Chapter 150: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 70
Meiruo had a smile on her face when she went out. Wei Yanwan and Hongli gave her many rewards to show their love for her and followed her.
The master and his servants left the Hall of Mental Cultivation happily, but as soon as they entered the Palace of Yanx, they saw Qingying standing in the corridor looking at her. Meiruo turned her head to look at her and felt that Qingying's words were biased.
In her eyes, Wei Yanwan didn't seem to be a jealous villain? Why did Qingying imply that she was let down by the emperor?
But she had not yet realized how favored the queen was. Since Wei Yanwan entered the harem, she could be said to be the most favored among the six palaces. After the queen became pregnant with a son, Hongli directly gave Wei Yanwan the exclusive favor of the bedchamber.
Now that she has become the empress, the emperor is even more fearless. People from the previous dynasty will not say anything and at most they will just talk about offspring.
But Wei Yanwan is not without children, and her children are extremely smart. In this situation, almost anyone with a discerning eye knows what they should do.
What? Do you think the emperor is stupid for doting on the queen? No, no, no, the emperor and the queen are deeply in love, and they are a role model for couples in the world. The queen is gentle, virtuous, dignified and generous, and she is a role model for women in the world!
Anyone who dares to say anything like that doesn't want to live.
It's not that no one wanted to persuade him at the beginning. After all, it was not safe to have only one smart prince. However, Hongli just scolded back and almost accused the other party of being disobedient. Fortunately, he still had some rationality and just scolded the person away.
Wei Yanwan did not say a word after she knew about it. The court officials always kept an eye on the princes, weighing who would succeed the next emperor, and all wanted to take sides to win the credit of following the emperor. By then, the whole family would be able to rise to the top and leave their names in history.
Just as he was thinking about it, Hongli came in with Yongqi, "The weather is getting hotter, I plan to go to Chengde in June to avoid being too hot."
Hongli touched Yongqi's head. Ever since he grew up, Qianlong forced him to shave his head. For a long time, Yongqi didn't dare to show his head.
It took me a long time to wear a hat before I really got used to my bald head.
Wei Yanwan felt fortunate that Hongli and Yongqi were relatively good-looking, otherwise she would not be able to bear it after they shaved their heads.
But it’s okay now, her round head looking good when she’s sleeping.
She stroked Yongqi's half-melon head and smiled at the child who was already as tall as her chin: "In another two years, mother will not be as tall as Yongqi."
Yongqi smiled and looked up at him, "Mother, Yongqi will always be your son. If you want to touch your son's head in the future, just tell him and he will lower his head for you to touch."
Wei Yanwan was amused by him and found the scene funny, "My dear son, what did you learn today? Have you memorized it clearly?"
"Well! Ordinary texts are fine, but my father is now taking his son to read history. Only by learning from history can we better carry out our careers!"
Wei Yanwan nodded and agreed, "Well, your father is right."
Afterwards, Yongqi went to see his sister. Wei Yanwan told Hongli about the arrangements for going to Chengde. "The Queen Mother is not in good health and needs to go there. Your Majesty, please take a look at the concubines and decide who should be taken with you."
It is indeed very hot this year, otherwise Wei Yanwan would not have taken her children so far away.
Hongli nodded and said, "Take all the noble ladies and above with you. The princes and princesses must also go. The rest of the things can be arranged slowly. There is still half a month left, so there is no rush."
"Yes, then I will do as the emperor says."
After the two of them finalized the matter, Wei Yanwan waited until tomorrow to tell them, which happened to be the fifteenth day for paying respects.
The two have been together for so many years, but Hongli still doesn't feel bored. If it weren't for Wei Yanwan's persuasion, Hongli would have grown a beard long ago.
Wei Yanwan doesn't like old men. She thinks it's not beautiful if they grow a beard. It's not her aesthetic.
Of course, this is just a saying. If Hongli really grew a beard, he would then see how heartless and ungrateful Wei Yanwan was.
The two of them sat by the window. Hongli looked at her fair and smooth face and couldn't help but pinch it. Wei Yanwan looked at her with wide eyes, as if asking something.
Hongli rubbed his fingertips, feeling the delicate touch he had just felt, and felt that his Yanwan had not changed at all. After being with him for more than ten years, Wei Yanwan was still so beautiful and charming.
Her skin is as good as that of a newcomer, but she has a more mature charm, which makes her even more attractive.
Standing in front of the concubines in the harem, they were not from the same world at all, so how could he look down on them? So, it was not his fault.
Seeing her inquiring eyes, Hongli smiled and said, "Nothing, my Yanwan is really fair and tender, no different from before."
Wei Yanwan felt that he was just idle and acted more like a fool as he got older.
"What are you talking about?" Wei Yanwan patted his hands, looked at the roses that were blooming outside and said with a smile: "This year's roses are in full bloom. This is the first time I have seen such a passionate flower in full bloom."
Hongli tilted his head to look at her. He had asked the greenhouse to cultivate this rose specially. It was much bigger than the small one before. The palm-sized flower was almost the same as a peony.
"If you like them, it's a waste of their bloom."
"Yang Wanli wrote: 'It is said that flowers do not stay in bloom for ten days, but this flower never fades away in the spring breeze.' It really fits you."
"Hmm?" Wei Yanwan raised her eyebrows and looked at him. Hongli held her hand and said with a smile, "Doesn't my queen enjoy the spring of all seasons?"
They were talking about the two of them. Hongli looked at her with a smile on his face, which made Wei Yanwan laugh as well.
This was the time when Hongli was most relaxed. When he saw Yongqi running out happily, he asked him, "Is your sister awake?"
"No! My sister fell asleep. I went to check on her for a while and then came out. I didn't disturb her."
Children sleep a lot and it is the time when they grow up, so Wei Yanwan asked someone to watch them carefully.
Seeing Yongqi panting, Wei Yanwan wiped the sweat off his head and said, "Why are you running so fast? Your head is covered with sweat."
After she wiped him with a handkerchief, she handed him a cup of warm fruit tea and whispered, "Drink some."
Yongqi nodded and drank two sips. Not wanting to crowd Wei Yanwan, he sat down next to Hongli. His father was shaken by him and said in a low voice, "You have learned all the rules."
"Hehe..." Yongqi begged for mercy quickly and helped him massage his arms and legs, being very attentive and fawning.
Wei Yanwan shook her head helplessly and insisted that Yongqi was bold and indulged in everything. Both father and son were unruly, and it must be a common trait.
After a while, Hongli finally stopped with satisfaction. Seeing Yongqi's cleverness, he felt happy. This child always knew the limits. He was a monarch and a subject outside, and a father and a son at home. It was hard for him to be so young but he had already strictly followed the etiquette and never made any mistakes outside.
Hongli often praised him for having the same demeanor as the emperor, and the people below him were numb with the sticky relationship between them.
