Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem

However, Nadorza was vulgar and arrogant. After he ascended the throne, he was always proud of marrying a Qing princess. He was proud of his achievements, complacent and conceited.

Over the years, Dorza indulged in wine and women and had many concubines. The relationship between him and Princess Duanshu was so weak that the princess still had no children after many years of marriage.

It would be fine if he was simply unambitious and cold-hearted, but he was also extremely strong-willed and jealous, often suspicious of those around him for no reason.

In order to prevent the recurrence of the mutiny, Dorza ignored family affection and cruelly beheaded his younger brother Tsewangdash. This atrocity made the people of Dzungar panic and scattered.

The nobles of Dzungar finally could not tolerate it anymore and turned to support another relative, Dawachi.

Dawachi was also a man who could grasp the situation and act decisively. Seeing the general trend, he took advantage of the unrest in the hearts of the people in Junggar and led his troops to take a detour and enter Yili directly.

Then, he took advantage of Dorza's unpreparedness and assassinated him. Afterwards, he used both kindness and force to pacify the tribe, and finally successfully established his own army and succeeded as the new Khan of the Junggar tribe.

This matter has just been reported to the palace, and the emperor is currently summoning his ministers to discuss the matter in the Yangxin Palace.

"Such a major event is enough to shock the court and the public. The emperor is furious, and the queen mother will certainly intervene for the sake of Princess Duanshu.

By then, the Queen Mother will probably be too busy to take care of Jingyang Palace anymore."

What Xing'er said was exactly what Wei Yanwan was thinking. Wei Yanwan stroked the rabbit's shiny fur in her arms with a faint smile on her lips.

“Taking advantage of the opportunity, this is indeed a good opportunity, I can’t let it go to waste.

By the way, have you checked out the new eunuch Wang Chan assigned by the Ministry of Internal Affairs? And the imperial physician Bao from the Imperial Hospital?"

Xing'er understood that Wei Yanwan was training her own people, and she took it very seriously, "I have checked, and he has a clean background and is quite diligent.

As for Doctor Bao, although his medical skills are far inferior to those of Doctor Qi and Doctor Jiang, he is not bad either.

The most important thing is that they are both very flexible. Before I could say a few words, he was already grateful and willing to work for us. "

Wei Yanwan nodded, but her expression was still not relaxed at all, "Whether this person is good or not, you have to use him to know.

When I do something, I must use a fatal move. If I look ahead and behind, I will lose the opportunity and be caught by others, which will be more trouble than gain. "

"I understand the master's orders."

Xing'er brought a bowl of carrot slices cut into small pieces for Wei Yanwan, and watched Wei Yanwan calmly holding the fork and feeding the rabbit one piece at a time.

"If someone fails to do his job well and holds us back, we will just treat him as if he has failed the test and let him go. No one will be able to find his way to Chengqian Palace."

The civil strife in Dzungar was a major event that could not be concealed.

Although Princess Duanshu and Dorza had a bad relationship, they were still husband and wife after all.

She personally wrote a letter home, with earnest words and tears in every word, begging the emperor to intervene and send the court's elite troops to avenge her husband and quell the civil strife in Dzungar.

However, the emperor and his ministers discussed the matter for several days but no action was taken.

Bad news comes one after another.

Dawachi guessed that Princess Duanshu would ask the Qing Dynasty for help, so he followed suit and wrote a letter asking to marry Princess Duanshu as his wife.

This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, shocking the court and the public. The empress dowager was ashamed and angry, and she was the first to be unable to sit still.

But after all, there had to be room for maneuver between them, the royal mother and son, so the empress dowager did not go directly to the Yangxin Palace to question the emperor, but sent Fujia to the Yikun Palace to "invite" Ruyi over.

As the queen and the daughter-in-law, Ruyi knew she couldn't escape.

She simply ordered Rong Pei to go to the small kitchen to get a bowl of sweet soup, and then changed into a more casual outfit of a green satin cloak with a dark floral pattern of snow plums, paired with a shiny plain satin robe cape, and went to pay a visit to the empress dowager with her bulging belly.

When they arrived at the Cining Palace, the empress dowager was sitting upright in the middle of the hall, wearing a dark blue Manchu dress with a pattern of broken branches, flowers, cranes and welcoming pine trees. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.

At a quick glance, Ruyi discovered that the empress dowager's hair, which was always neatly tied under the kingfisher-inlaid jade and longevity ornaments, was now carelessly loose.

I guess you are troubled and worried, so you have no mood to dress up.

The Empress Dowager's youngest daughter, Princess Roushu, also sat beside her, looking very sad.

The crimson, dark red, silver-threaded peony flower dress she was wearing, and the milky jade earrings on her ears, made the tears in her gentle and bright eyes look even more vivid and moving, like the hazy rain.

After some polite greetings, Ruyi sat down calmly and spoke directly without beating around the bush.

"Madam, I know you love your daughter very much and I am extremely worried, so I specially asked the kitchen to make a bird's nest and candied dates sweet soup. Please have some first."

The Queen Mother's expression eased slightly. She accepted Ruyi's kindness, took a sip, and praised, "You are thoughtful. But I am upset, and I can't taste the best food."

Ruyi naturally understood what the Queen Mother meant, "The Empress Dowager's concern for Princess Duanshu is the same as that of the Emperor and me.

It's just that the emperor has been discussing the affairs of the Dzungar Khanate with his ministers in the Yangxin Palace these days, and has not been to the harem for a long time. I want to persuade him, but I have no chance. "

The Queen Mother's anger gradually became apparent, and she said worriedly, "The Emperor has been discussing this for so long, but there is still no result.

Those ministers will just stick to the status quo, shirk their responsibilities, and be timid, which is really useless.

To my mind, Dawachi has already committed treason and is an unmitigated traitor.

Why didn't the emperor just send troops to pacify the Dzungar Khanate and bring back his poor sister? "

Ruyi could only smile bitterly and remain silent.

If the Qing Dynasty was really that powerful, it would be great if the emperor really had that kind of courage.

The empress dowager had placed too high hopes on an emperor whom even the concubines' mothers' families were wary of.

To say the least, the Queen Mother's statement was naive and could only be regarded as a woman's opinion. If we really wanted to send troops, we would need food, fodder, and money, which were real and big problems.

Even if the one asking for help from the Qing Dynasty at this time was the emperor's own daughter Princess Jingse or Princess Jingshu, given the emperor's cold nature and inner calculations, Ruyi didn't think the emperor would give in.

The Empress Dowager has been immersed in the harem for many years, she must understand this truth, it's just that she's too concerned.

Ruyi couldn't and didn't want to respond to the Queen Mother's words, so she just lowered her eyes and sighed, "Madam, calm down.

I understand the Empress Dowager's painstaking efforts, but I am in the harem like the Empress Dowager, so how dare I interfere in the political affairs of the previous dynasty?"

Ruyi's response was soft and lingering. She not only distanced herself from the matter, but also subtly reminded the empress dowager that the harem was not allowed to interfere in government affairs, which left the empress dowager speechless for a moment.
