Yiku Palace.

When he came out, the smile on Ling Yunche's face was almost overflowing, and he really couldn't stop it.

People who don’t know would think that he was getting promoted, getting rich, and getting married.

"Oh, it seems Guard Ling is in a good mood."

At this time, Jinzhong's figure looked particularly handsome under the moonlight.

It is this sinister tone that adds a sense of weirdness to the dark night.

Ling Yunche heard the familiar voice behind him, paused, slowly turned around, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Why are you here?"

Jinzhong crossed his arms and looked at Ling Yunche, who had just slipped out of Yikun Palace, with great interest. He did not respond to him, but instead joked, "I am a little curious about when the imperial guards can come to the Empress's palace to guard it."

"You are a servant, so do your job well and don't get involved in things that are not your responsibility."

As Ling Yunche spoke, he placed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his side, looking threatening.

In response to this, Jinzhong sneered, "Ha."

In fact, he heard a sound from inside the gate of Yiku Palace by coincidence, so he stopped for a moment to take a look.

Unexpectedly, he actually saw something different.

I didn't expect Ling Yunche to be so brave.

Same as him.

If this had happened under normal circumstances, Ling Yunche would have definitely mocked him. He probably felt guilty today, so he felt like he was fleeing when he left.

Ling Yunche had already left, and there was no point in Jinzhong standing there, so he went back to sleep.

Early in the morning, as soon as the gate of Yiku Palace opened, Hailan appeared at the door.

But her face didn't look good.

There was a clear dark spot under Hailan's eyes, and it looked like... she hadn't slept all night.

"Empress Yu, why are you here?"

"Rong Pei, I want to see my sister."

Rong Pei, a simple-minded woman, knew that it was Hai Lan who abducted the Emperor last night. Her face immediately drooped as she spoke up for Ruyi, "Empress Yu, I dare to say a few words on behalf of Empress Xian. What you did last night was indeed unkind. Our master treats you like a sister, and this is how you repay him?"

Faced with Rong Pei's accusations, Hai Lan was speechless for a moment.

Was she going to tell her sister's servants that she did this because she was afraid that her affairs would be discovered by the emperor?

Hai Lan's face, which was not fond of smiling, was even colder at this moment. She could only grit her teeth and endure Rong Pei's offense, saying, "Rong Pei, please let me in first."

Rong Pei was a stubborn person, so she simply pushed with both hands, turning them into door bolts and blocking Hai Lan outside the door.

"Let me in to see my sister."

"I won't let you!"

Even if Ruyi didn't want to hear the noise outside, she couldn't.

"惢心, who is Rong Pei arguing with so early in the morning?"

How could she not recognize Hailan's voice? She was just asking even though she knew the answer.

As a servant, Suo Xin could only cooperate with her and said, "Master, it's Concubine Yu coming over. Do you want to get up?"

Ruyi stretched lazily, and her already hoarse duck voice said lazily like a chainsaw, "I haven't woken up yet~ I don't want to get up~"

She had no reaction to whether Hailan was waiting for her at the moment.

Anyway, this is a matter between the master and the master, and she can't make any decision.

Otherwise you will be fined again.

Ruoxin secretly swore that she would never be such a complaining person again.

"Okay, if you don't want to get up, then sleep a little longer."

It won’t be her who gets scolded if she’s late for greeting.

Love can't afford it.

Rong Pei outside the door was still competing with Hai Lan.

It was not until the time for paying respects was almost up that Ruyi yawned and walked out of the Yiku Palace slowly.

When Hai Lan saw Ruyi coming out, she looked a little excited. As soon as she said the word "sister", she was ignored by the other party and walked straight past her.

Ruyi slowly fanned herself and instructed惢心 who was standing beside her, "惢心, ask the kitchen to make some milk cakes today."

Milk cake!

Hai Lan, who had been following Ruyi silently, had a lost look in her eyes that lit up again.

In this palace, only her sister knows what she likes to eat.

Is this milk cake made for myself?

"Sister, I——"

"By the way, there are still some Fragrant Concubine grapes left from the Emperor's gift yesterday. Have you frozen them all?"

"It's all on ice, Master."

"That's good."

From beginning to end, Ruyi never looked at Hailan.

This made Hailan feel extremely sad.

It was all for her sister that she forced herself to suppress her nausea and sleep with the emperor last night, even staying awake all night.

She was afraid that her sister wouldn't understand her, so she rushed over early in the morning to explain.

But...why can't my sister look back at her?

When they arrived at Changchun Palace and everyone sat down, Wei Yanwan quickly noticed something was wrong between the two of them.

Usually Hai Lan always sat next to Ruyi.

Today is quite interesting.

There are several sisters in between.

Looking at Hailan's expression again, she looked like a resentful woman who was abandoned by Lao Ru.

But Wei Yanwan was not the only one who laughed at the joke.

"Oh, what's going on, Concubine Yu? Did you upset Concubine Xian?"

"That's right. I heard that the Emperor summoned Wei Ying to sleep with him yesterday, but Wei Ying didn't show up. In the end, the Emperor went to Noble Concubine Xian's place. And what happened in the end? The Emperor went to Hai Lan's place~"

Concubine Jia insists on bringing up things that are not related to the topic.

Wei Yanwan saw that her face was almost beaming with joy.

That's just a weird way of saying it.

It’s as if the emperor can’t sleep without a woman.

Fucha Langya scolded, "Alright, Concubine Jia, stop talking."

Only then did Concubine Jia curl her lips and remain silent.

It was her eyes that kept rolling around that betrayed her inner thoughts.

Concubine Chun grasped the key point and asked in confusion, "How can Wei Yan not be here when he is sleeping with her? This is not okay. This is the second time."

Although Concubine Chun's tone sounded quite ordinary and meaningless, everyone present could hear that she was implicitly criticizing Wei Yanwan.

The emperor has appointed her for two consecutive days, but she doesn't know how to appreciate it!

"Hehehe~"

Concubine Jia felt that there was a lot of excitement this morning.

Just when she couldn't stop laughing, the queen glared at her and she stopped laughing.

"Today, I have a few things to say. From now on, when you use the small kitchen to cook, you must not use expired ingredients."

"You are not allowed to criticize servants arbitrarily, nor are you allowed to beat or scold them, or arbitrarily fine them."

"Also, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. If anyone uses their power to place someone close to the emperor, and this is discovered by me, they will be punished."

"Finally, I would like to emphasize the most important point: no matter who the Emperor favors, no one else can snatch his favor away."

It seems that each of these items is tailor-made for Ruyi...
