The Horqin tribe begs to marry the princess
In ancient palaces, the intertwining of power and emotion often makes people breathless.The Queen Mother and the Empress, two noble women, started a contest about their daughter's marriage because of their respective worries and concerns.
The Queen Mother came to see the Emperor and had something important to tell her.However, no one dared to tell the emperor about this matter, so the queen mother had to come in person.The emperor cared about Yong Cong and did not care about other things. He still did not want to believe the fact that Yong Cong was gone.The Queen Mother advised the Emperor that as the ruler of the world, he should not be overly sad because of the death of a child. After all, there were other children who needed his care.
The queen was also in deep grief at this moment, lying on the bed with a bloodless face.Hengti's entry into the palace brought joy to the Queen Mother. However, the Queen Mother was about to accompany the emperor on an eastward tour, and her concern for Hengti was beyond words.Especially Hengti has reached the age of marriage, and the Queen Mother's sister once married far away, which makes her very reluctant to let go.Therefore, the Queen Mother was determined to arrange Hengti's marriage herself.
Princess Jingse came to visit the Queen and brought some comfort.However, the pain in the Queen's heart was unspeakable.She was heartbroken that she was so incompetent that she couldn't even protect her own child.Jingse tried to cheer up the queen, mentioning that the emperor was busy with his eastern tour and Ruyi's favor.After the queen heard the news that the emperor was about to tour east, she decided to cheer up and let Dr. Qi come for diagnosis and treatment.
The emperor decided to take the queen on an eastward tour, but Qin Tianjian said that the celestial phenomena had been very different recently, indicating that a disaster was coming in the middle palace.The emperor didn't care and ordered Qin Tianjian to go down.The emperor and his entourage went out to patrol the east side of the city, and the queen always accompanied the emperor.However, her health continued to deteriorate, she had trouble sleeping at night and was very weak.It takes two hours to put on makeup every day to cover up the haggard face.
The queen believed that if she did not follow the emperor on his eastward tour, she would be ridiculed by everyone in the world, which would bring disgrace to the Fucha family.Now, she can only hope that the princess will give Jingse Xu a good family and bring prosperity to the Fucha family.The emperor told the queen mother that the Horqin tribe wanted to marry the legitimate princess. Now the only legitimate princesses are the queen mother's daughter Hengti and the queen's daughter Jingse.When the princess marries Horqin, she will be far away from home and will be very miserable.The queen said that Jingse was still young, so it would be better to give Hengti to Horqin.However, the emperor said that the ministers in the court strongly opposed it because the Queen Mother had already married a daughter away from home. If Hengti was to be married away again, the Queen Mother would be overly worried.
The queen was very worried about Jingse's future and tried her best to persuade the emperor to change his mind.However, their conversation was overheard by Mei Bin who came to visit the queen.Mei Bi hurriedly reported to the Queen Mother. After the Queen Mother heard that the Emperor only cared about her own daughter, she was determined to keep her daughter and ordered the ministers in the court to strongly oppose the marriage of Hengti.
Mei Bi heard that the Queen Mother said that the Queen's life depended on medicine, so she told Concubine Jia about this.The emperor was very upset when he saw that the ministers were opposed to Hengti marrying far away.The Queen Mother wanted Yi Huan to speak for her, but Yi Huan saw that the Emperor was troubled and did not persuade him.The Queen Mother was furious, seeing that Yihuan only cared about the emperor, and blamed her for her incompetence.Yi Huan insisted not to do anything for the Queen Mother, who said she was infatuated and had a soft heart, and would suffer big losses sooner or later.
Late at night, the Queen Mother called the Queen and gave the Queen the pearls that the late Emperor had given her when she was made a concubine, as a dowry for Jingse.However, the queen also took out a pair of golden mandarin ducks and gave them to Hengti as a dowry.The Queen Mother and the Queen were at loggerheads, both trying to keep their daughter.The emperor learned that the empress dowager and the empress could not give up. Ruyi suggested that Doctor Qi deliver medicine to the empress so that they could get off the ground. The emperor agreed.
In the Queen Mother's Palace, the Queen Mother mentioned that if Concubine Xian was the direct descendant of Fujin, she would be considerate of her now and the current dispute would not occur.However, the queen said that Concubine Xian had no children. If this happened, Hengti would have to get married.The Queen Mother was furious. At this time, Doctor Qi came to deliver medicine to the Queen, but the Queen Mother left angrily.
Zhang Tingyu asked to see the emperor, saying that it was inappropriate for Hengti to marry into the Horqin tribe. If Hengti was allowed to marry, both tribes in Mongolia would become the son-in-law of the Queen Mother, which would increase the power of the Queen Mother.Ruyi, who was hiding behind the screen, heard all this and couldn't help but feel ripples in her heart.
In this palace full of intrigue and emotion, everyone has their own position and demands.The competition between the Queen Mother and the Queen was not only for their daughter's marriage, but also for their respective status and power in the palace.However, in this contest, they all ignored the most important thing - family love.Perhaps, only when they truly let go of their obsessions can they find true happiness and peace.
