Chapter 120 Rescue
Deep down, she always believed that she and the emperor were husband and wife. This perception was greater than the difference between the emperor and his subjects. In front of the emperor, she was more like an ordinary wife, and naturally felt that she did not need to be as attentive to the emperor as ordinary concubines.
In this way, day after day, year after year, she could only watch the emperor drift away from her.
This is also the reason why the emperor gradually drifted away from her.
In the emperor's heart, he was the emperor first, and Hongli second. What he needed more than a wife was a virtuous queen who would put him first in everything and always consider the country.
If Hongli, who was still the Fourth Prince, were to choose, he would give up his wife and choose Qingying, but if the emperor, who had become the ruler of a country, were to choose, he would give up Ruyi and choose the queen without hesitation.
This is completely contrary to what Ruyi wants, which is why she always feels grateful for her youth, because during those days, Hongli would run towards her without hesitation.
......
After half a month, Yanwan's illness got better as she wished. She fulfilled her promise and immediately went to Yonghe Palace for a small gathering.
As soon as she went out, she met a little palace maid crying and holding a thick stack of rice paper, walking in the same direction as her.
"Which palace are you from? Why are you crying so hard?" Yan Wan looked at the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground to salute, and looked at Chun Chan who was standing beside her in confusion.
"This is Empress Ling Fei of Yongshou Palace. When the Empress asks you a question, you must answer it properly." Chunchan said in a loud voice.
"Reply... Reply to Empress Ling Fei. I am Ying'er, the personal maid of Concubine Ying of Chuxiu Palace. My master sent me to Yonghe Palace to deliver the copied palace rules. However, I have delivered them many times in the past half month, but every time I was sent back by Empress Mei to be rewritten. I feel sorry for my master, so I made a fool of myself. Please forgive me, Empress Ling Fei." Ying'er sobbed and looked really pitiful.
Although she said she cried because she felt sorry for her master, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was being ridiculed in Yonghe Palace, otherwise she wouldn't have cried in public.
Seeing this, Yan Wan sighed slightly and offered sympathetic help. "Poor thing, you're truly loyal to your master. Well, I just happen to be going to Yonghe Palace. Please give these copied palace rules to my attendants to take with them. Go back and tell your master that I've checked them on behalf of Concubine Mei and that they're flawless. Tell them not to copy them again."
"Thank you, Her Majesty Ling Fei, thank you, Her Majesty Ling Fei. Your great kindness and virtue will always be remembered in my heart." Ying'er was overjoyed to hear this and quickly knelt down to express her gratitude.
"It's okay, it's just a piece of cake. You can go back now and don't make your master wait anxiously." Yanwan smiled softly and instructed the person next to her to take the tray from her hand.
"Yes, thank you, Empress Lingfei."
Looking at Ying'er's departing figure, Yanwan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
She originally wanted to not recruit those two, but she would rather use some tricks to pull them to her side than see them stand on Ruyi's side.
She felt happy only when she saw Ruyi and Hai Lan and their group suffering.
Noble Lady Ying, this time, you must see clearly who is the real good person in the harem!
Ying'er lived up to everyone's expectations. As soon as she returned to Chuxiu Palace, she announced the good news with a smile on her face: "Master! That's great. You don't have to copy the palace rules anymore..."
Concubine Ying's face lit up with joy, and she quickly asked, "But is it the Empress who made the decision? Or is Concubine Mei finally satisfied this time?"
Ying'er shook her head and continued with a smile, "It was Concubine Ling who helped me. Today, I delivered something to Yonghe Palace and was ridiculed. The item was sent back and had to be rewritten. I couldn't help crying halfway and happened to run into Concubine Ling. She took a look and said that she had checked it for Concubine Mei and that there was no problem with the copied palace rules. She took it to Yonghe Palace along the way. My master, this is great. I finally don't have to copy the palace rules anymore."
Hearing that she didn't have to copy anymore, Concubine Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect that the person who helped her in the end was Concubine Ling.
I think she is a good person. Not only did she speak for them in front of the emperor, but she also forgave them in public and did not make things difficult for them.
This matter was caused by Concubine Mei making things difficult for them. She had been ill during the period, so it should have nothing to do with Concubine Ling.
She was a little dazed for a moment, muttering, "It would be better if I didn't have to copy it. I thought it was the Empress who helped me, but I didn't expect it to be Concubine Ling. I didn't know the depth of the matter that day and offended her..."
"My lord, in my humble opinion, the Empress doesn't seem to be genuinely willing to help. The six palaces have seen how much suffering you've endured in the past half month, and in the end, it was all just a word from Concubine Ling. The Empress is of much higher status than Concubine Ling. It's just a matter of a word, is it necessary to wait so long..."
"If she had told Concubine Mei earlier that she had checked everything out, like Concubine Ling did, then everything would be fine. She's the Queen, and her words are golden. How could Concubine Mei really bother her?"
Ying'er was tidying up the pens, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, mumbling to herself, and her words struck Ying Guiren's heart like the waves of sound when a huge bell was struck.
After all, she was young, and after just a few words, she began to waver in her decision.
"You'd better stop talking. Haven't I, your master, committed enough bad words? Don't say such things in the palace again in the future."
Although Concubine Ying was shaken by the Queen's words and actions, she pretended to be calm on the surface.
She scolded Ying'er. She was very clear about the truth that words can cause trouble. She learned from her mistakes and didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Yes, I was just excited for a moment. I won't do that again in the future. By the way, Ke Yingchi doesn't know about this yet. Should I go and inform her?"
"Go ahead, and ask her to come over and sit with you when she's free."
Although the matter was settled, Concubine Ying was still a little flustered. This was her first time in the palace, and she was young and inexperienced. In the end, she still wanted to meet Ke and hear her opinion before making a decision.
Concubine Ying has not had a good time in the past few months. After seeing the emperor's furious look, she has been trembling with fear.
Only then did she understand the horror of the deep palace. At this moment, she was like a frightened bird, cautious in everything, fearing that she would be caught by someone if she was not careful.
This frightened look is completely different from the bright and flamboyant Balin Meiruo when she first entered the palace.
She used to live under the wings of her father, King Bahrain, and was innocent and brilliant. However, after she entered the palace and suffered such a big setback, she began to gradually wake up.
Relying on the glory of her mother's clan alone was not enough; she had to rely on herself to survive in this palace. Not to mention maintaining the glory of her mother's clan, at least she wouldn't implicate her. Behind her were the lives of her entire clan, big and small.
If one is not careful and the whole clan is implicated, then they will become the sinner of all 49 Mongolian tribes.
