Although Concubine Hui was choked by her son's words, it was indeed true that the emperor valued his eldest son. In addition, Prince Yu and Prince Gong suffered setbacks last year. The emperor had a tendency to no longer rely on his brothers and instead cultivate his son. As the first son trained by the emperor, the eldest brother
An elder brother, if his son can work hard and make a difference, he will definitely have a bright future.
Concubine Hui knew that although Taizong's eldest son, Prince Su Hauge, was a concubine, he made great military achievements for Taizong. If Dorgon hadn't stopped him after Taizong's sudden death, perhaps the history of the Qing Dynasty would have been rewritten. Of course, if Prince Su had won the throne that year,
, there would be no current Concubine Hui and the eldest brother, but Concubine Hui hopes that her son can rewrite future history.
"It's too late to urge me. I'm afraid the prince is waiting for your baby to be born. If it's a girl, he should rush to compete for the title of the emperor's eldest grandson." Concubine Hui sneered, thinking of her last year to persuade her son to come forward to testify against Yu.
The prince and the mother had a big quarrel, and she didn't want anything to happen again, which would cause the mother and son to become estranged. Now that Yinti was talking about it, she could only take a step back and agreed, "I won't do anything about you two in the future.
No matter what, you should coax your Fujin and tell her that I will never force her to have children again."
Yinti breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If E Niang really cares about her, she wouldn't dare to be disrespectful. I'm not in the capital, so I'll ask you to take more care of me."
Concubine Hui said impatiently: "She can't even enter the Forbidden City, so why should I take care of her? Don't blame E Niang for talking too much. If her eldest daughter-in-law doesn't do what she should do, your emperor will also be unhappy. I
I promise you won’t embarrass her again, but you can try to persuade her. She has to stand up for you when dealing with favors in the clan."
While she was talking, a maid came in from outside. Concubine Hui asked angrily what was important. The maid reported: "The servant heard a message from outside that the emperor had just decreed to confer the title of Princess Heshuo Rongxian on the second princess and marry her to Borjiji of Bahrain.
Te's."
The eldest brother asked curiously: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Concubine Hui immediately informed the palace ladies to prepare gifts and go to Jingyang Palace to congratulate her in person. Although marrying a daughter would inevitably lead to sadness, it was also a great joy. No matter what their relationship was now, she and Concubine Rong had been in love for more than twenty years.
When the eldest brother left the Changchun Palace, the harem was already very lively. Last year, when the first and second princesses were getting married, they all looked forward to the excitement this year based on their ages. Sure enough, after the third elder brother was accused of getting married, the second princess was very excited.
There is news soon, the fourth elder brother and the third princess will be next, and the fourth elder brother's Fujin has already been selected, and outsiders are curious whether it will be done before the third princess gets married.
At this time, Jingyang Palace was crowded with guests. Naturally, Princess Rongxian went to Ningshou Palace to kowtow to the Queen Mother and hide in her grandmother's house, unwilling to deal with these matters. However, Concubine Rong faced the unexpected event in a fog.
After hearing the good news, when the guests dispersed and only a few people were left, she said blankly: "What's going on, Your Majesty? You left me unprepared when you arranged for the third brother to be married, and now you suddenly decided to marry Rongxian as well."
She is married, and she is getting married in June. Is he afraid that after so long, I will be reluctant to let go of the child?"
Seeing that Concubine Rong's eyes were red, everyone knew that she was reluctant to be a mother. They persuaded and comforted her for a few words before leaving. Lan Qi walked slowly for a few steps. Concubine Rong personally walked her to the door and said privately: "Although I am just a county prince.
My son, it is better to marry to Monan than to Mobei. Mobei has been incessant in the past few years. Didn't there be internal strife again at the beginning of the year? In fact, I have been worried about this, because I am afraid that the emperor will marry his daughter to Mobei.
The Northern Alliance marriage is now going to Monan, and I feel at ease."
Lan Qi knew the reluctance of marrying a daughter, so she comforted Concubine Rong: "The emperor must be considerate of my sister's feelings, so he chose the best husband for Rong Xian. June is here in a flash, and we don't want anything else to do.
It’s best for my daughter to get married.”
After the sisters said these words, Lan Qi returned to Changchun Palace. When she entered the door, she heard Wen Xian's chirping voice. Inside, she heard that Er Niang was back, and Wen Xian ran out to greet her. Lan Qi blamed her for not being like a princess.
Steady and dignified, Wen Xian said proudly: "Don't worry, E Niang. When I get married like sister Rong Xian in the future, I will be steady and dignified and will never embarrass Ama E Niang." He then asked his mother curiously, "I will marry in the future.
Where to go? Mom, do I want to go to the grassland like my sisters? Will my sisters and I be together again there?"
"The grassland is so big, and each tribe is thousands of miles apart, how can they be together?" Lan Qi touched her daughter's head and said, "Stay with me and grow up slowly."
On this day, the emperor drove to Jingyang Palace, and he must have talked with Concubine Rong about marrying his daughter. But when night fell, the emperor suddenly arrived in front of the Yonghe Palace. Lan Qi was having a meal with her son and daughter.
After Ye came in, he said he didn't have anything to eat and sat down to eat together. The children were naturally happy, but Lan Qi felt uncomfortable for some reason. Firstly, she hadn't seen him for a few days, and secondly, when she saw Xuan Ye, the incident with Ping Guiren came up again.
heart.
