(Readers, I promise that Ruyi will be happy for at most two chapters!! It won’t be more exciting than this!!)

Yangxindian

Hongli dreamed of the young Qingying, who was talking to him with a smile on her face on the city wall. In a blink of an eye, Qingying put on her wedding dress and married her third brother.

Hongli woke up with a start and shouted, "Qingying!"

Wang Qin, who was on night watch, rushed in frightened and asked, "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"

Hongli shook his head and said, "Nothing, just thinking about things from my youth."

Hongli found it a little ridiculous. The same thing he had dreamed about when he was young, he actually dreamed about it again now that he was middle-aged.

Wang Qin's alarm bells rang, and he comforted Hongli with a few words. When it was time for his shift change, he returned to his room and passed the message to Jingqin.

Ruyi was not welcomed in the harem. Apart from Yihuan, few concubines were willing to visit her.

In the past two years, Ruyi has been cycling between three choices: "entertaining herself, waiting for the emperor to summon her, and coming to the Yangxin Palace to find the emperor."

Ruyi didn't care about any palace affairs and left them all to Concubine Yi and Concubine Chun.

The concubines all ignored Ruyi, which made Ruyi, who wanted to show off her power after being named a noble concubine, feel very frustrated. No one was willing to come to her palace to pay their respects, and she was as quiet as a chrysanthemum, so it was not easy to force people to come.

Shufangzhai

Ruyi walked in.

Hongli had a dream yesterday of Qingying in her youth. Today, he woke up and summoned Ruyi to accompany him to watch "Wall Horse" in Shufangzhai.

After the song ended, Hongli sighed, "The Empress and the Imperial Concubine have gone to the temporary palace to recuperate, and Concubine Zhe is now seriously ill. Ruyi, I am above all people, looking down upon all.

But even though I am above ten thousand people, I am still alone. I always feel so lonely... Ruyi, come to me. I want to be with you."

Ruyi came forward and sat beside Hongli, comforting him, "Your Majesty, haven't I always been with you?"

Hongli sighed, "Ruyi, I chose you from the beginning to be my legitimate wife. Langya has gone to the temporary palace to recuperate and does not want to return to the capital. I want to grant you the title of Imperial Noble Consort. Although not Empress, you will still be half my wife."

Ruyi was secretly happy, but remained expressionless. She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at Hongli who was full of anticipation.

Ruyi pretended to be indifferent and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I am terrified of the position of Imperial Noble Consort."

Hongli took the bait and pressed the issue eagerly, "Fearful? Why are you so fearful? Is it because of your aunt? Ruyi, you are different from your aunt."

Ruyi said sadly, "What's the difference between my aunt and me? We are both daughters of the Ulanara family, and the men we love are both the emperor."

Hongli promised: "So what about the Ulanara family? I had no control over the situation in the early years. But now it is all in the past. I make the decision on who to choose as my Imperial Noble Consort. Listen, I am the emperor and a husband."

Ruyi was moved and said, "Your Majesty, I have never wanted to be the Queen, but when my aunt passed away, she asked me a question, and I hesitated."

Hongli: "What?"

Ruyi said affectionately, "Aunt asked me if I wanted to share the same bed and grave with Hongli. I do."

Hongli said with affection in his eyes, "Although I cannot grant you the throne of Empress, I promise that the Imperial Consort will share my bed and grave with me. Ruyi, I feel very lonely on this lonely mountain top. I want you to be by my side. Is that okay?"

Ruyi: "Okay."

Hongli: “Okay…Okay…”

The two embraced and wept.

Wang Qin and Jin Xin behind him looked at each other with disgust, what a jerk!

After this day, Ruyi and Hongli were inseparable.

morning

When Hongli mentioned the idea of ​​appointing an imperial concubine, Zhang Tingyu took the lead and shouted, "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

The ministers all knelt down and urged: "Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Hongli didn't understand. He could promote whomever he wanted in his own harem, so why did these ministers stop him? If it weren't for the fact that the imperial concubine needed to be registered, he wouldn't even want to mention it!

