Satisfied Female Emperor - C46
Ru Yi only found out after she had dispersed that her guests had already waited at the entrance of the Eastern Palace. What was going on? Don’t say a word in advance for Mao.
She glanced at Tutor Qian and saw that he was only nodding towards her. He had no intention of calling her to study, so she could only bring Li Rou back to the Eastern Palace.
Although the princess was not here, the people of the Eastern Palace could not leave the guests at the door to wait.
Li Qing called Lin mama and a few palace maids, leading the various young mistresses all the way to the Tai Palace.
In these past few years, if there was anything that could be done to entertain the guests, they would be arranged to be arranged to the Mai Palace. The arrangement of the Mai Palace was not the low-key of the Imperial Hall; rather, it was filled with the majesty and luxury of the imperial family.
When Li Qing saw that Lin mama had taken over the guest, she turned around and went to receive the princess. It was likely that the princess was still unclear about the matter of the meeting with the guests today.
“The people who entered the palace were none other than the Duke of Cheng and his son, as well as his son’s direct descendants. The direct descendants of Gao Zhen and Gao Qian, and the direct descendants of Gao Xuan and Gao Qianqian, as well as the Duke of Qi’s son, Xiao Jia and his daughter Xiao Hong, and the direct descendants of Liang and Xu Xin and Xu Shiyan. “Your Highness stayed at the imperial court for half an hour, and all the girls from the Three Palaces had arrived. This servant didn’t dare to act on his own initiative, so he called for Lin mama to lead the other Miss Palaces to the Tai Hall.”
Ru Yi’s footsteps did not stop as she entered the Eastern Palace. Since she had grown up, she did not need to carry the carriage, because first, this thing looked rather high-end and grand, but actually, it was better than walking quickly. Second, her royal father was in his prime and his heroic spirit had never slowed down by even a bit, so sometimes, he did not even need a sedan chair, not to mention her.
She lowered her head to look at her own clothes. Although she did not speak in the morning, her clothes were special and were not like ordinary clothes. She had already seen the Minister of the dynasty in them before, so it did not seem rude to receive guests in these clothes.
Li Rou quickly knelt down to help her tidy up the clothes.
Ru Yi stood at the entrance of Mai Palace. A gust of wind blew past, causing her clothes to flutter. Although her expression was plain, it gave off a feeling as though she was facing an abyss.
Several noble ladies stood up one after another.
Ru Yi revealed a sincere smile. “Please take a seat.”
There were a total of five children. Uh, this year, Liang Guo’s eldest daughter was 18 years old and they were already engaged, so she couldn’t be considered young anymore. All that was left were the little girls around the same age as Ru Yi.
Ru Yi sat at the head of the table. All the daughters of the manors saluted her in succession. The green bamboo and red bamboo stood on either side of her, supporting her up.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you are older than me. Please do not stand on ceremony in the Eastern Palace.” When Ru Yi was five years old, she was a little curious about the true noble ladies, but she didn’t like being someone like them, so she didn’t ask Emperor Qing He for a meeting with these people before, and since the noble ladies didn’t have imperial orders nor rank, they naturally couldn’t enter the palace. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the fact that they had entered the palace this time, Ru Yi would have met up with them on the streets, and no one would have known each other.
Ru Yi had already been taught by Emperor Qing He and the Imperial Tutor, so she knew that being too intimate and cold on their first meeting wasn’t good. Just as she was about to invite them to the East Palace, she heard Li Rou report from outside, “Your Highness, Feng Lin Feng wishes to see you.”
Feng Lin sneaked back, and Ru Yi knew about it, but it wasn’t a good time for her, so she nodded. “Call her in.”
Feng Lin didn’t want Ru Yi to laugh as soon as she entered. She was wearing a crane-embroidered jacket with a luxurious aura. From the looks of it, she was here to support her.
After Feng Lin had seen the noble ladies, Ru Yi said to her, “It’s good that you’ve come. We’re bored sitting here. Take a stroll around the East Palace with these big sisters. I’ll change my clothes and go to the Hu Xin Pavilion.”
Feng Lin quickly responded with a smile and said, “I heard that the lotus flowers have already bloomed there. Why don’t we go in the boat and look around and see who can find it?”
Ru Yi looked at the others with a smile. “The Heart Pavilion isn’t far from here. Tell Feng Lin to lead the way. We’ll only take a quarter of an hour. If any of you sisters need anything, just look for Green Bamboo.”
The young lady of the Liang family, Xu Xin, was the oldest. Last night, she was also instructed by the other two families to take care of the young ladies who entered the palace, so the moment Ru Yi spoke, she quickly replied, “Many thanks, Your Highness.”
Emperor Qing He smiled as he said to the Duke of Cheng, “Looking at the children, I feel that we are all old.”
Duke Cheng looked around, “Your Majesty, your subject has aged, but Your Majesty and Duke Liang are still young.”
Xu Donghao was around the same age as Emperor Qing, but he didn’t have a grandson yet. Hearing Duke Cheng’s words, he nodded and said, “That’s right, you have to have a grandson to dare say that you’re old.”
“Did Gao Kaiding and Xiao Jia Dingdang get married?” As soon as the words of Emperor Qinghu left his mouth, the Duke of Cheng and the Minister of Qi’s hearts began to beat once more.
Seeing that his father did not say anything, Gao Rui hurriedly replied, “Reporting to Your Majesty, we are not engaged yet.” In reality, his family was already searching for a wife for him, but Gao Rui found it hard to say these words.
