The Apo Master dressed up as Concubine Ling and killed the Ruyi sisters

At the banquet in reception of the Mongolian prince, the emperor directly arranged the marriage between the seventh princess and the young prince.

One of the purposes of the Mongolian prince's visit to Beijing was to marry a princess. When he learned that the seventh princess Jingyu was the eldest daughter of Concubine Ling, he naturally thanked her happily.

The Emperor did not discuss this matter with the Empress Dowager Ruyi. After the Empress Dowager took her ill-fated daughter back, she changed her temper and no longer interfered in such matters. Naturally, she had no objection to this.

But Ruyi and Yingfei were very dissatisfied with this. After the banquet, Ruyi went directly to the Yangxin Palace.

"I, my concubine, meet the Emperor!"

The emperor drank too much at the banquet and now has a headache, so he wants to rest early.

"It's Ruyi, what's the matter? I'm a little tired, it's nothing important, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Li Yu was about to escort Ruyi out of the Yangxin Palace, but she saw Ruyi step forward and sit opposite the emperor, questioning, "Your Majesty wants to arrange a marriage for the princess, why didn't you discuss it with me in advance? As the queen, I am the legitimate mother of the princes and princesses, don't I have the right to know?"

The emperor explained: "I was busy with many things in my previous reign, and you were busy organizing the banquet, so I forgot to inform you."

Such an answer did not satisfy Ruyi. "I see that Concubine Ling does not seem surprised. If the emperor can inform Concubine Ling, why can't he tell me?"

The emperor just wanted to rest early at the moment. Ruyi's disturbance gave him a headache. He said unhappily: "I am arranging a marriage for Jingyu, so of course I have to inform your Royal Concubine. If the Queen has nothing else to do, please withdraw first!"

Ruyi was not angry that the emperor wanted to arrange a marriage for the seventh princess. What made Ruyi angry was why he wanted to arrange such a good marriage for the seventh princess!

Ruyi then asked, "Mongolian Prince Chenggun Zhabu is the child of Princess Gulun Chunxun and Prince Chaoyong Celing. With such a distinguished background, why did the emperor bypass the sixth princess and grant him the title of consort to the seventh princess?"

The emperor patiently replied, "Jingyu is the daughter of the imperial concubine, and she is about the same age as the young prince. What is wrong with me granting the marriage?"

Ruyi was very dissatisfied. "The young prince was born into the Borjigit clan, and his grandfather was the son-in-law of Princess Gulun. With his status, he will be able to marry Princess Gulun in the future. Is the emperor so respectful to Concubine Ling?!"

After hearing this, the emperor felt that Ruyi was being unreasonable. "Borjigit Lawangdorji is indeed qualified to marry a Gulun princess, but Jingse has already married, and Jingsi died young. I don't have a Gulun princess, so should I marry Chenggun Zhabu?"

Indeed, if Jingsi was still alive, this good marriage would be Jingsi's. But who caused her to lose Jingsi? How could the emperor give all the grace to Concubine Ling and her daughter? Is this fair to them?

Ruyi asked, "The Sixth Princess is obviously more suitable for Lawangdorji at this age, so why didn't the Emperor allow the Sixth Princess to marry? Did the Emperor not let me and Yingfei know about this in advance because he was afraid that I and Yingfei would object?"

The emperor was annoyed. "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. Queen, you are overstepping your authority. Why don't you step down immediately?"

Ruyi felt that the emperor was guilty, "Why doesn't the emperor dare to respond to me directly?"

The emperor was immediately furious and said, "Queen, you are too presumptuous! Since you want to know, I will tell you. The prince and princess are honored because of their sons. In the palace, besides Jingse and Jingsi, of course, Jingyu, the daughter of Concubine Ling, is the most noble!"

"I value Mongolia, so I naturally cannot neglect them. Can't you see how happy Chenggunjabu is that Lawangdorji can marry Jingyu? This is what I want to achieve!"

Ruyi was still unconvinced, "Ying Fei was born in Mongolia. If the emperor grants marriage to Jing Fei, wouldn't it be a closer relationship? Why doesn't the emperor consider Jing Fei?"

Speaking of Concubine Ying and Jingju, the emperor sneered repeatedly, "Concubine Ling's Jingyu is the best in terms of both status and character. Look at Concubine Ying and Jingju. Concubine Ying often talks about a small Balin tribe, looking down on this and that. What has Jingju's little child become because of her?"

"If I choose Jingju, I will not only be disrespectful to Chenggun Zhabu, but also Jingju's unruly and willful behavior full of foul language will be a loss of face for me and the Qing Dynasty!"

Ruyi didn't think there was anything wrong with Jingju, she was just a little outspoken. But why should an elder care about a ten-year-old child?

Ruyi's intuition was that Concubine Ling deliberately slandered Concubine Ying and Concubine Jing in front of the emperor, and thus deceived the emperor into giving this good marriage to her seventh princess.

"If the emperor wants to promote Chenggunzabu, he can promote Yingfei to the rank of noble concubine, or confer the title of Jingju on her..."

The emperor interrupted Ruyi and said, "If necessary, I will naturally give Jingyu more respect, so the queen won't have to worry about it. Li Yu, escort the queen out of the Yangxin Palace!"

Li Yu stood aside and made a gesture of invitation, "The emperor wants to rest, can the queen go back to Yikun Palace first?"

Ruyi was shocked by the emperor's words. What does greater dignity mean?

When princesses born to concubines reach adulthood and get married, the emperor will decree that they will be named Heshuo Princesses. Could it be that the emperor also wants to name the seventh princess of Concubine Ling as Gulun Princess?

Her Jingsi was a legitimate princess, and after her death, the emperor did not confer Jingsi the title of Princess of the First Rank. Concubine Ling was just a lowly palace maid, so why could Concubine Ling's seventh princess overshadow her own Jingsi? This was too unfair!

Ruyi didn't want to give up, but Li Yu was really afraid that Ruyi would anger the emperor and make him furious, so he quickly winked at Jinzhong and Jinbao.

Jinzhong was extremely happy when he heard that the emperor had found a good husband for Lingzhu's seventh princess, and that he might even grant her the title of Princess Gulun in the future.

Following Li Yu's instructions, he and Jinbao hurriedly escorted the sad and angry Ruyi out of the Yangxin Palace.

Ling Yunche, who was serving outside the gate of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, saw Ruyi's ugly face and hurriedly snatched the job of sending Ruyi back to the Yikun Palace from Li Yu.

Ling Yunche comforted her, "Your Majesty, calm down and take care of yourself!"

Ruyi felt extremely aggrieved. Looking at Ling Yunche's caring eyes, she couldn't help but her eyes turned red and she shed a few tears.

"The Emperor wants to grant marriage to the Seventh Princess and Lawangdorji, and also said that he will confer the title of Princess Gulun on the Seventh Princess. Has the Emperor forgotten that he, this palace, and Jingsi, the legitimate princess, are here? Why is the Emperor treating Jingsi so harshly?"

Ling Yunche heard some of what was happening outside the palace. He felt sorry for Ruyi who had suffered injustice, but he was just a small imperial guard and there was nothing he could do except comfort Ruyi.

After Ling Yunche sent the sad Ruyi back to Yiku Palace, he waited until he got off duty and returned home, then he hugged the wine jar and started drinking alone.

In his dream, Ling Yunche still couldn't forget Ruyi and started talking in his sleep again.

When Mao Qian saw Ling Yunche coming back with a strange expression on his face, she guessed that it might be related to the person in Ling Yunche's dream. She paid close attention and indeed heard him talking in his dream again. She recorded it all.
