Ruyi's day of staying in a sunny afternoon began. The vermilion-red palace gate closed tightly from behind with a "creak" sound, and the chains were locked heavily. She didn't even know when it would be when it would be opened. The palace people in Yanxi Palace were so panicked that they burst into tears. They knelt all over the ground, but they didn't know who to kneel against. Hailan was also alarmed in the back hall and ran over in panic and said, "Sister, what happened? Why did they lock the gate of Yanxi Palace?"

Ruyi stood in the courtyard and slowly picked up the steps. The sunlight shone through the smooth branches that had fallen green leaves and mottledly sifted the ground. Such cold sunlight poured down from the sky. When she looked up, she could see the glazed green tiles of the nine palaces shining with the white light of ice and snow under the sun.

Such a light is so far away from her.

Ruyi whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm just being confined. The corner gate of Yanxi Palace can still be accessed, so I'm left for you."

Hailan had thin tears in her eyes and said uneasy: "Sister, I've just been quiet for these times. Are our lives so sad?"

Ruyi looked at the palaces in the distance, with the glazed tiles floating on them, and her expression was as calm as the snow under the sun: "Sometimes, quiet days do not mean sadness. You are at ease."

The time of confinement was quiet and unbearable, and it was isolated from the in and out of the way. What you could see every day was just a small blue sky. What Ruyi used to pass the time was just to let Ye Xin and A Ruo select all the silk threads in the warehouse one by one.

This is a very laborious thing. Each silk thread is divided into categories and is cooked in boiling water with various colored fresh flower juice. Rose juice is served with rose red, azalea juice is served with azalea red, hibiscus juice is served with hibiscus powder, and the flying swallow juice is served with a light blue after being cooked for a long time. Gardenia juice is served with a light apricot yellow white, and the fragrant bee flower is served with mint and blue purple. It is all exhausting. Even the yellow silk threads that need to be embroidered as stamens are cooked one by one with lemongrass juice and saffron juice, bringing a fresh air. And green is even more troublesome, with herbs such as aquamarine, Duheng, lychee, cinnamon, rosemary, thyme, peach grass and other herbs, boiled into fragrant berry bright green.

When Hailan saw her, she couldn't help but sigh: "Sister still has the heart to do these things. My sister went out these days and saw Wang Qin chasing those slaves who spread rumors all day long. She said that she heard it from Yanxi Palace. If this continues, I'm afraid the emperor will not just be confined, but will interrogate the Yanxi Palace one by one."

Ruyi smiled and handed her a handful of pineapple green silk thread: "Smell this carefully, I put three vanillas such as Fangzhi, Mugen, and Lanzi. Does it have a different fragrance of plants and trees, as if spring has come?"

Hailan had no choice but to take it, but she didn't sniff the smell as Ruyi said. She said with a sad face: "Sister is looking forward to spring, but her sister looks like there are endless winter." She was worried: "Once the rumors are confirmed to be spread by her sister and damage the reputation of the royal family, what should we do?"

Ruyi then raised her head and said, "How many people have Wang Qin found?"

"There are always ten."

Ruyi smiled lightly like a faint cloud shadow: "A dozen people are enough to kill me. But guess what if Wang Qin is to kill me, how many people are enough?"

A deep doubt rose in Hailan's eyes: "Sister means..."

Ruyi looked at the thick ink-like sky outside the window and said, "What can I mean? By the way, who is with the emperor these days?" Hailan said, "There are rumors in the palace, and the emperor rarely summons the queen. Most of them are Guiren Jia and Concubine Hui. Now that Guiren Yi is pregnant, the concubines in the palace often visit Guiren Yi. I heard that Concubine Hui is also very diligent."

Ruyi said: "The nannies in the palace often say that if you take the fetal medicine, you must be more involved in the pregnancy energy of a pregnant body. Concubine Hui is eager to have a son and will definitely go."

Hailan looked at the silk thread wrapped around her eyes and said worriedly: "It's fine. Concubine Hui always stands for a long time when she passes through our Yanxi Palace from Jingyang Palace, and she feels that her sister is in a cold state. In my opinion, she is just a gloating."

Ruyi smiled slightly, not caring at all: "If she likes, let her go. But she sighed outside, and I couldn't hear it inside. Even if I heard it, just think the wind blows."

