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

Cining Palace

When the Queen Mother heard the news, she was surprised and asked, "What did you say? The Emperor fell off his horse while chasing a wild horse? And the Emperor was injured?"

Fujia nodded and said, "Fortunately, the injury is not serious. The Empress Dowager should rest assured. I have also sent someone to pass on a message to express the Empress Dowager's concern for the Emperor."

The Queen Mother nodded: "Well done."

Fujia: "The Emperor is extremely delighted to hear that Princess Yongle has made a great contribution in saving his life."

The Queen Mother sighed, "Although the Queen's legitimate son is sickly, she has given birth to two wonderful daughters. With them around, the Queen can live out her days in peace."

The Queen Mother also thought of her daughter and asked, "Fujia, how long has it been since Hengchu wrote to me?"

Fujia thought carefully and said worriedly, "It's been more than half a year. Queen Mother, if you receive a letter, it means you are safe. If you don't receive a letter, it also means you are safe."

The Queen Mother nodded in agreement. "As long as everything is safe, it's good. As long as everything is safe, it's good."

Hongli had a serious accident while chasing a wild horse and was in no mood to continue his autumn hunt. After his injury healed, he prepared to return to Beijing.

Yangxindian

Hongli summoned Fuheng, Ling Yunche, Jingse, Jingqin and others to talk.

Hongli: "Although I am not seriously implicated in the Mulan Autumn Hunt incident, it is ultimately the fault of the hunting ground officials. What do you think I should do?"

Fu Heng calmly replied, "Those implicated must be severely punished to serve as a warning to future generations."

Hongli looked at Ling Yunche and said, "Ling Yunche, you once worked at Mulan Paddock. What do you think?"

Ling Yunche lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I am a humble servant with limited knowledge and am only a warrior. I really don't understand the reasoning behind this. It is best to follow Your Majesty's judgment."

Hongli: "What do Jingqin and Jingse think?"

Jingse was surprised and asked, "Father, are you asking me?"

Hongli nodded and said, "You say."

Jingse was furious: "I think a severe punishment is necessary. Wild horses are wild and difficult to tame. How can we just let it hurt the emperor?"

Hongli: "Jingqin, go ahead."

Jingqin: "I think that the injuries sustained by the Emperor in the enclosure this time, which damaged his body, are also due to the negligence of the officials in the enclosure. The wild horses are in heat, and the people in the palace can't see it. How can the officials who are used to the enclosure not see it?

I agree with Jingse and my uncle. We must punish the officials in the enclosure. Only by teaching them a lesson can they be more careful and attentive in the future."

Hongli nodded and said with a smile, "You are thinking of me with good intentions. However, I am also responsible for this incident in the enclosure. I cannot bear to punish you severely, so please be lenient."

Jingqin and the other two said, "Your Majesty is wise and wise!"

Hongli thought about it and felt that the reward he gave to Ling Yunche this time was not heavy enough and could not reflect his kindness. He had already thought of a foolproof method yesterday.

Hongli said, "Ling Yunche, you have served the emperor well, but you are over thirty and still unmarried. I have found a suitable candidate for you. Her name is Maoqian. She is from the Sakda clan of the Bordered Blue Banner and is a Manchu princess. Her father was originally a clerk. Now she is alone, so she is a good match for you."

Ling Yunche pretended to evade the question, "Your Majesty, I am from the Lower Five Banners and my family is poor. I am afraid I am not worthy of Miss Mao Qian."

Hongli frowned and said, "You have been meritorious in protecting the emperor, so why shouldn't you be worthy of me? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with my arranged marriage?"

Ling Yunche was about to agree.

Mao Qian, who was waiting in the back, didn't care about anything else after hearing this. She rushed out and knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, since Guard Ling is unwilling, I dare to ask Your Majesty to revoke your order."

Ling Yunche was stunned. He originally wanted to refuse to prove that he didn't have to be with Mao Qian, but he didn't expect that Mao Qian would dislike him and his refusal was used as an excuse to refuse the marriage.

Hongli was also a little embarrassed. Jingqin stepped forward to smooth things over and said, "Since both of them are unwilling, then forget it. Don't let them become a couple of enemies instead of a perfect couple.

The Emperor finally granted you a favor, but you two refused it. So, Emperor, why don't you try another favor?"

Jingse agreed, "Yes, yes, since neither of you wants to get married, why not let the Emperor reward Ling Yunche with some gold and silver treasures? It won't be easy for him to refuse if he's given silver, right?"

Mao Qian knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Ling Yunche knelt down helplessly and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Mao Qian was very helpless. She actually had no choice, but she still stood up and rejected Hongli's arranged marriage. Mao Qian originally didn't care about getting married, but Ling Yunche didn't.

