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

As Hongli's sedan passed by the long street, Lin Ruoyao hurriedly caught up. Seeing Hongli passing by, Lin Ruoyao rushed forward and knelt beside the emperor's sedan: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Jinzhong stopped him and said, "Lady Mei, what are you doing?"

Lin Ruoyao cried out, "You and the Imperial Noble Consort have wronged me. Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation, Your Majesty!"

Hongli sat in the sedan chair without saying a word. Lin Ruoyao had no choice but to run to the front of the sedan chair, kneel in front of Hongli, and cry, "I have been serving the emperor wholeheartedly. I don't know where I have gone wrong!"

The sedan chair was stopped by Lin Ruoyao.

Hongli said calmly, "Then you think it's my fault?"

Lin Ruoyao whispered, "Of course the emperor is right..."

Hongli sneered, "That's the Imperial Noble Consort's fault? You want me to punish the Imperial Noble Consort who just had a miscarriage?"

Lin Ruoyao cried, "I dare not..."

Hongli said coldly, "Then it can only be your fault. You have to bear the responsibility of your mistake alone. When the imperial concubine's anger subsides, you can come out again."

Lin Ruoyao was so angry at Hongli's words that she was speechless. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hongli had already left in a sedan chair.

Lin Ruoyao reacted and chased after the sedan chair, shouting, "Your Majesty! I am innocent! Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this!"

Lin Ruoyao fell to her knees, unable to shed tears. Hongli wanted her to be a punching bag for Ruyi, but he didn't even think about it! She was now under house arrest, with no other options but to wait for the princess to come back and save her.

Gyeongin Palace

Ruyi lay on the bed blankly, looking at the bed curtains above her head, without saying a word.

Rong Pei felt very distressed and advised, "My Lady, you've been in pain all day, take a rest."

Ruyi said hoarsely, "Rong Pei, did I really have a miscarriage?"

Rong Pei: "Your Majesty..."

Ruyi muttered to herself, "I didn't even know he was here...he was already gone."

Rong Pei held back her tears and comforted her: "My Lady, you will have more children in the future. You should take care of yourself first."

Ruyi was stunned and did not respond to Rong Pei.

Rong Pei sighed, helped Ruyi to sleep, and comforted her, "Go to sleep, Your Majesty. You will forget this sad thing when you fall asleep."

Cining Palace

The Queen Mother, holding her pipe, frowned upon hearing the news and asked, "What did you say? Ruyi had a miscarriage? She can actually still give birth?"

Fujia had been surprised by the news, but now she calmly replied, "I'm also surprised. The Imperial Concubine has been childless, so how come she's pregnant out of the blue?"

The Queen Mother raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying that she faked her pregnancy?"

Fujia shook his head and said, "I didn't say that. I don't think the Imperial Concubine is that kind of person."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "Yes, with her eccentric personality, how could she have imagined a false pregnancy to frame someone? It's a pity for Concubine Mei, she almost soared to fame."

Fu Jia sighed, "Noble Lady Mei has gone astray, and the Imperial Noble Consort did it for the Emperor."

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "I used to say that Ruyi doesn't look like her aunt. Now I think she does look alike. Just for a man..."

The Queen Mother continued smoking and said nothing more.

Yangxindian

Hongli was in a bad mood and leaned on the couch.

Wang Qin tiptoed in and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Xu An requests an audience."

Hongli said calmly, "Announce."

Xu An: "Your Majesty, please turn over the card."

The tray only contained green cards of old favorites in the palace, such as Concubine Chun. Because new favorites like Lin Ruoyao had seduced the emperor, their cards were removed and they were not allowed to sleep with him.

Hongli glanced at them briefly and said disdainfully, "It's the same people coming and going. It's boring. Leave."

Xu An stepped back.

Wang Qin observed his expression and said, "Your Majesty, you have been on the throne for so long, it is time to select the concubines."

