Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome
Chapter 3 Change of Dynasty
Jingqin was originally taking Yonglian and Jingse to study, but she saw Lianxin and Sulian hurried in. Sulian had strong hands and held Yonglian with one hand and Jingse with the other. Lianxin came over and held Jingqin, brought a few personal nannies and palace maids, instructed them to pack up, and hurriedly took the three of them to the carriage.
Yonglian and Jingse looked confused, but Jingqin reacted and asked, "What happened, Aunt Sulian?"
Su Lian sighed, "The late emperor has passed away..." She then swiftly prepared white robes and put them on Jingqin and the other two. She continued, "The Master is worried about the young masters, so she asked me to bring them to the palace immediately."
Jingqin understood and obediently let Su Lian put her outer robe on. After getting off the car, Su Lian took her into Hongli's Palace of Tranquil Longevity.
When Jingqin saw Hongli, her eyes instantly turned red. She walked away sobbing, "Father, what happened to the Emperor?"
Then he pinched Yonglian and Jingse twice, making them cry loudly in pain. In the hall, there were only cries of "Father", "Wuuuu", "Your Majesty", "Wuuuu", and "What's wrong" coming one after another.
Lianxin felt a little reluctant. In order to prevent other people in the Yangxin Palace from seeing her movements, Jingqin leaned on Lianxin's hand. Lianxin knew exactly how strong Jingqin's hand was.
Lianxin: Poor Second Prince and Second Princess...
Hongli: Why are you crying even more miserably than me?
Fortunately, although Hongli was unfilial, he at least had the heart of a loving father. He hugged the three of them and tried his best to comfort them. He also made up a story very attentively, saying: "The emperor has gone to heaven to become a god... Although you can't see him, he can see you... Don't cry, the emperor is watching you."
Seeing that it was almost over, Jingqin slowly stopped. Although Yonglian and Jingse couldn't stop, they had the blood suppression to stop, so they tried their best.
Without saying much, Langya had finished all kinds of work. When she heard that Jingqin and the others had arrived, she took some time to come to the Yangxin Palace and kept coaxing Jingqin and the other two.
Then, on the grounds that he was too busy, he left the three children to Hongli and left.
Jingqin, the other two, and Hongli were left staring at each other.
Finally, Jingqin volunteered to take Yonglian and Jingse to the back hall to study.
Hongli also started to get busy.
After everything was done, the funeral ceremony of the late emperor began.
Inside the Qianqing Palace, everyone was dressed in white, wearing white flowers in their hair, weeping. Fucha Langya was grieving excessively, and exhausted from days of hard work, so she felt unsteady when she stood up. Seeing this, Jingqin, who was kneeling and crying beside her, pleaded with Concubine Xi, "Madam, I feel dizzy."
Upon hearing this, Imperial Concubine Xi also stopped crying and hurriedly said, "Langya, take Jingqin to the Yangxin Palace and ask the imperial physician to come and see her."
Fucha Langya forced herself to nod, then led Jingqin to the back hall and summoned the imperial physician. Langya anxiously asked, "Jingqin, are you feeling unwell?"
Jingqin pulled Langya over and let her lie down to rest, saying, "Jingqin is fine. Mother, you look pale. You should get some rest. If you faint at the funeral, they'll start making a fuss about you again."
After the imperial physician arrived, Jingqin instructed him to see Langya. After taking her pulse, the imperial physician said worriedly, "The master's wife has given birth to many children, which has already greatly damaged her health. Now she is overworked and in great sorrow, which is even more damaging to her body.
This old minister has prescribed some invigorating and calming medicine for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of herself and not overwork herself any further."
Langya was shocked and asked, "But I still have to preside over the funeral ceremony. How can I rest?"
Jingqin comforted her, "Mother, rest assured. Jingqin has a solution."
Although Langya knew Jingqin was intelligent, she was only seven years old. How could she trust her? She even called the imperial physician to see Jingqin.
