TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

As early as when the two started arguing, the wet nurses took the princes and princesses to the side hall, where there were more play facilities and they were not worried about their crying.

Jingxi didn't want to go, but seeing this group of fat kids who couldn't speak clearly, she had to follow them.

Ruyi is no longer the Concubine Xian who would get angry when she was criticized.

She smiled and looked at Jin Yuyan, "Yongqi has been feeling much better recently, so he should come and pay his respects to the Empress."

"As a mother, you don't care, so why are you telling us all this? Just don't pin the blame on the Empress when the time comes."

Langya ignored their bickering and set her eyes on Wei Yanwan.

The famous Empress Xiaoyichun, the only empress of Han descent, inexplicably became the winner in life as a villain.

At this time, Gao Xiyue had already brought the flames of war to Ruyi. In her heart, no one could offend Langya's authority at will.

"I simply thought the dress was beautiful and wore it without noticing it had a Yaohuang peony pattern."

"The Queen shouldn't mind, right? The Queen of Flowers and the Master of the Harem are in the hearts of the people."

Su Lujun was disgusted by Ruyi's innocent look and looked her up and down in a very presumptuous manner.

It says in your eyes that you don't deserve it.

"Of course. The Empress is the mother of the country. The position of the head of the harem cannot be represented by a pot of flowers."

"But this is not a reason for you to overstep your bounds."

Ruyi remained calm. Being besieged was something she had expected. As long as she could disgust the Queen, she would be satisfied.

It's just that there are more people present at the moment.

"It was just an unintentional mistake on my part. The Empress is always magnanimous and will certainly not hold it against me. But what about you?"

"The Empress hasn't even spoken yet, and you're already jumping in impatiently. Do you think a concubine can make decisions for the Empress?"

Seeing that Langya was still looking at him with a smile, she had no intention of speaking.

Ruyi cursed inwardly, this queen was indeed a deep-minded person. She didn't say a word, but took all the good reputation and raised this group of henchmen to fight for her.

Chen Wanyin's gentle voice broke the tense atmosphere.

"I heard that Concubine Xian is a talented woman who is well-read in poetry and literature, and the Ulanara clan is also a prominent family. It's a pity..."

"Today, I don't even recognize the pattern of the Yaohuang peony. It's pitiful."

"Empress Wan, you have always been gentle, why are you speaking so harshly now?"

Ruyi was greatly irritated by Chen Wanyin's pitying look. She immediately stood up and glared at her angrily.

She can fall out of favor and be ridiculed, but she can never be pitied.

Her background and knowledge are what she is most proud of, how can she let them be trampled underfoot?

Bai Ruiji slowly raised her hand, stroked the exquisite armor on her hand, and deliberately showed it to Ruyi, as if showing off something.

At the same time, he showed no mercy in his words.

"Meaningful? Concubine Xian, you really use these two sets of standards to perfection. Picking lotus flowers for us is considered vulgar, while picking plum blossoms for you is elegant and noble."

"Sister Wan Fei expressed her feelings, and you called her mean. You are so tolerant and kind, yet you let the Fifth Prince, whose health had just improved, suffer from the flu."

"Such a weird temper, we sisters really can't learn it."

After saying that, she gave Lu Muping a look.

The other party immediately covered his lips and laughed, "It's not shameful for the family's descendants to be unable to carry on the family legacy. That's all due to the men's incompetence. What does it have to do with us?"

"Sister Xianpin, don't be angry. I see that the maid is holding the Yaohuang Peony. Sister Xianpin, please take a good look and don't make a mistake next time."

Gao Xiyue gave Lu Muping an appreciative look and then agreed.

"Yes, hurry up and take a good look. I'm afraid you won't have such an opportunity again in the future."

"Who wants to see this thing? It's not like I haven't seen it before."

Ruyi was so angry that she forgot to pretend to be stupid and told the truth.

Jin Yuyan immediately covered her mouth exaggeratedly, "Oh~ So you knew that Concubine Xian was deliberately committing a crime!"

Wei Yanwan didn't dare to breathe as she listened. Anyone here could easily crush her to death.

It turned out that the high and mighty Concubine Xian was powerless against them.

At this moment, Wei Yanwan's ambition to gain power quietly sprouted.

She didn't want to be a slave that could be trampled upon by everyone. She wanted a better life and to be treated with respect.

When Ruyi saw them mention Wei Yanwan, her expression relaxed, and she thought the Queen would vent her anger on this palace maid.