Emperor Qing He nodded. “Such a good child, and also the residence of the Duke of Guo’s estate … there must be a lot of families fighting for him, right? When the marriage ceremony is over, you have to let me know. I haven’t participated in a joyous event in a long time, so I brought my daughter to get a cup of wine as well.” This time, Cheng Guoguo led his children and grandchildren to kneel down in gratitude.
Xiao Jing cursed at the old fox Gao Su before replying, “Your Majesty, Xiao Jia has already made a small decision.”
“Alright, I have a reward.”
Grand Officer Zheng showed a piece of paper to Emperor Qing He before giving it to Xiao Jia.
Xiao Jia couldn’t help but blush in gratitude. Emperor Qing He smiled. “Since you’ve gotten married, it’s time for you to think of a way out in the future.”
Within the Eastern Palace, Ru Yi had just changed into a plain, goose-yellow suit. She was just about to play with the red bamboo in front of the mirror when she saw Li Rou standing at the door and move a little.
“Come in.” She looked at the person in the mirror and frowned. She wanted to be closer to the person in the mirror, so she chose the yellow one, but the yellow one didn’t set her down in the village and made her look even paler. “What is it?”
Li Rou replied, “Prince Jiang Liu sent a gift over. This person said that the Sixth Prince’s dog gave birth to five puppies, and their color and hair were similar, so the Sixth Prince sent one of them over. ”
Ru Yi felt that Jiang Mai Li could really give her trouble. ” Say that I don’t know how to raise them and send them back to him. ”
Li Rou was actually speechless, but she still dutifully said, “The Sixth Prince even sent a dog boy over …”
Ru Yi cursed in her heart. “Aside from the palace maids, there are also eunuchs in the Eastern Palace. Has this dog, this servant, been castrated?”
“Let him take it back first. The puppy is so young, I’m afraid to leave my mother. It would be bad if it was raised to death, so I told the Sixth Prince to bring it back when it’s older.”
Ru Yi led the red bamboo to the back and looked at the pavilion in the middle of the lake from afar. Everyone was standing there and didn’t know what they were looking at.
The boat was extremely small, and could only fit two people. It was something that the martial arts master had asked for for for his reading partners. It was good to use for balance training. They didn’t want to be in the lake today.
The chubby Ji Fang stood under the pavilion and shouted, “Team Blue, you can do it, hurry up!”
Feng Lin also knew that she was taking care of the noble ladies. When she looked up and saw her, she quickly smiled and said, “Your Highness has arrived.”
Ru Yi smiled and excused herself. She then walked up to the pavilion and said, “You come up as well. You don’t want to destroy the pavilion by stomping your feet on the ground.”
Everyone took their seats. The youngest granddaughter of the Cheng Guogong family, Gao Qianqian, was the youngest and most lively. She even turned around to watch the competition in the lake, but Gao Xuan reached out a hand to pull her back.
Ru Yi smiled. “Don’t restrain her. Sometimes, Gu Ruoyun will go down to draw with everyone.” Her literature class would occasionally be suspended, but the martial arts class would be closed every day and would not be left behind by the reading partners.
He then said to Ji Panpan, “When this competition is over, tell them to search the lake for blooming lotus flowers. They first found five, and then deliver them to me for their rewards.”
Ji Panpan hurriedly nodded in agreement, then looked eagerly at her. Ru Yi could only smile and said, “You should go as well. You must be careful.”
Ji Panpan nodded furiously, turned around, and rolled away like a ball.
The ladies did not expect the reading partner to be so fat. Xu Shiyan from the Liang Household also opened her mouth widely, her eyes filled with flesh and blood.
Soon, the dozens of boats dispersed, and the surface of the lake became slightly quieter than it had been before.
Xu Xin looked at the princess who was drinking water, then looked back at Feng Lin, who was like a little girl taking care of her, and that fat, bulbous, yet obedient reading partner. She felt that this prince was truly worthy of her admiration. She’s the oldest, so she has to take care of her little sisters, but this is the East Palace, Xu Xin doesn’t want the mistress to actually let them ride on the boat, if they fall into the water, then there’s nothing she can do about it. Just now, she had been feeling nervous, afraid that the princess would come and they would go on the boat. After thinking of countless excuses, she heard Gao Qianqian ask Gao Xuan from the side, “The hall is coming down. I also beg His Highness to call me to go row the boat.” Xu Xin screamed in her heart, thinking that she wouldn’t be coming even if she pretended to be sick in the future. Unexpectedly, the princess came, and did not mention the matter of having them go boating at all.
Xu Xin let out a breath of relief as she lifted the cup in front of her and took a sip of water. Then, she heard Gao Qianqian get off the stool and run over to the princess, her mouth open as she asked, “Your highness, can I be your reading partner?”
Xu Xin knelt down immediately, “Your majesty, Qianqian is young, please forgive me.”
Ru Yi smiled and motioned for Feng Lin to help her. “Don’t be afraid, Miss Xu.” He then turned to Gao Qianqian, who was still looking at her, and said, “The reading partners of the Gu family were all chosen by royal father, so I can’t make the decision.”
To these ladies, the Emperor’s name was’ the heavens’. As expected, when she said this, Gao Qianqian gave up. She lowered her head pitifully, and Ru Yi held her hand with a smile. Do you know how to swim? ”
Seeing her unhappily shake her head, Ru Yi personally picked up a cinnamon bun and gave it to her. “If you can’t swim, you can’t row. Ask the sisters sitting around you if that’s the case.”
Gao Qianqian raised her head. Sure enough, she saw her sister, Sister Hong, and the other two sisters nod with dignified expressions on their faces.
However, she refused to give up. “What if I can swim?”
