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

Yangxindian

Hongli was sighing again. He wanted to enthrone Ruyi, but the court officials all said that Ruyi was not worthy of the position and could not be a royal concubine. However, the reasons they gave were all reasonable and well-founded, and he could not refute any of them!

Wang Qin saw this and stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, is there anything bothering you?"

Hongli glanced at Wang Qin and scolded him, "You ask even though you already know the answer. Don't you know that I am in a hurry to confer the title of Imperial Noble Consort?"

Wang Qin said flatteringly, "Your Majesty, I have an idea that can help you out of your immediate predicament."

Hongli became interested when he heard this. Without sighing, he sat up and asked, "Tell me about it."

Wang Qin: "The ministers are preventing the emperor from appointing Consort Xian simply because they think Consort Xian is unworthy of the position and cannot be qualified for the position of Imperial Consort.

In this case, Your Majesty, why don't you write a letter and send it to the Empress, asking her to agree to the appointment of the Imperial Noble Consort. As long as the mistress of the harem agrees, what does it matter to anyone else?

The matter of conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort can be considered a big deal or a small one. If there is no Empress, then conferring the title of Imperial Noble Consort is indeed a big deal and the opinions of the ministers of the previous dynasty need to be considered.

But the Empress is still here, and appointing her as the Imperial Noble Consort is just a way to give her dignity. The Imperial Noble Consort is not the true head of the harem, so why should we give an explanation to the previous dynasty?"

After hearing this, Hongli praised Wang Qin for his intelligence and wrote a letter to Fu Cha Langya who was far away in the palace in Jinan.

Jinan Palace

Yonglian intercepted the letter in time and opened it himself. Seeing the paper full of falsehood, Yonglian sneered and was about to write a reply when Fucha Langya rushed over after hearing the news.

Fucha Langya said helplessly: "Yonglian, give the letter to mother."

Yonglian pretended to be dumb and asked, "Mother, what letter?"

Jingse chased after her and shouted, "Mother, you said you wanted to watch the show with your daughter and Empress Gao, why did you run away after listening to Aunt Suxin?"

Yonglian glared at Suxin, who hid behind Fucha Langya. She was sent by the Fucha family and was also Fucha Langya's maid. She naturally knew who to be loyal to. If her master wanted to know the news, she would help to find out.

Fucha Langya said helplessly: "The letter your royal father wrote made mother agree to enthrone Ruyi."

Yonglian stared at Jingse and asked, "Jingse, is this how you hid this from Mother?"

Jingse asked in confusion, "How did mother know? I clearly didn't tell anyone a word."

Fucha Langya sighed, "I gave birth to you, how could I not know what you are thinking? Besides, your father has been with you for more than ten years, so I think I know him a little bit."

Seeing that the other way didn't work, Hongli would definitely turn his attention to her. It was just a matter of time.

As early as when Jingqin sent the message and Yonglian and Jingse were trying to hide the truth from her, she understood their plan.

Langya soothed, "Yonglian, give it to Mother. A letter written by Mother will be more convincing to the Emperor and the ministers. No matter how similar your writing is, there will be subtle differences. It's better to let Mother write it herself. Don't worry, Mother won't be sad for your Royal Father anymore."

Yonglian stood up hesitantly, and Fucha Langya sat down at the desk, reading the letter while thinking about how to reply.

……

A few days later, at the morning court

Hongli once again announced his intention to appoint Ruyi as Imperial Noble Consort. Before the ministers could object, he emphasized, "I have sent a message to the Empress. The Empress herself submitted a memorial agreeing that I appoint an Imperial Noble Consort to manage the harem on her behalf. Wang Qin, you read it."

Wang Qin read: "Your Majesty personally wrote:

I am weak and sickly, so I have to stay in another palace for a long time to recuperate and it is difficult for me to manage the affairs of the six palaces. This is my dereliction of duty.

I have heard that Your Majesty wishes to appoint Ruyi as Imperial Noble Consort, to manage the harem on my behalf. I am deeply delighted. Ruyi, with her exceptional talent and beauty, is the perfect choice. I hope Your Majesty will grant my approval.

I will also take good care of you, hoping for a speedy recovery and return to the palace to fulfill my duties as the Queen Mother. I am in the Jinan Palace, and I wish the Emperor a long life and peace of mind.

Hongli was very proud and had an expression that said, "What else do you have to say?"

The ministers suddenly felt that it was pointless to argue with Hongli about these things. Hongli was so shameless as to write a letter to the empress who was thousands of miles away, asking the empress who was recuperating from illness to personally write a petition to agree to confer the title on his beloved concubine. Why should they argue with such a three-year-old child?

The ministers knelt silently and shouted in unison: "The emperor is wise and wise, long live the emperor!"

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Since my dear ministers have no objections, let's adjourn the court."

Without caring what the ministers thought, Hongli turned around and went back to the Yangxin Palace to write the imperial edict to confer the title on Ruyi.

Gyeongin Palace

Wang Qin delivered the decree, saying, "The Emperor has issued an edict. Imperial Consort Ulanara, born into a distinguished family and known for her virtuous conduct, is granted the privilege of accompanying her in the Imperial Residence. Respectfully obeying the Empress Dowager's benevolent order, she is promoted to Imperial Consort and is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces."

