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

Outside Baoyue Tower

The concubines all went to Baoyue Tower together.

Ah Ruo asked in confusion, "When was this building built?"

Huang Qiying shook her head and said, "Why would they build such a building for no reason?"

Yi Huan asked, "Didn't the Emperor ask us to come here and enjoy the beautiful scenery? I wonder where he will take us to enjoy it later."

Concubine Qing also looked puzzled and replied, "Yes, it's almost time now, why hasn't the emperor come yet?"

Ruyi, Yingpin and Kepin also came together and looked up at the Baoyue Tower that rose out of nowhere.

Su Lujun and Fucha Chuying were seriously ill and did not come. The eunuch called out her name, "The Imperial Noble Consort has arrived."

The concubines made way for Ruyi and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi nodded calmly and said, "Everyone, get up."

Wang Qin came forward and said, "My lords and the Imperial Concubine, please come in."

Ruyi nodded and led the concubines into Baoyue Tower.

The interior decoration of Baoyue Tower is magnificent and has a strong Han tribe style.

Chen Wanyin looked around for a moment and asked doubtfully, "This Baoyue Tower looks like it's decorated with patterns from the Han tribe. Could it be that this was given to the Han family by the Emperor?"

Bai Ruiji said in disgust, "Doesn't she already have Chengqian Palace? Why does she need this Baoyue Tower?"

Concubine Ke also said with disgust: "Does the emperor really treat her so well?"

Ruyi frowned and did not respond.

Yu Hu and Han Xiangjian slowly walked out. Han Xiangjian was wearing a white Han tribe dress.

Upon seeing Ruyi, Yu Hu and the palace maids knelt and saluted, saying, "This servant pays respects to all the masters and to Her Majesty the Imperial Consort."

Han Xiangjian was like a white lotus isolated from the world, standing aside with an indifferent expression, without any greeting.

Rong Pei was not willing to tolerate this and asked coldly, "Why doesn't this master pay his respects to the Imperial Noble Consort?"

Han Xiangjian said coldly: "I am different from you."

The concubines' faces are all black. What does that mean? What's the point of sticking a green onion in a pig's nose?

Rong Pei was not going to tolerate it. She walked forward and slapped Han Xiangjian hard. Before Yu Hu, who was standing beside her, could react, Han Xiangjian was already knocked to the ground.

Rong Pei said coldly, "You are full of nonsense and are committing treason. I will teach Master Han a lesson on behalf of the Emperor."

The concubines behind him were all shocked. Could it be that Rong Pei was attacking indiscriminately?

Ruyi didn't react and stopped him, saying, "Rong Pei, stop."

But Ruyi had no intention of punishing Rong Pei. Hanxiang was also very angry when she saw Rong Pei's words of taking advantage of her.

Han Xiangjian fell to his knees with his hands covering his face, and was about to retort: ​​"You're talking nonsense! He wouldn't..." do this to me.

Han Xiangjian was choked by what she wanted to say, and she covered her face with her hands and said angrily: "You..."

Yu Hu hurried forward to help Han Xiangjian up and asked, "Han Master, Han Master?"

Han Xiangjian pushed Yu Hu away and pointed at Rong Pei angrily, "You..."

Ruyi took the initiative and said, "Rong Pei! What are you doing? Are you crazy? Get out of here right now!"

The concubines also reacted and said in unison: "Yes, such a bold servant should be dragged away quickly."

"Please be patient, sister. Rong Pei is just following the rules."

"Yes, according to palace rules, this sister should greet us."

Rong Pei was dragged away, still confused. She had originally wanted to pick a fight with Han Xiangjian, so that Hongli would vent his anger on Ruyi and drag Ruyi to die together. Unexpectedly, the concubines pulled her out unharmed in just a few words.

Ruyi stepped forward and apologized, "Xiangjian, Rong Pei was impulsive in this matter. She is a conservative and straightforward person, so she acted like this. I will punish her severely when I return."

Seeing that she had been taken away, Han Xiang said angrily, "I didn't ask to come here, why should I follow your rules?"

The concubines didn't care whether Han Xiangjian wanted to come or not. They didn't force Han Xiangjian to come. Now that she was here, she had to put away her condescending attitude. Why was she pretending in front of them?

Lin Ruoyao rolled her eyes, ignoring Han Xiangjian's impotent rage. She turned to Yu Hu and asked, "Aunt Yu Hu, the emperor ordered us to go to Baoyue Tower to enjoy the autumn. Where is the emperor?"

Yu Hu said respectfully, "Your Majesty has important matters to attend to. This Baoyue Tower was built by His Majesty for Master Han, and today you are invited to enjoy the view. In addition to Baoyue Tower, His Majesty also built a Qifu Temple across from it."

