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

It has been uninhabited for many years. Although someone takes care of it, it is very desolate and not as prosperous as Jingren Palace.

Rong Pei, Jin Xin and San Bao worked hard to clean up and finally managed to create a few houses for people to live in.

Jin Xin complained, "Why is Shufangzhai so shabby? All the valuable items have been removed and replaced with the blue-gray cloth used by the palace maids..."

Rong Pei said angrily, "How could the people from the Imperial Household Department treat us like this?"

Ruyi sat down and said in a hoarse voice, "The Emperor has deposed me. The Imperial Household Department is the one who knows the Emperor's wishes, so how could they not do something about it? It doesn't matter. I'm imprisoned here anyway, so I don't need to worry about how I'm fed, clothed, and funded."

Rong Pei was stunned. How could she not know that Ruyi was so indifferent to fame and fortune? In the past, she would have sulked inwardly at the slightest mistreatment from the Imperial Household Department, but now she didn't care?

Sanbao had anticipated this and consoled her, "Fortunately, the Empress Dowager showed mercy and didn't send Her Majesty to live in the cold palace. Although Shufangzhai is much more desolate, it's still much better than the cold palace."

Rong Pei could only nod. At least she didn't go to the cold palace again, which was a blessing in disguise.

Seeing Ruyi sitting there in a daze, Rong Pei sighed and stepped forward to ask, "Your Majesty, you must have been exhausted from the journey. Please settle down as soon as possible."

Ruyi sat motionless on the wooden bench and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to sit here for a while. You guys go and clean up."

Rong Pei nodded and said, "Yes." Rong Pei went downstairs, leaving only Ruyi sitting in the room.

紫禁城

The imperial carriage returned in a grand manner.

Inside the carriage, Hongli looked gloomy.

Jingqin and Jingse stood at the gate of the Yangxin Palace to greet him, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Wang Qin stepped forward to support him. Hongli got out of the sedan chair and said, "No need for formalities. Get up."

Jingqin and Jingse: "Thank you, Father Emperor."

Hongli strode into the Hall of Mental Cultivation, followed closely by Jingqin and Jingse.

Hongli sat on the couch, looking at the imperial edict and golden seal on the table, silent.

Jingqin followed Hongli's gaze and looked at the three imperial edicts on the table. She sighed and said, "Father, I, as you instructed, took away the imperial edict and golden seal from Ulanara after she returned to the palace.

"I will also take back the imperial seals for Consort Xian and Consort Xian. As for the rest, I will not interfere, so I will leave it to Empress Chun and the others to handle."

Hongli nodded and said, "Well, you did a good job."

Jingse asked worriedly, "Father Huang, are you still angry?"

Hongli looked at Jingse and asked, "Jingse, do you want to plead for the Ulanara family?"

Jingse shook his head and said, "Of course not, Father Royal, how could I possibly plead for Ulanara when she's so angry with you?"

Hongli was deeply moved and said with emotion: "Jingse, you and Jingqin are the most caring."

Jingse asked, "Father Emperor, now that you have returned to the capital, what will happen to Concubine Yan and Jinzhong?"

Hongli asked doubtfully, "Disposal? What does that mean?"

Jingse was surprised and said, "Father Emperor, but... the palace maids who came back from Hangzhou said that Jinzhong and Concubine Yan seduced you into having sex with a prostitute..."

Jingqin interrupted, "Jingse!"

Hongli slammed the table in anger and stood up, saying, "This is sheer nonsense! Jingqin, where has this been spread?"

Jingqin stood up and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have dealt with the servants who spread the rumors. However, I don't know what to do with Concubine Yan and Jinzhong, so I asked you."

Hongli breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Never mind, these are all nonsense. Concubine Yan and Jinzhong simply found some musicians to present me with the unique charm of Jiangnan. That's all.

It was Ulanara, on the other hand, who, having believed some rumors, came to me and made trouble. She is truly an ignorant woman."

How could Hongli admit this in front of his daughter? He has to save face!

Jingse said angrily: "Ulanara is so angry that she cut her hair off just because of a rumor. It even damaged the emperor's reputation."

Hongli touched his nose guiltily and nodded in agreement, "Yes. I am also puzzled."

Jingqin nodded and then asked, "Since that's the case, Your Majesty, although I have already dealt with the palace maid who spread the rumor,

But there are also some concubines who are dissatisfied with this matter among the concubines who returned from the Southern Tour, not to mention the palace maids. Father Huang, three people can make a tiger, and your reputation will inevitably be damaged."

Hongli was at a loss, but the palace maids were easy to deal with. He could just punish them. Yingpin and Rongpin were both Mongolian concubines. How could he, a son-in-law, dare to punish them?

Hongli suddenly wanted to pass the matter to Jingqin, but Jingse suggested: "Father, you can let Concubine Yan and Jinzhong deal with it. Although they have suffered an unprovoked disaster,

But in the end, this matter was caused by them. If it weren't for their incompetence, your reputation wouldn't have been damaged."

Hongli suddenly understood and nodded, saying, "Then let's do as Jingse said. Let Concubine Yan and Jinzhong handle this matter. If they still fail to handle it effectively..."

Jingse said indignantly: "Then the emperor must punish them severely."

Changchun Palace

Jingqin sat in the study reviewing memorials.

Jinzhong came in and bowed, saying, "Your servant greets the princess."

Jingqin raised her eyes and said, "Get up."

Jinzhong stepped forward and patted her shoulder, saying with a smile, "I thank you so much, Princess, for saving my life."

