Ruyi proposes a plan to retain Hengti
Deep in the splendid palace, the emperor's decisions always affect the fate of countless people.When the emperor revealed to Ruyi that he knew that it would be a more appropriate choice for Princess Jingse to marry far away to Mongolia, but he had to care about the queen's feelings, a battle about power, family and emotion quietly unfolded.
Ruyi, as a wise and profound concubine in the palace, understood the emperor's difficulties and even more understood the queen's reluctance.She proposed that a princess should first be a subject of the emperor's family, and then the daughter of her parents.She hoped that the emperor would consider the overall situation and choose the person he trusted most for marriage.Although the emperor said that he still needed to consider it, he had already made up his mind.
At the same time, the Queen Mother was also observing all this secretly.She hopes that Ruyi can speak for her, but she doesn't want to take the initiative to go to Ruyi.When Ruyi took the initiative to visit, the Queen Mother frankly expressed her dilemma: even the previous ministers could not persuade the emperor to change his mind.Ruyi believed that the courtiers had not identified the key points of persuasion.
Ruyi suggested to the Queen Mother that the courtiers should explain the benefits of marrying Princess Hengti, and that the Queen Mother herself should also make it clear that she was willing to marry Hengti.She explained that this was done to make the Fucha family understand the benefits of marrying a daughter, thereby putting pressure on the queen.As the representative of the interests of the whole family, the queen had to comply with this decision.The Queen Mother expressed her appreciation for Ruyi's intelligence, but she also saw that she still held a grudge against the Queen.
The emperor's decision was finally settled, and he decided to let Princess Jingse marry far away to Mongolia.In order to appease the princess and queen, he asked Ruyi and Concubine Chun to go together to persuade them.Ruyi first went to see the queen. She knew well the helplessness and struggle in the queen's heart.The queen understood that for the benefit of the Fucha family, she and her daughter had to make sacrifices.
When Ruyi and Concubine Chun met the princess, the princess's arrogance and unyieldingness were fully demonstrated.She resolutely refused to marry far away, and even sneered at Ruyi and Concubine Chun.Ruyi patiently told the princess that the marriage between Manchu and Mongolia was a tradition left by her ancestors. In order to stabilize the palace, the queen needed a strong backer like Horqin.As the beloved daughter of heaven, the princess must do her best for the Qing Dynasty.
Finally, under the Queen's persuasion, the princess tearfully agreed to marry far away.Although the queen was extremely heartbroken, she also understood that this was for the benefit of the family and the country.After the princess left, the emperor recalled the scene of her birth, and his heart was full of reluctance.He decided to set up a princess palace in the palace so that the princess and her husband could often visit her.
The Queen Mother was very satisfied with the emperor's decision. She took a fancy to Hengti and decided to marry her to the minister Zongzheng.On the way back to the palace, the emperor and the queen were walking together, but they found Ruyi to enjoy the moon together.When the queen saw this scene, she was very unhappy, thinking that Ruyi was showing off in front of her.
However, a trick of fate came inadvertently.The queen lost her footing and fell into the water while admiring the moon, but was saved by Ling Yunche.But after the queen was rescued, she became delirious and kept talking about retaliation.The imperial doctor came to report that the queen had reached the end of her life.
In the palace, the battle between power and family affection never stops.Although the emperor's decision was for the benefit of the country, it inevitably hurt the people he loved.Although Ruyi's wisdom and courage temporarily alleviated the crisis in the royal family, it also planted new hidden dangers.In this seemingly peaceful palace dispute, everyone's fate is closely affected.