After the meal, Xuan Ye taught Thirty-Four how to write, the joy of a loving father and a son filial piety. Lan Qi stayed by the side quietly until all the children had left, and Eunuch Liang sent some memorials. The emperor sat at the lamp without any distractions.
After finishing the review, he suddenly called her after a while: "There is no more ink."
Lan Qi then left the kang and came to his side. She stood by the desk and was grinding ink. With the slow rubbing sound, the emperor was approving the paper with one hand and asked at the same time: "You don't seem very happy today."
Lan Qi said: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How did the emperor know that I am unhappy today? It is the same on weekdays. There is nothing unusual about it."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time?" Xuan Ye frowned and thought for a while, then smiled bitterly, "I really don't think so."
Lan Qi said with a smile: "I didn't plan the day to meet, I just said it casually. I have nothing to be unhappy about. It's just that today there was the good news that Rong Xian was getting married. Seeing that Sister Rong Xian was reluctant to let go, I felt a little bit unbearable."
"I told her that although the announcement was hasty, I had decided on the candidate early in the morning. Even if I gave her more time to prepare, she would still marry her to Bahrain." Xuan Ye put down his pen, served tea and said, "I
We need to go to Dolenol now. We will set off in the second half of the year and return in the middle of May. I will marry Rongxian in June."
Lan Qi said: "Your Majesty wants to go to Mobei? It's not very peaceful there."
"It's just because of the peace that I'm going, and I don't want them to blindly ask for peace with me. I don't want to marry them yet. I, the Qing Dynasty, want them to surrender, not to become relatives with them. We may marry in the future, but
Not now." The emperor said calmly, "I rushed to marry Rong Xian to Monan to let those people in Mobei understand that they should not have any ideas about my daughter for the time being."
Lan Qi smiled and said: "I just said, why did the emperor suddenly have an idea? It turned out that he had already thought about it."
Xuan Ye nodded and asked again: "I'm going to Mobei, will you go?"
Lan Qi looked at him, their eyes met, and they didn't say they were connected, but she seemed to see in Xuan Ye's eyes that he didn't want to take her there. Maybe Xuan Ye originally wanted her to go, but Lan Qi felt uneasy in her heart.
There were too many things to do, and she was thinking about her sister who was in confinement. She didn't want to go, but she attributed the responsibility to Xuan Ye.
The two were silent for a while, and then Lan Qi said: "My daughter will be married in June. I will go with you to Mobei. Who will do the palace affairs? Leave it to Sister Rong. She will be disappointed. I will not
I'm going and waiting for you to come back so that I can organize Rong Xian's wedding."
Xuan Ye's eyes flashed with disappointment, but he did not force it and responded: "Yes, Concubine Rong is somewhat dependent on you now. If you are not here, no one can help her. When our daughter is married in June, we will move there.
We should live in the garden a long time ago this year, but we have been delayed by all kinds of things."
Lan Qi thought of the beautiful scene of the two of them in the garden in the middle of winter last year. Her mood suddenly improved, and the smile on her face became natural. She smiled at Xuan Ye: "If we leave in June, I would like to live in Yingtai."
For a while, there were too many trees in the garden and the cicadas were too noisy, but Yingtai was still clean in summer."
Hearing what she said, Xuan Ye felt inexplicably better. He stretched out his hand to stop her, put his arm around Lan Qi's waist and said, "Then go to Yingtai, stay there quietly until late autumn, and return to the palace in late autumn.
Organize a wedding for Yinzhi and Yinzhen."
Lan Qi was surprised: "The emperor has decided?"
Xuan Ye smiled: "It is not your wish to marry Yinzhen this year. I have remembered it. But there is no rush to talk about it now. We will wait until I come back from Dolenor."
The invisible embarrassment between the two people quickly dissipated, they talked about these things together quietly, and spent the night happily and warmly. After all, Lan Qi suppressed Ping Guiren's matter, always feeling that it was neither necessary nor qualified to go
When asked why the emperor was a cuckold, the emperor didn't want to tell her. He took the initiative to ask her what she did. Anyway, it really had nothing to do with her.
A few days later, the imperial court officially announced that the emperor would go to Dolennore to form an alliance with the nobles of the three major tribes of Khalkha, with the intention of resolving the 30-year-long grievances of Khalkha, preventing the recurrence of internal strife in Khalkha, and not giving the Garkha
Any opportunity given by Dan's people to instigate aggression would make the various Mongolian tribes surrender to the Qing Dynasty and stick to the Qing Dynasty's borders.
The eldest brother, Yinzhen, had already set off for the front station in Duolunor in advance, while the prince was arranged to stay in Kyoto. The emperor would go with his third brother, fourth brother, and fifth brother this time. Yinzhen excitedly talked to his mother for a long time.
, Lan Qi is also happy for her son.
As for the escort from the harem, it was not decided until two days before departure. None of the concubines De and Rong were with them. This time, it was finally Concubine Yi’s turn to accompany him on a long journey. When the news reached Yikun Palace, Concubine Yi simply did not believe that the emperor could still do it.
Thinking of her. In addition to Concubine Yi, Concubine Tong, Concubine Xi, Concubine Jing, Wang Chang Zai, and Yuan Cheng are all listed. But the most surprising thing is not Concubine Yi's escort, but the list of escorts.
There is a Zen noble person.
Concubine Rong said to Lan Qi privately: "I heard that the last time I went back to Mulan Paddock, the noble Jue Chan stunned everyone. Although many years have passed, the noble Jue Chan is still beautiful. Look at the people accompanying this time. The emperor is leading
Do you want to wear beautiful clothes to decorate your appearance?"
