"You, humph!" Gu Yunru was about to walk past him, but he grabbed her waist with one hand and pushed her down on the bed...

Concubine Duan in Yongning Palace had been anxiously waiting for Gu Yunru's arrival, but she didn't expect that she hadn't come yet.

Rong Yinzhi was also walking around, and Concubine Duan seemed a little dizzy. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Okay, Zhi'er, can you just sit down and be quiet? You're making your mother dizzy."

"Mother, is the Princess Zhao not coming? Why did she deliberately stand us up?!" Rong Yinzhi asked in confusion. Seeing her son's anxious look, Concubine Duan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. She waved her hand and asked him to sit aside.

"Alright, Zhi'er, it's such a small matter, and you still let your mother take care of it personally. How useless!"

"Isn't it because you had some friendship with her before? I haven't seen her for so many years, and I don't know what Aunt Wang's temper is like. Is she so easy to talk to? But I heard that Aunt Wang has a bad temper."

"Ahem!" Concubine Duan coughed twice, signaling him not to say anything he shouldn't say, so as not to give others a handle. At this time, Gu Yunru came late and walked into the sight of the two. Rong Yinzhi looked at Gu Yunru who had dressed up. Unexpectedly, she looked more than ten years younger. Her delicate and beautiful red lips were like a rose bud, graceful and charming, with a pure look! "Aunt Wang!"

Gu Yunru had walked into everyone's sight with full confidence, but when this eldest nephew called her Aunt Wang, she completely collapsed, and her face became very ugly, sometimes blue and sometimes white. Concubine Duan winked at Rong Yinzhi, how could this child call her Aunt Wang casually? She heard that what Gu Yunru hated most was that others called her older than her! "I said the wrong thing, please forgive me, Aunt Wang!"

Gu Yunru suddenly felt like several invisible knives were stabbing into her chest, and she had to force herself to smile as she looked at the mother and son. Could it be that Concubine Duan wrote to her specifically to let this silly nephew humiliate her? "Yin Zhi, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and bring up the best West Lake Longjing tea for the princess to taste."

“Yes… yes!”

Gu Yunru was sitting on the side with a round fan in her hand. She was being attentive to him for no reason. She must be a traitor or a thief. The mother and son must be up to something. Could it be that they were asking her to find out who the emperor had given the throne to? However, this matter had been kept secret, so it should not be for this matter.

"Yin Zhi, you seem to have grown a lot taller. You seem to be 28 this year."

"Yes, yes, this kid has been able to eat since he was young." Concubine Duan looked at Gu Yunru with a wry smile, as if she had something to hide.

"Empress Duan, there's no need to talk about our friendship. Just tell me what you want to say."

Gu Yunru thought about the invisible knives just now, and of course she had to return them. Rong Yinzhi was the eldest son, born to Concubine Duan, but his reputation was not very good. Everyone said that even if the emperor made a will, he would not be given the child.

Because he had asked for three palace maids to be his concubines since he was ten years old. When he was sixteen, he asked for three more palace maids. When he was eighteen, he traveled among the people and brought back six girls from brothels.

Naturally, his romantic character was not favored by everyone. Concubine Duan also advised him to restrain himself several times, but he was only interested in women's beauty and knew nothing else. Any woman he liked could not escape the fate of being taken into his harem.

If Rong Yinzhi wanted to be the emperor, he could only find this kind of fun.

Concubine Duan was no longer so reserved and spoke frankly.

"It's like this. My son saw a woman in the palace last time and had a good impression of her, so he asked me, her mother, to find out. I didn't expect to find out that the woman was actually from the palace, so I wanted to ask the princess to come and discuss this matter to see if it's possible..."

Concubine Duan always had a stiff smile on her face. When she smiled, she made people feel friendly, but that was all insincere. People in the palace said that Concubine Duan was already pregnant before she was made a concubine by the emperor, and she was able to take the position of concubine only after she gave birth to this eldest son.

But these are just some rumors in the harem. The gossip consciousness in the harem can compile a book of palace gossip and anecdotes.

"I wonder which maid Lady Duan is talking about?" Gu Yunru asked with pretended curiosity. Rong Yinzhi couldn't help but said, "It's the one who entered the palace with Aunt Wang that day in plain clothes. I think her name is Ji Ruyan. Yes, that's right. Just hearing the name makes me think she's very beautiful!"

Seeing her son's anxious look, Concubine Duan winked at him and told him to leave. This guy was really incapable of doing things, but more of a hindrance than a help. It was unreasonable to force a duck to do something when asking someone to do something. If you push someone too far, wouldn't he be desperate? "Ahem, Princess, I don't know about Miss Ruyan's family background, but she must be quite capable to be able to come to the capital with you two. So, I want to arrange a marriage for my son. I wonder if Miss Ruyan is married?"

"Of course not, because her husband is dead and she is a widow." Gu Yunru said this, which scared Concubine Duan. She didn't expect that this woman was a husband-killing woman. As expected, the more beautiful a woman is, the more untrustworthy she is. Who knows what she has done before? She can't let her son marry such a woman.

When Rong Yinzhi saw Aunt Wang leave, he curiously entered Yongning Palace, came to Concubine Duan, grabbed her arm and said, "Mother, how did you talk with Aunt Wang? Is she willing to give that girl to me?" Rong Yinzhi stared at her curiously with his eyes open. Concubine Duan took a sip of tea, gave him an unhappy look, and shook off his hand.

"Do you know where Ji Ruyan came from? She used to live in Yangzhou City, a place full of brothels. Later, she eloped with a scholar, who died because of her. She is a jinx who brings bad luck to her husband. How dare you marry her? Do you know that you will attract a lot of criticism?"

After hearing this, Rong Yinzhi shook his head disapprovingly and said, "So what? Isn't she innocent now? How can she attract any criticism?"

Besides, I already have a wife, and she can only be a concubine at best. Mother, you love me the most, can't you satisfy me with this little request?"

Seeing her son throwing a tantrum, Concubine Duan also fell for this trick. If Ji Ruyan had a clean family background, it would have been fine. But she didn't expect her past to be so complicated, and she even had a relationship with the emperor...
