Chapter 458 Don’t look at it again this time!
Luo Yao smiled and said nothing, but reached out and held his hand.
Hongli cooperated and reached out his hand, looking at her beautiful features with gentle eyes, with obsession.
Luo Yao gently rubbed the back of his hand with her fingertips, and said casually:
"I remember that Empress Xian's birthday will be in two days..."
Hongli's eyes flickered, not knowing what she meant.
"I'm glad you still remember this."
Luo Yao sighed, and was instantly possessed by the god of acting.
"After all, I have been with Empress Xian for so many years. Thinking about it now, it seems like a lifetime ago."
"If I hadn't met the Emperor, I'm afraid I would have spent my life in such a dull and boring way."
Hongli's heart softened, and he turned sideways and hugged her in his arms.
In fact, he felt a little guilty because he didn't remember that Ruyi's birthday was in two days.
There have been so many new people recently that he hasn’t been to the Yanxi Palace for a while.
After being reminded of this by Luo Yao, Hongli felt guilty and thought it would be better to go and see her in a couple of days.
Luo Yao smiled but said nothing.
She really wanted to see whether Ruyi would propose to posthumously confer the title of Duke of Tai on Li Jingui this time.
Li Jingui, Hongli's biological mother, was the maid in the Old Summer Palace.
It was said to the outside world that the emperor's biological mother was the current Empress Dowager Niu Kurulu.
But those who know the truth know that this is just a layer of packaging.
In the Yanxi Palace at this time.
Ruyi was also considering whether to bring up this matter.
The emperor hasn't come to the Yanx Palace for a long time, which made her feel a little lacking in confidence.
Don't come here with great difficulty and then make people angry and leave.
She thought about it and soon it was her birthday.
.........................................
"My Lord, you look so beautiful in this outfit!"
In the Yanxi Palace, Rong Pei's old face was smiling like a chrysanthemum, and she praised Ruyi highly.
Ruyi lowered her eyes shyly, feeling very proud in her heart.
She is the emperor's first love whom he has doted on for so many years. With just a little dressing up, she will surely win the emperor's heart back!
Looking at Rong Pei who was standing behind her, she picked up a silver ornament and handed it to her.
"It's all thanks to your dexterity. This is a reward from me."
Rong Pei looked at the hairpin and took it respectfully.
Rong Pei is her newly selected personal maid. Although she is a little older, she is safe!
Unlike A Ruo and Rui Xin, Rong Pei becomes caring as she gets older.
I believe that the emperor will still be interested in her this time, right?
If she really likes him, she will accept it.
The original Rui Xin had been pushed aside and had no place for her to get involved.
At this moment, Rui Xin was standing in the corner, feeling very sad.
Only at this moment did she truly understand what Ah Ruo felt at that time.
Although she had no intention of clinging to the imperial power, her master thought she did, so she was guilty.
But the newcomer Rong Pei is not easy to get along with. She only smiles when facing Ruyi.
The rest of the time he had a serious face and his eyes glared as if he wanted to eat someone.
The name Rong Pei may sound a little inconspicuous, but she has another identity——
Madam Rong!
She is the Rong Mama in the drama "Little Swallow", the one who pricked Ziwei with a needle.
Speaking of which, it is still a childhood shadow for many people.
Rui Xin is naturally no match for the other party, and her life now is not as good as when she was with the original A Ruo.
Soon, it was time for dinner and Hongli, dressed in a dragon robe, arrived late.
"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."
Ruyi squatted down and saluted Hongli. Hongli looked at her with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Get up, today is your birthday, no need to be so polite."
Thinking that he had taken A Ruo away from her after all, Hongli finally felt a little guilty.
He reached out and pulled the other person up.
"Yes, I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
Ruyi had a smile on her face, looking somewhat happy.
It turned out that the emperor still had her in his heart, he was just blinded by those vixens before.
Now looking back, I realize how good I am.
Ruyi was so happy that she even ate half an extra bowl of longevity noodles.
The two chatted casually about the past, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
The premise is that Ruyi doesn't commit suicide.
That night.
After washing up, Ruyi went to the bedroom and saw Hongli leaning on the bed reading a book.
Men always clean up much faster than women.
Seeing that he was engrossed in reading, Ruyi tiptoed over and glanced at the book for a few seconds.
"What is the emperor looking at?"
Hongli didn't look up and turned another page of the book.
"Nothing much, just a strange story written by a knight."
Ruyi was curious, "When did the emperor become interested in this?"
I usually read poems, songs and essays, or works by famous teachers and scholars.
Why am I now reading biographies of knights-errant written by country folk?
Hongli subconsciously wanted to answer that it was not that he liked to watch it, but that A Ruo was interested in this kind of thing.
She insisted that he tell her the story to put her to sleep.
But he quickly swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
I’m afraid this isn’t the answer Ruyi wants to hear, so let’s not talk about it.
He coughed twice and said casually:
"Just take a look, broaden your horizons."
Ruyi didn't ask any more questions. She lifted her quilt and sat on the bed.
When sleeping with the emperor, each of them had to cover themselves with their own quilt.
Generally, concubines lie on the outside, to ensure the emperor's safety?
But after she lay down, Hongli was still reading a book beside her.
Ruyi thought that maybe the emperor hadn't come for such a long time that he felt a little distant from her.
So she took the initiative to bring up the topic:
"Your Majesty, during dinner, you said that I could make a wish for this year, but I said I hadn't decided yet..."
After hearing this, Hongli put down the book and turned to look at her.
"So you've thought it through now?"
Ruyi nodded, thinking to play it safe, she did not mention the posthumous title of Li Jingui, but said:
"I wish your Majesty success in everything, everything goes as planned, without any regrets."
She looked into Hongli's eyes and said this sincerely.
Hongli smiled cheerfully, "I've taken note of your kindness."
He has heard this kind of talk a lot recently, and he has gradually developed antibodies to it.
A certain little devil was so good at sweet talk, and her words were so straightforward and bold that she kept raising Hongli's acceptance level.
When facing Ruyi's love words again, I no longer felt so shocked, but instead felt it was quite normal.
But she used her birthday to make a wish for herself, and Hongli accepted her kindness.
Seeing that he was laughing happily, Ruyi tentatively mentioned:
"I hope Your Majesty has no regrets, but there is one thing that has always been a thorn in my side."
Hongli was puzzled and thought she was going to mention that he had accepted A Ruo.
The smile faded a little at that moment.
"What did Empress Xian talk about?"
