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

Gyeongin Palace

Ruyi lay down on the couch, and Rong Pei sat on the footstool to massage her legs.

Rong Pei: "What does His Majesty mean by ordering the play 'Wall Horse' today? I thought I was going to perform with His Majesty in front of Ling Yunche, but I didn't expect His Majesty to leave like this."

Ruyi closed her eyes and did not answer. Her mind was filled with every memory of her past with Hongli, and a tear ran down her face.

On the second day, Hongli and Ruyi had breakfast. After eating, Hongli rinsed his mouth and wiped his hands.

Hongli said calmly, "Royal Consort, I have something to tell you. Someone in your palace is dishonest and needs a thorough investigation."

Ruyi had anticipated this and said in a hoarse voice, "Who is the emperor referring to?"

Hongli said casually, "Ling Yunche stole one of my most precious treasures from Jingren Palace. Wang Qin, from now on, send little Lingzi to the cleaning department and serve as the lowest-ranking eunuch."

Wang Qin: “Yeah.”

Hongli glanced at Ruyi and asked, "You are so calm, why don't you ask me for mercy?"

Ruyi glanced at Hongli and said in a hoarse voice, "Will my plea be of any use? The Emperor transferred Ling Yunche away. Did he find this drama boring?"

Hongli sneered, "It's indeed boring, but I see you almost suffocated to death these past few days, which is quite interesting. I did this just out of kindness, just to prevent you from suffocating to death again."

Although Hongli let it go, he would not keep Ling Yunche in Jingren Palace. Although Ling Yunche could not do anything now, he could not keep a tiger to cause trouble.

Ruyi always likes to bow to eunuchs when she sees them, so she might be involved with Ling Yunche again. Hongli has no need to cheat on her.

Ruyi sat there in a daze, saying in a hoarse voice, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Hongli got up and left.

After Hongli left, Ruyi suddenly became angry, pouted, grabbed the chopsticks, and slammed them hard on the porcelain plate, smashing it into pieces.

Rong Pei was bewildered. She didn't know what was wrong with Ruyi. Wasn't she fine just now? Why did she suddenly get angry? For a moment, Rong Pei began to empathize with Hongli.

Sweeping area

The rain was pouring down. Ling Yunche, wearing a straw raincoat, resigned himself to picking up the broom on the ground.

I thought being a young eunuch was miserable enough, but I didn't expect that after being the chief eunuch for a few days, he would be demoted to the lowest-ranking cleaning eunuch. Is there anyone in the world more miserable than him?

Because of Jingqin's warning, Jinzhong didn't dare to take advantage of the situation. No one in the cleaning department paid any attention to Ling Yunche who had just arrived. When others heard that he came out of Jingren Palace, they all stayed away from him, fearing that Ling Yunche would ask them for money.

Gyeongin Palace

Rong Pei carefully served the soup and urged, "This is freshly cooked chestnut and potato puree soup. Your Majesty, please try it."

Ruyi sat on the couch with her eyes closed, listening to the sound of rain outside, and said in a hoarse voice, "I have no appetite."

Rong Pei was speechless. How shameless! She had such good things to give up, and she was not willing to live a good life, but was just asking for trouble. Today, the Emperor came to Jingren Palace for dinner, so the Imperial Kitchen prepared some good things and presented them to him.

Judging from the emperor's attitude, I'm afraid he won't come again in the future! I have no appetite for these soups now, and I can only have an appetite for plain porridge from now on!

Rong Pei took the soup away angrily and said, "If you don't want to eat it, I'll take it away and share it with you. It's better to keep it within the family."

Rong Pei said as she carried the paper, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Household Department has sent many people away from the palace these days, saying they are not serving you well enough, but they haven't said when they will send more people back. The Imperial Household Department doesn't dare to do this on its own, so it's probably the Emperor's idea."

Ruyi still closed her eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Just let him go."

