Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Fawning

Chapter 148 The Princess of Bahrain Visits Her Relatives

After leaving Cining Palace, Hongli devoted himself entirely to the campaign against the Dzungars. Zeng Huan, true to her promise, led the concubines to the Anhua Palace to pray for blessings. Every day, Zeng Huan burned incense and prayed to the Buddha, hoping only for the safety of her ill-fated daughter. She also prayed for the soldiers on the front lines, hoping they would swiftly conquer the Dzungars and capture Dawachi alive.

Originally, all the women in the harem were supposed to go to Anhua Palace. But Meiruo felt that this matter had nothing to do with her. She didn't want to go to that shabby place and kneel for a whole day for some strangers. Besides, she was getting pregnant, and if she got hurt, how would she explain it to Hongli? So, she refused Zeng Huan's suggestion on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

Zeng Huan was worried about Heng Chui's affairs, so naturally she had no time to think about her. However, she did have a new respect for Yan Wan.

Both are pregnant, and the pregnancy period is close to that of the previous pregnancy. One is delicate and the other is pious.

If Hengchui can really return safely in the future, Zeng Huan will definitely give Yanwan a generous gift when her baby is born.

A few days later, the Princess of Bahrain and the two Princes of Bahrain finally arrived at the Forbidden City. However, the only people who came to greet the Bahraini convoy were from Meiruo's palace. This made the Princess of Bahrain very unhappy, feeling that her son-in-law, Hongli, did not value her at all. But when she saw Meiruo's pregnant belly, she smiled again.

Princess Bahrain: "My Mei'er, you have suffered."

Meiruo wanted to pay her respects.

But she was stopped by Princess Bahrain. She grabbed Meiruo's hand and said soothingly, "You are now the queen of the harem and you are pregnant. You can skip those complicated etiquette."

Meiruo smiled and nodded. When she looked behind the princess, her two brothers were looking at her with smiles.

"Brother, fourth brother, why are you here too?" Meiruo asked excitedly.

"I received your letter a few days ago. You sounded so aggrieved in it. The eldest and fourth brothers were worried about you, so they came with me to the palace to see you and support you. They told them that no one would dare bully you in the future."

Meiruo felt warm in her heart, but her nose felt sour, and there seemed to be a warm current in her eyes that seemed about to burst out.

At this time, A Bao stepped forward and said, "My lady, food has been prepared in Xianfu Palace. The princess and the two princes must be tired from the journey. Let's go back to Xianfu Palace and rest first."

Meiruo agreed: "Eji, eldest brother, fourth brother, then let's go back to my palace first."

After a hearty meal.

Balin Jirimutu touched his belly, burped, and then picked his teeth with his fingers. "Sister, why is this palace so deserted? I didn't see anyone on the way here. And where's my brother-in-law, the emperor? You're already seven months pregnant, right? Why doesn't he come to accompany you?"

Meiruo, who was originally happily talking to the Princess of Bahrain, suddenly became frowning.

Her aggrieved expression at this moment said it all.

The princess immediately noticed something was wrong, patted Meiruo on the shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong? Is the emperor treating you badly?"

Meiruo pouted, raised her handkerchief and pretended to wipe her eyes, sobbing, "At first, the Emperor really doted on my daughter, but then, for some reason, he slowly started to ignore her. He even treated her harshly for other people. And then there was that Empress Dowager, who inexplicably found a nanny to teach her the palace rules. If my daughter hadn't suddenly become pregnant, who knows how they would have tortured her right now."

"And that Concubine Cheng, relying on her relationship with the Empress Dowager, must be connected to her daughter's punishment. She might have been the one who complained to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. And Concubine Ling and Concubine Jia aren't good people either. They're vicious women with hearts as vicious as snakes and scorpions."

Meiruo blamed all the mistakes on others and cleared herself of all blame, as if she had done nothing wrong.

The princess has doted on Meiruo since she was a child, so naturally she couldn't bear to hear her say a word of suffering. After hearing Meiruo's pitiful experience, she was already in tears.

She stroked Meiruo's round and delicate face and said with pity, "My Mei'er, you have suffered."

The fourth prince, Balin Huricha, had a hot temper. Hearing his sister being bullied in the palace, his temper flared up. He slammed the table and angrily declared, "Hmph, these scoundrels dared to bully my little sister like this. They really thought my Balin tribe was a pushover. And that emperor actually allowed the Queen Mother to humiliate you. He simply didn't care about the Balin tribe. No, I'm going to go find my incompetent brother-in-law..."

After saying that, Hu Richa walked out the door.

The princess shouted, "Stop."

Hu Richa stopped, turned around and frowned, "Eji?"

At this time, Jirimutu also stood up, pulled Huricha back into the house, and said earnestly: "Fourth brother, we can't be impatient about this matter."

Hu Richa held the voucher in his hand, anger dancing in his eyes. "Then what do you say we should do?"

Princess: "Yes, do you have any ideas?"

Meiruo sat aside and sobbed softly.

Jirimutu took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned around and asked, "Eji, when we set out for the Forbidden City, did Abu receive a secret letter from the Emperor regarding the Dzungar War, in which he wanted the Balin tribe to help fight?"

The princess thought about it and thought that this was indeed the case. However, she was a woman after all, and managing the harem and taking good care of her children were her most important tasks. Although she knew that the Balin tribe would also send troops to accompany the Qing, she did not know when the elite troops would set out.

This reminded Meiruo. She sniffed, stood up, and said, "Brother, when you mentioned the war in Dzungar, I suddenly remembered that the emperor had a sister who was married far away in Dzungar. After the former leader was assassinated, the princess was ordered to remarry the enemy, Dawachi. The harem has been so quiet recently. First, the emperor has locked himself in the Yangxin Palace to discuss Dzungar affairs with his ministers, and second, the empress dowager took the concubines to the Anhua Palace to pray. So he has no time to care about others."

Jirimutu smiled and said, "If that's the case, then there's no need to be afraid. I'll write a letter to Abu and ask him to send elite troops. I've heard that princess is the emperor's most beloved sister. If she is rescued by our Balin tribe, she and the queen mother will surely be grateful to us. Then we can ask Abu to intervene and ask the emperor to make you a noble concubine or imperial concubine..."

Hu Richa: "If you ask me, with my status as a little sister, I am qualified to be the queen."

The brothers and sisters spoke without restraint, but the Princess of Bahrain did not stop them.

Hearing Jirimutu's words, Meiruo's face was filled with smiles, all the smile lines on her face appeared at once, and even the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed enthusiasm. She stood up and naturally took her two brothers' hands, just like when she was a child.

She said coquettishly, "Brother is so kind. My future happiness depends on you brothers and my mother's family."

The princess nodded with satisfaction.

Suddenly she thought of something and blurted out her doubts, saying, "By the way, I heard that Abahai's tribe also sent a princess to the palace. Are you getting along well?"
