Chapter 162 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 14
Cold palace.

Ruyi lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling.

Feeling the warmth brought by the thick quilt on her body, Ruyi pouted.

Recently, her treatment in the cold palace has suddenly improved. She has a thick quilt, cotton clothes, and the food is much better.

She was not a stupid person, so she naturally guessed that the emperor was planning to let her go.

She had some guesses when she heard Ling Yunche say that Concubine Jia was under house arrest and the maids around her were sent to the Ministry of Punishment.

The incident with Concubine Mei's child must have been caused by Concubine Jia.

However, what puzzled her was that since the emperor knew that the murderer was Jiapin, why did he only punish her maid and simply put Jiapin under house arrest?

This matter left her extremely puzzled.

Originally, Ruyi thought that she would be able to leave the cold palace soon, but several months passed and she still couldn't leave the cold palace.

Moreover, the food delivered has recently returned to its previous level. In very cold weather, the food delivered is sometimes cold.

What made Ruyi even more devastated was that Hailan needed someone to take care of her, including eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

The Queen threw Hailan into the cold palace, naturally to torture her, so Hailan would not have any food, so no matter what it was, she would now give a portion to Hailan.

She and惢心 were already living a difficult life and were stretched to the limit financially. If it weren't for Ling Yunche's kindness, she and惢心 would have died.

But with Hailan around, and with her being so badly injured, their lives suddenly became difficult.

Hailan was given a mute drug and could not speak a word. She could not do anything the whole day but cry.

惢心 is just a little palace maid with little strength. Sometimes she can’t take care of Hai Lan at all, and finally needs Ruyi’s help.

A person with all his limbs broken made Ruyi realize how powerless and painful it was for the people who served her, and she almost collapsed.

Sometimes she even thought that it would be fine if Hailan just died like this, but when she realized this idea, her heart skipped a beat. She was frightened by her own thoughts. Why did she have such a horrible thought? That was Hailan, the Hailan she regarded as her own sister.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. Ruyi counted the days and it was the Double Ninth Festival again.

Ruyi had an idea in her mind.

-----------

The ninth day of the ninth month is the Double Ninth Festival, which also coincides with the Emperor's birthday, so the Double Ninth Festival this year was particularly lively.

Ling Xi has been pregnant for seven months, and Qi Ru diagnosed her with twins when she was five months pregnant, so her belly was particularly big.

Because he had lost his legitimate son before, the emperor attached great importance to Ling Xi's pregnancy. When he learned that it was twins, he was overjoyed and afraid that something might happen.

On the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor was afraid that something might happen to her, so he specifically reported to the empress dowager and told Ling Xi not to go to the banquet in Taihua Palace and to put her health first.

Ling Xi was naturally happy to be able to take a break, and she also didn't want to attract attention by going to that banquet.

Ever since she became pregnant, especially after the news of twins spread, the way every concubine looked at her changed.

Not only that, but the frequency of harming her has also increased.

From time to time, some things that shouldn’t be there would appear in Yongshou Palace. Later, Ling Xi tried not to leave Yongshou Palace, so they had no way to cause trouble.

However, even though he couldn’t go to the scene, Ling Xi could still watch the live broadcast on the big screen in the space.

Ling Xi knew that during the Double Ninth Festival, the Queen Mother would send another beauty to the Emperor, Yehenara Yihuan.

This is also a beautiful lady with an artistic style. However, Ling Xi was very confused. For some reason, this beautiful lady was blind and actually fell in love with the dog emperor.

Ling Xi couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. Although the dog emperor's face did look okay, his temper was not so good.

After finishing his meal, Ling Xi’s consciousness ran into the space, and he focused on watching the “live broadcast” from Taihua Palace.

This nighttime banquet was extremely lively.

The emperor loved lively occasions by nature and was quite satisfied with the banquet. He tasted flower cakes and drank chrysanthemum wine with everyone present and was extremely happy.

Then Ling Xi watched a verbal exchange between the Queen Mother and the Queen, which was truly exciting.

The Queen Mother smiled kindly, "How could I not like the Queen's open and aboveboard display of filial piety? We are the royal mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, unlike those small families who try to sneakily guess the Queen's feelings and cause unrest in the family."

The emperor smiled and toasted the empress dowager, changing the subject.

After three rounds of drinks, the singing and dancing at the banquet also slowed down.

The cool breeze of the quiet night blew against my body, adding a bit of tranquility and coolness, swaying the yellow flowers on the ground, making them bloom brilliantly, but also making me feel a bit thin and haggard.

The emperor was a little intoxicated and looked at the dark sky like ink-jade. A dim crescent moon was lonely on the black curtain and even the stars were dim.

The emperor smiled a faint and weary smile and said, "It's really boring to just sing and dance every year."

Seeing this on the screen, Ling Xi was startled.

Here she comes, here she comes, the beauty is here.

The next moment, Ling Xi saw the Queen Mother's actions.

The empress dowager smiled indifferently and clapped her hands twice. The sound of stringed instruments began to rise, like weeping and complaining, slowly seeping into the heart.

Ling Xi saw a slender and graceful figure of a woman rising leisurely among the chrysanthemums of various colors on the ground, walking slowly towards them with the sound of stringed instruments.

That is Yehenara Yihuan.

The light yellow dress was as elegant as the clouds and the bright moon. The plain clothes were embroidered with only autumn chrysanthemums, which made her look very simple and elegant. The wind blew up the ribbons on her clothes, which fluttered and shone brightly.

Her voice was soft and gentle, standing in the quiet moonlight, leaning sideways and chanting:
"Thin fog and thick clouds make the day long and sad, fragrant agarwood dissolves the golden beast. It is the Double Ninth Festival again, the jade pillow and gauze cabinet are cold in the middle of the night. After dusk, I drink wine in the east fence, and there is a faint fragrance filling my sleeves. Don't say I am not heartbroken, the curtains are rolled up by the west wind, and I am thinner than the yellow flowers!"

When the last word "thin" was pronounced, the lingering sound flew away, quiet and lingering.

When Ling Xi saw Yehenala Yihuan's face, his eyes lit up.

Her expression is cold, but she has a charming demeanor and brilliant features, especially the way she looks at the Dog Emperor, her eyes are moving and she looks around shyly.

Not only men, but even women will be attracted to it.

The Dog Emperor is so blessed.

Sure enough, after seeing Yi Huan, the emperor's eyes lit up surprisingly, and he couldn't help but applaud and laughed, "I thought the graceful singing and dancing were already excellent, but I didn't expect that the graceful steps and the poetry were even more refreshing and meaningful. I just don't know what you look like with such a good talent and such a beautiful dance. Have you ever met me in my dreams? The singing and dancing tonight are very good, why are you only reciting poetry?"

Yi Huan took delicate steps forward and bowed: "I do not like overly lively singing and dancing. I think the ancients' poetry is profound and must be savored carefully to appreciate its meaning. I have heard that Your Majesty has the literary mind of His Majesty and is good at chanting. I think you will find a soulmate."

The subsequent development was naturally consistent with the original plot. The emperor asked Yihuan's name, and the two expressed their feelings to each other and were full of affection.

Because Yihuan made the emperor happy, he named her Shu Guiren and granted her the right to live in Chuxiu Palace.

Ling Xi wanted to roll his eyes at this title.

The emperor is so uncultured that he chooses a title so casually.
