Chapter 135 Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace – Gao Xiyue 35

A banquet was held in the palace, and the Queen Mother carefully trained Yihuan to perform singing and dancing for the Emperor.

Although the emperor was very satisfied with Yihuan's appearance, he was not blinded by her beauty. He knew the queen mother's plan very well. Although Prince Guo was gone, the emperor still felt that the queen mother had other ideas and did not want to follow her wishes.

However, in front of everyone, the emperor really had to give face to the empress dowager, so he followed the empress dowager's instructions and asked for Yihuan's last name.

Yihuan said her surname was Yehenara, and the concubines were shocked. Yehenara was destroyed by Nurhaci, the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Before his death, the leader of Yehenara swore that even if there was only one woman left in the Yehenara clan, Aisin-Gioro would be destroyed.

The emperor wanted to take this opportunity to reject Yihuan, but he did not expect the queen mother to react so quickly. She immediately said, "These are all rumors. The Yehenara clan has already surrendered, and Yihuan's father is also serving beside the emperor."

All the emperor's excuses for refusal were blocked by the empress dowager. In addition, Yihuan was indeed very beautiful, so the emperor was somewhat reluctant to let her go. In the end, he made Yihuan a noble lady as in the plot.

Yihuan recalled the scene when she first met the emperor. She fell in love with him at that time. Now that her wish had come true, Yihuan was very satisfied.

In the cold palace, Doctor Jiang went there at night and found Ruyi and told her the news that her father had drowned. Upon hearing the sad news, Ruyi fainted from excessive grief.

It happened that Ling Yunche was on guard tonight. When he saw the imperial physician coming to see Ruyi, Ling Yunche secretly hid aside out of his unspeakable possessive desire. Only when he heard that the imperial physician Jiang was here to deliver a message to Ruyi did Ling Yunche feel relieved.

But he didn't expect that Ruyi fainted from the shock at once. Worried about Ruyi, Ling Yunche didn't bother to hide and came out from the dark, ignoring the difference between men and women and directly hugged Ruyi.

"Doctor Jiang, please take a look at Master Yi."

Doctor Jiang was shocked by Ling Yunche's actions, but he knew that now was not the time to worry about the relationship between Ruyi and Ling Yunche. Although he was reluctant to help Ruyi with the treatment, when he thought of惢心 outside the palace, he suppressed his disgust and followed Ling Yunche into Ruyi's residence in the cold palace.

At the palace banquet, Xiyue's father Gao Bin found a box of fireworks for Xiyue just like in the plot. Xiyue didn't want to waste Gao Bin's fatherly love, so she asked people to take out the fireworks and set them off. For a while, the sky in the palace was full of fireworks, and everyone was very happy. However, Yihuan said that if people are like fireworks, they will return to loneliness after being lively for a while. It is better to be the stars in the sky, which only have a faint light but are always bright.

Xiyue was very dissatisfied with this and slapped Yihuan in public: "My father's love has been defiled by a hypocritical bitch like you!"

The emperor originally thought that Yihuan's words were very special and he admired them very much. However, he did not expect that Xiyue took action directly before he could even open his mouth to give Yihuan a title.

The emperor looked at Xiyue. Against the backdrop of the fireworks, Xiyue's face exuded charm. The emperor suddenly felt that even though Xiyue was about ten years older than Yihuan, she was still much more beautiful than Yihuan.

At this moment, the emperor looked at Yihuan, who was covering her face with a look of grievance, and suddenly he was no longer amazed.

Everyone saw Xiyue taking action. No one knew what happened, but based on their understanding of Xiyue, everyone felt that it must be Yihuan, the new favorite, who became arrogant and offended Xiyue.

Yihuan, who was slapped by Xiyue, covered the place where she was hit and looked at Xiyue in disbelief. She wanted to explain that she did not mean that, but she felt that Xiyue was arrogant, so she had to look at the emperor with grievance, hoping that the emperor could make the decision for her.

After the queen passed away, there was a vacancy for Xiyue's slapping person, and now Yihuan's name was filled in. The slap just now earned her a lot of gold coins.

During this time, Xiyue had used a lot of gold coins to maintain the loyalty of those people in order to completely control them. Now it was becoming increasingly difficult to slap them in the face. It was a rare opportunity to meet a newcomer with low tolerance, so Xiyue would naturally not let him go.

"An unmarried woman, flattering the emperor in public and reciting love poems that are inappropriate for your status. I really don't know how the Yehenara clan raised such a shameless woman like you."

"My father went through so much trouble to find the salute for me. If I don't like it, I can just not watch it. But in order to show off my uniqueness, I told the emperor that it was not as good as a star idea. How hypocritical!"

"Come here, light up all the remaining fireworks I have. I like this kind of brilliant and passionate fireworks!"

Xiyue's words severely exposed Yihuan's face. Even the emperor felt embarrassed. He had long been accustomed to Xiyue's temper, until he could not afford to offend her. He could not help but feel annoyed with the empress dowager who offered the person and Yihuan who was offered.

Yihuan, who prided herself on being noble and different from others in truly admiring the emperor, felt that everyone's eyes were on her after Xiyue's words. The ridicule and disdain in those eyes made Yihuan, who had a poor psychological quality, feel very uncomfortable. She could not help but look down at where her parents were sitting, but saw that her parents' eyes showed the same disgust as everyone else. She was completely hurt and she was not even happy to stand with her beloved emperor.

After Xiyue finished setting off the fireworks, she didn't bother to care about what everyone present was feeling. She just turned her face sternly and said goodbye to the emperor and left.

After Xiyue left, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall fell into awkwardness. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to react. But deep down, many ministers and wives present secretly agreed with Xiyue and thought that Imperial Noble Consort Hui was right. Although she had a explosive personality, there had never been any bad rumors about her. She had always been fair in her management of palace affairs for so many years and had never been partial or abused her power.

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was not good, and the atmosphere in Ruyi's residence in the cold palace was also very awkward. After Ling Yunche put Ruyi on the bed, he stayed aside and watched Imperial Physician Jiang take her pulse. Imperial Physician Jiang originally just felt that Ling Yunche's presence was a bit awkward, and he was not worried about the results of the pulse diagnosis. In his opinion, Ruyi's symptoms were nothing more than a temporary convulsion caused by excessive emotional fluctuations.

However, when he really felt Ruyi's pulse, Doctor Jiang realized that things were not as he thought.

"Doctor Jiang, what happened to Master Yi?" Seeing that Doctor Jiang had been treating the patient for a long time without saying a word and his expression was becoming increasingly ugly, Ling Yunche could not help but step forward and ask worriedly.

Doctor Jiang put down Ruyi's hand and looked at Ling Yunche with a serious expression: "What is your relationship with Master Yi?"

Ling Yunche didn't know how to answer. He wanted to say that he and Ruyi were lovers, but then he remembered that Ruyi had never acknowledged their relationship. They only comforted each other when they were in love. But if he said that he and Ruyi had nothing to do with each other, then those days and nights of love were real.

Ling Yunche didn’t know whether Doctor Jiang could be trusted. He opened his mouth and then closed it, “Hmm…” Just at this moment, Ruyi woke up.

At this time, the three people in the room did not know that the fireworks that exploded before Xiyue left had already ignited a corner of the cold palace. The news of the fire in the cold palace had already been told to the emperor by the palace servants, and the emperor was already on his way to the cold palace with everyone.
