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

Ever since Bai Ruiji was put under house arrest, the empress dowager has been jumping up and down, trying to get Bai Ruiji to be released from confinement. However, no matter how she hinted, Hongli remained unmoved. The empress dowager was so angry that she smashed a few vases.

But no matter how angry the Queen Mother was, she couldn't just say to the Emperor: "Bai Ruiji is mine! You should listen to the Empress Dowager and let her out to bring disaster to the harem!" Isn't this pure self-destruction?

Seeing that the Empress Dowager had almost gotten away, and seeing that Bai Ruiji had made a good contribution from the charity sale (given by the Empress Dowager), Hongli used this as an excuse to release Bai Ruiji. After favoring her for a few days, he made her a concubine.

Bai Ruiji no longer dared to offend the Queen and her companions, and even took a detour when meeting the Imperial Concubine.

However, Bai Ruiji soon became arrogant because she was pregnant.

Gao Xiyue was walking down the long street from Yikun Palace to Changchun Palace. Since she was closer to the Empress's palace, she didn't ride in a sedan chair. After just a few steps, Bai Ruiji rushed over. Bai Ruiji wasn't as favored as she had been in her previous life, so she didn't have a sedan chair granted to her personally.

Bai Ruiji bumped into the imperial concubine, causing her to stagger. She seemed to be afraid that the imperial concubine would hit her again. When the imperial concubine stood firm and raised her head, she only saw Bai Ruiji's back.

Xing Xuan Shuangxi, who came with the imperial concubine, was stupid, and Mo Xin was supporting the imperial concubine, but no one tried to stop Bai Ruiji, so Bai Ruiji ran away.

The imperial concubine was so angry that she stood there for a long time, helpless and furious. Finally, it was Mo Xin who reminded her to pay her respects, and she started moving again.

Changchun Palace

The concubines were a little surprised. The greeting ceremony was about to begin, but the imperial concubine had not arrived yet. This was not normal!

The imperial concubine arrived late at the last moment, but her hair bun was loose.

Langya also came out. Seeing the concubine's miserable state, she was also very surprised and asked, "Xiyue, why is your hair bun loose?"

Hearing this, Xiyue became even angrier.

Mo Xin spoke at the right moment, "To answer the Queen, I was just walking along the long street when Bai Da Ying suddenly rushed over and bumped into me, knocking my hair loose."

Xiyue said with a look of grievance, "I was afraid of missing the greeting, so I didn't go back to dress up again. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

Langya soothed him, "I'm glad you're okay. Bai agreed. Why would you be so anxious to offend the Imperial Concubine?"

Bai Ruiji said arrogantly, "I was so careless just now. I almost bumped into the imperial concubine."

Gao Xiyue was even more furious when she saw her attitude. She angrily shouted, "You only realized you bumped into me now. How did you run away like the wind just now?"

Bai Ruiji said disdainfully, "I have an important matter to report to Her Majesty the Queen first, so I apologize."

Gao Xiyue was furious and pointed at Bai Ruiji and said, "You're courting death!"

Langya refused to listen to Bai Ruiji's explanation and said bluntly, "Since Bai promised to admit that he offended the Imperial Concubine, then he should be punished according to the palace rules. Bai promised to offend the Imperial Concubine by offending her and he should be punished with ten strokes of the cane and dragged out."

Bai Ruiji's expression changed, and she quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I felt a sudden abdominal pain last night. The Emperor sent for the imperial physician to see me, and he found out that I am pregnant."

Gao Xiyue had a smug look on her face, but after hearing these words, her expression instantly sank. The other concubines all looked at each other in bewilderment.

Jin Yuyan lost her voice and said, "So fast?"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Bai Ruiji said complacently, "It's not that fast. I have served the emperor for half a year. If I am still not pregnant after half a year, then I am unlucky."

After saying that, Bai Ruiji looked at Gao Xiyue and Ruyi with a provocative look.

Ruyi's face was gloomy and sad. Gao Xiyue gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better be careful. Don't lose this blessing!"

Bai Ruiji said nonchalantly, "How could I lose this blessing? I am so lucky to have the little prince in my womb. It's better than some people who have served the emperor for so long and still haven't conceived. This is truly a lost blessing!"

