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

Yangxindian

Hongli stood in front of the map of the Qing Dynasty, his hands behind his back, and said, "Jingqin, you did a great job in getting an audience with the Mongolian princes. They praised you highly."

Jingqin stood behind Hongli and said with a smile, "I am merely following the example. I am following precedent. The Mongolian nobles came to see me this time because they wanted to see the emperor's kindness."

Hongli nodded and said, "I should have arranged this audience with the Mongolian princes myself, but I couldn't leave, so I had to entrust it to you. Fortunately, you didn't let me down."

Jingqin: "I know that the Emperor is overwhelmed by worldly affairs and has no time to spare. I also want to share his worries."

Hongli changed the subject and asked, "Jingqin, have you heard about what's going on in the harem? What are people saying outside the palace?"

Jingqin was a little confused and replied, "Are you referring to the matter between Guard Ling and the Imperial Concubine?"

Hongli nodded gravely and said, "You are the only one who dares to speak so frankly about this matter. Jingqin, I just want to know what people outside the palace are saying about this matter."

Hongli: Especially the Mongolian princes and nobles. They must know what happened between Ling Yunche and Ruyi in Mulan Paddock.

Jingqin: "There was some discussion at first, but thankfully the Emperor handled it properly, so people outside the palace thought it was just a rumor."

Hongli was surprised and turned around to ask, "Really? I thought that dealing with Ruyi and Ling Yunche would cause more rumors."

Jingqin: "Fortunately, the Emperor did not severely punish the Imperial Noble Consort, nor did he demote her. Outsiders thought it was just a small matter."

Hongli breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how long he had endured before he didn't demote Ruyi. If he hadn't cared about his reputation, he would have demoted the fool Ruyi to a concubine long ago!

Hongli continued to ask, "Is there no discussion outside the palace about my punishment of Ling Yunche?"

Jingqin was a little embarrassed to speak, but she still said, "Yes, the Emperor said that Guard Ling stole the palace property, which is too far-fetched. However, people outside the palace think that it was Ling Yunche who was committing treason and coveting the Imperial Concubine."

Hongli, however, looked calm and asked, "Is there no discussion about Ling Yunche being castrated by me?"

Jingqin was somewhat speechless after hearing this, and asked with a complicated expression, "Your Majesty, are you referring to Guard Ling...? I haven't heard of this rumor..."

Hongli felt comfortable, nodded with satisfaction, and gave Jinzhong a look of approval.

Of course, Jingqin also followed Hongli's gaze and saw Jinzhong. She couldn't understand why Jinzhong had been so hostile to Ling Yunche in both of his lives and had to turn him into a eunuch.

Hongli saw Jingqin's complicated expression and asked, "Jingqin?"

Jingqin was lost in thought when she heard the words and came to her senses. She replied, "Father Your Majesty, I am here."

Hongli understood and asked, "Do you think my actions are inappropriate?"

How could Jingqin dare to say that Hongli was wrong? She could only say tactfully, "The Emperor thinks that the Imperial Noble Consort is always too close to men outside the family and wants to punish her. I am an outsider and it is not appropriate for me to say anything too much."

But turning Ling Yunche into a eunuch is too much. I am worried that the emperor has fallen into a state of demonic obsession. If you use Ling Yunche to torture the imperial concubine, isn't that also torturing yourself?

Do you think you will feel better if the Imperial Concubine looks at Ling Yunche like this every day?"

Hongli suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "Jingqin, you are the only one in this palace who dares to advise me like this. I understand what you mean."

Wang Qin came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is here."

Seeing this, Jingqin bowed and said, "Father Your Majesty, I will take my leave now."

Hongli nodded and said, "Well, Jingqin, you go back first. Jinzhong, go see Jingqin off."

Jinzhong: “Yeah.”

Hongli asked Wang Qin, "Why did Concubine Rong come to the Yangxin Palace? Please invite her in quickly."

Jingqin took her leave and just happened to pass by Han Xiangjian who was coming in. Han Xiangjian was a little surprised and looked up at Jingqin's receding figure.

Han Xiangjian came in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Hongli said happily, "Xiangjian, it's rare that you are willing to come to the Yangxin Palace."

Han Xiangjian said coldly, "Your Majesty shouldn't treat the Imperial Concubine like this."

Hongli's face froze, and he asked, "Are you here in the Yangxin Palace because of the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Han Xiangjian acted as if she hadn't heard anything and continued, "Your Majesty shouldn't have suspected the Imperial Noble Consort, shouldn't have harshly punished Guard Ling without asking any questions, and definitely shouldn't have sent the punished Guard Ling to serve in the Imperial Noble Consort's palace."

Hongli said calmly, "This is not your business. The Imperial Noble Consort wanted you to be unable to have children, yet you still protect her like this."

Han Xiangjian said frankly, "I am unable to bear children because of my own will. The Emperor doesn't want to be angry with me, so he takes his anger out on the Imperial Noble Consort."

Hongli said sternly: "Xiangjian, don't let your temper lead you to speak nonsense. If the Imperial Noble Consort understood her own status, she should have personally ordered the execution of Ling Yunche.

"It stopped the rumors and cleared my name. Although the Imperial Concubine is not the Empress Dowager, she cannot behave inappropriately and cause criticism."

Han Xiangjian said calmly, “The Emperor is so angry, is it because of his own face, or is it because he cares about the Imperial Concubine and does not allow others to admire him?

I have spent a lot of time with His Majesty, and have watched him coldly for a long time. If His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine were heartless to each other, how could they have become estranged? His Majesty cares, so he is bothered.

Hongli couldn't bear to hear this and whispered, "Xiangjian, stop talking."

