He Jing went to pick out her dowry very impolitely. It would be convenient for her to stay. Her royal mother was from the Fucha family and was the Empress Dowager. Her royal father was the most noble person in the world and no one dared to bully her.

Hengti was arranged by the Queen Mother to meet Tong Mingyuan. Her face flushed when she came back. She had been prepared to be married off for a long time, but now it was different.

Not only could he stay by the Empress Dowager's side, but he also got such a worry-free marriage. Tong Mingyuan was truly a gentleman. She was even more satisfied when she listened to Fujia telling her about how the Tong family's backyard was organized. It was clean and tidy, without those messy concubines.

The Empress Dowager didn't even have to ask. She went to the Emperor with a smile on her face to discuss whether He Jing could stay in Beijing after her marriage.

Although the emperor was a little hesitant, he was reluctant to part with He Jing. If this matter could be resolved, it might be good news that would kill three birds with one stone. The most important thing was that he also felt that Rong Yin's words "Let Korchin know the majesty of the Qing Dynasty" made a lot of sense.

Can they just ask for the legitimate princess? I gave her to you because I value the relationship between Manchuria and Mongolia, and I kept her in Beijing to let you know that even a prince of Khorchin cannot mistreat his daughter.

After consulting with a few trusted ministers, the matter was decided and an imperial decree was issued, leaving no room for maneuver.

As for Tong Mingyuan, whom the Queen Mother wanted, he agreed without hesitation. After all, he was just a good boy from an upright family. What would be wrong with giving him to the Queen Mother?

Hengchu was no longer as close to him as they were when they were children, and he didn't want to lose his sister Hengti and end up alone and lonely, so he did this favor.

Only at this time did the Queen Mother truly let go of the huge stone in her heart, and planned to stop interfering so obviously in the affairs of the previous dynasty. The most important thing was to cut off her connection with Ruyi.

Every time Ruyi came to see me, nothing good happened. I don’t know if it’s because we are not compatible or if she did it on purpose. It’s better to have less contact with her.

As for how Hengti and Jingse's relationship became better because of this incident, that is a story for later.

"惢心, the emperor still refuses to see me?"

Although Ruyi ate and slept on time as usual, she still felt a sense of crisis under the semi-confinement.

Specifically, she started to feel sad about the passing of time after dinner, and asked惢心 to invite the emperor over again and again.

At first,惢心 went over obediently. Li Yu seemed to be able to help report a few times, but when Li Yu was not around, the remaining eunuchs were not so easy to talk to. Some of them even pointed at惢心's nose and made sarcastic remarks.

Later,惢心 simply went to ask for permission three times out of ten, and secretly went out to rest the rest of the time. If Ruyi wanted to see the emperor, she could go and stop him herself. She couldn't bear to be scolded every time and then come back to accept her questioning.

This was the third time out of ten that Suo Xin went to the emperor to ask for help.

Ruyi was sitting alone in the Yikun Palace, and she was not idle either. She was feeling very depressed. She felt that the emperor had misunderstood her deep affection, so she went out to talk to Ling Yunche, who was also in the cold palace at the time.

When the two met, it was like they had met a soulmate!

Ruyi went to the emperor to complain because the emperor didn't understand her. Ling Yunche saw the Empress's younger brother Fucha Fuheng and Wei Yanwan standing together and talking when he was off duty. Fuheng also gave Wei Yanwan a jeweled hairpin.

Wei Yanwan did not refuse.

He began to think that Wei Yanwan had repeatedly refused to go to Concubine Xian's palace because she was greedy for wealth and fame. Later, she regretted it and felt that Wei Yanwan had her own difficulties. But now it really disappointed him.

How could his Yan Wan hook up with Fu Cha Fu Heng?

Look, the wine gourd on his waist is full again. Ling Yunche didn't care at all that he was still on duty, and his colleagues around him didn't remind him because he was not in a legitimate position.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty Xianpin."

At least Ling Yunche was not drunk, so he could still recognize who Ruyi was.

Ruyi noticed his wine gourd with sharp eyes, and when she got closer and smelled the alcohol on him, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "You tortured your body for that person again, how can you not take care of yourself?"

After Ling Yunche paid his respects, he did not treat Ruyi as an outsider. Since there was nothing to do at the moment, he simply sat down on the steps nearby and patted the person next to him, motioning Ruyi to sit down as well.

Ruyi didn't care that it was broad daylight and there was nothing wrong with the concubines and guards sitting together, nor did she care whether the steps were dirty or not, and sat down next to Ling Yunche.

"Tell me what's going on?"

This is the beginning of my becoming a talker.

Ling Yunche didn't bother to be polite with Ruyi. He took out the wine flask from his waist and drank it down in one gulp. "I saw Yanwan a few days ago."

"Why, now that she sees you working in Kunning Palace, she's thinking about marrying you again?"

Ruyi started to accuse Wei Yanwan without even thinking about it, saying that she was snobbish, greedy for wealth and fame, and indecisive.

Ling Yunche glanced at Ruyi and shook his head, "No. I saw Yanwan chatting and laughing with Empress Fucha's brother, and she even accepted a jeweled hairpin from him."

He sighed, "I bought her the ruby ​​ring with so much difficulty, but she returned it to me without even looking at it. It was my heart. Now, she has taken Fu Heng's jeweled hairpin and let him wear it for her..."

Ruyi was stunned when she heard this. "In order to make Wei Yanwan more loyal to her, the Queen was willing to give up her brother? Or did Wei Yanwan take the opportunity to get close to Fucha Fuheng when he entered the palace?"

However, Ruyi reacted quickly. The most important thing now was to let Ling Yunche see Wei Yanwan's character clearly.

She sighed, "Some people are just like this. They are born to seek benefits and avoid harm, and they completely trample on the affection of others. You have suffered so many times. When will you learn to be smarter?"

Ling Yunche also had a painful look on his face. "I always thought that her mother looked down on me, or that she was worried that I would be a burden because of her brother and mother's appearance, but I didn't expect..."

After saying this, he took another big sip of wine, really acting like a complete love saint.

Ruyi handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it. You should be more careful this time and think about yourself."

Ling Yunche took the handkerchief, wiped the wine from his lips, and then slowly looked at Ruyi, "Empress Xian, what's wrong with you? Haven't you been released from the cold palace? Now you are walking around the palace in a daze. Isn't it easy for the emperor's favorite concubine to have a good life?"
