In April of the 29th year of Kangxi's reign, the draft kicked off as scheduled. E's mother, Shu Shujueluo, entered the palace in advance for the sake of Aling'a. Although Aling'a was not the daughter of E's mother, his biological mother left early, which was very important to Shu Shu.
Jue Luo was quite filial. Now that he was old enough, it was time to get a wife. A Ling'a was filial to his mother, so Wen Xi naturally didn't mind planning a good wife for him, so she agreed.
On the day of the draft, Concubine Rong was the busiest. Her son wanted to marry Fujin, and her daughter wanted to be crowned a princess. Concubine Hui didn't dare to lag behind. Her daughter-in-law had given birth to two princesses since she started, so she had been looking forward to her grandson.
Concubine Hui was very dissatisfied! So she was thinking about choosing a side Fujin for her son!
"Master, Da Gege has been invited by Concubine Yi." Zhu'er Fu Shen reported.
Wen Xi was stunned, Yi Fei? How did she hook up with Ruyan? Or how did Ruyan hook up with Yi Fei? Rubbing her temples, Wen Xi thought of her fifth elder brother, Yin Qi, who is already twelve years old this year.
, only one year younger than Yan.
Wen Xi asked: "Where are Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong?"
Zhu'er said: "The people that Concubine Hui invited to see her were all brothers and fathers whose official positions were not very high, but they were all Geges from well-known families. Concubine Rong only invited two people, Dong Egege, the daughter of Tong Peng Chun.
, Uranala, the daughter of Lord Feiyanggu."
Both of these two princesses came from prominent backgrounds, and their fathers were both powerful generals in the Qing Dynasty. Peng Chun was one of the great contributors to the San Francisco Rebellion, holding the title of Prince Taibao, and later established his position in the battle with Tsarist Russia in Yaksa City.
After great service, he is now a fierce general with a heavy army.
As for Fei Yanggu, he fought on the battlefield in his early years. After three dynasties, he made a lot of contributions to the settlement of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains. Ulanara was his only daughter in his later years, and he loved her very much. Unfortunately, she has now removed her armor, and Kangxi awarded her a first-class cloud rider.
She was given the title of Wei and promoted to a minister of the first rank. The official position was higher than that of Peng Chun, but unfortunately she had no military power. If nothing unexpected happened, Concubine Rong would choose the Dong E family.
Wen Xi said: "Tomorrow, please invite Ulanara Gege and Ruyan to come over and have tea together." Wenxi wanted to see how much Ruyan knew about history. Wenxi, a person who has only been a concubine in history, Ruyan
Yan didn't show any weirdness or doubts about Wen Xi's identity. It's just that she didn't know much about history.
With the status of an imperial concubine, she summoned the two beautiful ladies and they came naturally. She also called the fourth elder brother in advance and told him to hide behind the screen, listen, and make up his own mind.
Ulanala was fourteen years old, one year older than Yinzhen, and Ruyan was thirteen years old. She was the same age as Yinzhen, and in later generations they were just two young girls. But in the Qing Dynasty, they were all getting married.
In fact, Ulanara is not very beautiful, but his appearance and behavior are extremely dignified, which shows that he is well-educated. Ulanara has a round face and a full forehead, so he is a very blessed person.
Her appearance is indeed much better than that of Ulanara. She has a beautiful oval face, smooth skin, and an expression that is either happy or angry. It is indeed more eye-catching.
The two of them saluted together, and with a smile on her face, she asked, "You've been living in Chuxiu Palace these days. Are you still used to it?"
Ruyan took the lead and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Thank you, aunt, for caring. Everything is fine with Ruyan."
The name "aunt" made Wenxi feel very uncomfortable. She really didn't like her niece Ruyan.
Ulanara said matter-of-factly: "Everything is well, my slave."
Wen Xi hummed and said: "The palace election will be held in three days. You can decide whether to stay or go at that time. You can rest assured." This is to tell them that both of you will definitely stay and decide in advance.
It's a decided thing. The so-called "fixed number" also tells Ruyan to stop fussing. She can't change the fixed number.
However, Ruyan obviously did not understand the deeper meaning of Wen Xi's words, and instead said with a smile: "Ruyan will not let you down!" After saying that, he glanced at the scroll hanging to the west and smiled: "
This must be the pomegranate picture painted by the fourth elder brother himself, the fourth elder brother is really filial!"
Wen Xi really regretted not taking off the painting, which gave her an excuse to mention Yinzhen. However, her goal was Yinzhen, and sooner or later she would come to check on Wen Xi! So she hummed lightly and said, "Look
Feeling happy, I hung it up."
Ulanara also nodded and said: "Pomegranates with many seeds are an excellent sign."
Ruyan muttered, "Sister Huiying is so boring!"
Wen Xi looked at Ruyan's expression carefully and asked, "Have you known each other before?"
Ruyan smiled and said: "No! Sister Huiying is the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, Fei Yanggu, and I happen to be her immediate boss, so we are naturally familiar with her!"
