Chapter 150: Old Workhorse Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (9)

This feeling was not Ruyi's illusion, but real. As for why everyone laughed at Ruyi, the story began before the banquet.

Only a few concubines in the palace were invited to Ruyi's birthday banquet. Even the prince's wife who was close to her were not invited. But A Ruo, the maid beside Ruyi, was impetuous. She shouted early in the morning that the emperor should also hold a birthday banquet for Ruyi.

The Empress Dowager didn't like Ruyi in the first place, so she naturally didn't care about this matter and had no intention of getting involved in it. However, Ruyi had a problem with her brain and went to invite the Empress Dowager with her palace maids.

Ruyi originally thought that since the Empress Dowager gave her the name, the two of them had reconciled and all their grudges had disappeared, but the Empress Dowager has always been the best at slapping Ruyi in the face.

"You are just a concubine, but you are so presumptuous. It is obvious that you don't take the queen seriously at all." The queen mother has been very satisfied with the queen's understanding recently and likes her quite a bit.

"When the Empress Dowager was still the concubine of the previous emperor, didn't she also hold a grand birthday banquet? At that time, Prince Guo Yunli even brought warm water to irrigate the lotus flowers, making them bloom in April..."

“How insolent!” Upon hearing Ruyi mention Yunli, the Queen Mother immediately exploded: “As a concubine, you are overstepping your bounds and have no sense of duty. You are truly immoral. Is this how you, the Ulanara clan, are brought up?”

This news spread quickly, and the reputation of the Ulanara family was ruined. All the unmarried men and women in the Ulanara family began to resent Ruyi, and Ruyi was punished to copy the "Female Virtues" a hundred times.

So much so that when Ruyi came to the dinner, her hands were shaking. When Yonglian saw this, he secretly warned Jinse that in the future she must train a few palace maids with handwriting like her own, so that she wouldn't have to copy by herself when she was punished.

The three of them laughed and made a scene. Ruyi toasted the emperor with trembling hands: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

"It's okay. This was all the Queen's idea. You can thank her if you want to." The Emperor had no intention of deducting the Queen's credit: "The Queen is virtuous and kind. Concubine Xian, you should toast her."

After the emperor said this, the smile on Ruyi's face disappeared. After reluctantly paying her respects to the empress, she sat down and stopped talking, as if she was just a spectator.

Hai Lan was so anxious watching her dear sister being humiliated: "Your Majesty, it's Concubine Xian's birthday. I wonder what gift Your Majesty has prepared for her?"

Hearing this, the emperor looked very proud. It turned out that he was really prepared: "Li Yu, present it."

"Yes!" Li Yu looked happy and placed a bowl of noodles in front of Ruyi.

"This is the longevity noodles that I personally ordered the imperial kitchen to prepare. After eating this bowl of noodles, you will live a long and long life." As soon as these words were spoken, the Weaver Girl's face changed.

She had not received formal training in worldly knowledge, but she felt that it was problematic to speak like that in this kind of situation.

But Ruyi didn't think there was any problem. She was full of joy, eating noodles shyly, and then she began to speak out her heart: "Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Today is your birthday, you can have whatever you want." The emperor was in a good mood and planned to satisfy his beloved concubine.

"I would like to request that the Emperor posthumously confer the title of Grand Concubine on Li, a palace maid at the Old Summer Palace." As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

"Empress Xian, do you know what you are saying?" The emperor had a gloomy face. What he hated most was someone mentioning his life experience. Ruyi actually asked him to posthumously confer a title on his biological mother.

"There were many palace maids who served the late emperor. It is impossible for me to posthumously confer titles on them one by one. Besides, the late emperor did not leave such an edict." The emperor hoped that Ruyi would stop talking, but Ruyi was obviously not such a sensible person.

"It is impossible to posthumously confer titles on all the maids who served the late emperor. However, Li is the emperor's biological mother. If the emperor does not posthumously confer a title on her, wouldn't it make him appear unfilial and unfraternal?"

"Empress Xian! Do you know what you are saying? My biological mother is Empress Dowager Niuhulu." Even after saying this, Ruyi still pouted and looked stubborn.

The emperor suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of powerlessness in his heart. He waved his hand tiredly to tell Ruyi to shut up, and left with a depressed look on his face. As soon as the emperor left, everyone began to mock Ruyi.

"It was such a good banquet, but some people insisted on ruining it. Now the emperor is angry and has left. Aren't you happy?" After saying this, Concubine Hui bowed to the queen and left.

"I am tired too, let's all go." The Weaver Girl left with the three children.

Upon seeing this, Concubine Jia quickly said a few words and left happily. For a moment, those who had grudges against others spoke out, and those who had no grudges also spoke out, leaving only the embarrassed Ruyi.

In the end, only the unknown Wan Da Ying and the silent Mei Da Ying were left to accompany Ruyi. Just when Ruyi was quite moved, Mei Da Ying finally spoke.

"It seems that Concubine Hai doesn't seem to protect Empress Xian very much. It seems that the sisterhood between the two is not real." Mei agreed to make a few provocative remarks and left without asking whether Ruyi had heard her or not.

"Empress Xian, Noble Lady Hai is from Noble Lady Hui's palace, so she should naturally leave with Noble Lady Hui. If Your Majesty agrees, please don't take it to heart." Wan agreed, saying that she was a rare kind person. She said a few words of comfort and then bowed and left.

"What Wan Da Ying said is true, Your Majesty, Hai Changzai definitely didn't mean it,"惢心 immediately comforted her, but it was obviously not this that made Ruyi sad.

"The emperor is unwilling to acknowledge the identity of my biological mother. Does Li make him so ashamed?" Ruyi felt an indescribable pain in her heart, which made惢心 stumped. How could she, a little palace maid, dare to talk about this?

"Your Majesty, let's go back quickly, otherwise the Emperor might not be able to find you when he wants to see you later."

"Let's go." Ruyi raised her hand, curled up her fat carrot-like fingers, and placed them on惢心's delicate hand.

Not long after, the emperor came as expected. He came to bow to Ruyi. No one knew what was going on, but he was extremely anxious when he couldn't see Ruyi. He couldn't even approve the memorials.

Once you come to Ruyi's place, don't think about leaving. Under the influence of the love thread and the aphrodisiac fragrance in the bracelet, the two spent a wonderful night, and the emperor's body was slowly corroded.

Of course Ruyi was fine. After all, she was the reincarnation of Baizhe and her physical fitness was still good. The emperor could not feel that there was any problem with himself and only felt that he was very compatible with Ruyi.

The Empress Dowager found out about the dinner and punished Ruyi by making her copy the Book of Filial Piety. However, the identity of the Emperor's biological mother had been exposed, so for the sake of face, she posthumously conferred a title on Li, which made Ruyi very happy.

"The Emperor finally conferred a title upon my biological mother. He must be very happy."

At this time, the emperor was sitting in the Yangxin Palace with a depressed look on his face. Now, he didn't know how many people would discuss his life experience in private in the future. Even though he was an emperor, in the eyes of others, he was just the daughter of a palace maid.