Concubine Yu glanced at Han Xiangjian sideways and said dissatisfiedly, "The emperor is too partial to Han."

Yu Hu didn't respond, but changed the subject, saying, "My dear masters, please follow me."

The concubines looked at each other, and bad memories came to their mind. Could it be that Hongli was treating them as part of his flirting again?

Afterwards, all the concubines looked at Ruyi again, gloating. In the past, Ruyi was the heroine that Hongli flirted with, but now it was someone else, so let Ruyi have a taste of their own.

Ruyi's face was gloomy and her brows were furrowed, not knowing what would happen next.

Everyone followed Yu Hu to the fence on the second floor.

Yu Hu introduced: "Everyone, please look, that is the Qifu Temple."

Ruyi's face was gloomy. She looked up and looked into the distance. Wasn't the Qifu Temple built in the style of the Han tribe?

Han Xiangjian was standing there in a daze. When she heard Yu Hu's words, she looked around curiously, found something wrong, and walked forward to take a closer look.

Yu Hu saw Han Xiangjian coming and whispered, "Master Han, this prayer temple was built by the emperor according to the customs of your hometown. Do you like it?"

Ruyi glanced at Han Xiangjian.

Yu Hu continued, "The Han tribe is located in a remote area. The emperor has ordered the elderly, children, women and children of the Han tribe to move to the streets of the capital, opposite the Qifu Temple. The emperor also arranged for them to enter the palace today. Would you like to meet them?"

Han Xiangjian couldn't believe it and asked, "What?"

Yu Hu smiled and called out, "Jinzhong, quickly invite the Han tribe members."

Jinzhong quickly led his men inside.

The Han tribe members came to the bottom of Baoyue Tower, knelt down and kowtowed, shouting, "Princess! Princess! We missed you so much!"

"Princess! Princess! We've been wanting to see you so much!"

"Princess! Princess! We finally see you again!"

The tribesmen all had joy on their faces.

Seeing her face filled with despair, Han Xiang asked, "Why? Why did you come here?"

A little girl shouted, "Princess Xiangjian, the emperor treats us very well. He built a prayer temple for us, a beautiful house for us, settled our elderly mother-in-law, and even provided us with medical treatment."

Everyone echoed, "Yes, the Emperor treats us very well! Yes, Princess."

Han Xiangjian asked tearfully, "Is the Emperor like this to all his subjects? Or is he being pretentious just because of me?"

Yu Hu did not answer.

Hongli came out wearing the clothes of the Han tribe.

Everyone in the Han tribe saluted hurriedly.

Hongli smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."

All the concubines felt a chill, and even Concubine Yu felt a little sorry for Han Xiangjian. If Hongli invited all the people of Khorchin to act as lobbyists for him in order to force her... Oh, it's disgusting just to think about it!

Concubine Ke frowned and asked, "Why is the emperor wearing the clothes of the Han tribe?"

Ruyi lowered her head, not wanting to see Hongli's lustful look.

The concubines only looked at Ruyi's reaction and sneered. "You can't stand it?" They were disgusted to death back then.

Hongli was unaware of the concubines' moods and still called out from the bottom of Baoyue Tower, "Xiangjian, I'm here. I'm here."

The Han tribe members were still making a noise, "The emperor values ​​the Han tribe so much that he even changed into their clothes!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Hongli had already walked upstairs and shouted, "Xiangjian!"

All the concubines knelt down to salute, but Hongli didn't even glance at them and walked straight to Han Xiangjian.

Han Xiangjian stood by the fence, not knowing what she was thinking.

Hongli waved his hand and asked Han Xiangjian with a smile, "Everyone, get up, Xiangjian, are you happy to see your clansmen?"

Han Xiangjian asked coldly, "Why are you dressed like a man from my Han tribe?"

Hongli smiled and said, "Since you are unwilling to become my woman first and unwilling to change your attire, then I will transform myself into a Han tribe man for you."

Behind Hongli, Ruyi blinked in disbelief, her face full of shock.

The concubines didn't care about Hongli at all, they just looked at Ruyi's face which looked like a color palette.

Hongli shouted to the Han tribe, "I will confer upon your Princess Xiangjian the title of Rong Guiren, and have her reside in Baoyue Tower."

The Han tribe members exclaimed in joy, "Long live the emperor! Congratulations, Concubine Rong! Great joy!"

Seeing her tribesmen acting like this, Han Xiang looked bitter and closed her eyes.

Hongli turned to the concubines and said, "I called you here to tell you that everyone in this palace must tolerate Concubine Rong and live in harmony with her."

The concubines were silent, and no one wanted to pay attention to the crazy Hongli.

