Chapter 093 Chapter 93
【Chapter 93】
Ruan Yun heard what Jipin said and knew that she was a person with her own ideas, so she said, "Although the little princess is young, she is very clever and knows a lot. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me."
Jipin showed a smile on her face, "I know."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yicui came over in a hurry and said anxiously, "My lady, the little princess is crying non-stop. Please go and take a look."
Concubine Ji didn't have time to talk to Ruan Yun anymore and hurried to the inner hall, "Where's the wet nurse?"
Yicui replied, "The wet nurse couldn't coax the little princess. She had no other choice but to ask me to come and ask the young lady to come."
Ruan Yun walked towards the inner hall at a leisurely pace, looking outside the gate of Xihua Palace from time to time. Ting Xu was puzzled and looked in the direction where the queen was looking, "Outside the palace gate, there is nothing?"
She was a little worried at first, but after hearing Xu's words, she laughed for no reason, "Silly girl, I want to see it because there is nothing."
Ting Xu was puzzled but did not annoy the empress. He just supported the empress in small steps and walked forward.
Just as Ruan Yun was hesitating to enter the inner hall, the sound of a messenger came from outside.
Ruan Jun patted the back of Tingxu's hand and whispered, "The person you've been waiting for is here."
After saying this, she turned around slowly while holding up the hem of her skirt. When she was under the corridor, she saw a shadow coming towards her. The dark black robe was intertwined with the green gauze skirt that Ruan Yun was wearing.
Yan Shiyu held his palm in front of Ruan Yun and said, "Wait for me?"
Ruan Jun nodded slightly, "Yes, the emperor didn't come for a while, and I thought I couldn't wait for him."
What he said was very unlucky. Yan Shiyu glanced at her. Ruan Yun's eyes drooped and she leaned into the emperor's arms uncomfortably.
Yan Shiyu didn't ask any more questions, but looked towards the inner hall with a frown. Ruan Yun said, "Your Majesty, please go in and take a look. The little princess has just come to Sister Ji's place, so she must not be able to adapt. If Your Majesty comes more often, the little princess and Sister Ji will get familiar with each other, and then everything will be fine."
His eyes fell on Ruan Jun. What Ruan Jun said was very sincere, which was different from her previous hypocritical appearance and was particularly glaring.
Yan Shiyu said calmly: "You go in too."
Ruan Yun twisted her body and left the emperor's arms, her tone much more desolate than before, "The little princess is already crying, and she may not be happy to see me. She may even think of sad things. Your Majesty, please go in."
After she said this, the only sound outside the palace was the sound of wind blowing fallen leaves. It was extremely quiet, with occasional cries of the little princess and the gentle coaxing voice of Concubine Ji.
Seeing that the emperor had not moved for a long time, Ruan Yun was about to say something when Yan Shiyu's fingertips touched her cheek and said, "Wait for me."
Wei Maoyuan, who was waiting on the side, had already understood the meaning of the emperor's words. He quietly withdrew and ordered someone to go to the bedroom to tell him that there was no need to send a sign over tonight.
Inner Temple
The little princess cried and lay in the arms of her nurse. She looked at Concubine Ji standing in front of her and cried, "I don't want you, I want my mother. You are not my mother."
Concubine Ji was not annoyed when she heard this. She took the cup from Yi Cui and placed it in front of the little princess, saying, "Xin'er, would you like some tea?"
However, the little princess pushed Ji's hand away, and the not-so-hot tea instantly splashed on the back of Ji's hand and soaked her clothes.
The palace maids around all let out small cries of surprise and wanted to go forward with handkerchiefs to wipe the water stains off the empress's dress.
Concubine Ji raised her hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to come over, and continued to speak softly to the little princess: "Xin'er, is there anything you like to do? Xin'er wants A Niang because A Niang can accompany Xin'er to do these things, but I can also do it."
The little princess thought about it carefully and asked in a tender voice, "Xin'er, will I be able to see my mother again in the future?"
Concubine Ji touched the little princess's face and felt a hot patch on it. She took out her handkerchief to help the little princess dry her face. "If Xin'er drinks water and has a good rest, Mother Ji will take Xin'er to see Shen Chongyi tomorrow, okay?"
Facing the puzzled look of the little princess, Concubine Ji said gently: "If you don't want to call me mother directly, you can call me Mother Ji, or just call me Concubine Ji. That's fine too."
The little princess thought about it carefully, a knot in her face, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Concubine Ji was not in a hurry either. She just held the little princess, patted her back patiently, and waited for the little princess's answer.
Soon, the little princess timidly said, "Xin'er wants to drink water."
Concubine Ji raised her eyes and motioned Yicui to come over.
Today had been a busy day and it was already time for dinner. The little princess was exhausted and drowsy.
With a smile on her lips, Concubine Ji saw the innocent face of the little princess and refused the wet nurse's wish to take the little princess away. Her soft voice echoed in the inner hall, singing a low ballad for the little princess.
The little princess slept much more soundly, but she was still sobbing in her sleep.
Concubine Ji was not impatient at all. She waited until the little princess fell into a deep sleep before handing her over to the wet nurse, saying, "If there is anything wrong with the little princess, just come and find me."
The wet nurse agreed to Concubine Ji's words, and the palace maid came forward to untie the belt around Concubine Ji's waist. The moon-colored skirt fell on the carpet, and Concubine Ji allowed the palace maid to help her change into a green pleated skirt.
