Chapter 281: The Goddess of Childbirth: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace (2)

Three days passed quickly, and Shiyi brought A Ruo into the palace to participate in the ceremony of the Fourth Prince selecting a wife. For Shiyi, the so-called reincarnation of Guanyin, the emperor and empress personally came to the Jiangxuexuan, which made Hongli even more nervous.

Fu Cha Langhuan stood in the crowd of beauties waiting to be selected. The dream she had a few days ago made her certain that she would become the Fourth Prince's woman. The only thing she didn't know was what position Qingying, the reincarnation of Guanyin, would hold.

Privately, Fu Cha didn't want her to become his wife, but she had no say in the matter. Then she thought of her status and was afraid that even if she became his wife, it would only be a title and she would not be favored and would not have children. If that was the case, it would be great for her to be his wife.

When Fu Cha Langhuan was in a complicated mood, Gao Xiyue approached her. Gao Xiyue knew from the beginning that Fu Cha Langhuan was the designated Fourth Lady, and came over specially to make friends with her.

"Sister Fucha, the Empress and the Emperor are here. I don't know why it's so grand today." Gao Xiyue wanted to make friends with Fucha Langhuan, and also to get information.

Fu Cha Langhuan guessed that she came for Qingying, but she couldn't tell anyone about the dream that night, not even her father and mother. Facing Gao Xiyue's inquiry, she could only give a perfunctory answer.

"Maybe the Emperor values ​​the Fourth Prince"

The two of them didn't say a word before the selection began. Several people walked into the Jiangxuexuan one by one according to the official positions of their families. Shi Yi was already in the Jiangxuexuan early in the morning. She sat next to the queen.

"Qingying, you should stand down there too." The queen's face was full of kindness. She really didn't expect that she would have such good fortune while taking care of her niece.

Shi Yi stood up obediently and stood with the other concubines. Although Concubine Xi was somewhat dissatisfied, she knew that her son's position was secure, so she urged her son to hand over the two jade ruyi to Qingying and Fucha Langhuan.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the maid beside the queen coughed and attracted Hongli's attention. Hongli turned around and saw Ruyi. Somehow, he suddenly wanted to give Ruyi to her.

But Hongli still had some brains. At least he knew that his wife could not be a palace maid. And it was even more impossible that this woman was born a slave in the Xinzheku.

"Hongli, go quickly. The beauties are waiting for you," Concubine Xi urged again.

Hongli slowly walked up to Shiyi and handed the Ruyi in his hand to him. Fucha Langhuan felt disappointed and not disappointed at the same time, with very complicated feelings.

"Qingying of the Ulanara clan is a blessed person with great fortune, and is a perfect choice for the legitimate wife."

As soon as Shi Yi took the Ruyi, he bent his knees slightly as a salute. Hongli slightly turned sideways to avoid the salute. He was not sure if he could withstand the salute from this person. It seemed that he had to improve in the future and could not let the other party salute him casually.

Shiyi was holding Ruyi and was called by the Queen to sit next to her to watch Hongli continue to select people. The palace maids beside the Queen looked at Shiyi with resentment, as if Shiyi had killed their parents.

Shi Yi turned his head curiously, and the moment he saw Ruyi, he smiled weirdly, which scared Ruyi so much that she retracted her neck and dared not say a word.

Hongli walked to Gao Xiyue with the purse. He really liked Gao Xiyue: "Tell Congying that she is beautiful and is the best choice for the princess."

"Thank you, Fourth Prince." Gao Xiyue was not surprised that she was a princess, but she was very surprised by the choice of the legitimate wife. However, at this time, she had no right to speak.

Fu Cha Lang Huan was a little confused at this moment. What about himself? What was his identity? Hong Li picked up another jade ruyi and walked in front of Fu Cha Lang Huan.

"Fu Cha is dignified and steady, she is the best choice for the first wife." Fu Cha Langhuan took the jade ruyi in a daze, puzzled.

Before the Manchus entered the Pass, polygamy was the norm, and every wife was considered a legal wife. Even after entering the Pass, Emperor Taizong had five wives in his harem. Could it be that this was the royal family's arrangement for himself and that woman?

Not only did Fu Cha Lang Huan not understand, even the other royal family wives sitting nearby were very surprised. Due to the presence of the emperor, no one said anything. However, they had already made up their minds on how to talk to their masters properly when they returned.

After the selection was over, Shiyi was kept by the Queen in Jingren Palace for dinner, along with the Emperor, Concubine Xi, Hongli, Fucha Langhuan and several other people who had dreamed about her.

Qingying looked calm, eating and drinking as usual, not taking it seriously at all. Only Fucha Langhuan was very nervous. She didn't know what her fate would be. After all, she was just an ordinary court lady.

"No need to serve here, all of you go out, Jianqiu, you guard the door and don't let anyone in."

"Su Peisheng, you go out too, wake up a little"

After driving everyone away, the emperor and empress looked at each other.

"Qingying, if you marry into Hongli's mansion in the future, you will only be his legitimate wife and cannot have children. Are you willing?" The queen spoke first, and was very direct. The emperor wanted her to confirm Qingying's identity and whether she knew anything.

"Aunt already knows my identity. She should know that I entered the Fourth Prince's backyard only to save the world and my identity doesn't matter." He started to act skillfully and soon fooled everyone.

Fu Cha Langhuan couldn't help but feel relieved. As long as Shiyi didn't compete with her, she would be the number one person in Hongli's backyard. When Hongli ascended the throne in the future, she would at worst be a noble concubine.

"I think it would be better to let Fucha enter the palace first, and then welcome Qingying into the palace after she is familiar with the affairs in Hongli's backyard. What do you think?" The emperor asked Shiyi's opinion in a very kind manner.

"Du Ke" Shi Yi didn't care about this. To be honest, even if she was exiled to Ningguta, it would not affect her soul's reincarnation.

Fu Cha Langhuan was very curious. After all, it was her first time to attend such a secret meeting. Moreover, this was her own marriage. It was the first time that she realized the benefits of power. With power, she could easily interfere in even marriages that were said to be off-limits to women.

The matter was settled so simply. A few days later, Hongli was canonized as Prince Bao. At the same time, the emperor's edict was sent to each household. Fucha Langhuan was appointed as the first wife of Prince Bao and exercised the power of the legitimate wife.

Fu Cha Langhuan entered the palace five months later. Everything was done according to the standards for a prince's wife. Her dowry was five loads less than that of a legitimate wife, as a sign of respect for the legitimate wife.

Fu Cha Langhuan would welcome Qingying as the legitimate wife three months after he entered the mansion. As for Gao Xiyue, she would enter Prince Bao's mansion the latest. However, Gao Xiyue and her father Gao Bin had no objection to this decision.

The Fucha and Ulanara families began to prepare their daughters' dowries in full swing, fearing that they would be outdone by the other family. The queen also kept adding to Qingying's dowry.

The young palace maid Ruyi always tried to meet Prince Bao by chance, and she succeeded several times. However, in order to maintain his position and not anger the Emperor and Qingying, Prince Bao refused to accept Ruyi.

Ruyi has to wait at least until Hongli brings both of his wives into the mansion before she can enter Hongli's backyard. This process is long and she has to wait. Ruyi is unhappy every day.
