The mental state is beautiful

Chapter 157 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace Yixiu 7

As time went by, the Queen and her son became less and less favored by Hongli.

The concubines who liked to stir up trouble had long been controlled by Yixiu. There were no disputes in the harem, and the queen's role was not very significant.

Without the empress dowager's recommendation, Lu Muping married and had children outside the palace, and Yehenara Yihuan wanted to enter the palace through the selection, but was naturally stopped by Yixiu.

Yihuan thought that the emperor disliked her, so she left the palace sadly and got married under the arrangement of her family.

Yixiu sighed that these young girls were so easily deceived by Hongli's appearance, or they had seen too few men.

But there is no way around it. In this era, there are still many blind marriages, and it all depends on luck.

Soon, several Mongolian concubines entered the palace one after another, including Concubine Ke, Concubine Ying and Concubine Yu.

Yixiu had seen them all. The first two looked like pretty girls from a small family, and their temperament was more like that of a Jiangnan woman.

Concubine Yu was a complete freak. She dressed extravagantly despite her age and walked in a crooked manner, which was really unbearable to look at.

It is obvious that the other two Mongolian concubines also kept their distance from Concubine Yu, thinking that she brought shame to Mongolia.

Yixiu knew that Concubine Ke and Concubine Ying had a good relationship with Qingying, so she didn't make things difficult for them.

As for Concubine Yu, she is a good tool to destroy Hongli's vitality.

Every time Yupin lit up the love incense and had sex with Hongli, Yixiu would mix some poison in it.

Anyway, when it is discovered later, it will be Concubine Yu's fault.

A year later, Hongli led everyone on a southern tour, and Yixiu stayed in the capital on the pretext of poor health.

During this southern tour, Jingse, the only legitimate princess, will definitely be betrothed to Junggar.

The princesses lived a life of luxury since childhood, but when they reached marriageable age, most of them could not escape the fate of marrying off to other countries.

Everything happened as Yixiu had expected. This time there was no Queen Mother's daughter, only a legitimate princess, Jingse.

Jingse has always been proud of her identity as a legitimate princess, but now this identity has become a shackle.

Afterwards, everything went on the southern tour as usual, with the special thing being that the Han tribe presented Princess Han Xiangjian.

With Qingying transformed by the beauty pill, Han Xiangjian's beauty is not so shocking anymore.

"Empress Dowager, the medicine has been prepared." The speaker was Wei Yanwan, Yixiu's personal maid.

Yixiu admired Wei Yanwan's spirit of not believing in fate and not admitting defeat. In addition, Wei Yanwan and the young Qingying were indeed somewhat similar. When Yixiu looked at her, it was as if he was looking at Qingying, who refused to accept her fate just like himself.

After spending a long time together, Yixiu discovered that Wei Yanwan's hard work and progress would not stop just because her life got better.

Yixiu was very satisfied. This is how people should move forward.

It’s just that Wei Yanwan’s feelings for Ling Yunche are too deep, and she’s afraid that she will get hurt in the future.

Now Wei Yanwan has become Huichun's apprentice, and Huichun praises her highly.

After staying with her for a few years, Wei Yanwan suddenly decided to leave the palace and get married, which puzzled Yixiu.

She checked Wei Yanwan's memory and realized that Wei Yanwan could not escape the oppression of her mother and brother, and she naively thought that if she married Ling Yunche, Ling Yunche would protect her?

"Yan Wan, you must think carefully. Once you leave the palace this time, you will never come back."

"Your Highness, I have made up my mind. I beg Your Highness to grant my wish."

Yixiu knew that this comfortable life had prevented Wei Yanwan from seeing the evil of human nature, so she still had illusions.

In the original plot, Wei Yanwan was able to succeed because she was determined to fight to the death in a desperate situation.

Different circumstances create different lives. Yixiu did not force it. After giving Wei Yanwan a dowry, she arranged a marriage for her and Ling Yunche, and then she no longer cared about it.

After all, Ling Yunche married Wei Yanwan in the hope of using Wei Yanwan's reputation in front of Yixiu to get himself a good job.

But Yixiu didn't care about all this. As for whether Ling Yunche would regret marrying Wei Yanwan, it had nothing to do with Yixiu.

"Wei Yanwan is still too young and doesn't understand human nature." Huichun sighed.

"It's rare that you have a good disciple, but it's a pity that she is not interested in this." Yixiu looked at Huichun.

Huichun smiled slightly, "Xiuxia chose the wrong person and wasted her life. I just feel sorry for her."

"Whether it's a woman from a noble family, or a maid or a head aunt in the palace, if they marry the wrong person, they will regret it for the rest of their lives. But what can they do?"

"Empress Dowager, Jianqiu and I stayed here for this reason. Xiuxia married the wrong man and wasted her life. Randong died during childbirth, and her husband remarried after only two months." Huichun shed tears as she spoke.

Yixiu also seemed to have returned to the original owner's youth, when she first entered the palace with her maids and was full of yearning for love.

Because she mistook that short-lived happiness for permanent one, she struggled in pain in the palace for her entire life.

Although she knew that her husband was also an accomplice in the death of the child, the original owner Yixiu couldn't hate him.

The brief happiness during the honeymoon was the sweetest time in Yixiu's painful life since childhood.

Later, the more painful I felt, the more I couldn't bear to give up that only warmth. I had to hold on to it tightly in order to breathe.

At that time, it was these maids who accompanied her through the joy of her wedding, the difficulties of pregnancy, the pain of double betrayal by her sister and husband, and the hatred of losing her son.

Later, when she finally became the legitimate wife, she was anxious to find a way out for these maids. As a result, the two who were married off did not have a good ending.

Jianqiu, who stayed by his side, died in order to avenge him, and now only Huichun is left.

