Chapter 153 If I’m unhappy, does that mean the entire Songyang County is unhappy?
"Eunuch Ling. Long time no see."
Ling Yunche originally wanted to expose Concubine Ling and Princess Jingse for colluding with each other to murder the fifth princess.
But he had only said half of his accusation when Princess Jingse came out from the inner hall.
"Princess."
Ling Yunche tried desperately to recall everything Jinzhong had said, and realized that he had been tricked by Jinzhong.
While Ling Yunche was thinking, Ruyi came out from the inner hall. She didn't hear what Ling Yunche said in the inner hall just now, she only heard Jingse talking to Ling Yunche.
"Ling Yunche, you're here."
"Princess Jingse is back. She brought some good Mongolian fighters with her. Jingsi's mental illness can be cured."
Ruyi excitedly told Ling Yunche the good news.
Ling Yunche became more and more certain that Jinzhong was plotting against him. He deliberately told him some false words in order to make him offend Princess Jingse and thus make the Fifth Princess' illness incurable.
After figuring this out, Ling Yunche stopped making his previous accusation.
After listening to the conversation between Ruyi and Jingse, Ling Yunche learned that Dawachi had repeatedly disobeyed the emperor, and the emperor finally could not hold back and sent troops to attack Dawachi.
In this battle, Princess Jingse helped the Queen Mother to take Princess Longyue back from Dawachi and secretly sent her to the palace.
"The Emperor is worried that he failed to rescue Princess Longyue in time last time, causing the princess to suffer a second crime. Now you have secretly helped the Emperor and brought Princess Longyue back. The relationship between the Queen Mother and the Emperor has eased a lot."
Ruyi's words about how much she valued Jingse made Ling Yunche realize that Princess Jingse now had the support of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and he could not afford to offend her.
Ling Yunche had just begun to think about the long-term plan when Sanbao suddenly asked her a question.
"Eunuch Ling, what do you want to report to Concubine Ling?"
Ling Yunche stood there in silence for a moment.
Jingse took a sip of tea.
"Ling Fei? But is she the noble lady from the past of our Emperor?"
Ruyi smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
"It is she. She is very much favored by the Emperor now."
Jingse said "oh".
"Then Ling Yunche, what are you going to sue her for?"
Ruyi and Jingse were both sitting facing Ling Yunche. Ruyi's eyes were filled with anticipation, while Jingse had a smile on his face but a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Jingse heard Ling Yunche's accusation just now. She even knew that what Ling Yunche hadn't finished saying was related to her.
"My lady, it's not a big deal.
I heard that when Concubine Ling was serving the emperor in bed some time ago, she insisted on asking the emperor to sing Kunqu Opera.
Many people in the Yangxin Palace know about this."
Ling Yunche didn't dare to get involved with Jingse, so he had to find him to tell him about a small matter that Yanwan had been keeping an eye on for the past few days.
"This……"
"This is really inappropriate. In the past, it was fine for Concubine Jia to sing Kunqu opera to seduce the emperor.
Concubine Ling also learned this way."
What Jingse was about to say was blocked by Ruyi.
Jingse said nothing more and just looked at Ruyi.
Although Ruyi can't afford to offend other people, she can easily control Wei Yanwan, who has no background.
In order to prevent the unhealthy trend in the harem from spreading, Ruyi ordered Sanbao and Ling Yunche.
"The princess has returned to the court. I think the concubines should also meet her. Please ask them to come over."
"Concubine Ling is trying to climb up the social ladder by any means necessary. I will definitely punish her. Only in this way can the concubines be content."
Jingse listened from the side and just smiled at Ruyi.
A jealous woman like Ruyi became the empress.
Jingse couldn't even imagine how busy her royal father's harem was in a day.
"Ling Fei. When you slept with the emperor, you used seductive tactics. Do you know that you were wrong?"
As soon as Yanwan arrived, she was questioned by Ruyi.
Yanwan's gaze fell on Ling Yunche.
"My Queen, I don't know where I went wrong."
