Chapter 855 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 45]
After careful consideration, the Queen Mother finally understood the real intention behind Ruyi's move. It turned out that Ruyi wanted to put great pressure on Fucha Langhuan by letting the Fucha family clearly understand the various benefits of marrying their daughters off. After all, Fucha Langhuan has always put the interests of the entire family first. Faced with such a situation, she probably has no choice but to obey.
The Queen Mother could not help but praise Ruyi's wisdom and repeatedly praised her intelligence. However, Ruyi responded modestly that she did this just to help the emperor solve his problems. Although Ruyi said it lightly, the Queen Mother's eyes, which had experienced the world, had already seen through everything - Ruyi still hated the Queen in her heart!
At the same time, Hongli had already made up his mind to let his beloved daughter Jingse marry far away. For this reason, he specifically ordered Ruyi and Concubine Chun to persuade the princess to accept this marriage. After receiving the order, Ruyi did not rush to act, but made a decision after careful consideration: she planned to go to see Fucha Langhuan in person first.
When Fucha Langhuan heard that her brother Fuheng was also chasing power and wanted to help Jingse get married, she felt mixed emotions. She painfully realized that neither she nor her daughter could escape the fate of becoming a victim of the Fucha family's interests. Thinking of this, Fucha Langhuan couldn't help but feel sad and full of emotion...
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and Ruyi slowly walked into the palace. Her graceful figure was particularly eye-catching in the interweaving of light and shadow.
Ruyi walked up to Fucha Langhuan, bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, I am here to see you."
Fucha Langhuan raised his head, looked at Ruyi calmly, and replied calmly: "Get up. I wonder why Concubine Xian came here today?"
Ruyi took a deep breath and said softly, "Your Majesty, I just received news that the Emperor has decided to marry the princess off to a distant place."
Upon hearing the news, Fucha Langhuan's expression remained unchanged. She took a sip from her teacup and then said slowly, "As a legitimate princess, Jingse should naturally focus on state affairs. This is also her responsibility as a child of the royal family."
Ruyi frowned slightly, with a trace of sadness and helplessness in her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty is right, but I have no children so far, so I really can't understand your feelings at the moment. I don't want to be forced to do things that go against my heart like your Majesty. When I think of the pain of separation from my children in the future, I can't help crying. But even so, I can still face everything with tears and smiles."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fucha Langhuan slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! Ruyi, I tolerate you so much because you were quite obedient in the past. But now you dare to say such treasonous words in front of me! Get out of here now!"
Ruyi and Concubine Chun walked lightly to the princess's residence. The princess was sitting on the couch, looking at the two people who walked in with a somewhat unhappy expression.
Concubine Chun was the first to speak: "Princess, today we have come to talk to you about your marriage."
However, the princess responded stubbornly, "I won't marry! Even if I really want to marry, the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother should come and tell me personally. How can I allow you two to interfere?"
Concubine Chun hurriedly explained, "Princess, calm down! The Queen has been weak recently and it is difficult for her to come in person; and the Queen Mother is old and has difficulty moving. That's why the Emperor sent the two of us to discuss this matter with the Princess. Moreover, the Emperor loves the Princess very much. This time, he betrothed the Princess to the Mongolian tribe because he saw their strength and status and hoped to find a good marriage for the Princess."
Hearing this, Princess Jingse became even more arrogant. She widened her eyes and shouted at Concubine Chun: "Humph! In that case, why not let your daughter get married!"
At this time, Ruyi, who had been silent all this time, slowly spoke up and said, "Princess, don't worry. Listen to me. The marriage between Manchus and Mongols is an old practice left by our ancestors and has been passed down from generation to generation. If the Queen wants to consolidate her position as the head of the harem, she must have a strong backer to support her. The Khorchin tribe is powerful and well-known, so marrying them is the best choice. I hope the princess can understand the Queen's painstaking efforts and obey the emperor's order."
Jingse was dressed in gorgeous clothes, kneeling on the ground with a solemn expression, respectfully facing Fucha Langhuan who was sitting above. Fucha Langhuan's face was serious at this time. She looked at her beloved daughter kneeling in front of her. Although she was reluctant, she still hardened her heart and slowly said: "Se'er, the emperor has made up his mind this time. I'm afraid there is no room for turning back. The Khorchin tribe is the most important in-law of our Qing Dynasty. This marriage is related to the harmony between the court and the Mongolian tribes, which is of vital importance. And the one we are going to marry must be the closest person."
Fucha Langhuan paused and continued, "Se'er, your marriage to a distant place is a great thing for the Empress Dowager and the entire Fucha clan. Such an opportunity must not fall into the hands of the empress dowager's daughter. As long as you marry into the Khorchin tribe, you can consolidate our family's position in the court. This is also your responsibility as a princess of the Qing Dynasty and a member of the Fucha clan."
Jingse listened to her mother's words quietly, her eyes gradually turning red. She knew that she had a great mission to shoulder, and although she was filled with fear and anxiety, she still nodded firmly and said softly: "The Queen Mother is right. As a princess of the Qing Dynasty and a descendant of the Fucha family, I should put the overall situation first. I am willing to follow your arrangements and marry far away." After that, Jingse held back her tears and bowed deeply to Fucha Langhuan.
The mother and daughter looked at each other, both of them were reluctant to part. However, the emperor's order was hard to disobey, and Jingse finally got up and slowly left. Looking at his daughter's back getting farther and farther away, Fu Cha Langhuan felt like a knife was cutting his heart, and he seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the table.
After Jingse left, Fucha Langhuan couldn't help but recall the scene when Jingse was born. At that time, Hongli was a new father and was full of joy. He treated this only princess as a treasure, holding her in his hands for fear of dropping her and holding her in his mouth for fear of melting her. But who would have thought that time flies by, and the once beloved little princess now has to face the fate of marrying far away.
At the same time, Ruyi learned that Jingse was going to marry far away, and she felt pity for her. So she said to Hongli: "Your Majesty, I think it would be better to set up a mansion for the princess in the palace. In this way, even if the princess gets married, she and her husband can often return to the palace to visit their parents and relieve their homesickness."
When Hongli heard this, he nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "Well, my beloved concubine, this is a very good idea. I will follow your advice."
