Chapter 337 I am really disappointed
Ruyi didn't think she was crazy, she thought it was Yanwan who was crazy.
She has always been a contradictory person. Her character is so strong that she can still insist on her love with the emperor even when he repeatedly treats her with contempt. At the same time, her character is extremely weak. When she finds out that the emperor does not love her, she will refuse to take medicine and indulge herself to death.
The memories of past and present lives are too vast. Ruyi, who is already panicking, firmly believes that since she can become the queen, it is because Hongli loves her so much, and she thinks that he will stand firmly on her side.
So, she walked confidently into Jiuzhou Qingyan, stood beside Hongli proudly and conceitedly, looked towards the door playfully, waiting for Hongli to vent her anger.
Hongli looked at Ruyi's profile with deep eyes, and he had a feeling that this woman had gone crazy.
She looked like a concubine before, but why today...she looks more like a wife than when I saw her the day before yesterday?
He was not praising her for her mistress demeanor, but he felt that she seemed to have some serious illness - as if she had been promoted from concubine to wife. Was she perhaps hysterical?
Jinzhong's report came from outside the door, and Yanwan and Jiafei arrived.
Hongli looked at Ruyi again, wondering how anxious she was. Not only was it a short meeting between two high-ranking concubines, but it took such a long time.
Ruyi had no idea what Hongli was thinking. She thought he was comforting her with his eyes. All the hostility in his eyes was gone, replaced by gentle and peaceful tenderness.
Hongli frowned almost imperceptibly. How come she... looks older? The Empress Dowager looks more energetic and lively than her.
The greetings from Yanwan and Jiafei interrupted Hongli's gaze on Ruyi. He turned to look at his two concubines, and his brows softened instantly.
Yanwan is gentle and beautiful, with a clean and soft temperament, while Jiafei is beautiful and has a generous temperament.
Either of these two women looks more like Ruyi to him than his...
Hongli paused for a moment, and blamed the sudden thought of lowering his generation in his mind on Ruyi's dress. Only then did he feel a little better.
He said gently, "Get up. Why are you guys making a scene for no reason?"
The question was directed to Yanwan and Concubine Jia, but his eyes were on Yanwan, obviously waiting for Yanwan to speak and draw a conclusion, or even let her settle the matter herself.
Yan Wan sighed: "Your Majesty, I wonder how Concubine Xian complained to you?"
Concubine Jia laughed and said, "Does the Imperial Concubine need to ask? To Concubine Xian, no one in the palace can live up to her standards.
The one with a higher status relied on his position to bully her and find fault everywhere. The one with a lower status just didn't know the rules, so she had to teach him a lesson in order to uphold the palace rules.
After he finished speaking, he smiled and asked Ruyi: "Is what I said correct? Hmm?"
Ruyi said calmly, "People are in control of what is right and wrong. It's not your high position that makes it final."
Yan Wan looked at Hongli helplessly: "Your Majesty also thinks that what Xianpin said is right?"
Ruyi looked at Hongli, her eyes full of calmness - her young man had gone through so much hardship to make her his wife, so how could he not believe her but Wei Yanwan!
Hongli felt guilty for his fleeting anger. For a moment, he was indeed overwhelmed by the past friendship and felt that Yanwan and Jiafei did not give him face and kept looking for trouble with Ruyi.
However, looking at Concubine Jia's sarcastic expression and Yanwan's helpless but gentle look, he felt ashamed for his own weak will:
"I have always known Concubine Xian's temperament, and I also understand your and Concubine Jia's styles of doing things."
He sighed and looked at Ruyi.
Ruyi smiled confidently and calmly, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I just don't want some people to make the palace a mess. If I suffer some injustice, I won't think it's a big deal as long as I can make you happy."
Hongli: “…”
He didn't want to waste time arguing with Ruyi, so when he heard her say that, he said, "I am relieved that you can do this. Since you have agreed, I will double the punishment that the imperial concubine gave you before. Go back and repent."
Ruyi nodded, then suddenly raised her head and looked at Hongli with wide eyes, her face full of disbelief: "Your Majesty?!"
Hongli waved his hand: "Go quickly."
Ruyi's eyes turned red: "You didn't even ask me what happened, and you just disposed of me like this?"
She turned her head and glanced at Yan Wan. She was irritated by the calm and playful expression on Yan Wan's face, and her defense was completely broken:
"Your Majesty! You are not a wise ruler. A three-judge trial is required to solve the case, and you didn't even ask..."
Hongli interrupted her: "I don't even need to ask, I know that you must have offended the Imperial Concubine with your words. You always dislike her, but she is the Imperial Concubine I personally appointed!
When you teach a lesson to someone who is lower in rank than you, you are afraid that your power is not great enough. But why do you act so presumptuous in front of a concubine who is higher in rank than you?
Ruyi! I am considerate of your years of service, and I treat you a little more specially, but if you still don't know when to advance or retreat, then I will have to punish you and correct the palace rules."
Ruyi was heartbroken: "To put it bluntly, the emperor still trusts Wei Yanwan more than me!"
Hongli's eyes turned fierce, and he finally realized how outrageous she was this time: "You call the imperial concubine by her name directly, where has your upbringing gone to?!"
He even thought that Ruyi had gone insane: "I think you are talking nonsense because you have hysteria, so go back and reflect on your mistakes! You are not allowed to come out again before you return to the palace!"
After a pause, he said in a cold voice: "You are not allowed to use those tricks to win favor. No matter how much you yell in your yard this time, I will not go there again. If you don't mind being embarrassed, just come and try again!"
Ruyi's face felt hot, and she felt as if she had been slapped in the face by Hongli and Yanwan, and she cried until tears fell.
"Your Majesty, we have known each other since we were young..."
"I have known you for a long time, so you can disobey the law? Then can my wet nurse be pardoned if she rebels? Jinzhong has served me for many years, can he directly usurp the throne?"
Jinzhong, who was suddenly disturbed, knelt down hurriedly: "I dare not!"
Yan Wan and Concubine Jia also knelt down together: "Your Majesty, please calm down!!"
The more respectful and cautious they were, the more it seemed as if Ruyi had hysteria. She had no respect for the emperor at all, and her eyebrows were raised... It was as if she was scolding her son.
Ruyi had no idea that she was being roasted on the fire.
Her heart and eyes were filled with Hongli's anger, and her mind was filled with the thought that Hongli was blind and did not believe what his wife said. Instead, he scolded her for the two evil concubines, Wei Yanwan and Jin Yuyan.
She angrily pulled out the hairpin from her hair and threw it to the ground: "Your Majesty! You are so blinded by lust. I am really... so disappointed!!!"
