Yan Wan is reborn as a legitimate wife: Curing Ruyi's Douyi syndrome
Chapter 51: Expressing Feelings, Ruyi Promoted to Imperial Concubine
Jingqin sat down with mixed feelings, quietly watching Zhu'er tease Qingyou. It would be a lie to say Jingqin wasn't moved. After all, she had lived two lifetimes, and this was the first time she had met someone so pure. She loved her purely, asking for nothing.
Jingqin's conscience was fighting. Zhu'er couldn't bear the strange atmosphere and asked, "Princess, you like Abo, right?"
Jingqin was stunned and said politely, "That's all in the past. Zhu'er, we are husband and wife now."
Zhu Er smiled bitterly and said, "I never understand what the princess is thinking. I can't help her with anything she does. Unlike Abai, he will support you without hesitation and understand you."
Jingqin asked Sangyu to take Qingyou away, and sat beside Zhuer to comfort her, "Zhuer, don't blame yourself. You and Abai are different people, and naturally have your own strengths. Why belittle yourself? If I really despised you, I wouldn't have asked for permission to marry into Khorchin." Although she wanted Khorchin's support...
Zhu Er hugged Jing Qin and said gloomily, "I'm always worried, Princess. If you really want to find someone else, then find A Bo. At least he really likes you."
On the day the imperial edict granting the marriage reached him, Zhu'er had already met A'bo. The young man had broken into his mansion alone and had a fight with him, leaving both of them injured. But this wasn't their first meeting.
Zhu'er had gone to the study room with the Second Prince for several years, so he naturally knew that Abai, his study companion, would squat on the wall of the archery pavilion every day and secretly watch the princess next door shooting arrows. At that time, he didn't expect that Abai was watching his future wife, and he even despised Abai's love-struck look.
Unexpectedly, now, Abai followed his wife to Korchin, and guarded Jingqin for nearly two years, working diligently as an ordinary soldier... If Jingqin was a man, wouldn't Abai, who is so infatuated with her, have been taken away long ago?
Jingqin was able to ignore Abai for two years for a man with whom she had no feelings, which has surpassed most men in the world. Zhuer does not think that Jingqin is worse than others, nor does she think that there is anything wrong with her. In Mongolia, it is natural for outstanding people to be sought after.
Instead of letting Jingqin and Abai stare at each other from afar and gradually deepen their feelings in the feeling of being out of reach, it would be better for him to burst this bubble, put everything on the table, be a generous "husband", and win a foothold in Jingqin's heart. At least he still has Qingyou.
Jingqin also hugged Zhuer and said in shock: "Zhuer...you..." The last person who was so generous was Jinzhong. She didn't expect that she would meet two such generous men.
Zhu Er said sourly, "But Princess, you have to stay with me longer before you can go find Abo."
Jingqin hugged Zhuer and comforted her, "Don't worry."
……
Jingqin promoted Abo, who had become the captain of her personal guard. She also gave him an extra courtyard, just a dozen steps away from the main courtyard. Abo understood Jingqin's intentions and was very happy.
Their relationship was kept secret, known only to those close to Jingqin, including Zhu'er. Zhu'er felt a little bitter, but thankfully, Jingqin, trained by Jinzhong in her previous life, had mastered the skills of coaxing and balancing. Zhu'er and A-Bo were able to coexist peacefully.
Two months later, Jingqin announced her one-month pregnancy at the Nadam Festival. To avoid disappointing the visitors, Jingqin performed a three-arrow sniper show, once again stunning everyone present.
Back to two years ago
Ever since the Queen announced that she and Yonglian needed to rest and asked the Emperor for permission to recuperate in another palace, Ruyi has been eager to do something: when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king.
But without Hai Lan, the brave warrior, the high-ranking concubines ignored her, and she only had Yihuan, the saw-mouthed gourd, by her side. How could she get Hongli to make her a noble concubine?
After much thought, Ruyi could only start with Yongqi. In order to show her motherly love, Ruyi took Yongqi to the Yangxin Palace to see Hongli every day, regardless of wind or rain, completely forgetting that Yongqi was only two years old.
Chen Wanyin saw it all and was anxious. For the sake of her child, Chen Wanyin finally made up her mind. She wanted Yongqi! No matter what method she used, she wanted Yongqi back!