Ruyi: "I thank the Emperor for his grace."

Wang Qin left after conveying the decree. Ruyi was still there, feeling elated, not knowing why she was suddenly promoted.

Rong Pei was the first to congratulate, "This servant congratulates the Empress on her promotion to Imperial Noble Consort."

Everyone followed suit and said, "This servant congratulates the queen on her promotion to the rank of Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi looked at everyone kneeling and bowing with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Stand up."

Rong Pei was a little confused. Didn't she remember that there should be a sentence after the congratulations? But everyone was already used to it, and after the congratulations, they dispersed in twos and threes.

They all had to report to their master, so how could they care about whether Ruyi would reward them or not? There was probably no reward anyway, so why waste time listening to Ruyi's nonsense? It would be better to run faster and report the news as soon as possible to get the reward from the master.

Ruyi saw that only Rongpei, Jinxin, Sanbao and Yunling were still paying attention to her, and she maintained an awkward smile.

The reason why Jin Xin and the others didn't leave was very simple. Their master had already known the news, so naturally there was no need for them to report it.

Ministry of Internal Affairs

Qin Li was sweating profusely. He didn't expect that Ruyi, a loser, could actually become the master of the six palaces!

Then wouldn't the good things he did to Ruyi before have offended this petty-minded Ruyi?

No, he has to do something, otherwise he will lose his position as the head of the Imperial Household Department!

Qin Li asked someone to pack up some of the most popular silks in the palace, intending to flatter Ruyi.

Gyeongin Palace

When Yihuan heard the news, she was the first and only one to rush to Jingren Palace to congratulate him, saying, "Congratulations, sister, on your promotion to Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Hurry up and sit down."

Yihuan sat on Ruyi's other side and asked, "Sister, what did the Emperor say about your enthronement ceremony?"

Ruyi said sweetly, "The enthronement ceremony has established precedents and is fully presided over by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department."

Yi Huan enviously said, "The Emperor treats me so well. I don't have to worry about any formalities."

Ruyi smiled and continued, "It's just like when I was about to marry into the Qiandi Palace. Everything else was arranged by others, and I just had to wait patiently for the chance to put on my wedding dress."

The two were laughing when Qin Li came in with a group of young eunuchs.

Yi Huan said disdainfully, "Why is Qin Li, a flatterer of the powerful and a bully of the weak, here too?"

Ruyi's smile faded as she said, "I don't know what he's here for either."

Yi Huan: "I'm afraid he's scared now that he knows my sister has been named Imperial Noble Consort by the Emperor, so he's here to atone for his sins, right?"

Rong Pei, who was standing nearby, heard this and asked, "Madam Shupin, what's the reason behind this?"

Yi Huan glanced at Rong Pei and said, "That's right. You've only been here for a year, so naturally you don't understand what Qin Li has done."

He Xi understood and stepped forward to scold Rong Pei, "Qin Li, that dog-eyed servant who looks down on others, used to think that the master and the Imperial Noble Consort were kind and easy to talk to, so he desperately deducted their share. Now he knows he's scared, right?"

Rong Pei got angry when she heard it and rushed out.

Qin Li didn't know a firecracker was coming towards him. He stood there and pointed at the young eunuchs, saying, "Be careful, these are things from Jingren Palace. Is the Imperial Noble Consort here?"

Yun Ling went forward to greet him cheerfully, "Eunuch Qin, you're here. Our master is here. Please come in."

Qin Li smiled and said, "The Imperial Household Department's General Manager, Qin Li, has come to deliver the tribute of colored satin to the Imperial Noble Consort."

Rong Pei took a look at the brightly colored satin and suddenly thought of an excuse. She reached out to stop it and said, "Send it back. The Imperial Concubine won't like such brightly colored satin."

Qin Li said blankly: "This aunt is..."

Ruyi had never brought Rong Pei to the Imperial Household Department, and Qin Li had not bothered to come in person before, so naturally he did not know Rong Pei.

Rong Pei: "I am Rong Pei, the chief maid of Jingren Palace."

Qin Li said disdainfully, "I don't know her. She's new here, right? I'm afraid she doesn't know the Imperial Concubine's preferences, nor the palace's rules. These colored satins are for the clothes made for the enthronement ceremony, so naturally they're brightly colored. If they don't use colored satin, are they going to use plain satin?"

Rong Pei retorted, "Plain satin is better."

Qin Li was too lazy to explain to this unfamiliar nanny and shouted, "You really don't know the importance of taboos! Come, send these things in for the Imperial Concubine to review."

The young eunuchs were just about to go in with the colorful satin.

Rong Pei stretched out her hand to stop him, saying, "These dazzling things are not allowed to enter Jingren Palace."

Qin Li: "Who the hell are you? How dare you..."

Ruyi interrupted, "Eunuch Qin."

Ruyi and Yihuan walked out together.

Qin Li saw Ruyi coming and saluted enthusiastically, saying, "Is the Imperial Noble Consort here? May the Imperial Noble Consort be well and at peace."

