Chapter 141: After All 5 Brothers Are Still Brothers
"Support the Fifth Prince."
There were only five short words on the carrier pigeon.
Yanwan had seen the handwriting above before. It was Jingse's handwriting.
This is why Che Ling insisted on meeting the Fifth Prince. Jingse has already started to help Yongqi ascend to the throne.
Yanwan stroked the carrier pigeon and leaned in to smell it.
"This pigeon has the scent of amber. Although it is very faint, once you are infected with this scent, it is not easy to disappear."
Shenshuixiang is Ruyi's favorite incense, the pigeon is the nanny given to Ruyi by Jingse, and Hongmei is secretly raised in Mulan Paddock for communication with Jingse.
Hongmei secretly used carrier pigeons to communicate with Jingse, and also left traces on the pigeons.
Yanwan had already figured all this out, and she and Jinzhong deliberately waited on the route the carrier pigeon must take to intercept it.
"Khorchin has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty had many Khorchin queens. Che Ling naturally understood Princess Jingse's kind reminder.
Che Ling surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was naturally willing to curry favor with his future master."
Jingse is in Korqin, but she has never forgotten her original intention.
Now the Fifth Prince, who is raised by Ruyi, is promoted, naturally to deal with Ruyi.
The Fifth Prince's prominence will become a worry for Ruyi.
After reading the letter, Yanwan gently put it back and released the carrier pigeon.
The three of them looked up at the carrier pigeon flying towards the direction of Mulan Paddock. It would not take long for Hongmei to understand what her master meant.
Yanwan and Jinzhong stopped shooting arrows and rode back to Mulan Paddock.
On the way, he gave Jinzhong some instructions.
"At night, find a way to get the emperor to visit the queen."
After everyone returned to the palace, Jinzhong was the first to return to the emperor to serve him.
"Your Majesty, you have been busy all day, it's time to take a break. The Yikun Palace sent a message saying that the fifth princess is much better. Your Majesty, would you like to go and see her?"
The emperor nodded without hesitation.
With Yongqi's help, the relationship between the emperor and Ruyi improved a lot. Jinzhong only mentioned it briefly and the emperor was willing to go see the fifth princess.
The emperor sat in the sedan chair, and Jinzhong spoke carefully from the side.
“The emperor has many princes, but I see that the emperor loves the princesses the most, especially our Princess Jingse and the fifth princess.
It is true that the Fifth Princess has a delicate face, and upon closer inspection, she somewhat resembles Princess Jingse."
The emperor was really happy just thinking about his cute daughters. He was desperately thinking about what Jinzhong said.
It would have been fine if Jinzhong hadn't said it, but Jinzhong did say it. If you think about it carefully, Jingsi and Jingse are indeed somewhat similar.
The tragic fate of Princess Longyue reminded the emperor of his daughter Jingse who married far away. He wanted to meet Jingsi immediately and love his daughter well.
As the emperor and Jinzhong stepped into the Yiku Palace, they heard the little princess's tender and clear laughter.
The emperor did not want to disturb the princess, so he signaled everyone to be quiet and went to the corridor with Jinzhong.
The emperor had just raised his foot when he heard Rong Pei's voice.
"Your Highness, it's time to rest if you continue to tease the princess. I just happen to have a few words to comfort your Highness."
Rong Pei's voice now subconsciously disgusted the emperor. But in her heart, she couldn't help wanting to hear what this bold servant wanted to say.
Rong Pei was just beaten in the afternoon, and now she comes to Ruyi and I don’t know what she wants to talk about.
Rong Pei was beaten, but no one wanted to kill her. At this moment, she was leaning on the table in the hall and talking to Ruyi.
Ruyi didn't care about Rong Pei's injury or pain. She just stared at her.
"You can say whatever you want at any time. You and I can say whatever we want."
"If you blame me for not being able to save you during the day, I have nothing to say."
Ruyi thought Rong Pei was going to say that she did not save Rong Pei.
Rong Pei shook her head firmly.
"No, I never thought that Your Majesty was wrong. In that situation, how could Your Majesty save me?"
Rong Pei never doubted how good Ruyi was to her. Even though others found everything Ruyi did to her unbearable, Rong Pei felt that Ruyi was right.
Ruyi seemed relieved to be sure that Rong Pei would not pursue her faults. She forced a smile.
"Again. There is nothing you can't talk about with me."
What Ruyi said this time was obviously more sincere than before.
Rong Pei took advantage of the pain in her body to bow.
"Your Majesty, I feel uneasy about Che Ling's insistence on meeting the Fifth Prince today.
Our twelfth prince is the legitimate son. In the past, the emperor loved the fourth prince the most, but now there is a fifth prince."
Rong Pei carefully observed Ruyi's expression, and Ruyi seemed to be lost in thought.
Rong Pei continued:
"Even though the Fifth Prince cannot speak, we have all seen his abilities and thoughts."
"The Fifth and Fourth Princes are now grown up, and the Fifth Prince is kept by the Empress's side every day. This servant has to say a few more words.
After all, the Fifth Prince is still a Prince."
The emperor waited quietly. At first, the deep master-servant relationship between Rong Pei and Ruyi seemed boring to the emperor.
The two mentioned Yongqi, and the emperor also had his own thoughts.
The emperor had thought about this matter countless times, and now he wanted to hear whether Ruyi loved her son more or was also concerned about Yongqi.
"Yongqi is intelligent and filial. Although he has some shortcomings, it is not necessarily a terminal illness. I don't know when there will be a turnaround."
"If the emperor appoints Yongqi as the crown prince, it will be a good thing."
Ruyi said this while fiddling with the teacup in her hand.
"I will be happy if my prince and princess can become a rich and noble prince or princess in the future."
"Does your Majesty really think so?"
What Ruyi said didn't seem to be what Rong Pei wanted to hear. Her words were full of doubt.
Ruyi pursed her lips and smiled.
"Exactly."
The emperor had no time to figure out what Ruyi was thinking and why she said such a thing. He just felt relieved and asked someone to inform Ruyi.
As soon as the emperor entered, Ruyi greeted him with a smile.
"The emperor just saw Jingsi coming over before returning to the palace. How can he be so partial to her?"
Jinzhong followed the emperor and heard Ruyi's trick of painting herself green to look younger, which was an eyesore.
The emperor already has an unshaven beard, how can Ruyi look young?
It would be fine if Ruyi was just pretending to be coquettish, but she even used her own daughter's name to seek favor here.
Was Ruyi talking about Jingsi? No, Ruyi was waiting for the emperor to say, I didn’t come just for Jingsi, but for the Queen.
Unfortunately, the emperor did not say such nice words to coax Ruyi.
"Jingsi is cute, so naturally she is liked by others."
Ruyi pouted secretly, as if she was not satisfied with the emperor not agreeing with her.
Finally disappointed, Ruyi could only say to the emperor:
"Your Majesty, it's getting late and the princess needs to go to bed. I will wait for Your Majesty to settle down."
The emperor came to see the princess but didn't want to stay overnight, but Ruyi asked, and the emperor didn't want to refuse. He nodded and agreed.
But the emperor couldn't sleep well that night. For some reason, he seemed to like Ruyi less.
At midnight, the emperor had just turned over when he heard Ruyi mumbling.
"Aunt. Aunt. What else do you want me to do?"
