Chapter 154 Ruyi Seizes Yongqi
Chapter 154 Ruyi Seizes Yongqi
Bai Ruiji pulled Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, a girl can't wait for a few years, so don't forget Jingai."
"Don't worry, I love Jing Ai the most."
Bai Ruiji suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and reluctantly left the Yangxin Palace.
Hongli told Hailancha to do his job. When Hailancha was about to leave, Hongli asked, "Has your family arranged a marriage for you?"
Hailancha replied: "No, my family is poor, and I just want to work hard to earn some money for the military in the past few years. I don't want to delay the girl."
Hongli nodded and said, "That's right. Tell your family not to arrange a marriage for you. Wait for me to find you a good match."
Hailancha touched his head and retreated embarrassedly.
Several years later, Jing Ai watched her sisters playing with her husband and rubbed her hands silently.
The first time she tried to flirt with Hailancha, she slapped him and her palm turned blue. Other people's princes were made of flesh, but hers was made of iron.
When Ling Yunche was on duty at night, he sat on the steps of the side door of Jingren Palace with a pot of wine. Ruyi approached with a bowl of ham and bamboo shoots soup and sat gently beside Ling Yunche.
"Have a bowl of soup. It's a cool night."
Ling Yunche took the soup from Ruyi, his eyes shining brightly.
"Your Majesty has taken good care of me over the years, and I am grateful to you."
Ruyi's joy was beyond words.
"Fortunately, Meiruo is kind, unlike Baierguosi, so I have the opportunity to take care of you."
"Drink the soup quickly, it will be bad if it gets cold."
Ling Yunche drank Ruyi's soup. Although the soup that Xian promised was not tasty, he always felt it was sweet every time he drank it.
Ten steps away, another guard guarding Jingren Palace rubbed his eyes in disbelief. What did he see?
The two of them chatted together as if no one was around. She talked about her young boyfriend, and he talked about his girl next door. They were just poor people who had been hurt.
Ruyi felt lost.
"When we were in love, we had endless things to say to each other. Now, if we open our mouths again, we're afraid of hurting each other."
Ling Yunche took a sip of wine and said to Ruyi: "I only hope that you will live a safe and smooth life. If there is any other hope, I hope you will be free."
Ruyi smiled sweetly.
Ruyi stood up to say goodbye. She looked back at Ling Yunche reluctantly. The man's back under the moonlight was so majestic. No matter how deep her love was, she was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart because of her family background.
Ruyi turned around and took a few more steps.
Ling Yunche also turned around to look at Ruyi. The woman's back under the moonlight was so desolate. No matter how smart she was, it was because of the passage of time that her childhood sweetheart mistook a pearl for a fish eye.
After repeating this over and over again, they finally missed each other's reluctant look back.
Suddenly, Yue Lao couldn't bear it anymore. Ruyi and Ling Yunche turned around at the same time. The gaze at that moment was worth a thousand words.
Ruyi smiled, and Ling Yunche also smiled.
Ruyi turned around and left resolutely.
Balin Meiruo is also useless, she wants to climb up by herself, climb to the highest point, and plan a good future for Ling Yunche.
Her mother's family is useless, her relationship with the emperor is useless, her friends are useless, and she still has a son.
"With Yongji, the emperor will definitely come to see me."
Jingsi came to see Yongji again. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Somehow, among all her brothers and sisters, she loved Yongji the most.
The first thing that little Yongqi grasped in his hand was her finger, and the first time he learned to crawl, he crawled towards her.
When A Ruo saw Jing Si, she warmly invited her in and asked Ling Zhi to bring a table full of snacks.
"The Fifth Princess is here to play with Yongji. I'm going to Changchun Palace to take care of myself."
"Don't worry, Madam Shen. I will take care of Yongji."
After the Fifth Princess sent Arruo out, she sat back down next to Yongqi. Yongqi had just learned to speak, and his babbling was not clear enough.
His two calves are strong now, and he walks very fast, but he is still not very stable, and an adult needs to bend down and hold his hand.
Jingsi watched Yongji finish his breakfast, then pulled him, who was in high spirits, out of the main hall.
There were two lotus ponds in the Chuxiu Palace. Jingsi was afraid that Yongqi would fall into the pond, so he pulled her out of the palace gate and walked on the palace path.
Jingsi looked down at his brother, and suddenly saw a pair of crotch soles.
She looked up and bumped into Ruyi's cheek as she lowered her head. Jingsi unconsciously took a few steps back.
Jingsi held Yongji's hand with one hand and stroked his chest which was beating like a drum with the other hand. After calming down his emotions, he paid his respects to Ruyi.
"Why doesn't Empress Xian go to Changchun Palace to pay respects to Empress Dowager?"
The ordinary question somehow annoyed Ruyi, and she said coldly: "I am not feeling well, so I asked for leave from the Queen. I know that Concubine Hui is on good terms with the Queen, so the princess doesn't have to force the concubines to follow the Queen's lead all the time."
Jing Si suppressed his displeasure and said, "In that case, Empress Xian, please go back to the palace and rest. I will not disturb you any more."
Jing Si remembered that when he was a child, he liked this lady very much and always wanted to be close to her. But because of her mother, she always insulted her in a sarcastic way. After a long time, he was a little afraid of her and just wanted her to leave quickly.
Ruyi said, "I am here today to take Yongqi back to the palace. If you give Yongqi to me, I will leave."
Jing Si protected Yong Ji behind him and said, "If Empress Xian wants to take Yong Ji out for fun, she should still inform Empress Shen."
Ruyi tried to snatch Yongqi, but the sickly Fifth Princess was no match for her.
"Yongji is my child. What does that servant have to do with him?"
Ruyi pulled Yongqi into her arms and turned to walk towards Jingren Palace.
Yongqi struggled to stretch out his little hand from Ruyi's arms and asked his sister for help.
Crying and shouting: "Jiejie, kiss me."
Reason told Jingsi that she should ask the Empress Dowager for help, but when she saw Yongqi's tears, she lost her mind.
The voice in her heart told her that she must get Yongji back. If Yongji continued to follow his biological mother, his life would be over.
Jingsi rushed forward, but Ruyi held Yongji tightly and refused to let go. Jingsi did not dare to snatch him away for fear of hurting his brother.
Yongqi thought that his sister was unwilling to take care of him anymore, and he cried bitterly.
Jingsi could only hold on to Ruyi tightly and signal the maid beside him to call for help.
Ruyi was furious and slapped Jingsi to the ground.
"You are so bold and disrespectful to your stepmother. What did the imperial concubine teach you?"
Jingsi felt a tight pain in his chest, and his eyes went dark before he passed out.
Rong Pei called on the passing eunuch to subdue Ruyi, and sent a palace maid to invite the imperial physician. He held the princess's head, pinched her philtrum, and fed her the medicine she carried in her purse.
Gao Xiyue took off her flowerpot bottoms and quickly ran towards Chuxiu Palace. The stones on the road hurt her, but she didn't care. She was just afraid that her daughter would be bullied by Ruyi.
Seeing the unconscious Jingsi from afar, her heart skipped a beat and she almost fainted. She bit her tongue and forced herself to stay awake.
"Rong Pei, how is the princess?"
"The princess has taken the medicine. I have already asked someone to invite Doctor Ye."
