After returning to the Yanx Palace, Ruyi continued to copy Buddhist scriptures as usual. She also went to Yuhua Pavilion to pray for the children of these people.

The temperature is gradually warming up, and惢心 and her friends are preparing various fabric supplies for spring.

"Sister Aruo, the things sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are becoming more and more perfunctory. Now even the material for the master's spring clothes is like this. What should we do?"

惢心 frowned slightly, and helplessly showed the moldy clothes in her hand to A Ruo.

It was common for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to flatter the powerful and put down the weak. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Xian was punished because of several young masters. She had offended all the concubines with children at once.

Eunuch Qin and his men were not at all ambiguous when they took action.

A Ruo rolled her eyes and was extremely fed up with this kind of life, but she still raised her voice and spoke deliberately.

"The master and the emperor have a deep affection for each other. If the master can restore his favor, these people will come to him eagerly."

Arruo really didn't understand why Ruyi was being so pretentious. She clearly had such a good trump card, and her relationship with the emperor was her biggest bargaining chip.

She went to the emperor in private to act coquettishly and cry, saying that she was sad because she had not had a child for many years, and that she spoke without thinking and had no bad intentions.

In this way, the emperor might even feel sorry for her.

If you are lucky, you might even be able to get the child of a noble lady in the side palace.

But she just didn't want to.

"A Ruo, there's no need to say any more. I won't do these things. It's disrespectful."

A Ruo became angry when she thought of the way Ruyi looked at her at that time. She was clearly trying to get her favor back as soon as possible, but why did she act as if she was such a vicious person?

In the past, she thought her master was noble and disdained to use these means to win favor. Now, looking back, she just thinks it is hypocritical and artificial.

Not only do they not live up to their expectations, but they also drag these slaves and servants into suffering together.

"That's what I said, but now it's difficult for our master to even see the emperor, ah!"

惢心 still had a sad look on her face, and her loyal look made A Ruo feel sad.

After being beaten last time, she seemed to have a new understanding of herself and everyone in the Yanxi Palace.

Since she started serving Ruyi, she had been punished for her rude words many times. Ruyi was the one who benefited every time, but she seemed to have never seriously disciplined her.

Every time he would lift her up high and put her down gently, and from time to time he would give her some rewards just because she was wronged.

These rewards made her believe that what she was doing was right, and she became bolder each time.

Breaking out of that vicious circle, A Ruo found herself like a dog raised by Ruyi, a dog that could vent its malice at will.

From this perspective, it seems that惢心 is not normal. She suffered so much in the past, and yet she was fooled like this?

It wasn't like this at the beginning.

Forget it, the real thing is to find a way to get Ruyi back in favor. She is her maid who came with her as a dowry, and she cannot leave the Yanx Palace without a legitimate reason. Even if she leaves, she will not be welcomed.

Unless...she can become the master.

Ruyi didn't know about A Ruo's little thoughts. She just thought that after being punished, A Ruo had learned her lesson and become calmer.

The warm sunlight shone through the window onto the scriptures, and every word dipped in gold ink was glowing.

It also constantly stimulates Ruyi's inner desires.

The emperor is of noble status, and his children need a suitable mother. Hailan comes from a humble family and is timid, so she will definitely not be a good mother.

if……

In the Imperial Household Department, the eunuch who was preparing the allowance for Concubine Xian hurried in.

"Chief Steward Qin, wouldn't it be a bit too obvious for us to do this? Concubine Xian and the Emperor have a special bond. What if she turns against him one day?"

Qin Li snorted disdainfully, slowly took a sip of the tea in his hand, and threw the prepared purse to the young eunuch in front of him.

"So what if they have a special bond? How could she possibly surpass the master? The Empress is merciful. Concubine Xian has spoken ill of the young masters. As servants, we must vent our master's anger."

After saying this, he looked at the person in front of him with a bad look, "Don't forget, who is the one who brought the Ministry of Internal Affairs such a good life now?"

A layer of cold sweat immediately broke out on the forehead of the eunuch who was speaking. He knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, admitting his mistakes repeatedly.

"Master, please don't be angry. I know who is the master. If it weren't for the Empress, the Imperial Household Department would still be relying on the little money we have to embezzle to survive. How could we have such a comfortable life?"

"I know everything. I just said this out of fear of causing trouble for my master. I have absolutely no ulterior motives."

Seeing that he was being sincere, Qin Li's expression relaxed.

"Go down. Even if the emperor gets angry, I have a way to prevent him from getting into trouble."

After the other party left, Qin Li spat fiercely in the direction of the Yanx Palace.

She looks down on these servants and is reluctant to give them even a reward. She is stingy all day long, and yet she is still a lady of a noble family.

People like them who have no descendants work hard to make money just to have a good ending when they are old.

Now the Queen Mother has given them the opportunity to make money. They don’t have to deduct money from the palace expenses or resell tributes. They can make money without any risk.

The master also adopted a large number of orphans without parents, and now he is also a man with descendants.

Thinking of his son's healthy appearance, Qin Li felt relaxed and his bent back straightened a little.

He has to work hard for his master so that when Hu Zi grows up, he can have a good future.

Only days like this can give us hope.

After惢心's repeated pleas, Li Yu finally found the right opportunity.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xian asked Rong Xin to bring this scripture to you. Would you like to take a look?"

Li Yu held the scripture in his hand and asked questions, but he had actually handed it to Hongli.

It seems to be saying that you have to watch it whether you want to or not.

An embroidered handkerchief was sandwiched in the middle, making the scripture bulge out and look extremely obvious.

It is impossible for such smuggled goods to be presented to the emperor.

If there was a dagger stuffed inside, the emperor would be killed on the spot.

But Hongli didn't feel anything was wrong. He sighed, opened the scripture, took out the handkerchief inside and examined it carefully.

"Green cherries and red lychees" represent the past between him and Ruyi.

Thinking of the past, Hongli felt quite complicated, and his feelings for Ruyi seemed to break through the seal and burst out.

"Where is Concubine Xian now?"

Li Yu was immediately delighted when he saw the emperor's relenting heart. He pretended to check the time and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xian should be praying in Yuhua Pavilion at this time."

"How long has Concubine Xian been gone? Has she ever had any complaints?"

"It's been nearly two months now. According to the palace servants at Yuhua Pavilion, Concubine Xian has sincerely repented and kneels for two full hours every day, without a single slackness or complaint."

Hongli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's go and take a look at Yuhua Pavilion."

"Yes!"

Seeing that his mission was completed, Li Yu happily went out to prepare, completely ignoring the looks of the other young eunuchs in the hall.
