Chapter 126: Men should be bolder
Chapter 126: Men should be bolder
It was only after Rong Pei reminded her that she realized she had said the wrong thing. Ruyi cleared her throat.
Rong Pei immediately heard the voice and said:
"You ladies should know what you can say and what you cannot say."
After hearing such embarrassing and secretive words, and with Ruyi covering her mouth, everyone could only look at Shufei secretly.
Jin Yuyan is not afraid of Ruyi, playfully:
"It's strange. It was Shu Fei who lost her bellyband last time, and it's Shu Fei who did such a shameless thing now. Someone must have harmed Shu Fei."
"Sister Shufei has always been dignified."
Jin Yuyan told more and more about Shu Fei's embarrassing things. The people below had already started to whisper.
"Your Majesty, I really don't know."
"It's all Concubine Ling's fault. Concubine Ling knew why she didn't say it clearly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have mentioned the deer blood wine, and the Queen wouldn't have said all these things."
Concubine Ke did something wrong, but she was the first to blame Yan Wan.
When Ruyi heard this, she looked at Yanwan with a reproachful expression.
Ruyi agreed very much and would not have said such words if Yanwan had not been embarrassed to stop her.
In fact, Yan Wan was still afraid that Concubine Ke would blame her, but Concubine Ke quickly passed the blame to Yan Wan, which made Yan Wan feel relieved.
Now that Ruyi also came to speak for Concubine Ke, Yanwan knew that her chance to clear herself of bullying Concubine Ke had come.
Yan Wan explained with a wronged look on her face:
“I also heard the nonsense that people in the Queen’s palace were talking about regarding Concubine Shu.
Those people were certainly not instructed by the Queen.
No matter how I got the news, it would be wrong for me not to tell anyone about it.
Isn't it? Your Excellency? "
When Yan Wan looked at Concubine Ke for the last time, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes, just like the day she beat Concubine Ke.
Noble Lady Ke instantly realized that Yan Wan did it on purpose.
Noble Lady Ke immediately pointed at Yan Wan.
"Ling Fei, you are harming me again. You knew all this and deliberately waited for me and the Queen to say these words."
When Concubine Ke pointed at her, Yan Wan shrank back.
"Mr. Ke, where did you get the idea from?"
Everyone feels sorry for Yan Wan when she is like this.
"My Lady Ke, how could Concubine Ling know what the Empress would suddenly say?
How can I know what you will say? How can I calculate every step? "
"Besides, this is still the Yikun Palace, the Queen is still here, what's the rule for you to point fingers at people casually?"
Concubine Qing understood that Concubine Ke was trying to curry favor with Ruyi. Being with Ruyi would mean being against her.
Ruyi didn't want to speak for Yanwan, she just hated that someone was defending Yanwan in front of her. She just watched from the sidelines as Qingpin said.
Noble Lady Ke saw that Ruyi didn't want to care about Yanwan, so she became aggressive.
"Yes, it's not Concubine Ling's fault. In fact, if I were to say, there's nothing wrong with the emperor drinking deer blood wine."
"My mother once told me that I was born when my mother and father were traveling together.
At that time, my father Khan was only pursuing my mother.
I still think it is an extremely romantic and overbearing love story. "
"Mother said that men should be bolder."
What Noble Lady Ke said was really blunt.
But her face was still filled with pride, proud of her father's ability. Proud that she could think of this to refute what Yan Wan and the others said.
"Oh, Lady Ke hasn't entered the emperor's bed yet, but she knows a lot."
Jin Yuyan had served the emperor in the palace for more than 20 years and knew nothing. But with just one sentence, she made Concubine Ke blush and she didn't know how to refute.
Lady Ke really didn't expect to go here.
"Alright. We have disturbed the Queen for a long time. The Mulan Autumn Hunt will be held in a few days. Let's talk about other things and forget about the deer blood wine."
Concubine Chun has now learned to secretly make a big deal out of a small matter or a small matter disappear when others are making things difficult for Ruyi.
People who don't like Ruyi seem to have this tacit understanding. Jin Yuyan stopped talking about the previous topic and asked Li Xin to bring a food box over.
"Empress, these are the sour dried apricots made by Li Xin. These are my favorites nowadays. I will give some to you, too."
Jin Yuyan stared at the sour dried apricots, which was the main purpose of her visit today.
It is really suspicious that Ruyi eats so much spicy food.
"Noble Concubine Jia, the Queen Mother has ordered that the Queen is not allowed to eat anything given by others."
Just as Li Xin brought over the sour dried apricots, she was stopped by Li Yu.
Li Yu had been staying behind the screen, and everyone was surprised when he stopped them.
Faced with Jin Yuyan's confusion, Li Yu gave another explanation.
"The Queen Mother said that the baby in the Queen's belly needs to be carefully taken care of, and the Queen doesn't like sour food now."
After Li Yu finished speaking, everyone else envied Ruyi. The Queen Mother obviously attached great importance to Ruyi's pregnancy. That's why Li Yu was so thoughtful.
Jin Yuyan was feeling depressed, as she was not sure whether Ruyi was carrying a boy or a girl. But Li Yu's appearance and obstruction made her sure that Ruyi was carrying a boy.
A girl, why would she need the Queen Mother to trouble herself?
Jin Yuyan's eyes rolled and she quickly thought of a solution.
After leaving Yiku Palace, he started discussing with Zhenshu and Lixin.
"The Emperor hasn't come to the harem for some time."
Li Xin was stunned.
"The emperor didn't come, but he should be fine, otherwise where would the master and the queen have their dragon fetus?"
Li Xin thought Jin Yuyan was questioning the emperor's ability.
Jin Yuyan was amused by Li Xin's words. Zhenshu hurriedly explained.
“That’s not what my Lord meant.
The emperor kept the drinking of deer blood wine a secret, but the queen spread rumors everywhere. Shouldn't the emperor take care of it?"
Li Xin understood instantly.
"Yes. The Queen just said it in front of so many people, who knows who will spread it.
They said that the people around the Queen were not very strict with their mouths, and Concubine Ling even said that she heard about it from the Queen's people. "
Li Xin hesitated for a moment as she spoke.
"But my Lord, if the Emperor's reputation gets out like this..."
Jin Yuyan held her bulging belly.
"What does the Emperor's reputation have to do with me?"
Although Li Xin was confused by what Jin Yuyan said, she felt it made sense.
Soon the good news that the emperor drank deer blood wine and had sex with Shu Fei in broad daylight in Chuxiu Palace spread throughout the six palaces.
When the emperor heard what Ruyi said when the concubines paid their respects, he immediately came to Yikun Palace.
"If the Queen is not feeling well, please do not pay respects to her for the next few days, so that she will not be too tired and say something she shouldn't say."
The emperor's dissuasion was considered tactful.
But Ruyi refused to listen and stood up to confront the emperor.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty committed adultery in broad daylight, and you still blame me for telling others about it?"
"I was going to punish Concubine Shu that day, but the Queen Mother and the Emperor stopped me."
"And the things I said at that time were all because I was worried about the baby in my belly."
The emperor had no chance to get a word in after hearing Ruyi's previous remarks. But after hearing this, he had something to say.
"The queen is worried about the child, isn't it because the queen came up with a stupid idea first?"
Ruyi was blamed by the emperor. She glared at the emperor fiercely and said without thinking:
"If Your Majesty wants to say so, then I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty.
Did Concubine Shu force the emperor to drink the deer blood wine after she opened his mouth? "
"Was it the Emperor who was greedy that day, or was it Concubine Shu who was at fault?"
"The Emperor is so obsessed with Concubine Shu!"
