Chapter 854 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 44]
However, Hongli claimed that the ministers in the court were strongly opposed to this matter. It turned out that the empress dowager already had a daughter married far away. If Hengti was married far away at this time, the empress dowager would definitely be hurt by excessive worry. This made the empress dowager, who was already worried about her daughter, even more worried.
At the same time, Fucha Langhuan was also worried about Jingse's situation. She knew that if Hengti married far away, Jingse's position in the palace might be affected. Therefore, Fucha Langhuan was determined to persuade Hongli to change his mind.
When Hongli and Fucha Langhuan were talking privately, no one noticed that Meipin, who came to visit the queen, was approaching quietly. Meipin accidentally heard their conversation and was immediately shocked. She knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to delay for a moment. She hurried to the queen mother's bedroom and reported what she heard and saw to the queen mother.
After hearing this, the Queen Mother was furious. She never expected that Hongli would be so inconsiderate of her feelings and only care about his own daughter. In her anger, the Queen Mother secretly made up her mind to do everything she could to keep her beloved daughter Hengti and never let her marry far away and suffer. For this reason, the Queen Mother immediately ordered the court ministers to be summoned and asked them to do their utmost to oppose Hengti's marriage. For a time, the court was in turmoil, and various forces launched a fierce competition around Hengti's marriage issue.
When Meipin heard what the Queen Mother said, she was shocked to learn that the Queen's life was now completely dependent on drugs. She knew that if such a secret was passed on to Concubine Jia, it would definitely cause a stir. So, when no one was paying attention, Meipin quietly came to Concubine Jia and told her the news in a low voice.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the court was solemn. Hongli sat on the dragon throne, looking at the ministers below with a gloomy face. It turned out that these ministers all expressed strong opposition to Princess Hengti's marriage to a distant place, and their fierce words made Hongli upset. He frowned and tried hard to restrain his anger, but faced with the unanimous advice of the ministers, he felt helpless for a while.
In the harem, the Queen Mother was looking forward to Yihuan speaking up for her. However, when Yihuan saw that the Emperor was so worried about Hengti's marriage, she was so concerned that she had no time to consider the Queen Mother's expectations. She silently accompanied the Emperor, trying to ease his worries with tenderness and care.
The Queen Mother saw that Yi Huan did nothing and could not help but get furious. She angrily accused Yi Huan of being too incompetent for only caring about the Emperor but not being able to solve her own problems. Although Yi Huan felt wronged when she heard the Queen Mother's scolding, she still firmly stated her position, claiming that she would never go against her conscience and do anything that would harm the interests of the Emperor.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother was furious and accused Yi Huan of being so infatuated and soft-hearted. She said that she would suffer a major setback in the future because of her emotional behavior, and might even fall into an irreparable situation. But Yi Huan had made up her mind. No matter how the Queen Mother threatened and lured her, she always adhered to her principles and emotional bottom line.
Late at night, the Queen Mother called Fu Cha Langhuan and gave her the pearl beads that the late emperor had awarded her when she was made a noble concubine, as a dowry for Jingse. However, Fu Cha Langhuan also took out a pair of golden mandarin ducks and gave them to Hengti as a dowry.
The Queen Mother and Fu Cha Lang Huan stood opposite each other, the atmosphere between them was extremely tense, like an arrow on a bowstring ready to be fired. They launched a fierce verbal battle, the words were sharp and pointed, and neither of them was willing to give in, with only one goal - to try their best to keep their daughter.
On the other hand, Hongli soon learned the news that the Queen Mother and Fucha Langhuan were in a stalemate. He frowned slightly, thinking secretly how to resolve the stalemate.
At this moment, Ruyi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and suggested, "Your Majesty, I think we can ask Imperial Doctor Qi to send some medicine to Madam Fucha to take care of her body. This way, we can show that we care about Madam Fucha's health and it can also give both sides a way out and ease the current situation. What do you think?"
After hearing this, Hongli thought for a moment and then nodded, indicating that he agreed with Ruyi's proposal.
At the same time, there was a solemn atmosphere in the Empress Dowager's palace. The Empress Dowager sat on the couch and mentioned the events of the past with a gloomy face. If it was Concubine Xian who became the legitimate wife, then given Concubine Xian's temperament, she would surely understand her feelings as a mother at this moment, and things would not have gotten to the point where they are out of control now.
However, Fu Cha Lang Huan, who was standing at the side, disagreed. She sneered and retorted, "Humph! That Concubine Xian has not given birth to a child yet. If this situation really happens, can we still count on her? In the end, I'm afraid the only way to solve the problem is to let Princess Heng Ti marry far away."
After hearing something, the Queen Mother flew into a rage. Her originally kind face was distorted by anger. At this moment, Doctor Qi came hurriedly with a bowl of steaming hot medicine in his hand. It turned out that he was going to deliver medicine to Fu Cha Lang Huan who was lying on the sickbed. Seeing this, the Queen Mother was even more furious. She threw her sleeves and left angrily.
At the same time, Zhang Tingyu, an important official in the court, came to ask for an audience with Hongli. He worriedly advised Hongli that it was not a wise move for Hengti to marry into the Khorchin tribe. If this arrangement was really made, the two Mongolian tribes would become the empress dowager's sons-in-law. In this way, the empress dowager's power in the court would inevitably become stronger, and might even threaten the stability of the imperial power.
Behind a screen in the palace, Ruyi was hiding quietly, taking all the conversation in. After Zhang Tingyu left, Ruyi slowly walked out from behind the screen.
When Hongli saw Ruyi, he sighed softly and said, "I also know that letting Jingse marry to the Khorchin tribe may be the most appropriate solution, but how can I not take Fucha Langhuan into consideration?"
Ruyi nodded slightly and responded softly, "Your Majesty, the princesses are first and foremost subjects of the imperial family, shouldering the important task of maintaining national stability and consolidating the status of the royal family; secondly, they are the daughters of their parents. I beg Your Majesty to put the overall situation first and marry the person you trust most to the Khorchin tribe."
Hongli was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "This matter is of great importance, I need to consider it carefully again."
The Queen Mother had always hoped that Ruyi would stand up and speak for her, but as a distinguished Queen Mother, she was naturally embarrassed to take the initiative to ask Ruyi for help. However, just when the Queen Mother was worried about this matter, Ruyi took the initiative to come to see the Queen Mother.
Ruyi respectfully greeted the Empress Dowager and said softly, "Your Highness, I know that you have been worried these days. As a junior, I cannot bear to see you in such distress. I have come here to do my best to help you resolve your worries."
The Queen Mother frowned slightly and sighed, "Even the high-ranking ministers of the previous dynasty couldn't persuade the Emperor to change his mind, so what can you do?"
Ruyi smiled slightly and replied firmly, "Empress Dowager, perhaps the court officials didn't really get to the point." Then, she paused for a moment and continued, "I think that the court officials should be ordered to elaborate on the various benefits that can be brought about by marrying Princess Hengti. Moreover, the Empress Dowager should personally express her attitude and express her willingness to marry Hengti off."
Hearing Ruyi's words, the Queen Mother couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "Why is that? In this way, doesn't it mean that everyone knows that I want to marry my daughter off?"
Ruyi explained calmly, "It is precisely because everyone knows about this that we can ensure that Princess Hengti can stay in the palace! Think about it, Empress Dowager, if everyone knows that you intend to marry your daughter off, then the voices of opposition will inevitably decrease. And if we emphasize the benefits of marrying off at the right time, the emperor may reconsider this decision."