Hongli became interested and nodded, saying, "It's time to select the girls, Wang Qin. The selection will be fully handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites. No one else is allowed to interfere. The family backgrounds of the selected girls must be clear. Since we are going to select the girls, we must carefully choose a few suitable candidates."

Wang Qin laughed and said, "Yeah."

Khorchin Prince's Palace

Jingqin and Jingse also packed up Korchin and prepared to return to Beijing.

Hua Nian came in hurriedly and said, "Princess, there's an urgent message from the palace."

Jingqin took it and read it, then handed it to Jingse. Jingse took it and read it carefully. She was shocked and said in disbelief: "Ruyi had a miscarriage? She can still give birth? Could it be that she deliberately framed Mei Guiren?"

Jingqin said helplessly: "Even Ruyi, with her pig brain, framed Mei Guiren? This is probably true."

Jingse asked, "What should we do then?"

Jingqin smiled and said, "Isn't Mei Guiren's father good at storytelling? Let him send people to spread the word that he finally has a daughter who can be the master's wife. If he doesn't move now, when does he want to move?"

Jingse was surprised and asked, "Didn't her father get promoted to a Beijing official because of Concubine Mei?"

Jingqin raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if we want an official from Beijing, the prefect of Hangzhou is so far away, what's the point? By the time he finishes his work in Hangzhou, the grass on Concubine Mei's grave will be three meters high."

Jingse was worried about Hongli's reputation and said, "I will write a letter to the prince consort and ask him to do it."

Jingqin nodded and said, "After we finish writing, we have to return to Beijing quickly."

Jingse nodded and went to write the letter quickly.

Yongshou Palace

The autumn wind was blowing gently, the sky was high and the air was crisp, but only the Yongshou Palace looked desolate.

Lin Ruoyao complained to Ning Xi, "Once I fell out of favor and couldn't see the emperor anymore, Yongshou Palace became deserted."

Ning Xi whispered to comfort him, "Don't be sad, my dear. Fortunately, the princess from the Imperial Household Department has said hello and didn't neglect us. She sent a letter saying that the princess will be back soon. Don't worry, my dear. We will be able to get out soon. Lord Lin is also helping us."

Cining Palace

Fujia massaged the Queen Mother's legs and reported, "Several of the princesses I selected were eliminated in the first two rounds of the selection."

The Queen Mother put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Isn't she outstanding enough?"

Fu Jia sighed and said, "The Emperor said that the daughters of powerful officials will not be selected, nor will the daughters of officials from past dynasties. If the status is too low, they will not be selected either."

The Queen Mother sneered, "The Emperor is really quite defensive."

Fujia: "Tomorrow is the day for the palace selection. The Emperor has already come to invite the Empress Dowager. Tomorrow, the Emperor, the Imperial Noble Consort, and I will participate in the selection together."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "They're holding a beauty pageant in the name of celebrating my sixtieth birthday, but I'm not allowed to ask about it. Why should I bother with this? Let the Emperor make the decision himself."

Body Yuan Hall

Hongli sat high on the throne as rows of beautiful women passed by. Ruyi sat beside the emperor, looking at the women with a cold expression.

Eunuch A called out the names of the women: "... Xilin Jueluo, daughter of E Shun, the governor of the Bordered Blue Banner; Lin, daughter of Baitang Afoyin of the Bordered White Banner; Baierguosi, daughter of Demuqi Seyinchak of the Abahai tribe..."

Xilinjueluo was given the title of Xichangzai, Lin was given the title of Gongchangzai, and Baierguosi was given the title of Keguiren. Among them, Gongchangzai and Xichangzai lived in Xianfu Palace, while Keguiren lived in Yanxi Palace.

The draft is over, and it’s winter again.

Gyeongin Palace

The concubines sat at attention, while Lin Ruoyao and the others remained under house arrest. Concubine Gong, Concubine Xi, and Concubine Ke bowed.

Eunuch B: "The three newlyweds pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine."

Three people: "I pay my respects to the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi said calmly, "Stand up. Take a seat."

