Chapter 322 Every gain must come with a loss
Facing E Yinzhu's entreaty, the emperor still took into consideration the heir in her belly and said patiently, "Concubine Yu, you are pregnant, I will not force you.
But there are still memorials in the Yangxin Palace, so I will go back first. Duoyan, please take care of your young master and settle her down as soon as possible."
No matter how Eyinzhu tried to persuade him to stay, the emperor finally left Yongshou Palace.
Naturally, the emperor left Yongshou Palace not just because he was disappointed.
Ever since Eyinzhu became pregnant, her arrogance has caused complaints from both the former dynasty and the harem.
The emperor had also heard how proud Eyinzhu was of the baby in her belly.
But the emperor just thought that E Yinzhu was attracted to him and couldn't restrain her love. So no matter how much pressure there was from the outside world, he still gave her the title of concubine.
But today, what Eyinzhu did really made him think more.
Eyinzhu, who used to be obedient and gentle, now doesn't even want to sleep with the emperor, as if she is afraid that the child will be hurt.
It was hard not to make the emperor suspicious of Eyinzhu's expectations for the child.
If you think deeply, Eyinzhu's attitude may also be the attitude of the Khorchin tribe.
Could it be that the Khorchin tribe intends to use the child in Eyinzhu's belly to seek the throne, or even the Qing Dynasty...
The emperor's sedan chair moved slowly along the long street, riding on the slightly dry evening breeze.
However, he did not go to the Yangxin Palace. Instead, he "accidentally" met Concubine Song who was sighing at the moon on the way, and turned around to go to the Jingyang Palace.
After being crowned as a concubine, Eyinzhu's favor was obviously not as great as before.
Everyone in the palace was speculating.
But a single flower blooming is never as good as a hundred flowers blooming.
As the emperor flipped the green cards every night with equal treatment, these complaints and rumors soon dissipated in the sky around the Forbidden City like rain, mist and smoke.
It was midsummer, and although the Yikun Palace was filled with the fragrance of flowers, there were also many mosquitoes to worry about.
Rong Pei and the palace servants fetched some light-colored emerald gauze and carefully covered the window panes in various places in the hall.
The gauze has been smoked with mugwort, making it both translucent and able to repel mosquitoes, which is exactly what Ruyi likes.
She had her hair tied up in a high bun, but she did not wear a heavy hairpin. Instead, she wore a translucent crystal hairpin with a few strands of pearl tassels, which she inserted diagonally on her temples.
Although casual, he did not lose his status, but appeared gentle and friendly.
Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the Emperor is coming to have dinner with Ruyi as usual.
"Your Majesty has a good appetite. It seems that the food sent by the imperial kitchen today is very much to your liking."
Ruyi picked up a piece of fish sashimi with chopsticks and put it into the shallow jade plate in front of the emperor, smiling and sighing.
The emperor has been feeling well recently, and even his spirits have improved a lot. He looks radiant and seems to have returned to his youth.
After hearing Ruyi's words, he laughed out loud and said, "I don't know why, but I always felt lazy before, so I ignored everyone in the harem.
But later I followed the advice of the imperial physician, took some supplements, and used the ginseng sent by Concubine Song to make tea. Now I feel that I have regained a lot of energy. "
The emperor is already this old, but he still wants to gallop around in the harem every day and refuses to admit his old age.
Ruyi's eyes flashed with a subtle brilliance, and she maintained her smile as she toasted the emperor, "Noble Song is very considerate, Your Majesty should reward her well."
Following Ruyi's words, the emperor waved his hand and nodded, "You are right, meritorious service should be rewarded.
Concubine Song has been a concubine for some time, and was promoted to concubine. Since there is no master in Jingyang Palace, she does not need to move to another palace. "
"Congratulations, Sister Song." Ruyi persuaded the emperor to drink again and said casually, "But if this happens, I'm afraid Concubine Yu will cry again."
The emperor frowned in confusion, "Is Concubine Yu being petty again?"
"Sister Yu has always been of noble status and respected by the emperor. Moreover, she is pregnant with the blood of the Qing Dynasty and the Khorchin tribe.
This child has a promising future. It is normal for Sister Yu to be more delicate and willful than others."
Ruyi spoke lightly, but every word she said accurately stepped on the emperor's minefield.
The emperor couldn't help but think of the time when Concubine Song was serving him in the emperor's bedchamber. She had accidentally said that E Yinzhu had a high opinion of herself and even had the ambition to become the empress.
He put the cup heavily on the table, his face sullen, "The Khorchin tribe is capable, but in the end they still have to rely on the Qing Dynasty.
The word respect can only be used by the queen, but how can she, a mere concubine, deserve it?"
Seeing that the emperor's face had begun to turn blue with displeasure, Ruyi stood up and knelt, pretending to be frightened and asking the emperor to calm down.
Naturally, the emperor would not explain to Ruyi the shameful suspicions in his heart.
Looking at Ruyi's cautious appearance, he restrained his expression and raised his hand to signal Ruyi to stand up.
"Well, when did you become so panicked? I know you are virtuous, but Concubine Yu is a concubine and you are the queen.
No matter how respected Concubine Yu is, she is still inferior to you. Her children are also far inferior to our children. "
Ruyi smiled brightly, and the story of the harmony between the emperor and the empress quickly spread from Yikun Palace.
After hearing what the emperor said, E Yinzhu became upset again and made a fuss for a while.
But the emperor no longer had the heart to comfort her, and sent someone to warn her not to hurt the baby in her belly. Only then did E Yinzhu stop talking in embarrassment.
Yongji's wedding was scheduled for a sunny and bright day.
After the marriage, Yongqi was going to move out of the palace and set up his own residence, living outside the palace with his wife.
The emperor valued Yongji, and the wedding ceremony was very grand. Even Hengchu and Jingshu, who had been traveling abroad, rushed back to watch the ceremony.
Perhaps because she has been outside the palace for too long, Jingshu's personality has become more lively.
Seeing that Jingshu had gradually grown into a young girl, the emperor was concerned about his daughter and forbade her to continue running around outside. He demanded that she stay in the palace and be accompanied more often.
Jingshu didn't have much feelings for the emperor, but she missed Ruyi, so she followed the emperor's wishes and moved back to Yikun Palace.
On the night of Yongqi's wedding, many people couldn't sleep.
The emperor and Ruyi lamented the passing of time, as Yongqi has now married and started a family.
Yongsheng was extremely envious.
If his mother had been more capable and made him the first son born after the emperor ascended the throne, perhaps his wedding would have been as grand and solemn.
Yongqi, who was far away at the frontier, sent someone to deliver gifts to the capital and then returned to Tian Yuner's room.
He just took Tian Yun'er as a concubine without any wedding ceremony. Yongqi always felt that he owed Tian Yun'er.
Fortunately, Tian Yuner was considerate and did not show any envy or dissatisfaction in front of Yongqi.
Love and wealth, with one of them, she would be very satisfied.
After turning off the lights, the two of them hugged each other on the bed. The furniture around them was outlined in cold and simple lines by the moonlight outside the window in the darkness.
Yongqi regretted leaving the capital.
He always felt that his life should not be so sloppy and dull, as if something had been taken away from him out of thin air.
But the warm body temperature of the woman in his arms, like a warm flame, filled the void in his heart.
Perhaps, this is the reason why you can't have everything at once, and you have to lose something when you gain something.