Jingqin felt helpless, but still stretched out her hand.
The imperial physician felt her pulse and replied, "You are all right, Princess."
Langya looked at Jingqin with a proud face and knew that Jingqin was pretending to be sick to buy her some time to recover. She no longer struggled to go to the Qianqing Palace to preside over the funeral ceremony, and just rested well in the Yangxin Palace.
Not long after, seeing that Langya had not returned for a long time, Lady Fucha became extremely anxious and came to the back hall of the Yangxin Palace to ask for a meeting. Su Lian and Lian Xin also came back with Yonglian and Jingse.
Langya looked at them, thinking something serious had happened, and asked hurriedly, "But there's a problem in the Qianqing Palace."
Su Lian was the more reliable one. She stepped forward and replied, "My Lady, there's nothing wrong with the Qianqing Palace. It was Consort Xi who specifically told everyone to rest for a while, so she rushed over to visit Princess Jingqin."
Langya felt relieved and rested peacefully.
Madam Fucha, however, was restless. Looking at Jingqin, who was jumping around and playing with Yonglian and Jingse, she said angrily, "Your Majesty! Since Princess Jingqin is not seriously injured, you should have returned to the Qianqing Palace earlier to preside over the funeral! Why are you still lying in the Yangxin Palace?"
Fucha Langya smiled bitterly and said, "Jingqin lied to me and begged for forgiveness from Xi'er Niang, allowing me to come to Yangxin Palace to rest. The imperial physician said that if I don't take care of my health and force myself to preside over the funeral ceremony, there will be serious problems."
Madam Fucha shrieked, "You can't just abandon the funeral! If the mother of a country doesn't preside over the funeral, does Her Majesty intend to let the Ulanara and Gao families take over?"
Fu Cha Langya's face turned pale, but she was unable to refute. She could only force herself to stand up.
Jingqin heard the commotion over here. After comforting Yonglian and Jingse, she walked over and angrily shouted at Madam Fucha, "What are you talking about, Guo Luo Mama (my grandmother)? The Empress Dowager is still here, and it's the turn of a few concubines to preside over the funeral? Don't you respect the Empress Dowager?"
Although Madam Fucha desperately tried to squeeze Fucha Langya, she had no way to deal with Jingqin. She had always been unable to speak to this opinionated princess, so she could only weakly retort, "But we can't just give all the power to Concubine Xi..."
Jingqin was almost laughing at this idiot. She already had a prejudice against Madam Fucha, not to mention that her speaking style was becoming more and more like her mother Yang in her previous life, so naturally her prejudice increased.
Jingqin said bitterly, "Does Guo Luo's mother (my grandmother) think that the Empress Dowager should disregard her own health to fight for power with the Empress Dowager? Don't forget, the Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager's husband, and the Empress Dowager has the full right to preside over the funeral ceremony!"
Besides, can a mere funeral ceremony take away the Empress Dowager's power? The Empress Dowager is the legitimate wife appointed by her own family, the rightful empress! What does she need to compete with this group of people for?
Mrs. Fucha was speechless and hid aside like a wilted cabbage.
Fu Cha Langya was easily influenced. After listening to Jingqin's words, she understood and lay down again.
Jingqin didn't let go of Madam Fucha and continued, "If Guo Luo's mother is still so confused, don't blame Jingqin for complaining to Guo Luo Amuqi (my maternal uncle? - Ma Qi, the author is not proficient in Manchu and made it up himself)!"
Mrs. Fucha thought of the painful lesson she had learned before. This girl, I don't know how she and Ma Qi got along so well! Every time she did something wrong, she would write a letter to tell her brother Ma Qi, and her sister-in-law would come to teach her a lesson after receiving the letter from her brother...
Madam Fucha shuddered and could only lower her head and say, "Grandmother, you're mistaken..."
Jingqin then stopped talking and ran to Yonglian and Jingse to continue having fun.
