Chapter 168 Brother-in-law, only this time.
Ruyi's sister, Qingyuan of the Ulanara clan, soon entered the palace.
At least the emperor came over when everyone was greeting Ruyi good morning for the sake of the queen's face.
"Brother-in-law."
When the emperor stepped into the Yikun Palace, Qing Yuan went over and grabbed the emperor's arm.
Although everyone was surprised, no one showed it. However, Yingpin, who usually loved to act silly and coquettish, felt that Qingyuan was pulling the emperor like this and it was very unpleasant.
Ruyi, who was sitting at the top, also had her long eyebrows twisted.
Ruyi felt that Qingyuan's energy was so similar to A'ruo.
"Qing Yuan, learn some rules."
Qing Yuan reluctantly let go of the emperor's arm and stood behind Ruyi.
"When my sister participated in the talent show, she called the late emperor "uncle".
I just called the emperor brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law hasn’t said anything yet.”
Qing Yuan's every word was for Ruyi's sake. Ruyi moved her lips but still had nothing to say.
She looked at the emperor, but the emperor remained silent. Ruyi had no choice but to remain silent as well, letting Qing Yuan stand aside arrogantly.
The Emperor and Ruyi's concessions Qing Yuan thought she could say more.
She said excitedly:
"Sister, are you still watching the play with the emperor? The one about the wall horse?
Ever since my sister told me that she and her husband love to watch this play together, I have been watching it every day at home.
I dream of having a good husband like my brother-in-law."
"Oh, Princess Qingyuan is really the Queen's biological sister. Their words and preferences are exactly the same."
Concubine Qing would not let go as long as she could find Ruyi's fault. Now that Qingyuan had delivered the evidence to her with his own hands, Concubine Qing could not wait to laugh at her.
"It's just that Princess Qingyuan wants to say something.
It’s not appropriate for the princess to call the emperor her brother-in-law all the time.
It’s the play that the Queen likes. The content is really inappropriate. In order to avoid corrupting the princes and princesses in the palace, the Queen Mother has banned it from being sung. You can’t even mention it.”
After Concubine Qing finished speaking, she exclaimed "Qing Yuan" and looked at Ruyi.
"Sister, you never told me these things."
Qing Yuan's tone sounded like she felt it was inappropriate, but she also seemed to feel sorry for Ruyi, pitying Ruyi for being so unpopular now.
Ruyi was a little embarrassed. Qing Yuan's various unruly behaviors had already made her embarrassed at the beginning. Now she didn't know how the people in the harem would speculate based on Qing Yuan's tone of watching her have fun.
Ruyi could only say awkwardly:
"You have just entered the palace, there are many things you don't know, just be careful."
Qing Yuan said "oh" indifferently, then glanced at the emperor.
"That's right. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll just ask my brother-in-law."
When Ruyi heard Qingyuan calling her brother-in-law, she wanted to stop him, but Qingyuan did not give Ruyi such a chance.
Smiled:
"Brother-in-law, just this once."
Anyone who saw Qing Yuan's actions would say that he was very scheming. He was a seducer.
Ruyi felt more and more uncomfortable, and looked up to see Li Xin coming over.
So he hurriedly talked to Li Xin.
"Didn't Concubine Jia say that she had caught a cold and couldn't come? Why did she send you over?"
Li Xin was holding a small box, and she didn't know what was inside. She bowed and greeted.
"The Empress gave our master a pair of jade ruyi a few days ago. Although our master has caught a cold, she is still thinking about Princess Qingyuan entering the palace today.
I specially asked my servant to send this box of Yu's topaz to add to Princess Qingyu's dowry."
Jin Yuyan was in Qixiang Palace, but she had already caught a glimpse of Yikun Palace.
This box of topaz is just to cause trouble.
Qingyuan is only ten years younger than Biyi, but she is still unmarried. No one knew the reason before, but now people are wondering why.
Qing Yuan was indeed not very happy and wanted to come over to take the box that Li Xin was holding.
Li Xin flashed.
"Princess, this box of topaz is very heavy. I'm afraid you can't lift it."
As she spoke, Li Xin smiled sweetly at Ling Yunche.
"Eunuch Ling, please answer it."
Li Xin smiled sweetly and walked towards Ling Yunche. This action, which no one cared about, was a big deal in the eyes of Rong Pei.
Li Xin is seducing Ling Yunche!
Yanwan also paid attention to Li Xin's actions.
Li Xin was really good at acting. When she handed Ling Yunche something, she touched Ling Yunche's hand intentionally or unintentionally under Rong Pei's naked gaze, acting like a shy little girl.
Ling Yunche was also a thin-skinned person, and his face turned red when he was touched.
This really made Rong Pei very angry.
Rong Pei was almost angry. It was time for Li Xin to leave. Seeing that Li Xin was about to leave, Yan Wan thought she should give Li Xin a hand.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid Jingxuan is hungry. I will return to the palace first."
Yanwan stood up and the emperor hurriedly gave instructions to Jinzhong.
"Jinzhong, send Concubine Ling back and look after the princess for me. I am busy with government affairs today and cannot come over."
After receiving the order, Jinzhong, Yanwan and Lixin walked on the same road.
Yanwan could feel footsteps behind her, and Li Xin heard them too.
Both of them knew that the person was probably Rong Pei.
Yanwan called Li Xin.
"Li Xin, why are you so happy today? Is there something good?"
"The Japanese Palace is not in the Yikun Palace. I heard that you like Ling Yunche, but is it true?"
Yan Wan was indeed not there that day, so Li Xin did not become suspicious when asked this question. Instead, she thought of making good use of what Yan Wan asked.
Shamefully:
"Empress Ling Fei is teasing me. I am just a palace maid, serving my master.
Our master is only a noble concubine, how can she have the same dignity as in front of the Empress?
If you say you want to get married, you can get married. "
"Besides, Ling Yunche has Aunt Rong Pei. These are just rumors. Your Majesty, please don't take them seriously. It will be bad if it gets out and ruins Ling Yunche's reputation."
Li Xin's words were enough to allow Pei to be misunderstood.
In front of the Queen, those who are supposed to get married should get married, and that refers to her and Ling Yunche.
And Li Xin's final protection of Ling Yunche.
If Li Xin doesn't like Ling Yunche, then that would be weird.
Rong Pei left angrily, and Li Xin and Yan Wan both felt it.
As soon as Rong Pei left, Li Xin also found an excuse to separate from Yan Wan.
Yanwan and Jinzhong were walking when suddenly a figure rushed out from the corner and knelt at Yanwan's feet.
"Empress Lingfei, Empress Lingfei. Please give me some more silver."
The person kneeling at Yanwan's feet was not someone else, but Hailan's nephew Zhaqi.
Zhaqi had been beaten enough in the palace, and he had become much more honest, but he was still a natural gambler. Yanwan would give him a little reward from time to time.
Now that he was out of money, he had to ask Yan Wan for help.
"Master Ling?"
Jinzhong had already reached Yanwan when Zhaqi rushed out. Now he was asking Yanwan what to do.
Yanwan kept giving Jinzhong all the silver, but Jinzhong didn't know what it meant.
"My mother will enter the palace this afternoon?"
"Yes. According to the date, it is today. The servants have already asked people to prepare everything. I guarantee that the queen will have a comfortable stay when she comes."
Yanwan glanced at Zhaqi, who was kneeling on the ground and looked as dirty as a dog.
"Take him to Yongshou Palace."
