Lifting the ban is just a matter of time.

Ruyi didn't understand what the women in the harem were thinking. They entered the palace either for the glory of their family or for power and status. It was obvious that they did not truly love the emperor, but they still competed for his favor every now and then.

Even the Fucha family is the same.

Ruyi sighed. Fucha seemed to have been raised according to a mold since she was a child. She had no liveliness or spirit at all. She was born to marry into the palace, and her whole person was bound by her family.

Unlike me, I have been childhood sweethearts with brother Hongli since childhood.

He had been getting along with Brother Hongli like a brother since childhood and knew all of Brother Hongli's preferences. They truly loved each other.

When she thought of this, the expression on Ruyi's face dimmed a lot.

At the beginning, her aunt wanted her to marry the third prince. If it were any other girl, she would have agreed long ago and would have been complacent about it.

But what about her? She was smart since she was young, and she figured out how to go to the toilet during the selection of the third prince, and avoided the position of concubine, keeping the man in her heart, and giving brother Hongli the opportunity to express his feelings.

Ruyi never doubted Brother Hongli's sincerity towards her. Even when she was testing him on the city wall, Brother Hongli was the first to beg her to take part in his talent show.

Although he said that he would never choose her no matter what, he could not hide the look in Brother Hongli's eyes.

She didn't actually want to be late on purpose. Her father, mother, and aunt all supported her to take part in the selection and become Brother Hongli's wife.

She also thought about whether she should not go to avoid being trapped in the palace for the rest of her life, but brother Hongli's heart was with her. If she didn't go, brother Hongli would never get true love and happiness in his life. If she went, she was afraid that she would be envied by other women for the rest of her life, so she was always struggling.

On the surface it looked like a talent show, but in reality she was giving brother Hongli a chance.

Finally, she went. When she ran on the street for the love in her heart, she was happy! Brother Hongli was also happy!

Ruyi will never forget the time when she was late and saw brother Hongli with a gloomy and painful face as he had to give Ruyi to Fucha. When brother Hongli saw her, he felt relieved and happy from the bottom of his heart!

For her, her brother Hongli took the Ruyi from Fucha and gave the Ruyi, which represented the legitimate wife, to the right person.

At that time, they only had each other in their eyes. She should be Brother Hongli's wife, the one who would accompany him to rule the world.

It's just a pity that my aunt is a useless person. If nothing had happened to my aunt, why would I be targeted and humiliated by Fucha today?

Brother Hongli was held hostage by Fucha, so even if he wanted to protect her, he could only deliberately ignore her.

Ruyi looked at the armor on her hand with some disappointment, "I didn't expect that Fucha's mind has been so deep that she even used her maid to intimidate me in order to target me."

惢心's eyes widened. What kind of words were these? She was present the whole day. It was clearly the Queen who sent someone to bring food to the Emperor, but Ruyi was sitting there like the wife. She was sarcastic every time she spoke.

The Queen was directly accused of having never seen anything good. At most, the Queen Mother did not want to bother with her and just arranged for someone to teach her the rules.

What's there to target?

If it was Concubine Gao who came at that time, I'm afraid she would rush over and slap her as soon as she said the first sentence.

The Emperor came to her countless times when she was being punished, and each time he just said some nice words. He had no intention of lifting the punishment, and his attitude was already clear.

Why doesn't Ruyi understand it yet?

The most important thing is, Rong Pei who was standing beside her was looked at with almost despair. This person was just given by the Queen, and she was saying bad things about her previous master in front of Rong Pei. Wasn't she afraid that Rong Pei would slap her back?

Rong Pei naturally heard these words, but did not respond and chose to remain silent.

Rong Pei felt that since she was following Concubine Xian now, she would belong to Concubine Xian in the future. As a servant, she had to consider her master unconditionally, so she listened to these words selectively.

"I can't stay dormant any longer. It's time to let the other women in the harem know what the real rules are."

Ruyi took a deep breath, as if she had figured something out. She wanted to declare war on the Queen.

Suoxin just felt dizzy and couldn't understand what to say. She could only find an excuse and hurried down to work.

She just felt that if she didn't leave the room quickly, she would not only hear a lot of unacceptable words, but her brain might also be affected.

