Ruyi never thought too much about such things. She had already surrendered to the Queen Mother a long time ago and had never given her any feedback. She was somewhat worried that the Queen Mother would be dissatisfied or ignore her surrender.

So Ruyi calmed down without saying a word and went to find the Queen Mother with determination.

When the Queen Mother heard that Ruyi was coming, she was a little unsure for a moment. Why on earth did Ruyi come to see her?

"Empress Dowager, I think you know that the court has been arguing over whether to let Princess Hengti or Princess Hejing get married. I am willing to help you solve your worries."

After Ruyi said this, the Empress Dowager immediately expressed her doubt. She did not think that Ulanara was truly willing to submit, but wanted to use this incident to pit herself against the Queen.

If she defeated the queen, Ulanara's status in the harem would naturally rise. However, she had already contacted the ministers of the previous dynasty, but she didn't know to what extent those ministers could accomplish things.

It would be okay to listen to what Ulanara said at this time.

"Princess Xian, what do you think?"

Ruyi smiled, and with the help of惢心, she sat in front of the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, I think you should take the initiative to ask the Emperor to marry Princess Hengti off."

The Empress Dowager was suddenly stunned after hearing these words. She even doubted whether Ruyi really said that or whether she was deaf due to her old age?

"How dare you! I see that you are not here to give me advice, but to help the emperor and the queen to hurt my heart!"

She has already given up her eldest daughter, and now only has a younger daughter by her side. Moreover, she is now the empress dowager. She will not plot for the position of empress like she did when the late emperor was still alive, and she will not really break off relations with the emperor.

Even if she died, she would be nothing more than a pile of bones. What she wanted now was that her little daughter could stay by her side and be filial to her, and then find a suitable family for her to marry off in a few years.

The matter of Hengchui marrying far away has always been a hurdle in her heart. If she lets Hengti marry far away at this time, she is afraid that she will be bullied to death by the emperor and the queen in the palace in the future!

"Empress Dowager, I know you are reluctant to part with Princess Hengti, but only if you take the initiative to ask the Emperor to marry Princess Hengti off, can Princess Hejing safely replace Princess Hengti."

The Empress Dowager's expression darkened. She had been worried about this matter these days, and it seemed that Ruyi was really giving her advice.

"Tell me carefully."

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had finally had the space to perform.

"Princess Hejing is the Queen's child. She has always considered herself a legitimate princess and is favored by the Emperor. She behaves in a way that is somewhat inconsiderate of others. Compared to your Princess Hengti, if this is really revealed, everyone would prefer Princess Hengti to stay in the capital."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she nodded slowly, and it was obvious that Ruyi had comforted her to the point.

Ruyi first smoothed over the empress dowager's hair, "If Princess Hengti doesn't want to marry far away, you have to show enough attitude. Although the emperor loves and respects the princess, he cannot ignore the overall situation and cannot destroy the current stability of the court."

The Queen Mother's expression changed, and she looked at Ruyi thoughtfully, "Go on."

"Zungar and Khorchin are both among the most powerful tribes in Mongolia. Not only do they have great say in the local area, they also have sufficient food, gold, silver, cattle, horses and soldiers. Whoever is sent there in the Manchu-Mongol marriage will get the help." Ruyi curled her lips, with a lot of pride in her words.

Although she overheard these words, if what Zhang Tingyu said could be used by her, I think Zhang Tingyu would feel very pleased after knowing this.

"Princess Hengchu has already married Junggar. If Princess Hengti marries to Khorchin, do you think the emperor will be willing to see both of these benefits of the Manchu-Mongolian marriage belong to you?"

The Queen Mother was enlightened.

She and the emperor had a relationship of adoptive mother and adopted son. Before the emperor ascended the throne, their interests were aligned towards the outside world. After the emperor ascended the throne, they became wary of and guarded against each other.

Even if they maintain a superficially harmonious relationship, there will often be all kinds of open and covert struggles when their interests conflict.

If her Hengti really married into the Khorchin side, the emperor would certainly not agree.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be hesitating about who to marry to the princess even though he loves and respects her so much?

Ruyi sat aside and carefully observed the expression on the Queen Mother's face. She curled her lips slightly and said, "What you need now is to add fuel to the fire. As long as you make your attitude clear, no matter how much the Emperor dotes on Princess Hejing, he will have to give her up."

She thought that she had already explained the most basic core interests at this time. The Queen Mother has always been a smart person and would definitely understand.

Ruyi lowered her head slightly, her eyes darkened, "The Fucha family will also try every means to compete with you for this help. Now they haven't said anything, nor have they sent anyone to the palace to deliver a message to the Queen. It's just because you can't bear to part with Princess Hengti, and you want to wait for the price and observe the current situation before reacting.

"But if you make your attitude known in advance, you can not only win the emperor's favor, but also force the Fucha family to put pressure on the queen. Although the queen loves and respects the princess, she cannot ignore the family behind her, nor can she ignore the interests of the emperor."

"As long as you make your attitude known, speak out, and make the event as big as possible, someone will naturally help you with the rest."

Suo Xin was really scared when she saw the appearance of her master. With dark red lip balm on, she looked like a bad guy under the dim light.

Like... certain snakes.

The Queen Mother, who had been agonizing for so many days, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Ruyi with a smile on her face, "You came here specially to see me, not just to comfort me, right? Is there anything else you want to do?"

Ruyi smiled and spoke in a dignified manner, but every word seemed to be laced with poison.

"The Queen has not been in good health recently. On the one hand, she has spent too much effort managing the affairs of the harem, and on the other hand, her physical foundation is a little weak. If this matter can allow the Queen to have a good rest, I would like to ask the Queen Mother to give me a little help, so that I can relieve your worries in the future."

At this moment,惢心 felt a chill all over her body. When did her master become like this?

The Queen Mother has always been fair and just in managing the harem. She has never deliberately suppressed any concubine and has always adhered to the principle of allowing a hundred flowers to bloom. She can also understand those women who want to do things for their family or who are in love with the Emperor, and she gives them the opportunities without hesitation.

Pregnant concubines were also taken good care of. Over the years, all the princes and princesses in the harem were plump and healthy.

Moreover, when she was not feeling well, she would share the power of assisting in managing the harem without saying a word. She never used her status to ridicule or bully anyone. Even when her master repeatedly overstepped her authority and broke the rules, the empress would only confine her master and make her copy the palace rules as punishment.

As for the demotion, it was also the emperor's idea. If the queen really cared too much or deliberately made things difficult for her, Suo Xin knew better than anyone that there was no way the master and servant would be able to walk out of the cold palace alive.

The most important thing is that the Queen is also very kind to the servants around her. She never deducts their monthly salary, and she never gets angry with the servants at will.

Why would the master want to take advantage of the Queen's love for her daughter to scheme against her, and even want to make the Queen worry and become ill?

Was the original person Dan Ruju fake? She just felt terrible.
