On the second day of August in the fifteenth year of Qianlong's reign, the emperor formally canonized Ulanara Ruyi as the empress and promoted Ruyi's Ulanara clan from the Bordered Blue Banner to the Plain Yellow Banner.

The emperor ordered Grand Secretary Fucha Fuheng as the chief envoy and Grand Secretary Shi Yizheng as the deputy envoy to enthrone Ruyi as the empress.

Ruyi, wearing the court dress of the Empress of the Qing Dynasty, walked step by step from the Yikun Palace to the side of the Emperor, who was above all others, under the watchful eyes of many officials, ladies of the court, and concubines, to accept everyone's kneeling congratulations.

Ruyi finally became the empress, the emperor's wife, and the mistress of the palace. Ruyi was very proud.

After the ceremony, Yan Wan, wearing the court dress of a concubine, stood in Yongshou Palace and looked into the distance.

Chunchan said: "The queen got what she wanted and became the queen, but she has always been targeting the master, and Rong Pei beside him is even more of a shrew who bullies others by taking advantage of her power."

"Having Jiapin alone is already a headache, and with the addition of a queen, I'm afraid our future will be even more difficult!"

Yan Wan looked at the sun gradually setting and said, "No matter how hard life is, it is still a hundred times better than when I was in Qixiang Palace! Even the sun sets, let alone people?"

"The Queen is now at the top of her game and is full of pride, but she should also understand that everything will decline after reaching its peak. I am a bondservant of the Imperial Household Department, so I don't expect to become the Queen. It will be a great achievement if I can become the Imperial Consort in the future."

Chunchan said: "With my intelligence and the emperor's love for me, I will definitely get what I want!"

Yan Wan remembered something and asked, "Princess Hejing also returned to Beijing from the Khorchin tribe to attend the ceremony of the empress's coronation. Did she visit Changchun Palace after returning?"

Lan Cui said, "I have been there. I heard that the emperor summoned the princess to Changchun Palace. After the emperor left, Princess Hejing stayed in Changchun Palace for a long time. The people who served you said that Princess Hejing didn't look very happy."

"How can it be beautiful? It was the Queen Mother who helped the Queen Mother force Princess Hejing to marry far away in Mongolia. But Queen Xiaoxian fell into the water and died before the wedding. Princess Hejing must have hated the Queen so much!" Chunchan said.

"Has the news that I asked to be spread leaked out?" Yan Wan asked.

Chunchan replied, "In the whole palace, besides the emperor, only the master still remembers Empress Xiaoxian. Princess Hejing has naturally heard that the master often goes to Changchun Palace to worship, but Princess Hejing will leave for the Khorchin tribe soon. What can she do to help us?"

Yan Wan thought that the legitimate daughter of the emperor and Empress Xiaoxian in the original book was the big boss of the whole book!

The original owner escaped death several times and turned defeat into victory with the help of Princess Hejing. If the author had not wanted to help Ruyi turn the tables, how could he have made Princess Hejing suddenly realize that Ruyi did not want to be the queen and helped Ruyi defeat the original owner?

Yan Wan explained: "Princess Hejing is the blood of the emperor and Empress Xiaoxian, and the emperor has always favored her. Not only does she have the support of the Fucha clan, but she also has the help of the Khorchin tribe."

"My princess, seeing how respectful and reverent I am to Empress Xiaoxian, and knowing the strange circumstances surrounding her death, do you think that my princess will stand by my side?"

"My master is wise!" Chunchan Lancui said with sudden enlightenment.

Ruyi is currently enjoying a prosperous and glorious life, which makes people envious. However, after this period of sweet days with the emperor is over, it will be the beginning of the decline of her as the queen and the entire Ulanara clan!

And Yan Wan will have to rely on the weight of Empress Xiaoxian in the emperor's heart and the forces behind Princess Hejing to have a big battle with Ruyi and the people around her!

Ling Yunche was in a bad mood and drank with his colleague Zhao Jiuxiao in the cold palace.

Zhao Jiuxiao said, "During the time when Concubine Ling was helping to organize the ceremony of the Empress's coronation, I met a senior palace maid named Lan Cui several times. I think Lan Cui is pretty good. You and Concubine Ling are acquainted. Why don't you ask if Lan Cui can be betrothed to me?"

Ling Yunche objected, "Empress Ling is not a good person, and the maids around her are not much better. Don't set your sights on the people in Yongshou Palace."

Zhao Jiuxiao had also heard some of the past between Ling Yunche and Concubine Ling, and as a bystander he could see things more clearly, so he retorted.

"You can't say that. It's not like Concubine Ling wanted to be the emperor's concubine from the beginning. It's just that she was tortured by Concubine Jia and had no other choice."

"I think Empress Lingfei did not forget her roots after becoming a concubine. She immediately transferred Lancui and Chunchan to Yongshou Palace. Otherwise, I'm afraid that when Lancui and Chunchan leave the palace at the age of 25, they will still be just maids!"

"What's more, Concubine Ling has a good reputation in the palace. No one has ever said that she is harsh on her servants. Otherwise, why did the Emperor promote her so quickly and let her assist the Empress in handling some mundane affairs?"

Speaking of the Empress, Ling Yunche instantly became excited and said, "The Empress is the master of the six palaces. Why does she need the assistance of Concubine Ling, who was born as a palace maid? Even if she needs assistance, there is Concubine Yu. How can it not be her turn!"

"You only see that she treats the servants well, but why don't you see that she is always against the Queen and makes her unhappy?!"

Zhao Jiuxiao really didn't see why Concubine Ling was at odds with the Empress. But he liked Lan Cui and didn't want to hear Ling Yunche say bad things about Lan Cui because of his prejudice against Concubine Ling, so he dropped the subject.

Zhao Jiuxiao took a bite of food, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this. I already have someone I like. What about you? You are not young anymore, it's time to think about starting a family."

Speaking of this, Ling Yunche was silent for a long time, raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and said.

"I don't know when it started, but there is also someone living in my heart, but I know there is no possibility for her and I. So I just want to protect her silently, and I will be satisfied when I see her ascend to a high position and live a happy life."

Zhao Jiuxiao heard this and asked curiously, "So you already have someone in your heart? Quick, tell me who it is? It's Ling, impossible, then who is it?"

Ling Yunche thought of the noble woman, feeling both happy and distressed, and said, "I can't tell you this, but no matter how high her status is, I'm afraid she will suffer and be sad in the future. Well, I will do my best to protect her!"

Zhao Jiuxiao asked: "What kind of woman is she?"

"She is as strong and noble as the plum blossom. She can soothe my inner pain and give me guidance. Since I met her eight years ago, I feel that my muddled life has hope and direction!"

In the end, Zhao Jiuxiao still failed to find out who the woman was from Ling Yunche. He secretly clicked his tongue and said, it turned out that Ling Yunche had fallen in love with someone else a long time ago. No wonder when Yan Wan was suffering in Qixiang Palace, he just told her to be patient.

It seems that it was right for Yan Wan to save herself and leave Qixiang Palace, otherwise, I am afraid that only Yan Wan’s body would be found in Qixiang Palace now!

Zhao Jiuxiao thought so and felt that Ling Yunche was not the same kind of person as him, so it would be better for him to have less contact with Ling Yunche in the future.