After the three of them sat down, the scene fell into complete silence. Ruyi was in a bad mood and was too lazy to say anything polite.

The other concubines were even less willing to help Ruyi ease the atmosphere, and Concubine Ke hadn't noticed anything was amiss. Concubine Gong and Concubine Xi stood up and said, "Excuse me, I greet you all, sisters."

Concubine Ke took the lead in paying respects. She did not pay respects to other concubines, but only to Ruyi. Concubine Gong and Concubine Xi could only follow Concubine Ke. Now seeing that the other concubines ignored her, they hurriedly stood up and made up for the formalities.

Ke Guiren was very contemptuous. When she was learning the rules, she knew that the Imperial Noble Consort was the boss of the harem. Why should she please others? Moreover, the Imperial Noble Consort was gentle and kind, which she liked very much.

Gong Changzai and Xi Changzai didn't think so. Ruyi had a debt-ridden look on her face from beginning to end during the selection, and they had a bad impression of Ruyi.

Su Lujun, the good-natured woman, couldn't bear to see others embarrassed, so she tried to smooth things over by saying, "Once we're in the palace, we're all sisters. It's the Queen Mother's sixtieth birthday, so let's have some fun."

Concubine Gong and Concubine Xi nodded in agreement, but Concubine Ke remained unmoved.

Su Lujun smiled and said, "Sisters, you can come to my palace when you have time. I have the best Longjing tea here."

Ruyi, who had lost her voice, regained her voice upon hearing this. She smiled faintly and said, "I remember that Concubine Ke was born in Mongolia. I'm afraid she wouldn't be very accustomed to southern tea."

Noble Lady Ke continued, "I am used to drinking milk tea."

Su Lujun was a little embarrassed. The concubines who had received Su Lujun's favor couldn't help it, especially Yihuan.

Yihuan's tenth prince was raised by Su Lujun, who gave birth to three princes and raised the third prince, who was seriously poisoned, safely to adulthood. She was very experienced. For the sake of her child, Yihuan shamelessly went over to him.

In this selection, Hongli chose the Borjigit clan from Khorchin, who was Jingqin's family, for the third prince.

Yi Huan said coldly, "If you are not used to drinking it, don't come to my house. My wife and I also like to drink Longjing tea. It seems that I and Concubine Ke are not destined to be together."

Ruyi, with a face full of sarcasm, was speechless. She didn't expect Yihuan to turn against her and go against her.

Ruyi changed the subject, "I'm not feeling well. The decoration of Yanxi Palace and Xianfu Palace was handled by the Imperial Household Department. Are you all satisfied?"

Noble Lady Ke continued, "I originally thought that after leaving the grasslands, I would be in the palace. I didn't expect that the Yanxi Palace where I live would have a sense of home. I feel very close to it."

Ruyi said calmly, "As long as he is satisfied, you should also start learning the rules to serve the emperor."

Three people: "Yes."

Cining Palace

Fujia came in and said, "Empress Dowager."

The Queen Mother asked, "Have the gifts for the three newlyweds been given?"

Fu Jia smiled and said, "All the rewards have been given. The three newcomers who came to pay their respects today are all generous and polite girls, and they seem to be well-behaved."

The Queen Mother sighed, "I think the Emperor is tired of the intrigues in the harem, so the people he chose this time are relatively obedient..."

Fujia smiled and said, "Why would the Queen Mother worry about them? Your sixtieth birthday is coming soon. The various princes and dukes have sent gifts, as well as the treasures presented by the Emperor. If you have time, please take a look..."

The Queen Mother sighed, "I am already sixty years old. I wonder if I will have the chance to see Hengchu again."

Fuga comforted her, "It will happen, Queen Mother."

Yanxi Palace

Concubine Ke was making a snowman, and Hongli was sitting in the corridor watching.

Concubine Ke ran to the emperor and took his hand, saying, "Your Majesty, I have built my snowman. Please come and give him some eyes."

Hongli had no choice but to stand up and put two eyes on the snowman.