As she spoke, Bai Ruiji glanced at the Imperial Concubine and added, "Don't worry, Imperial Concubine. I'm not referring to you." Everyone present, except Concubine Zhe, Concubine Chun and the Queen, were shot at.

The Queen looked at Bai Ruiji's arrogant expression and sneered, "Mayor Bai feels that she has nothing to fear because she is pregnant with the royal heir. That's why she is committing a crime and offending the Imperial Concubine, right?"

Bai Ruiji was originally implying something with a smug look on her face, but was suddenly scolded by the Queen and she couldn't wrap her mind around it.

The Queen continued, "Since Mrs. Bai is pregnant, she can escape the death penalty but cannot escape punishment. Therefore, the caning is unnecessary. Instead, she will be required to kneel and recite the palace rules until the baby is three months old. During this time, Mrs. Bai does not need to come out to pay respects."

Bai Ruiji's eyes widened, and she said with a look of dissatisfaction, "I'm already pregnant, how can the Queen punish me?"

Jin Yuyan, the lackey number one, opened her mouth and angrily scolded, "Ms. Bai, please be careful with your words. It seems you really did knowingly commit a crime, relying on your pregnancy to deliberately provoke the Imperial Concubine?"

Bai Ruiji was speechless and said angrily: "You!"

Jin Yuyan was not afraid of her. She laughed strangely and said, "What do you mean by 'you'? You promised me a small promise for nothing, but you dare to yell at me like that? You really have no manners."

Huang Qiying also said, "Yes, if she didn't have no rules, why would she provoke the Imperial Concubine again and again? The Grand Princess and the Empress punished her by making her recite the palace rules twice in a row. It seems that Bai didn't take it seriously and still broke the rules knowingly."

Gao Xiyue added a final blow, snorting coldly: "Being born as a musician in the Southern Palace, you have no rules!"

The concubine who had been silent was also delighted when she heard this.

Bai Ruiji was no match for the four with just one punch, and the Queen couldn't stand it anymore, so she dismissed them and paid her respects.

Yangxindian

Hongli learned about today's farce and had a new understanding of Bai Ruiji's ability to cause trouble in the harem. He said to Yu Hu, "Bai promised that she is not fit to be the mother of a noble lady."

Yu Hu understood and continued, "What does the Emperor like?"

Hongli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Concubine Xian is a kind and elegant woman, and she has no deep hatred for Bai Ruiji, so let's choose her."

Yu Hu also agreed: "Her Majesty Xianpin is a talented woman, she will definitely be able to raise the little prince well."

Hongli had a headache again. Bai Ruiji's actions today had successfully made the concubines without children hate her. It was even a question whether she could give birth to this baby. Bai Ruiji herself was stupid... Well, forget it, just take it one step at a time.

Changchun Palace

The tea party started on time again

Gao Xiyue said with a look of grievance: "Sister! Look at how arrogant Bai Ruiji is!"

Fu Cha Langya looked at the account book and soothed her, "Alright, alright, I've already punished her. Jingqin was just nagging you, go tell her when she comes back."

Gao Xiyue was coaxed instantly and fiddled with the pipa in her hand proudly.

Huang Qiying was also a little indignant and said, "Your Majesty, this Bai Ruiji is really... Did I offend her? I deserve her words."

Fu Cha Langya was also a little annoyed. Although she had a son, there had been no good news for many years, and there might not be any again in the future. Wasn't what Bai Ruiji said today a subtle criticism of her?

Fucha Langya also comforted her, saying, "She came from a poor family, but now she's made it big. How could she not be arrogant? You're from an official family, so there's no need to bother with her.

You are in good health. The imperial physician said that your infertility is due to bad luck. Now that Bai Ruiji is unable to sleep with you, you must strive to win her favor and conceive a prince."

Huang Qiying was also coaxed in an instant.

Seeing these two people's failure, Jin Yuyan couldn't help but goad them, saying, "Bai Ruiji is only pregnant now, and she's already so arrogant. What will happen if she gives birth to a precious child? She's still in my Yonghe Palace, playing her pipa every day. It's really annoying!"

Fucha Langya gave her a meaningful look and said slowly, "It's okay, Bai Ruiji, I can't raise an heir."

Everyone was surprised.

