Rebirth: Qingying comes back to reorganize the harem

"Sister-in-law, you are here. Please take a seat! When Hengchu was well again, I wanted to visit you, sister-in-law, but I was worried and couldn't make the trip. I hope you won't blame me."

Ruyi looked at Hengchu who stood up and came to support her, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, like a blooming lotus, and smiled faintly. In fact, even if Hengchu didn't say it, she understood her concerns. She just felt that if she met the emperor in Changchun Palace, she would feel as disgusted as if she had eaten a fly.

Zhen Huan had already heard about what happened at the banquet yesterday. She knew in her heart that Ruyi's visit was probably not just for the sake of convenience, but also because Ruyi had made an effort to ensure that her daughter could stay by her side without any restraint.

So this is also the reason why Zhen Huan never said anything to embarrass Ruyi from beginning to end.

"No problem. I originally wanted to visit the eldest princess Jingshuang of Yonghe Palace today, but when I woke up this morning, I thought that my sister Hengzhuo must be well again, so I brought some red ginseng that can help women replenish their qi and blood."

Zhen Huan stared at Ruyi and said in a more serious tone:

"The Queen is thoughtful. The eldest princess's incident caused a lot of noise last night, and it disturbed my Xining Palace. I heard that she had a rash on her body, but she is feeling better now."

"To reply to Mother, I am feeling better now. Sister Zhuying came to see me today, saying that she hopes to have Doctor Jiang, who has been checking my pulse, sent to Yonghe Palace to take care of Jingshuang's rash. I thought that Doctor Jiang is someone close to the Emperor, so I asked Sister Zhuying to ask the Emperor for instructions."

Before Ruyi finished speaking, Hengchu, who had been sitting next to her, said unhappily

"That Fucha is really smart. Now she has even taken a fancy to the imperial physician who specializes in checking the Queen's pulse. Sister-in-law, although I didn't go to the banquet, I did hear some of the things that happened. I'm afraid that mother and daughter are not the kind of people who keep to themselves."

"Hengchu!"

Zhen Huan raised her voice a bit as she called her daughter, and signaled to Hengchu with her eyes that she should be careful with her words.

Ruyi knew in her heart that because of her aunt, the Empress Dowager still did not fully trust her, but it didn't matter. After all, as long as she was willing to help, it would be enough.

Ruyi gently reached out and held Hengzhuo's hands, a trace of guilt flashed across her face, and she said,

"Sister Hengchu is thinking about my sister-in-law, and I am grateful. Mother and sister Hengchu must know some things. Khorchin intends to form an alliance with the Qing Dynasty. They want one princess to marry to Khorchin, and one princess to marry the prince consort Barel who stays in the capital. Although I am the empress of the Qing Dynasty, I am also Jingsi's mother, so I naturally have selfish motives. It is understandable that Fucha and her daughter are dissatisfied!"

Zhen Huan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced at Ruyi who was sitting below. The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer. Then, she cleared her throat and said mercilessly:,,,

"The Queen is a mother after all, and she can't escape human nature. In some cases, if it can save their children, I believe everyone will make the same choice as the Queen."

Zhen Huan remembered the favor that Ruyi had done for Hengchu. Moreover, Korchin and Qing were now planning to make peace with the marriage. If the eldest princess was unwilling, and someone targeted her youngest daughter, she would absolutely not want that.

The Queen's interests did not conflict with his own, so he was willing to give her face; as for the daughter of a noble, he naturally did not care about her.

Hengchu seemed to have thought of this as well, and she pursed her lips involuntarily. She had really experienced the matter of marriage for a foreign prince, and she deeply understood the hardships and pain involved.

Ruyi sighed silently, and this sigh seemed to carry her endless sorrow and helplessness. She frowned slightly, and her eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and confusion, but she still forced herself to continue speaking in an almost weak voice:

"But if Jingshuang really doesn't want to, then we can choose a noble lady from among the princes and nobles who is willing to marry. There is a precedent for this matter in the previous dynasty, but Korchin specifically wants a legitimate princess of the Qing Dynasty. Although he didn't say a legitimate princess, I am worried that the only princesses of the right age in the palace now are my daughters Jingsi, Jingshuang, and Princess Hengti under your name. After all, people are reluctant to give up their own children."

Speaking of her daughter Hengti, Zhen Huan, who had been calm, was like an ant on a hot pot, and could no longer sit still! Her face turned extremely pale, and even fine beads of sweat began to seep out of her forehead. The Buddhist beads that were originally coiled in her hand seemed to have lost control and were subconsciously torn apart by Zhen Huan. The Buddhist beads broke free from the shackles of the silk thread, and fell to the ground one by one, making a crisp and loud sound. This movement was particularly abrupt and eye-catching in the silent palace. However, Zhen Huan seemed to have noticed none of this. She stared straight into the distance, her eyes full of anxiety and worry.

Seeing the scene in front of her, Ruyi knew that the words she had just said had deeply touched Zhen Huan's already uneasy mood. After all, Zhen Huan had already sent one daughter to marry, and as a mother, no matter what, she would never send another daughter to suffer the same fate.

Zhen Huan's eyes revealed an unspeakable pain and contradiction. She knew the cruelty and helplessness of court politics, but her instinct as a mother prevented her from making such a decision easily. Ruyi quietly observed Zhen Huan's expression, and she could feel the struggle and entanglement in Zhen Huan's heart.

The reason why Zhen Huan was touched by Ruyi's words was that there were only two princesses of marriageable age under the emperor's name, and both of them were doted on by the emperor. If the emperor really couldn't bear to let them go in the future, after all, he was a close friend, so it was possible that he would set his sights on the daughter of the Empress Dowager West Palace.

Ruyi's biggest purpose in coming to Xining Palace today is to force Zhen Huan to form a united front with her.

What's more, because of Princess Duanshu's matter, the Empress Dowager of the West Palace still owed her a favor, so when she came today, Ruyi knew in her heart that in the end the Empress Dowager of the West Palace would eventually unite with her.
