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

Hongli and Fucha Langya looked at the scroll for more than a year and finally decided on Yonglian's study companion Zhangjia Abai, the late-born son of Grand Secretary Zhangjia Akdun, who was ten years younger than the eldest son Agui and the same age as Jingqin.

(Fictional! In history, Akdun had only one son, Agui (probably the only one whose name was recorded)!! Both of them were famous officials. The father was a veteran official of three dynasties in the Qing Dynasty civil service, and the son was one of the ten famous generals of the Qianlong Dynasty. Baidu Encyclopedia lists only one son, Agui, of Akdun. Moreover, both of them lived extremely long lives. One outlived two emperors (Kangxi and Yongzheng), and the other survived the Jiaqing Dynasty (but did not outlive Qianlong because he lived too long)).

Hongli and Langya both agreed that Jingqin's personality required a younger or similar-aged prince consort. An older prince consort would be more opinionated and might not get along with the calm Jingqin.

Jingse needed someone a little older than her. Jingse had a lively personality and needed a steady and steady consort to protect her at all times. Fortunately, Jingse was close in age to Jingqin, and Hongli and Langya happened to be looking for a suitable man together. The man they chose was Wuya Zhaohui's eldest son, Zha Lanli.

(Fiction! In history, Zhao Hui really did have a son who married Princess Ling, the ninth princess of Concubine Ling. I infer that the princess he married was definitely not the eldest son, because the ninth princess was not born until 1758, a full 40 years younger than Zhao Hui, so the one he married must be the youngest son. There is no Concubine Ling in this book, so as not to let outsiders take away the good things in the fields, I changed it to a perfect man for Jingse! The two consorts are of similar age~)

Both Hongli and Fucha Langya were optimistic about her. A'bai was the late-born son of Akdun and his wife, and they were famous for their deep love. A'bai was lively and cheerful, which made him suitable for Jingqin.

Zha Lanli did not inherit Zhao Hui's bravery and fighting skills. Instead, he liked to write and be gentle and refined. Hongli summoned him several times and felt that he was calm, gentle and polite, which was suitable for Jingse.

Hongli quietly hinted to Akdun and Zhaohui. They were both very happy and promised that they would train their son well and make him the perfect bride for the princess.

The Empress Dowager naturally knew something about the movements of Hongli and Fucha Langya, and even lowered her head to ask Hongli and Fucha Langya for some booklets.

The empress dowager looked at it carefully and found that it was similar to the ones given to her by the ministers. She breathed a sigh of relief, but she also started to choose carefully and took a fancy to Tong Jia Zhaqing, the assistant minister of the Lifanyuan.

Tongjia Zhaqing was a down-to-earth and talented person. She could be considered a cousin of Emperor Kangxi. Although she did not have much real power, fortunately she held a respectable official position and lived in the capital for a long time, so Hengti could often visit her in the palace.

The husbands of the three princesses have been decided, and the ministers have also made up their minds. Hongli and the empress dowager have both expressed their intention to keep the princesses until they are seventeen years old before marrying off, and no minister dared to jump out to oppose it. Who would complain about having a long life?

(After checking the data, I found that it is no wonder that so many princesses died young before the Qianlong Emperor. Most of them were married off to Mongolia at the age of thirteen. They were born there! It would be strange if nothing bad happened to them after traveling thousands of miles so young! Princesses in the Qianlong Emperor's reign were generally married off at the age of sixteen. Mr. Zhang really loves his daughters.)

Now that his daughters' lifelong affairs were settled, Hongli also wanted to relax and told Fucha Langya that he was going on an eastern tour. The auspicious day set by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was the fourth day of the second lunar month.

Fu Cha Langya understood and brought up the matter when she paid her respects.

The concubines all looked delighted and were chattering about who the emperor would take with him on his eastern tour.

A Ruo's fourth princess was less than two years old, so how could she dare to go out alone? She could only sigh and say, "My sisters are so lucky. I'm afraid I can't go. My daughter Jingshu is still young and can't leave me."

Su Lujun stood up and saluted, then said helplessly, "It just so happened that I caught up with the excitement, Empress. I was originally going to announce my pregnancy, but I didn't expect to catch up with the Emperor's Eastern Tour. I'm afraid I can't go."

Bai Ruiji also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am also pregnant. I am afraid I cannot go."

Fucha Langya smiled and said, "You are pregnant, which is a happy occasion. If you can't go on the Eastern Tour this time, you can always go next time. The most important thing for you is to take good care of the royal heir in your belly."

Su Lujun/Bai Ruiji: "Yes, your humble servant thanks the Queen."

Concubine Wan, who was usually taciturn during the greetings, finally spoke up, but she was kind and her words were not offensive: "Empress Xian's Fifth Prince is still young, so I'm afraid he can't go either?"

Ruyi had been feeling a bit jealous listening to the two congratulations, but now, suddenly asked by Concubine Wan, Ruyi, who was bored twisting her handkerchief with her armor, was stunned and replied blankly, "Why can't I go?"

Chen Wanyin bit her lip and said timidly, "Fifth Prince is still young, how can he go on the Eastern Tour?"

Ruyi looked bewildered and replied, "The Fifth Prince is still young and can't go. Isn't it enough to just leave him alone? I will ask the Emperor to temporarily hand the Fifth Prince over to the concubines to raise."

Chen Wanyin was shocked to hear Ruyi's cold words. She looked at Ruyi in disbelief and asked, "Empress Xian, if you don't take the Fifth Prince with you on the Eastern Tour, can you bring him back to my palace for a while? When you come back..."

Ruyi decisively refused, "No, isn't Concubine Wan also going on the Eastern Tour? Let's leave it to the concubines. They have experience and will take good care of it."