Ruyi was still unaware that her plan to raise poisonous insects had succeeded. She walked calmly on the long street, preparing to go to the Yangxin Palace to meet Hongli.
Yongqi was held by the nurse, and Ruyi was about to enter the palace when she stretched out her armored hands to take Yongqi. Yongqi had expected this and calmly closed his eyes. The armor poked Yongqi's cheek, but Ruyi didn't notice.
Yangxindian
Ruyi came in holding Yongqi and chatting with Hongli with a smile. Yongqi was thrown onto the wet nurse again. Ruyi and Hongli chatted about Yongqi without caring about his life or death.
Hongli had recently come to terms with the loss of his empress and son, and the marriages of his two daughters. Perhaps Ruyi had once again recalled the familiar line, "From the wall, from the horse, we gazed at each other from afar; the moment I saw you, I knew my heart was broken." Hongli issued an imperial decree to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort Xian on Ruyi.
Ruyi left contentedly, and her wet nurse hurriedly followed, holding the Fifth Prince.
This made Concubine Chun Su Lujun, who was pregnant with the emperor's heir and was hoping to gain promotion by giving birth, furious. Especially since the imperial decree clearly stated that Ruyi was promoted to Imperial Concubine for her "meritorious service in raising the emperor's son."
Su Lujun was so angry that she almost had a miscarriage. How could Ruyi, who only cared about snatching things but not raising them, be considered "meritorious in raising the prince"? Is the emperor blind or deaf?
Fucha Chuying, who had meticulously cared for and raised the eldest prince, was also furious. Not only was the emperor partial to her, but he also came up with such a lame excuse. Who was he targeting? Between her and Concubine Chun, whose contribution wasn't as great as that of Biyi?
Chen Wanyin also knew that Ruyi had been promoted thanks to her son. Still, using the reason of "merit in raising the prince", Hongli successfully disgusted a woman who loved him to death.
Since nothing happened to Fucha Langya, there was naturally no farcical funeral. Yonghuang escaped by luck, but he still did not restrain himself. Hongli only made him a Beile, just to warn him.
However, Yonghuang was stubborn and insisted on going down the same path. He stubbornly believed that the emperor did not like him. So Yonghuang wanted to start with children and give birth to a legitimate eldest son to rekindle Hongli's favor for him.
Yonghuang was obsessed with having a baby and stayed indoors just like Prince Guo. But Yonghuang and Prince Guo were both frail and sickly, and their fathers had health problems, so how could conceiving a child be so easy?
Ruyi was named Consort Xian by Hongli, and she felt that she had made a comeback. However, the servants in Jingren Palace refused to obey her discipline and were more inclined towards Chen Wanyin. What was the point of her being a concubine?
The Jin Xin that her aunt left for her was a saw-mouthed gourd, and she didn't know how to praise her enough. Ruyi missed the servants in the past. Ruyi did what she said and went to Qixiang Palace leisurely.
Qixiang Palace
There was a burst of laughter in the palace. Arruo, Ye Xin and惢心 watched Yunzhi and Lingzhi playing with the two girls. After Arruo gave birth to Jingshu, she took advantage of the time when Ruyi was busy fighting with Chen Wanyin for the child and married惢心 to Jiang Yebin in a low-key manner.
惢心 and Jiang Yubin were a loving couple. Less than a year after their marriage, they gave birth to a girl, named Jiang Qin, who was snatched away by A Ruo and given to Jing Shu as a playmate. 惢心 often brought Jiang Qin into the palace to keep A Ruo company.
Xiao Pingzi, who was guarding the door, hurried in to report: "The Imperial Concubine Xian is here."
The laughter in the room suddenly stopped, but since Ruyi was already a noble concubine, no one dared to stop her. Arruo stood up to greet her, stiffly bowing to Ruyi and saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Majesty Xian. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
Ruyi watched A Ruo perform the ceremony with a smile on her face. She was very satisfied and walked into the room as if she knew the place well, and sat down in the main seat.
Ah Ruo gritted her teeth, silently repeating to herself, "She is the Imperial Concubine, she is the Imperial Concubine, she is the Imperial Concubine," and calmly sat in the deputy seat. Ah Ruo winked at Ye Xin and惢心. The two understood, each picked up their child and prepared to leave.
