Chapter 107 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 7

Hongli had never expected that less than three days after getting married, he would witness the fight between his wife and concubines. He didn't know what to say about this.

Qingying was now smart and asked Hongli to call the court doctor to check. Hongli was about to do as Qingmei said. Langya, who was already feeling guilty, stood there in a daze, unable to think of any reason or excuse. In the end, it was the dowry nanny who knelt down and said that she did everything, which made Hongli finally remember that Langya was his legitimate wife.

"Fujin is the legitimate wife granted by the Emperor's imperial decree. She is a virtuous woman and would never do such a thing to harm others. This was all done by me on my own initiative. Fujin was completely unaware of it. If the prince wants to punish me, then I will do it."

"If this matter gets out, the wife's reputation will certainly be bad, but the prince's reputation will also be affected. Moreover, if the emperor and his wife in the palace really know about this matter, they may think that the prince is not strict in managing the family and doubt his ability."

As soon as the nanny said this, Hongli's mind, which had been confused by Qingying, suddenly became clear again. The most important thing now was not the struggle between his wives and concubines, but the throne.

The nanny's conviction gave Hongli a way out. Langya only admitted to the charge of lax management and drove the nanny back to the Fucha family with tears in her eyes. Qingying, who was extremely dissatisfied with Hongli's behavior, silently swallowed her grievances for the sake of her own young man's future.

Xiyue, who was watching the show, had long known that exposing the matter of Linglingxiang would not have much impact on Langya, either now or in the future. However, if it was exposed sooner, Hongli would develop a grudge against her sooner and no longer trust her. Who knows, in the future, whenever any special circumstances occurred among other women in the palace, Langya would be the first person to be suspected.

Xiyue, this is enough for her. In her previous life, trader No. 4 always trusted Langya. Isn’t it because Langya always behaved in a way that was very consistent with the status of a legitimate wife?

Some face must be torn off at the first time, and don't give her the opportunity to thicken it further. In this way, I don't have to wear a contraceptive bracelet to pray for a child like in the plot, and be hypocritically comforted by the instigator, but actually ridiculed behind my back.

As for Qingying, she is just being allowed to take advantage of him temporarily. Xiyue will never forget her.

The matter of paying respects was finally suppressed by Hongli, and Langya was forced to take back the two bracelets and gave something of higher value as a gift. Xiyue respectfully accepted the gift which contained an apology, but after taking the gift, she immediately handed it to Xingxuan behind her as if she didn't want to touch anything.

Xiyue's behavior really slapped Langya in the face. It was clear that she didn't trust her things. Langya was angry but couldn't show it, so she could only endure it.

Hongli didn't dare to say anything about Xiyue's behavior and just pretended not to see it. After all, Xiyue was so beautiful. Hongli couldn't help but be moved when he saw Xiyue. If Qingying was not still there, Hongli's reason told him that his beloved person should be Qingying. Hongli wanted to stare at Xiyue all the time.

Seeing Hongli's "first wife" by her side, Xiyue could only peek at Xiyue's wretched look from time to time. She wanted to spit at him fiercely, "Bah, coward!"

I really don't understand what kind of relationship Hongli and Qingying had when they were young. They were brothers at first, then became childhood sweethearts, and then they got along like mother and son. Xiyue recalled those magical plot clips and complained, and suddenly she couldn't stay there anymore.

After Xiyue said goodbye, Qingying also wanted to say goodbye. Before leaving, she looked at Hongli with a tearful look in her eyes, as if she was reluctant to leave as if they were parting forever. In the end, it was only after Hongli clearly told her that he would go to her room at night that she left reluctantly.

After the concubines left, Hongli looked at Langya. He sat upright and lectured her, "Fujin, you are my legitimate wife. Both Gao and Qingying are just concubines."

"I hope you will stop doing things that are not in line with your status as a legitimate wife. I hope you can live up to your status as a legitimate wife and help me manage the palace."

"I promise you here that as long as you do what a legitimate wife should do, I will give you the respect and dignity that a legitimate wife should have. I will never favor a concubine over a wife."

Langya lowered her head and listened to Hongli's words in silence, feeling bitter and embarrassed. She didn't want only the respect of her husband, she wanted his love. However, Langya knew that Hongli gave all his love to Qingying and would never give it to her.

At this moment, Hongli's words were not a promise to himself, but more like a warning to himself in order to protect the woman he loved. Langya listened to Hongli's words and couldn't help but imagine, if Qingying was the legitimate wife, would Hongli still treat her like this?

Hongli saw that he had been talking for a long time but Langya remained silent and did not respond. He looked at Langya with some impatience, but saw that the person being talked about had tears all over her face and he didn't know how long she had been crying.

Seeing Langya crying so sadly, Hongli thought of Fucha behind Langya, took a deep breath, stood up and walked to Langya, hugged Langya tenderly: "Fujin's name is Fucha Langya, I will call you Langya."

"Langya, I am not heartless to you. You should know that you, the legitimate wife, are my wife. So you must not be like a concubine who only cares about the small piece of land in the backyard. You must be generous and virtuous, and be a good wife to me."

"It's not the place for a wife to compete for favor with a concubine. Langya, I believe you can be a good wife to me, right?"

It must be said that Hongli's face when he was young was quite fooling little girls. Langya was fooled by Hongli's tender actions and words that distinguished their identities. She stopped crying and smiled, and nodded vigorously in accordance with Hongli's words: "My lord, Langya knows that I was wrong. In the future, Langya will do what a legitimate wife should do, manage the palace well, and be a qualified wife of Prince Bao."

At night, Langya was still immersed in Hongli's warmth, waiting for Hongli to come over for dinner and complete the unfinished wedding ceremony, when she heard Su Lian come over with a gloomy face and report: "Fujin, the prince has gone to Qinggege's courtyard."

"Didn't the prince say he was going to the main courtyard? Why did he go to Qing Gege's place?"

Langya didn't want to believe it. They had hugged each other in the morning, and the prince had specifically promised to come over for dinner before leaving. How could he suddenly go to Qing Gege's place?

Su Lian's face became even uglier when she was asked. She said angrily, "It was Qing Gege's maid A Ruo. She was waiting on the way for the prince to come. She said Qing Gege was not feeling well and asked the prince to go and see her."

"You're not feeling well. Weren't you fine when you paid your respects this morning?" Langya was so angry at Qingying's behavior of stealing her favor that she lost her appetite and wished she could rush to Qingying's courtyard to snatch the prince back.

Unfortunately, Langya was too proud and ended up doing nothing.

After Ah Ruo brought Hongli over, Qingying expressed surprise and blamed Ah Ruo for "acting on her own initiative". Hongli looked at Qingying affectionately and said that regardless of Ah Ruo's business, he also wanted to see Qingying. Qingying immediately turned away shyly, expressing embarrassment. Hongli waved his hand to let the waiter go, and he went forward to hug Qingying, teasing her while half hugging her and came to the bed.
