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

Jingwan was sent back to the palace for instruction.

In the past two years, Jingwan has also dreamed about her experiences in her "past life".

In her dream, under Mei Ruo's protection, she could do whatever she wanted in the palace. The other concubines dared not provoke her, and everyone would go around her. She lived a carefree childhood.

Wei Yanwan never came to see her again after that incident on the long street, because not long after, Wei Yanwan was punished by the emperor and was forced to drink poison for ten years.

She learned about this from Mei Ruo and Consort Ke's casual conversation, and never thought of going to see Wei Yanwan. In her heart, her mother only had Mei Ruo.

But there are always some ignorant servants who gossip in front of her, mentioning that her birth mother is Wei Yanwan, and that Wei Yanwan has fallen to such a state now, so why doesn't she, as her own daughter, plead for her?

Upon hearing this, Jingwan flew into a rage and rushed forward, shouting, "She's a wicked woman! I don't have a mother like her! My mother is Consort Ying! Why should I go to see her?"

Upon hearing this, the maid glanced at Jingwan in surprise before quickly disappearing.

Jingwan returned to the palace and told Meiruo about the matter. The more she talked, the angrier she became. How could she have such a vicious and venomous birth mother? Thinking of the servant's surprised face, Jingwan felt ashamed.

Upon hearing this, Mei Ruo was very pleased with Jing Wan's words and repeatedly praised her, saying, "Jing Wan is right. You are now my daughter and have nothing to do with that poisonous woman."

Jingwan originally thought she would continue to be happy like this, until one day Meiruo had a big fight with Hongli and angrily returned to the palace.

It turned out that Jingwan had reached the age of marriage, and Meiruo was not satisfied with any of the several husbands that Hongli had chosen, feeling that their family backgrounds were too low to be worthy of Jingwan.

However, Hongli felt that Mei Ruo was all talk and no action. Jing Wan was spoiled by Mei Ruo and was extremely arrogant, ignorant of household affairs, empty-headed and conceited. What wealthy family would want such a daughter-in-law?

Jingwan wanted to go up and coax Meiruo to comfort her, but Meiruo, who always fell for her act, was angry and didn't want to talk to her. She just waved her hand to tell Jingwan not to bother her.

Mei Ruo's low mood didn't last long. Soon, she received a letter from the Bahrain tribe, and her face lit up with joy. She also found Jing Wan's coquettishness quite appealing.

From then on, Mei Ruo tried her best to introduce the beautiful scenery and benefits of the Bahrain tribe to Jing Wan, and began to reminisce about the favor she received in the Bahrain tribe.

Mei Ruo highly praised the Bahrain tribe and assured Jing Wan that the tribe would treat her like their own daughter, just as she did. Jing Wan, who trusted Mei Ruo completely, believed her words.

Seeing that Jingwan trusted her completely, Meiruo wrote a letter to the Balin tribe. The Balin tribe then took the opportunity to propose a marriage alliance. Upon receiving the news, Meiruo took Jingwan to Emperor Hongli to request an imperial decree to grant them the marriage.

Hongli was somewhat reluctant, after all, the prince who requested the marriage was too old, and he did not want to marry his own daughter. He said tactfully, "The prince who requested the marriage this time, Batu, is already over thirty years old... He is almost twenty years older than Jingwan, which is not a good match."

Upon hearing this, Jingwan looked at Meiruo with a shocked expression.

Mei Ruo replied, "Although Ba Tu is older, he is my second brother and will certainly treat Jing Wan well. Besides, Ba Tu is already a prince before he is even forty."

Jingwan was dumbfounded. She had no desire to marry her mother's own brother! She quickly protested, "Father, I don't want to marry him. I want to stay by your and Mother's side!"

Mei Ruo laughed and said, "What are you saying, child? Didn't you want to get married yourself? Are you shy? A daughter is too young to stay at home."

