Chen Xun rushed over, and when he saw Jiang Ruyin's face, he felt much more relieved.

Ignoring the gestures of the two, after a moment, Chen Xun bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you've been weak since your last miscarriage, and you haven't eaten or drunk anything all morning, so the cold has taken its toll on your system. If you hadn't drunk this ginger soup right away, you would have passed out from thirst. Furthermore, your previous depression hasn't improved, so you should continue to take the medicine. It's best to relax. You've recovered after taking the ginger soup, so it's best to rest before eating to avoid overindulgence and stomach damage."

Waving his hand, Su Peisheng was asked to take Chen Xun to the East Warm Pavilion to get medicine. The emperor frowned and asked, "Didn't the Empress Dowager invite you to dinner?"

Jiang Ruyin lowered her eyes. "Palace affairs are complicated. The Empress Dowager is very tired after asking questions. I don't want to disturb her lunch break. I was too lazy to go out again, so I thought of asking the Emperor and then returning to the palace to deal with it."

"Has the Empress Dowager given you any trouble?"

Jiang Ruyin shook her head and forced a smile. "The Empress Dowager prepared some refreshments, but I wanted to learn more and listen more, so that the Empress Dowager would not have to worry about me. So, it was useless."

The emperor seemed to understand what was going on.

It was nothing more than that the empress dowager had been testing me two days ago to see if I was willing to forgive the queen. After I had made my attitude clear, the empress dowager mentioned her own daughter from her natal family, but I refused again, putting state affairs first.

The emperor sighed, and silence returned to the room.

After Chen Xun left, the emperor sent Su Peisheng and Fu Qiu out to prepare lunch, and then he spoke palely:

"I really don't know how to face you. I've caused you so much injustice for nothing."

After hearing this, Jiang Ruyin's eyes instantly turned red, and tears like pearls with broken strings slowly slid down her fair cheeks, dripping onto her clothes, leaving wet marks.

She cried and sobbed, "As long as Shilang still has me in his heart, I won't feel wronged." Her voice was trembling like the strings of a guitar shaking in the cold wind.

The emperor was heartbroken and held Jiang Ruyin's hand tightly, as if she would fly away if he let go.

Feeling the vigorous beating in my chest,

"I really don't know what to say... From now on, I will never call you alone again."

Jiang Ruyin couldn't stop crying, she buried her head in the emperor's arms and cried silently.

After a while, Jiang Ruyin pushed the emperor away, took out a silk handkerchief, touched the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "Hongxuan, that kid, must have cried if he couldn't see me at lunch. I came here to ask the emperor."

"The Empress Dowager feels that with only one prince and one princess born in the past two years, the Emperor is still childless. She hopes that the Emperor will select a few more noble ladies during this year's election. Also, the little princess will be one year old in three months. When will the Emperor give her a name and a high ranking? Will the princess still be raised by Lou Changzai?"

Jiang Ruyin asked this long question in a rather anxious manner, as if she was very concerned about Hongxuan.

The emperor looked at her helplessly, "I want to get along well with you, but you are preoccupied with either Hongxuan or palace affairs. Can you let me think about it?"

Jiang Ruyin blinked, stood up and said, "Your Highness, I am always waiting for you. It all depends on whether you come or not. I will take my leave."

With Jiang Ruyin's departure, the warmth in the emperor's arms also dissipated. The emperor sighed softly, and the familiar fragrance seemed to still linger at his nose.

Jiang Ruyin didn't have so many ideas. As the saying goes, "slow accumulation leads to rapid development", the next step is to test the results.

Entering the sedan, Jiang Ruyin hurriedly told Fu Qiu, "Walk faster, I almost fell asleep just now."

Last night, I was reading a storybook until three in the morning. Shortly after I fell asleep, Suochun woke me up, saying the Empress Dowager had sent someone to invite me. After a quick wash, I barely had time to drink a sip of water before I spent two hours chatting with the Empress Dowager. It was exhausting.

Fortunately, Yongshou Palace and Yangxin Palace were close enough, so Jiang Ruyin ordered Suo Chun to wake her up before dinner. She fell headfirst onto the soft bed and fell asleep.

Before dinner time, the emperor arrived at Yongshou Palace.

Suochun wanted to sneak in and call Jiang Ruyin, but the emperor followed her.

"Is your queen still taking a nap?"

Suo Chun respectfully stepped aside and said, "Your Majesty didn't get enough rest last night, so it's inevitable that you slept a little longer."

The emperor nodded and dismissed the palace maids.

Jiang Ruyin only had time to frown when she heard the noise before she was pressed down tightly by a figure like a whole slab of pork.

"Well......"

......

(Two thousand words omitted here)

......

After eating and drinking to their heart's content, the emperor contentedly embraced the woman in his arms and pulled the quilt over her bare shoulders.

Jiang Ruyin felt as if her whole body was hollowed out, as if she had been rolled back and forth several times in a rusty water tank filled with water in the palace, and her stomach was starving.

Suochun, who was guarding the front hall, could not hear any movement in the back hall and looked back from time to time.

Fu Qiu patted Suo Chun on the back and said, "It's windy. Go drink a bowl of hot soup to warm yourself up. I'll be fine here."

"Eunuch Su, you have worked hard in serving the Emperor. The kitchen has prepared some pigeon soup. Please go and have some."

Su Peisheng stood there with his body stiff, of course he was unwilling.

Fu Qiu called Jing'er again, "It's already 2:45 pm. If we heat up the dinner again, it will lose its flavor. Please prepare some more."

Jing'er agreed.

In the back hall,

The emperor had a satisfied smile on his face.

"'Xi Shi holds her heart, her brows slightly furrowed, her frail body unable to conceal her alluring charm.' I understand the feelings of Fu Chai and Gou Jian."

Her heart was heaving, and Jiang Ruyin panted softly, "Fuchai was led astray by beauty, Your Majesty must not follow his example."

How could it not be considered as sleeping on straw and tasting gall if he confined Jiang Ruyin and ignored Zhen Huan because of the Nian family's influence, and then favored Song Zhi to let the Nian family down? The emperor thought to himself.

"Yin'er is the most considerate and sensible, and will not make any mistakes." The emperor's hoarse voice came from above his head, and he kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his lips.

Her butterfly-like eyelashes trembled, and Jiang Ruyin scolded, "Your Majesty always bullies me."

The emperor became even more interested. He stepped into the beauty's neck, took a deep breath, and chanted: "The sick face is just like the gathering of spring sorrow, the light eyebrows are filled with loneliness."

He pressed forward again, and Jiang Ruyin hastily declined, saying in a sad voice,

"I really can't stand it anymore... Your Majesty, please get up and have some tea."

It was not until she caught a glimpse of the emperor's smiling face that Jiang Ruyin realized that the man in front of her was deliberately teasing her.

Jiang Ruyin breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm going to starve to death."

The emperor called Fu Qiu and ordered, "Give your queen a bowl of goji berry and ginseng chicken soup for dinner."

Fu Qiu blinked, glanced at Jiang Ruyin's flushed face, and said yes.

The melancholy of reconciliation was completely shattered, and the emperor was in a very good mood, holding his chin and watching Jiang Ruyin wolfing down the food.

How messy can a person who has always spoken and done things slowly since childhood be even if he eats very fast?

The emperor happily served Jiang Ruyin a bowl of chicken soup and scooped a spoonful of ginseng slices and a lot of wolfberries to pour over the golden and delicious chicken.
