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

In the Emperor's Tent at Mulan Paddock

Hongli sat on the couch, listening to Jingqin's chatter.

Jingqin: "Father, I have already ascertained that the assassin who abducted the Imperial Concubine is a remnant of the Junggar rebels and a close confidant of Dawachi. This assassination attempt was intended, firstly, to sow discord between the Qing and the Han tribe, and secondly, to take this opportunity to avenge Dawachi."

Hongli frowned and said, "An old subordinate of Dawachi? If he wants to avenge Dawachi, why would he come to the Imperial Concubine instead of me?"

Jingqin said awkwardly, "The assassin must have been looking for the Emperor. While the guards were at the banquet, he was lurking in the dark. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Concubine left early and happened to run into him."

Hongli:......

Hongli frowned and said, "The Imperial Noble Concubine should not come out recently. Why does she always cause so much trouble when she comes out?"

Jingqin was helpless. How could Hongli change his mind so quickly? Before, Ruyi hated everything, but Hongli loved her madly. Now that Ruyi has returned to normal, Hongli has become disgusted with her.

Jingqin didn't respond.

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Jingqin, you've been tired all day, go back and rest first."

Jingqin: "Yes, I will take my leave."

Mulan Qiumi's life also ended in failure because of this assassination.

……

Gyeongin Palace

Ruyi sat sideways on the couch, supporting her head with her hands, feeling drowsy.

Rong Pei picked up the fruit plate and walked forward, dissatisfied, "Assassinating the Imperial Concubine is such a serious crime, but it ended so abruptly."

Ruyi closed her eyes and said calmly, "The assassin committed suicide on the spot. The Emperor has no evidence to prove who sent the assassin."

Rong Pei: "Your Majesty, you have suffered so much injustice, I am really distressed. Since you returned to the palace, the emperor has never come to Jingren Palace to see you.

Your Majesty, are you still going to continue to stalemate with the Emperor? When a couple is at odds, the wife is always the one who gets hurt.”

Ruyi said hoarsely, "I know what you're talking about, but the Emperor is no longer the same person I knew. Even if we meet, what good will it do?"

Rong Pei was helpless. Isn't this still unknown?

……

In the evening, Ruyi sat at the table again, reading the Book of Songs, reciting: "When we grow old together, old age will make me resentful. The Qi River has banks, the marshes have banks. At the feast of the children, we talked and laughed happily. We made promises, without thinking of the consequences."

Rong Pei brought up tea and asked curiously, "What is the Queen reading?"

Ruyi put the book down and whispered, "It's a story from the Book of Songs. It turns out that even the deep love of youth can lead to mutual dislike. Love from ancient times to the present is universal. How can we grow old together with those who are so cold and indifferent?"

Rong Pei simply couldn't understand why Ruyi was so sad. She refused to take the way out given by the emperor, and she was unwilling to bow her head and go to the emperor.

Even if it was a love born of youth, it should be a mutual sacrifice. She had served Ruyi for so long, and she had never seen Ruyi bow her head a few times? Now that the emperor stopped coaxing her, she couldn't stand it?

Rong Pei casually said, "Even if they hate each other, they can still grow old together. Isn't that the case for many people?"

Ruyi said hoarsely, "If we grow old together like this, what's the point of having him?"

Rong Pei didn't know what to say. This didn't work, and that didn't work. Are you looking for a husband or a son?

Kunning Palace Guards' Wing

Ling Yunche flipped through the yellow jacket in his hand.

A colleague saw this and asked in confusion, "Ling Yunche, you saved the Imperial Noble Consort, so the Emperor and the Imperial Noble Consort rewarded you with a yellow jacket? Didn't they say anything else?"

Ling Yunche said blankly: "No?"

A colleague nudged Ling Yunche's shoulder and said, "At worst, why don't you ask for it? You saved the Imperial Concubine. You could even ask the Emperor for a marriage. You don't even have a wife right now, and my son is already a helper."

Ling Yunche was a little timid and said, "Let's talk about it later."

The colleague was helpless, patted Ling Yunche on the shoulder, and left.

Royal Garden

A camellia tree in the garden was in bloom. Han Xiangjian stood alone under the tree, touching the camellia flowers.

Ruyi passed by Han Xiangjian and saw Han Xiangjian's actions, so she slowly walked forward.

Han Xiangjian seemed to sense something, and turning to see Ruyi, she saluted properly and said, "Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi smiled faintly and nodded.

Rong Pei behind him asked in surprise, "Master Rong has learned the etiquette of the palace?"

Han Xiangjian argued, "This is not a courtesy, this is a respect for the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come out."

Han Xiangjian said softly: "Even if I have to be trapped here for the rest of my life, I have to see what it's like to be imprisoned in my own cage."

Ruyi nodded and said, "It seems that you have adapted to life in the palace."

Han Xiangjian: "Have you adapted to the status of Noble Lady Rong? I heard that with the Emperor's current favor, I will sooner or later ascend to the position of concubine, or even imperial consort, right?

I will not conceal from you that when I wear these clothes and perform these rituals, I am thinking only of the people I wish to think of.”

Ruyi: "Xiangjian, if this is the case, you can only tell me."

Han Xiangjian nodded and said, "I know, because in this place, you are the only one who sincerely persuaded me to survive and take care of the people behind me.

After all, you advised me this way for the sake of the Emperor, but in the end, the only bit of sincerity in this palace was given to me by you. Han Xiangjian will remember this kindness in her heart and will repay you one day.

Ruyi smiled and nodded to Han Xiangjian. The two of them admired the flowers together for a while and then parted ways.

Gyeongin Palace

Ling Yunche hesitated for a long time, but finally found an opportunity to enter Jingren Palace.

When Ling Yunche asked for a meeting, Ruyi was playing with the armor on her hand out of boredom.

Rong Pei hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, Guard Ling wishes to see you."

Ruyi was surprised and said, "Ling Yunche? Please invite him in."

Ling Yunche came in, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi waved her hand and said, "Please sit down, Ling Yunche. Why did you suddenly come to see me? Is there something wrong?"

Ling Yunche opened his mouth, but felt embarrassed.

Ruyi asked sympathetically, "Ling Yunche? Is there something bothering you?"

Ling Yunche hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, can I ask you to grant me a marriage?"

Ruyi's smile froze on her face, and she asked in disbelief, "Do you have someone you like?"

Ling Yunche scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I don't have anyone I like, so I want the Royal Concubine to arrange a marriage for me. The Royal Concubine will never make a mistake in her choice."

Although Ruyi felt much better after hearing this, she was still a little impatient.

Ruyi waved her hand and said, "I understand. You can go back first. I will arrange a marriage for you when I find someone suitable."

Ling Yunche said in surprise: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine!"

Ruyi, however, was not in a good mood. She nodded calmly and said, "You can go back first. I will find a way."

Ling Yunche was still too naive. He believed Ruyi's words and left happily.

Ever since Ling Yunche left, Ruyi couldn't keep the smile on her face and sat on the couch in a depressed mood.

Rong Pei and Jin Xin went in and out, as if they didn't notice that Ruyi was in a bad mood.
