Chapter 37
Ruan Jun's eyes curved, and she couldn't help but stand up and kiss the corner of Yan Shiyu's lips, "Your Majesty is so good to me."
It was just that she practiced ten characters every day. The emperor must have seen the things she casually wrote and drew on the storybooks and her poor handwriting, which was why he did this.
What she hated most when she was young was learning calligraphy, but her father taught her carefully and gently, and her mother would hug her and praise her with homemade cakes after she finished writing.
Ruan Yun closed her eyes and suppressed all her emotions, then said with a smile, "I understand."
Yan Shiyu said coldly: "Don't go to Hanyu Palace unless necessary."
Ruan Jun's smile froze. The emperor's words could be considered a warning. He could allow her to rely on the emperor's favor to do other things, but Yu Ronghua was now pregnant with a dragon child. No matter what, the child in Yu Ronghua's belly could not be touched.
She groaned and said, "I won't go."
…
Hanyu Palace.
Yu Ronghua leaned on the pillow with a pale face and suddenly threw the teacup in her hand. Chen Lu supported Yu Ronghua and cried, "Master, please don't get angry now that you have a dragon descendant."
"Does the emperor care about me at all?" Yu Ronghua said with a sly look on her face, "I am pregnant with the heir, but the emperor wants me to stay in Hanyu Palace and not take a single step out!"
"The master's pulse is unstable, and the emperor is also considering the young lady. If you can give birth to the dragon heir safely, there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to go out in the future." Chen Lu wiped her tears and said word by word.
Yu Ronghua sneered and growled, "Is the emperor doing this for me? He is obviously doing this for that bastard!"
Chen Lu looked outside nervously, and couldn't help but lower her voice and said, "Master, don't say these things. If the emperor hears about this, I don't know how angry he will be."
Yu Ronghua placed her hand on her belly. It was still flat, yet she felt as if it was beating.
Yesterday, the Emperor came to Hanyu Palace. At that time, she looked at the Emperor with expectation. She thought that after she had his dragon descendant, the Emperor would always come to accompany her more often. However, she did not expect that she only saw the Emperor's indifferent face, his decree that she was not allowed to step out of Hanyu Palace, and his vague hints:
"I will send Doctor Li to personally take care of your pregnancy. The bitter cold tea and the confusion of the pulse cannot happen again."
Yu Ronghua angrily threw off her quilt and walked barefoot to the bronze mirror. She saw that her face was no longer the same as before. There was fatigue in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and her complexion became even worse.
Qing Ling, who was standing by, hurriedly supported Yu Ronghua and said softly, "Master, you have to take care of yourself."
Yu Ronghua suddenly waved her hand to sweep them away, grabbed Qingling and asked: "Tell me, is it because I am not as beautiful as before, is it because the emperor has long been tired of my face that he favors that bitch Ruan Yun!"
If she hadn't been unable to recognize the person and had been a step slower in her actions, Ruan Jun would have been a corpse lying on the mass grave. How could she have competed with her for favor?
After Yu Ronghua growled, she wanted to shake Qing Ling off, but unexpectedly she felt a sudden pain in her lower abdomen.
Chen Lu and Qing Ling were extremely panicked when they saw this, "Master!"
The two maids in the side hall heard the noise and hurried to the inner hall. Suddenly, Hanyu Palace was in chaos. Yu Ronghua grabbed Chen Lu's hand and said, "Quick, go and invite the emperor. I want to see the emperor."
Chen Lu wiped the tears from Yu Ronghua's face with a handkerchief, stood up and said, "Master, don't think about it. I will go and get it for you."
Although Yan Shiyu ordered that Yu Ronghua was not allowed to leave Hanyu Palace, he did not restrict the palace maids.
Qing Ling pushed Chen Lu and said, "Go quickly, the master is here with me."
Chen Lu hurriedly ran to Wei Yu with her skirt in hand. When she arrived outside the Purple Palace, she knelt in front of Wei Maoyuan and said, "Eunuch Wei, please go in and tell the emperor to come and see my master."