Ulanara frowned unnoticeably, but Wenxi still held back and did not refute anything. If Yan is a junior after all, it is quite impolite to call Ulanara's father's name!
Ruyan kept talking, "Sister Huiying is very lovable, except for being a bit too quiet. Concubine Rong invited Sister Huiying to her early yesterday morning. She must have taken a fancy to her and wanted to get her."
Being a daughter-in-law!"
"If you are jealous, please be careful what you say!" Ulanara couldn't help but said, her current identity is still a show girl, and a show girl must be selected by the emperor before it is the turn of the princes and clans, otherwise it will be spread and discussed.
What does it look like!
Ruyan snorted, pursed her lips and said: "What's the big deal? In this draft, the third elder brother and the fourth elder brother are going to marry Fujin. I personally heard the emperor say that he will marry the fourth elder brother!"
"Shut up!" Wen Xi couldn't help but said angrily, "These are what you should say? Of course the emperor can say it, but others can't!"
Ru Yan shrank his neck and did not dare to say anything.
Wen Xi snorted and said: "You are only thirteen, and you don't understand many things. Don't think nonsense, let alone talk nonsense!" Ruyan looks like this, and she doesn't know how to restrain herself. It's better not to propose marriage to her this year. Anyway, she is still young.
Xiao, it doesn’t matter if you wait! It’s just that Concubine Yi...does she really plan to find such an obscure Fujin for her son?
Ulanara was still there, so Wen Xi couldn't scold her too much. He just told her to learn more from Ulanara and not to break the rules, so he rewarded Ulanara with a white jade with a blessing and longevity pattern, and the reward was Ruyi.
A pair of pink and purple hibiscus jade bracelets made them retreat.
Only then did Fourth Brother come out from behind the screen.
Wen Xi smiled and asked: "How is it? Is it still eye-catching?" Wen Xi was naturally talking about Uranala, otherwise she would not have given her the jade Ruyi.
The fourth elder brother lowered his head and said: "It all depends on Emperor Ama and E Niang, and my son has no objections." This is considered to be his wish. Although Ulanara is not a national beauty, his demeanor is not bad at all. He chose Fujin as his direct descendant.
, there is no need to choose someone who is too beautiful, identity, manners, and character are the most important. Moreover, the father of Ulanala is also considered a minister with a good face in front of Kangxi, even if his father is old. How old is Ulanala?
This older brother is quite useful. With such a family background, Yinzhen must be very satisfied.
The fourth elder brother asked tentatively: "So Ru Yan Ge Ge..."
Wen Xi was troubled by this niece. She didn't know anything about history, otherwise she wouldn't have tried every means to connect the Ulanara family with the third elder brother. She also proudly said that her own Ama was her immediate boss.
Oh! Ruyan has forgotten that Linge has three daughters. She is the only one born as a concubine. Fei Yanggu is the only daughter, and she is still a legitimate daughter. She is not necessarily nobler than the Ulanala clan!
It was natural for the fourth elder brother to choose the Uranala family. Ruyan's out-of-the-box temperament had long disgusted the fourth elder brother. Even if she was of high birth, the fourth elder brother would not have wronged him so much! And the fourth elder brother would not fail to see that Wen
Xi likes Wanjing but doesn't like Ruyan. Even if she chooses Ruyan, it won't be of much use!
Wen Xi asked the fourth brother to see Ulanara, but Yan was just a foil, and her rudeness and rudeness further highlighted Ulanara's decency. In fact, Ulanara was one of Kangxi's favorite candidates.
Secretly asked Wen Xi to observe, Peng Chun's daughter was also one of them, and there were several princesses with good backgrounds. But the best ones were naturally the Dong E family and the Ulanala family. Concubine Rong obviously took a fancy to them.
The Dong E clan and the Ulanala clan will naturally belong to Yinzhen.
As usual, it was naturally after Kangxi had finished selecting the prince that it was his turn. However, there was also a compromise, that is, the ladies of each palace could summon the beautiful ladies and show them to their sons secretly. Kangxi naturally turned a blind eye.
Close one eye.
The palace selection started with the full military flag. Neither the Queen Mother nor Kangxi came. Wen Xi presided over it, and the fourth concubine assisted. Those who need to be retained are those who have fulfilled the decision. In fact, the selection is basically based on family background. Don't be too sorry for everyone's appearance.
That’s it! Ruyan was naturally one of the candidates, and she loved to be in the limelight. She looked like she was going to overwhelm all the beautiful women! Everyone was afraid that Ruyan was the niece of the imperial concubine, so they didn’t dare
How did he treat her? So even though Ruyan did a lot of mindless things during her stay at Chuxiu Palace, she still reached the palace selection stage smoothly.
After all, she was her niece, and Wen Xi couldn't give her a sign, so she just left a sign asking her to choose again in three years. Anyway, she was only thirteen years old, so there was no harm in waiting for three years. This time, because she wanted to be married, she left a sign.
