Chapter 147 Unraveling
These words deeply hurt Ruyi. She spoke without thinking, "Your Majesty? Are you blaming me for my dereliction of duty? But the current situation is what I least want to see!"
"I'm not blaming you, I just hope you can understand your place..."
The emperor looked at Ruyi, who had just given birth. After all, she was still a new mother, and he really didn't want to argue with her again.
A feeling of powerlessness arose in his heart, a powerlessness that the emperor had never felt in his twenty-plus years on the throne.
He knew that continuing to argue would be of no benefit to either of them.
Seeing Ruyi still looking decadent, the emperor was really fed up. He stood up and left, leaving only one sentence: "That's all I have to say, Queen. You should reflect on yourself."
He turned away, leaving the inner hall without a trace of favor, leaving Ruyi lying there in a daze.
Watching the bright yellow corner of the clothes disappear from her sight, Ruyi felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was cracking.
She had thought that the emperor would comfort her for the premature birth, but she did not expect that she would face his accusations after giving birth to a prince prematurely.
Such a result was unbearable for Ruyi, and the love she had for the emperor in her heart was broken.
She couldn't understand why the young man she once loved had become like this?
Is it really because times have changed and people's hearts have changed?
Tears streamed down her cheeks, and Ruyi felt cold all over.
"Empress, what happened to the Emperor just now? Why did he leave with such a stern face?" Seeing the Emperor leave in a huff, Rong Pei came in from outside in a panic.
Seeing Ruyi in such a miserable state, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Ruyi looked numbly at Rong Pei and asked, "Is the Emperor disgusted with me now? Why does he keep asking me to take on the responsibilities of Empress?"
Hearing this, Rong Pei understood everything and quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
"Empress, the Emperor must have you in his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have trusted you with the throne, right? It's just that the Qing Dynasty is at war with the Dzungar Khanate, and the Emperor is distracted and distracted, so he spoke without thinking. Empress, you've been depressed for so many days, it's time to cheer up. Since the Emperor has given you the throne, you must not let him down, otherwise those who secretly hope you'll fall from grace will be even more proud..."
Rong Pei has been with Ruyi since she became the Imperial Noble Consort. She sees things clearly and knows that if Ruyi wants to win the emperor's heart, it is not enough to rely on their previous friendship. She should also do her best to be a good queen so that the emperor can't leave her.
Rong Pei's words concealed a hint of impatience.
Now she sees Ruyi depressed, while the people in Yongshou Palace are more popular among the people in the palace. How can she not be anxious?
Everyone in the palace is now on good terms with Concubine Ling. Ever since the morning and evening visits to the Yiku Palace were abolished, the Yongshou Palace has become the most lively place in the entire palace.
"I certainly want to be a good queen, but after becoming queen, I want to be a wife who walks shoulder to shoulder with the emperor. I don't understand why the emperor and I overcame so many difficulties to be together, but why we have so many conflicts after becoming husband and wife?"
Ruyi refused to listen to Rong Pei's advice and was always immersed in the different frequencies between herself and the emperor.
She really didn't understand why the emperor treated her like this.
Rong Pei sighed upon seeing this, and sat aside, patiently advising: "The Emperor is the ruler of a country. He must first be the Emperor before he can be himself. Your Majesty, you know that the Emperor's journey has not been easy. You should be like the Emperor, first be the Empress, and then be yourself. In this way, you and the Emperor will be a couple who share the same heart..."
After hearing her say this, Ruyi began to compromise.
She sighed deeply and said weakly, "I have heard your words. I will do what the emperor says and be a good queen. Please go down first. I need to be alone and quiet."
Even though Ruyi was unwilling to believe it, she had to agree with Rong Pei's statement. The emperor was already dissatisfied with her in many ways. If she could not cheer up, she and the emperor would inevitably drift apart.
After the emperor walked out of the Yiku Palace, he was extremely upset. He didn't want to say anything bad to the queen, but seeing her dejected look, he couldn't help but speak, wanting to wake her up from her dream.
Being a queen is not as simple as just staying by his side, but also requiring you to fulfill the responsibilities that a queen should fulfill.
The emperor walked irritably on the palace road. He could neither go back to the Yiku Palace nor return to the Yangxin Palace.
He has a lot of unspeakable troubles at the moment and needs to talk to someone.
As I was strolling, I passed by the brightly lit Yongshou Palace.
The emperor thought of Concubine Ling, who was pregnant. It seemed like he hadn't seen her for a long time. Thinking of this, the emperor stepped in without hesitation.
In the entire palace, I'm afraid only Concubine Ling can understand his thoughts.
He waved his hand, dismissed the servants who wanted to go in to report, and quietly entered the inner hall alone.
I saw Concubine Ling sitting inside embroidering, the dim and soft light shining on her, the scene was very gentle. Now she was about to become a mother, and her whole body exuded a sense of kindness.
Such a scene calmed the emperor's restless heart. He raised his foot and moved closer to her.
At this time, Yan Wan was concentrating on embroidering a tiger-head hat in her hand, when suddenly a shadow fell over her.
Yan Wan's embroidery was interrupted. She frowned slightly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Chun Chan, please move away. You are blocking my light."
Just as she finished speaking, she saw that the shadow did not move. She was about to look up and scold it, but she saw the emperor staring at her with a tender expression.
"Your Majesty? Why are you here? I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Yan Wan was startled by his sudden visit and quickly stood up to pay her respects.
Just as he was about to get up, the emperor stopped him.
He said softly, "You are pregnant, there is no need to greet me. Please sit down."
"Your Majesty really scared me. You came so late, you must have something to talk to me about, right? It's not a good time to drink tea at night, would your Majesty have a bowl of calming tea from my palace? Then you can have a good rest when you go back later..." Yan Wan said with a smile, she was really scared.
I don’t know what’s wrong with this plague god today. He just came here without saying a word.
Seeing her bright smile, the emperor's irritable mood was aroused by her and a smile appeared on his face as well.
As soon as he entered Yongshou Palace, the anger he had brought from Yikun Palace dissipated a lot.
Unlike the Empress who looked half-dead, Concubine Ling always had a smiling face when she saw him. She kept everything to herself and never caused him trouble. Instead, she would take the initiative to comfort him and help him relieve his emotions.
Compared with each other, there is a huge gap.
