TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

"Ruyi's" behavior also won Shushen's favor, as she originally had no feelings for him.

This incident actually made her feel some admiration.

As Empress Xian and with the same declining family, she did not have such courage.

It seems that without love, life will not change much.

But she still had her own things to do and didn't have the confidence to be so free and easy.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and pregnant women can't stand such scorching heat.

"It's still cool here, Queen. I have no appetite in such a hot weather. Only these little monkeys are not affected and are jumping around all day long."

Gao Xiyue drooped her lips and looked at the bowl of ice in her daughter's hand sadly. It was such a hot day, and she also wanted to eat it.

Mo Xin, who was following her, sighed helplessly.

The master has had a poor appetite recently and hasn't eaten properly, but they can't touch those ice drinks, which makes them very anxious.

Jingluo is different from her mother. She has always been fond of food since she was a child.

Jingluo caught a glimpse of her mother's eager eyes out of the corner of her eye. She frowned and looked down at the chilled fruit in the bowl, then thought of Aunt Xingxuan's instructions.

The speed of eating has slowed down.

After a moment, she pursed her lips, casually walked to Gao Xiyue, and stretched out her hands in the other's puzzled eyes.

Gao Xiyue's face was still confused when it was held in her hands, until she felt a cool and soft touch on her lips, which separated immediately.

Her eyes suddenly widened and she subconsciously bit her lip lightly, which was quite sweet.

The daughter's soft voice came, "Mother, is it sweet? Try a little first, it will be sweet later!"

Gao Xiyue's heart softened as she watched her daughter carefully reach out and touch her belly.

Suddenly I didn’t feel hot anymore.

She suddenly thought that this conversation sounded familiar, so she bent down, hugged her daughter in her arms, and smiled and showed off to the people around her.

"This child is really smart. When she was little, before she even had teeth, she always stared at my tonic soup. At that time, I would dip a little with a spoon and put it on my lips to let her taste it."

"She didn't remember anything at the time, so she had to learn this trick."

Su Lujun, who was sitting next to them, was so envious that her eyes turned green with envy. It was so sweet to have a daughter.

"Yes, yes... This is not the time for you to chase our Jingluo around the yard."

The sourness in these words made Gao Xiyue even more complacent, because she knew that Yong Zhang was clamoring for a younger brother every day.

In the mind of young Yong Zhang, as long as he had a younger brother and second sister, he would have new sparring partners. He needed brothers to share the responsibilities he had.

"I'm happy to chase after him. Our Jingluo is very well behaved. Looking at my sister's belly, I'm afraid it's still a prince. I just don't know if the bamboo sticks in Zhongcui Palace are enough."

"The whip Jingluo replaced last year is very useful. If my sister needs it, our Jingluo is happy to contribute it, right?"

Jingluo twisted her body and felt a little hot, but she didn't want to come out of her mother's arms.

Hearing their conversation, he immediately patted his chest proudly and said, "Don't worry, Madam Chun, I have many whips, you can choose whatever you want!"

The corners of Su Lujun's mouth twitched a few times, and she was choked for a moment.

Yong Zhang just walked in with his brother and heard his sister's promise. He shuddered unconsciously and covered his lower back with his hands.

He seems to be pretty good lately.

Jingxi was busy studying the chess pieces on the board, and without even looking up, she asked, "We still need to keep a few. If Empress Hui gives birth to a little brother for us, we'll need some to use."

"Hahaha~ Jingxi is right, sister should keep it for herself."

Yonglian and the other man bowed and ran to their respective mothers.

Langya pulled her son over and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "It's so hot, why are you walking so fast? How did you find time to come here today?"

Yonglian took small sips of the iced mung bean soup, and all the heat in his body was swept away from inside to outside.

"The teacher who was giving the lecture today fainted during class. Coincidentally, the Emperor came over and inspected our work before granting us half a day off."

Yong Zhang, who was standing by, coughed twice when he heard this and looked at his brother expectantly.

Yonglian immediately reacted after receiving the hint and raised his voice, saying, "Second brother has been working very hard lately and hasn't fallen behind in his studies. When the Emperor heard about this, he was very happy and not only praised him but also rewarded him with a piece of writing!"

Langya was very considerate and took the lead in applauding.

