Chapter 119 Balin Meiruo
Hongli never expected this.
After so much effort, I finally had a legitimate son, but he turned out to be a moron.
When Yongqi heard the sound of glass breaking, he was frightened and burst into tears.
But without Hongli's order, the wet nurse didn't even dare to breathe, let alone get up to coax Yongqi.
Qi Ru lowered his head and lay on the ground.
He had just examined Yongji carefully and found that his mental retardation was congenital. He believed that it was because Ruyi was not well taken care of when she was under house arrest, and that Ruyi did not even eat meat during her pregnancy, which led to the twelfth prince's developmental delay.
In addition, Ruyi was born prematurely, so it was a miracle that Yongqi survived.
Qi Ru's palms were covered in sweat. "Your Majesty, the twelfth prince's dementia was brought from his mother's womb. If he hadn't received good care and nutrition during pregnancy, he would never have become like this."
His words revealed uneasiness, and his voice trembled slightly, as if he was under tremendous pressure.
"Your Majesty, there was nothing wrong with the meal I ordered delivered from the imperial kitchen. It was just that the guards guarding the Yikun Palace came to report that the Empress was unwilling to eat the food from the imperial kitchen, saying that someone wanted to take the opportunity to murder her." Lujun explained hurriedly.
It seems like he wants to clear himself.
"Perhaps it's because the Empress was framed and sent to the cold palace in the past, and was poisoned in an attempt to eliminate the entire family, so she is afraid. Your Majesty, I heard that when the Empress was under house arrest, she asked someone to bring in some vegetable and fruit seeds and planted them in the courtyard of the Yiku Palace. She relied on those vegetables to fill her stomach every day, so the Twelfth Prince did not get good nutrition. This is not the fault of Concubine Chun. I beg Your Majesty not to blame her." Yan Wan said.
Seeing Yanwan helping her explain, Lujun looked at her with gratitude.
Hongli slumped in the chair, his heart beating violently, his breathing rapid and disordered, as if he could not breathe fresh air, and every breath became heavy and labored.
A good legitimate son has become a stain. If people knew about this, they would be laughing their heads off.
Gradually, Hongli's eyes when looking at Yongqi changed from loving to angry, as if he was looking at an enemy.
No, he couldn't keep a mentally retarded prince in the palace.
But where else can we go?
After much deliberation, Hongli decided to send Yongqi to the Old Summer Palace.
Naturally, Hongli entrusted this glorious and great task to Jinzhong. He also concealed the matter and ordered that no one in the palace should reveal a word about what happened tonight, otherwise the whole family would be implicated.
And they only told the outside world that Yongqi was in poor health and needed to find a quiet place to recuperate, and the quietness of the Old Summer Palace was the perfect place.
Hongli did not inform Ruyi about sending Yongqi to the Old Summer Palace.
Ling Yunche knelt in the yard all night.
My feet also felt numb and painful from kneeling for a long time.
When Rong Pei went out to fetch water, Ling Yunche was still kneeling there. She shook her head and thought Ling Yunche was stupid. Ruyi was like this, so she would definitely not go out to see her. Whether he was sitting or lying down, Ruyi couldn't see him, so why should he be so honest?
Rong Pei fetched some water and helped Ruyi wash her face and body. When she returned, she saw Ling Yunche still kneeling, so she turned and went into the kitchen. While cooking for Ruyi, she quietly steamed two buns.
When she brought out breakfast, she secretly stuffed the steamed bun into Ling Yunche's arms and whispered in his ear: "Eat it, don't starve yourself."
Ling Yunche felt a little embarrassed, and thought of what Ruyi said last night. He was afraid of being punished by Ruyi again, so he really didn't dare to accept Rong Pei's kindness.
He evaded the question, "The Queen will be angry if she finds out."
Rong Pei looked disappointed in him and forced the bun into his hand, saying fiercely, "Eat it if I tell you to. The Queen is not feeling well, so get up and go to work."
"Besides, who else is there in Yikun Palace besides you, me, and the Queen? Who knows whether you are kneeling or standing?"
Rong Pei was like a beam of light, hitting Ling Yunche directly.
It was a long-lost sense of redemption.
"Thank...thank you very much." There was a smile in Ling Yunche's eyes.
Rong Pei nodded politely.
After exchanging a glance with Ling Yunche, he lifted the curtain and walked into the house.
Under Rong Pei's careful care, Ruyi's health improved a lot, and she only coughed occasionally. However, knowing that her health was not very good, she often ran to the yard to sit, waiting for her young man and son to see her.
Rong Pei advised her to take care of her body, but she didn't listen.
Every time Ling Yunche appeared, Ruyi would be furious, with a cold look in her eyes, and would beat and scold him at any time.
It didn't matter to Ling Yunche, but he was afraid that Ruyi's body would not be able to bear it for a long time, so he locked himself in the house during the day and would only come out to work when it was late at night.
He would avoid wherever Ruyi appeared.
The sky is clear, but it is still a little chilly in the early spring morning.
On the rippling blue lake, an exquisitely decorated boat sailed leisurely, like a small boat gently crossing the water without causing any ripples.
The hull is mainly dark wood in color and is carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. It has the delicacy of the Central Plains and the ruggedness of Mongolia. The wolf totem fluttering in the wind on the boat is the unique symbol of the Bahrain tribe.
As the boat gradually approached the shore, a woman in gorgeous Mongolian costume came into view sitting at the bow. She sat upright in the cabin, with an upright posture and elegant temperament, as if she had merged with the scenery of lakes and mountains, forming a moving picture.
The sunlight shone through the gauze curtains and onto her face.
The petite girl had a pair of eyes as bright as the stars in the dark night. She was about sixteen or seventeen years old. There was a radiance between her eyebrows, her skin reflected the morning glow, her hair was as green as a curl, and her every frown and smile was innocent and bright. Her beauty was flawless even under the scorching sun.
On the shore, Yu Hu had been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the ship docked, eunuchs and palace maids came forward and placed a small stool on the ground.
Yu Hu smiled and said, "Your servant Yu Hu respectfully welcomes Concubine Ying."
The maid who followed Yingpin into the palace was named Abao.
A Bao, with two pigtails and wearing a green fur Mongolian outfit, lifted the boat curtain and reached out to help Yingpin. A smile flashed in her eyes as she said, "Princess, we're here."
Soon, a petite woman emerged from the bow of the boat. Her eyes were as clear as water, as if they had never been tainted by the world, revealing endless innocence and agility.
A gentle radiance flickered between her eyebrows, her skin seemed even more delicate in the morning glow, and her hair, adorned with emerald green curls, added a touch of elegance. Her every frown and smile was filled with an air of innocence and brightness. Even under the blazing sun, her beauty remained flawless, as if she were nature's most exquisite masterpiece.
She is the little princess of the Balin tribe, Balin Meiruo.
It is said that she is the youngest and most beloved daughter of King Bahrain, and she came to the palace to serve Hongli. Hongli attached great importance to the Bahrain tribe, so as soon as Meiruo entered the palace, Hongli made her a concubine and the master of Xianfu Palace.
