Chapter 052 Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Wei Maoyuan opened the door of the Zichen Palace for Meng Guiren, and Meng Guiren went in silently.
Standing under the jade steps, when she looked up, Yan Shiyu was playing with the twisting ring in his hand. Meng Guiren felt a sore nose. When had the emperor ever neglected her like this? He wanted to throw her into the cold palace for an unfounded crime.
Slowly walking up the jade steps, Meng Guiren's eyes became redder with every step he took, until he knelt at Yan Shiyu's feet and his tears fell to the ground with a plop, "Rongrong thought that the emperor would never see Rongrong again."
Yan Shiyu lowered his eyes and looked at Mr. Meng, but did not make any movement and did not say anything.
The woman in front of me was wearing light makeup, and there was an unremovable sadness in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. In the past, she loved to show off her beauty, but today she was no longer the same as before.
Meng Guiren was flustered by Yan Shiyu's eyes. When he saw the twisted ring between Yan Shiyu's fingers, he boldly took the thing with catkins, then spread his palm and placed it on it.
"At that time, the emperor gave Rong Rong a twisted ring, intending to be of the same mind as Rong Rong. It was not good for the concubine to disappoint the emperor, but the concubine had no intention of harming Yu Ronghua."
Meng Guiren spoke with earnestness. He climbed onto Yan Shiyu's knees and placed his face on his legs. "Does the emperor still blame Rongrong?"
Twisting the ring meant that the two of them were of the same mind and shouldn't have given it to Meng Guiren, but at that time he did whatever he wanted and ignored it and gave it to Meng Guiren. But now, seeing her sobbing and crying in front of him, Yan Shiyu frowned for a moment unconsciously. Meng Guiren was like this before, but he had never felt like this before. Until today, he felt a little bored for no reason.
Yan Shiyu stretched out his hand to pick her up. He took her hand and asked her to hold the twisting ring in her hand. "I gave it to you, and there is absolutely no reason to take it back."
Meng Guiren immediately smiled and quickly put his face on the back of his hand, "Your Majesty, can you give Rongrong a child? Rongrong really wants a child with your Majesty."
Yan Shiyu just silently pulled Meng Guiren up and said indifferently: "It will happen."
Meng Guiren was so excited that he almost cried. The fragrance of Yan Shiyu's neck on the bracelet softened in his arms.
…
Fengyi Palace.
The news of Meng Guiren's comeback caught everyone off guard. Ruan Jun had a calm expression and no emotion could be seen. She subconsciously looked at Ji Cairen, and saw her face gradually turning pale and her chest rising and falling. She soon placed her hand on her belly, frowned, and kept stroking her as if to comfort her.
When Ji Cairen first became pregnant, Meng Guiren was thinking of taking action against her. Now Meng Guiren is about to come back even though his house arrest is not over. It is really hard to understand.
The Queen smiled and said, "Summer is coming soon. There must be some life in the palace."
Defei pursed her lips and curled up a faint smile, casting her eyes on Shen Chongyi. Shen Chongyi's face was also particularly bad. In the past, Shen Chongyi had a good relationship with Meng Guiren, but during the months that Meng Guiren was under house arrest, Shen Chongyi seemed to have done nothing. If Meng Guiren was really released from house arrest, there would be a big show to watch.
The Queen continued, "I think there has been no lively event in the palace for a long time, and the little princess is also going to have a birthday. The Emperor and I are thinking of holding a lively party in the Moon-Picking Pavilion. Shen Chongyi, what do you think?"
Shen Chongyi was obviously a little stunned when asked, but since the little princess could celebrate her birthday alone again, and in the Zhaiyue Pavilion, she was naturally happy that the little princess was valued. She raised a smile and said, "I would like to thank the Emperor and the Empress on behalf of the little princess."
The Queen smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this and said, "It just so happens that the actors in the palace have just rehearsed a new play. I thought it would be better if everyone in the Moon-Picking Pavilion could perform under the little princess's tutelage that day. This way, all the sisters can relax a little."
Shen Chongyi stood up quickly and said, "The little princess is still young, and it is a blessing for her to be loved by the queen. There is no such thing as taking advantage of her. It is clearly the little princess who has benefited from the help of her sisters."
Concubine De said, "The little princess is very smart, I am too modest."
It was no surprise that Concubine De was in charge of this matter. Ruan Jun was in a bad mood all morning. The return of Noble Meng was not a good thing for her, but it was not a bad thing either. However, it was not so good for Concubine Ji.
After all, there are less than three months left before Ji Cairen's birth. If the emperor lets Meng Guiren come out at this time, wouldn't it be too conspicuous?
The most important thing to her now is Du Cairen.
Ever since she was demoted, Ruan Jun always knew what she had cursed her for. These days, she would not go to Yin Lanxuan unless necessary, for she was really afraid that if anything happened to Du Cairen, she would be blamed.
Ruan Jun got on the ceremonial procession, thinking about Du Cairen's matter without any expression.
Tingxu asked her, "My lady? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Ruan Yun shook her head and said, "Not really, I just feel a little uneasy in my heart, as if something is going to happen."
Tingxu couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister Yingning has already prepared some cakes in the palace. They are the young lady's favorite sour plums. We can have them when we get back."
When they arrived at Ruiyu Pavilion, Ruan Yun couldn't help but say, "Without the Emperor coming, I feel more energetic. Do you think I got up better this morning than before?"
