Chapter 238 Hailan feels sorry for Ruyi; Xiyue proposes a flower viewing banquet
Hailan looked at Ruyi with some heartache. It turned out that the friendship between childhood sweethearts was just a pastime for others in the harem.
In fact, she didn't understand. She was only favored by Hongli because he was drunk. There was no emotional foundation between the two of them.
"Sister, I kind of understand how you feel."
Ruyi smiled and said, "We are all in this together, so who doesn't understand who?"
On the way back to Jingyang Palace, Xiuxin asked Concubine Jin, "My dear, why do you want to please the Queen?"
"Haven't you figured it out yet? The Empress is the biggest winner. She has a bond with the Emperor and two sons. As the saying goes, a mother's status is determined by her sons. She also has the support of Princess Jinse."
"Princess Jinse? But doesn't she hate the Queen the most?"
Noble Lady Jin: "Isn't she short-sighted? Princess Jinse advised her when Su Lian was still alive, but she refused to listen. At that time, Jinse was already the Queen's woman."
Xiu Xin was confused: "I really can't tell."
"Now the palace is peaceful and harmonious, and the Emperor has handed over the throne to her. Do you think she is the biggest winner?"
Xiuxin nodded: "Princess Jinse used to dislike interacting with the concubines in the harem. She prided herself on being a legitimate princess and being very noble."
"The Queen is truly capable. She can even subdue a little bully like this."
"Actually, my Lord, it's right for you to show weakness to her. After all, our situation is not very good right now."
Concubine Jin sighed and said, "Oh, I won't fight or compete anymore. I'll just go with the flow."
Later, Gao Xiyue brought Concubine Ke over.
Gao Xiyue said, "Sister, I have a good idea. It's really boring to stay in this palace every day. Why don't we hold a flower viewing banquet?"
"That sounds good. We can invite the wives and daughters of some of the powerful officials in the court. Concubine Chun's Yongzhang and Concubine Hui's Yonghuang can carefully choose their wives this time."
Gao Xiyue pointed at Hailan and said, "You are the one with so many tricks."
Ruyi nodded: "Yes, Xiyue and Yonghuang are already so old, it's time for them to be candidates for the title of Consort."
Gao Xiyue also nodded: "Well, it's a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity."
The few of them did what they said. Ruyi had already gone to the Yangxin Palace to ask for permission, and Hongli naturally agreed. The flower viewing banquet was scheduled to be held in the Qianqing Palace on the tenth day of this month.
When Ruyi came out of the Yangxin Palace, she went straight to the Cining Palace.
After the greetings, Zhen Huan asked her, "What are you doing here today?"
"Madam Empress, I'm here today to invite you to the flower viewing banquet on the tenth day of the lunar month at the Palace of Heavenly Purity."
"Flower viewing banquet?" Zhen Huan repeated, but judging from her expression, she didn't seem interested.
Ruyi nodded: "Actually, it's more like a blind date banquet than a flower viewing banquet."
Zhen Huan: "Oh? How do you mean?"
"I have invited many young ladies and gentlemen from the court. Madam, please help the children choose carefully. And Yongsheng, he seems to be feeling very depressed."
Zhen Huan thought about it and then nodded: "Okay, the Queen is thoughtful."
Ruyi smiled and said, "It is my duty to think about my children."
Zhen Huan: "The Queen is wise and more sensible than the previous Queen."
"I cannot imitate the virtuousness of the late queen, but I am a little clever."
Zhen Huan smiled and shook her head: "You are very clever. The former queen did not understand the ways of the world and only cared about her own little piece of land. Okay, let's not talk about her. You are the queen now, are you happy?"
