Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 475: Arrange a Residence for Concubine Xian

Ruyi's return to favor caused the entire harem to become a little restless.

Being able to go in and out of the cold palace twice is considered a legend.

However, the high-ranking concubines were able to sit still, and even if others had some calculations in their minds, they did not dare to do anything rash.

Yanwan and Empress Fucha accompanied the Empress Dowager for dinner. Although they didn't talk at the table, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to mention Ruyi while digesting the food after the meal.

"This Ruyi has always had some evil qualities about her, so you two should not be careless."

Empress Fucha smiled and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."

Yan Wan also smiled: "I will take good care of the children. She can do whatever she wants. As long as she doesn't do anything to the children, I will not spoil the emperor's fun."

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them, smiled gently, and stopped talking about Ruyi. Instead, she talked about the children.

After coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, Empress Fucha held Yan Wan's hand and took her directly back to Changchun Palace.

After washing up, they slept on the same bed. Empress Fucha asked in a very low voice: "Do you need the Fucha family to do anything?"

Yan Wan's eyebrows curved. Although the Empress always helped her and it had never changed over the years, every time she was cared for, she still felt sincerely that she was extremely lucky in this life. Even the kinship that was impossible to complete was completed through the Empress.

She leaned close to Empress Fucha and said, "Your Majesty, please don't use the Fucha family for me anymore. The emperor is very suspicious now. If the Fucha family doesn't take good care of Yonglu and Yongyan's imperial study master, the emperor will be unhappy."

Empress Fucha sneered, "He has taken advantage of all the older ones, and even started to take advantage of Yongyan, who is only four years old. How can he not take advantage of Little Sixteen, who is only two years old?!"

Yan Wan said softly, "It's not his fault. There are four princes living in the palace now, and I gave birth to them. It was because I never laid a hand on the children. And you saw with your own eyes how I protected Yong Lu like crazy, so I was able to keep Yong Lu... I'm afraid the emperor can't favor me at all."

Empress Fucha closed her eyes and said, "These years... you have worked hard after all."

The more she got along with Yan Wan, the more she could vaguely feel something.

This kid...

It's as if he knows something is set and is trying desperately to change it.

But human power is limited, and there is really only so much she can do by herself. So if she says or mentions something and someone takes it seriously, there will be a chance to change something.

For example, Concubine Ying’s daughter.

Some people don't know what's going on, and instead think that the suggestions are weird, so they will follow the established path.

For example, Lan, who had a miscarriage a few days ago, agreed.

Yan Wan moved and leaned on her shoulder: "My lady, just take care of yourself, I am not afraid of anything."

Empress Fucha was helpless: "You and Jingjue always say this, which makes me feel as if I am the auspicious sign you raised."

Yan Wan chuckled: "You are the auspicious sign for both of us!"

Empress Fucha stroked her hair and said, "Jingjue has been a little too aggressive in recent years. I have already written to ask her to be more restrained. I also mentioned the wartime situation you mentioned before in a tactful way. I believe she has already made a decision."

Yanwan nodded, but her heart felt heavy.

After all, what women can do in government affairs is still too limited. Jingjue has natural advantages, but this advantage can also become a sharp knife stabbing her at any time because of the emperor's suspicion.

But no matter what, this time, Jing Jing has the power to make her own choices, instead of being sent back and forth as a bargaining chip like in her previous life.

Her solemn mood eased a little; "As long as we are steady and follow the rules, no matter how highly others praise us, we must remember to put the emperor first, and then we will be fine."

Empress Fucha's eyes were gentle: "You are always so clear."

Yan Wan leaned against Empress Fucha contentedly: "Maybe it's because I have gained too much in this life, so there is nothing I am not satisfied with."

What she wants most now is actually the easiest thing to get as long as she is not greedy.

Empress Fucha patted her hands and said, "Go to sleep. From tomorrow on, the harem will be busy. After all, you are the Imperial Concubine, so you will be busy."

Yan Wan nodded, took Empress Fucha's arm, and fell asleep soon after.

Empress Fucha turned her head to look at her, her eyes full of tenderness.

After so many years, I still like to sleep with someone close to me in my arms, otherwise I can't sleep well, just like a little child.

Yan Wan, who was regarded as a child by Empress Fucha, went to see Hongli early the next morning.

In the Yangxin Palace, she was so engrossed in reading a storybook that she didn't even write a letter when Hongli came.

It was only when the book was suddenly snatched away that she cried out in surprise and hurriedly stood up to salute.

Hongli smiled and said, "You are always so cautious."

Although he said this, it was obvious that he really liked Yan Wan's knowledge of propriety.

Yan Wan's eyebrows curved, "How can I be cautious? I just ask other sisters to follow the rules, and I want to set an example myself."

Hongli nodded approvingly: "No wonder you manage the harem so well."

He stretched out his hand and pulled Yan Wan to his side: "Since you are here, let's ask someone to clean up Zhongcui Palace."

Yan Wan was surprised: "Does the emperor intend to appoint another imperial concubine?"

She asked with interest, "Is it Sister Rongfei or Sister Mei?"

Hongli paused, remembering that Su Lujun, who used to live in Zhongcui Palace, was the imperial concubine. He smiled and scratched the tip of Yanwan's nose:

"You never forget to ask for promotions for your sisters."

Yan Wan admitted openly, "After all, Sister Mei treats children very well. She even has three children under her name. She is so busy, but she never slacks off on palace affairs.

Sister Mei is so kind, it's natural for the emperor to love her. As for sister Rongfei..."

Yan Wan chuckled: "Sometimes I envy the emperor's love for her."

Others still need reasons, but Concubine Rong has always refused to have children, but the emperor did not blame her. He just listened to Zhang Yun saying that her physique was not suitable for pregnancy and childbirth. He was afraid in his dreams that Concubine Rong would die of hemorrhage during pregnancy and childbirth, so he forced Concubine Rong to drink the contraceptive soup.

A favored concubine who is destined not to have children will not pose any threat even if she becomes a noble concubine, and neither the court nor the harem will say anything.

Hongli frowned slightly: "Since you also think that Concubine Rong should be promoted, then give her the Zhongcui Palace and promote her to the rank of Imperial Concubine."

Yan Wan said in surprise: "I will tell this good news to sister Rong Fei in person. She must thank me with a cup of cold fragrant tea."

Hongli thought that Rong Fei, who was always aloof, might be very happy about this, and immediately forgot about Ruyi who slept happily last night, and said with a smile:

"It's better for me to tell her this news myself. Don't worry, you will definitely get this cup of fragrant tea. Please help me do something first... arrange a place for Concubine Xian to live."