Ruyi said calmly, "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong has already met with her clansmen. Why not let them go back first?"

Hongli nodded and said, "Okay."

Then Hongli shouted, "Jinzhong, reward the Han people well and send them out."

Jinzhong: “Yeah.”

A man from the Han tribe shouted, "Princess Xiangjian, now that we see that the emperor treats you and our Han tribe so well, we feel relieved."

Everyone echoed: "Reassured, relieved."

Hongli smiled and said, "Okay, okay, Xiangjian. You see, among the people I brought here, there is not a single able-bodied man. That's because the young and strong should stay in the Han tribe to revitalize their homeland.

These elderly, weak, women, and children cannot withstand the hardships of the borderlands and require special care. I will bring them to the capital and take good care of them so they can live a peaceful life."

Han Xiangjian smiled bitterly and said, "You may really love me, but you are also threatening me. I can no longer dream of leaving here, not even until I die. Right?"

The concubines behind him were all moved when they heard it.

Yingpin stepped forward and said coldly, "Your Majesty, I have already appreciated the beauty of Baoyue Tower. I will take my leave now."

Yingpin turned and left, and the concubines left one after another upon seeing this.

Only Ruyi washed her underwear with a cold face and asked, "Your Majesty, may I help you change your clothes?"

Hongli nodded and said, "Alright. Xiangjian, you're tired too. Go downstairs and wait for me. Have a good rest."

Han Xiangjian stood blankly at the fence, while Hongli followed Ruyi away.

Baoyue Building, 1st Floor

Hongli and Ruyi went downstairs.

Hongli said happily, "Xiangjian survived and finally agreed to stay. Ruyi, I want to thank you."

Ruyi said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty has achieved what he wished for. I congratulate His Majesty. Please change your clothes."

Hongli said indifferently, "I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing Hanbu robes. Please have a seat, Imperial Noble Consort."

Ruyi sat down and advised, "Your Majesty, the Manchus and Mongols have been married for so many years, and their relationship is very close. Yet, no emperor has ever worn Mongolian robes. Your Majesty's move will chill the hearts of the Mongolian tribes."

Hongli frowned and said, "With Jingqin here in Mongolia, how could there be any objection? Ruyi, you should first consider whether I am happy and satisfied. You should be happy for me."

Ruyi said calmly, "Your Majesty and I are one, and we should share our sorrows and joys. However, I was honest that day and agreed to your request because of my status as Imperial Noble Consort.

As a wife, I do not agree with what my husband has done. I do not know how to be happy for you. I feel sorry for Rong Guiren."

Hongli snorted coldly, "Feeling sorry for Concubine Rong? I have already given Concubine Rong a formal status. I will naturally love her well and treat her family members well.

As long as the Imperial Concubine can set a good example for the six palaces and treat Rong Guiren well, Rong Guiren will understand my intentions forever."

Ruyi said with heartache, "Death is the only hardship in the world, and Madam Xi is not the only one who is heartbroken. I hope the Emperor can truly understand Concubine Rong's feelings."

Hongli sighed and said, "Ruyi, I understand what you said. At the beginning, I really just wanted to use Xiangjian to enter the palace to dampen the spirit of the Han tribe and make the border tribes submit. I only thought that after she entered the palace, I would treat her coldly.

But the first time I saw her, I knew I had no choice. Ruyi, I really like her. I know I can't get her heart, but it's good to have her as a person.

I really want to make her happy and I really hope she will be willing to stay with me. Ruyi, do you understand me?"

Nothing could be more heartbreaking than this. Ruyi suppressed her bitterness and retorted, "Your Majesty's wishful thinking is like Cao Zhi's love for the Goddess of Luo River. Your Majesty has only painted a picture of the Goddess of Luo River for yourself. Even if you were to wear Cao Zhi's clothes, the Goddess of Luo River would not fall in love with you."

Hongli's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you mocking me? Ruyi, I thought you would understand after I told you this."

Ruyi said with a broken heart, "Your Majesty, I have been with you for many years and I thought we had a rapport. But ever since Xiang Jian entered the palace, Your Majesty has gone mad. I really cannot understand. Your Majesty, if you think what I said is wrong, just treat it as if it was all in vain. I will take my leave."

Hongli watched Ruyi leave and shouted, "Ruyi. Ruyi!"

Ruyi left without looking back.

Ruyi went out and ran into Lang Shining who was coming over.

Lang Shining still remembered this extraordinary woman, Ruyi, and bowed to her.

Ruyi asked in confusion, "Lord Lang, why are you here?"

Lang Shining: "The Emperor has ordered me to come here to paint the Emperor and Concubine Rong."

Just then, a loud thunderclap sounded in the sky, hitting Ruyi's heart, and heavy rain poured down.