Ruyi believed that Yanwan was a coquettish woman, and when she refused to admit her mistake, she glared at her angrily.
"You just need to serve the emperor, why do you have to sing lascivious songs to him and ask him to sing Kunqu opera?
Do you want to ruin the emperor's reputation?"
Ruyi wished she could eat Wei Yanwan in one bite.
Yanwan trembled in panic.
"Your Majesty, how did you know such a secret?"
Ruyi was shocked too late.
Just now, she only wanted to punish Yan Wan, and didn't even think about saying publicly whether this matter had leaked royal privacy.
Now being asked back by Yan Wan, I have nothing to say.
"Ling Fei. You are so eloquent. You haven't responded to the Empress's question yet."
Concubine Ke, who had been beaten by Yan Wan, wished she could find some evidence against Yan Wan and fought back against her.
While she was speaking, she was looking at Yingpin standing beside her, indicating that since they were both Mongolians and on Ruyi's side, they should deal with Yanwan together.
Yingpin also said with disdain:
"But, Concubine Ling, how can you avoid the Queen's question and ask her the question instead without being disrespectful?"
With these two people encouraging Ruyi's arrogance, Ruyi took Yanwan less seriously and wished she could send her to the Ministry of Punishment immediately.
"Empress Dowager, Jingse has something to say. I wonder if I should say it or not?"
When Ruyi was about to punish Yanwan, Jingse suddenly spoke.
Jingse didn't ask Yanwan, but asked Concubine Ke and Concubine Ying instead.
"Lady Ke, Concubine Ying. This princess also married into Khorchin, so she is considered half Mongolian.
When I was in Mongolia, I also saw many women dancing Mongolian dances and the Mongolian unique horse-head fiddle. I wonder if you two ladies have seen them?"
Although Concubine Ke and Concubine Ying didn't know what Jingse meant, they both said they had seen it.
Jingse got the result and smiled.
"Let me ask you one more question. Yingpin's mother and Ke Guiren's mother are both wives of the Khan. Do they manage their subordinates very strictly?"
When Jingse asked this, the two of them didn't dare to say anything. They always felt that something was wrong.
They didn't say anything, Jingse wanted to speak, but she heard Jingse say sternly:
"The Empress Dowager blamed Concubine Ling. That's because the Empress Dowager is the Empress. Whatever the Empress Dowager says is the Empress Dowager's own.
What are you? Concubines. Imperial concubines.
How can you have the right to interrupt when the Empress Dowager is speaking?"
"You're talking about Concubine Ling singing Kunqu opera. Kunqu opera is the emperor's favorite. As the emperor's concubines, you don't know about this. And you're still making fun of Concubine Ling.
What is virtue?
"As Mongolian concubines, dancing and playing the horse-head fiddle are all ways for you to win favor. I don't know how to please the emperor.
Why don't you allow others to please the Emperor?"
Jingse's words suddenly changed, and Ruyi had no idea what was going on. She stared at Jingse blankly.
Jingse turned and pointed at Yingpin.
"I heard that Empress Ying often mentions that she has forty-nine Mongolian tribes behind her?"
"We all came from Mongolia, so who doesn't know how big the 49 tribes of Mongolia are?"
Yingpin felt guilty and ashamed after being told this.
Jingse laughed sarcastically.
“This princess heard that among the beauties selected for the imperial palace selection, there is a beauty from Songyang County.
Yingpin, you probably don’t know that Songyang County is no smaller than your 49 Mongolian tribes.”
"Has anyone heard An Shi talking all day long? If I'm not happy, does that mean the whole Songyang County is unhappy?"
Yingpin had always relied on the forty-nine Mongolian tribes to support herself, but she never expected that one day she would be humiliated by this.
"Jingse. They don't mean any harm."
Jingse had been talking for a long time, but Ruyi didn't understand what Jingse meant, and she even spoke for Yingpin and Ke Guiren.
Jingse turned to look at Ruyi and sneered.
"Yes. I don't blame them. In fact, everything that was wrong today is Ling Yunche's fault, isn't it?"