Jingwan shook her head violently, about to retort, when her left hand was gripped tightly by Meiruo. Jingwan looked at Meiruo in disbelief, but Meiruo gave her a warning look.

Hongli could also see Jingwan's reluctance, and waved his hand, saying, "Consort Ying, take Jingwan away and come to see me again when you've thought it through."

Meiru glared at Jingwan, then angrily dragged her out.

After returning home, Jingwan started making a scene. She never expected that Meiruo would find her such an old consort, who was also Meiruo's own brother!

Mei Ruo didn't care about Jing Wan's refusal and said, "Jing Wan, the consort your father chose for you doesn't come from a high family and has parents above him. How can he compare to Ba Tu?"

Although he is a bit older, he has succeeded to the throne, and I, Abu, have long since passed away. You were once the princess consort of our Bahrain tribe, as noble as your third sister.”

Jingwan thought of Jingse's current prestige and wavered, but she still couldn't let go of the wealth and glory in the capital and was unwilling to marry far away. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Mother, but..."

Meiruo said proudly, "You are the daughter I raised, and also Batu's niece. If you marry into the Balin tribe, I guarantee you will live a carefree and happy life..."

Although Jingwan had heard Meiruo praise Mongolia for so many years, she still hesitated and replied, "Mother, I'll think about it some more."

Mei Ruo's smile froze on her face. She couldn't understand why Jing Wan would refuse a marriage alliance with the Balin tribe. She stood up angrily and said, "Think about it carefully yourself."

Afterwards, Mei Ruo went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and told Hongli that Jingwan was willing to marry into the Balin tribe.

Hongli was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Then why didn't Jingqin come to request the imperial decree with you?"

Mei Ruo was not good at lying, and she froze upon hearing this. She stammered, "How can a woman promise marriage herself? That's too undignified. As for why Jing Wan doesn't want to talk to the Emperor about marriage, let me tell you."

Although Hongli had some doubts, he thought of the deep bond between Meiruo and Jingwan, and that Meiruo was not one to lie, so he nodded and said, "In that case, you should go back and prepare with Jingwan. I will issue the decree on a chosen day."

……

Jingwan was still struggling in her room. She didn't go to the Imperial Study, and Meiruo wasn't well-liked either. She wasn't close to the princes and princesses in the palace, and had no one to consult with when things happened. She could only sit there in the palace in silence.

Unexpectedly, before Jingwan had even made up her mind, she received an imperial edict. Upon hearing the contents of the edict, Jingwan was filled with disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, "Didn't Father Emperor say that I, the princess, should think about it carefully?"

Jinbao looked bewildered and said, "Wasn't this the imperial decree that Princess Yingfei requested?"

Jingwan suddenly looked at Meiruo, but Meiruo didn't care and quickly got up to signal Abao to give Jinbao some money.

Mei Ruo laughed and said, "Jing Wan is so happy she's gone mad. Eunuch Jin Bao, you don't need to worry about it. I'll talk to her about it later."

After receiving the money, Jinbao quickly returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, completely ignoring Jingwan's unusual behavior.

Jingwan stared at Meiruo with a heart full of despair, while Consort Ke, who was accompanying her to receive the imperial decree, was still somewhat confused.

Mei Ruo quickly said, "Jing Wan, the imperial decree has been issued. It's too late to say anything now. Why don't you go with your mother to prepare the things you will bring for your marriage?"

Jingwan coldly replied, "I won't marry him! I'm going to find Father Emperor!"

Then, Jingwan tried to run away, but Meiruo had already seen through Jingwan's thoughts. With a glance, Abao caught Jingwan in her arms.

Jingwan's wet nurse followed closely behind, and the two of them forcibly pulled Jingwan into the hall while carrying and pulling her. Meiruo and Consort Ke followed closely behind and entered the hall.

After entering the hall, Abao and the wet nurse withdrew to guard the door, leaving only Jingwan, Meiruo, and Consort Ke inside.