Unexpectedly, they still kept pulling me, so I had to admit my mistake.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was disrespectful. After returning to the palace, I will change this dress and send it to Changchun Palace. I will leave it to Your Majesty to deal with."

After being silent for a while, Langya finally spoke.

"There's no need to wait until we get back to the palace. Take it off now. Su Lian, go check who in the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent this dress to the Yanxi Palace and deal with them all together."

Su Lian was of course aware that the Imperial Household Department would never do this, and the only person who could have such skills was Concubine Yu.

But the necessary process still has to be followed.

"Your Majesty, I have already admitted my mistake. How can I accept this?"

"Since you know this peony, why did you wear it to Changchun Palace? Isn't it just so I can peel it?"

"I really like this pot of peonies. These two maids brought them in the rain, and their skirts are wet. Lianxin will take them downstairs to change."

"Thank you very much, Queen, for your grace."

Ruyi didn't expect Langya to be so disrespectful to her, and she struggled and refused to give in.

The sound of palace maids paying their respects came from outside the door. Knowing that Hongli was about to come in, Ruyi struggled even harder.

His clothes were disheveled and many of the ornaments on his head had fallen off.

"What's going on here?"

Hongli had come here happily to watch the performance with the concubines, but as soon as he came in, he saw Ruyi in such a miserable state.

After knowing the whole story, Hongli looked at Ruyi with confusion in his eyes.

He didn't understand how far he had to go to live up to this relationship.

What on earth is Ruyi doing?!

"Your Majesty, rest assured. The imperial physician has just examined the Eighth Princess and the Fifth Prince. There's nothing wrong. Just have someone be more careful at night."

After hearing Langya's words, Hongli nodded slightly, and his reluctance to part with Ruyi also disappeared.

She really deserves a lesson for repeatedly disregarding the safety of the royal heir.

"Why are you standing there? Do as the Queen wishes."

"emperor!"

Ruyi's shrill scream scared everyone.

Hongli waved his hand and told people to act quickly. His indifferent attitude dealt a fatal blow to Ruyi.

It completely bent her back.

What made Ruyi even more unacceptable was that Hongli asked her to just change her clothes and wait here, and she was only allowed to go back after the excitement in Changchun Palace was over.

Everything in the original drama revolves around the heroine Ruyi.

In order to highlight her excellent character, she forced many outrageous actions on others.

And as she gradually loses the protection of her luck, all of these will slowly come back to haunt her.

Even Hongli, when he regained his senses, did not realize how big a blow such an insult was to Ruyi.

Ruyi's attitude towards the child made Hongli realize time and time again that the woman he had liked for many years was not so kind.

惢心 hugged Ruyi tightly and didn't dare to let go, trying her best to block the gazes of outsiders.

She wanted to take off her coat and put it on Ruyi, but was strictly forbidden.

When everyone was about to get up and go to the backyard, Wei Yanwan, who had changed her clothes, was led in by Lianxin.

She was wearing a beautiful light purple Manchu dress embroidered with large, dazzling peony flowers.

Although she is not a gorgeous girl, her beauty is not diminished by the clothes.

Wei Yanwan attracted Hongli's attention as soon as she entered the door.

Feeling the burning gazes of the crowd, she tried her best to suppress her somewhat rapid breathing and thanked Lianxin in a proper manner according to her instructions.

She kept recalling what Lianxin had said to her in her mind.

"Girl, you are so outstanding, have you made plans for your future..."

Having the opportunity to leave the palace and work for the Queen is an opportunity that an ordinary palace maid will never get in her lifetime, but Wei Yanwan still chose another path.

She didn't know why the Queen took a fancy to her, but she knew that this was her chance to soar to fame.

Even if there is arsenic behind the sweet dates, Wei Yanwan is willing to take the risk.

You can say she is vain or ambitious.

Wei Yanwan's idea was very simple. She was unwilling to work hard for several years and finally marry a man of unknown character and work hard for half her life.

So what if he really likes her? That's just how men are. Ling Yunche said all those nice things, but he still put his mind on Concubine Xian, whom he would never get.

But it’s different in the palace. As long as she wins the emperor’s favor and gives birth to an heir, her future will be secure.

Her descendants will be of noble descent, and even when her daughter gets married, she will have the opportunity to choose and a solid backing.

"I just thought this maid was pretty. This dress is truly extraordinary."

Langya stood in front of Wei Yanwan, bent down and pulled her up.

"Such a beautiful person is a feast for the eyes. She should stay in Changchun Palace in the future."

"I thank the Queen for her great kindness."