Qin Li didn't even look at Yihuan who was standing beside him. Yihuan was very angry, and Ruyi patted Yihuan's hand to comfort her.

When Ruyi saw Qin Li, who was arrogant in the past, now bowing to her respectfully, she felt so happy.

Rong Pei: "Your Majesty, it is you who forbade these colorful satins from entering Jingren Palace. Your Majesty, Concubine Zhe, is gravely ill, and as the head of the harem, I am deeply grieving. How could I possibly take the brightly colored satins from the Imperial Household Department?"

Ruyi and Yihuan smiled at each other, knowing that Rong Pei was looking for a way to disgust Qin Li, so they naturally cooperated.

Qin Li smiled apologetically and said, "The Imperial Household Department is preparing for the Imperial Noble Consort's enthronement. The Emperor also said that although these colorful satins are tributes, they can only be worn before the enthronement. After the enthronement ceremony, better Shu brocade will be delivered. Please make do with this for now, Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi said calmly, "Concubine Zhe is seriously ill. I don't want to be dazzling...just change to some plain satin."

Qin Li glanced at Ruyi, who was wearing bright yellow satin and a big red flower on her head, and knew that Ruyi and Yihuan were just instigating Rong Pei to find a reason to disgust him.

It would be fine if this method had been used once, but now it was used again. Did Ruyi think his brain was also ineffective because her own brain was not working? Qin Li endured this anger for the time being.

Qin Li smiled apologetically and said, "Yes, I will change it right away."

Qin Li waved his hand and asked the young eunuchs to follow him and leave. He turned around with a gloomy look on his face and said, "Ruyi, let's wait and see!"

When Ruyi and Yihuan saw Qin Li leave angrily, they both laughed. Ruyi looked at Rong Pei approvingly.

Rong Pei was infuriated by this look. Jin Xin and Yun Ling were numb and unmoved. Jin Xin didn't worry at all that Rong Pei would take her place.

Anyway, Rong Pei, the senior palace maid, has a much more glorious job than her, the head aunt. If Ruyi suddenly has the idea, it would be normal to let them switch positions.

However, Ruyi did not think of promoting Rong Pei. Ruyi's praise was limited to praise and there was no practical benefit at all.

Ruyi feels that the current situation is good, just like being back in the Qiandi Palace: Rongpei's personality is like A Ruo, and Jinxin's personality is like惢心.

Xianfu Palace

The eldest prince, who had devoted himself to being a filial son and serving Concubine Zhe, became angry when he heard what Anxin said.

Yong Huang: "What did you say? How dare she say that?"

An Xin whispered, "It's absolutely true. It was the spy from Jingren Palace who told me everything."

Yonghuang sneered, "This bitch! Why is she pretending to be considerate to the concubine? Today, when this prince entered the palace, he saw her flaunting her yellow coat. What's the point of pretending now? Don't tell your mother about this. I have my own way."

An Xin: "Yes, I didn't want to disturb the master's recovery, so I told you, Lord Beile."

Yonghuang gave his personal eunuch a stack of banknotes and asked him to find Qin Li. The two of them worked together to spread Ruyi's righteous words today.

Seeing that the God of Wealth was giving him money to deal with the annoying Ruyi, Qin Li agreed very readily.

Qin Li’s position as the head of the Imperial Household Department was not for nothing. Within a few days, the news spread throughout the palace that Ruyi took advantage of Concubine Zhe’s serious illness and told the Imperial Household Department that she didn’t want to be dazzling in order to gain a reputation as a considerate concubine, but she turned around and swaggered around wearing red and green!

Unfortunately, Ruyi didn't know that the only person left around her besides the bribed servants was Rong Pei. The bribed servants were not kind enough to tell Ruyi the news, and Rong Pei was not a popular person. The two of them had no idea how outrageous the rumors outside were.

Hongli was so angry that he almost scratched his head. It would have been bad enough for Ruyi, the mistress of the harem, to just ignore the affairs of the harem, but she was still looking for trouble for him when he was in a critical situation!

These days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites have been arguing over Ruyi's enthronement ceremony, and Ruyi has pushed all the blame onto him, using the excuse that she wants to be a beautiful bride who is willing to get married obediently.

These days he first quarreled with the Imperial Household Department and then with the Ministry of Rites. As a result, Ruyi suddenly gained the reputation of being unkind to her superiors and unkind to her subordinates.

Hongli is in a mess, so whatever, just destroy him.

Anyway, he had done everything he promised Ruyi. He didn't care whether Ruyi's enthronement ceremony was good or not. He just followed the wishes of the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites. Anyway, Ruyi, the person involved, didn't care either.

The Queen Mother was almost laughing her teeth off in private, and she even gave a push. It was also her who made the call to the Ministry of Rites. Hengti's husband's family all came from the Ministry of Rites, so it was easy for them to stop the enthronement ceremony.

Ruyi is Hengti's enemy, so it's only natural for her to ask Hengti for revenge, right? The Empress Dowager didn't expect her adopted son Hongli to be defeated so easily. She thought Hongli loved Ruyi so much. This? Even worse than the late emperor!