"Yong Zhang is truly amazing. He must have worked very hard in private. Since the Emperor has rewarded you with writing, how about the Empress Dowager give you the Songhua River stone inkstone you mentioned last time?"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your gift. This time, I am grateful for your help, Big Brother. I will definitely work harder in the future."

Yong Zhang pinched his ears and knelt down shyly to express his gratitude. He had never come here for these rewards.

Instead, every time the ladies and brothers and sisters gave him face, which made him feel very accomplished.

In comparison, Hongli's suppression seemed insignificant and had no effect on him at all.

Gao Xiyue teased him with a smile, "Yongzhang, you've misunderstood. If you work twice as hard, won't we empty our warehouse?"

"We need to combine work and rest, so that your mother and we can have time to prepare!"

"We can't move it out. Our daughter's house is still there!"

Gao Xiyue gritted her teeth and patted Jingluo on the head lightly with her fan. "You are so protective of your food at such a young age. That's all because of your mother."

"Humph!"

Jingluo pouted in dissatisfaction and jumped down unhappily to watch her sister and the Empress Dowager play chess.

Su Lujun patted her son's palm, which was already covered with calluses, with pride. "Your Madam Hui is right. Even if you work hard, you must be careful not to hurt yourself."

Yong Zhang nodded obediently and memorized them all.

Chen Wanyin listened quietly to the commotion in the room, her smile never falling. Even if she didn't say a word in Changchun Palace, she felt relaxed all over.

Her hands did not stop moving, gently turning the handle of the fan. Jingyu sat opposite her and fiddled with the silk cocoons in the bowl in a very serious manner.

"Mother, my sister and I spent a long time searching for these honey-colored cocoons. What do you think of pairing them with pearls?"

"A faint purple, a warm yellow, and a bunch of chrysanthemums embroidered on it, along with some lavender or light blue gemstones, wouldn't be bad either. You can try them all later."

"Okay, then mother, please help me take a look later."

Chen Wanyin has accumulated a lot of wealth through her poetry and painting, and is now considered one of the richest women in the Forbidden City.

She knew very well that she could have her current life because she knelt down early when she entered the palace. Many times, choices are more important than hard work.

Even though those works were good, they were not enough to overwhelm everyone else. If it weren't for the powerful people under the Queen, she wouldn't have achieved what she has today.

The more mysterious and rare it is, the more sought after it is.

As everyone in the harem was looking forward to it, they finally received the order to go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat.

All the palaces were busy. The masters were pregnant, so they had to be served carefully and everything had to be prepared.

After some trouble, Langya and her friends finally arrived at the Old Summer Palace.

This time their status has also changed. They are no longer squeezed into a small courtyard like before, and even their range of activities is restricted.

Gao Xiyue excitedly shared her plan with Langya, "Thank you, Her Majesty, for assigning me this beautiful courtyard. I've been curious about the scenery of Peach Blossom Creek ever since I came here, and now I can finally enjoy it properly."

"I'll ask Moxin to pick the most beautiful lotus flowers and send them to you later."

"I also want to experience the feeling of taking a boat through the Peach Blossom Cave to reach the paradise."

Chen Wanyin was also quite interested. Wuling Chunse was previously occupied by the favorite concubine of the previous emperor, so it was not their turn to live there.

At that time, there were many masters in the Old Summer Palace, and she never dared to run around.

Even though Gao Xiyue was a concubine, she would not meet them casually. "I heard that there are many peach trees planted on that island. We won't be able to see the peach blossoms, but we can taste the lotus seeds in the lake in a while."

"We'll all come together then, all the sisters!"

"That would be great..."

The long journey could not dampen their excitement, and the children were even more excited, running around like crazy together.

He was followed by a large group of nervous palace servants, which looked very funny.

The innocent and clear laughter of the children, accompanied by the cool breeze, blew away the depression in everyone's hearts.

Langya lay in the waterside pavilion with her eyes closed, while Lianxin placed the cut fruits one by one in the ice jar.

She particularly enjoys her current life.

The system once gave her many choices, the technologically advanced interstellar world or the highly developed modern civilization, but Langya rejected them all.

With the things she has accumulated over the years, her quality of life will not be bad no matter where she is.

At that time, I just thought that the small world of film and television would be more interesting.

For someone who has lived in the world of immortal cultivation for thousands of years, everything here is just right.

I have everything I want, and whatever I want to eat or play will be brought to me. If my young husband comes, I will just sleep with him, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't come.

