Guard Ma Jia didn't care much about it.

He gently stroked Jingse's back in his arms, with a hint of imperceptible temptation, and said leisurely, "Princess, you worry too much.

The emperor is a son of heaven, blessed by the dragon spirit, how could he be easily killed by a grassland woman?"

After some persuasion and instigation from guard Ma Jia, Jingse finally couldn't help but be moved.

She ordered someone to call Borjigit, and the two of them chatted from noon to sunset, and then they said goodbye reluctantly as if they had met too late.

In a blink of an eye, it was the season of scorching sun and blazing clouds. Not to mention the midday sun, even after dusk, the Forbidden City was filled with lingering heat.

In the four corners of the Hall of Mental Cultivation there are ice basins decorated with lucky clouds and lotus flowers.

The roses in the hall are in full bloom, and the translucent bright red petals are filled with a continuous rich fragrance, which mixed with the coolness emitted by the ice basin in the hall, giving a unique feeling of calmness and tranquility.

Ruyi lifted the pine yellow crystal curtain outside and walked in with a breeze, stirring the curling icy mist in the palace, just like a rare coolness that penetrated into the emperor's hot and restless heart.

"Greetings to His Majesty. I have just come from the Yanxi Palace and the Yonghe Palace to congratulate His Majesty."

It turned out that Hailan and Yingpin couldn't eat because of the summer heat, so Ruyi sent an imperial physician to see them, only to find out that the two concubines were pregnant one after another.

The emperor was extremely satisfied with his display of prowess. With a stroke of his pen, all kinds of gold and silver rewards flowed into the Yanxi Palace and Yonghe Palace like water.

Ruyi smiled and agreed, "Your Majesty is getting stronger. You are a wise ruler. You treat the old and new people in the palace equally. It is a blessing for the harem and the world."

Ruyi only said things that the emperor liked.

Anyway, it's just a few words of insincere compliment, which is not troublesome and can make the emperor happy, and then he can allocate more money to the concubines under him.

After asking a few questions about Hailan and Yingpin's pregnancy status, the emperor turned to talk about the latest news from the Khorchin tribe.

"Ruyi, I asked you to come here this time to discuss the selection with you."

Ruyi looked at the emperor's beard and the slightly wrinkled skin at the corners of his eyes with a smile on her face, and secretly thought that the emperor was really lustful... Oh no, it was his virility that did not diminish with age.

"The selection of concubines has always been handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I only ask about it occasionally and don't dare to take charge of it. I wonder what the emperor wants to discuss with me?

But the emperor has a favorite candidate, but it is difficult to ask during the palace selection. Do you need me to help you choose one in advance?"

Ruyi looked at the emperor with a teasing look without any hesitation, which made his face blush.

"Not really." Although the emperor denied it very quickly, he still pondered and expressed his thoughts.

Sanggendun, the leader of the Khorchin tribe, wanted to send his daughter Eyinzhu to the palace as a concubine.

She also said in a very humble and flattering manner that she did not seek any noble status and would be satisfied as long as she could serve the emperor.

Zhaisang was ranked just below the prince, and was the right-hand man of the Khorchin prince. His position was like that of a prime minister in the tribe, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was second only to the king.

The daughter of a high-ranking official like Gendun begged to enter the palace to serve. In addition to currying favor, she must have other more important purposes.

Perhaps in order to cover up something, Zhai Sanggendun listed many reasons in the petition requesting to send his daughter into the palace.

The most legendary one among them is the mysterious rumor about the Eyin Pearl.

Eyinzhu was nearly thirty years old and had never been married. The reason was not difficult to find out, so Gendun simply explained it all honestly in the memorial.

When she was young, Eyinzhu was also married to someone else.

However, three times in a row, the men who were being married died suddenly for various reasons before they could enter the Eyin Pearl.

Therefore, the news that Eyinzhu was a husband-killer had already spread all over the grassland.

Gendun attached great importance to his daughter's marriage.

He specially sought out a lama from the grassland to calculate E Yinzhu's marriage fortune, who said that she needed to marry the most noble man in the world in order to control her fate of bringing bad luck to her husband.

So after that, Gendun didn't dare to arrange a marriage for E Yinzhu anymore. This dragged on until now, when E Yinzhu was almost thirty years old.

Ruyi could easily tell from the mockery in the emperor's eyes that the emperor did not believe such words.

Ruyi gently waved the pear-shaped fan embroidered with a koi carp playing with red lotus in her hand, and smiled softly, "Your Majesty is wise, these so-called rumors cannot deceive your discerning eyes.

This Gendun is really showing off his skills in front of an expert, thinking he is smart, it is really ridiculous. "

The emperor did not shy away from it and laughed out loud, "Ruyi, you are the only one in the palace who understands my feelings so well and can talk to me about these trivial matters.

Indeed, I can see clearly what Gendun is thinking. It is just because Jingse and Efu are not on good terms, and the Khorchin tribe is afraid that the marriage alliance will not be strong enough.

It’s a pity that there are too few princesses of marriageable age in the Khorchin tribe, and some of them are either already married or have not yet grown up.

After much selection, the only one left was Zhai Sanggendun's daughter, E Yinzhu, who was of marriageable age and unmarried.

Ruyi knew that Eyinzhu was a complete idiot.

Whether it was vying for favor, currying favor with the emperor, or stealing government affairs and leaking information, there was nothing she could do neatly and easily.

There is only one heart, vicious and arrogant, and the means are stupid and direct.

Such a person is like an arrow without tail feathers, a boat without oars. Anyone can change her direction with a little effort.

The emperor wanted to appease the Khorchin tribe and consolidate the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia, so Eyinzhu's entry into the palace was inevitable.

Since it is only a matter of time, it is better to let nature take its course.

Ruyi was looking forward to it. In this life, since Eyinzhu had entered the palace a few years earlier, would she create a different spark between her and the emperor?

Ruyi bowed, the golden tassels in her hair dazzled the eyes, but her tone was not as ostentatious as her dress, but rather humble and respectful.

"Your Majesty is a man who cares about the world. He has already made up his mind about the matter of a woman.

As the mistress of the six palaces, I shall obey the emperor's wishes. I will handle the selection carefully and pay close attention to it, and I will not disappoint the emperor."

Looking at such a gorgeous and beautiful woman, who was servile, submissive and gentle before him, such a contrast really pleased the emperor.

He stood up, took Ruyi's hand, and patted her affectionately, "Ruyi, you are so virtuous and considerate, and always in harmony with me. You are worthy of being the queen I personally chose.

With you in charge of the harem, I have nothing to worry about. It is really a blessing for me and the harem."

Ruyi was content to accept such praise and felt fully deserving of it.

Her reputation for virtue gradually spread from the harem to the front court and even outside the palace because of the emperor's repeated praise.

Everyone said that after Empress Xiaoxian, the successor, Empress Ulanara, was even more virtuous and chaste than the former.