When Mao Qian delivered a reward to Ruyi a few years ago, she saw with her own eyes that Ling Yunche calmly walked into Jingren Palace and chatted and laughed with Ruyi. Is this something an ordinary guard can do?

Later, Ling Yunche was recommended by Ruyi to be the imperial guard, but was demoted because Ruyi spied on the emperor. Mao Qian had been the imperial aunt for so long, and her intuition told her that sooner or later something would happen to Ling Yunche!

Although she doesn't care who becomes her husband, her husband must not be someone who commits a capital crime!

She still has so much money and so many good days to live, why should she be dragged down by a loser who is from one of the five banners of the Han army and got to the top through nepotism?

Jingqin also saw the dissatisfaction in Hongli's eyes and said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants those around him to live a good life, and I understand your kindness. But Guard Ling is unwilling, and we can't force him to marry, right?

How about this? Among the elite soldiers that Your Majesty has given me, there are still many good men who are not married. How about Your Majesty giving Mao Qian to me? I promise that I can help Mao Qian marry a man of her dreams. Is that okay?

Hongli walked down the steps and said, "Well, Maoqian, I will give you to Yongle."

Mao Qian said in surprise: "I thank the emperor very much! I thank Princess Yongle very much!" Princess Yongle's elite soldiers... they are all good men carefully selected by the Fucha family!

Jingqin and Jingse joined hands and said, "Your sons will take their leave."

……

Gyeongin Palace

When Hongli was injured in the hunting ground, Ruyi was also very worried. She asked for a meeting several times, and Hongli's attitude softened a little, and the two reconciled.

Ling Yunche entered Jingren Palace in a state of despair. Ruyi stood in the courtyard, smiling and directing the maids. Ruyi and Rong Pei both expressed disdain for the flowers the maids had picked out.

The palace maid was angry but dared not say anything, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

Sanbao whispered, "My Lady, Lord Ling is here."

Ruyi turned around and saw Ling Yunche, and strode forward.

Ling Yunche bowed and said, "Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Are you back?"

Ling Yunche nodded and said, "Well, Royal Concubine, you asked me to return with dignity, and I dare not disappoint you."

Ruyi smiled and said, "I'm glad you're back. I'd like to thank you for saving the Emperor."

Ling Yunche lowered his head and said, "This is my humble duty."

Ruyi nodded and said, "Only by embracing merit and not forgetting one's roots can one achieve lasting success. The Emperor personally granting this marriage is an unparalleled honor."

Ling Yunche smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have never thought about getting married. It is a bit unexpected that the Emperor has granted me this marriage."

Ruyi whispered, "Men should marry when they are old enough, and women should marry when they are old enough. Getting married, having children, and starting a family is a different kind of life. The Princess Maoqian that the Emperor has chosen for you this time is also from a good family. You must treat her well."

Ling Yunche said awkwardly, "This humble minister and Princess Mao Qian are not destined to be together, and this humble minister does not want to get married so soon."

Ruyi was surprised, but she noticed Ling Yunche's embarrassment, so she didn't ask any more questions. The two of them tacitly changed the subject.

Princess Yongle's Mansion

Jingqin held the twin sisters in her arms, one on each side, and said with a smile, "Maoqian, do you have someone you like? I don't want to match you up with anyone casually."

Mao Qian kowtowed and said, "Mao Qian has no favorite person, but I will obey the princess' orders."

Jingqin smiled and said, "Since you don't have anyone you like, why don't you agree to the emperor's marriage?"

Mao Qian's face turned pale, and she resigned herself to her fate: "This servant has seen Ling Yunche before... He has close contacts with the Imperial Concubine."

Jingqin handed the two sisters over to Wei Yanwan and Huanian, and instructed them, "Let them go to their Amana."

Wei Yanwan and Huanian nodded, hugged the two sisters and left.

Jingqin smiled and said, "Oh? If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will arrest you and torture you?"

Mao Qian kowtowed and said, "Princess, you saved my life. From now on, my life belongs to you. I will do anything you ask me to do."

Jingqin raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you willing to go to Khorchin?"

Mao Qian: "I am willing!"

Jingqin: "This month you will follow me back to Korchin. My people will teach you some things. If you do well, you can choose any of the best soldiers."

Mao Qian said excitedly: "Thank you, Princess!" She had made the right bet!

Jingqin waved her hand and said, "Alright, go down and get ready."

Mao Qian excused herself. Huanian and Wei Yanwan approached with concern and asked, "Princess, is Mao Qian reliable?"

Jingqin: "Don't employ someone you doubt, and don't doubt someone you employ. Sangyu will help me keep an eye on her. Maoqian was once an imperial servant and can suppress Menghe. Once Maoqian becomes proficient, I will transfer Lancui back to the Princess's residence. Yanwan, you and Huanian will stay with me closely."