Rong Pei couldn't let the emperor go on like this. At this rate, wouldn't she, Jin Xin, and San Bao have to do all the dirty work in the future? Rong Pei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Ruyi, however, remained motionless, sitting cross-legged on the couch in deep meditation. Rong Pei had no choice but to take her things and go downstairs.

Sweeping area

Although Ling Yunche's life was much harder than that of Jingren Palace, at least he didn't have to worry about his life all the time. Although he was physically tired, he was not mentally tired.

Ling Yunche had finished his work and was sitting under the eaves, munching on a white steamed bun.

Rong Pei stuck her head out and found that Ling Yunche was actually doing quite well in the cleaning department, so she walked over to him.

Rong Pei took out a pillow from her bosom and stuffed it into Ling Yunche's hand, explaining, "This pillow was made by the master. It's been a while since she made it, and she never found the chance to give it to you.

So she asked me to bring it to you. Every stitch and thread is her work, and the white chrysanthemums inside were also hand-picked by her.

Ling Yunche was originally munching on a steamed bun, but when he heard Rong Pei's words, he almost choked to death. He said in disgust, "Why does she always send these junks? She might as well send me a bowl of soup so I can eat it with the steamed bun."

Rong Pei said helplessly: "Her brain is different from others. Normal people can't understand it. This thing is at your disposal."

Ling Yunche: "Really?"

Rong Pei nodded.

After Ling Yunche finished eating the steamed bun, he wiped his hands solemnly and took it with both hands.

Rong Pei was surprised. You are really not afraid of death. You dare to keep it?

Ling Yunche took it and threw it to the ground, then stepped on the pillow with both feet and stomped on it several times.

Seeing Rong Pei's shocked expression, Ling Yunche asked in a friendly manner, "Do you want to join us?"

Rong Pei was greatly shocked and quickly waved her hands, saying, "I won't come. Jingren Palace is short of people, and I have to go back to work."

Ling Yunche did not suspect anything and continued to imagine the "Ruyi is a pillow" battle, punching and kicking the pillow given by Ruyi, muttering to himself as he beat her: "You vicious woman, go to hell" "You..."

Rong Pei couldn't bear to listen anymore and left in a hurry.

Royal Garden

The concubines were chattering about it.

Bai Ruiji: "Oh my god, it got hot all of a sudden."

Su Lujun: "In a few days, the emperor said he would take us to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and we can stay there for a while."

E Yinzhu: "Is this true? Is the person from Jingren Palace going?"

A Ruo: "She's been grounded for eight months, why would she go?"

E Yinzhu: "That's a shame~ Hahaha."

Old Summer Palace

The roof of Jiuzhou Qingyan Palace

Thunder roared down, and the roof caught fire. The palace servants took shelter under the corridor, and no one noticed.

Changchun Xianguan

Jingqin and Jingse were sitting opposite each other. When they heard the thunder, Jingqin stood up suddenly.

Jingse asked in confusion: "Big sister, why aren't you getting off?"

Jingqin: "Listen to the thunder, it sounds like something has struck."

Jingse: "Really? Why didn't I hear it?"

Jingqin didn't have time to explain to Jingse and hurried out. Sure enough, the roof of Jiuzhou Qingyan was already ablaze.

Jingqin could only rush to Jiuzhou Qingyan. Jingse also noticed something was wrong from behind and shouted, "Hurry up! Hurry up! Jiuzhou Qingyan is on fire!

Duanwu, go inform the guards to put out the fire. Chunchan, go inform Empress Chun and the others! The rest of you, follow me!"

It is autumn now, the weather is dry, and a thunderstorm caused a fire at Jiuzhou Qingyan. The palace servants were not prepared, and by the time Jingqin informed them, Jiuzhou Qingyan was already engulfed in flames.

Jingqin gritted her teeth, took off her cloak, picked up another cloak, wet it, and put it on before going in.

Fortunately, Jingqin arrived quickly. Although Hongli was blocked by the fallen eaves, he was still conscious.

Seeing Jingqin coming, Hongli's eyes were filled with the desire to survive, and he shouted: "Jingqin! I'm here!"

