Chapter 227: Ruyi establishes her authority; Concubine Shu encounters Hongli in the imperial garden
Ruyi was stunned as she stepped into the Yiku Palace. Everyone knelt down to congratulate her on her succession to the throne as the Empress.
"Get up quickly, this is impossible."
Gao Xiyue said: "Sister, you are the queen that everyone wants."
Hailan also nodded.
Everyone entered the main hall and took their seats.
"Xiyue, you are the one with the most clever ideas."
Gao Xiyue smiled complacently, "Of course, my sister is the queen, so naturally we have to celebrate."
Ruyi: "Alright, thank you for your hard work."
"I, the successor of this palace, will not trouble you sisters in the future. However, you must be vigilant and not cause trouble. Let us live in peace and serve the emperor together, and expand the royal family."
All the concubines: "Your servants (concubines) will remember the Queen's teachings!"
Ruyi nodded with satisfaction.
Noble Lady Mei: "Empress Yipin, your clothes... We are all the emperor's concubines. It's not a good idea for you to wear bright red to pay your respects to the empress, right?"
Concubine Chun said, "Noble Lady Mei is right. Although you are a daughter of the Yu family, you have been in this palace for so long. How come you still don't know the rules?"
Concubine Yi stood up and saluted Ruyi before saying, "Your Majesty, may I ask your Majesty for your permission? The Emperor said he likes me to wear this color of dress and has even gifted me with several sets. So, I must obey your Majesty!"
Ruyi nodded: "Well, the emperor's thoughts are the most important, please sit down."
Gao Xiyue rolled her eyes at her and said, "If someone didn't know, they would think you had succeeded to the throne. Look at the clothes and jewelry you're wearing. I'm afraid you must have spent all your family's savings, right?"
Yipin was not angry. She said calmly, "Your Highness Huifei is right. I haven't seen any good things, but these are all gifts from the Emperor."
Gao Xiyue sneered and ignored her.
Wei Yanwan intervened at the right moment, "Well, Sister Yipin is just trying to keep the Emperor."
Concubine Yi looked at her gratefully: "Your sister has spoken to the heart of my heart!"
"But how did you manage to keep it? Knowing the imperial physician's instructions, you still insisted on feeding the emperor venison and drinking deer blood wine?"
Gao Xiyue would not tolerate her, and her words hit the nail on the head. If it wasn't for the fact that the emperor wanted someone to take the blame for this matter, it was also because the emperor was grateful to her for taking the blame. Otherwise, she would not be able to escape so easily.
Concubine Yi's face was solemn. She felt her back still aching, as well as her unborn child!
"Why is Concubine Hui still bringing this up? The Emperor has already given up on the matter."
Ruyi: "The Emperor has not pursued the matter, because he knows his actions were wrong. If anyone else disregards the Emperor's safety and does something harmful to His Majesty, I will not tolerate it!"
Shupin's chance encounter with Hongli in the Imperial Garden was actually arranged by Ruyi. Li Yu came to report that the emperor would pass by the Imperial Garden at this time.
Shupin was wearing a light green dress and had her hair combed into a neat bun, and she was dancing gracefully.
There were a few butterflies flying around her, as if they were dancing with her.
A burst of floral fragrance entered his nose. Hongli closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and felt extremely refreshed.
Li Yu was about to announce the emperor's arrival when he was stopped by Hongli.
A group of people quietly watched Shupin's dance from the side.
While spinning, Shupin suddenly stopped. She faced the emperor, her eyes full of admiration.
She quickly knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness."
Hongli walked forward and helped her up personally.
"what are you doing here?"
