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

Gyeongin Palace

Jinxin and Sanbao had a false alarm and escaped danger. They were sent back to Jingren Palace. Ruyi had already fallen asleep. Jinxin was stunned when she entered the room, sighed, and went out to look for Sanbao.

The two of them whispered for a long time and agreed that Rong Pei must not be allowed to die in the Ministry of Punishment. Ruyi was a person with a hateful personality, and neither of them wanted to serve her!

Ruyi was awakened by hunger at night and said in a hoarse voice, "Jinxin, Rongpei!"

Jin Xin came in through the curtain and asked, "My Lady, what are your instructions?"

Ruyi pouted and looked at Jinxin, who was confused. Ruyi sighed and asked, "Where's Rongpei?"

Jin Xin said dejectedly, "Rong Pei was arrested and taken to the Ministry of Punishment."

Ruyi looked confused, so Jinxin had to explain what happened today.

Ruyi was furious and said coldly, "Rong Pei saw how the midwives dragged their feet during my delivery, causing my little prince to die young. What injustice did they suffer?"

Jin Xin said helplessly: "My Queen, the key is that we have no evidence!"

Ruyi gave Jinxin a cold look. What evidence did she need to prove her actions? Wouldn't it be enough to throw it to the Ministry of Punishment?

Jin Xin completely surrendered. To someone like Ruyi, saying anything was as good as saying nothing. Jin Xin asked, "Your Majesty, what about Rong Pei? She's still in the Ministry of Punishment."

Ruyi said calmly, "The Ministry of Punishment loves to torture people, and they will definitely not let Rong Pei die like this. We just need to wait."

Jin Xin was very surprised. Waiting for what? Waiting for Rong Pei to survive the seventy-two tortures?

Jinxin looked strange and didn't want to talk to Ruyi anymore, so she turned around and went to Sanbao to discuss countermeasures.

……

Jin Xin: "That's what that person said. I'm afraid Rong Pei won't be able to come back..."

Sanbao: "No! If Rong Pei doesn't come back, won't she come after us if she wants to do something bad? Our nine clans are not enough for her to deal with alone."

Jin Xin said in despair, "She refuses to save me, and I have no other choice. If all else fails, how about we just get married and leave the palace?"

Sanbao: "Good idea! I don't want to stay in this shabby place for even a moment. If I stay any longer, I might end up in the Ministry of Punishment again."

The two raised their heads and looked at each other. There was no love in their eyes, only the desire to live.

But Sanbao and Jinxin were just talking. If they really got together, they would have no way to escape. They both felt that their future was hopeless!

Yangxin Palace Study

Hongli was so confused by this that he stood in front of the map, accompanied by Liu Tongxun, Fuheng and Jingqin.

Liu Tongxun: "Your Majesty, now that the four seas are pacified, the Yu clan is loyal to the Qing Dynasty. Dzungar has been pacified, and the Khorchin and Mongolian tribes are even closer to the Qing Dynasty."

Hongli: "That's good. But this Han tribe..."

Fu Heng continued, "The Han tribe has long shared common interests with the Junggar tribe. Now that the Junggars have been pacified, only by pacifying the Han tribe can we truly achieve peace within the country."

Jingqin nodded and said, "Uncle is right. In fact, the defeat of the Dzungar Khanate has frightened the Han tribe and made them want to show goodwill to the Qing Dynasty."

Hongli asked, "Show goodwill? How do you show goodwill?"

Jingqin smiled and said, "Hanti, the leader of the Han tribe, has a daughter who is very beautiful. She is revered as a saint by the tribes in the border areas and is worshipped as a deity."

Hongli was somewhat interested, but considering that his ministers and Jingqin were all there, he waved his hand and said, "I understand. You can go down first. I will think about it."

Everyone: "Yes."

After everyone left, Wang Qin sneaked in holding a plate with the list on it.

Hongli asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Wang Qin flattered, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has urged you many times, but you haven't even looked at the list of concubines yet."

Hongli reached out and took the list, flipping through it casually, and asked thoughtfully, "Did Jingqin's Khorchin tribe also send someone?"

Wang Qin flattered him, “Yes, this is the eldest daughter of the Prince Consort’s uncle, the youngest daughter married the Third Prince, and this one was promised to three families, but all three fiancés had accidents before the wedding and could not get married.

The prince asked the shaman to tell his fortune, and the shaman said that only the person with the most noble destiny in the world could suppress this person's destiny, so he sent him to the palace from thousands of miles away.

The princess asked me to tell you that if you like her, you can have her taken to the Imperial Observatory for a look. If you like her, you can keep her. If you don't like her, you can send her back to Khorchin. She will return to Khorchin and never marry again."

Hongli was of course interested, and said with forced composure, "Then let the Imperial Observatory take a look."

……

Yangxindian

Yu Hu took out several scrolls and hung them on the wall, and Hongli asked Yongqi to look at the portraits with him.

Chen Wanyin and Ruyi arrived one after another. Although Ruyi did not raise Yongqi, she was Yongqi's adoptive mother in name.

Yongqi bowed and said, "Your son pays his respects to Empress Xian and Mother."

Ruyi and Chen Wanyin bowed and said, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Hongli waved his hand, walked back to his seat, and said, "No need to be polite, Imperial Noble Consort, Concubine Wen, Yongqi, you all take a seat."

Ruyi and Chen Wanyin: "Yes."

