Chapter 222: Empress Ling has always been smart
"The Queen's Mother."
After the discord with Ruyi, Jingse called Ruyi "Empress Mother" for the first time.
Ruyi was originally angry about what Ling Yunche said before. When she saw Jingse swaggering in, she stared at Jingse unwillingly.
However, Hailan, who came to accompany Ruyi, was stunned for a moment and then greeted Jingse.
"The princess is here, please sit down."
Hailan looked Jingse up and down, and had no idea of Jingse's purpose, but she was sure that he had no good intentions.
After Jingse sat down, Hailan asked tentatively:
"Princess, why are you here at Yikun Palace?"
Jingse just responded to Hailan's question with a disdainful look.
"Of course it's because of Madam Rong's happiness."
Jingse could hardly stop smiling. She was so happy to see Ruyi unhappy.
Ruyi sat at the top with a pursed mouth, breathing heavily. She tried not to care about Rong Pei's affairs, but she was not a person who could tolerate it.
In the end, she pouted in displeasure and looked at Jingse as if he were an enemy.
Jingse had had enough of the joke, so she put her hands on her legs and sat upright.
"Since Empress Rong has been conferred the title of noble lady, she naturally needs people around her..."
"The princess and I are really in sync. We are both worried about Rong Guiren's pregnancy. Princess, are you here to ask for instructions on how to take care of Rong Guiren?"
Jingse looked back in surprise, and Yanwan came in with a sweet smile. She greeted Ruyi by the small heater.
When his gaze turned back to Jingse, he discovered that the person following Jingse had changed to Hongmei, not Li Yu.
With doubts in her mind, Yanwan deliberately sat close to Jingse.
Jingse smiled gently, as if knowing that Hongmei would be surprised, and looked at Hongmei.
Hongmei was standing in a position where she could see Yanwan. Yanwan's manners were considered better than those of the emperor's concubines. She sat upright with her hands crossed on her knees, looking like a real imperial concubine.
When he looked up and saw Ruyi staring at Yanwan and Jingse with murderous eyes, he felt that it was too shameful to watch. It really was too shameful to watch.
She glanced at Jingse and Yanwan again, a pair of beauties, and Hongmei felt that they were much more pleasing to the eyes.
Thinking about what Jingse said to her before he came.
"Your Highness has always been smart. Madam, just wait and see if you don't believe me."
Jingse was talking about going to the Yangxin Palace, but they came to the Yikun Palace. Yanwan could accurately guess Jingse's thoughts and did not disappoint Jingse's expectations.
Hongmei was very satisfied, and she kept Jingse's instructions in mind without showing it.
Yan Wan sat there but said nothing. She just came to see where Jing Se was setting a trap for her again.
Inadvertently glancing at Jingse, Yanwan still looked at Jingse with a smile.
Jingse suppressed the joy and satisfaction in her heart and pretended to be unhappy.
"Noble Concubine Ling is really thoughtful. Jingse came here for Noble Lady Rong's pregnancy."
"Madam, Concubine Rong is someone who left your palace. It's not right to ask others to take over your duties."
Jingse looked directly at Yanwan as she spoke.
Yan Wan knew without thinking that the person Jingse was referring to as someone who was meddling in other people's business was her.
As expected, Jingse came to Ruyi to sow discord.
Yanwan continued to listen calmly to Jingse's provocation.
"Jingse feels that it is only appropriate for Concubine Rong's pregnancy to be taken care of by the Empress herself."
"After all, she is a person who came from the Royal Mother's palace. If the Royal Mother does this, she will also be liked by the Royal Father."
As Yanwan listened, she felt something was wrong.
Why was Ruyi asked to take care of it? Shouldn't they instigate something and then throw the mess to her, and then she would find a way to push the task away in front of the emperor.
Yan Wan was surprised for only a moment, then became nervous again.
She was confused. How could she be sure that Jingse would be kind?
Jingse's plan went a step further.