Ruyi was immersed in her own world, and she was always selective in listening to惢心's words. Except for words like "the master is smart", all other words were dispensable, so she just nodded weakly and let惢心 leave.

Rong Pei did not leave, but stood firmly behind Ruyi, staring at her new master with heartache in her eyes.

Your Majesty is so good, why can't the Emperor see your sincerity?

Fu Heng was also very nervous.

He had a very good relationship with his sister before, but after his sister got married and became queen, she became increasingly busy and they rarely saw each other.

But now his sister suddenly let him into the palace, and he didn't believe it was just because his sister missed him.

Fu Heng was happy, yet at the same time, he was counting the days with some anxiety, waiting for the time to enter the palace to see his sister.

Could it be that she has always been concerned about the fact that her sister almost lost her position as the legitimate wife to the Ulanara family, and now she is being bullied by the Ulanara family in the harem?

What he didn't know was that the sister he had been thinking about had changed, and he didn't know that this "sister" was even stricter than the original one.

Before Fu Heng entered the palace, Rong Yin thought of Fu Cha Lang Ya, who dragged her sick body to fight with the Queen Mother in order to prevent Jing Se from marrying off. If Lang Ya hadn't died, she would probably fight with the Queen Mother to the end to prevent her daughter from marrying far away.

Now it is the time for the Emperor's first eastern tour in thirteen years since he ascended the throne. In his previous life, Fu Cha Lang Ya ignored her own health and was obsessed with not being suppressed by Ruyi, so she went there despite her sick body, and eventually ruined her already poor health.

She will never make the same mistake again in her life, and she will never be blinded like Fu Cha Langya.

"Yanwan, call Jingse over."

Wei Yanwan nodded, knowing that her queen had already begun making preparations to save the princess.

After Jingse came over, she politely greeted Rongyin, "Empress Dowager."

Wei Yanwan asked all the palace maids in the hall to leave, and she was the last to leave, closing the palace door tightly, leaving ample space for the mother and daughter.

Jingse felt it was a little strange. The Empress Dowager had never been so serious in dismissing people around her. What happened now?

"Does the Empress have something to tell me? Listen carefully."

Rongyin pulled Jingse to sit next to her. Jingse leaned on her shoulder with complete trust, looking like a coquettish little girl.

"Jingse, you are almost of marriageable age now. Although it is too early for me to tell you this, I still want to ask you what you think, what if your father insists that you go to Mongolia for marriage?"

Jingse was stunned and subconsciously wanted to shake her head, "My daughter doesn't want to leave the Queen Mother."

But before Rongyin could say anything else, Jingse suddenly raised his head and looked at Rongyin intently, "Has the Queen Mother heard any news?"

Rongyin had a distressed look on her face. If it were before, her brothers, Fu Cha Rongyin, were all good fighters and had made great achievements on the battlefield. They would have been more willing to use their military achievements to convince others rather than let their daughter get married.

But she could never forget that in this timeline, other people from the Fucha family came to the palace to force Fucha Langya, who had just lost her son, to marry Jingse in order to gain more help.

Since she has taken Fu Cha Langya's place and lived a new life, she must protect her daughter for Fu Cha Langya.

"My empress, I am a princess of the Qing Dynasty. I have been blessed by the whole world for so many years. If that day ever comes, I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities. I just hope that my empress can worry less about me and live a long and safe life, so that I can go to Mongolia without any worries."

Rong Yin looked at Jing Se with loving eyes, and reached out to touch her hair. "Silly child, I won't let you leave the capital. But you have to be prepared. When that day comes, you must listen to me."

Jingse knew that her Royal Mother was the best woman in the world, but she couldn't bear to see her quarrel with her Royal Father over her. She was about to say something but was interrupted by Rongyin.

"Don't be afraid, no one can hurt you. I will definitely find a way to keep you in the capital and will never let you go to Mongolia. Your father will be on an eastern tour in a few days, and I will go with him. You must be obedient and never make any mistakes during this time. Don't let anyone catch you."

Jingse looked at her Royal Mother’s determined expression, and her initial panic over her upcoming marriage calmed down. “My daughter will always believe in the Royal Mother.”

She knew that in order to ensure that she would not marry far away and suffer, the Empress Dowager must have received some news, and she was also prepared to withstand the pressure from the Fucha family for her.

