Satisfied Female Emperor - C62
Emperor Qinghe patted her on the back. “If I know, I won’t blame you, right?” He took the honey water from Senior Officer Zheng. “Have a drink of this and your throat will feel good.”
After she finished drinking, he motioned for her to lie down. “You should sleep first. We’ll talk after you wake up.”
Ru Yi still hadn’t given up. “Royal father, don’t blame me for being reluctant. She’s old and fierce, please send an imperial physician over to take a look …”
When Qing He saw that she had tears in her eyes every time she mentioned the Du Family, he could only say in a warm voice,
I don’t want to cry anymore, Tutor Qian said before, only then did he think so after hearing what the French master said. Actually, what the French master said was wrong, it’s not like that at all.
Ru Yi then nodded. “Your daughter is worrying royal father.”
Right now, Emperor Qinghe was completely immersed in the warmth of his meridians. “Hurry and sleep. Get up early.”
Ru Yi lay down on the pillow and closed her eyes. Soon, her breathing slowed.
Li Jing and Li Zhong had just left the room. Under the instructions of Senior Official Zheng, they entered before kneeling on the ground. Emperor Qing He spoke slowly, “Be careful with her service. If Grand Preceptor’s daughter still isn’t good enough, we’ll even punish her this time!”
The two of them hurriedly replied.
The sky had already turned white, and Emperor Qing He hadn’t slept for the entire night. Li Rou and the others had finally returned, and their faces were also pale. Everyone had heard that something was up, but they didn’t know what it was and didn’t dare to randomly listen.
When he saw that the princess was still sleeping, he went out to call Li Jing and ask him a question. Li Jing and Li Zhong didn’t know much about it either, as they were only persuaded to go down the mountain after the princess left the mountain last night.
After asking them, Emperor Qinghe then asked Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan knew a lot, but he didn’t dare to say anything. If he didn’t say that he had already become the vice commander, then to tell the truth, he might even lose his head.
Zhou Xuan stayed up the mountain with his daughter for the entire night. He also accompanied her into the capital.
A strange feeling rose in Emperor Qinghe’s heart, as he realized that Ru Yi was actually alone in this Du Su clan. The Dharma Idol was his substitute, so it wouldn’t do anything to harm him. However, the matter now was obviously caused by the Dharma Idol, but he had no other choice.
Fortunately, the princess was fine.
In the past, he was afraid that she would be easily seduced by those people because of her age. But now he had Prince Jiang Liu, as well as the young masters of the various families in the capital, he had seen quite a few of them, but they were all the same.
The personal guard didn’t come from the guards’ camp, but from a common disciple found in the Royal Monastery with the highest talent. The first was loyalty, and the second was martial arts. The bearing of the home disciples of the Royal Monastery was naturally good.
Ru Yi only woke up in the evening, feeling that her throat had become a lot more comfortable. Seeing that she had woken up, she poured a cup of clear water from the teapot and said, “Your Highness, have some water to moisten your throat.”
Ru Yi’s eyes felt unwell and her throat felt a little dry. She stretched her hands to receive the cup of wine and rubbed her eyes after drinking it.
“Your Highness’s eyes are swollen from sleeping. This servant has prepared a handkerchief to help you apply it, right?”
Ru Yi nodded and lay back down. Very quickly, Green Bamboo took the handkerchief that was just right for the temperature and humidity and gently placed it over her eyes. Seeing that Ru Yi didn’t move, she turned around and called out to Li Rou. “Your Highness is awake …”
Li Rou gave her a glance and nodded before personally reporting to Emperor Qing He.
Ru Yi lay down, but could no longer fall asleep. She closed her eyes and thought.
His mother might not have been really depressed, but she was too old. It was obvious that she was in a bad mood and had angered her father yesterday …
Her father was easily coaxed, but he couldn’t coax her for an entire lifetime. If she compromised this time, then she wouldn’t be able to see her mother again in the future.
Speaking of which, she also had to thank the Dharma master. Although he had scared her half to death, at least he had met his mother, and she knew that she was still alive.
He was extremely obedient when he was young, and he didn’t know if he was willing to listen to her. If he blamed her, it wouldn’t matter if he got angry at her, but if he does, it’s fine. Otherwise, if Royal Father finds out, there might be a chance for him to do something about it.
Ru Yi turned her body, the handkerchief in her eyes falling. She put it to the side and instructed Green Bamboo, “My eyes are wrinkled and sore. Go and get me some ice to apply to them.”
“Ice won’t do,” Emperor Qinghe said as soon as he heard the princess make a ruckus. He suddenly stopped and said, “There’s a Violet Jade Ointment here that specifically eliminates swelling. It’ll be applied to your highness.”
Lu Yi only felt that it was ice-cold and had a little bamboo fragrance, but it wasn’t unpleasant and after a while it became much more comfortable. She simply stood up and thanked him, “Thank you, royal father.”
Emperor Qinghe helped her to her feet. “Have you had enough sleep?”
Ru Yi nodded her head, revealing a shameful expression. “Last night, this son was too reckless and caused royal father to be upset. This son is willing to accept the punishment.” As he spoke, he knelt down once more.
“Since I’ve raised you so much, what have I punished you for?” “Tell me, how do you want me to punish you?” This time, Emperor Qinghe didn’t stop her, but rather, he spoke with a calm voice.