Ruyi smiled and said, "惢心, long time no see."
惢心 froze, and with a sorrowful tone she entrusted Jiang Qin to Xiao Pingzi. She returned to her spot, bowed deeply to Ruyi, and said, "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty Noble Consort Xian. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health."
When Ruyi heard惢心's words, she frowned and bowed to her, then asked, "惢心, you actually got married so early?"
Ah Ruo frowned. What's so early?惢心 is almost thirty years old this year, and ordinary people would have become grandmothers!惢心 had just given birth to a daughter.
(I found out惢心's age. In the script, after Yonghuang and Yongzhang were abandoned by Hongli, Hongli began to miss Langya. Ruyi was hurt by Hongli, so she told惢心 that she was already 30 years old and wanted to marry her off. Therefore, the previous age had to be changed to be older. I will explain this to those who have read it!)
Suo Xin shook her head at A Ruo and replied gently, "When I reached the age, I asked for mercy from the master. The master was kind-hearted and asked the emperor for permission to grant me a marriage."
惢心 emphasized that "they have reached the age" and "the emperor has granted the marriage", but Ruyi didn't care at all. She only knew that the servants in her palace no longer listened to her and she needed obedient servants.
Since惢心 is married, she changed her target. However, Ruyi couldn't help but frown and said, "How can a woman speak about marriage?"
A Ruo and惢心 pretended not to hear.
Ruyi asked again, "Yunzhi and Lingzhi, how are you these days?"
The two people standing aside were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and replied respectfully: "Thank you, Noble Concubine Xian, for your concern. Everything is fine."
Ruyi hadn't expected Yunzhi and Lingzhi to be so clueless. She'd hinted so clearly, yet neither of them would kneel down and cry about how badly they were living. Without them crying, how could she legitimately take them both away? How would she punish Aruo for her harsh treatment of the palace maids?
Ruyi smiled and said, "Is everything really fine? If you don't want to stay with Concubine Shen, considering our old relationship as master and servant, I can take you back to Jingren Palace..." She looked at A Ruo provocatively and said, "I'm sure Concubine Shen won't mind."
A Ruo clenched her fingers and stared at Ruyi, relying on her strong willpower to not go forward and slap Ruyi.
Yunzhi and Lingzhi were so frightened that they quickly expressed their feelings, kneeling down and kowtowing, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Her Majesty. I am clumsy and used to doing the work in Qixiang Palace. I can't help Her Majesty much if I go to Jingren Palace. It's better for me to stay in Qixiang Palace."
Ruyi frowned and wanted to continue to disgust A Ruo, but she was frightened by A Ruo's vicious eyes. She didn't dare to ask any more questions and left in a hurry.
Ye Xin saw Ruyi leave, and she and Xiao Pingzi came back with Jing Shu and Jiang Qin. They put Jing Shu and Jiang Qin on the carpet and watched them play.
惢心 said worriedly, "Why did Concubine Xian suddenly come to our house and ask for us?"
Ah Ruo sneered and said, "It's because she manages Jingren Palace like a sieve that she wants to find some loyal servants."
Yunzhi: "Master, if you want to find a servant, why don't you go to the Imperial Household Department and come to our Qixiang Palace to steal my girl?"
Ah Ruo: "Why would someone like her spend the time and energy to go to the Imperial Household Department to find a servant? Of course she would come to our Qixiang Palace to find a ready-made one, and disgust your master at the same time."
Lingzhi said angrily, "What's the use of a loyal servant like her? She won't give you food or salary."
Logically speaking, this is not something a servant should say to her master, but A Ruo was also a servant by Ruyi's side in the past, so she can naturally empathize with her.
Ah Ruo gnashed her teeth and said, "I've served her for eighteen years! She never gave me a cent in reward, and I lived on my monthly salary. She herself is adorned with gold and silver, and she flaunts her chicken claws every day. Anything she scrapes out from between her fingernails is enough to feed all of us in the palace!"
惢心 smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know what possessed me, but I always feel that Concubine Xian is a good person. If I had followed Concubine Xian in the past, let alone getting married, I would have been lucky to live to forty."
Ye Xin echoed, "Don't even mention you. Wasn't that commoner Hai from Xinzheku also crazy back then? She just listened to Noble Consort Xian. Now Noble Consort Xian has been promoted to Noble Consort and is wandering around the palace, but she's never been seen visiting her former good friend at Xinzheku."
