Chapter 107 Infertility
The emperor led the applause, walked down the stage and personally helped Concubine Gong up.
Concubine Gong also responded with a smile, with a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.
Today is Double Ninth Festival. Without the queen, there are not so many rules, and the emperor still rests in Yongshou Palace.
Jiang Ruyin walked gracefully to the emperor's side, her eyes moving as she carefully observed his expression. She said softly, "Your Majesty, I see that you seem to be in a much better mood recently."
The emperor looked up with a relaxed smile on his face.
"I am indeed in a good mood." The emperor paused and continued, "This noble lady Gong does have some of the charm of Concubine Hua, but she is much more obedient than Concubine Hua." As he spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in the emperor's eyes.
Jiang Ruyin pursed her lips slightly, and after a moment's thought, she suggested softly, "Your Majesty, I have an idea. Duolan, who is beside Concubine Gong, is in love with a Mongolian warrior. I think it would be better to marry Duolan back to Mongolia as a Heshuo Princess. On the one hand, it would help the lovers get together, and on the other hand, it would strengthen the relationship with Mongolia." After saying that, Jiang Ruyin looked at the emperor with anticipation.
When the emperor heard this, he frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth.
He pondered for a moment.
Since the previous dynasty, the Aisin Gioro clan was finally freed from Mongolia's control.
He also thought that Nian Gengyao now had the power to intimidate all officials with his military achievements. If he could consolidate the relationship with Mongolia through a reverse marriage, it might be of great benefit to the situation.
Concubine Gong Borjigit Tara was born in the Khalkha League of Outer Mongolia. She represented the entire Mongolian tribe in participating in the selection, but it was just a traditional form.
If I take the initiative to marry Dolan back to the Mongolian tribe, and the lovers finally get married, it would be a supreme honor, and the Mongolian tribe would also be grateful to me.
What's more, Duolan was originally a Mongolian woman. She came to the capital with Concubine Gong. Every woman in the huge Forbidden City was the emperor's woman. If she was adopted as an adopted daughter, it would not damage the reputation of the royal family and would also deepen the relationship with the Mongolian tribes.
How can a woman's few treasures be worth the friendship between two families?
Finally, the emperor stopped and looked at Jiang Ruyin intently. He nodded slightly and said, "Your suggestion is very much in line with my opinion. I will follow your advice."
Jiang Ruyin's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile. She bowed and said, "I thank the Emperor for his grace. I believe this will bring benefits to the Qing Dynasty."
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the concubines would each fan themselves gently. Ten days later, on Double Ninth Festival, they all wore waistcoats. There were various styles and colors, including those with pipa collars, double-breasted collars, and large collars. Only Zhen Huan wore plain clothes, and her headdress was adorned with only slightly dull jadeite jewels on the sides.
The emperor sent people to the Golkha tribe to inquire, and found out that the young man named Uniji was the fourth son of the leader of the seven Golkha banners. He was flattered and immediately knelt to praise the emperor's wisdom.
As the family of Concubine Gong, the leaders of the nine Khalkha banners warmly entertained the envoys and presented them with many famous specialties, such as meat floss mushrooms, kumis, Galatun sand apples, and so on.
Before leaving, the Seven Khalkha Banners sent a large number of famous products, as well as several boxes of animal furs, gems and other treasures, as if they were determined to surpass the Nine Banners.
The emperor told Jiang Ruyin about this as if jokingly. Jiang Ruyin couldn't stop laughing and said, "You can marry the girl without any worries."
The emperor smiled but said nothing, but he was thinking in his heart that the Mongolian tribes were not as united as they seemed.
The wedding date was set half a month before the Silver Camel Festival in Mongolia. Jiang Ruyin and Jingpin prepared their dowries, which made the other ladies in the palace envious.
The emperor mentioned another matter, "I summon Concubine Gong once every three to five days, but I have never heard that Concubine Gong has her period. You should ask the imperial physician to check Concubine Gong's pulse tomorrow. If she is pregnant, take good care of her." The emperor said this with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were emotionless.
"I understand. However, I only realized now that the emperor cares so much about Concubine Gong. If I had known this, I should have asked Concubine Gong to go to the Yangxin Palace every day to serve the emperor with writing materials." Jiang Ruyin said pretending to be jealous.
The emperor said cheerfully, "I remember yours, so last month when you had your period, Concubine Gong's green card was also removed, so I had some impression of it."
Jiang Ruyin was finally satisfied.
The next day, Jiang Ruyin went to the Yangxin Palace with a sad face.
"Today, I asked Chen Xun to examine Noble Lady Gong's pulse. Chen Xun said that Noble Lady Gong was in a good mood and always went to bed late, which caused her irregular periods. Her pulse was also strange, and it seemed difficult for her to get pregnant. So I took the initiative to invite Jiang Shen, a doctor with a high medical record, to come. Jiang Shen said," Jiang Ruyin bent down even more respectfully, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Noble Lady Gong is born infertile."
The atmosphere in the Yangxin Palace suddenly became cold.
The emperor's eyes were gloomy, and Jiang Ruyin's heart sank as well.
Not wanting the Mongolian military flag's concubine to be pregnant and sending an infertile concubine by the Mongolian military flag are two different things.
When the emperor saw his own mother having an affair with Longkodo, he once said, "My father is the emperor."
It can be seen that in the emperor's heart, the majesty of the emperor is above everything else.
The emperor remained silent. Jiang Ruyin bravely took a few steps on her knees and said, "How dare the Mongols deceive the emperor? The emperor has put aside past grudges and married the princess. This should be a good story."
The emperor then smiled and personally helped Jiang Ruyin up. "Yin'er is absolutely right. Only a woman like this can join hands with me to overlook the world."
Although these words were full of respect, Jiang Ruyin could not accept them.
She immediately said with deep fear, "I am only a little influenced by your Majesty's wise governance, which is why I have such foolish thoughts. I cannot bear your words."
The emperor smiled faintly, wanting to keep Jiang Ruyin by his side.
Jiang Ruyin declined politely, "Your Majesty, I just rushed here in a hurry, and Concubine Gong is still in Yongshou Palace. This morning, Hongxuan was clamoring to find Hongning again. Why don't I ask Concubine Qian to bring the two princes to accompany Your Majesty?"
The emperor was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Leaving the Yangxin Palace,
The autumn sun, no longer as blazing and intense as the summer sun, has become softer and more languid. Golden ginkgo leaves sway gently in the breeze, whispering to the red and white-tiled palace walls. From time to time, a few leaves drift down, swirling to the ground, only to be swept into dustpans by the palace maids sweeping the floor.
The vermilion palace walls, illuminated by the warm autumn sun, appear even more solemn and exude a touch of warmth. The mottled light and shadows slide down the walls, adding a sense of heaviness to the background of Jiang Ruyin and his group.
The palace's flying eaves and corners outline a clear and graceful contour in the halo, the glazed tiles sparkle with a unique brilliance, the royal majesty is undoubtedly revealed, and blends into the unique tranquility of autumn.
The Podocarpus trees in Yongshou Palace are still green, but they are also tinged with autumn. Occasionally, a few sparrows jump on the branches, and their chirping breaks the silence for a moment, making the afternoon seem even more lonely.
