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

Yangxindian

Hongli stood in front of the scroll in a daze. He had given so many options and was still considering last night which one Yongqi would like better. Unexpectedly, Yongqi chose an unexpected answer.

Hongli thought carefully about Tian Yuner's appearance. Although she was pretty, she was not very outstanding. Did Yongqi actually like this type?

Hongli sighed. Although her filial piety was commendable, her status was too low and she was not suitable to be the principal wife. If Yongqi liked her, he could make her a concubine.

Hongli: "Yuhu, put these scrolls away."

Yu Hu: "Yes."

long street

Chen Wanyin was walking alone, and Ruyi caught up with her.

Ruyi: "Princess Wen, Yongqi has reached the age for marriage and it's time for him to get married. Most of the people the Emperor has chosen are from prominent families, which shows how much he values ​​Yongqi.

After all, your mother has neither status nor favor, and no maternal family to rely on. It would also be helpful for Yongqi to marry a noble lady from a high-class family."

Chen Wanyin, stop. Ruyi is here to pierce her heart, right? First she pointed out her low status, and now she's coming up to her and blatantly saying she's a burden to Yongqi. She hasn't provoked Ruyi, has she?

Chen Wanyin: "My Imperial Concubine, Yongqi has no such intentions, and I do not wish to force him. It is up to Yongqi to decide which wife he wants to marry."

Ruyi: "Yongqi's marriage was naturally arranged by his parents and the matchmaker. Yongqi is young and ignorant now, and he chose his own wife based on his own preferences. Does that mean Concubine Wen will indulge him?"

Chen Wanyin said calmly, "So the Imperial Concubine also knows that this is the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Your Majesty and I haven't said anything. This matter is not the Imperial Concubine's turn to intervene, right?"

Ruyi was choked by Chen Wanyin's soft response and pouted angrily, "I am nominally Yongqi's adoptive mother, so why can't I take care of it? The emperor didn't say anything because he was concerned about Yongqi's reputation. Concubine Wen, you should also think about Yongqi.

If Yongqi marries Yiyungege, the daughter of Fu Seng'e, then Yonghuang and Yongzhang will be left with nothing to catch up to. As for Tian, ​​if Yongqi really likes her, he can make her his concubine."

Chen Wanyin sneered, "And then follow your old ways, Imperial Noble Consort? Favoring concubines over wives, causing unrest in the family?"

Ruyi said coldly, "You! Concubine Wen, I am thinking about Yongqi. If you persist in your wrongdoings and commit crimes, I will not let you off lightly."

Chen Wanyin said calmly, "I wonder how I have angered the Imperial Concubine. I've already said that Yongqi's marriage is his own decision, so there's no need for the Imperial Concubine to worry about it."

Ruyi angrily said, "Princess Wen, you... you are stubborn and rebellious, you are disrespectful and your words are disrespectful. I will punish you by slapping your face ten times!"

Jin Xin's eyes widened in disbelief, not daring to move forward. The others, however, were more convinced of Chen Wanyin's loyalty than Ruyi, the head of Jingren Palace. How could they possibly take action?

Ruyi glared at Jinxin and said angrily, "Jinxin!" She was so useless. If it were Rong Pei, she would have stepped forward long ago!

Chen Wanyin bowed calmly and said, "Don't bother me, Imperial Noble Consort. I remember that you have no right to punish a concubine. Moreover, I am telling the truth, so how can I be disrespectful? Since Imperial Noble Consort doesn't like it, then I will not say anything more. I will take my leave."

After saying that, Chen Wanyin turned and left. Ruyi stood there helplessly and furious. Ruyi glanced coldly at the palace maids, but it was not easy to punish them, so she left angrily.

Yangxindian

Ruyi stood at the door and kept hypnotizing herself: You are doing this for Yongqi’s sake, you are doing this for Yongqi’s sake... Finally, she prepared herself mentally and planned to walk into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Wang Qin stopped her and said, "Royal Concubine? Why are you here?"

Ruyi said calmly, "I'm here to see the Emperor."

Wang Qin waited for a while, but Ruyi just looked at him in confusion.

Wang Qin: What are you looking for the Emperor for? Tell me!

Wang Qin and Ruyi confronted each other for a while, but Wang Qin was defeated and accepted his fate and went in to report.

Wang Qin: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Noble Consort is here."

Hongli nodded and said, "Let her in."

Wang Qin now understood why Ruyi didn't tell the reason. It turned out that Ruyi had already guessed that Hongli would not ask!

Wang Qin: “Yeah.”

Ruyi came in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Hongli waved his hand and said, "Stand up, sit down, why is the Imperial Noble Consort here? Come and see the wives I have chosen for Yongqi and Yongcheng."

Ruyi sat aside proudly and asked, "Yongsheng? Isn't he accompanying Concubine Hui in the Jinan Palace?"

Hongli was in a good mood and nodded, "Yes, he is old now. Xiyue and Langya selected several ladies for him in Jinan, but they were not satisfied with any of them. They said that my selection was more reliable and wrote to me to choose one for Yongcheng."

In fact, it was Gao Xiyue's love for her son that took over. She wanted to use this incident to tell Hongli that he had a child named Yongcheng, and by the way, find a wife with a more powerful family for Yongcheng.

Although the girls in Jinan are nice, they are still not good enough in Beijing.

Gao Xiyue was also afraid that Yongsheng would not live well after she left.

Ruyi pinched her handkerchief. Why did the emperor call Gao Xiyue and Fucha Langya by their maiden names, but call her Imperial Noble Consort?