Senior Officer Zheng waved his hand and dismissed those who were not important. Emperor Qing He glanced at Ji Hao admiringly. Even if Ji Hao was angry, the princess couldn’t lose her face in front of these servants.
Although Ru Yi wasn’t really scared, she still had to be careful and resist the itch in her throat.
“At that time, this son was confused. royal father had always doted on me, and this son should not have angered royal father like that. As long as royal father can quell my anger, I will not complain.”
Her face was still somewhat pale, her long hair draped behind her, and her beautiful face, which was originally a little baby fat, now had a oval face. Emperor Qinghe was not only blaming this bald donkey for meddling in other people’s business, but he had also ruined her relationship with the father and daughter pair over the past few years.
“I don’t dare to punish you. If you don’t punish me, you have to report my behavior to your Royal Grandfather and Royal Grandmother. If you punish me, your Royal Grandfather won’t be able to crawl out from the grave to cause trouble for me!”
Ru Yi couldn’t help but grin. When she saw the dark face of Emperor Qing He, the corners of her lips almost flattened.
“Your son is wrong. Your son went to confess to royal grandfather’s grandmother, and your son caused your father to be unhappy. Your grandfather will definitely feel sorry for your father, and will definitely be angry with your son.”
“This son is learning to make socks from Xu Lin. If royal father doesn’t mind, this son will make two pairs for royal father, right?”
Emperor Qing He curled his lips. Seeing this, Ru Yi’s cold eyes turned as she smiled and said, “If royal father feels that I have done well, how about I make the socks for you in the future?”
In her early years, she had learned to take needle and thread when she was with the Tusu family, but the Tusu family felt sorry for her and wanted her to learn how to be a woman when she was eight years old, so she didn’t have a chance to learn how to be a woman.
The reading partners followed her, but did not learn this. Xu Lin saw Green Bamboo making her socks, so she did the same thing. After looking at it a few times, she felt it was simple and wanted to curry favor with her father.
Emperor Qinghe had long since stopped being angry. He only wanted to prop her up, but seeing that she had given in, he helped her up. He even helped her wipe the dust on her knees that didn’t exist.
“That’s enough. Since you’re done, why don’t you rest for the night and go to the palace tomorrow?”
“Since there’s nothing to do, why don’t royal father come with me? It’s a good opportunity for the ministers to be caught in the light as well …”
“Mm. Then let’s go together.”
After that, he went to the imperial study and helped her to read out the pencils. In the end, he felt sorry for her and only allowed her to see it. When it was the Hai hour, he sent her to sleep.
Ru Yi’s eyes recovered and her complexion returned to normal, although her voice was a bit hoarse. She did not drink yesterday’s medicine, and Emperor Qing He did not force her to. She did not drink, but instead chose to remember the lesson and not cry like this ever again.
Ru Yi wanted to see Zhou Xuan. She had thought of asking her father for help, but Zhou Xuan hadn’t said anything. As for those guards, could he be in charge of them?
“Demoted to the position of vice commander? Have you arranged for anyone to become the new commander? ” Obtaining the exact information from Li Rou made him shocked. It was easy for him to descend, but difficult for him to ascend, especially if his father really arranged for a new commander to be bestowed upon the Eastern Palace.
“I need to see royal father alone.” She got out of bed and looked for her shoes.
Li Rou knelt down and whispered, “Your Highness, think twice.”
Ru Yi looked at the Li Rou on the ground. After Li Rou said this, she didn’t say anything else. However, she understood more or less of what he meant. Looking for her father to plead with him would only make him hate Zhou Xuan even more …
After closing his eyes, a sense of powerlessness rose up from within his heart, “Arrange for Zhou Xuan to come and see Gu Gu. Don’t let anyone know.”
Li Rou thought for a moment and said, “His Majesty has summoned Yan Luan to meet with the six Elders today. Does His Highness want to go to the Eastern Palace?” Seeing that her eyes were closed and she nodded her head, he said softly, “This servant will go and arrange it. Commander Zhou will be the guard palace and go to the East Palace.”
The people from the East Palace had already left for half the hall, making the place even colder. But at this moment, it was as if there was a fire burning in her heart. Li Rou came over and whispered, “Commander Zhou has arrived.”
Ru Yi raised her head to look at him, but didn’t say anything.
Zhou Xuan also didn’t have any bitterness in his mouth, but he had already concealed it from the emperor. He couldn’t betray his majesty, so even though the princess didn’t ask, how could he answer Emperor Qing He’s question in full detail?
Ru Yi nodded her head. “Are you confident in the people below?”
Hearing this, Zhou Xuan’s spirit recovered, but he still silently nodded his head.
“That’s good then. You can go back and take care of the new commander’s matters.”
Zhou Xuan bowed and left, just in time for Li Rou to come in. “Your Highness, His Majesty is summoning us.” “I heard it’s about the guards.”
Ru Yi turned her head to look at him. This turn of events made her feel extremely uncomfortable, and her underlings had also become more cautious. This caution was greatly reduced.
However, she couldn’t guarantee them anything. Not to mention that right now, she was still too much of a girl, even if there really was a day … She wouldn’t promise them today, and would only do her best.
