TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

As soon as Hai Lan and the Fifth Prince moved into the Yanx Palace, they summoned the imperial physician that night.

This is the first of the newborn babies to fall ill.

Hongli attached great importance to this child and rushed over immediately.

Ruyi was very surprised to see the emperor whom she had not seen for a long time, and hurried to greet him, "Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you good health."

"Get up, how is the Fifth Prince?"

When Hongli saw Ruyi's thin figure, he felt a surge of pity in his heart. She must have been exhausted these days. The empress dowager is in much better health now.

Ruyi can now focus on raising her children.

"It's all my fault for being so anxious. I wanted to see the Fifth Prince as soon as possible. The doctor said he had caught a cold."

"Get up, you have good intentions. I have heard that you were the one who cleaned up the back hall where Concubine Yu lived, and you even added a lot of things yourself."

"Your Majesty~"

Ruyi looked at her young lover with tears in her eyes, and was very happy that he saw everything she did.

Neither of them cared about the Fifth Prince who was running a fever.

This reconciliation made Ruyi see the benefits of having a child, and she wanted a child of her own even more urgently.

Seeing the emperor so worried about the Fifth Prince, she felt a little sad.

In the back hall of the Yanx Palace, Ruyi was bringing milk cakes to see Hailan, and the two sat together and whispered.

Ruyi looked very guilty. "Hai Lan, don't worry, the Fifth Prince is much better now. You should take your medicine well too. When you feel better, go see him."

"How can you blame me for this? I gave birth to this child for you. I believe you will take good care of him."

Hai Lan didn't care about her son's health. In her eyes, Ruyi's guilt was more important.

Ruyi was moved and held Hailan's hand. "Hailan, you are the only one in this palace who trusts me like this."

"There's something I want to discuss with you."

"Just tell me, sister."

"The Fifth Prince's previous wet nurse was assigned by the Imperial Household Department, and she wasn't very dedicated in her service. I'm looking for a reason to replace her. Do you have any ideas or a preferred candidate?"

Hailan shook her head without hesitation, "Sister can make the decision on these small matters."

Ruyi lowered her head, staring straight up at Hailan with a satisfied smile on her lips.

Ye Xin, who was standing by, was frightened by her appearance.

She couldn't see any sisterly love in this look, and Concubine Xian looked at their master in a strange way.

It's like watching a puppet, a puppet whose performance makes you very satisfied.

This discovery made Ye Xin shudder.

But she knew very well how much her master trusted Concubine Xian, and even gave the prince, whom the concubines in the harem regarded as their life, to her for raising.

She has tried to persuade him over the years, but to no avail.

Now I can only take care of the Fifth Prince more, because that is the Empress's hope for the rest of her life.

"惢心, why are you always so sad? This is not good. I have adopted the Fifth Prince, and maybe I will have my own little prince soon."

"What? Did you have a fight with Li Yu? Or Jiang Yebin? It's rare to meet someone from the same hometown in this palace. We should support each other."

"Our lives are getting better and better, so we should be happy."

Ruyi still has some feelings for惢心, who accompanied her out of the cold palace. Now, only Sanbao and惢心 are by her side.

Rong Xin forced a smile. During the days when her master sent her medicine in large quantities, she often went to the Imperial Hospital and had more contact with Jiang Yebin.

But we are just acquaintances, and I don’t have any other thoughts.

As for Li Yu, he has helped me so much, but I don’t know how to thank him.

"Master, what are you thinking? I am just worried. We don't have much silver to begin with, and you gave away a lot of the gifts from the emperor while tidying up the back hall."

"After we came out of the cold palace, the mansion sent another letter..."

When Ruyi heard about her mother's family, she felt sad. She was sent to the cold palace thanks to these relatives.

But no matter what, they are the family that has loved me since I was a child.

"Everything that comes and goes in our palace is closely monitored by the Imperial Household Department. The old lady didn't dare to write a letter, so she could only send a message saying that the emperor had irrefutable evidence and would not allow them to argue at all. There was nothing she could do."

Looking at the withered lotus leaves in the courtyard, Ruyi sighed deeply.

"Forget it. The things from Hailan must be given to me. As for the rest, I will think about it later."

This day, Tian Yihuan came to the Yanx Palace to see the fifth prince.

The two of them smiled happily as they looked at the baby in the cradle.

"Fifth Prince is so cute, look at his little face."

Yihuan stared at him with joy in her eyes and was reluctant to look away. Her relationship with other people in the harem was just average.

When she first entered the palace, she and Chen Wanyin got along well, as they both liked quietness.

Yihuan is well-read and naturally no stranger to painting. There is also an equally intelligent third princess, Jingyu, in Chuxiu Palace.

They hit it off very well during their first conversation.

However, after paying respects at Changchun Palace, Chen Wanyin took the initiative to distance herself from Yihuan because she was disrespectful to Langya.

No matter how much Yihuan tried to remedy the situation, it was of no use. She had only seen the Eighth Prince, born to Concubine Wan, a few times.

Not to mention other concubines, the only one she could get close to was the Fifth Prince who was kept in the Yanx Palace.

Ruyi was also very pleased. No matter who gave birth to the child, he was now raised under her name.

"This child is very well-behaved and never makes trouble."

He Xi and Suo Xin looked at each other, and both of them were frightened when they saw the sharp armor moving on the baby's tender skin.

What if I get hurt?

"What about you? You've been in the palace for so long. Do you have any news now?"

When Yihuan saw that Ruyi also asked about this, she couldn't help but take back her hand from the swaddling clothes, frowned and looked at her belly helplessly.

"I don't know why. I've been taking pregnancy medication, but there's still no news. Maybe I'm just too weak."

Yihuan came from Cining Palace today.

The Empress Dowager desperately wanted a prince, so the status of mothers with offspring was promoted. Although Huang Qiying, who had the lowest status, was still a concubine, she also received a share of the title of consort.

She only had two noble ladies and one maid under her, and her only child was a princess.

Among them, Yihuan was the one who had the greatest hope of occupying the emperor's mind, so she naturally urged him even harder.

Yihuan was so upset that she had to come to Ruyi to see the Fifth Prince.

"It doesn't matter. There will always be a chance in the future. As long as the affection between you and the Emperor remains, these are not a problem."

When Ruyi heard that Yihuan had the same troubles as her, she immediately regarded her as a close friend.

Yihuan was also deeply touched when she heard Ruyi's words. She frowned slightly and looked at the plum blossoms on the table. They were still just buds now.

When he spoke, he was filled with deep affection.

"Sister, you're right. After entering the palace and spending time with the Emperor, I finally understood that I had been so well-versed in poetry and literature just to get to the person I admired."
