Comprehensive film and television: The favorite concubine is in power

Chapter 149: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 69

After Wei Yanwan went back, there was a sound of pipa music coming from Yonghe Palace. It took a long time for the music to slowly die down, and then it was replaced by Bai Ruiji's heart-wrenching cough.

In the evening, Wei Yanwan received the news that Bai Ruiji had died.

"In that case, tell the servants to prepare. I will go to see the emperor."

Bai Ruiji served him after all, but Hongli still remembered the sound of her pipa, so he said to Wei Yanwan: "You can just let your subordinates handle these things. You can't go wrong if you follow the etiquette."

Seeing that he didn't care, Wei Yanwan nodded and gave the matter to Concubine Wan, and asked Lan Cui who was beside her to watch over it.

After Hongli finished reviewing the memorials, he held Wei Yanwan's hand and took her to sit down. In his opinion, these were just trivial matters that could be handled by just asking people to do them. There was no need for Wei Yanwan, the queen, to do anything.

……

The days passed quickly, and soon it was the day for Balin Meiruo to enter the palace. She was exhausted from the long journey by boat and carriage, and was brought into the palace by Wei Yanwan, who asked the nanny to help her wash and dress.

"Now that the young lady has arrived in the capital, it's time to change into the clothes here." The nanny standing behind her said with a smile.

She also knew that she was not on the grassland now, so it would be better to change into clothes from the Central Plains.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. So let's change."

She had just arrived in the capital, and the environment here was indeed different from theirs. She changed her clothes with the help of everyone, and then someone around her reminded her: "Master Ying, there is another noble lady in the Yanxi Palace. Although you are of the same rank, the emperor has granted you the right to live in the main palace. Logically, your rank is half a level higher than that of Noble Lady Xian."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the treatment of a concubine is only temporary, and that the person will be promoted to the head of a palace during festive occasions.

However, Qingying was very obedient this time. She came to pay her respects to the noble lady the next day after she entered the palace, and explained why she did not come. "I was afraid that the noble lady would be tired from the journey yesterday, so I did not disturb her. Today I come to pay my respects to you. I hope that the noble lady Ying is doing well."

Meiruo looked at the elegant noble lady in front of her, and felt that she was indeed demure and courteous, so she smiled and stood up to help her up: "No need to be so polite, noble lady."

She looked Qingying up and down. She was wearing very simple clothes, a color not even her mother would use. She was truly low-key and simple.

"I just arrived in the capital and don't know anything. I am from the Balin tribe, my name is Meiruo, may I ask your name?"

While the two were talking, Meiruo turned around and looked at her from her chair. Qingying said with a smile, "I am from the Ulanara clan, Qingying."

"Ulanara?" She had no impression of the Ulanara family, but looking at Qingying's quiet appearance, she felt a little more intimate for no reason.

After all, this was the first time she met a concubine in the harem, so she asked for the information she wanted to know most: "What kind of person is our emperor?"

She had only seen the portrait, but didn't know what kind of king the real Emperor Qianlong was. Was he like her father, busy with external affairs all day long?

Speaking of the emperor, Qingying had a lot to say. She first described her impression of the emperor to her, saying only good things about him. This was also the Hongli she imagined.

Meiruo looked at Qingying like this, and when she said that she and Hongli were childhood sweethearts, she couldn't help but look at her face carefully. Could it be that the emperor likes this kind of person?

It's not that she looked down on Qingying, but because of Hongli's cold treatment and the years of being in the cold palace, her appearance could never return to the same state. Now fine lines appeared on her face, and her voice was made hoarse by the fire.

So when Meiruo saw her like this, she had some strange thoughts in her mind. When Qingying was still sighing about their friendship, she interrupted her and said with a smile, "Then...where is the Queen?"

"When I was in the grassland, I heard that the Queen was loved by the Emperor, and she was a model mother of the country and had good governance?"

Speaking of Wei Yanwan, Qingying's face turned cold a little. She looked at Meiruo and said to her: "The Queen is naturally virtuous. Our Queen is the Emperor's successor and ascended the throne in the fifteenth year."

There was a silence after that. Mei Ruo raised her eyes slightly and asked, "And then?"

Seeing that she was really curious, Qingying said a few more words, but her words still revealed some of her thoughts. After all, she looked down on Wei Yanwan from the beginning, so although she tried her best to cover it up when talking to Meiruo, she still revealed some clues.

After sending Qingying away, Balin Meiruo turned to look at the people around him, "Abao, do you think her words are credible?"

A Bao looked at his master and whispered, "Master, this is the Forbidden City. You and this noble are both in the harem, but you are different from others. You just met, so just listen to what I have to say."

A journey of a thousand miles tests a person's ability to perform well. Time reveals a person's true character. Whether a person is good or bad, you will know it after spending more time with them.

After what she said, Meiruo nodded slightly, "You are right."

However, I was so busy asking about the Emperor and the Empress that I forgot to ask Qingying what she liked, so I just asked someone to give her some things as a gift for the two of them to meet.

Because Wei Yanwan only asked people to pay respects on the first and fifteenth days of every month, Balin Meiruo had to go to the Yangxin Palace to meet the Emperor and Empress.

She picked the right time. Wei Yanwan and Hongli were chatting in the courtyard. Jinzhong came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Empress, Concubine Ying wants to see you."

"I have never seen her since she entered the palace. Today is a good opportunity. Let's ask her to come in and see me."

Hongli also nodded, "Okay, I have to meet him."

When Meiruo stepped over the threshold, she saw the emperor and empress sitting on a stone table in the courtyard. There was a white cat lying on the table. Wei Yanwan watched her bowing politely and said with a smile, "Stand up. Are you the daughter of the Mongolian King Bahrain? You look like a good child."

When Meiruo looked up, she saw Wei Yanwan's face that looked like a fairy. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Empress, are you a fairy..."

Then she was startled again, and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. It was an unintentional mistake. I did not mean to offend you."

Wei Yanwan smiled and asked the people to stand up, "It's nothing, I don't mind offending you. You are new to the palace, if there is anything missing, please ask someone to report it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Are you used to the journey?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I am doing fine."

Hongli had been silent all along. He did not think there was anything special about this Concubine Ying. He waited until the two of them finished talking before he spoke: "You have just entered the palace. If you have any questions about the palace, ask the maids around you. The maids I sent are all old people in the palace. You should learn more about the rules from them."

Balin Meiruo nodded, thinking that he cared about her and said with a smile: "Yes, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