Jingqin flipped through the memorial and said calmly, "Then you've thanked the wrong person. It was Jingse who begged for you. I didn't say anything."

Jinzhong smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, I am also deeply grateful to Princess Hejing."

Jingqin put away the memorial and said, "Alright, go and do what the Emperor has instructed you to do. If you don't do your job well this time, I can't protect you."

Jinzhong nodded and said, "Well, I will take my leave."

Shufangzhai

Sanbao and Jinxin were cleaning the courtyard. There were only three of them left in Shufangzhai, and they were unwilling to serve Ruyi, so they could only clean outside.

Jinzhong brought people in and pointed at the two people and said, "These two, from now on you don't have to serve in Shufangzhai, take them away."

Sanbao and Jinxin looked at each other, and the young eunuchs brought by Jinzhong stepped forward and detained the two of them.

Sanbao and Jinxin finally reacted and struggled, "What are you doing? Let go, let go!"

Rong Pei heard the noise and looked at Ruyi, who was kneeling motionless in front of the Buddha. She said cautiously, "Your Majesty, something seems to have happened outside."

Ruyi knelt in front of the Buddha, clasped her hands together, and closed her eyes without answering, as if she didn't hear the noise outside.

Rong Pei could only lift the curtain and come out by herself, scolding: "The Queen is chanting, what are you doing?"

Jinzhong smirked and said, "I am here on the orders of the Emperor to take Sanbao and Jinxin away."

Rong Pei retorted, "Eunuch Jinzhong, Shufangzhai cannot be without a single eunuch. Besides, I am old, so there must be new people to serve here."

Jinzhong smiled and said, "According to the current situation, it's enough to keep you here. And as for the eunuch...if the Empress really wants one, and the Emperor has said so, then Ling Yunche can be moved in."

Ruyi was in the inner room, holding her armor as if nothing had happened, and cleaning the dusty Buddha statue with a small brush. She seemed not to hear the quarrel outside, and only paused when she heard the three words "Ling Yunche".

Rong Pei turned around and looked into the inner room. Seeing that there was still no movement, she said firmly, "Then take the person away. No one is allowed to disturb the Queen's peace!"

Sanbao and Jinxin still wanted to struggle.

Rong Pei stepped forward and whispered, "The master is in there. I just warned her. Now she refuses to come out despite the commotion. It's obvious that she doesn't want to protect you anymore.

She didn't even care about her nine clans and resolutely cut off her hair. How could she care about your life and mine? It's better for you to leave than to waste your time in this palace. I am enough for Shufangzhai. "

Sanbao and Jinxin stopped struggling after hearing this. Jinzhong waved his hand and said, "Take them away."

Rong Pei stood there watching Sanbao and Jinxin go away, sighed and returned to the inner room.

Ruyi was still cleaning the Buddha statue as if nothing had happened. Rong Pei whispered, "Your Majesty, Jinzhong has taken Sanbao and Jinxin away on the Emperor's orders. I can't stop him. I can only ask Jinzhong to be gentle and not disturb Your Majesty's peace."

Ruyi ignored Rong Pei.

Rong Pei knew that Ruyi was angry, so she took her leave after she finished speaking. Anyway, she was the only one left in the palace. If Ruyi didn't want to see her, she wouldn't want to see Ruyi either.

Yangxin Palace Study

Jingqin reported, "Father Your Majesty, I have thoroughly investigated the matter of Minister Xiao Cheng extorting the people of Han tribe. I have removed him from his post and executed him, thus calming the public anger."

Hongli nodded and said, "That's good. I rule the country for the sake of harmony and unity among all departments.

Xiao Cheng's extortion of the people was minor, but its impact was severe. Killing him is insufficient to appease public anger. This will also serve as a warning to court officials about my intention to treat all tribes equally."

Jingqin: "The Emperor has always been very caring towards Concubine Rong, and it is also a comfort to the people of Han tribe."

Hongli: "The borderlands are bitterly cold, but we have finally been able to recuperate and enjoy peace and prosperity. Anyone who stirs up trouble will be forsaken by me.

Well, Jingqin, you've been busy investigating Xiao Cheng's case these days, so go and rest early."

Jingqin nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I have something else to report. I seemed to see Sanbao and Jinxin in the flower room."

Hongli: "Oh, them, I asked Jinzhong to send them there."

Jingqin asked in confusion, "Father Emperor, why is this happening?"

Hongli: "There are so many rumors, most of which are spread by Ulanara's subordinates. This shows how incompetent Ulanara is in managing her subordinates. Since they are incompetent, then let them be alone."

Jingqin: "In that case, we should dismiss some of the Ulanara family's retainers to prevent them from spreading rumors."

Hongli nodded and said, "Let Concubine Yan handle it."

Palace Gate

Jin Xin said goodbye to San Bao, carrying a small bag on her back, "San Bao, the princess has shown mercy and allowed me to return home. I just don't know when I will see you again."

Sanbao consoled him, "You have the chance, so hurry up and leave the palace. I'm a eunuch, and leaving the palace means death. It's better for me to serve in the palace. The princess has shown mercy and transferred me to the flower room. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to endure in the treasury."

Jin Xin nodded and said, "Three treasures, take care of yourselves."

Sanbao: "Go ahead."

Jinxin walked away carrying her bag, looking back every few steps. Sanbao stood there, trying to hold back his tears. He had followed the wrong person, and this was how his life would be.