Zhang Tingyu, a true supporter of the orthodox doctrine, knelt down and began to argue, "How can you appoint an Imperial Noble Consort when the Empress is still alive?"

Hongli: "The Empress and Yonglian are not in good health. The imperial physician suggested that the Empress stay in another palace to recuperate carefully. The harem cannot be left without a master for a day. The purpose of establishing an Imperial Noble Consort is to stabilize the harem."

None of the ministers believed Hongli's words. It was more impossible than believing that Ruyi could stabilize the harem than to believe that Hongli was the reincarnation of Emperor Kangxi.

Zhang Tingyu argued, "The Imperial Concubine can also manage the six palaces."

What could Hongli say? Did he just want to give his true love a legitimate position? He just didn't want to be forced by the late emperor and the empress dowager to marry Langya. Now that he could make his own decision, what was wrong with making an imperial concubine for his true love?

Just as Hongli was about to be tougher, he was stopped by the Imperial Censor Li.

Lord Li: "Noble Consort Xian is mean and unkind, unfilial and unrighteous. She is not a good choice for the Imperial Consort."

Hongli was speechless. Why was he making personal attacks? Hongli glanced down at the ministers. When the ministers heard what Lord Li said, they all looked in agreement.

Hongli was upset and waved his hand, saying, "Let's discuss this matter later." Then he left angrily.

Yangxindian

Hongli sat on the couch angrily. Li Yu was sent to the Xinzheku by Hongli in anger because he had secretly entered the Yangxin Palace to exchange evidence. Without Li Yu, this bad guy, no one would speak for Ruyi in front of the emperor, and Hongli could only sulk alone.

Hongli: "Wang Qin! Come here!"

Wang Qin sighed deeply, ran to Hongli, and asked, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions?"

Hongli complained to Wang Qin incessantly, and Wang Qin listened attentively and comforted him. When Hongli had complained enough, he went to Jingren Palace to find Ruyi.

Wang Qin could only follow Hongli in misery.

Gyeongin Palace

Li Yu, who served in the imperial court, was sent to the Xinzheku. Ruyi had no manpower in the previous dynasty, and had no idea that there was a huge uproar in the previous dynasty because of the issue of appointing her as the Imperial Noble Consort.

Ruyi was still drinking tea happily and flipping through the book "Wall Horse" in her hand.

Hongli arrived at this time. When he entered the room, he saw Ruyi's peaceful and quiet appearance and relaxed. He sat down next to Ruyi and watched "Wall Horse" together.

As they watched, they reminisced about their youth, and time passed by unknowingly.

A few days passed, and Ruyi spent every day with Hongli. She thought she would receive the decree of promotion soon, but she didn't expect that there would be no news after Hongli mentioned it once.

Ruyi was very puzzled, but Li Yu had been punished by Hongli a long time ago, so she could only guess what Hongli was thinking by herself.

There were many such incidents, so Ruyi sent Sanbao to inquire about Li Yu's news and see what crime he had committed so that she could get him out. She really couldn't stand being without someone in her harem.

Ruyi never offered money for information gathering, and Sanbao wasn't as foolish as惢心 to let Ruyi get it for free. Sanbao shamelessly said, "Master, if anyone wants to gather information in this palace, they have to pay this..."

Ruyi frowned. When did Sanbao become so vulgar? Li Yu never asked for money when he gave her the information!

Ruyi's loyal servant Rong Pei rushed forward and said forcefully, "Do you have to be paid for everything? There's no such thing as that in the world!"

Sanbao took a step back, the meaning was very clear, if you can do it, go ahead.

Ruyi smiled and said, "Rong Pei, I'll leave this matter to you."

Rong Pei had been in Jingren Palace for a year and finally had the opportunity to show her abilities. She walked out with a proud and confident look on her face.

Unfortunately, Rong Pei can only show off her power in Jingren Palace. Although Ruyi is very satisfied with Rong Pei, she seldom goes out, and when she does, she goes to the Yangxin Palace. What's more, Ruyi usually brings Jinxin with her when she goes out. Rong Pei, the senior maid in Jingren Palace, is rarely known to outsiders.