There are many Manchu princesses with high family backgrounds: Dong E, the daughter of the Yongqin Gong Pengchun, Uranala, the niece of the internal minister Fei Yanggu, Niu Hulu, the daughter of the internal minister Linge, the bodyguard of Duke Chengen, and so on.
Those who should keep their names should keep their names, and those who should give up their names should leave their names. Knowing that Ruyan would be re-elected after three years, Yi Fei came to visit.
On the day of the palace election, when the Mongolian military flag was being chosen, the Queen Mother also appeared, as if she was choosing a granddaughter-in-law for herself. Wen Xi knew why Concubine Yi was like this! So Concubine Yi was unwilling to give in. She naturally didn't like those things.
The bright and fierce Mongolian Princess always felt that she had failed her son, so after the draft, she brought her fifth elder brother to pay her respects.
The fifth elder brother was born in the 18th year of Kangxi. When the fifth elder brother was born, Yi Fei was still a concubine. The foundation of the harem was unstable. She was afraid that she would not be able to protect her son, so she sent him to be raised by the Queen Mother. Now the fifth elder brother has been taught by the queen mother.
Concubine Yi was very distressed because she could no longer speak Chinese. She wanted to find a noble-born Fujin for herself, so she set her sights on Duke Chengen and took over Ruyan, the eldest daughter of Linge, the minister of bodyguards.
The fifth elder brother was twelve years old, still a big boy, and behaved a little shyly. After meeting Yi Fei, he looked at Wen Xi with a blushing face, and said in his usual Manchu dialect: "Your Majesty... Ru Yan
Damn her..." Then, she blushed even harder.
Wen Xi is a little dizzy. Is it possible that the fifth elder brother has fallen in love with Ruyan? Ruyan is indeed a pretty girl, and she can also speak well. When she smiles, there are dimples on her face. It is inevitable for a pure boy like the fifth elder brother to meet her.
I have a good feeling in my heart, I am lustful and admire Shao Ai!
Concubine Yi hurriedly smiled and said: "Yinqi, Ruyan is the niece of the imperial concubine. Based on her age, you should call her cousin."
Come on, is it possible that even Concubine Yi has taken a fancy to her?
Yinqi is an obedient big boy with a shy temperament, very well-behaved and sensible, and he doesn't like to talk much. It's just that Yinqi was raised by the Queen Mother, not to mention that he is still too young, even if he is old enough
, it is the Queen Mother who makes the decision. Why should Concubine Yi be anxious?
There was a look of embarrassment on Yinqi's face, "Cousin Ruyan...she is a very nice person! Cousin Saren is also good, but cousin Ruyan is even better! Even cuter!" When she is shy or excited, she becomes even less so.
Speak!
"Saren?" Wen Xi was confused, but the name sounded familiar. It sounded like a Mongolian name, meaning the moon.
Concubine Yi lamented slightly and said: "Saren Gege is Horqin's Gege, the grand-niece of the Queen Mother."
After the draft, the Queen Mother kept a favorite Horqin Gege to accompany her. The meaning could not be more obvious. She must have wanted to let this Saren Gege cultivate a relationship with the fifth elder brother and get married in two years. This move by Kangxi
She also acquiesced, so Concubine Yi became anxious!
The fifth elder brother is more filial to the Queen Mother, and Concubine Yi will inevitably be a bit picky. Now if he marries Horqin's Gege, will his son still have a place for him in his heart? Although Ruyan has a bad temper, the Saren Gege must not be any better.
Where to go, Concubine Yi has no choice but to balance the two evils and try to get the lesser of them!
Concubine Yi immediately smiled and said: "If Yan Gege is a cheerful and lively person, it would be great if she could go to the palace more often to accompany the imperial concubine!"
She didn't want Ruyan to accompany her, but she clearly wanted Ruyan to see her fifth elder brother more often! Wenxi couldn't refuse her for a while, so she said: "You have to ask the emperor about this matter, Concubine Yi, what do you think?
Right?" If Kangxi also agreed with the Queen Mother to find a Borjijit Fujin for Yinzhi, Wenxi would have no choice.
Concubine Yi Ruo said with deep meaning: "As long as the imperial concubine is willing to speak, how can the emperor not allow it?"
Wenxi just smiled. Yinqi is indeed a good boy. If Ruyan can marry her, it will be her destiny. The only thing she is afraid of is that Ruyan is too ambitious. Her goal has always been the fourth elder brother. If Baoqi fails, he will do something terrible.
As for the son, Wen Xi didn't dare to vouch for it, so she could only muddle through it. In fact, if it could come true, Wen Xi would be happy to do so. She would have an explanation for her eldest brother, and it would also be an honor for the Niu Hulu family, but I'm afraid
If Yan refuses to cooperate!
After the draft was over, the marriage was granted. This time, Kangxi's harem only had a few symbolically added beautiful girls with Han military flags. They all agreed, which made all the concubines heave a sigh of relief. Especially the young concubines.
Concubine, what I fear most is my new favorite. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
