The Emperor and Ruyi are newly married
As night fell, there was silence in the palace.The emperor quietly came to Ruyi's room, gently lifted her hijab, and completed the grand wedding.After everyone left, the emperor and Ruyi sat opposite each other. Although their bodies were exhausted, their hearts were full of satisfaction and peace.The emperor finally said with emotion: “Now, I can truly be at ease.Not only have you become a queen, but more importantly, you can finally be with me for real.”
The emperor was well aware of Ruyi's suffering, and promised not to bully or betray her, and to share life and death with her.Ling Yunche, who was waiting outside the room, looked at the light in the room and couldn't help but feel a burst of envy in his heart.He may have also thought of the emotional entanglement between himself and Yan Wan, but more of it was his blessing to Ruyi.
Yan Wan looked at the grand occasion of the Queen's Standing Ceremony with mixed feelings in her heart.She sighed: "No wonder everyone wants to climb up."“Although she knew that she might not be able to become a queen in this life, if she could become an imperial concubine, she would be satisfied.
Ling Yunche and Zhao Jiuxiao drank together. Zhao Jiuxiao became interested in the maids around Yan Wan, but Ling Yunche reminded him not to miss the people around Yan Wan.Zhao Jiuxiao thought that Ling Yunche was worried that Yan Wan would be left out because the emperor became queen, but Ling Yunche had a more profound insight: sitting on the position of queen does not necessarily mean happiness, and there may be greater problems in the future.pain.”There is a shadow of a person in his heart, he can only look at her from a distance, happy for her, but always worried about her future.
At night, Ruyi dreamed of her aunt, who praised her as worthy of being the daughter of Ulanara.The next day, all the concubines came to pay their respects to the queen. Concubine Chun mentioned that the concubines were dressed beautifully today.Concubine Jia proudly expressed that the emperor liked her to wear red, while Ruyi magnanimously expressed that she and the emperor were one and the same. Concubine Jia missed the emperor and she also missed herself.However, Princess Jia was not satisfied with this. She mentioned that although Ruyi was the new queen, she still lived in the old palace, implying that Ruyi's status was unstable.Hailan reminded Jiabi that the queen will always be the queen, and no matter where she lives, she will be the master of the Sixth Palace.Not to be outdone, Jiabi mocked Ruyi by talking about filling houses among the people.However, Ruyi didn't care, and instead ordered the reinstatement of Jia's concubine as a noble concubine, which showed her tolerance and generosity.
In the gift of earrings, Concubine Chun received agate pearl earrings, while Concubine Jia received carnelian earrings.Concubine Chun was grateful and put it on immediately; Concubine Jia thought it was Ruyi deliberately humiliating herself and argued angrily with Ruyi.However, Ruyi said that she thought that everyone in the palace knew the difference between carnelian and agate, but she did not expect that Concubine Jia was so ignorant and regarded her as a tool to achieve success in one step.She took this opportunity to ridicule Concubine Jia for her plot to harm her, and ordered Rong Pei to put on the earrings for Concubine Jia herself, which caused Concubine Jia to be in great pain.Concubine Jia shed tears in front of everyone, but she could only swallow her anger.
Back in the palace, Concubine Jia felt that she couldn't swallow this breath and wanted to complain to the emperor.However, in Yikun Palace, both Lingxin and Hailan said that Ruyi's move was a combination of kindness and power. As a queen, it is natural for her to teach her concubines. Even if Concubine Jia complained to the emperor, nothing would happen.Ruyi came to Yangxin Hall. The emperor had already learned about Concubine Jia and expressed his support for Ruyi to suppress her.Ruyi said that she wanted to use this to suppress the custom of relying on her mother's clan in the palace. The emperor agreed very much and said that he had punished Concubine Jia to shut up and think about her mistakes.
The emperor thought carefully for Ruyi and abolished the Cold Palace and let the former emperor's concubines there go to the Rehe Palace to retire in their old age.From today on, the husband and wife in the palace are of one mind and there will never be a break in love.The emperor prepared a gift for Ruyi - a painting made by Lang Shining for the two of them, and planned to take her to Mount Wutai to burn incense to comfort her ancestors.Ruyi was very happy and felt the emperor's deep affection.
On the grassland, the emperor took Ruyi on a horseback ride, and the two of them promised to enjoy it until they grow old.However, Concubine Jia was punished every day in Fengxian Hall. She looked at the portraits of her ancestors and determined to make her son the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty.At the same time, Ruyi's mother-in-law came to the palace to visit her daughter. The mother and daughter met very affectionately.In the palace, love, power, and desire are intertwined, and everyone is looking for their place in this game.The story of Ruyi and the emperor also slowly unfolded in this complicated palace life.