Seeing that Ruyi had been ignoring him, Hongli's desire to share in the joy faded, and he called out, "Royal Noble Consort?"

Ruyi was still struggling with the title, but couldn't say it directly, so she just said lightly, "The one chosen by the Emperor is naturally the best."

Hongli smiled happily and said, "Look, these are the wives I have chosen for Yongcheng and Yongqi."

Ruyi looked at it carefully, frowned, and asked, "The Fourth Concubine is Yirgen Gioro, the daughter of Fu Seng'e, and the Fifth Concubine is Xilin Gioro? Why did the Emperor choose Xilin Gioro as the Fifth Concubine?"

Hongli: “I know that Xilin Gioro’s grandfather, Ortai, was guilty, but there is no need to make his descendants feel uneasy day and night because of their ancestors’ blame.

Yongqi married Ortai's granddaughter, firstly to show the royal family's magnanimity; secondly to comfort Ortai's entire family and encourage his nephews who were still serving in the court."

Ruyi: "Then why did Yongqi marry her? Couldn't Yongsheng have been the same?"

Hongli: "Yongsheng is also acceptable... but I have already arranged for him to marry Irgen Jueluo, the daughter of Fu Seng'e. Yongsheng's mother was a convicted slave in the Xinzheku, and he is of the Yu clan. He is the lowest-ranking prince among the princes, so he needs a legitimate wife from a distinguished family."

Ruyi found a breakthrough and said with a smile: "The emperor only considers family background, but not how people get along with each other."

Hongli asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Ruyi smiled and said, "The Irgen Jueluo family has a distinguished family background and royal blood, and they are also arrogant. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to get along with Concubine Hui, who has a childish temper.

Although Xilinjueluo comes from a prominent family, Ortai committed a crime that implicated his children. Xilinjueluo has a strong and docile character and will definitely get along well with Concubine Hui.

Hongli nodded thoughtfully, saying, "That makes some sense. Then aren't you afraid of a conflict between Concubine Wen and the Irgen Gioro clan?"

Ruyi said indifferently, "Princess Wen has a gentle and kind nature. She will definitely not clash with the Irgen Jueluo clan. But the same cannot be said for Concubine Hui."

Hongli was convinced and nodded, saying, "When Yongcheng and Xiyue return to the capital in a few days, I will ask them what they think.

If they agree, I will issue an order for Yongsheng to marry Xilin Gioro as his principal wife, and Yongqi to marry Irgen Gioro as his principal wife."

Ruyi: "What about Tian, ​​the one Yongqi has his eye on?"

Hongli: "She is of low status, so she should be a concubine."

Ruyi nodded and said, "That's good. It can be considered as fulfilling Yongqi's wish."

Side Hall of Jingren Palace

When Yongqi heard that Ruyi went to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, he felt a little uneasy. Based on his understanding of Ruyi and her stubborn personality, she must have something wrong if she took the initiative to break the cold war with Hongli and ran to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

Yongqi sat by the window and saw Ruyi returning to the palace with a smile on her face. He became even more worried and felt a little restless.

Seeing Yongqi's hands shaking from worry as he read, Chen Wanyin sighed and ordered, "Shunxin, here are ten taels of silver. Go up front and ask what the Imperial Noble Consort did in the Yangxin Palace?"

Shunxin: “Hey.”

After one stick of incense, Shunxin came back.

The mother and son looked at Shunxin with anxious eyes.

Shunxin whispered, "The Imperial Concubine went to the Yangxin Palace to discuss the prince's marriage with the Emperor. I heard that they had agreed on the daughter of Fu Seng'e. I was afraid that the prince and his master would not agree, so they suppressed it for now and waited for the Empress Hui to agree before announcing the decree together."

Chen Wanyin looked at Yongqi worriedly.

Yongqi asked blankly, "Who has Fourth Brother chosen as his wife?"

Shunxin: "I asked a few questions and it was confirmed that she was the granddaughter of E'ertai."

Yongqi's world was falling apart. He had actually swapped wives with his fourth brother? Such absurdity was actually possible in the world.

Yongqi stood up and said anxiously, "No, mother, I have to go find the emperor!"

Chen Wanyin said helplessly, "No, Yongqi, don't you understand? The Imperial Concubine is spreading rumors, and we two can't stop her. After all, she is your nominal adoptive mother.

If you really like Tian, ​​and she becomes your concubine in the future, please persuade your wife not to make things difficult for her."

Yongqi became even more uneasy after hearing this. Considering Chen Wanyin and Yunjiao's personalities, they couldn't defeat Irgen Jueluo even if they were two against one. He had no power now, so how could he protect them?

Yongqi said anxiously, "Mother, how about I go and ask the Emperor for help?"

Chen Wanyin nodded, and the mother and son went to the Yangxin Palace to ask Tian to be the legitimate wife, but were scolded and driven out by Hongli.

Yongqi was accused of being obsessed with beauty and not striving for progress, while Chen Wanyin was accused of doting on Yongqi and being a poor parent.

The mother and son walked lonely on the long street.

Chen Wanyin comforted him, "Yongqi, this is fate. Now that we have become the Imperial Noble Consort, we can't escape it."

Yongqi looked up, not believing it was fate. In this life, he had successfully avoided Ruyi's upbringing. Doesn't this mean that fate can be changed? Just like in his previous life, there was no Jingqin in the palace.

Jingqin?!

Yongqi said in surprise, "Mother, I have found a solution. I will take my leave now."

Chen Wanyin looked bewildered as she watched Yongqi run away happily.