Jingqin was slender and easily passed through the fallen eaves. She put the extra cloak on Hongli, and the father and daughter ran out supporting each other.

Ru Gu Han Jin

Hongli, who had survived the ordeal, lay there gasping for breath. Su Lujun went to take care of the other concubines and princes, and A Ruo handed him some water.

Hongli waved his hand and asked, "Where's Jingqin?"

A Ruo: "Princess Yongle changed her clothes and went to direct her subordinates to put out the fire."

Hongli sighed, "A person's true character is revealed in times of crisis. Jingqin bravely rushed into the fire alone for me. She is truly brave and filial, and she has lived up to my years of teaching."

Ah Ruo nodded in agreement, "There was a thunderstorm and fire in Jiuzhou Qingyan. In a panic, I and others could only obey Sister Noble Concubine Chun. Fortunately, Princess Yongle was there."

Hongli sighed, "I've watched with cold eyes for many years. Jingqin is a person of noble character among the scholars. She is proficient in Chinese, Manchu, Mongolian, horseback riding, archery, astronomy, and mathematics. She is fully capable of shouldering important responsibilities. It's a pity that she is a princess!"

A Ruo lowered her head and said nothing, while the other concubines had different thoughts.

Kyushu Qingyan

Jingqin stood in front of the hall, giving orders. Jingse asked curiously, "Big sister, how did you know Jiuzhou Qingyan was struck by lightning?"

Jingqin laughed and said, "The sound of lightning striking the ground is different from the sound of lightning striking the eaves. This kind of thing happens a lot in Korchin. I just got used to it."

Jingse asked doubtfully, "Really? I've lived in Korchin for a while, but I've never encountered this before."

Jingqin smiled but said nothing. Of course it was... fake. Did she tell Jingse she was reborn? Had she anticipated this? Fortunately, people in this life were easy to deceive. She believed everything she said.

Wuling Spring Scenery

The Queen Mother tapped her water pipe and consoled her, "It's a good thing that you, Your Majesty, are alright. Jingqin has done a great service this time."

Hongli nodded and said, "Jingqin is so selfless for me, completely disregarding her own body. Women are as brave as men. Empress Dowager, I think Jingqin can stand alone in the court."

The Queen Mother was surprised and said, "Your Majesty, it's very kind of you to have this intention, but Jingqin is a girl after all, and I'm afraid the court officials won't agree."

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Several of the princes are not yet mature, and the others are not yet grown up. My son needs someone to stay in the capital for his southern tour.

Although Jingqin is a girl, she has been in charge of Mongolia for a long time and has helped her son review memorials for a long time. Now she is just learning about the trivial matters in the court.

Moreover, Jingqin has risked her life to save his son several times, so he cannot favor one over the other. This time, he will confer the title of Princess Zhenguo on Jingqin, and she will temporarily take over the government after his southern tour."

The Queen Mother was in no mood to persuade her any further, so she nodded and said, "It's good that you have your own plan. Jingqin does have the ability to do so."

The Queen Mother then changed the subject and asked, "You have been arguing with the Imperial Noble Consort for so long. Why don't you take her with you on this southern tour?"

The Empress Dowager's interruption changed Hongli's focus, and he stopped worrying about the reward for Jingqin. He casually replied, "Mother, there's nothing wrong between my son and the Imperial Concubine. We're just angry."

The Empress Dowager ignored Hongli's perfunctory response and said, "It's nothing. You and the Imperial Noble Consort have been angry with each other for years because you can't let go of each other. Your Majesty, please stop. It's really not right to hurt each other's feelings over a trumped-up matter."

Hongli wanted to say that this was not a false accusation, but he nodded in compromise: "Son, I understand."

Hongli also had his own plans. He had already sent a letter to the empress, who said that Yonglian's cough had relapsed and he could not come on this southern tour, so she refused his request. In order to have a high-ranking concubine to show off, he reluctantly took Ruyi with him.
