Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

Chapter 131 What's the point of being quiet?

Not long after Yan Ruju finished her lunch, several concubines of lower rank came to Ronghua Palace in a mighty procession.

After exchanging greetings, they finally sat down.

Yan Ruju looked at the young women sitting below with a warm smile on her face. They had different styles but all looked good.

"Why are you sisters interested in coming to sit with me today?"

"Look at what my sister said. If you have nothing to do, can't you come and see me?"

"Yes, of course. I'm the only one in Ronghua Palace, so it's usually quite deserted. Sisters, please come and sit with me to add some popularity to my Ronghua Palace."

"Since Sister has said so, we will respectfully obey your orders. We will bother you more often in the future."

"Okay, looking at you women who are as beautiful as flowers makes me feel much better."

"By the way, sister, have you heard that Concubine Yi is returning to the palace today?"

"I heard that the Emperor went to pick her up personally."

"Sister Yifei returned to the palace this morning, right? She should have come to see Sister Guifei this morning."

The smile on Yan Ruju's face faded a little, but it was still impeccable.

"Sister Guifei, has Sister Yifei come to visit you? We missed Sister Yifei so much after not seeing her for a long time."

Yan Ruju picked up the teacup beside her and took a sip of tea before speaking with a smile on her face.

"Sister Yifei must be tired from the journey."

The concubines sitting below looked at each other. It seemed that Concubine Yi did not come to Ronghua Palace to pay a visit to Concubine Gui after returning to the palace.

"That's right. I wonder where Sister Yifei went to recuperate. She stayed away for two months before returning to the palace."

"This is nothing surprising. Sister Yifei's Zhongcui Palace was almost destroyed by an assassin back then."

"I heard that there were only two skilled palace maids left, both covered in wounds, protecting him. It's obvious how badly they were injured."

"Those assassins are truly despicable. They have such a huge grudge against me that they dared to sneak into the palace and massacre everyone."

"I wonder how Sister Yifei's injuries are recovering."

"He needs to go out to recuperate, so his injuries are probably pretty serious. He'll probably have a lot of scars on his body."

"A woman has so many scars on her body. Sister Yifei is so pitiful. I wonder if you have any facial injuries."

"Tsk, she's not pitiful at all. Even though she's hurt, she's still favored by the Emperor. Didn't you see that the Emperor postponed his morning court session to pick her up this morning?"

Yan Ruju drank her tea and did not comment on the chattering of these women.

"Exactly. I'm not pitiful at all. Since ancient times, which concubine has been able to live in the Emperor's Palace of Tranquil Longevity? It's a great honor to be able to stay overnight. I just moved in directly."

"Just because the Emperor dotes on her, can he disregard the rules and not take our Imperial Concubine seriously?"

"If you ask me, the first thing she should do when she returns to the palace is to go to the harem to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager and the Imperial Concubine."

"Rules? I'd say rules are nothing compared to the Emperor's favor."

"If this continues, the harem will become the domain of Concubine Yi."

"What can we do? They have the emperor's favor, what can we do?"

"No matter how much he favors her, he doesn't give her the power to rule the six palaces. If you ask me, the emperor's favorite is still the imperial concubine."

"That's right, our Imperial Concubine is the Emperor's true love."

As they talked, they observed Yan Ruju's expression.

Seeing that Yan Ruju's expression had indeed improved a lot, he continued to compliment her.

"That's right, don't you see what kind of person the Imperial Concubine is?"

"Our Imperial Concubine was once the most talented woman in the capital. What does Leng Qing think of her? Who has ever heard of her?"

"The Imperial Concubine has the beauty, talent, and family background. It would be strange if the Emperor didn't favor her."

"Who says it's not true? Isn't Leng Qingyi relying on having a prime minister as her father? Besides that father, what else does she have? Without her father, she doesn't even have a brother to rely on in her family."

Yan Ruju knew that what they said was just to compliment her.

But it was a joy to hear them lowering Loneliness to the dust and lifting themselves up high.

"Well, you're not afraid that Concubine Yi will hear you and report you to the Emperor."

Yan Ruju smiled and teased them, obviously enjoying their compliments.

"Oh, we were just chatting privately, how could Concubine Yi be so petty?"

"Speaking of which, Imperial Concubine Sister, Concubine Yi lost her mother at a young age and had no female elders to teach her since childhood. Now that she has entered the palace, she is the Emperor's woman. Imperial Concubine Sister has the responsibility to discipline her properly."

"That's right. We must not forget our ancestors' rules. It is inappropriate for concubines to live in the Yangxin Palace."

"Yes, even if the Zhongcui Palace hasn't been repaired yet or Concubine Yi thinks it's unlucky, there are still so many palaces in the harem where you can live. There's no reason to stay in the Emperor's Yangxin Palace."

Yan Ruju had long known the intention of these women coming to her, so she was not surprised to hear this.

"I understand my sisters' opinions and will tell the Emperor about them next time I see him."

A few people laughed awkwardly, somewhat confused about the imperial concubine's attitude.

"I don't have any problem with Sister Yifei, but we are all sisters. If Sister Yifei becomes so arrogant because of her favor, she will inevitably be impeached by the court officials."

"Yes, we are just worried about Sister Yifei."

Yan Ruju was very bored to see that their attitude towards Concubine Yi changed so quickly.

"What Concubine Yi did this time was too much. I will definitely give her a good talk when I have the chance."

Several people came here and talked a lot, but the imperial concubine was very quiet and only said a few words in total.

This made it difficult for them to guess what the Imperial Concubine's attitude towards Concubine Yi was.

Logically speaking, the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Yi should be incompatible, but just now when they attacked the Concubine Yi together, the Imperial Concubine did not agree with them and even stopped them.

But he did not stop them or scold them at the beginning.

It really left them confused.

Yan Ruju had nothing to say about these women; they were just a bunch of insignificant fools.

Only smart people would be so impatient.

"Speaking of which, when Concubine Yi was injured, the Emperor didn't allow the sisters to visit her. I wonder if Sister Guifei has ever seen how badly Concubine Yi was injured."

"Since Sister Yifei has returned to the palace, those of us with lower status should go and visit her, but I don't know if it's appropriate."

Seeing that they changed their words again, Yan Ruju really didn't want to deal with it anymore.

"As long as you're willing to go, she must have recovered from her injuries now. How can she not see you?"

When the people heard Yan Ruju's words, they had different thoughts.

"How about trying the snacks here?"

Yan Ruju's intention to change the subject was not to be too obvious, for fear that these idiots would not understand what she meant.

"The snacks in the Imperial Concubine's palace are delicious."

"I'd like someone to pack one for each of you when you get back later."

"Thank you, Noble Concubine Sister."