Jingwan shrieked, "I won't marry him! I won't marry him! I won't marry him! Why do all my sisters marry young and strong men, but I have to marry an old man in his thirties?"

Mei Ruo was furious and scolded, "Why is Ba Tu not good enough? Apart from being a bit older, isn't Ba Tu better than the consort your father chose? Jing Wan, how can you be so short-sighted? Compared to your birth mother..."

Seeing that Mei Ruo was getting anxious, Consort Ke stepped forward to interrupt, saying, "Sister Yingfei! Jingwan hasn't thought it through yet either. Weren't we both unwilling when we first married the Emperor?"

Mei Ruo realized she had misspoke and quickly tried to make amends, saying, "Yes, Jing Wan, a woman is always anxious about getting married. Think it over carefully. Your mother would never harm you."

Jingwan kept her head down and ignored her.

Mei Ruo and Consort Ke exchanged a glance, got up and left. As they left, Mei Ruo specifically instructed Nurse Jing Wan to keep an eye on the gate.

Mei Ruo's precautions worked. As soon as Mei Ruo and Consort Ke left, Jing Wan ran out to find Hongli in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was stopped by the wet nurse who was prepared.

Jingwan struggled but couldn't break free. Her wet nurse, Xiyue, repeatedly advised, "Princess, you should go back. I beg you, the imperial decree has already been issued, it's no use going to the Emperor now."

Upon hearing this, Jingwan struggled even more violently, screaming, "I won't marry him! I won't marry him! I won't marry him!"

Hearing the commotion, Mei Ruo rushed out from Consort Ke's quarters and scolded, "Jing Wan! What are you doing now? Xi Yue, A Bao, take the princess inside!"

Jingwan was locked inside the palace again. Meiruo earnestly advised, "Jingwan, things have come to this. For your mother's sake, don't make a fuss anymore. If you go out to find your father, wouldn't your mother be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor? Are you trying to force your mother to die?"

Jingwan said coldly, "You forced me first! I told you, I won't marry! You acted first and then asked Father Emperor to grant us the marriage! You forced me first!"

When Mei Ruo saw Jing Wan talking back, she said angrily, "Fine, fine, fine! As expected, other people's children are hard to raise. You and your birth mother are both selfish and ungrateful bastards!"

Jingwan coldly said, "Since I'm an ungrateful wretch, then Mother, you don't need to waste your energy on me. You might as well find another scapegoat to marry into your family and bring you honor!"

Enraged, Mei Ruo slapped Jing Wan hard across the face, trembling with anger, and said, "Fine, fine, I've raised you for nothing! After raising you for so many years, I've only made a mistake."

"Let me tell you, you have no choice but to marry now. If you dare to go out and find the Emperor, I will hang myself to atone for my sins, so that the whole world can see how you drove your foster mother to her death."

Jingwan never expected that Meiruo, for the sake of the Balin tribe, would not only deceive the emperor to obtain an imperial edict, but also threaten suicide to force her to accept her fate...

Jingwan felt weak all over. She looked around and saw that everyone around her was standing on Meiruo's side. With tears in her eyes, she said, "You...you don't care whether I live or die for your mother's family?"

Mei Ruo stubbornly said, "I have said that Ba Tu is your uncle and the Balin tribe is your maternal family. How could they mistreat you? You are just too short-sighted."

Jingwan didn't want to argue with Meiruo anymore, and simply said, "Get out! All of you, get out!"

Mei Ruo no longer wanted to coax Jing Wan, so she sent people to guard Jing Wan's palace and confined her to her quarters until Jing Wan got married, at which point Mei Ruo released her.

Jingwan did try to resist, but in Meiruo's eyes, her resistance was nothing more than child's play. Everyone around Jingwan was carefully arranged by Meiruo, so how could Jingwan escape Meiruo's grasp?

Jingyan married King Batu of Bahrain with tears in her eyes.