There is something wrong with Rong Pei's pregnancy. If Ruyi were to take care of Rong Pei's pregnancy, the problem would be exposed immediately.
When Jingse says that it was Yanwan who diagnosed Rongpei's pulse and Ruyi who took care of her, then both Ruyi and Yanwan can be implicated.
Good means.
Yanwan's uneasiness was seen by Jingse.
Jingse had a smile on her lips.
Her Empress Ling must have come up with another plan in her mind.
When asked to take care of Rong Pei's pregnancy, Ruyi was the first one who was unwilling to do so.
Hai Lan refused to answer Jing Se's words. She had to remind Ru Yi.
"The princess is still thinking about the queen. The queen is the master of the six palaces, and it is her job to take care of Rong Guiren's pregnancy. Princess, don't worry."
Hai Lan didn't want Wei Yanwan to gain more favor in front of the emperor, so she took over Ruyi's job.
Even though she saw that Ruyi was unwilling to do this, for Ruyi's position as queen, Hai Lan had to take on this task for Ruyi.
Ruyi, who was standing aside, was already looking at Hailan with displeasure.
What was Hai Lan doing? She didn't know that Rong Pei was the one who left in front of her, and she was asked to take care of Rong Pei. When she went to take care of Rong Pei, the emperor's eyes were no longer on her.
She did not punish Rong Pei for betraying her like she did with A Ruo. She was already very kind-hearted.
Unintentionally seeing Ling Yunche with a grim expression on his face, Ruyi also began to think about Ling Yunche.
Someone like Rong Pei hurt Ling Yunche's heart and was even more hateful than Wei Yanwan.
"What the princess said is true, but I am not feeling well and I am afraid I can't take care of Rong Guiren's dragon fetus. I'd better let Concubine Chun take care of it. Concubine Chun is used to handling the affairs of the six palaces."
Ruyi ignored Hailan's best efforts and pushed Rongpei out.
Hailan stood up anxiously.
Ling Yunche stepped forward before Hai Lan.
"Your Majesty, if you are not feeling well, I will go and see Concubine Rong on your behalf. It would be bad for people to say that the Empress is the head of the six palaces and does not care about the concubines."
Ling Yunche is going to see Rong Pei?
Ruyi didn't understand what Ling Yunche was thinking. Her crooked body and head straightened up instantly.
"Well, in that case, I'd better go and see her."
Ruyi had to go in person. Ling Yunche was absent-minded the whole way and hadn't spoken to her for a long time. Now that Rong Pei was so anxious, Ruyi had to watch Ling Yunche go.
When Ruyi refused, Jingse was still worried that she would resort to some tricks, but Ling Yunche unexpectedly facilitated this. Jingse sat down with peace of mind.
Looking at Yan Wan from the side, she has been quiet for a long time. She must be thinking of something good to do.
Sure enough, Yanwan stood up.
"The Empress is going to visit Concubine Rong. I have prepared a lot of nourishing food for Concubine Rong. It seems that it is time to send it to Chengqian Palace."
Ruyi did not reject Yanwan's reason. In fact, it was not that she did not reject it, but that Ruyi's mind was not on Yanwan. She had not yet figured out what Ling Yunche wanted to see by insisting on seeing Rong Pei.
Yanwan and Ruyi went to Chengqian Palace, but Jingse did not go.
Hongmei asked Jingse why she didn't go. Jingse just said:
"If I go again, I will expose my intentions. The Queen is no match for Concubine Ling."
As soon as Ling Yunche arrived at Chengqian Palace, his eyes fell on Rong Pei. Under Wutong's service, Rong Pei had changed into a noblewoman's clothes and hair bun. For a moment, Ling Yunche realized that he had seen a Rong Pei he had never seen before.
Seeing Rong Pei was about to be stunned, Ling Yunche hurriedly said to Doctor Li who was boiling medicine beside him:
"Tai, Imperial Physician, the Empress is here to visit. Rong Guiren is pregnant for several months. How is she doing?"
