Chapter 306 Ruyi (6)
Chapter 306 Ruyi (6)
Wei Yanwan’s character in the novel is very beautiful, even more beautiful than Jin Yuyan, the most beautiful woman in the harem in the original drama.
So even though she was kneeling on the ground, facing the earth, Emperor Gaozong of Qing was attracted by the white and smooth skin on her neck that was as white as fine porcelain.
"Keep your head up."
A majestic voice came from above her head. Wei Yanwan slowly raised her head. She was afraid of offending the emperor by looking directly at him. Her eyebrows were still lowered and she didn't dare to look directly at the man in the sedan chair.
"Why haven't I seen you in Changchun Palace before? Are you new here?"
Wei Yanwan responded respectfully: "In reply to the emperor, Bi came to Changchun Palace a few days ago."
Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty looked at Wei Yanwan's face carefully and asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Wei Yanwan."
Emperor Gaozong of Qing frowned slightly, "Your last name is Wei?"
Wei Yanwan lowered her head even more, "That's right, I was born in the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner."
Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty took a breath and said that he felt a sense of familiarity with the little girl in front of him. It turned out that this was his Concubine Ling!
Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty slumped in the sedan chair and looked down at Wei Yanwan who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Stand up and answer."
Wei Yanwan prostrated herself on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Gaozong of Qing, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Wei Yanwan stood up and stood respectfully, waiting for the person above her to ask her questions. She only heard the other person ask, "Is your family okay now?"
Wei Yanwan was slightly stunned. She didn't understand why the emperor asked her this, but she quickly realized that now was not the time to worry about these things, so she put on a trace of sadness on her face, "In reply to the emperor, my father passed away a few years ago. Now there is only my mother and a disappointing brother at home."
Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He knew that the world now was completely different from the world he used to live in, but he did not expect that Concubine Ling's life in his world would be so miserable.
Although his true love was Empress Fucha, it did not mean that he did not love Concubine Ling.
He truly loved both women. There was no more or less, only first or later.
Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty withdrew his gaze from Wei Yanwan's face. The girl was still too young. He did not have the bad habit of liking little girls. He only liked mature women who were gentle, virtuous, tolerant, submissive and understanding.
However, before leaving, Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty still encouraged him: "You are you, and your brother is your brother. His failure to live up to expectations does not mean that you cannot bring honor to the family in the future."
Wei Yanwan raised her head in surprise, and regardless of etiquette, she looked straight at Emperor Gaozong of Qing, "Your Majesty, is it okay for me to be a concubine?"
Emperor Gaozong of Qing nodded: "Of course you can."
Wasn't it the same in his life? Because of his favor, the entire Wei family was promoted from the Zhenghuang Banner to the Xianghuang Banner and became the Wei Jia clan.
The entire glory of the Wei family was brought by Concubine Ling.
After Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty finished speaking, he stopped looking at Wei Yanwan and told the people around him, "Let's go."
Following the eunuchs' singing, the palace servants surrounded Emperor Gaozong of Qing and carried his sedan chair into Changchun Palace.
Wei Yanwan stood there, looking towards the palace gate, so excited that she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
She actually spoke to the Emperor!
I had heard about this emperor's deeds a long time ago. He had both ruthless methods and a kind heart. Seeing him today, I realized that it was indeed true.
A dignified emperor actually stopped his sedan chair and personally encouraged a little palace maid!
How could she not be excited!
This is such a great honor!
Wei Yanwan was so excited that she almost jumped up while holding the broom beside her. She still finds it unbelievable.
At this moment, Wei Yanwan was very glad that she had spent money to have her transferred from the Sizhiku to Changchun Palace.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and the better it seemed. When Wei Yanwan thought about the emperor talking to her, she felt as if the sun above her head wasn't so hot anymore, and she had the energy to sweep the floor. She quickly finished the work at hand and went to the Sizhiku to find her good sister.
Chunchan said excitedly: "Are you telling the truth? Did the emperor really tell you that?"
Wei Yanwan's eyes sparkled, and she nodded happily, "Yes, I used to think that the emperor was mighty and overbearing, but I didn't expect him to be such a good person."
"Really? I also think that the emperor is a very good person." Wei Yanwan held Chunchan's hand and said excitedly: "I used to think that Ling Yunche was the only good man in this palace. I didn't expect that after entering Changchun Palace, I realized that there are more than one good man in the world."
(Sorry, the author didn't write this to disgust you on purpose, some fan fiction really does write this way.)
Chunchan joked, "If there's more than just him, then who else is there?"
Wei Yanwan glared at Chunchan unhappily, "And there's the Emperor!"
"Just the emperor?" Chunchan teased, "There is no one else."
Wei Yanwan covered her face with her hands and blushed, "Oh, you're so annoying. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll ignore you!"
Chunchan laughed, "I guessed it right, didn't I? Ah? I heard that Empress Fucha's brother is very handsome, you wouldn't fall in love with him, would you?"
When Wei Yanwan heard this, her face turned even redder, and she pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you always talking nonsense? I have nothing to do with her, it's not like what you said!"
Chunchan laughed, "Okay, okay, no more jokes. But Yanwan, you finally got into Changchun Palace, so you must seize this opportunity and work hard to get the Queen's attention and promote you to be her chief maid. It would be best if you marry a royal guard, such as the Queen's brother, who is a royal guard."
Wei Yanwan listened very seriously at first and thought what Chunchan said made sense, so she nodded repeatedly. But when she heard the last sentence, she was so ashamed that she stretched out her hands and said she wanted to tear Chunchan's mouth.
Chunchan dodged the other's hand with a smile, and the two laughed and joked for a while before returning to the palace.
When Wei Yanwan returned to Changchun Palace, she saw a group of palace maids entering one after another carrying things.
Curious, she pulled the maid next to her and asked, "Sister Lianxin, what are those?"
Lian Xin and You Rongyan said: "Those were brought back from Mulan Paddock by the Emperor as a reward to the Empress."
Wei Yanwan looked at the pile of rewards, took a deep breath without leaving a trace, then looked away and stood there obediently.
On this day, Lu Changqing was eating the roast chicken secretly sent by the little angel Hai Lan with Suo Xin, and tears filled his eyes.
The two were enjoying their meal with the door closed and expressing their sincere gratitude to Hai Lan when they heard a noise outside the yard.
"Quick, quick, quick! Put it away! Don't let anyone see it!"
Since Hai Lan was in cahoots with Ruyi, her life in the palace was already difficult. If Jin Yuyan and Concubine Gao knew that she was secretly helping them, they would definitely make trouble for her again.
Lu Changqing and Suo Xin hurriedly wrapped the remaining few pieces of chicken in oil paper and hid them. They also put the broken bones on the table in a bowl, preparing to take them to the flower bed in the yard and bury them in a hole when they had time.
Seeing that Lu Changqing's mouth was covered in oil, Suo Xin reminded him, "Master, wipe your mouth."
Lu Changqing took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, then he exhaled, smelling of roast chicken.
"惢心, please stay in the room first. I'll go out and see who it is."
After Lu Changqing finished explaining, she straightened her hair and prepared to go out to see who was so tactless as to disturb her while she was eating.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Changqing saw Ling Yunche leaning against the gate with a knife in his hand and his head tilted back at a 45-degree angle, his face looking broken and lonely.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ling Yunche turned his head and looked at Lu Changqing with a hurt face, as if his eyes were saying to her "I'm so sad, come and comfort me quickly."
Lu Changqing cursed, "You're crazy!" and without thinking, he slammed the door shut, trying to avoid seeing it.
