Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome

Baoyue Building

Han Xiangjian sat blankly in front of the dressing table, tears streaming down her face.

Cining Palace

Fujia asked, "Queen Mother, do you know who will sleep with you tonight?"

The Queen Mother asked curiously, "Is there anything new?"

Fujia: "It's Noble Lady Rong, from the Han family."

The Queen Mother had anticipated this and said calmly, "The Emperor has finally given her a title."

Fujia sighed, "She only gave it to the noble lady, not the concubine or consort title. This is already giving face to the concubines in the six palaces."

The Empress Dowager said disdainfully, "What face? The Emperor's character is becoming increasingly stubborn, and no one can change it. Now that Concubine Rong has entered the emperor's bedchamber, if she becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child, the entire harem will be turned upside down."

Yangxindian

Hongli sat cross-legged on the bed, while Jinzhong and the others carried Han Xiangjian in, put her down, and left. Hongli reached out to open the quilt, revealing Han Xiangjian's tearful face.

Hongli comforted him, "Don't be afraid, and don't worry. From now on, I will treat you and your people well."

Hongli reached out to wipe away Han Xiangjian's tears, but Han Xiangjian turned her face away.

Jingren Palace Courtyard

Everyone was waiting in the yard as usual, chattering about what happened yesterday.

Lu Muping: "I heard that Han was in bed last night."

Bai Ruiji: "Yes, I heard that too."

E Yinzhu was outspoken and said bluntly, "With the emperor acting this way, it's a foregone conclusion that Han will sleep with him."

When Meiruo was reprimanded by Jingqin, E Yinzhu also came, but E Yinzhu did not come to mock her. Instead, she praised Yingbin and said that Yingbin had the demeanor of a Mongolian woman.

Yingpin and Kepin no longer have such a strong prejudice against Yufei, and they can get along well in the palace. They are all Mongolian concubines, so what's the point of fighting among themselves?

Meiruo whispered, "Yes, who can refuse?"

Kepin shook Meiruo and called out, "Sister Yingpin, look."

All the concubines turned around to look, and saw Han Xiangjian coming in changed into a moon-white palace dress. Guli and Hari behind her also changed into palace dresses. At first glance, it was truly a prosperous spring scene with hundreds of flowers in full bloom.

Rong Pei opened the curtain and came out, saying, "The Imperial Noble Consort has risen. Please come in, ladies and gentlemen."

Inside Jingren Palace

Everyone bowed and said, "Your servants pay their respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi nodded and said, "Everyone, please stand up. Concubine Rong has also arrived. Please take a seat."

Han Xiangjian bowed stiffly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Han Xiangjian then sat down. Because of her low status, she could only sit at the back.

Ruyi said calmly, "Things have come to this. No matter what happened in the past, we should live in harmony with each other as concubines. Concubine Rong comes from a remote area, and her customs are different from ours, Manchu, Mongolian and Han. We should be more tolerant of each other."

Everyone: "I understand."

Ruyi looked at Han Xiangjian and said, "Noble Lady Rong, if there is anything you don't understand in the palace, you can come and ask me."

Han Xiangjian nodded and said, "Yes, I have something to say and I want to talk to the Imperial Noble Consort alone."

The concubines' sympathy for Han Xiangjian disappeared in an instant, and they all turned their heads to glance at Han Xiangjian.

Ruyi said calmly, "You all should leave."

Ah Ruo was the first to stand up, rolled her eyes, and turned away. Everyone else followed suit.

The relationship between Concubine Ke, Concubine Ying and Ruyi was quite harmonious. They said, "I'm leaving." before leaving.

The other concubines did not give Ruyi this face and left early. If it were not for the customary requirement that the newlyweds meet with the concubines on their first night with the emperor, they would not have come.

Seeing that everyone had left, Ruyi let Rong Pei go down, and Jinxin stepped forward and led Han Xiangjian to the front to sit down.

Ruyi smiled and said, "When I put on this dress, I really look like a concubine."

Han Xiangjian nodded and said, "Thank you, Royal Noble Consort."

Ruyi smiled and stabbed the hardest knife, saying calmly, "Since you've started serving the emperor, you'll inevitably have to interact with the people in the palace. If you don't like them, just ignore them."

Han Xiangjian said sadly: "I will abide by the rules for you because you taught me. Only you would say those words to me.

In fact, I have never understood why you would try to persuade a woman who is obsessed with your husband? Didn't you want me to leave the palace in the first place?

Han Xiangjian always remembered that when she first arrived at the palace, only Ruyi spoke a fair word for her and wanted her to leave the palace. She always remembered it.

Ruyi's smile faded as she said, "I am the Imperial Noble Consort of the Qing Dynasty. I must obey and shoulder responsibilities."

Han Xiangjian asked, "That young man you once told me about, is he the emperor?"

Ruyi was puzzled and said, "Of course."

Han Xiangjian: "Compared to me, at least your young man is still alive. Life will always have a turning point. Unlike Han Qi and I, we are separated forever. I will never be able to find him again."

Ruyi took a breath and said, "Even if I can never find your Han Qi again, he will always be the most beautiful one in your heart. My young man..."

