I just want to live a happy life

Soon, the imperial carriage arrived in Shandong, and after climbing Mount Tai, Korchin's proposal of marriage occurred.

The emperor was very hesitant about this matter. Korchin wanted to marry a legitimate princess. Apart from Jingse, the daughter of the queen, there was the queen mother's daughter, Princess Hengti.

He and the Queen only had this one child, and the Queen Mother had already married off one of her daughters far away, so he really couldn't bear to let his sister Hengti marry far away.

I am hesitating between two people and cannot make a decision.

After the Queen and the Queen Mother knew about this, they each used various tricks to keep their daughters. The Queen had always been respectful and filial to the Queen Mother, but this time, for the sake of her daughter, she boldly disobeyed the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother tried every possible method, but still failed to make the Emperor make up his mind.

The Emperor, the Empress, and the Queen Mother have all been in a bad mood because of this matter, and the remaining concubines did not want to interfere in such a major event as the princess's marriage. They have been quiet for a while, for fear of attracting the attention of their three masters.

But there is one exception, and that is Ruyi.

Ruyi believes that she is the person who understands the emperor the best, and cannot bear to see him in such a difficult situation, so she plans to help him accomplish this task. However,惢心, who is by her side, disagrees, and thinks it is better not to get involved in such a big event.

But Ruyi didn't listen.

惢心 couldn't persuade Ruyi, so she could only follow Ruyi to the Queen Mother.

Ruyi still came up with a solution, which was for the Queen Mother to get all the court officials to advocate that Princess Hengti marry far away. Of course, Fucha did not want to increase the Queen Mother's power in Mongolia, so she persuaded the Queen to let Princess Jingse marry far away.

As for the emperor, although Hengti is his sister, she is closest to the empress dowager. If Hengti marries far away, the power she controls in Khorchin will naturally belong to the empress dowager. Wouldn't he, the emperor, be inferior?

So the emperor would definitely agree to Jingse marrying far away.

This idea was indeed good. The Queen Mother agreed and actively promoted it. The Emperor actually planned to marry Princess Jingse.

But how could Wei Yanwan let Ruyi do something behind the scenes without letting the emperor and the empress know?

Don't think that she doesn't know that Ruyi really wanted Princess Jingse to marry far away to share the burden of the Emperor. It was just out of selfish motives, to avenge the incident with Linglingxiang.

But Wei Yanwan did not feel sorry for the queen. After all, she did not do it, and she also hated the queen. Of course, she was happy to see her suffer.

Soon, Wei Yanwan spread what Ruyi had done, and the Queen soon found out.

She was so angry that she immediately asked Su Lian to tell Ruyi that she wanted to see her.

This time, the queen was given a sterilization drug early in the morning, so she did not give birth to Yongcong, and her body was not at the point of being exhausted.

But her health is not good for sure. After all, she has been drinking pregnancy-maintaining medicine for so many years, and all medicines are poisonous. Moreover, there are so many troubles in the palace. Coupled with the recent proposal of marriage, her health has not been very good.

Soon, Ruyi arrived.

The queen said sternly: "Kneel down!"

Ruyi looked at the queen with a stubborn face and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? I have done nothing wrong."

The Queen didn't bother to explain to her. She called out to Su Lian, and then Su Lian forced Ruyi to kneel down. As for Rong Pei, who was beside Ruyi, she blocked her outside the door and didn't let her in.

The Queen said, "What does such a big thing as a marriage have to do with you? Who asked you to interfere? It is because of you that Jingse married far away. I will not let you go."

I just wanted to call Su Lian, but Su Lian’s strength was not as good as Zhao Yita’s, so I decided to let Zhao Yita fight.

"Zhao Yitai, beat me. Stop only when I say so. Let her remember this lesson well."

As soon as Fu Cha Langya finished speaking, Zhao Yitai walked in front of Ruyi. Under Ruyi's horrified gaze, Zhao Yitai slapped Ruyi in the face without mercy.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

The sound never stops.

Soon, Ruyi's cheeks turned red and blood came from the corners of her mouth. She was beaten again and her face was smashed. The Queen looked at Ruyi with hatred and had no intention of asking Zhao Yitai to stop.

Rong Pei, who was outside, heard the noise and ran away immediately. She planned to call the emperor to save her master.

When the Emperor heard about the Queen scolding Ruyi, he rushed over. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Ruyi still being beaten. Ruyi's face was no longer reputable.

Her face was smashed and bloody, with no intact flesh left.

The emperor said, "Stop it."

Zhao Yita glanced at the queen, and when he saw that she had no intention of objecting, he stopped.

Ruyi could no longer hold on and was about to fall to the ground, but Rong Pei supported her and prevented her from hitting the ground.

The emperor said, "Queen, what are you doing?"

The Queen's eyes were red. "Your Majesty, it was Concubine Xian who came up with the idea that caused our Jingse to marry far away. Shouldn't I teach her a lesson?"

Now, the emperor was silent. To be honest, he was also angry. Jingse was his daughter, so how could he not feel sad to see her marrying far away?

But it is one thing for him to want Jingse to marry far away, and it is another thing for others to plot against Jingse to marry far away.

Before, Ruyi kept saying that she would not plot against him, but now, she still plotted against him.

Maybe in Ruyi's heart, she doesn't like him at all.

The current emperor is controlled by Wei Yanwan, and so many things have happened in the palace because of Ruyi, so his feelings for Ruyi are no longer the same as before.

Now seeing Ruyi's miserable appearance after being beaten, he didn't feel sorry at all, he just thought she deserved it.

So he didn't say anything on Ruyi's behalf in response to the Queen's accusation.

He just said, "What is the Queen going to do?"

The queen gnashed her teeth in hatred and said: "Execute Concubine Xian."

Ruyi was now dizzy from the beating. When she heard the Queen say that she wanted to execute her, she came to her senses a little and looked at the Emperor hopefully, hoping that he would not agree to the Queen's agreement.

Of course the Emperor would not agree to the Queen's request. Although Ruyi had done something wrong, her crime was not punishable by death.

So the emperor said, "There is no need to execute her. How about demoting her to a concubine, reciting the palace rules a hundred times, and kneeling for three hours every day for three months?"

The Queen understood that this was the Emperor's bottom line, so she didn't say anything else. But she wouldn't let it go. Ruyi, don't even think about having an easy time.

As for Ruyi, she had a heartbroken expression. She looked at the emperor with disappointment. In her opinion, she had helped the emperor solve the marriage issue. The emperor should thank her. How could he punish her?

Moreover, the punishment was so severe. She is still the head of a palace now. If she becomes a concubine, then what face would she have? How could the emperor treat her like this?

How could the emperor be so cruel?

But no matter how Ruyi looked at the emperor with resentful eyes, the emperor did not look at Ruyi, but had someone take Ruyi away directly.

Staying here any longer would really hurt my eyes.

The emperor comforted the queen and said that even if Jingse married into Khorchin, he would build a princess mansion in the capital and let Jingse come back to live often, and would not let Jingse stay in Khorchin forever.