Yicui saw that the young lady had changed her clothes, so she hurried over and said, "Young lady, the emperor has been waiting in the outer hall for a long time."
In the bronze mirror, there was not a trace of ripple in Jipin's beautiful eyes. She just nodded and said, "I understand."
When the maid heard this, she whispered to Concubine Ji, "Your Highness, would you like to change into a crimson purple dress? It will definitely look good on you."
Jipin swayed in front of the bronze mirror and said, "No need, this one is very good."
The master has said so, and the servants below will not have any other thoughts.
Concubine Ji walked out slowly and saw the emperor sitting in an armchair, deep in thought. She tapped the cup with her fingertips and then withdrew them calmly.
"May the Emperor be well and safe."
After paying her respects, Concubine Ji glanced into the inner hall and said with a gentle smile, "Your Majesty, it's an unfortunate coincidence that you came. The little princess just went to bed."
Yan Shiyu handed his hand to Jipin, who put it on it naturally.
"I feel at ease that you are raising the little princess."
Jipin wanted to stand up from the emperor's side again, but Yan Shiyu held her shoulders and said, "You have served me for a long time, and now the little princess is under your care. It's time for you to be promoted."
The palace maids in Xihua Palace couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the emperor's words. Seeing the joy in each other's eyes, they were extremely happy.
Concubine Ji said calmly, "I once lost a child due to my own negligence, so I love children very much. The little princess is the only princess of the emperor, and I will definitely raise her with all my heart."
Yan Shiyu's eyes were gloomy. Jipin's words did not make him any more happy.
Concubine Ji said gently, "The little princess is not feeling well tonight. I don't know how noisy she will be. The emperor still has to deal with state affairs tomorrow. Besides, Sister Ying is still waiting for the emperor. She has been staying here with me all the time. I am sorry that the emperor has been troubled."
Yan Shiyu said calmly, "I will come to see you tomorrow."
Jipin bowed and said, "Yes."
After the emperor left, all the palace maids in Xihua Palace came to congratulate Jipin. Jipin asked Yicui to give the silver to her, but there was no joy in her eyes or eyebrows.
Yicui distributed all the silver, helped the empress sit down, and said happily: "Now that the young lady is raising the little princess, the position given by the emperor will definitely not be low."
Concubine Ji took off her earrings. The emperor never hesitated to give positions to the concubines who raised the royal heirs. If her child had been born, she wondered what it would have been like.
"You can just say this in front of me, but don't let anyone else hear it."
Yicui was charming and coquettish, with a look of joy in her eyes that could not be concealed, "Don't worry, my lady, I won't do that."
Concubine Ji changed into casual clothes and took a look behind the screen. She could vaguely see the little princess sleeping soundly behind the brocade screen.
"Serve dinner, and remember to ask the kitchen to get two more plates of cakes. The little princess will wake up soon, so she can have some."
Yicui nodded and immediately took another palace maid to the kitchen.

Linxuan Palace
Ruan Yun was led by the emperor and sat down naturally.
The little hand boldly touched the emperor's forehead. Yan Shiyu's face turned pale and he took her hand away, "It's unruly!"
How could she touch the dragon's head? It was too arbitrary.
Ruan Yun was not afraid of what the emperor would say, and just said softly: "If the emperor is sad, you might as well tell me."
It was a glorious moment to be on the throne of an emperor, but few people could see that he had gradually gotten used to this feeling and no longer had anything else to say.
Ruan Yun shook the emperor's sleeve and whispered, "The emperor was also looking forward to Shen Chongyi's baby, but fate is so cruel. Although the emperor didn't show it on his face, the emotions in his eyes could not be suppressed."
Yan Shiyu looked towards Ruan Jun and sneered, "You dare to say anything."
Ruan Yun heard the emperor's familiar words and moved herself into the emperor's arms, "Your Majesty, just tell me whether what I said is right or wrong."
Yan Shiyu didn't say anything and hugged Ruan Yun tighter.
"I am somewhat regretful."
He had few children, so he naturally had high hopes for the dragon offspring in Shen Chongyi's belly.
But when he learned that Shen Chongyi was pregnant, the first person he thought of was Ruan Yun.
In the middle of January, he stayed in Ruan Yun's palace for half a month, but there was no movement from her.
From his indifferent attitude towards the royal heir to his current obsession with wanting to have a connection with Ruan Yun.
Somehow, facing Ruan Jun, even though he was the supreme emperor, he still felt that he couldn't control her.
"Xiaoxiao, give me a child, a child... who looks like you."
These words came out of his thin lips, and before Ruan Jun could react, she was dragged into the vortex by the emperor.

Shoukang Palace
Concubine Xian smiled widely and ordered someone to carry the second prince away.
Seeing the Second Prince's strong arms and legs, the Queen Mother felt less tired.
"Seeing that the Second Prince is doing well, I feel relieved."
Concubine Xian smiled and covered her handkerchief, saying, "The Second Prince is now crawling around everywhere and is even more noisy. If the Queen Mother likes it, I will have someone bring the Second Prince here every day."
The Queen Mother raised her hand to stop Concubine Xian from speaking, and said helplessly: "Just serve the Emperor well, why do you come here every day?"
The smile on Concubine Xian's face froze in an instant, and she looked aggrieved, "Aunt, you don't know, the emperor hasn't entered the harem for many days, and when he flipped over the name card, it was Ying Chongrong's."
"Who else can compare to Ying Chongrong?"