This news inevitably spread to the harem.
When the queen heard the news, she frowned and slammed her hand on the table, "What a mess!"
Qiyue said at the side: "Since Yu Ronghua doesn't care about her own body, why should Your Majesty care about her?"
The Queen didn't look at Qiyue, and said in a low voice: "I am the Queen, and I should take care of the concubines in the harem. Moreover, Yu Ronghua is a dragon descendant, so there is no reason for me to sit back and do nothing."
"Go get ready to drive."
Concubine Shu also heard the news first. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her expression was not good and her face was pale.
Liu Jin told this to Concubine Shu, who simply stroked the bright red nail polish on her hand and said, "Really?"
If Yu Ronghua herself destroys the royal heir, she can't blame anyone else.
There was a dull look in Concubine Shu's beautiful eyes. She touched the side of her face unconsciously, not knowing what she was thinking. She said, "Help me put on makeup. How can I not go and see such a great show?"
Liu Jin knew that he couldn't persuade Concubine Shu, so he could only follow Concubine Shu's wishes.
When the procession arrived at the gate of Hanyu Palace, everyone was stopped without exception.
The queen looked at the people in front of her and felt a headache coming on. She lost her usual gentle demeanor and said, "If everything is ok, you can all go back to the palace."
The news spread quickly in the harem, but judging from the emperor's current mood, he probably didn't want so many people to come.
Yan Shiyu's black dragon robe fluttered, leaving only a shadow to others. When the concubines saw this, they tightened the handkerchiefs in their hands and had no choice but to leave, no matter how unwilling they were.
Concubine Shu never cared about these things, and walked slowly and leisurely into the Hanyu Palace with her lotus steps.
The queen's face darkened, and Concubine Shu suddenly turned around as if she had just remembered something and said, "As a concubine, I don't have to be like other people, right?"
The words were extremely provocative, but the queen remained calm and said, "If my sister wants to come in, how can I stop her?"
Concubine Shu led the palace maids and walked in front of the empress. After Concubine Shu walked away, Ran Xia and others could not help but feel sorry for the empress and said, "Concubine Shu is arrogant and now she doesn't even take the empress seriously."
The Queen was normal and only said, "Is it only one or two times that she was disrespectful? Why should we get angry with her now?"
After a few moments, the empress regained her usual dignified and skillful appearance and entered the Hanyu Palace without any resentment.
In the inner hall.
The imperial physician was giving acupuncture to Yu Ronghua, while Yan Shiyu sat coldly beside her, not looking through the curtains.
When Concubine Shu came in, she sat next to Yan Shiyu and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Everything will be fine."
Yan Shiyu did not respond to Concubine Shu's words, but leaned back lazily, as if he didn't care at all.
Yu Ronghua sobbed quietly behind the curtains, and the Queen frowned when she heard it.
Even Wei Maoyuan, who was standing by, couldn't help but be shocked. Yu Ronghua was too ignorant. No matter what, Yu Ronghua was pregnant with the emperor's dragon descendant. Even if she was dissatisfied, she shouldn't be so careless about her body, let alone do anything that would harm the heir. The emperor asked Yu Ronghua not to leave Hanyu Palace unless necessary, which was already a sign of his great dissatisfaction with Yu Ronghua. He was afraid that Yu Ronghua would use the heir in her belly to do something bad to Ying Cairen, and he also wanted Yu Ronghua to take good care of the baby. Who would have thought...
Tomorrow is the New Year, but something like this happened in the palace. The Queen couldn't help but say, "It's all because of me who failed to manage the harem well and made His Majesty worried."
As she spoke, the empress knelt in front of Yan Shiyu, and Concubine Shu reluctantly knelt down as well.
Yan Shiyu turned the white jade ring and personally helped the queen up. He took her hand and asked her to sit next to him and said, "The queen has done a good job."
