Rebirth: Ruyi goes crazy in the harem
Chapter 273: Three Divinations in a Row
"That's enough, shut up!"
Yongsheng didn't understand why the emperor was angry for no reason, so he could only slump down, hunch his back, and shut up.
"Dawachi can be shameless, but I can't. I'm really in a difficult situation." The emperor gritted his teeth and suppressed his anger. The bulging blue veins could even be vaguely seen on his clenched fists.
Seeing that the emperor was in deep distress, Yongqi pursed his lips and said in a gentle voice, "Father, your majesty is wise in judgment, and Princess Duanshu is even more understanding of justice.
I believe that as long as the Emperor is sincere in wanting to rescue the princess, the princess will have no regrets no matter what the outcome.
God will have mercy on the Emperor's efforts and the Empress's longing for her daughter, and let the Princess return safely."
After several fruitless discussions, the emperor finally ordered to continue sending troops to put pressure on Dzungar and never negotiate with them easily.
Knowing that the emperor had been busy with state affairs and had not eaten all day, Ruyi came to the Yangxin Palace with a food box.
But the emperor is worried about the war, so no matter how many delicacies he has, they are tasteless. He put down his chopsticks, sighed, and said in a low voice, "Duan Shu is indeed a woman who understands the great cause and is rare in the world.
If praying to God can bring peace to Duan Shu, then I will definitely do it. "
Ruyi stood up, poured a glass of wine for the emperor, and handed it to him gently, "Since the emperor is worried about the princess, why not ask the Imperial Observatory to predict the good and bad luck.
If it is a good sign, His Majesty will be relieved, and the Empress will surely feel better too."
Speaking of this, the emperor became even more worried, "I have already asked the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to make three divinations in a row.
One hexagram is bad but good, a middle-lower hexagram. One hexagram is chaotic at first but peaceful later, also a middle-lower hexagram. Only the last hexagram is bad but good, a middle-middle hexagram.
The Imperial Astronomical Observatory said that it was hard to predict whether Hengchu would be lucky or unlucky this time, and that he could only seek safety amid danger. All the twists and turns were determined by fate.
Ruyi remained silent, and suddenly felt her hand being grasped. The emperor's voice was as cold as the sound of a dusk bell, and it faded away slowly.
"Ruyi, do you know that the spies I sent reported that Duanshu wanted to commit suicide several times after she learned that she had become Dawachi's weak spot to threaten the Qing Dynasty.
It’s just…it’s just that Duanshu is already pregnant with Dawachi’s child…”
Ruyi's heart trembled, but she was not surprised.
In her previous life, because Hengchu was pregnant with Dawachi's child, the emperor gave Dawachi the title of Prince and allowed him to live out his days in the capital.
Even though they were disgusted with each other, they had to stay together for the rest of their lives out of courtesy and etiquette.
Ruyi reached out to smooth the wrinkles between the emperor's brows and gently advised, "This matter involves state affairs, and I dare not make any comments."
The emperor shook his head slightly, "Hengchui should call you the emperor's sister-in-law, this is not a state matter, it's just a family matter.
The Empress Dowager was critically ill, and I dared not tell her about either the hexagram or Hengchu's pregnancy. I had to keep it to myself.
But it is really hard for me to hold it in day after day. Ruyi, can you understand me?"
Ruyi showed a trace of reluctance on her face, bit her lip lightly, and finally spoke, "Of course I am willing to share the burden for the emperor.
Since the emperor has said so, I have no choice but to consider the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was married to the distant Junggar, and then remarried to Dawachi. As a woman, I can empathize with her and think that she must be extremely miserable and want to escape.
The emperor should pacify the Dzungar Khanate and save the reputation of the Qing Dynasty. He should also save the eldest princess from danger and comfort the empress dowager.
I think that the emperor should first pretend to agree to the peace talks on the premise that he needs to meet the princess to ensure her safety, and then work together with the princess to attack Junggar.
When Junggar surrenders to the threat of the Qing Dynasty, we will bring the princess back to our dynasty.
Being the eldest princess of the Qing dynasty is definitely more stable and prosperous than being a concubine of the Junggar Khan. The eldest princess should know how to think for herself. "
Ruyi only gave a general direction, and the emperor immediately understood what she meant.
After thinking for a moment, the emperor clapped his hands and applauded, "Ruyi, you are really smart and quick-witted. This is a great idea."
Ruyi smiled and lowered her eyes, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I have only come up with a crude idea. I still have to rely on Your Majesty as to how to implement it."
"I never knew you had such a brain. It really surprises me." The emperor held Ruyi's hand, and the admiration in his eyes seemed to be mixed with a hint of temptation.
Ruyi was extremely disappointed, but she became particularly sober. She remained calm and said with melancholy and regret, "I also feel sorry for Princess Duanshu.
As a woman myself, I cannot bear to see the Empress Dowager and the Princess drowning in misery every day. "
The emperor nodded slightly and sighed, "Ruyi, you are so kind and virtuous. I am so lucky to have chosen you as my successor."
Ruyi did not take any credit for herself, but just sat down beside the emperor and leaned her head on his shoulder.
Since everyone praised her as a virtuous queen, she would naturally show the humility of a virtuous queen, "Your Majesty, you know that I don't care about status, I only care about the relationship with Your Majesty.
Whether I am the Empress or Concubine Xian, as long as I can help the Emperor solve his problems, I will do it with pleasure. "
After the emperor left, Ruyi stood alone by the window, looking at the vines climbing on the high walls in the courtyard, feeling sad.
Rong Pei brought a cloak and gently put it on Ruyi, "My queen, it's cold and windy, you must keep warm."
"No matter how cold the weather is, it can't overcome the coldness of people's hearts." Ruyi sighed, "Has the message been passed on to Ling Yunche?"
Rong Pei nodded, "The urgent secret letter should be delivered before the emperor makes a decision.
If Lord Ling can seize the opportunity and establish achievements this time, he will definitely be grateful to the Empress for her kindness."
Ruyi gently turned the warm jade ring on her hand, "It's not a favor, as long as he knows how to repay a favor.
Rong Pei, are you also confused as to why I gave His Majesty such an idea? "
Rong Pei said softly, "Even though Your Majesty dislikes the Queen Mother and Princess Duanshu, she is still unwilling to sit on the sidelines and watch the fire at this moment. Your Majesty is kind and compassionate."
Ruyi smiled faintly, but it soon disappeared, "Compassion and kindness are just a way to show off to others and gain a good reputation.
I feel sorry for the eldest princess. But since ancient times, who wouldn't be pitiful when a woman stands in the world?
Look at the women in the harem, each of them is noble and glorious, but how many of them are willing to stay in the palace, and how many of them truly love the emperor.
To put it bluntly, it's just a show to make a living and try to live a decent and glorious life."
Ruyi pointed to the vine whose leaves were already yellow and bald, "Men are high walls, and women are vines. They must rely on men to survive.
Even for the queen and even the queen mother, this has never changed.
Regardless of whether the eldest princess was willing or not, she ultimately sacrificed her marriage and her life for the Qing Dynasty.
Now that the princess is facing a life-or-death crisis, even if I dislike her, I definitely cannot gloat over her misfortune. "