Seeing her like this, Hailan could only remain silent. The two of them met in silence, listening to the rustling wind outside the window, and laughter came from afar. Hailan sighed: "Yanxi Palace was confined, and the Yonghe Palace people were empty. Only Jingyang Palace was favored. The wind sent the palace concubines to laugh and say, maybe only if we are so quiet here, we can hear clearly."

Ruyi smiled faintly, and the threads in her hand were constantly passing through, and she just slowly explained to her heart: "These silk threads are all boiled and dyed with fragrance. You will take them to the sun tomorrow to dry them. Be sure to turn them over and dry them many times. When the sun sets, you will take them in and cook them. It will take them many times before I can embroider the fragrant "Spring Intentions of Flowers"."

Wangxin agreed and added a few more candles. He was quietly facing each other. Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside, mixed with the sound of a woman screaming, the scolding of the palace maids and the eunuchs' ambiguous words.

Hailan immediately became alert: "Sister, what sound are you listening to?"

Wang Xin listened carefully for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "It seems to be the voice of Concubine Hui."

Hailan was stunned for a moment and immediately stood up, but she didn't know whether she should go and take a look.

Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "I was confined, but you didn't. Hailan, go outside and see. If Concubine Hui had something happened to us in front of our palace gate, it would be bad."

Hailan hurried out and ordered the guards guards to open the door. Ruyi put on the plain-colored gray squirrel cloak sent by Wangxin and followed closely behind. The guards guards in front of the door saw her coming out and hurriedly blocked them, "Empress Xian, the emperor has an order, you cannot leave the gate of Yanxi Palace."

Ruyi said lightly: "Don't worry! I will not teach you to make things difficult for you. I will only watch here and will never take a step beyond this palace gate."

The guards were obviously relieved and bowed to stand aside. The outside was extremely chaotic, and the footsteps of the guards of the palace were hurried over, obviously being alarmed by the sound just now. Dozens of palace lanterns shone brightly in front of the Yanxi Palace gate, which was coming at night, and Concubine Hui was surrounded by palace maids in the middle. A beautiful face like lotus petals was shocked and angry, losing the beautiful color of the past, and was obviously greatly frightened.

The eunuchs and guards held a brightly uniformed eunuch, pressing his entire face into the dust.

Concubine Hui's hair was messy, her clouds were loose, and several white jade southern red Ruyi bead hairpins fell obliquely in her ears, looking like she was about to fall. Her stern scolding was filled with anger and horror, and she shouted: "Drag this life-and-death thing to the emperor immediately and explain it to me!"

Ruyi whispered to the guard guard at the gate and said, "What happened to such a mess?"

The guard said, "When the words of Empress Xian, the man was the emperor and the former deputy eunuch Wang Qin. I don't know if he was drunk or what, but just now, Concubine Hui led the palace servants by, and he rushed up like a madman, his words and deeds were reckless, disturbing the Empress."

Hailanqi said: "It's not that Wang Qin doesn't know Concubine Hui, how could he offend Concubine?"

The guard said, "The slaves were ordered to guard the Yanxi Palace. They could not take a step away, so they could only watch. However, the prince was indeed like crazy. When they saw the concubine, they pounced on her without thinking."

Seeing that Concubine Hui recovered a little, Ruyi said loudly: "Concubine Xian of Yanxi Palace meets the Concubine, I wish the Concubine a blessing and prosperity."

When Hailan saw Ruyi’s rituals, she hurriedly followed suit and performed the rituals.

Concubine Hui protected her chest with one hand and said angrily: "It's you? Why did you come out?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "My sister didn't come out, she just heard the noise outside. Unexpectedly, the imperial concubine was here, so she came here to see, is the empress okay?"

Concubine Hui said annoyedly: "I have something to do, so you don't have to care about it."

Ruyi smiled humbly and said softly: "My sister doesn't want to care too much, but this matter happened in front of her palace. My sister couldn't take a look at her even if she didn't want to take a look."

Concubine Hui was so angry that she was stunned and smiled in a deep smile: "Okay! OK! You actually see this fun in this palace! I also want to know if Wang Qin suddenly offended me outside the Yanxi Palace. Is there someone deliberately instructing me?"

The two were in a stalemate, but saw a bright yellow imperial chariot coming not far away. Shuangxi hurriedly invited An to come forward and said, "Report to the imperial concubine, the emperor is in Jingyang Palace, and the servant has already invited the emperor to come over."

