Chapter 130 Why
After Zhongli Yuan returned to the harem and regained her status as Concubine Yi, she did not move back to Zhongcui Palace with her luggage.
Instead, he moved directly into the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Upon hearing that Concubine Yi had returned to the palace and asked the Emperor to pick her up in person, the concubines in the harem each arranged someone to inquire about the news.
Seeing that Concubine Yi took the things and the servants went straight to the Yangxin Palace and did not come out, he immediately ran back to inform his master.
The concubines in the harem were very unhappy when they learned that Concubine Yi was not only brought back to the palace by the emperor himself but also moved into the emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
Either no one is favored, or everyone is equally favored.
Why does he only favor her? What makes her worthy of the emperor's exclusive favor?
Before he was injured, the emperor often visited her palace, but at that time he would also occasionally visit other sisters' palaces.
After she was injured, the emperor never entered the harem again except to visit the imperial concubine.
Why? Could it be that the emperor is trying to remain faithful to Concubine Yi?
The more the concubines thought about it, the more aggrieved they felt. All of these women who were able to enter the palace to be the emperor's concubines were top-notch in appearance, talent, and family background.
Why can't they get the emperor's favor, but a woman with a not-so-smart brain gets the emperor's favor?
When the other concubines learned of this news, the imperial concubine naturally knew about it.
She was even the first to know about it, and Yan Ruju almost fainted from anger when she heard the news.
I haven't seen Concubine Yi in the past two months, and no one has mentioned her.
She almost forgot about this person.
I thought that even if Concubine Yi didn't die outside, she would take a year or two to come back after suffering such serious injuries.
Unexpectedly, it came back in just over two months.
It seems that the emperor pays more attention to her than before.
She was actually allowed to move into the Yangxin Palace openly.
Since ancient times, the Hall of Mental Cultivation has been the emperor's bedroom. Some emperors had very strict rules and concubines were not allowed to set foot there easily.
Even those emperors who valued women would at most let their concubines stay in the Yangxin Palace for one night.
From ancient times to the present, there has been no precedent for concubines living in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
The emperor is truly disregarding the ancestral etiquette and laws by doing this.
"Your Highness, this Concubine Yi is too unruly. She actually brought her belongings and moved into the Yangxin Palace."
"You are now the highest-ranking official in the harem and have the responsibility to discipline her properly."
How could Yan Ruju not want to discipline that stupid woman?
It was just that the emperor had been acting so unpredictably recently that she couldn't figure out what he was thinking for the time being.
"This Concubine Yi didn't even bother to come and pay her respects to you when she returned to the palace. She really doesn't take you seriously."
"If this goes on, she'll be riding on your head."
"Shut up!"
"When is it your turn as a servant to comment on the master's affairs?"
Yan Ruju rubbed her eyebrows in pain as she looked at the palace maid kneeling on the ground in fear.
If there was no one available around her now, she would never let such a stupid person stay and serve her.
"Please spare me, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to speak without restraint. I was simply irritated by Concubine Yi and was standing up for you."
"I don't need you to defend me. From now on, keep your mouth shut without my permission."
"Yes, I have remembered it."
"Get out and guard. I need to be quiet for a while."
"Yes."
The newly promoted senior palace maid retreated tremblingly.
Yan Ruju rubbed her brows and tried to guess what the emperor was thinking.
The emperor's past actions showed that he must have feelings for her.
But it is unknown how deep his love is, but in any case, he treats her differently from other women.
The emperor's attitude towards Concubine Yi was disgust before he told her that he wanted to get rid of her.
When did your attitude towards Concubine Yi change?
Yan Ruju carefully considered the time and opportunity for the emperor's change of attitude.
It seemed as if all the changes started from the day when the emperor wanted to take action against Concubine Yi.
Originally, the emperor told her that that night would be the day of Concubine Yi's death and the beginning of the destruction of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When I woke up, everything seemed to have changed.
Concubine Yi, who was about to die that night, not only did not die, but she seemed to be even more favored by the emperor.
The Prime Minister's Mansion, which was about to be destroyed, did not show any signs of collapse. Instead, the Duke's Mansion and her father, which the Emperor had relied on in the past, were repeatedly suspected and weakened.
It was also from that night that the emperor, who used to be cold and ruthless and obviously restrained in doing things, seemed to have become a different person.
His face was no longer as cold and indifferent as before, but began to show some lively expressions.
I am no longer silent and will never say more than one word if the problem can be solved with just one sentence.
Never use two words if it can be solved with one.
The handling of state affairs is even more confusing.
When dealing with the corrupt officials in the court, he was no longer as restrained as before, but acted boldly and decisively.
He was not afraid of angering those powerful families.
The whole person became like a wanton and arrogant teenager.
Everything seemed to have changed since that night.
and so……
What exactly happened that night.
Yan Ruju fell into deep thought, unable to understand how a person could change so much.
"Your Highness, it's time for lunch."
A soft call brought her back to her senses.
I looked out the window and realized that a whole morning had passed.
But she still didn't understand why the emperor had changed.
"Your Highness, several ladies have sent in a message saying they want to visit Ronghua Palace this afternoon. What do you think?"
"understood."
"My lady, please let them come over."
Yan Ruju pondered for a moment, wondering why the concubines who were usually quiet in the past wanted to come and sit with her today.
Considering that Concubine Yi was returning to the palace today, I roughly knew why they came.
"Just let them come. How can I not entertain them?"
"Yes."
A light suddenly flashed through Yan Ruju's mind.
Yes!
Not only the emperor changed, but also Concubine Yi.
Others may not know it very clearly, but she has had a lot of dealings with Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi was a fool before.
She needs the guidance of two big maids to do anything, otherwise she will not be able to do anything.
Although she had only met Concubine Yi briefly twice after that night, she could still see the difference in her words and eyes.
She had changed, but she didn't know exactly how.
But what is certain is that she is definitely not stupid.
What happened to cause the emperor's temperament to change drastically and make a stupid person become smart overnight?
The more Yan Ruju thought about it, the more doubts she had in her heart. She needed to know everything about what happened that night.
Yan Ruju didn't even bother to eat. She stood up and walked to the desk beside her, picked up a piece of paper and prepared to write a letter.
"Madam, are you going to write something? Let me grind ink for you."
Yan Ruju looked up at the palace maid who was still waiting in the hall to serve her and frowned slightly.
Then he put down the brush he had just picked up.
"Nothing, let's have lunch first."
The palace maid was confused as she looked at her master who suddenly became excited and then suddenly calm.
But the most important thing in their line of work is to act stupid.