Rong Pei originally wanted to go directly to the Yangxin Palace to inquire about the news, but was stopped by the imperial guards outside the palace. She couldn't even enter the palace door, let alone go to the imperial eunuch to inquire about the news.

Rong Pei had no choice but to ask the imperial guards, but the imperial guards had been strictly disciplined by Mur since they came back from the eastern tour, and would never speak unless it was necessary.

Rong Pei didn't bring any "necessary" with her, so naturally no one paid any attention to her.

Rong Pei left in disgrace and returned to Jingren Palace dejectedly to report to Ruyi: "My Lord, no one in the Imperial Court is willing to speak."

Although Ruyi was complaining about Rong Pei's uselessness in her heart, she smiled and said, "Nothing, it seems to be a big deal."

Ruyi suddenly thought of a good candidate - Ling Yunche.

Ruyi smiled and ordered, "I have to go out for a while, Rong Pei."

Rong Pei understood and went out to call for a sedan chair.

The group went to Kunning Palace in a grand manner.

Kunning Palace

Ling Yunche kicked the stones on the ground out of boredom. Zhao Jiuxiao was chosen by Princess Yongle to join the dowry team more than two years ago. It was said that it was his lover who begged for him.

He wanted to go to Wei Yanwan and plead for mercy, but when he thought of Princess Yongle's murderous look as she slapped him, he suddenly came to his senses. Concubine Xian had said she would give him a good future, but after more than two years, nothing had happened.

He mustered up the courage to ask Concubine Xian to include him in Princess Yongle's dowry, but Concubine Xian's face darkened and she gave him a lecture. He just wanted a good future, so who had he offended? If only... he could rekindle his relationship with Yan Wan, it would be even better.

Ling Yunche was just daydreaming when he heard Ruyi's surprised cry from a distance: "Ling Yunche——"

Ling Yunche kicked the stone away in anger. He kept coming back, coming back every time he felt bored, and then he'd just leave. Why was he pretending to be so surprised? He wasn't going to be promoted! Wasn't it normal for him to be here?

He complained in his heart, but smiled and greeted her: "Is the Imperial Concubine Xian here? Your humble servant pays his respects to Her Majesty."

Ruyi smiled as she watched Ling Yunche perform the formalities, then said, "Ling Yunche, I have something to ask of you."

Ling Yunche was surprised. "Our relationship isn't close enough for me to do you a favor, right? And you don't even pay me!"

Ling Yunche smirked and said, "My Lady, what can I do for you?"

Ruyi: "The eunuch Li Yu has been punished by the Emperor for some crime I don't know. I'd like you to find out about him."

Ling Yunche, who had been feeling like he was facing a formidable enemy, relaxed. It turned out to be just gathering information, a trivial matter. He nodded and said, "Okay."

When Ruyi saw that Ling Yunche agreed to her request at once, she smiled even more brightly and the two chatted about everything under the sun.

The servants behind them were numb as they watched the two of them sitting on the steps and talking.

After the discussion, Ruyi left contentedly. Ling Yunche, who had just suffered a mental attack from Ruyi and was sitting at the palace gate, also came to his senses. "Noble Concubine Xian, you didn't give me the silver!"

Guard Station

Ling Yunche took out the silver he had saved and went to the room where the imperial guards rested. He found a guard and asked, "Sir, I want to ask why the eunuch Li is not here with the emperor?"

The imperial guard Gang An asked suspiciously, "Which guard are you from? Why are you asking about Eunuch Li?"

Ling Yunche: "I am a guard at Kunning Palace and a fellow townsman of Eunuch Li. He promised me that he would find me a good place to live, but I didn't expect that it would take so long and there is no news at all. I can't enter the imperial court, so I can only ask you, sir."

Ling Yunche asked while reluctantly stuffing a bag of silver into Gangan's hand.

Gangan weighed the silver in his hand and said with satisfaction: "You've asked the right person. It was me who took Li Yu away. I advise you to find another way out as soon as possible."

Ling Yunche pressed on, "What's wrong with Eunuch Li? We're from the same hometown, and I want to repay Eunuch Li a little."
