Fu Cha Rongyin travels into Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
Chapter 43: Pearls Set off the Imperial Concubine
Things had developed to this point, and the two of them reconciled naturally.
It was already winter, and Ruyi was in a good mood. She often took惢心 with her to pick plum blossoms.
The two met Yihuan, talked for a while and were about to return to the palace. On the way, they ran into Ling Yunche, who had been waiting for a long time with a bouquet of red plums.
Ling Yunche came over to pay his respects very happily.
"Aren't you already working in Kunning Palace? Why don't you have to go on duty today?"
Ling Yunche pretended that he came to pick some plum blossoms to decorate the vases in Kunning Palace. Seeing his hesitation, Ruyi knew that he must have something to say.
"I dare not hide anything from the Queen. Previously, I had been working in the cold palace and thought I had no future. But now, thanks to the Queen's kindness, I was able to be transferred from the cold palace to Kunning Palace. So I have something to ask for your help."
Ling Yunche hesitated and didn't seem to know how to start, but he finally mustered up the courage and said, "I have never been able to forget Yan Wan. Before, I didn't have the ability, but now I am a guard in Kunning Palace, so I want to ask your Majesty..."
Ruyi sighed with a bit of helplessness and doting, "You just came out of the cold palace not long ago, and now that your career has just started to improve a little, someone is eagerly looking for you?"
Ling Yunche didn't dare to lie about this matter. "Although Yan Wan abandoned me because I had no future in the cold palace, I never believed that she was really a person who despised the poor and loved the rich."
"Now I would like to ask Your Majesty to help me find out. If I have a job in Kunning Palace in the future, or can make further progress in my career, can Your Majesty decide to give Yanwan to me? Or... can Your Majesty ask Yanwan to come to your side to serve you?"
Ruyi thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment, "Since you asked me this, I will naturally agree. But Changchun Palace also needs people to serve us. And I heard that your Miss Yanwan is now a senior maid in the Empress's favor. Her stay or departure is not something I can decide."
"Your Majesty, please do not embarrass me. I just hope that you can help me ask Yan Wan about her attitude. Your Majesty is so virtuous and kind. If Yan Wan knew that she had the opportunity to serve you and renew her relationship with me, she would definitely be overjoyed."
Although Ling Yunche said this, he seemed to have already determined that Wei Yanwan would definitely return to his arms after knowing that she had escaped from the cold palace and worked in Kunning Palace.
"I will ask for you. When winter is over and Changchun Palace is not so busy anymore, I will ask the Empress for her."
This was considered as Ruyi's agreement.
Some time passed again.
It’s time for the Spring Banquet.
Rongyin attended the ceremony with other concubines. The emperor gave her, the mistress of the imperial harem, a box of East China Sea pearls as a reward, and each of the remaining concubines received one pearl.
The pearls in the box are round and almost perfectly sized, and the moment you open it you can see the dazzling brilliance inside.
Gao Xiyue opened the small box in front of her, took out the pearls and admired them carefully before she started joking.
"The Emperor is so partial. He gave the Empress a whole box, but we only got one. No wonder the Emperor values the Empress so much!"
She said this not only because she was happy that the emperor expressed his appreciation for the queen in public, but also for Ruyi to hear.
So what if she keeps talking all day long? The only wife of the Emperor who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him is the Empress.
Ruyi looked at the pearl in her hand with lack of interest and was not affected by Gao Xiyue's words.
The emperor also rewarded the pregnant Gao Xiyue and Hai Lan with some extra jewelry, and gently advised them to take good care of the pregnancy. The two of them thanked him.
After the banquet, Hai Lan went back to rest early because she was weak. Gao Xiyue was different. It was unknown whether she had recovered or was about to give birth. Compared with other pregnant concubines, she was always more energetic.
She asked Mo Xin to help her go to the Queen's palace to have a bowl of sweet soup.
"My queen, I have suffered a lot these days. The little baby in my belly is jumping around all the time. I haven't been able to rest well for several nights. I just hope I can suffer less after the baby is born."
Gao Xiyue did not forget to praise Wei Yanwan while she was talking, "Yanwan, your craftsmanship is really getting better day by day. The Queen has a keen eye for talent. I didn't realize you had this talent before."
Wei Yanwan pushed over a small plate of sour plums and said, "My Lady Concubine, please eat slowly. I am a dumb person and I have been thinking of some tricks in the small kitchen when I have nothing to do. I just hope that the Queen can eat more every day. Please eat some plums to relieve your greasiness."
Rong Yin smiled, stood up and took out the box of East China Sea pearls that the emperor had given her at the banquet. "Take it. I saw at the banquet that you couldn't let go of your pearls. This box is for you."
Gao Xiyue was startled and quickly pushed the box back. "I like it only for my own part. How can I take away what Your Majesty loves? This box of pearls was given to Your Majesty by the Emperor."
Rong Yin's attitude was very firm. Firstly, she didn't like these vulgar things. Secondly, she felt uncomfortable with this emperor no matter how she looked at him. Instead of keeping this box of things as an eyesore, it would be better to give it to Gao Xiyue to make her happy.
"Since the Emperor gave it to me, this pearl is mine. I am now giving it to you. In ancient times, flowers were given to beauties, and now pearls are given to concubines. I wish you will be as bright and clear as the moon forever."
Gao Xiyue looked at the Queen a little embarrassedly, then accepted it, "Thank you very much for your kindness, Her Majesty."
"You are about to give birth, so don't move around these days and rest well in the palace. This is your first birth, so you may be a little nervous, but don't worry, I will be with you. The midwife and the imperial physician are all people I have personally examined, so you will be safe."
Rong Yin looked at Xiyue with emotion and gathered her cloak, "Mo Xin, take good care of the imperial concubine."
"Yes."
Gao Xiyue's eyes were red. How could she be so worthy to live with the Queen? She sat down and talked with the Queen for a long time, and promised solemnly that she would play the pipa for the Queen after she gave birth. Only then was she coaxed and persuaded by Mo Xin to go back to the palace.
After the chattering Gao Xiyue left, Changchun Palace gradually returned to peace. Wei Yanwan quietly stood behind Rongyin and massaged her temples. "Your Highness, you worked hard during the Spring Banquet. You can relax a little after Concubine Gao and Concubine Hai give birth."
