"Sister, I want a royal decree."
"My decree?" Yi Guifei Ruan Yunqi looked at her sister in surprise. She looked Ruan Yunluo up and down, as if meeting her for the first time, "Aren't you always aloof? How could you make such a request? I thought you wanted to reconcile."
"If possible, of course I want to reconcile, but will Your Majesty agree?"
The emperor was not assassinated in his previous life, and Ruan Yunluo had no role in saving him. He was still afraid of being infamous and refused to let Ruan Yunluo reconcile for the sake of his daughter. Ruan Yunluo became his savior in this life, and it was even more impossible for him to agree.
Otherwise, wouldn’t he, the emperor, become an ungrateful person?
"You think clearly." Ruan Yunqi looked at her sister with approval, "After losing those inexplicable persistence, you are much smarter than before."
"People must learn to be realistic."
Ruan Yunluo smiled bitterly. She didn't expect that such words could come out of her own mouth.
In her previous life, when Yin Xiaorou regained her identity and asked to be with Xiao Chongjing, Ruan Yunqi once advised her to be realistic and not aloof. Let her take advantage of the fact that the emperor feels guilty and quickly ask for a royal identity to provide a way out.
But at that time, she suddenly learned that what Yin Xiaorou really liked was her husband. She was surrounded by a huge sense of betrayal, and her mind was filled with the anger that she would rather die than live in ruins...
So not only did she not accept Ruan Yunqi's suggestion, she even had a big fight with her, despising her for being a philistine and for not understanding her...
She fiercely demanded a divorce, but what was the result? Neither the emperor nor Xiao Chongjing nor Yin Xiaorou wanted to bear the reputation of insulting their first wife.
In the end, she was left empty-handed, neither the reconciliation nor the decree was successful. Instead, Yin Xiaorou regained her status as a princess and became an equal wife again, dominating her in every aspect.
"Just make sure you know what's going on."
Ruan Yunqi wanted to continue mocking her sister, but seeing her tired eyes and pale face, she finally swallowed her words. She raised her chin and signaled Ruan Yunluo to drink the stuff on the bedside first, "Tianshan Snow Lotus, Yi Zhen is specially filial to me, so it's an advantage for you."
"This means that the rich water does not flow to outsiders." Ruan Yunluo smiled and drank it happily.
"Don't be ashamed." Ruan Yunqi shook her head helplessly. "It's a pity that Yi Zhen is not in the capital recently, otherwise he would have to blackmail you, my aunt, in order to relieve the hatred in my heart."
"Don't worry, he has already blackmailed you."
Thinking of Jun Yizhen's performance at the Autumn Appreciation Banquet that day, Ruan Yunluo couldn't help but laugh.
At the same time, I secretly regretted that I died too early in my previous life. If he could wait until the next emperor ascended the throne before dying, he might be able to help his sister and nephew.
Now... I can only take one step at a time and hope that Yi Zhen can live up to his expectations.
…
Cining Palace.
The emperor paced back and forth in the room. He sighed and looked at his mother, "Mother, do you think I should recognize these two children?"
"It shouldn't be." The old queen closed her eyes to rest, and fiddled with the beads with her fingers, and said calmly: "It would be fine if there was only one Yin Xiaorou. She is a girl, so it won't hinder anything. But Yin Wenyu... Your Majesty, this is a major matter that affects the country. , in case there is a mistake..."
"That's not possible." Jun Yiguang waved his hand, "Although Wen Yu was still young when I left the northwest, he had a birthmark on his shoulder, which cannot be faked. Moreover, the crown prince has been decided, and the throne will not be his. .”
"Since you have thought it all clearly, why are you still hesitating?"
"It's Xiaorou, her current reputation is really..." Jun Yiguang sighed, and simply told all the grievances between Yin Xiaorou, Hua Weiwei, Mrs. Huiguo, and the brothers of the Xiao family. Then he looked at his mother, hesitant to speak, "I'm afraid that she will implicate Wen Yu."
"Is this how she behaves?"
The Queen Mother frowned and opened her eyes, and immediately stopped playing with the beads, "In this case, let's just recognize one. Just this one is enough to cause an uproar in the world. If there is another one of her, the world will not know about it. How can we discuss it?"
"Yes, Queen Mother, you are right." Jun Yiguang felt relieved.
Hearing that Yin Xiaorou and Ruan Yunluo were already awake, he no longer hesitated and directly ordered everyone involved in the matter to be brought over.
As soon as everyone entered the room, they immediately knelt down and began to greet each other.
After kowtowing for a long time, the Queen Mother spoke kindly and asked everyone to get up.
"Are you Wen Yu?"
The Queen Mother glanced across the crowd, smiled and waved to Yin Wenyu.
Yin Wenyu glanced at his sister, saw her nodding, and then cautiously walked towards the Queen Mother.
"How old are you?" The Queen Mother rubbed his head kindly and asked, "Have you read a book?"
"Thirteen." Yin Wenyu lowered his head in shame and whispered: "I only read some Four Books and Five Classics."
"Good boy." The Queen Mother's eyes became more loving.
She looked at Jun Yiguang with a smile, "I just have nothing to do. This child will follow me from now on, so that you don't have to worry."
"Of course that's good!" Jun Yiguang was worried about how to arrange Yin Wenyu. Hearing what the Queen Mother said, his eyes immediately lit up and he looked at Yin Wenyu with a smile, "Yu'er, why don't you thank the Queen Mother quickly?"
"Thank you, Grandma Huang!"
Yin Wenyu quickly knelt down to thank him.
This happy scene clearly told everyone that the emperor only recognized Yin Wenyu.
And Yin Xiaorou has been abandoned.
Although she had already expected this result, Yin Xiaorou couldn't help but feel embarrassed when it happened before her eyes.
She lowered her eyes and didn't look at anyone. It wasn't until the emperor asked her, "What reward do you want for saving the emperor?" Then she knelt down and spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, I don't want anything, as long as Wen Yu can live in peace in the palace." Just stay in peace."
"What kind of request is this?" Jun Yiguang shook his head and smiled, "Besides this, what else do you want?"
"I..." Yin Xiaorou pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Chongjing unconsciously. She looked at Jun Yiguang with pleading eyes, "Your Majesty, I want to stay with General Xiao forever, please do it!"
"This..." Jun Yiguang frowned.
He glanced at Xiao Chongjing and Ruan Yunluo with a headache. When he was helpless, Ruan Yunluo suddenly stood up in surprise, "How can this be done?"
"Why not?"
The queen was watching the play enthusiastically, and when she heard this, she said dissatisfiedly: "General Xiao's house is empty and he has few heirs, and everyone knows that. Now that Miss Xiao Rou is interested, Mrs. Ruan should be happy. Why is she so domineering?"
"Yunluo is not domineering, but he dare not..." Ruan Yunluo looked at Yin Xiaorou and then Jun Yiguang with a troubled face, and asked helplessly, "With the status of Miss Xiaorou, how can she be a concubine?"
"If this must be the case..."
She hesitated, gritted her teeth and knelt in front of Jun Yiguang, "Your Majesty, please grant me a request!"
