The deep palace is always filled with countless secrets and conspiracies.All the concubines left the house one after another, and Qingying was embroidering alone in her room. Her heart was full of expectation and uneasiness.At this time, Hailan came to visit and brought shocking news - the Queen Mother had not yet moved to Cining Palace.Qingying knew that this matter was not trivial. It undoubtedly planted the seeds of discord between the emperor and the queen mother, and the relationship between mother and son became tense.
Hailan is well aware that things in the palace are complicated, and reminds Qingying that she should plan for herself first and not get involved easily.However, Qingying's heart was filled with worries about the Queen Mother.She understood that as a concubine, her fate was closely related to that of the Queen Mother.So, she decided to look for opportunities to advise the Queen Mother, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding between the Emperor and the Queen Mother.
The queen took the opportunity to ask the emperor to decide on the titles of the concubines, but the emperor postponed the canonization because there were not enough people.The queen knew full well that the emperor's move was nothing more than stalling for time, waiting for a better time.And Qingying also understood that her grounding was a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he needed time to deal with it all.
The renovation work of Cining Palace has been completed, but the emperor refused to let the Queen Mother move because she was not satisfied yet.His longing for Qingying deepened day by day, but he couldn't see her due to various reasons.So, he gave Qingying the wishful knot and music score in his dormitory to express his longing for her.Qingying gave the handkerchief she embroidered as a return gift, hoping to make the emperor understand her feelings.
In order to meet the emperor, Qingying came up with a way. She invited Hai Changzai.Hai Changzai entered the dormitory in the name of asking for peace and took the opportunity to change Qingying out.Qingying met the emperor quietly. She understood the emperor's difficulties, but she still couldn't help but remind him that filial piety comes first. Even if she is busy with government affairs, she should not forget the Queen Mother in Shoukang Palace.The emperor was moved by Qingying's sincerity and decided to put aside his grudge and obey the Queen Mother to fulfill his filial piety.
When the Queen Mother was happy, the Emperor interceded for Qingying and allowed her to enter the palace.He took the Queen Mother to visit Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother was very satisfied with the results of the renovation.The Queen Mother reminded the Emperor to reuse old ministers, and the Emperor agreed and promised to improve the Queen Mother's clan relations.In addition, the emperor also decided to add an emblem to the Queen Mother, which was designated as “Chongqing”.
The Queen Mother was very moved when she learned that Qingying had advised her.She ordered Qingying to be exempted from the grounding and allowed her to return to the palace.Qingying begged the Queen Mother to give herself a new name so that she could cut off her old past and pray for new blessings.The Queen Mother gave Qingying the name Ruyi, “yi” means beautiful and quiet, which means she hopes that Ruyi can have a peaceful and beautiful future.
Gao Xiyue and Jin Yuyan were very unhappy when they learned that Ruyi had been pardoned.They discussed the matter with the queen and believed that Hai Changzai was the culprit.In order to be wary of Hai Changzai, Gao Xiyue offered to let her live with him.When the emperor and the queen discussed the enfeoffment of concubines, the emperor wanted to make Ruyi a noble concubine, but the queen thought that Ruyi had just been released from confinement and should keep a low profile, so she suggested that she be made a concubine or concubine first.The emperor finally agreed to make Ruyi his concubine and move into Yikun Palace.Under the queen's dissuasion, the emperor agreed to let Ruyi live in the more remote Yanxi Palace.In the end, Ruyi was named Concubine Xian, Gao was named Concubine Hui, and the whole family raised the flag.After Ruyi moved into Yanxi Palace, she started her new life.
However, life in the palace is not as simple as Ruyi imagined.Hailan and Concubine Hui lived in the same palace. Concubine Hui deliberately made things difficult for her, ignoring Hailan even as she knelt down, and even assigned her a dark and shabby room to the west.When Hailan came to visit Ruyi, Ruyi learned that she had been wronged in Xianfu Palace and told her to take good care of herself.When paying her respects to the Queen the next day, Ruyi asked Hailan to live with her, but the Queen refused her request on the grounds that she could see the emperor often.
Although Ruyi encountered various difficulties in the palace, she did not give up.She understands that only by persevering can she win the final victory.And her story continues...