Hongli: "I think Yongqi is now sixteen years old and it's time to discuss marriage. Here are the portraits that Ruyi Pavilion painted for several ladies. You can take a look and choose a good one for Yongqi."

Chen Wanyin said happily, "Your Majesty loves Yongqi, I am overjoyed."

Hongli smiled and said, "Yongqi, this is your own business. Come and take a look. Yuhu, can you introduce the ladies in the portraits?"

Yu Hu walked up to the portrait and introduced it, "This one is of Fucha Yunjing, the fourth daughter of the Empress's younger brother, Lord Fuheng.

This is Niu Hulu Yingyue, the niece of the Empress Dowager's mother's family.

This is Suo Chuolun Zhangzhu, the daughter of Guan Bao, the Left Vice-Minister of the Third Rank.

This is Ortai's granddaughter Xilinjueluo Hanchun,

This is Irgen Jueluo Yiyun, the daughter of Sanzhi Minister Fu Seng'e.

The last painting is of Wu Yuanhe, the daughter of Wu Pintai, the seventh-rank treasurer."

Ruyi frowned and said, "This time we are choosing a wife for Yongqi, and Wu's family background is a bit low."

Seeing that Ruyi started to point fingers again, Chen Wanyin clenched her handkerchief tightly, but Ruyi was thinking about Yongqi, so Chen Wanyin did not say anything.

Yongqi frowned. Xilin Jueluo Hanchun was his wife in his previous life. She was kind-hearted and could tolerate Yunjiao, but he was not satisfied. He wanted Yunjiao to be his wife.

But Yunjiao's status in this life is even lower than her previous life, she is not even qualified to be a concubine...

Yongqi secretly asked someone to ask Tian Mama's family if they were willing to send Tian Yun'er as a concubine, but was chased out by Tian Mama's family with a big stick...

Yunjiao was unwilling to be a concubine in this life. After much thought, Yongqi decided to try his best to marry Yunjiao as his wife.

Yu Hu explained, "But this Wu is a famous beauty, so the emperor is also included in the list."

Yongqi bowed and said, "Father Your Majesty, I am still young, and my priority is to study and serve. Besides, I choose a wife of virtue; her appearance is not important, and her family background is not important either."

Hongli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ms. Wu is beautiful. If she can't be the principal wife, she can be a concubine as well."

Chen Wanyin looked at Yongqi in surprise. So Yongqi likes this type of princess?

Yongqi bowed and said, "Father, although Wu is beautiful, I don't like her, and I don't want to indulge in beauty."

Hongli: "Well, Imperial Noble Consort, Concubine Wen, you should also pick one for Yongqi."

Chen Wanyin smiled and said, "What do I know? Naturally, everyone the emperor chooses is good."

Ruyi: "I think Yirgen Jueluo Yiyun, the daughter of Sanzhi Minister Fu Seng'e, is a good choice. Her maternal grandfather is Prince Yi, a member of the imperial family, so her bloodline is naturally noble."

The corners of Yongqi's mouth twitched. Ruyi was really good at picking. This was the one with the worst temper. If he really married her, his mother Chen Wanyin would have no place to cry.

Hongli asked, "Yongqi, which one do you like?"

Yongqi knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Father Emperor, Empress Xian, Mother, I am guilty. I have fallen in love with a commoner, Tian Yun'er."

Ruyi's smile froze as she retorted, "A commoner? How can someone of such low status be worthy of someone like you, Yongqi?"

The Han Chinese Chen Wanyin was attacked indiscriminately by Ruyi. She opened her mouth but said nothing.

Yongqi argued, "I believe that a woman of virtue should be chosen, not a humble family background. Tian went to the palace to rescue my mother, showing courage and resolve. I like her and want to marry her as my first wife."

Hongli also said: "If you like Yongqi, I can make her a concubine. Considering her status, making her a concubine is already marrying up."

Yongqi kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for thinking of me. I love Tian Yun'er, just as Your Majesty loves Empress Xian. Even if Tian Yun'er is of low status, I don't care. I just want to marry her as my wife."

Hongli sighed, "I will think it over carefully. Yongqi, you should go back to the Shangshufang first. Imperial Noble Consort, Concubine Wen, you should go back first as well."

Yongqi bowed and said, "Yes. I will take my leave."

Ruyi and Chen Wanyin: "Yes, I will take my leave."

A few people went out.

Yangxindian

Yongqi came out and wiped the sweat from his palms.

Yongqi's personal eunuch came forward and asked, "Why are you sweating so much after just one visit? I'm giving you a wife, it's a happy occasion."

Yongqi sighed and walked towards the Shangshufang.

Cining Palace

Hongli sat in front of the Empress Dowager.

The Queen Mother said: "Emperor, the rankings for this selection are almost finalized. You can take a look too."

Hongli took the list, flipped through it, and said, "Son, I know. This Suo Chuolun, the daughter of Minister of Rites Debao, is a Noble Lady of Rui. There are also several other Noble Ladies of lower rank."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "These people are not the most important. The most important thing is E Yinzhu, the daughter sent by Prince Saisang of the Khorchin tribe."

Hongli nodded and said, "Jingqin has also mentioned this to my son. Jingqin married into the Khorchin tribe, and the Khorchin tribe also sent the Eyinzhu. This Manchu-Mongolian marriage is very close.

My son has made up his mind. He will appoint Borjigit as Consort Yu, and she will be the main concubine when she enters the palace."

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "That's good. Let Concubine Chun take care of arranging the new couple's accommodations."
