Han Ruyi stood up, still lowering her head, and whispered, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. Ruyi, I don't deserve them. Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."
She knew Xie Wanyun must have something to ask her, and she was filled with doubts. Her father had committed such a crime against the Xie family, so she didn't dare to harbor any illusions.
I have to thank Xie Wanyun for his broad-mindedness to be able to live and die peacefully in this palace.
"You know, our dynasty has signed a ceasefire agreement with Mobei. One of the conditions is a marriage alliance. Our dynasty will marry a princess to Mobei's Sixth Prince, Suha."
Han Ruyi heard every word clearly, and then she began to understand that the court wanted to marry the princess off as a political marriage.
So what was the point of telling her this? Did the Queen want to make her a dowry maid and send her to Mobei?
There was no need to specially call her over, just arrange it directly. She was just a slave, could she still resist?
"Your Majesty, does that mean that I should be given as a dowry?" Han Ruyi was also a straightforward person, so she asked directly.
Xie Wanyun raised her hand and cut off a crabapple branch, and inserted it directly into her bun, nodding, "The crabapple flower is beautiful and it suits you very well."
Han Ruyi was baffled and couldn't help but reach out and touch the flowers. Her features were bright and elegant, and although she didn't wear any makeup, she was still dignified and beautiful.
"Yeah, that's what she looks like. She's more beautiful than flowers." Xie Wanyun nodded in praise.
"I'm not asking you to bring a dowry, I'm asking you to - get married. Are you willing?"
Han Ruyi thought she had heard it wrong!
She frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, you are not kidding me, are you? The court wants to marry the princess, how dare I..."
"Marrying someone for a foreign marriage is a great achievement for the country. You can immediately get rid of your status as a criminal slave and be given the title of princess. Are you willing?"
Xie Wanyun said calmly.
Han Ruyi was breathless. She was willing! Even if it meant going to the ends of the earth, it was better than wasting her life in the laundry department!
Her voice trembled, "My Lady, are you serious? Why, why did you choose me?"
"Because you are suitable. Since you are willing, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to arrange the enthronement ceremony. But you have to think clearly. If you go to Mobei, you may never be able to return to the Central Plains in this lifetime." Seeing that her face was flushed with excitement and her whole body was trembling, Xie Wanyun knew that she had agreed.
Han Ruyi knelt down with a plop and kowtowed solemnly. "Han Ruyi thanks the Queen for her great kindness! I do!"
"Don't you even ask who you are going to marry?" Xie Wanyun was also a little surprised. She was so eager to leave?
"Didn't Her Majesty just say it was the Sixth Prince of Mobei? Why should I worry? Besides, I'm marrying for a peaceful alliance, not to marry someone else. My father committed such a serious crime, and now I have the opportunity to atone for his sins. I couldn't ask for more. Not to mention marrying a prince, I'd even marry the aged king!"
Han Ruyi almost shouted these words, her eyes shining with excitement.
Xie Wanyun's smile widened.
"I knew I wouldn't be wrong about you. Han Ruyi, you must remember what you said today. Even when you arrive in Mobei, you must not forget your motherland. You must remember your mission of marriage, to promote diplomatic relations between the two countries and maintain peace."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Ruyi will definitely keep your teachings in mind." Han Ruyi still felt a little dizzy and wondered if she was dreaming.
Suddenly, she smiled again and said to Xie Wanyun, "My Lady, do you know that my father took my horoscope to someone for a reading? The fortune teller said that I had a noble destiny and would marry a wealthy man. At that time, I thought... I thought..."
"I thought I was going to marry the emperor." Xie Wanyun said with a smile.
Han Ruyi blushed, lowered her head, and remained silent. The Sixth Prince was also a noble son-in-law. Her fortune was indeed accurate. It was just too unexpected.
Soon, Han Ruyi was canonized as Princess Hejing and officially married into Mobei.
He set out on his journey with a large number of craftsmen, slaves, and merchants.
It was a beautiful spring day and the emperor and empress were walking in the garden.
Renzong said, "Mingmie, the world is at peace now. I promised you that I would accompany you on a trip to the south of the Yangtze River. Why don't we go now?"
Two red clouds suddenly appeared on Queen Xie Wanyun's face, but she shook her head.
"Why? Haven't you always wanted to go?" Renzong was very surprised.
Xie Wanyun grabbed his hand and gently placed it on her lower abdomen, with a smile in her eyes.
Renzong widened his eyes!
"Mianmei, are you saying... you're pregnant?"
Xie Wanyun nodded with a smile.
"How long has it been? Why didn't you tell me?" Renzong was surprised and happy, and took her into his arms.
"Your Majesty, please be gentle. I just confirmed this." Xie Wanyun said angrily.
"Hahaha!"
Emperor Renzong laughed loudly, and his laughter startled the birds in the garden, and the birds flapped their wings and flew high.