Lingzhi asked doubtfully, "Hai Shu Ren caused Concubine Xian to be sent to the cold palace, so it's normal for Concubine Xian not to go."
Ye Xin rolled her eyes and said, "Have you forgotten? At that time, I was still close to Hai Shu Ren. I didn't know whether Hai Shu Ren had harmed anyone or not. Hai Shu Ren was probably taking the blame for Concubine Xian. It's a pity that she was so devoted to Concubine Xian, but Concubine Xian turned around and ignored her."
The culprit A Ruo smiled and glanced at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin saw that he had gone too far and kept his mouth shut. Unfortunately, the spy hiding by the window heard everything clearly. He had waited for six years! He finally heard it!
Yangxindian
The spy repeated Ye Xin's words word for word, and Hongli frowned. He had never expected that after all the inquiries, the culprit was Ruyi. He knew Hailan might have been wronged, but in order to make amends to his beloved, he didn't care too much.
Now, A Ruo has given birth to a child, and Gui Duo has been promoted to a Beijing official. Hongli waved his hand and told the spies not to inquire about the matter anymore, but to work honestly in Qixiang Palace and let the past be the past.
Qixiang Palace
The few of them were chatting animatedly, and Chen Wanyin asked for a meeting.
A'ruo was a little surprised, so she let Chen Wanyin in. The two of them exchanged greetings. A'ruo winked and asked Lingzhi, Yunzhi and Xiaopingzi to go out and guard, and asked Ye Xin and惢心 to take Jingshu and Jiang Qin away.
Only A Ruo and Chen Wanyin were left in the room.
Chen Wanyin directly stated her purpose. She wanted Ruyi's manuscript and hoped that A Ruo could help.
A Ruo was surprised. In her impression, Chen Wanyin should be an honest person who doesn't fight or compete. She didn't expect that one day she would be forced to use tricks.
Ah Ruo asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking me for these things for no reason? Concubine Xian is the Fifth Prince's adoptive mother. I don't believe you want to harm her."
Unexpectedly, Chen Wanyin became even more angry after hearing this. Yongqi had contracted typhoid fever because of Ruyi's outing, and his forehead had been burning these days. But Ruyi, his adoptive mother, acted as if nothing had happened and went out wandering around every day.
Chen Wanyin took a deep breath and said, "The Fifth Prince is still ill. To make a long story short, I wanted to bring the Fifth Prince back, so I took the risk and came up with this trick to frame Ruyi.
I know you, Concubine Shen, also hate Ruyi. I promise that this matter will not involve you. You just need to give me some of Ruyi's manuscripts. "
Ah Ruo still said cautiously: "What I need is your belongings."
Chen Wanyin gritted her teeth and took off the pearl flower that Hongli had given her when he ascended the throne. She said, "This is a pearl flower given to me by the emperor. It's one-of-a-kind. I'm giving it to you now. If you're involved in this, you can use this pearl flower to put the blame on me."
Ah Ruo picked up the pearl flower and said with a smile, "Deal. I'll have my people find a way to pass it to you."
Chen Wanyin nodded and left. Yongqi was still sick, so she had to go back and see him.
A Ruo played with the pearl flowers in her hand and smiled.
How did Ruyi get the manuscript? It was not simple. In the past, Ruyi and she packed a box full of discarded manuscripts to annoy Qin Li. She had packed that box, and Ruyi was too lazy to move it. She asked Ye Xin to get it and then hand it to Chen Wanyin.
The box was still in Chengqian Palace, and some of the manuscripts had already rotted away. Ye Xin carefully took out a few relatively complete ones, put them away, and quietly went to Jingren Palace to hand them to Chen Wanyin.
Fortunately, the servants in Jingren Palace were always lazy, so no one could notice her actions.
Chen Wanyin accepted the manuscript and practiced hard by lamplight. She knew that Ruyi loved to write Lady Wei's hairpin-flowered small calligraphy, so in order to be absolutely sure, she took the manuscript and tried her best to imitate the handwriting perfectly.
Except for Yongqi who was watching Chen Wanyin from the side, no one knew that Chen Wanyin had also learned the hairpin flower small calligraphy.