Every day, a beautiful sister comes to please her, and she has a pair of children at her disposal.

She decadently enjoyed the feeling of time passing by little by little. Apart from the daily perfunctory tasks, there was always a lot of excitement in Changchun Palace.

The once tense nerves were relieved little by little. Langya knew very well that the so-called retirement was just a pie in the sky.

There are always various reasons in the bureau to make a scene, act pitifully and talk about emotions.

She had to take every opportunity to rest.

Unlike their carefree lives in the Old Summer Palace, Ruyi in the cold palace suffered a lot in this scorching summer.

After Hai Lan became pregnant, she didn't dare to come to the cold palace anymore. Before leaving, she only sent Ye Xin to deliver some snacks and fabrics.

Ruyi pouted as she looked at these things. She didn't like the tacky gold and silver, but that didn't mean she would like the things Hailan sent her.

She closed her eyes irritably, enjoying the feeling of惢心 braiding her hair from behind.

I imagined myself still living in a fresh and elegant palace, and still being the Concubine Xian who was deeply favored by the emperor.

They used precious silks and satins and ate delicacies from land and sea.

"Master, it's done."

惢心's voice instantly pulled Ruyi back from her fantasy. She opened her eyes in disappointment, glanced at the coarse cloth clothes on her body, and sighed.

He took the armor from the box and put it on his hand, not forgetting to instruct: "惢心, go to the yard and pick some roses and jasmine flowers and put them on my hair."

"Yes, Master, now that you are in the cold palace, you won't need to wear armor, right?"

Ruyi stretched out her hand to admire the armor on her hand and shook her head slightly.

"Even if you are sent to the cold palace, you must live a decent life."

惢心 frowned slightly, but finally retreated silently, secretly telling God about her grievances and confusion in her heart.

Even if you want to live a decent life, you have to clean up the soil in the cracks. You get up early and fiddle with the trumpet creeper without even cleaning it up carefully.

Not only does惢心 have to take care of the two's food, clothing, housing and transportation, she also has to fetch water for them to wash. There aren't many good soaps in the cold palace, so some residue is inevitable.

What she couldn't understand the most was the armor and the hairpin flowers. There were some naturally grown flowers in the cold palace, but they were not the only ones here.

There was also a large group of deposed concubines who had gone insane, and every time she went to pick flowers, she would be surrounded and beaten by these people.

If you deprive others of the only remaining beauty in their eyes, it would be strange if they didn't take action.

But Ruyi never saw those wounds. She only admired her own beauty by looking at the clear water in the basin.

That day, Ruyi was chatting with the guards outside the palace gate, and惢心 was washing clothes in the hot sun.

"Here's your money. All the embroidery I did before has been sold. Do you want me to bring you some good material and thread next time?"

"That way you can get more money."

Ling Yunche looked through the gap at the bright smile on the woman's face inside the door and was momentarily panicked.

Such a noble and beautiful woman would actually smile at me like this one day.

At this moment, Ling Yunche's heart seemed to be hit by something, and he couldn't help but start to consider the other party.

Ruyi smiled shyly when she heard this, twisting her body unconsciously twice, and said coquettishly, "Thank you for thinking so carefully for me."

"Once I'm out of the cold palace, I'll go to the emperor and plead for mercy. Then I'll find you a better place to be a guard, okay?"

Ling Yunche didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said and was deeply moved.

She is truly worthy of being a lady from a noble family. She is truly noble, gentle, considerate, and has such a delicate mind.

Unlike Yan Wan, who only thinks about using money to buy a good job all day long, and every time we meet, she is either complaining or scheming. It is really...

"Then I'll be waiting for you to leave the cold palace. It's hot, so hurry back."

"Tell me what fabric you want to buy later, and I'll bring it in for you."

Ruyi felt very comfortable being cared for. She walked back slowly along the shade with the silver. Without惢心's support, she was unwilling to give up her love for her lover.

In a place like the cold palace, one naturally walks slower.

When they returned to their residence,惢心 had already finished washing all the clothes. Ruyi was very happy and went forward to show her what they had found.

"Look, our embroidery earned us so much silver this time, it's enough to last us for a while."

"Ling Yunche also said that he could help me buy some good materials. Let me help you hang the clothes!"

As Ruyi spoke, she picked up the clothes with two fingers and threw them up.

Rong Xin hurried forward to stop it. If it was thrown on the ground, she would have to wash it again.
