Chapter 303 Wei Yanwan 43
Ruyi turned this question over and over in her mind, but she still didn't ask. It seemed that her childhood friendship with the emperor was not as close as the two or three years of friendship others had. She was afraid that Hongli would even laugh at her for being jealous.
But now, she is the only one in the palace who is still wondering who the emperor loves more.
Others were obviously more concerned about why the emperor punished the pregnant concubine for no reason. Even the empress dowager summoned the emperor to ask him about it.
Unfortunately, the incident did not break out this time. Such an erotic affair was intolerable to the royal family, especially since it involved two high-ranking concubines and a future queen mother. Even Zhen Huan, the queen mother, remained silent. As a result, the people in the palace who did not know what was going on only felt that a dangerous fog was shrouding them, and they did not even know the reason.
The emperor and the empress dowager jointly conducted a secret investigation. Zhenshu who was beside Concubine Jia, Ai'er in the ice room, and the guard who picked up the things were almost all in trouble.
Unfortunately, Zhenshu was loyal and Ai'er was infatuated. Only the guard could not bear it and admitted that someone had bribed him. But when Yuhu found the person who had made the deal with him, the young eunuch had already fallen into the well and drowned.
If we investigate further, it will be just like the death of Empress Fucha, where it seems that everyone is involved.
This feeling of déjà vu made Hongli give up for the time being. He pretended not to pursue the matter any further in front of Ruyi and Wei Yanwan, and quietly took out a small wooden box in a place where no one was around. Inside the box were the beads and broken white jade jasmine that Yu Hu had found around Su Lian's body that day.
Apart from the imprisonment of a pregnant woman who was inexplicably demoted to a noble lady, there were no other disturbances in the palace. Over time, no one cared about it anymore.
Now in the palace, what is more eye-catching is that both the emperor's new and old favorite concubines are pregnant.
No matter what Hongli was thinking, he had a proud look on his face. He raised his hand and promoted Shupin to Shufei. Although Meifei was not promoted, her reward was three levels higher than Shufei's.
Fortunately, the three of them were good friends, and Concubine Mei only grumbled a few words. Afterwards, they happily held hands and went to Yongshou Palace to have fun with Concubine Gui.
And because they became pregnant at a similar time, their relationship became even better than before.
"Yihuan's foundation is weaker after all, and her reaction is much greater than Ruiji's. We still need to be more careful."
Yihuan leaned on the couch, looking listless and listless. After hearing this, she only sighed slowly, "Is there any solution? Imperial Physician Jiang and Imperial Physician Qi have both examined me. I've tried so many methods, but I still have no appetite and am terribly dizzy. It's better to lie sideways."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ruiji next to him with some envy. She was eating the grape milk cake that Yanwan had specially made for them, and Yihuan couldn't help but take a piece as well. She took two bites and put it down.
"She has such a voracious appetite that the entire Yonghe Palace has been ordered to keep watch over her, fearing she might overeat. You two should combine the two to save me the trouble."
Wei Yanwan touched her smooth face pretentiously and sighed, "I really owe you two so much. You're both so different, trying to persuade one and coax the other. I'm almost getting wrinkles on my face these days."
"People say that those who are capable should do more work. Your Majesty, you have taken so much trouble. When we have children, everyone will line up to recognize you as their aunt."
"Shock! After serving the older one, you now have to serve the younger one? Even the old oxen in the fields wouldn't dare to be ordered around like that. The two ladies should just put away their magical powers."
The three of them spent another winter laughing and playing. With their own careful precautions and Wei Yanwan's care, Yu Chunri and her husband both gave birth to babies safely.
Concubine Shu gave birth to the fifth princess Jingxian, and Concubine Mei gave birth to the eleventh prince Yongchen as she wished.
This actually made Hongli really happy, and he loved the two children even more.
As for the tenth prince born to Concubine Jia, she was not happy with him and even gave him only the character "Xuan" in his name.
The sudden appearance of so many babies crying in the palace was a happy occasion no matter how you looked at it, and it also made Hongli in a good mood recently.
At this time, what Ruyi said when she ran to the Yangxin Palace seemed a little inappropriate.
"Your Majesty, Yonghuang's health has been getting worse since the beginning of spring. Are you really not going to go see him?"
"He's not feeling well simply because he had thoughts he shouldn't have, and I caught him thinking, so he feels guilty and afraid."
Hongli was a little impatient, but seeing Ruyi's disapproving expression, he softened his tone and said, "I have sent Qi Ru to give him proper medical treatment. As long as he behaves himself in the future, I will naturally not blame him anymore."
Although Ruyi was not satisfied with the result, she knew that she could not persuade the child anymore, so she had to care more about the poor child in private.
That day, Wei Yanwan was chatting with Ruyi in Yiku Palace. Ruyi took a flower and fiddled with it for a while. Turning around, she saw Yanwan leaning against the window copying calligraphy, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"What's wrong, Madam? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"
Wei Yanwan raised her head and looked at her in confusion. Ruyi shook her head, a broad smile still on her face: "Just now, I saw you copying calligraphy by the window, and you looked a bit like the emperor."
"How can I be so worthy as to deserve such a mockery from Your Majesty?"
The two of them exchanged a few banter, and Ruyi couldn't help but sigh, "Ever since she was imprisoned in Qixiang Palace, the harem has finally settled down. It really feels like we're living in peace and tranquility together."
Unfortunately, people can't stand being talked about. Ruyi had just finished lamenting the recent peaceful days when she saw someone rush in with a look of panic on his face. "My dear, there's a message from the eldest prince's mansion saying that he's dying."
Ruyi listened to the news in a daze. Although her expression was still dazed, her body had already reacted subconsciously: "Have you informed Concubine Chun?"
"If the eldest prince's wife had sent someone to ask you to do so, I have already sent someone to report this to Concubine Chun."
"Okay, prepare a sedan chair for me, and then send someone to report to the emperor."
Ruyi looked at Yanwan, but saw that she had already stood up: "Your Majesty, please go quickly..."
Looking at Ruyi's anxious back, Wei Yanwan could only sigh slightly that the child she had taken care of was about to die.
Her heart had become even colder than she had imagined. For example, now, after she had observed a brief three-second silence for the child, she was thinking in her heart that the distance from the Yiku Palace to the Yangxin Palace was much shorter this time. Would the emperor hear Yonghuang's last revelation before his death?
