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

Yangxindian

Hongli sat down to look at the full map of the Forbidden City, while Qin Li stood respectfully.

Hongli pointed to a certain place and said, "Given Xiangjian's personality, she would be out of place in the palace. Now that Yingpin has made such a fuss, Xiangjian might cause trouble in the palace in the future. I have been eyeing this place for a long time, you must speed up the renovation."

Qin Li nodded and said, "Yes, I am already doing it. Your Majesty, don't worry."

Hongli: "I just want to give her the best."

Qin Li: "Well, I will take my leave."

Wang Qin came in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, Princess Yongle and Princess Hejing request an audience."

Hongli: "Let them in."

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

Hongli: "He Jing is here too? Please sit down."

Jingse said worriedly, "Such a big thing happened in the palace. I can't sit still in the princess's mansion."

Hongli: "Are you blaming me too?"

Jingse shook his head and said, "Father, I am not worried about anyone else, I am only worried about you."

Hongli asked doubtfully, "What are you worried about?"

Jingse sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what Yingpin said is indeed arrogant, but it is also for the sake of Your Majesty's reputation. Your Majesty is infatuated with the Han family. Who in the capital doesn't know it?"

Hongli glanced at Jingqin and asked, "Jingqin?"

Jingqin said worriedly, "Yes, Your Majesty, although I have already reprimanded Yingpin yesterday, Yingpin is not the only one in the harem who dislikes the Han family. Your Majesty also has to consider his own reputation."

Hongli rubbed his eyebrows and said, "You two are the only ones who care about the Emperor. Yonghuang and Yongrong, those two rebellious sons! Why are you secretly coveting my throne?"

Jingqin and Jingse looked at each other.

Jingse consoled him, "Father Emperor, my eldest brother and sixth brother were simply instigated by those with ulterior motives. Father Emperor, you have been away from state affairs for so long because of the Han family, and it's inevitable that people in the court are uneasy."

Jingqin echoed, "Yes, Father Emperor, the court still has to make the decision on your behalf."

Hongli looked at Jingqin and asked, "Jingqin, are those ministers giving you trouble again?"

Jingqin sighed and said, "Father Your Majesty, the ministers have all ignored the memorials I reviewed. I am truly helpless. Father Your Majesty, matters at court still require your decision."

Hongli sneered, "I think they are tired of living!"

Day 2: Hall of Supreme Harmony

The ministers had already agreed to write a joint letter asking Hongli to distribute the power of reviewing memorials to several princes.

But they didn't know that a spy had informed Jingqin of this matter yesterday. Jingqin had been deceived early on, and they were destined to return empty-handed.

As soon as the Imperial Censor finished speaking, everyone knelt down to plead for mercy when they were scolded by Hongli in the court. Several princes also suffered from this unprovoked disaster.

Jingqin looked lonely, like a downtrodden chick.

Hongli became even more furious and cursed in the court: "The people are making irresponsible remarks about the Han family, and none of you dared to remonstrate with me, except Jingqin and Jingse who came to remind me.

I've only asked Jingqin to review memorials on my behalf, yet you all swarm out here. Who do you want to replace me? Yonghuang? Yongzhang? Yongqi? Or Yongrong?"

The four people who were named trembled, knelt down and saluted, saying: "Father Your Majesty, your sons and ministers absolutely do not have such intentions!"

The ministers also kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this humble official is thinking about the court!"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. As soon as he did, Hongli became even angrier and cursed, "For the sake of the court? Why don't you think about my reputation? You're thinking about my throne, aren't you?"

The minister kowtowed and begged for mercy, saying, "Your Majesty, I absolutely do not have such intentions!"

Your Majesty, open your eyes and look. Jingqin, who is below you, is the one who is truly worried! Where have they not tried to persuade Han Shi? It's clear that Hongli just won't listen!

Hongli scolded everyone so harshly that they were completely humiliated.

After Hongli finished scolding, he did not forget to add: "It is my intention that Jingqin review the memorials on my behalf. If you still dare to pretend to obey and deliberately delay, it means that you do not take my will into consideration."

The court was completely silent.

Jingqin knelt down and kowtowed neatly, saying, "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

Fu Heng led the other ministers in echoing, "We obey your orders."

Some sober ministers were about to curse, but they had no choice but to accept defeat and follow the crowd in paying their respects.

Hongli waved his hand with satisfaction and said, "Let's go."

Hongli threw all the memorials to Jingqin, and he became much more idle. The incident of Yingpin shocked the harem again, so Hongli went to Chengqian Palace to report every day.

Before I knew it, another March had passed.

Cheng Qiangong

Han Xiangjian sat in front of the window, fiddling with the clock in front of her blankly.

Hongli was drunk today. He walked in with a staggering step and came to Han Xiangjian's side.

Hongli drunkenly said, "Xiangjian, are you looking at the Western clock I gave you? Well, tonight, I'll give you a gift too. Jinzhong."

Jinzhong came in holding the palace dress: "Your servant is here."

Hongli drunkenly introduced: "This is something I specifically asked the Imperial Household Department to prepare for you. I thought it would look great on you and would definitely make you look elegant and graceful. Put it on."

After saying that, Hongli patted Han Xiangjian on the shoulder, but Han Xiangjian avoided him in disgust.

Han Xiangjian said coldly: "I am in mourning and I won't wear your clothes!"

Jinzhong advised: "Master Han, this is also the emperor's good intention."