Han Xiangjian: "Even if I don't say it, Your Majesty will think about it himself. Your Majesty is so infatuated with me because he knows that no matter how you indulge yourself, the Imperial Noble Consort will never leave you."

Hongli nodded and said, "Yes. Even though the world is unpredictable, I once had a sincere Ruyi. But could Ruyi's heart slowly turn to a lowly and humble man?"

Han Xiangjian asked, "Does the Emperor no longer believe the Imperial Concubine before him?"

Hongli said in a deep voice, "The only thing I can be sure of is what happened back then. Ever since I became the Emperor, everyone around me has changed."

Han Xiangjian: "Has the sincerity and sincerity of the past disappeared now? The emperor sent Ling Yunche to the eaves of Jingren Palace. Why did he send him? What did he want to see? The emperor is confused. I will take my leave."

Hongli looked at Han Xiangjian's receding figure and asked in a low voice, "Wang Qin, am I wrong? Why did Xiangjian and Jingqin come to persuade me?"

Wang Qin consoled him, "Your Majesty, I think Princess Yongle is right. Will you feel better if you torture the Imperial Noble Consort like this?"

Hongli said with a lost look: "I don't know what's wrong with me. I always want to reconcile with Ruyi, but every time I see Ruyi's look, I can't help but get angry."

Wang Qin advised, "In the final analysis, the Emperor is still too concerned about the Imperial Noble Consort. The Emperor must have long seen that the Imperial Noble Consort is no longer the same as she once was, Princess Qingying."

Hongli sighed and said, "Yes, although Qingying was proud and stubborn in the past, she has never been so stubborn and rebellious. I don't know when Qingying changed."

Wang Qin sighed and said, "I grew up with the emperor, so I can see things more clearly from the sidelines. It's not so much that Princess Qingying has changed, but rather that your decades of favoritism and partiality have made her increasingly arrogant and paranoid.

In the past, whether Princess Qingying contradicted Fu Jin or you, you never cared. Every time Princess Qingying got into trouble, you lifted her up high and put her down gently.

This is the unruly Qingying Princess, who doesn't distinguish between high and low, and is overbearing. Think about it, if Qingying Princess is really so self-disciplined, how did you get to know her back then?"

Hongli was stunned and couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Wang Qin continued, "Your Majesty, Princess Qingying has always had this personality. Rather than saying that Princess Qingying has changed, it's more accurate to say that Your Majesty has changed."

Hongli was hit in the vitals by Wang Qin's attack and could not calm down for a long time.

long street

As they walked, Jingqin asked, "You were the one who suggested Ling Yunche's matter, right?"

Jinzhong pretended to be dumb and said, "Princess, what are you talking about? I don't know anything about this."

Jingqin stopped and said with a half-smile, "Do you think I'm a fool? I grew up by the Emperor's side. How could he come up with such a sinister idea?"

Jinzhong saw that he couldn't hide it from Jingqin, so he could only smile and say, "The Emperor was furious, but he was worried about his reputation and couldn't punish the Imperial Concubine severely, so I came up with this idea."

Jingqin sneered, "Jinzhong, I advise you, the emperor's personal eunuch should stay out of the harem. How dare you come up with such a sinister idea? If the emperor gets wind of it, you'll be the first one to be skinned alive!"

Jinzhong felt Jingqin's words were amiss and quickly coaxed her, "Princess, I am speaking up for you. The Emperor has insulted the Empress for the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine still dares to change her mind, and I am doing this to vent your anger."

Upon hearing this, Jingqin couldn't help but scold angrily, "You want me to vent my anger? You don't think I can't do anything to the Imperial Concubine, do you? And I have to let you vent my anger?

I keep the Imperial Concubine because she is very useful! I will avenge my mother (and myself) myself! There is no need for you to do anything unnecessary.

Jinzhong didn't expect that his flattery would backfire, so he could only keep coaxing Jingqin.

Jingqin is no longer the Wei Yanwan who depended on Jinzhong in her previous life. She will not listen to Jinzhong's sweet words just because she needs Jinzhong to do something.

Jingqin left the palace with a gloomy face.

Jinzhong could only stand there and regret.

Princess Yongle's Mansion

Jingqin returned to the princess's mansion and saw Zhuer and Abai sitting in the main hall watching Qingyou, Mianzhao and Mianyin having fun. Her expression relaxed and she walked into the hall.

Zhuer and Abai also saw Jingqin's anger when she came in, but seeing that Jingqin looked calm, they didn't ask any more questions.

When Wei Yanwan saw Jingqin coming back, she hurried out to serve the meal.

Jingqin picked up Qingyou and pinched his face. After asking what the tutor had taught him today, she kissed Qingyou and put him down.

Then Jingqin held Mian Yin in her left hand and Mian Zhao in her right hand, and asked in a gentle voice about the tutor's teachings today.

Mian Yin answered clearly, and Mian Zhao, though a little confused, also answered. Jing Qin kissed the two sisters and prepared to eat.

Zhuer and Abai sat on either side of Jingqin, Mianzhao sat next to Zhuer, Mianyin sat next to Abai, and Qingyou sat facing Jingqin. The six of them had their meal in harmony.

Jingqin seems to be lost in thought, Zhuer is not very scheming and has a shallow mind, while Abai is thoughtful but has a good character.

Jinzhong is quite scheming and has sinister tactics. He has also lived in the harem for many years. Even if Zhuer and Abai were tied together, they would probably not be a match for Jinzhong...

Jingqin sighed and decided not to think too much about it for now. She hadn't ascended the throne yet, so why bother thinking so much?
