Ruyi explained sincerely, "The court officials did not want Princess Hengti to marry into the Khorchin tribe because the Khorchin tribe is noble and wealthy, and they were afraid that the two powerful Mongolian tribes would become your son-in-law."

"The Queen Mother only needs to do the opposite and try her best to make this happen. Then the Emperor, the Queen, and Fucha will be unable to hold back and will ask Princess Jingse to marry far away in Khorchin, so that they can have this good thing in their own hands."

The Empress Dowager let out a breath, thinking that what Ruyi said made sense. Seeing how filial she was, she didn't even care that the ground was wet with tea when she was angry, and she just knelt there. Her clothes must be soaked now.

"You are willing to share my worries. Don't kneel there. Your clothes are all wet." The empress dowager frowned slightly, revealing a bit of heartache and consideration.

Ruyi felt relieved to see that the empress dowager was also very concerned about her. It was worth it that she came to report the news as soon as she heard it. She finally won the empress dowager's favor.

Although she didn't care, this was a response to good deeds being rewarded.

"The Empress Dowager is in a bad mood. Naturally, I want to comfort her and share her worries. This is also what the Emperor wants." Ruyi sat down slowly, and her knees were already wet with two marks.

She raised two fingers covered with armor, gently pulled at the clothes that were clinging to her body, and simply tidied her clothes.

The Queen Mother snorted in her heart, the Emperor wants this? What a joke, if the Emperor intended to let Jingse get married, it would not be the turn of the court officials to stand up and oppose Hengti's marriage.

She knew best what the emperor was thinking. He was just stalling and waiting for her to accept her fate. Anyway, the emperor would not come to see her and the queen also avoided her. She had been in the palace for decades and could not even protect her only remaining daughter.

But things are different now. Concubine Xian has brought her good news. Now, the emperor has to marry even if he doesn't want to!

"However, someone is still needed to persuade the emperor so that this matter can happen naturally." The Queen Mother leaned against the table and looked at Ruyi with gentle brows.

Ruyi's eyes appeared from under her eyelashes, without any ripples in the light and shadow, like a dark cold pond, which made people feel inexplicably cold when looking at it deeply.

There was no smile on her face, as if she had taken off her mask, but her voice was still calm and gentle, "Princess Jingse enjoys the offerings from the world, and it is time for her to contribute to the world."

"Besides, the princess has an impetuous personality. Going to the Khorchin tribe to experience the grassland scenery will surely broaden her horizons and soften her mood." Ruyi smiled faintly, her face full of sincere expectation.

The Queen Mother raised her chin with approval, "Jingse has always claimed to be the legitimate princess. It's time for her to take responsibility."

Looking at Ruyi's somewhat ugly clothes, the Queen Mother closed her eyes slightly and said, "Ruyi, you are a filial person. You are still talking to me even though your clothes are wet. Go and change your clothes."

Ruyi gathered the fringe of her hair, stood up and saluted, "Yes, I will take my leave first."

Yan Wan was already aware of the recent turmoil in the court, and she knew that the outcome of the matter was Jingse's marriage, and there was no room for change.

Therefore, she did not plan to say anything to the emperor. She was currently just a minor noble. If she said too little, it would be of no use. If she said too much, it would be considered as criticizing the government.

If she said she wanted to marry Hengti, the Empress Dowager would definitely punish her when she found out. If she said she wanted to marry Jingse, the Emperor would also remember it in his heart, and the Empress would be even more resentful when she found out. All her previous attempts to please the Seventh Prince would have been in vain.

Fortunately, there is Ruyi, a young and ignorant person, to do these evil things. If it were someone else, they would not want to get involved in such a dilemma. Didn’t you see that Concubine Chun, Concubine Jia, and Concubine Qing all disappeared without a trace?

She was the only one who, knowing that her suggestions were inconsistent with the emperor's wishes, still tried to persuade him.

And the most amazing thing is that it worked, and the emperor was not angry because she stood on the side of the empress dowager. Instead, he believed her even more.

Is this the magic of childhood sweethearts? It's a pity that Yan Wan is not the emperor's childhood sweetheart, otherwise she wouldn't have to worry about it, she just needs to whisper in the emperor's ear every day.

During this period, the Emperor was upset and would only stay by the side of Concubine Xian, so Yan Wan took the opportunity to show up at the Queen's place more often, pay her respects, and comfort the worried Lang Ya.

Ruyi advised the emperor to marry the person he trusted and was closest to to Khorchin so that he could firmly grasp the loyalty of the Khorchin tribe.

Hongli was already somewhat tempted, but still reluctant to let his daughter marry far away. After receiving such positive feedback, Ruyi asked惢心 to take the dowry that the Empress Dowager gave to Princess Jingse and go to pay respects to the Empress.

Yanwan took the trouble to collect many jokes, but Langya didn't laugh much after listening to them and looked sad.

She was so tired that she would go back and look through the storybook every night, collect many interesting things and write them down on paper, then memorize them and tell them to Langya.

On this day, she had not memorized it yet. Fortunately, Langya hardly looked up at her. She just listened to her two sentences and responded casually.

Yanwan took out a small piece of paper with interesting stories written on it from her sleeve and read from it.

But somehow, Meipin came in without being announced, and seeing Yanwan concentrating, she leaned over to watch. Yanwan hadn't finished reading yet, but Meipin had already finished.

Langya didn't find it interesting, but she understood Yanwan's good intentions, so she listened to her reciting every day. It also made her feel a little better when there was someone talking next to her.

Langya didn't find it funny, but Meipin was a person who laughed easily. She started laughing as soon as she finished reading it.

The chuckle coming from behind scared Yan Wan. She thought it was a joke and that it had attracted a ghost.

Is what she said really so funny? But why didn't the queen laugh, but the little ghost laughed so happily.

With a fright, Yanwan lost her grip on the note and it slipped out of her hand and landed at Langya's feet.

Langya had a worried look on her face. When she looked up, she saw Yanwan holding something and looking at it carefully. Meipin behind her really scared her.

Yan Wan turned around in horror. When she saw that it was Meipin, she collapsed on the chair with her hands covering her chest and her eyes closed, muttering: "I'm so scared, so scared, I thought it was something unclean."

Meipin pretended to twist her arm, "Well, Concubine Ling actually said that I am an unclean thing."

"Who told you to stand behind me without making any noise? I was telling the Queen a joke." Yan Wan slapped Bai Ruiji's hand away, complaining with a bitter face, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Eh? Where's the paper?"

As Yanwan was searching, Langya said with a slight smile, "It's here in the palace." In her hands was spread the collection of jokes that Yanwan had copied.

Langya finally smiled. Seeing Yanwan so amused, she specially copied down many interesting stories to tell her in order to comfort her. She was very moved.