The most important thing is, if there really is to be a marriage between the Manchus and the Mongols, the only princess of the right age in the entire palace would be her and the Queen Mother Hengti.

The Empress Dowager was willing to fight against the Queen Mother for her.

Thinking of this, Jingse couldn't help but lean her head on Rongyin's knees like she did when she was a child, "Mother Queen, in your eyes, your daughter and your brother are the same..."

Rong Yin smiled and patted her head, "You are all my children."

A few days later, Fu Heng came to pay his respects to her.

Rong Yin looked up and down at this "brother" of hers whom she had never met before. His appearance and stature were different, but fortunately, the gleam in his eyes and his character were still those of a child of the Fucha family.

The brother and sister stayed in the palace for an hour. When they left, Wei Yanwan saw Fu Heng off. The two did not have much communication along the way, but Wei Yanwan did not miss the fact that the expression of Master Fucha had changed greatly from before he entered Changchun Palace.

She did not ask the Queen what her plan was, but silently helped the Queen prepare for the eastern tour. Fortunately, the Queen also took her with her to serve.

In her previous life, Fu Cha Langya climbed Mount Tai despite her illness. In this life, Fu Cha Rongyin went up in good health. Apart from a little bit of heat in her body, she had no other major illness. The concubines who went with her included Ruyi, Su Lujun, Yihuan, etc., and Jingse was also brought along.

Jingse did not ridicule Ruyi and the others for the Empress Dowager as she did in her previous life, and Rongyin has always been in good health, and most of the time she keeps Jingse by her side to educate her.

Jingse was originally valued by the emperor. At this time, her style of doing things has added some of Rongyin's grace and elegance, and the emperor loves her even more.

A few days later, Rong Yin was talking to the emperor.

The emperor suddenly spoke up, "Do you know that the Mongolian Khorchin tribe wants to marry a legitimate princess to their son, Sebuteng Balzhuer?"

Rong Yin thought to herself, "Here it comes."

"That child had been raised in the capital before, and was a companion to the princes. Later, two years ago, he was conferred the title of Duke of Fuguo. He can be considered a good child who knows his background well."

"The only unmarried princesses in the palace now are Princess Hengti, the youngest daughter of the Empress Dowager, and Jingse, my concubine and the Emperor. Could it be that they want to marry Jingse?"

Rong Yin put on an appropriately anxious expression.

The emperor saw her expression change and immediately changed his tone. He was actually very reluctant to part with Jingse. "They didn't specify which princess they wanted, so I discussed it with you."

Of course, we have to investigate what needs to be investigated. Rong Yin asked, "It would be nice if I could marry in the capital..."

"But according to the normal tradition of the Khorchin tribe, the prince's son must follow their tradition and return to the Khorchin tribe when he gets married."

The emperor took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, and sighed softly.

"If we return to Korchinbu to live, it will be a marriage far away for any princess. The Empress Dowager's Hengchu has already married far away, and she will definitely be reluctant to leave Princess Hengti. Your Jingse and I have been raised in pampered conditions since childhood, and I am afraid we can't endure the hardship. Moreover, I can't bear to see Sister Hengti marry far away..."

She didn't know how many times she had reminded herself in her heart that she must not show too much anxiety at this time, nor reveal her thoughts too early, and she must push the problem to the emperor first.

After all, Rongyin still remembered that in her previous life, Ruyi gave advice to the Queen Mother and sent her to Jingse, thus destroying Fucha Langya's last chance of survival.

She has to avenge this revenge.

"Although the Khorchin tribe is the largest in Mongolia, our Jingse is still young..."

Rong Yin did not mention Heng Ti, and the emperor sighed. Whether it was marrying a daughter or a sister, he would naturally keep the daughter.

But he is the emperor, and it is impossible for him to do everything according to his own ideas. "The ministers in the court considered that the Empress's daughter Hengchu has already married into the Dzungarian Khanate. If Hengti marries far away again, I am afraid that the Empress will be sad for a long time."

Even if he didn't say the following words, he would still feel uncomfortable in terms of filial piety.

Rongyin glanced out the window inconspicuously while Yihuan was eavesdropping outside.

At the beginning, she had cut off Bai Ruiji's possibility of entering the palace, but she didn't expect that Yihuan would take the position of this chess piece now.