Wei Yanwan was so excited that she wanted to kneel down, but she forgot that her hand was still being held by the queen.

Gao Xiyue felt jealous at such special treatment, and she shook her handkerchief and started muttering.

"Your Majesty is so partial. I'm afraid you're tired of seeing us sisters. When you see a beautiful girl, you want to pull her right in front of you."

She could see that Langya intended to send Wei Yanwan to the emperor, and everyone present could see it.

But he still felt the jealousy he deserved.

Langya glared at her and said, "You're the only one who talks too much."

Jin Yuyan leaned towards Gao Xiyue and said, "Well, now that the Queen has a new love, how can she remember us? Come quickly, Noble Concubine, and stand with us."

Hongli frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong, and looked down.

That’s right, he was wearing a dragon robe, and these were his concubines in his harem. They must have made a mistake in the objects of their jealousy.

He was just thinking about the Queen's intentions. After being married for many years, he also understood the Queen's character and did not suspect that she had other ideas.

After all, there are few people in the palace who have a bad relationship with the queen in these years.

What can happen if a group of simple-minded concubines get together?

Hongli's inherent arrogance and pride made him lose the opportunity to learn the truth early.

If he had investigated carefully, he would have found out where the good things provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs came from in recent years.

"Okay, didn't you say we've prepared something new? Let's go take a look."

Hongli interrupted their conversation, his gaze lingering for a moment behind Wei Yanwan's red ears, then he pointed at Jin Yuyan and the others who were gathered together.

"You all speak without restraint in front of the Queen. The Queen is just too indulgent towards you."

Jin Yuyan was not afraid of him either. She raised her chin proudly, not feeling ashamed but proud.

Several people followed closely and walked towards the back.

Wei Yanwan followed Langya, her fingers hanging by her side trembling slightly. She didn't dare to touch the smooth fabric on her body. She felt excited and envious.

She was also a little afraid that her background would be looked down upon by other concubines, but looking at Concubine Mei's expression, they didn't seem to care about it.

Only Ruyi was embraced by惢心, and her cold gaze moved over Wei Yanwan like a sharp blade.

Purple! Peony-like peony!

Why should she, a palace maid who was temporarily brought here, have such an honor?

As the queen of Yanxi Palace, she is not worthy of wearing peony patterns. Does a lowly palace maid deserve to wear a fully embroidered purple dress?

In Ruyi's mind, this was Langya's naked humiliation of her.

It made her angrier than walking around in her undergarments.

Passing through the curved corridor, a beautiful glazed pavilion appeared before everyone's eyes.

Glass products have become popular among the powerful and wealthy, and it is not difficult to make such things.

The whole body is transparent without a trace of bubbles. The structure inside is complex yet beautiful. To prevent slipping, there are various patterns on the ground.

When the bead curtain on the top was lowered, this place became a completely enclosed space. What shocked everyone even more was that this pavilion was movable.

Jingxi said she wanted a room where she could lie down and enjoy the moon and snow without any restraint.

At this time, she was standing beside Hongli, happily introducing her New Year's gift.

"Father, please put a soft couch here in the future. When it snows heavily in winter, my daughter can live here with her sisters."

"Look, the raindrops falling on the roof are beautiful, aren't they?"

Hongli walked around with his daughter with great interest, and once again lamented the queen's doting on the child.

She doesn't even care this much about her husband.

Although he would occasionally feel a little dissatisfied, Hongli knew that this was how the queen should be. If both the former and the harem were satisfied with her, he would have less worries.

Touching his daughter's small bun, Hongli deliberately teased her.

"It's a New Year's gift, why did you send it only in spring? Has your Empress Dowager forgotten you?"

"Your Majesty, why is he still trying to sow discord between us mother and daughter? This thing is newly researched, it can't be available tomorrow just because we say it today."

Langya glared at Hongli in anger, turned her head to talk to Gao Xiyue, and no longer looked at them.

"Yes, my daughter knows everything."

"Father, I heard that people would host a banquet for relatives and friends after moving into a new house, so I asked the Empress to invite all the elders to come over for a small gathering."

Upon hearing the reason, everyone who was called was very happy, as this represented the approval of the Queen Mother and the eldest princess.

"That's right, the Emperor will send this gift to you later."

The sound of woodcutters clinking and birds chirping.

……

God listens to it, and in the end there is peace and harmony.

Hongli did not stay here for long. After watching the opening, he went back to handle official business.

As soon as he left, the concubines had free time.

Jin Yuyan has been carefully trained by the Yu family for many years and can perform all kinds of dances with ease.
