Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wanwan's Daily Advancement

Chapter 285 Please teach me, Queen Mother

The Queen Mother looked at Yan Wan, who was kneeling down to ask for advice with a look of eagerness on her face. She was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

If I remember correctly, she seemed to have called this child here to admonish and warn her not to rise to a high position too quickly and develop inappropriate thoughts.

The Queen Mother smiled meaningfully.

This kid is really good at taking advantage of others.

Yan Wan saw what the Queen Mother was laughing at, and her ears turned red with embarrassment, but her eyes were firm: "Please teach me, Queen Mother."

In the past, she really wouldn't have dared to ask the Queen Mother for advice like this.

In the past, the empress dowager was obsessed with competing for power with the emperor and was ready to rule the country from behind the scenes.

Today's empress dowager is clear-minded and cleverly maintains her relationship with the emperor. She doesn't like to interfere in the emperor's harem and is too lazy to show up unless it concerns the future well-being of the Qing Dynasty.

Yan Wan wanted to become the empress dowager today, so she was naturally thirsty for knowledge.

The Queen Mother glanced at her and said, "I heard you've been very busy lately."

Yan Wan said softly, "As for time, if you are willing, you can always find some if you squeeze it."

The Queen Mother's mind moved slightly, and she chuckled and said, "I like reading Buddhist scriptures very much recently, but I always feel that those printed ones are not sincere enough."

Yan Wan immediately replied with a smile on her face: "I accompanied the Queen Mother to the small Buddhist temple to burn incense before, and I thought the small Buddhist temple was very bright. Can I come and copy scriptures for the Queen Mother every day?"

The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows: "Aren't you tired?"

Yan Wan said softly and coquettishly: "If I can't bear it anymore, I will ask for leave from the Queen Mother. Please don't despise me for being coquettish."

The Queen Mother was amused by her chubby appearance and waved at her.

Yan Wan stood up and walked to the Queen Mother. As soon as she stood firm, she was pulled to sit on the edge of the couch.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I like you very much. You should come to the Cining Palace often in the future. If it rains or blows, you don't have to come. You should know that no matter how important the plans and rewards in this world are, you need a healthy body to be able to bear them."

Yan Wan took the advice seriously: "I have always felt this way, so even if people sometimes say that I am pretentious and afraid of death, I don't care at all. I just follow the doctor's advice and take care of my body. I really hope to live to be a hundred years old."

The Queen Mother laughed: "You! You are really funny!"

Yan Wan was not embarrassed this time, she was even quite proud. She talked to the empress dowager for a long time with a smile on her face before she said goodbye and left.

Not long after she left the Cining Palace, she met Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu.

Concubine Mei stepped forward quickly, held Yanwan's hand tightly, and looked at her expression carefully.

Shupin didn't know so many details, but because this matter was so serious and Concubine Mei had given her some pointers, she had wanted to ask Yanwan for a long time, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to speak and would cause trouble for Yanwan again, so she had never asked her.

Unexpectedly, Yan Wan was suddenly summoned by the Queen Mother.

Concubine Mei took the opportunity: "What does this have to do with you? You are just too smart, that's why you were not harmed by the eldest prince. Why do you still blame me..."

Yan Wan grabbed Concubine Mei's hand and interrupted her unfinished words: "Sister Mei, don't worry about me. The Queen Mother likes me very much and promised to be my master in the future!"

Concubine Mei's eyes widened in shock: "You have fooled the Queen Mother into a mess?!"

Her shocked expression was so obvious that Yan Wan was speechless for a moment.

Yan Wan pinched her arm unwillingly: "Sister Mei, what are you talking about? How come I am the one coaxing the Queen Mother?"

Concubine Mei came back to her senses from her shock, and revealed a beautiful and proud smile: "To be honest, you are still unwilling. Back then, wasn't it because you coaxed me into boarding your ship and becoming your sister?"

When Shupin heard this, she was completely sure that the summons to the Cining Palace was not a big deal.

She relaxed her expression.

Yan Wan was amused by Shupin's appearance and held her hand with her other hand: "You look as if your body has been hollowed out."

Shupin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I was worried about you, but you teased me like this!"

She wanted to put on a fierce face, but seeing Yan Wan's smiling face, she couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay. That's the Queen Mother. Every time I see her, I always feel uneasy."

Yanwan and Concubine Mei both knew why she was so afraid of the Queen Mother, and patted the back of her hand gently.

Concubine Mei smiled and said, "The sun is shining so brightly now, why don't you all go to my place? Although Yongqi is away for school, the two little ones are getting more and more plump and cute. Now they have started crawling all over the bed, and sometimes they roll around when they bump into each other. It's really fun."

Yan Wan didn't really want to go, as she didn't like to interact with the two children, but seeing Concubine Mei's excited look, she nodded with a smile: "Okay, it just so happens that I miss those two little ones too, and my sister really cares about me!"

Concubine Mei's smile deepened, and she forced out a small smile of pleasure and pride. She pushed Yanwan to walk in the middle, while she and Concubine Shu followed one step behind:

"Although you and I don't care about those empty formalities, we still have to follow the rules. Wanwan, just show your dignity as a concubine outside, and don't lose your prestige for me and Yihuan."

Yanwan did not refuse. In a place where rules and hierarchy are the most important, if she acts differently, she will become the target of public criticism and a laughing stock, just like Ruyi.

The three sisters laughed and played for a while, and when Yanwan had rested enough, she said goodbye and left.

Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu both knew that the Empress Dowager had summoned her, and the Empress must have known about it as well. Although she had sent someone to report the news, it would be more reassuring without her being in person to let the Empress see it in person.

However, she didn't expect that when her people arrived at Changchun Palace, they were told that the Empress had gone to Yikun Palace.

Yan Wan frowned immediately: "Your Majesty is not feeling well, why are you going to Yikun Palace?"

The maid replied respectfully, "Her Majesty Xian is in poor health and cries day and night. As the head of the harem, Your Majesty has to comfort her."

Because it happened in public, the maid didn't explain it too clearly, but Yan Wan already understood what was going on.

Now she is in charge of the harem, but Concubine Xian cries day and night. Those who know her think that she has lost her child and was betrayed by her adopted son, and she feels sad. Those who don't know might say that it is Concubine Ling who manages the harem poorly and fails to treat the concubine who has lost her child well.

Yan Wan's eyebrows turned cold for a moment, but she soon put on a smile again: "I'm afraid I missed the queen on the way. I'm going to Yikun Palace now. If the queen doesn't meet me, I'll come back. You tell the queen that I'll come to see her tomorrow."

The palace maid breathed a sigh of relief immediately: "Yes, I will remember it."

Yan Wan turned around and walked away, her steps were so brisk, her beautiful eyes filled with murderous intent.

Chunchan didn't dare to say a word. She lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, trying to help the person up steadily and quickly.

The others jogged along to catch up. Wang Chan, who had rarely caught up, silently wiped the sweat from his palms, with a raging fire burning in his eyes.

For a moment, this group of people showed a fierce and aggressive spirit to protect their cubs.