Wei Yanwan: "Yes."

……

A few days later, the Prince of Korchin's Mansion

Jingqin asked Lan Cui to hand over the affairs and taught Mao Qian how to handle government affairs. Mao Qian was cautious and smart, and had been in the imperial court for many years, so he learned some ways of managing affairs from what he saw and heard.

Maoqian picked up the skills quickly, and Jingqin was very satisfied. With Sangyu, Maoqian, and Menghe keeping each other in check, she no longer had to run back to Korchin every month.

Jingqin returned to Korchin, and Jingse stayed in the princess's mansion and did not go out. Hongli was very bored, so he took the empress dowager and concubines to the Old Summer Palace, and did not forget to inform Jingqin and Jingse before leaving.

Old Summer Palace Gardens

The Old Summer Palace was filled with vibrant flowers and green willows, and the air was filled with the scent of spring. Ruyi accompanied the emperor for a walk.

Hongli sighed, "This Old Summer Palace is much more breathable than the Forbidden City."

Ruyi smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is fond of gardens, and now that the country is prosperous and strong, he can combine the beauty of the south and the songs of the north into one garden. I like this place too."

Hongli asked, "Have all the concubines' accommodations been arranged? Especially the Empress Dowager, she likes quietness."

Ruyi enumerated them one by one, "The Empress Dowager likes the Eternal Spring Fairy Pavilion. The Emperor lives in the Nine Provinces Pure and Peaceful. I live in the East at Tiandi Yijiachun. Concubine Shu has requested the Chunyu Shuhe Pavilion, Concubine Mei lives in the Wanchun Pavilion, and Concubine Ke lives in the West at the Luxiangzhai..."

Hongli praised, "The Imperial Concubine is indeed thoughtful and considerate. The weather is getting hotter, and I plan to stay in the Old Summer Palace until July before returning to Beijing."

Ruyi nodded.

Qingyin Pavilion of the Old Summer Palace

The actors sang passionately on the stage.

Lin Ruoyao passed by and exclaimed: "The opera troupe in the Old Summer Palace is no worse than that in the Southern Mansion."

Ning Xi lowered her voice and said, "Speaking of which, the Emperor likes Kunqu Opera, and my voice is very suitable for singing Kunqu Opera."

Lin Ruoyao frowned and said, "Why bring this up?"

Ning Xi whispered, "There aren't many opera performances in the palace. If the master learns it, the emperor will definitely like it."

Lin Ruoyao understood what Ning Xi meant and smiled.

Yuanmingyuan Buddhist Hall

Yihuan prayed sincerely, "Buddha, please bless my child to grow up safely, free from disasters and illnesses. I beg you."

Yihuan kowtowed so sincerely that his forehead became swollen.

He Xi said worriedly, "My dear, please don't be sad. Doctor Bian said that my brother had a fever due to the change of seasons. He will definitely recover if he is carefully cared for."

Yi Huan whispered, "He Xi, tell me, did I do something wrong?"

He Xi was stunned and comforted: "Master, don't say anything..."

Yi Huan murmured, "If I hadn't been greedy and refused to listen to your advice, I would have taken the medicine without telling Doctor Bian. The Tenth Prince might have been healthy and healthy, and why would he have suffered so much? The Tenth Prince is only three years old now, and he wouldn't even cry when drinking bitter soup."

He Xi said worriedly: "Master..."

Yi Huan continued, "He Xi, am I really stupid? I used to tell the Imperial Concubine that the Empress had left for her son and that it was difficult for her to shoulder the responsibility of being the Queen Mother.

Now that it has happened to me, I wish I could sacrifice my life for the Tenth Prince, so why would I care about anything else? Perhaps this is my retribution."

He Xi said worriedly, "Master, don't say that. It was clearly the Imperial Concubine who was testing the medicine on you..."

Yi Huan interrupted, "He Xi, there's no need to say any more. The Imperial Concubine might not know about this. Didn't she also drink the medicine? Maybe the Imperial Concubine just means well."

He Xi was very anxious. It was because Ruyi didn't know the effect that she asked Yihuan to try the medicine first! Yihuan was fine before giving birth to the tenth prince. Who would have thought that the child was sick?

Ruyi was too anxious to drink, so she fell into the same trap as Yihuan! Hexi was almost desperate. The master was stubborn, so what could she, as a servant, do?

Yihuan prayed with all her heart. She didn't want to continue blaming Ruyi, as this would only make her look foolish. She had insisted on drinking the medicine, so who could she blame?

She asked Ruyi to let her stay at Chunyu Shuhe Pavilion to recuperate, and Ruyi agreed. She didn't want to dwell on her past mistakes, and just considered it retribution.