Before the imperial chariot was stopped, Concubine Hui was already filled with tears and fell to the ground and said, "Emperor, yourselves, you want to be the master of me. I have never suffered such humiliation when I serve the emperor. Myselves!"

The emperor's imperial chariot was barely stopped. Seeing her like this, she felt pity and anxious, so she said, "Li Yu, why don't you help Concubine Hui up quickly."

Concubine Hui was still crying, like a pear blossom with rain in spring. The emperor frowned slightly and said, "Okay. There are so many people here, what are you crying like? Just say something."

Ruyi led Hailan to ask the emperor for a second peace and said, "Emperor, the concubine is sad, Wang Qin is still muttering nonsense now. According to me, it is better not to spread the word outside the body. Why not pour water on Wang Qin first and then ask questions carefully."

The emperor hadn't seen Ruyi for a few days. At this time, he saw her wearing a plain cloak. Yingying stood in the wind, as if she was not holding it in one hand. She was very good at speaking. Every sentence was reasonable. The grudges she had been a little relieved these days, and she said, "The wind is strong on the long street, don't stand on the wind."

Ruyi said, "I thank you for your care. But this matter suddenly came out of the Yanxi Palace again. It was a shame that if the emperor and the imperial concubine wanted to ask, it would be better to move to the Yanxi Palace first. I will hold everyone away, and the emperor and the imperial concubine will deal with it slowly."

When the emperor saw that Wang Qin was pressed to the ground, his face was flushed and seemed drunk, and he was not inconvenient to drag him to another place, he said, "Then I will lend you your Yanxi Palace for use."

Ruyi answered "yes" and let the emperor and Concubine Hui enter. The emperor and A Ruo and Sanbao hurriedly cleaned up and served tea.

The emperor sat in the main hall and sniffed a few times, "It's still in the winter moon, why are there a stream of flowers and plants in your hall that are so refreshing and comfortable to smell."

Ruyi smiled faintly and said, "I am free, so I have some flowers and plants juice, which makes the emperor laugh."

The emperor was quite surprised and raised his eyebrows and said, "I have been jailed for you, but you are still leisurely."

Ruyi smiled lightly: "I was confined to my feet because the emperor wanted to return my innocence. I just need to wait with peace of mind, so my mind must be leisurely."

The emperor's eyes were so clear that he looked at her deeply and said, "Well. Just sit beside me and listen together."

Ruyi thanked him with a smile and ordered Sanbao: "Looking at Wang Qin's appearance, you can wake him up with ice water and bring it in and reply immediately."

Because the incident happened suddenly, the imperial concubine was disturbed again, and the emperor did not want to leave anyone in the hall. He only allowed the imperial concubine's maid Mo Xin and his personal eunuch Li Yu to serve him.

When the imperial concubine saw that there were few people, she couldn't help but she burst into tears and sobbed and refused to say another word. The emperor said, "As soon as you saw me, you said you were humiliated, but now you are unwilling to say what kind of grievances it is. How can you ask me to help you?"

Seeing that Concubine Hui was just crying, Mo Xin couldn't help but walk forward and said, "The Concubine Guiren came from Jingyang Palace just now. She thought that Concubine Xian was confined and couldn't bear it, so she came over to take a look and took it as a sister. Today, the Concubine Guiren had just come from Zhaohua Gate and entered the corridor in front of Yanxi Palace. Unexpectedly, Wang Qin rushed over from the Cangzhen Gate behind, and rushed towards the Concubine without any brainstorm, and said unclean words."

The imperial concubine stretched out her sleeve and cried, "Wang Qin was like crazy. She tore up her clothes as soon as she came up. When the emperor saw that her cuffs were pulled to pieces by him."

Ruyi said in surprise: "Wouldn't Wang Qin be on duty today? Why did you come from Cang Zhen's Sect?"

Li Yu hurriedly bowed and said, "Yes. It's not Eunuch Wang on duty tonight, so he went back to rest early in the morning."

As he was talking, Sanbao and Xiao Fuzi dragged Wang Qin, who was half awake and half drunk, in. Wang Qin's body was completely wet, obviously he was splashed with ice water. He looked much more awake than before, but his face turned into pig liver color.

Ruyi covered her nose and said, "Wang Qin is not unaware of Concubine Hui, she has always been respectful. Is there any misunderstanding in the middle?"