Ying Ning felt helpless after listening to this and wanted to stop the young lady, but she had already said it and it was too late.
When Yan Shiyu came in, he was covered in cold air. Ruan Jun forgot about the cake in her hand and dropped it on the ground. She couldn't help but scold Chunqing, "You didn't even inform us when the emperor came!"
Chunqing was in great pain. The emperor had just come and told him not to let anyone know, but who would have thought that the young lady would say these things in the bedroom. If he had known this earlier, he would have let the young lady know even at the risk of losing his head.
Yan Shiyu's forehead twitched violently, his face ashen as a pot of ash as he sat on the low couch where she had just sat, and said in a cold voice: "I see that you don't take me seriously at all."
Wei Maoyuan led a group of palace servants downstairs. Yingning and Tingxu felt a little worried when they saw the emperor and the young lady, but Wei Maoyuan still dragged them downstairs.
Ruan Yun just sat across from Yan Shiyu, "I was just talking in my own palace, but the emperor heard it and blamed me."
Yan Shiyu glanced at her, picked up the cake she was about to eat, and said, "You are blaming me now."
Ruan Yun leaned into Yan Shiyu's arms, her slender waist trembling, "I dare not."
Then she lifted up Yan Shiyu's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please try this cake. It is my favorite."
Before Yan Shiyu used it, he smelled a strong smell of sour dates. He frowned slightly and put it back.
Ruan Yun saw the emperor's expression and knew that she had forgotten. The emperor hated these sour and sweet foods the most. However, she put the teacup in Yan Shiyu's hand without any guilt and said, "How come the emperor has time to come to my place today?"
As if casually speaking, "Today, when I came to pay my respects to the Empress, she said that the Emperor had released Concubine Meng from her house arrest. I thought that the Emperor had not seen Concubine Meng for a long time, so he was probably going to Concubine Meng's palace."
Yan Shiyu twisted a strand of hair on her shoulders with a half-smile and said, "Is my beautiful lady jealous?"
Ruan Yun's ears turned red when the teasing words reached her ears. She said, "Your Majesty is always teasing me. So Your Majesty must stay tonight."
Yan Shiyu turned her face towards him, his dark eyes fixed on her face, not missing any expression on Ruan Yun's face, and said in a calm voice: "I want to ask you, have you and Young Master Yu known each other before?"
Ruan Yun's heart shuddered. The emperor was indeed suspicious. But it was good that he asked this question. After all, the emperor wanted to hear her explanation.
With her eyes slightly red, Ruan Yun twisted her body to withdraw from Yan Shiyu's arms, "How could I know the young master? It's probably because the young master recognized the wrong person. I knew that the emperor must have come here to question me today. Why didn't the emperor blame the young master but blame me instead?"
Yan Shiyu pinched Ruan Jun's little face, his eyebrows twitching. Who else would get into trouble like her without any explanation and wait for him to ask, and even learned to turn the tables?
He had already read the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Ruan Yun was indeed from Qingzhou. He did not ask about the reputation of the young prince because he did not want the matter to be spread and damage Ruan Yun's reputation. If someone with ulterior motives heard it, he was afraid that they would exaggerate it.
Ruan Yun's eyelashes trembled, and a bright teardrop stained her crow-feather-like eyelashes. Her red lips curled slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice. "If the emperor does not believe me, just give me a white silk, and I will die to prove my innocence."
Yan Shiyu scolded her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? You keep talking about death all day long, aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"
Ruan Yun looked up at the emperor's expression, then found a comfortable position and nestled into the emperor's arms, "There is only the emperor in my heart. My heart is too small to accommodate others."
My heart is too small to accommodate others.
Yan Shiyu was suddenly dazed when he heard her words. The strange feeling in his heart surged up again. Just because of this sentence, the stone that had been pressing on his heart since yesterday was silently shattered.
The big hand on her waist tightened slightly, and her larynx slid up and down unconsciously.
Ruan Jun's kiss fell on his larynx, and Yan Shiyu's face darkened instantly. This was not a place she could touch casually!
Ruan Jun seemed to be unaware of this. She no longer had the aggrieved and pitiful look on her face. She looked at Yan Shiyu with cunning eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you are here with me, so you are not allowed to think about others."
He wanted to pull Ruan Jun down, but she hugged him very tightly. Yan Shiyu looked at her with deep dark eyes. Ruan Jun realized something was wrong and wanted to move away quickly, but it was too late. Yan Shiyu held her waist tightly so that she could not move.
Turning over and pressing her directly onto the beauty couch, Yan Shiyu looked at the slightly opened window, a bit of evil in his eyes, and said, "Turn around and support yourself with your hands."
Clearly before they started doing anything, Ruan Jun was already crying like a tearful person, pushing Yan Shiyu away with her hands very weakly, "Don't..."
All the words were swallowed in her stomach and she could not speak anymore. Her fingertips hooked the water stains on Yan Shiyu and threw her belt and small clothes on the ground. They were intertwined in one place. Wei Maoyuan looked at the palace maids of Yinlanxuan in front of him. He wanted to let them go back, but when he thought that the one of Yinlanxuan was now pregnant with a dragon descendant, he couldn't do it. His voice was trembling, and he knelt behind the screen and said:
"Your Majesty, Lady Du said that the baby in her belly is feeling unwell, and she would like Your Majesty to come and take a look."