Fucha Langya continued, "Bai Ruiji is only a concubine. Even if she gave birth to a prince, she would at most be a noble lady. How could she be qualified to raise a prince? It's you two who are qualified."

Fucha Langya looked at Jin Yuyan and then at Huang Qiying, and continued, "You two are already noble ladies. After you give birth to an imperial heir, you will be the mistress of the first harem. Yuyan, once you become the mistress of the first harem, why should you worry about not being able to control a mere concubine?"

Well, Jin Yuyan admitted that she was also cured.

Gao Xiyue felt a little sad because her cold had not been cured yet and she didn't know if she would have the chance to raise a child.

Fu Cha Langya changed the subject and looked at Gao Xiyue and said, "This time, Bai Ruiji's baby, I want Xiyue to raise it."

Gao Xiyue was pleasantly surprised and was stunned.

Fucha Langya continued, "Bai Ruiji is not only incapable of raising an heir, but it's best if she stays as far away from him as possible. If she were to give it to Yuyan, Bai Ruiji would go to Yuyan's palace and cause trouble. Besides, Yuyan and Qiying are both in good health, so they can seize the opportunity to conceive.

Xiyue is not in good health, and the imperial physician says she needs to be treated. Besides, there's a saying among the people that a child is a blessing, so perhaps Xiyue can give birth to a child with the blessing of Bai Ruiji. Furthermore, Yikun Palace is quite far from Yonghe Palace, and Xiyue is the head of a palace, so it's more convenient than Yuyan.

What's convenient? Of course, it's convenient for the royal heir to only be close to his adoptive mother and not his biological mother.

Gao Xiyue was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed to Langya, saying, "I thank the Queen for your consideration!"

Jin Yuyan's words became even more distorted. Gao Xiyue wanted to keep Bai Ruiji's baby. Wasn't the Queen afraid? How could she instigate Gao Xiyue to harm Bai Ruiji's unborn child?

The tea party ended in a whimper.

Yonghe Palace

Bai Ruiji still didn't know that the Emperor and Empress had plans for her unborn child. She kept muttering, "My child, I must fight for my mother's honor. When I give birth to you, I will avenge the humiliation I suffered today!"

Cining Palace

When the Empress Dowager learned that Bai Ruiji had been confined again, she summoned the Emperor and Empress to the Cining Palace. In front of Hongli, she angrily scolded Langya, "Empress! No matter what Bai Concubine has done wrong, she is pregnant with your son! How can you punish her?"

Langya weakly retorted, "My Queen Mother, I didn't mean to do this, but Bai Yiming is taking advantage of her pregnancy to offend the Imperial Concubine. If everyone in the harem follows Bai Yiming's example, being ignorant of the rules and committing insubordination, wouldn't that be chaos?"

The Queen Mother did not expect that the Queen would dare to refute her. She was furious and wanted to continue to reprimand the Queen.

Hongli could not bear to watch any longer and said coldly, "I know everything about Changchun Palace. The Queen should favor Bai."

When these words were spoken, the Queen Mother and the Empress were stunned.

Then Hongli continued, "After all, Bai Ying was carefully prepared for me by the Empress Dowager, so how could the Empress not accommodate her?

Even if she caused chaos in my harem, the Empress couldn't reprimand her. After all, wasn't this what the Empress Dowager wanted? Bai agreed and was just following orders."

Upon hearing this, Fucha Langya looked at the Queen Mother in confusion.

Hongli couldn't help but frown when he saw the queen's confused look. The queen was good in every way...but she was too naive...

The Queen Mother was also terrified when she was discovered by the Emperor.

Hongli, however, was not so kind-hearted. He stood up and took the empress's hand, saying, "My Queen, I am taking my son and the empress away. Since your health is not good, please enjoy your remaining years. As long as I have the empress here, I will not trouble you to worry about the affairs of my son's harem."

However, since my son has already accepted Bai Ruiji, I will pretend that I don’t know. If another one comes, my son will have no choice but to give the Shenjun Palace a woman like Bai Ruiji.”

This is a blatant threat.

The Queen Mother was furious with Hongli, but she didn't dare to say anything. After all, she was the one who was caught in the act, so how could she dare to be stubborn? What if Hongli got angry out of shame? What would happen to her sister?

Because of this incident, the Queen Mother became even more silent, and Bai Ruiji did not dare to act rashly.