The emperor glanced at him disgustedly and said, "Looking at him like this, he seemed to be full of yellow soup and turned crazy!"

Li Yu hurriedly approached and smelled it: "Master, this smell does not smell like wine, but sweet, honey-like smell!"

Wang Qin struggled to get up, and just kowtowed to the emperor, he turned around and saw Mo Xin kneeling not far away beside him. A trace of shiny saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth. He tilted his body and rushed towards Mo Xin, reaching out to touch her face.

Mo Xin was shocked and did not care about the rules. She suddenly shrank behind Concubine Hui and screamed desperately: "The little master saves me, the little master saves me!"

The emperor could not bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Wang Qin, why are you going crazy!"

As soon as the emperor said this, Li Yu pulled Wang Qin. However, Wang Qin was quite strong and hummed and struggled hard. Looking at Mo Xin's eyes as if they were blazing red flames, he refused to move a moment without greedily.

Ruyi said anxiously: "Sanbao, Xiao Fuzi, drag him to the corridor and hold him down, and you are not allowed to come in."

The imperial concubine was shocked and embarrassed, and sad: "Emperor, Wang Qin's dog slave just now was watching his concubine pounce on him, he...he..."

The imperial concubine choked and couldn't say anything. The emperor's eyes were full of gloomy anger, and it would burn the prairie. Li Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Wang Qin is afraid he can't ask anything in this way. He is not on duty today, even in his own room. Only the servant remembers that he is not on duty to eat Lianxin. I guess when Lianxin comes to ask, he will know what Wang Qin is crazy about."

The emperor's nose wings slightly opened, and the blue veins on his forehead were beating rapidly, and he tried his best to suppress his anger: "You go and spread the Lianxin, and then let someone pass on the imperial physician to see what hysteria that the dog slave had was so bold and arrogant!"

Li Yu bowed and retreated. Seeing that Concubine Hui's silk was wet, Ruyi took off her and handed her to her, saying, "Sister Guifei, don't be upset. The veranda where Lianxin and Li Yu live is nearby. It will arrive soon. Sister, wipe your tears first."

The emperor was right in front of him. Concubine Hui saw Ruyi smiling and was not easy to have an attack, so she had to take the sprite and put it aside.

After waiting silently, Ruyi signaled A Ruo to bring tea. The imperial concubine took a sip and frowned and said, "It's cold, what's the strange smell?"

Ruyi's smile was gentle and gentle: "When I came back to the imperial concubine, it was mint honey tea. I just cooked some mint juice in my palace, mixed it with honey and made it with green tea. Drink it and calm it down and relieve depression. It is the most suitable."

A Ruo's tea happened to be handed to the emperor and hesitated for a moment: "Do you want to taste it? If you don't like it, I will change it to something else."

The emperor was so upset that he took the initiative and said, "No need to worry, I just drink this for Concubine Xian's wishes." His hand accidentally brushed over the back of A Ruo's hand, and A Ruo's face turned red, and she hurriedly bowed her knees and turned back. Ruyi was looking at Concubine Hui, but she didn't notice it for a moment. Half a cup of tea, and only the sound of pushing the door was approaching, Li Yu had already brought Lianxin over.

Lian Xin was panicked as soon as she came in, and knelt down in panic and said, "Emperor, Concubine Xian, did Wang Qin go crazy and bump into someone? But please don't be surprised by the emperor and all the little masters, please spare him."

Concubine Hui frowned: "If you ask this, you know why Wang Qin is so crazy, right?"

Lian Xin's face turned red and white, but she was ashamed and lowered her head and cried. Li Yu said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Doctor has come, and I am checking Wang Qin. The servant invites him in immediately."

The emperor nodded slightly, Li Yu had already opened the door and summoned the imperial physician in. The imperial physician was also shocked and kowtowed, "Emperor, I have already taken the pulse of the prince. He was not drunk, but because he had taken too much Ajinsu Pills!"

Concubine Hui frowned slightly with a faint brow and said suspiciously: "What is Ajisu Wan?"

The imperial physician was frightened and didn't know whether he should answer, but he saw that the emperor and Concubine Hui were both confused and had to bite the bullet and said, "This thing is the secret medicine outside, made of snake beds, Chuanxiong, and epimedium..."

The emperor immediately understood, and his face turned pale and said, "Bold!"