Hongli suppressed his anger and said, "Xiangjian, there should be a limit to your willfulness. Since you came to the palace, you have caused so many troubles, and I have protected you. What else do you want?"

Han Xiangjian said coldly: "I am Han Qi's widow. I will be his for all eternity. In short, your life has nothing to do with me. I don't want to see you, nor do I want to hear you speak."

Hongli: "Open your eyes and see, you are already in my harem."

Han Xiangjian said angrily, "It wasn't me who came here."

Hongli was drunk and his lustful thoughts were exposed. Hongli stepped forward and tried to grab Han Xiangjian, but Han Xiangjian dodged.

Hongli still didn't give up. He kept saying sweet words to Han Xiangjian and tried to get closer to her.

Seeing no other option, Han Xiang took out a knife and cut her face.

Hongli was sobered up by Han Xiangjian's action and did not dare to force her too much.

Chengqian Palace Courtyard

Hongli returned in defeat and sat outside the courtyard angrily listening to Jinzhong's explanation.

Jinzhong: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I did collect all the sharp weapons inside and outside Chengqian Palace. I really don't know how Master Han found the murder weapon."

Moore explained, "Your Majesty, I have found out that the sharp weapon Lord Han used just now was the pointer of this clock."

Hongli looked up at the Western clock on the table and sighed, "Forget it, get up."

Jinzhong hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Xia Zhang hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I have already treated Master Han's wound. Fortunately, the wound is shallow and will not be difficult to heal.

But right now, Master Han is very emotional, and she is neither willing to take the medicine properly nor use it. I can only leave the ointment with the maid and apply it when Master Han calms down."

Hongli remained silent and whispered, "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight. If anyone asks, just say that Xiangjian accidentally scratched her face."

Everyone: "Yes."

Hongli stood up and left.

Cheng Qiangong

Xi Bo coaxed Han Xiangjian to apply medicine.

Han Xiangjian turned her head away without saying a word.

Guli and Hali came forward to persuade Han Xiangjian to have dinner.

Han Xiangjian just said: "Get out."

The three of them looked at each other and could only retreat.

Han Xiangjian lay on the bed and muttered, "Han Qi, I will see you soon."

Gyeongin Palace

Wang Qin came in with a guilty conscience and reported that Han Xiangjian had scratched his face.

Ruyi stood up and angrily scolded, "How foolish! Such a serious matter, and you are only telling me now."

Wang Qin complained in his heart, if the emperor hadn't asked you for something, I wouldn't have come to tell you.

Wang Qin said flatteringly, "The emperor wanted to keep it a secret, but Master Han is refusing to eat or drink and is refusing medical treatment, so the emperor sent me to find the queen."

Ruyi: "Does the Queen Mother know?"

Wang Qin lowered his head and said, "The Empress Dowager doesn't know yet. Your Majesty, please go to the Yangxin Palace first."

Ruyi put down her pen and went to the Yangxin Palace angrily.

Yangxindian

Ruyi hurried in and sat directly on the couch beside her.

Hongli, holding the wine jug in a dejected manner, saw Ruyi come in and asked, "Did Wang Qin tell you everything?"

Ruyi glanced at Hongli unhappily.

Hongli said helplessly: "Ruyi, I really have no choice. I was drunk that day and scared Xiangjian. I just wanted her to change into palace clothes.

I didn't expect her to be so stubborn. She refused to eat or take medicine, and even went on a hunger strike with me. I was really at my wit's end, so I asked you to come and help me."

Ruyi sat aside, listening indifferently to Hongli expressing his feelings for Han Xiangjian.

Seeing Ruyi's indifferent expression, Hongli said guiltily, "Ruyi, are you disappointed in me?"

Ruyi said calmly, "In my eyes, the Emperor has always been a man of high spirits and high spirits, but he has never been like this."

Hongli sighed and said, "I have also thought about this. As an emperor, above all others, I should not be easily tempted. If my heart is tempted, chaos will arise, so I have always been very restrained.

But this time, I lost my rationality. When I saw Xiangjian, I knew what it meant to fall in love at first sight."

Ruyi blinked several times in disbelief and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

Hongli's desire to survive took effect, and he changed his words: "Ruyi, you and I have been in love since our youth, and we have a deep affection for each other. But my love for Xiangjian started in middle age, and it is difficult to suppress my feelings.

I have never had anyone I couldn't have, Xiangjian is the only one, and I don't want to leave any regrets. That's why I asked you to help me."

Ruyi blinked sadly a few times, lowered her head to hold back her tears, and said in a hoarse voice: "The emperor's selfish thoughts have caused Han to wish for death. Will the emperor still be so persistent?"

Hongli said earnestly, "Ruyi, I have never been willful in my life. Just treat it as me being willful for once, okay?

I have prepared a gift. Given time, I believe Xiangjian will change her mind. You just need to help me persuade her to survive."

Ruyi suppressed her sorrow and heartache and refused, "How can I influence Han's thoughts?"

Seeing that soft tactics were not working, Hongli stood up and said firmly, "Ruyi, you are my Imperial Noble Consort, whom I conferred upon you despite all the opposition. I never asked you to take on the responsibility of an Imperial Noble Consort. But now I want you to take on the responsibility of an Imperial Noble Consort and find a solution for me."

Ruyi stood up and said in a hoarse voice, "Your Majesty has entrusted me with this, and as the Imperial Noble Consort, I dare not disobey you. However, I can only do what the Imperial Noble Consort needs to do. I will take my leave."