"It's getting late. I should go to bed."

Huichun knew that Yixiu was tired, so she helped her lie down, then quietly left the room.

Jingse's wedding was grand and spectacular. After all, she was a legitimate princess, so it wouldn't be excessive for the ceremony to be grand.

After Jingse left, Fucha Langya's health worsened, her face turned dark yellow and she had to put on powder to cover it up.

Because Qingying was injured by the imperial physician during childbirth, she now treasures her only child, Yongji.

It had been two or three years since Concubine Hui passed away. After some thought, Hongli decided to promote Su Lujun, who gave birth to two sons, to Concubine Chun, which made Fucha Chu Ying very angry.

Fu Cha Chu Ying knew that Hongli suppressed Fu Cha's position because she already had a queen.

However, Fucha Chuying did not hate Hongli or the Fucha clan, he only blamed the existence of the queen.

"Hmph, another fool who is confused while awake!" Yixiu sneered.

"She doesn't dare to hate the emperor, and she can't afford to offend the family. All her malice is directed at the empress who is now on the decline. This is indeed the simplest approach."

"We are all just pawns. We are all the same. If we don't want to be abandoned, we can only fight endlessly."

Huichun offered a cup of Rainforest Longjing tea, "Empress Dowager, this is the tea you loved to drink in the past."

Yixiu was silent. The original owner had heard Da Pangju and Zhen Huan discussing this Rain-Predating Longjing, so she secretly followed Da Pangju's preferences and liked drinking this tea very much.

Yixiu took a sip and said, "Things have changed, people have changed. The tea is good, but it's a pity that my mood has changed."

"Now that the Queen Mother is the chess player, there is no need to worry."

Yixiu raised her hand to signal Huichun to shut up.

"There is no real chess player. In the game, the chess player is also a chess piece. The late emperor and my aunt are biological mother and son, but they still suspect and test each other and act cautiously with each other!"

"I am now barely surviving, relying on this broken body to enjoy my old age."

"Without any biological offspring, the family has only made progress thanks to my advice and suggestions. I have always been the one who contributed all my life. When have I ever been firmly chosen and well protected by others or my family?"

"Even my aunt, who once tried to protect my family from being deposed, did so for the common interests of the Uya clan and the Ulanara clan."

"That dance by the Taiye Lake won the heart of the late emperor. The gorgeous imperial concubine's dress was clearly arranged by my aunt."

"For the sake of the family's interests, he abandoned me. Later, because of the family's interests, he had to protect me."

"As a chess piece, you have no choice. In order to survive, you must make yourself valuable and irreplaceable."

"In fact, if Qingluo was older, for the sake of the family, I would prefer her to enter the palace. But it's okay now. Qingluo is happier outside the palace than inside."

Yixiu plays chess alone, playing against herself, and now she is just waiting for Yongqi to grow up.

Time flies, and Yupin's actions are finally discovered by the Queen. As the Queen, she has the responsibility and obligation to advise the Emperor.

This time, Hongli, who was already very impatient with Fucha Langya, took the opportunity to get angry and slapped her.

Hongli also punished Yonglian because of the poor education provided by his mother, Fucha Langhuan.

Yonglian had just gotten married the previous year and had been in government for less than a year, but Hongli could no longer tolerate him.

The eldest prince Yonghuang is now highly valued by Hongli. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the emperor wants to challenge the two princes with Fucha blood to a competition.

No matter who wins or loses, Fucha will suffer losses.

"Oh no! How come it's a tie? If there's no winner, then everyone is a loser!"

Yixiu messed up the chessboard and felt very bored, so she asked Huichun to put it away.

"Your Majesty the Queen Mother plays this game of chess in an interesting way. Isn't it you who decides the winner and the loser?" Huichun joked with a smile.

"That's natural. Whoever controls the chess game decides the outcome! Unless the chess pieces have their own thoughts and are no longer controlled by the chess player."

Yixiu drank a bowl of milk tea. Ever since the Mongolian concubine entered the palace, Yixiu had enjoyed barbecue and milk tea a lot.

"Empress Dowager, I heard that the Emperor plans to build a princess's residence for Princess Jingse in the capital, and will allow Princess Jingse to come back and live there for a period of time every year."

"Humph, it's just a sweet date for a slap in the face to Fu Cha. Besides, a grown-up son needs to be guarded against, but a daughter who married far away deserves pity."

"I heard that after Princess Jingse married to Junggar, she took good care of other Qing princesses who had married there earlier."

"This is natural. Not to mention for the sake of a good reputation and to unite the forces that can be united, Jingse cannot just turn a blind eye to the fact that those princesses are Jingse's elders."

"These princesses still have their biological mothers' families in the capital. Although they are out of reach, these families now have a good impression of the queen and the Fucha clan because of Jingse."

"Jingse is worthy of the status of a legitimate princess."

"The Emperor will also be proud of his daughter Jingse, but one thing is for another, the Emperor will not show mercy to the Queen and Yonglian because of this."

Another year passed, and Yingpin gave birth to a princess. The child was named Jingyan, and Yingpin was promoted to Yingfei.

As for the once very favored Concubine Yu, she was demoted to Concubine Yu by Hongli and was placed under house arrest indefinitely because she peeked at Hongli's memorials and secretly passed messages to her father and brother.

In fact, there is another reason that Hongli was too embarrassed to mention.

That was the warm fragrance that Concubine Yu gave to Hongli. After treatment by the imperial physician, it was found that Hongli's lifespan was shortened.

If it weren't for the Mongolian reputation, Hongli would have wanted to kill Yu Changzai directly.

Yixiu laughed secretly. This time, Yu Changzai really took the blame for Yixiu.

Yixiu calculated that it would only take another ten years for Yongqi to grow up.

So Hongli only needed to live about another ten years.