The Queen breathed a sigh of relief, while Concubine Shu stood up with a twitching and dejected look on her face.
The doctor came out quickly after acupuncture, knelt in front of Yan Shiyu and said: "Yu Ronghua is restless and irritable, which is not good for the fetus in her belly. If she rests well, she will definitely give birth smoothly. But if she continues like this, I am afraid that even Hua Tuo will be in trouble."
The Queen immediately asked, "Just rest?"
The doctor nodded, "It also has something to do with Yu Ronghua's own mood."
After the queen understood, she looked at Yan Shiyu, who simply said in a calm voice, "Take good care of Yu Ronghua."
Having said that, Yan Shiyu stood up and was about to leave without even going in to look at Yu Ronghua. The Queen wanted to speak but took it back.
Seeing this, Concubine Shu also wanted to leave with the emperor, but suddenly a mournful cry came from behind her. Yu Ronghua stumbled down from the bed and was helped down. She knelt in front of Yan Shiyu and grabbed the hem of Yan Shiyu's dragon robe with both hands.
"Your Majesty... please don't leave. Would you please stay and accompany me?"
When the imperial physician saw this scene, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "This..."
Yan Shiyu looked at Yu Ronghua coldly, and considering that she was of dragon descent, he finally held her arm and said, "Get up first."
Yu Ronghua shook her head violently, held Yan Shiyu's big hand and said, "When I get up, the emperor will leave."
The Empress and Consort Shu looked at the Emperor from time to time. Seeing his increasingly stern expression, the Empress said to the Hanyu Palace servants, "What are you standing there for? Help your master up!"
Chen Lu and Qing Ling took a step forward and let Yu Ronghua lean on them.
Yan Shiyu's black eyes were filled with tremendous anger. If she didn't care about herself and the royal heir in her belly, why should he care?
His eyes fixed on her face. It was unknown how much rouge and powder she had applied to cover the purpleness under her eyes. Yan Shiyu held the white jade ring on his finger and said coldly, "The imperial physician said that you need to rest well. I will come to see you another day."
Tears welled up in Yu Ronghua's eyes. She took a step forward and wanted to grab Yan Shiyu's sleeve, but her foot did not step firmly.
Chen Lu and Qing Ling were both panicked in an instant, and supported Yu Ronghua to call the imperial physician.
The Queen said in a deep voice: "Quick, send Yu Ronghua to the inner hall, and ask the female doctor to come over as well."
When Concubine Shu saw the painful expression on Yu Ronghua's face, she was a little frightened. She took a step back, but found that there was no one behind her. The emperor had already left.
When Yu Ronghua saw the final news about that figure, she couldn't help but shed tears, but her lower abdomen was in so much pain that she stretched her hands slightly outwards but didn't touch anything.
Yan Shiyu got on the imperial throne, and Wei Maoyuan stood aside in fear. The emperor was obviously angry. Yu Ronghua was pregnant with the royal heir. Although the emperor did not allow Yu Ronghua to leave the palace, no matter what, Yu Ronghua could not treat the dragon child in her belly as a joke.
After two pulls, the imperial staff was raised. Wei Maoyuan did not dare to guess the emperor's mind, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, are you going back to the Purple Palace, or to that young lady?"
Who knew there must be a sound from the imperial cannon? Yan Shiyu said in a deep voice, "Rui Yu Pavilion."
Ruan Yun had just finished bathing when she received the news. Her black hair was still wet but she didn't bother to wipe it. She hurried to the outside of the palace gate.
When Yan Shiyu stepped down from the imperial procession, all he saw was her long black hair scattered on her shoulders, with water droplets dripping from the ends of her hair, two of which sank into the undulating curves of her breasts. There was a faint blush on the tip of her straight nose, and her lips were red without any lipstick, making one want to scoop up her fragrance.
He walked forward and picked up Ruan Yun. At the moment when all the palace ladies lowered their heads, Yan Shiyu kissed her pink lips.