Without the noisy Madam Fucha around, Fucha Langya felt much more at ease and rested leisurely with her eyes closed.
Jingqin was still soaking the few handkerchiefs he had collected in ginger water, and told Yonglian and Jingse to take them out and wipe their tears if they couldn't stop crying. Yonglian and Jingse obeyed him very much, and cried as if they had lost their father during the formal funeral ceremony, which shocked the other clan members and ministers, and they praised the three of them for their filial piety.
This time, Jingqin cried so hard that she almost fainted, which scared everyone. Concubine Xi was afraid that the children could not bear it, so she relaxed a little.
When Concubine Xi presided over the funeral ceremony, she was not as serious and meticulous as Concubine Langya. She was basically as lenient as possible, which made the mourners feel much better.
Langya had a good rest here, and took Jingqin and others back to continue crying.
Imperial Concubine Xi was still resting in the back hall. Langya went in to pay her respects and then said respectfully, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for taking care of me. The funeral ceremony was indeed well-organized under your supervision."
Imperial Concubine Xi was somewhat surprised. Before, Langya had been eager to do everything herself, but now it sounded like she was willing to delegate some authority. However, she still tried to test the waters, "Since you're back, Langya, you should continue to preside over the funeral ceremony."
Langya said respectfully, "It is only natural that the Empress Dowager presides over the funeral ceremony. Langya dare not interfere."
Concubine Xi thought about the current dispute between the two palaces and did not refuse. The better and more legitimate her performance at the funeral was, the more unnecessary the appearance of Ulanara would be.
After Concubine Xi got the right to preside over the funeral ceremony, her mood improved a lot. She devoted herself to it and studied many funeral rules. She also grabbed Qingying's pigtails and stripped off Qingying's armor.
Qingying lost all her dignity, like a soulless walking corpse, and even at the funeral, she looked confused. Qingying was also angry at Concubine Xi's unreasonableness, and she went to Jingren Palace more frequently.
Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Xi was now in charge of the funeral ceremony and had connections everywhere. The news of Qingying going to Jingren Palace was known to Imperial Concubine Xi within just a stick of incense.
Concubine Xi was so angry that she laughed at the news that Qingying dared to break the rules under her nose. The next day, she decisively made things difficult for her at the funeral. Although she was not wrong in saying that she was making things difficult for her,
Qingying didn't know what she was thinking, but she got a bowl of ham and chicken soup and offered it to Langya and Xiyue before them. Concubine Xi didn't like Qingying in the first place, so she directly rejected Qingying's offered soup.
Qingying was stubborn and said bluntly: "Queen Dowager, I have made a mistake and I am willing to accept the punishment, but please be kind to your body and at least allow me to enter a little."
Then, Qingying held the chicken soup, raised her hands above her head, and acted like a pitiful little girl.
Imperial Concubine Xi had always disliked such petty actions, but she was also extremely angry. However, she suddenly had an idea and remembered the rules she had recently learned. She said angrily, "I said I would not drink because I wanted to save your face, but now you are shameless. At the funeral of the late emperor, you actually presented me with meat and fish. Qingying, what is your crime?"
The concubines who were accompanying her were so frightened that they all knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Queen Mother."
Qingying's armor had been stripped off, so she didn't rummage around with her fingers while holding the soup. However, her fingers were still burned and danced. Knowing that she had made a big mistake, she didn't dare to be stubborn anymore. She put down the chicken soup and said dryly, "I know I was wrong! I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."
The Empress Dowager was unwilling to tolerate this and angrily declared, "I hereby decree that Qingying of the Ulanara clan was disloyal and unfilial. She committed the grave sin of unfilial piety during the late emperor's funeral. She is to return to her residence to repent and observe mourning for the late emperor!"
Everyone replied, "Yes, we obey your order."
Qingying was still blinking her innocent little eyes, but she couldn't utter a word and just kept blinking.