Chen Wanyin said cautiously, "Empress Xian, I am willing to stay and take care of the Fifth Prince."

Ruyi lowered her head and played with her armor, pretending not to hear.

Huang Qiying frowned and asked, "Empress Xian? Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Concubine Wan said?"

Ruyi pretended not to hear and asked, "What's wrong? What does Concubine Wan want to say to me?"

Chen Wanyin's eyes turned red with anger, and she shouted, "Empress Xian, I am willing to stay and take care of the Fifth Prince and not go on the Eastern Tour."

Yi Huan frowned and said, "Noble Lady Wan, Concubine Xian is the Fifth Prince's adoptive mother. What's the point of you staying here?"

Chen Wanyin was furious. Empress Xian was the Fifth Prince's adoptive mother, so why didn't she stay for the Fifth Prince? Why did she have to follow the Emperor on his Eastern Tour?

Gao Xiyue couldn't bear it any longer and said, "Alright, isn't it Concubine Xian herself who doesn't want to stay and take care of us? If Concubine Xian was willing to stay, why would there be so much nonsense?"

Fu Cha Langya made the final decision, "Alright, since Concubine Xian wants to accompany the Emperor on his eastern tour, the Fifth Prince will be handed back to Concubine Wan for upbringing for a while. When Concubine Xian returns, Concubine Wan will return the Fifth Prince to her. His biological mother is still alive, so what's the big deal about leaving the little prince to be raised by the concubines?"

Ruyi scoffed. What did she mean by "she has to go on the Southern Tour with the Emperor?" It was clearly the Emperor who insisted on taking her with him! However, Ruyi was in a good mood today and did not refute Fucha Langya. She stood up and bowed perfunctorily, saying, "Yes, it is entirely up to the Empress."

The concubines didn't know what to say. It was a real achievement for Ruyi to be able to force Chen Wanyin, an honest woman who couldn't say a word even with three sticks, into this state.

The greetings were thus dispersed.

Hongli was struggling in the Yangxin Palace about which concubine to take with him when Fucha Langya came and told Hongli the news that Su Lujun and Bai Ruiji were pregnant.

Hongli was very happy and said, "Great! It's great that all the happy events happened at the same time."

Fucha Langya said that Aruo's child was still young and tactfully mentioned today's dispute. Hongli understood that Ruyi had started quarreling with other concubines again.

But he didn't expect that the one who was quarreling with Ruyi today was Chen Wanyin. Usually, he couldn't say a few words to her in the whole night when he went to her palace, but today, when he paid his respects to Ruyi, he could say so much.

Hongli understood that it was the child who caused the trouble. Hongli still felt a little guilty towards Chen Wanyin. After all, it was he who agreed to let Ruyi take the fifth prince away.

Hongli could only try his best to appease Concubine Wan and said, "Then promote Concubine Mei to Concubine Mei and Concubine Wan to Concubine Wan, and grant them the title of "Wen". Concubine Chun and Concubine Shen will enjoy double the allowance."

Fu Cha Langya listened silently to Hongli's actions and nodded. It's too obvious that you are suppressing Concubine Chun and Concubine Shen in terms of status. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Chun and Concubine Shen will hate Ruyi to death?

(Do you understand? There are only four concubines: Concubine Chun, Concubine Zhe, Concubine Yi, and Concubine Xian. They are already full. If Concubine Chun cannot be promoted, then Concubine Shen cannot be promoted either.)

Of course, Hongli didn't think so. In fact, he wanted to make Ruyi a noble concubine and have her accompany him on the eastern tour. He only held back because he took Chen Wanyin, Su Lujun, and A Ruo into consideration.

After removing a few concubines, Hongli stared at the list in his hand - the Empress, the Imperial Noble Consort, the Imperial Consort Xian, the Imperial Consort Zhe, the Imperial Consort Yi... After thinking about it, he added Concubine Qing and Concubine Shu.

When Yihuan received the news that she would go on the eastern tour, she burst into tears of joy and cried, "The emperor really does miss me." She completely forgot that she had been out of favor for more than two years.

Ever since Yihuan was disfigured by scabies, she has been very concerned about her appearance. She sought medical treatment and finally got an ointment from the empress dowager. After applying it, the marks left by scabies disappeared.

From then on, Yihuan owed the Queen Mother a favor and promised to do things for her.

After Yihuan's appearance was restored, the emperor no longer came to Jingyang Palace. Yihuan could only go to Concubine Xian's place every day to sit and chat, hoping to let the emperor see that she had restored her appearance.

However, Ruyi seldom returned to Jingren Palace when she was accompanying the Emperor. She would go out with him during the day and only return to Jingren Palace to rest at night. Yihuan was too embarrassed to go to intercept him at night, so she had few chances to see the Emperor. She could only try her luck in the Imperial Garden.

After all the trouble Yihuan had gone through, Hongli still saw Yihuan's appearance. Although she had recovered as before, he couldn't help but think of Yihuan's appearance at that time when he saw her. He was so scared that he even visited the harem less often for a few days.

In fact, the reason why Hongli added their names was very simple. It was completely because of his son-in-law mentality:

Lu Muping's name was added because the Eastern Tour would pass by her mother's home, and it was to give Qing Chang some face at her mother's home.

The reason for adding Yihuan's name was because among the ministers accompanying him this time was Yihuan's father, so he had to give Yongshou some face.

Yihuan was still immersed in the dream that "the emperor has not forgotten me" and couldn't extricate herself.

After more than a month of busy work, the southern tour began in a grand manner. Hongli sat in the imperial carriage, and Langya also sat on the phoenix carriage in her gorgeous clothes. The emperor and empress were dignified and calm, and they went on the eastern tour hand in hand.
