Chapter 122 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 22
Ruyi was so busy copying the palace rules that she didn't notice that there was anything wrong with A'ruo's mood. She waved her hand and told A'ruo considerately that she didn't need to serve her and could go back and rest.
"A Ruo, you have a wound on your face, so I don't need you to serve me tonight. Go down and rest!"
A Ruo looked at Ruyi, who not only did not ask the imperial physician to prepare ointment to reduce the swelling for her, but instead leisurely wrote poems for others. Even asking her not to serve him seemed like a grace.
"My father is also an official, and I am also a daughter of an official family, but I can only be a maid for such a Ruyi!" Arruo became more and more unwilling. After so many years, she finally understood that Ruyi claimed to be the emperor's true love, but in fact, she was never the most favored. The emperor rarely stayed with her overnight, and the position she gave was not high. It was not at all like the 'childhood sweethearts' she kept saying.
"If I continue to follow a master like this, how can I live a good life?" Ah Ruo recalled the way the emperor had talked to her before. She checked her face in the mirror and felt that she looked much prettier than Concubine Mei. "If a lowly Nanfu pipa player can become the emperor's concubine, why can't I, a young lady from an official family, do the same?"
A rift between master and servant was unfolding in the Yanx Palace, and the Changchun Palace was also busy. Lianxin didn't want to go back to the wing room, so she deliberately delayed time and stayed by Langya's side to keep watch. However, Langya disliked Lianxin and would rather choose a second-class palace maid to keep watch than keep Lianxin.
"Lianxin, things are different now that you're married. From now on, you don't have to keep watch at night. When the time comes, just go back to your room!"
When Lian Xin heard Lang Ya calling her back to the wing room, she was so scared that she could not help but kneel down and beg Lang Ya to save her. Lian Xin pulled back her sleeves, revealing the scars on her arms, "My queen, please save me! That Wang Qin is not a human being at all. Look, these wounds were caused by him."
"I don't want to go back to the wing room. I just want to stay with you, Madam. Please help me, Madam!"
Langya saw the scars on Lianxin's body, and a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, but thinking of the deal between her and Wang Qin, she could only harden her heart and turn her head away, "Lianxin, how can the couple's life be smooth sailing? Wang Qin personally proposed to you, and Wang Qin must be sincere to you."
"I guess Wang Qin is inexperienced and was a little heavy-handed. You should talk to him properly. After a while, he won't be like this anymore."
Lianxin couldn't believe that Langya actually said such words. She opened her mouth and wanted to continue begging, but seeing that Langya pretended to be confused even though she knew the truth, she tried for a long time but still couldn't utter a word. In the end, Lianxin said goodbye to Langya with full disappointment and returned to the veranda room.
The next morning, Ruyi gave the half-copied palace rules and poems to惢心, asking her to help deliver them to Xiyue. On the way,惢心 met the emperor. When the emperor was looking through the palace rules, he found Ruyi's copy of Liu Yuxi's "Lang Tao Sha", and remembered that he had told Ruyi that he longed for the spectacular view of the river tide. Today is August 18th, the day for watching the tide. Seeing that what he said was remembered by Ruyi, the emperor was very moved.
"I've made the decision. You don't need to copy the remaining half of the palace rules. Tell your master to have a good rest. I will go to see her later!" After the emperor said this, he took the palace rules copied by Ruyi and left. Xiyue did not see the palace rules. After learning about the emperor's actions, she was very dissatisfied and went straight to find the emperor.
When Xiyue arrived, the emperor was looking through the palace rules copied by Ruyi. The emperor was a little surprised to see Xiyue: "Xiyue, why are you here?"
Xiyue walked straight in and bowed perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, I am here to ask Your Majesty to take back the power of the palace."
The emperor was surprised and didn't understand why Xiyue suddenly stopped caring about palace affairs. "Why is that?"
"Humph! Why?" Xiyue looked at the emperor sarcastically and said directly: "Concubine Xian made a mistake, and I punished her according to the law. I didn't deliberately target her, nor did I bend the law for personal gain. As a result, the emperor felt sorry for his beloved concubine and directly bypassed me and exempted Concubine Xian from punishment."
"Your Majesty, what you are doing is embarrassing for me. If the concubines in the harem make mistakes in the future, they can be exempted from punishment as long as they learn from Concubine Xian and ask the emperor for help. How can I manage the palace affairs?"
"Since Your Majesty is not satisfied with my management methods, I am not greedy for power. Please take back the power of the palace. I will not be in charge anymore!"
Xiyue's words were blunt and explicit, and she almost pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him for being blinded by lust and not following the rules. If it was any other emperor, Xiyue would not be so blunt, but this is the emperor in Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, a "son-in-law" who is arrogant, cowardly, and afraid of everything.
The emperor had an embarrassed expression, and he indeed realized that his previous actions were wrong, but as an emperor, even if he did something wrong, as a concubine he should not speak of himself like this.
The emperor was dissatisfied. He felt that Xiyue did not respect him enough. He was about to scold Xiyue, but when he looked up and saw Xiyue's fairy-like face, which looked so beautiful even with sarcasm, he immediately lost the desire to scold her.
"Xiyue's personality is just like that. She has not changed in all these years. She may just be dissatisfied with my approach." The emperor thought about a solution. "The palace power still has to be managed by Xiyue. Others are not qualified and cannot manage it as well as Xiyue."
"Ahem, I didn't think too much at the time. I have no dissatisfaction with Xiyue's management methods. Let Xiyue manage the palace power!" The emperor flattered his face and smiled to comfort Xiyue, "Since Concubine Xian hasn't finished copying the palace rules, I ordered her to continue copying. Don't be angry, Xiyue, I will never do this again."
"Ruyi has always been considerate and must be able to understand my difficulties. It's just copying the palace rules, which is not difficult." The emperor weighed Xiyue's personality and Ruyi's personality, and finally decided to go along with Xiyue. After all, Xiyue has always been difficult to please.
In the Yanxi Palace, Ruyi had just finished listening to Suo Xin's report and was happy that the emperor understood her feelings. Turning around, she saw A Ruo teaching a little maid outside the room, and Ruyi asked Suo Xin: "Has A Ruo been spoiled by me?"
Suo Xin thought about the days when she was bullied by A Ruo. She didn't complain, but just replied: "Sister A Ruo is the master's dowry, so it's only natural for the master to pamper her."
"Arruo is already of marriageable age, and her temper is not suitable for staying in the palace. It would be better for her to marry into a good family." Ruyi didn't want Arruo to have anything to do with the palace anymore, so she wanted her mother to keep an eye on Arruo when she entered the palace.
After hearing what Ruyi said, A Ruo knelt down in front of Ruyi and said, "My dear, I don't want to leave the palace. I just want to stay with you." After some pleading, Ruyi agreed to let A Ruo leave the palace after she turned 25. A Ruo was very grateful and knelt down to thank her, but her face changed when she turned around to leave.
As soon as A Ruo left, the emperor's decree came. When Ruyi learned that Xiyue had gone to the emperor and asked the emperor to punish her to continue copying the palace rules, she was very sad.惢心 was a little embarrassed but still felt that Xiyue was a little too serious. When A Ruo outside the door heard the news, she couldn't help but sneer: "Humph, you are really asking for trouble by competing with Concubine Hui!"
It has to be said that Xiyue not only successfully slapped the emperor and Ruyi in the face through this incident, but also let the concubines in the harem see that she is the one who keeps her word. When returning to the palace, Xiyue was in a very happy mood, but a crying little eunuch on the way ruined Xiyue's happy mood.