She still looked innocent until Cheng Han came forward and dragged her out with two palace maids.
Yangxindian
Hongli: "What? Qingying openly challenged the Queen Mother?"
Wang Qin was also shocked by Qingying, and tremblingly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Qingying presented the ham and chicken soup to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager wanted to let him go, but she refused and refused to drink it.
Princess Qingying insisted that the Empress Dowager drink the chicken soup, which drove the Empress Dowager so far that she ordered her to return to the Qiandi Residence to mourn for the late Emperor. The clan members and the ladies-in-waiting were all watching.
Hongli was in a dilemma. He had originally wanted to use Ulanara to check and balance Concubine Xi, but he didn't expect Qingying to stab him in the back. Ulanara and Qingying took the lead in being unfilial, and Ulanara and Yixiu were scolded by the late emperor and would never see each other again. What reason did he have to release the Queen of Jingren Palace?
Wouldn't this harem become a one-man show for Concubine Xi? No, this can't be the case. Hongli fell into deep thought. Then, Qingying arrived.
The Queen Mother didn't say how long the confinement would last, because she wanted Hongli to express his opinion. If he followed her wishes, Qingying might be released in a few years. If Hongli didn't follow her wishes, Qingying would never be released in her lifetime! The Queen Mother gave Qingying a chance and asked her to go to Hongli to plead for mercy.
As soon as Qingying entered the Yangxin Palace, her sealed mouth began to speak: "Brother Hongli~"
Hongli: "Qingying, why did you serve ham and chicken soup to the Queen Mother?"
Qingying pouted in grievance and said, "Brother Hongli~ Qingying just felt that the Queen Mother was too overworked and wanted to nourish her body. I didn't think too much about it~"
Hongli sighed and said, "Now that you've been in trouble, I can't plead for you, and I can't let go of your aunt either."
Qingying blinked, thinking for a long time about her aunt's insistence in Jingren Palace that she must become the empress dowager. Finally, she pouted and said, "Do I really have to let my aunt become the empress dowager?"
Yixiu: ...Let me chop her up.
Hongli: "Only when your aunt becomes the empress dowager can she protect you." Only then can she fight with Concubine Xi to the death, and she has no time to meddle in my court.
Qingying: "Qingying doesn't need Auntie's protection. Qingying has Brother Hongli, which is enough. We look at each other from afar on the wall and on horseback. The moment I see you, my heart breaks."
Hongli was like a dummy who had just flipped a switch, and immediately said, "That was the play we watched when we first met..."
Qingying was very satisfied and continued, "Qingying only hopes that my aunt can enjoy her old age in peace. Brother Hongli, please let my aunt live in the other courtyard."
Hongli's brain came back online. Yes, although he could not enthrone the Empress of Jingren Palace to compete with Concubine Xi, he could at least let the Empress of Jingren Palace go to the other courtyard. In this way, Concubine Xi would have to spend a lot of time and energy to kill her, and would still have no time to interfere in his court.
For the first time, Hongli agreed with Qingying's intelligence and said, "Qingying is right. I will send someone to repair the villa right away."
Qingying pouted in satisfaction, clenched her hands into chicken claws, as if she was still wearing armor, pinched the hem of her skirt and walked away swayingly.
Hongli was busy for a long time and found that Qingying had left long ago and should be living in the residence now. He was at a loss again.
Qingying returned to the residence with a smile as if she were on vacation. A Ruo and惢心 beside her looked worse than the other. However, Qingying did not care. She returned to the familiar courtyard and started watching "Wall Horse".
Before Cheng Han left, he did not forget to leave two maids to look after Qingying. The maids immediately took away her wall horse and forced Qingying to go to the Buddhist temple to kneel down and pay homage to the late emperor.
Qingying originally wanted to use the deafness method, but her "Wall Horse" and armor were taken away, so Qingying could only follow him happily, pinching her skirt and kneeling down in grievance.
