Chapter 199 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Bai Ruiji 26
The Prince of Balin presented his only daughter, Balin Meiruo, to the palace as a concubine. The Emperor promoted her to the rank of Consort and bestowed upon her the title of Ying.
Although she is still in the Yuanmingyuan, Bai Ruiji wrote a letter back to the palace, asking the Imperial Household Department to prepare the main hall of Jingren Palace in preparation for Consort Ying's move-in.
As soon as Consort Ying entered the Yuanmingyuan, she joined forces with Consort Ke. Both of them came from Mongolia and had a lot in common, so they hit it off immediately.
In the twentieth year, the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon the Fourth Prince, a woman of the Irgen Gioro clan, and conferred upon the Fourth Prince the title of Prince Chen, the First Prince the title of Prince Ding, and the Third Prince the title of Prince Xun.
Jingying was originally titled Princess Heshuo Heshu. After Bai Ruiji became empress, Jingying was promoted to Princess Gulun Heshu.
Although Jingfu was young, she was still Princess Gulun Hezhao.
Jingying was betrothed to Fucha Fuling'an, the eldest son of Fucha Fuheng. According to history, Fuling'an would die in the thirty-second year, but with Bai Ruiji around, both of them would live to be a hundred years old.
Consort Ling and Consort Ying became pregnant one after the other. Consort Ling gave birth to the eleventh prince, Yongyan, while Consort Ying gave birth to the ninth princess, Jingwen, and was promoted to Consort Ying.
Two years later, Consort Ying gave birth to the tenth princess, Jinghua, and Consort Ling gave birth to the twelfth prince, Yong.
Afterwards, Consort Jia became pregnant again, but suffered another miscarriage.
"Did His Majesty reprimand Yongxi again today?" Bai Ruiji's face was cold.
After Yongxi started attending court, the emperor was initially quite good at teaching him step by step. However, the child, nurtured by spiritual energy, was so intelligent that within a year, he had won the admiration and respect of countless officials.
Since the Emperor was strong and healthy, he began to be wary of Yongxi, and she no longer set foot in Yongshou Palace except on the first and fifteenth of each month.
"Yes." Su Yun also had a stern face. She and Mo Hua did not want to go out and marry and suffer, so they stayed in Yongshou Palace.
They watched Bai Ruiji's children grow up from a young age.
To put it bluntly, the two of them treated the princes and princesses as if they were their own children.
Prince Chen has done nothing wrong, yet the Emperor nitpicks at him, suppressing and reprimanding him.
The two of them practically wished the Emperor would die immediately and abdicate in favor of Prince Chen, so that Prince Chen would be spared from being scolded.
"I understand."
Bai Ruiji sneered, her eyes flashing with sharpness. "Your Majesty, it's time to give way to my son."
Qixiang Palace —
"My lady!" Zhenshu hurriedly ran into the main hall, dismissed everyone, and handed a letter to Consort Jia.
Consort Jia, who was in the middle of her period, had a bad feeling. She took the letter and her eyes filled with tears.
"The prince is gone, and so are my father and mother! How dare he! I am the Consort Jia of the Great Qing!"
The "he" that Consort Jia refers to is the current Prince Yu. The "prince" naturally refers to Consort Jia's beloved, and they do not acknowledge the current Prince Yu.
Zhenshu: "My lady, the prince was mainly killed by the late princess's family. Your family members died of illness, so on the surface it has nothing to do with him."
"Yes, it has nothing to do with him. So even if I am Consort Jia, without evidence that the Emperor won't do anything to him, what use is my status as Consort Jia!"
"Why is my womb so uncooperative? I couldn't keep a single child!" Consort Jia cried out in a low voice, frantically patting her belly.
"My lady," Zhenshu said, embracing Consort Jia. "I've heard some news: those who are not of our kind are sure to have different hearts. People of different bloodlines cannot ascend the throne. It may not be because of your body."
"You mean..." Consort Jia stopped what she was doing, lost in thought. If it wasn't a problem with her body, then it could only be something done by someone.