Before they knew it, the two love-brained people started competing in misery again.

Ruyi sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Don't you have something to tell me?"

Han Xiangjian nodded and asked, "My Lady Imperial Concubine, at this point, there is something I cannot help but make plans for."

Ruyi asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Han Xiangjian asked, "Even if I sleep with you, how can I avoid getting pregnant?"

Ruyi was a little surprised, and the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.

Yangxindian

Jinzhong served tea and flattered, "Your Majesty, you look so cheerful and happy on this happy occasion."

Hongli was in a very good mood and said with a smile, "Don't give me random compliments. How is Concubine Rong today?"

Jinzhong flattered, "Very good. Not only did he change into palace attire, he also went to pay his respects to the Imperial Noble Consort."

Hongli nodded and said, "Very good. Go ahead, I will go to Baoyue Tower to see Concubine Rong."

Jinzhong: “Yeah.”

Once Hongli went to Baoyue Tower, he stayed there for more than three months.

Fortunately, almost everyone in the harem has a child. Although they are also resentful, they are not so eager for the emperor's favor. The only anxious concubine, Concubine Yu, is forced by Jingqin to do odd jobs.

Only Ruyi was uneasy. This was the longest time she had been out of favor since she entered the palace, except for being sent to the cold palace. She was not the queen, so there was no rule that she had to come on the first and fifteenth days of the month. Hongli had not summoned her for more than half a year.

But Hongli has gone crazy. These days he has been busy looking for treasures to send to Baoyue Tower. How could he care about the complaints from the harem?

The Empress Dowager could no longer sit still. As the Empress Dowager, Ruyi could ignore the harem, but she could not, otherwise the history books would not know how to blame her!

The Empress Dowager thought about it and summoned Ruyi.

Cining Palace

Ruyi came in and bowed to the Queen Mother, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

The Queen Mother was pruning the saxaul flowers.

Ruyi asked, "Is the Queen Mother tending to the saxaul flowers?"

The Queen Mother nodded and said with a double meaning, "This flower is not suitable for growing in the palace, so prune it. I have only heard that Emperor Xuanzong of Tang died many horses while delivering lychees to Yang Guifei over a thousand miles.

Now, when it comes to the emperor, he actually plays the same trick: a red-dusted concubine smiles, and no one knows it is Zaohua. It is really a strange story.

Ruyi lowered her head and said, "It is my incompetence."

The Queen Mother angrily scolded: "The Emperor has lost his mind and has been bewitched by Han. I can't stop Han from entering the palace, nor can I stop her from sleeping with me. I originally saw her rejecting the Emperor.

I thought the emperor would give up and give up this idea. But now, Han has already taken up his bed.

Have you ever thought about what will happen if Han has children in the future, since the emperor is so obsessed and has entered into a demonic state?

Ruyi blinked and didn't dare to agree.

Ruyi helped the Queen Mother sit down.

The Queen Mother said, "Please sit down. The Emperor is so obsessed with Han Shi now. What if he loses his mind and does something even more outrageous in the future? I cannot sit idly by and watch."

Ruyi asked, "What is the Queen Mother's plan?"

The Queen Mother called out, "Fujia."

Fujia came in with a pot of soup, placed it on the table, and said, "Empress Dowager, everything is ready."

The Queen Mother said coldly, "Let Han drink it and put an end to it."

Ruyi blinked, looked at the soup on the table, and asked in a hoarse voice, "I know that the Queen Mother did this for the Emperor's reputation, but to rashly harm Concubine Rong's life like this, doesn't it hurt the Emperor's heart?"

The Empress Dowager hadn't expected Ruyi to be even more ruthless. She sneered, "I know the Emperor loves Han. I don't want her life, I just don't want her to have a child and provoke the Emperor to become even more willful."

Ruyi said hoarsely, "My Queen Mother, you know very well that if you do this, the Emperor will hate me."

The Empress Dowager sneered, "When you persuaded Han to spare the Emperor's life, it was the Emperor who forced you to do so, using the responsibilities of a Royal Concubine as a pretext. I'm forcing you to do the same today."

Because you are now the master of the six palaces, it is your responsibility to stabilize the harem. So this is my idea, but I can only let you personally serve it and watch her drink it. "

Ruyi said in a hoarse voice, "Letting Concubine Rong drink this bowl of medicine is in line with the Empress Dowager's wishes and reassures the concubines, but it is greatly against the Emperor's wishes.

"I must obey the Emperor, and I also cannot disobey the Empress Dowager. There is no other way except to face this dilemma."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "As the Imperial Consort, you should listen to what you should listen to and do what you should do."

Outside Cining Palace

Ruyi came out, and Rong Pei was holding a soup bowl.

Rong Pei, seemingly trying to persuade her, actually fanned the flames, saying, "The Imperial Concubine doesn't want Concubine Rong to drink this? Your Majesty, Concubine Rong begged you before, saying she didn't want to have children either. Since the Empress Dowager has this intention, why don't you grant Concubine Rong's wish?"

Ruyi said nothing and took her people to Baoyue Tower.
