At this time, suddenly Li Dequan reported in a low voice outside the screen: "Your Majesty, the fourth princess is outside asking for an audience."
The fourth princess is Aixinjueluo Shulan, who was just named Princess Heshuo by Kangxi.
Kangxi glanced at Wen Xi first and said without even thinking, "Just say I'm taking a rest."
Wen Xi rolled her eyes, and she had the nerve to say "take a rest" to her daughter? In the concubine's palace, it's not at night or during lunch break, so "take a rest"?! Wen Xi's face suddenly became dry.
With her reputation for showing off prostitution in daylight, she might be able to hit the wall, so she said: "I haven't seen Princess Shulan for a long time."
Li Dequan squeezed the gold ingot he just got in his sleeve. It was quite heavy, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Princess Shulan is here to express her gratitude."
"Thank you?" Kangxi commented on these two words with interest, "Just ask her to come in."
"Hey!" Li Dequan has always loved money. It should be said that all eunuchs love money, but when it comes to taking people's money and doing things with them, Li Dequan is more professional.
After a while, a graceful woman came in. She was undoubtedly Princess Shulan. Shulan inherited her appearance from her mother, but she was a little more heroic, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She looked very good. She came in and bowed.
, laughed loudly: "Shulan wishes to express his regards to Emperor Ama, and to express his regards to your noble mother and concubine!"
Wen Xi really didn't understand why Kangxi didn't like this daughter, and didn't hear what Concubine Yi was doing, but Kangxi just didn't want to see this daughter. Shulan was indeed not as good as other princesses, either cute or delicate, or good-looking.
He is somewhat masculine and has a very sunny look. But such a child will not make people unhappy, right?
Shulan's wedding date was set in November, which is indeed not a good time. It is very cold in Beijing in November, not to mention Khalkha. But Shulan's face looked like an ordinary woman who is about to leave the court.
No, it should be said that it is more joyful than the ordinary daughter's family, but it is a little less shy than the girl in the boudoir.
Wen Xi saw that Kangxi was looking at Princess Shulan very carefully, without even a hint of a smile on her face. But Shulan still smiled a lot, knelt down and kowtowed, "My daughter heard that Prince Dundobu Dorji
Young and heroic, I came here to express my gratitude to Emperor Ama!"
Prince Dundob Dorji is the future husband of Princess Shulan. He is the prince of the Khalkha tribe. He only made a lot of achievements in the Kangxi expedition to Galdan. Last year, he sent people to Beijing to ask for the princess of the Qing Dynasty to marry him.
Kangxi went ahead and asked Shulan to marry him. Who kind of person was Dunduobu Dorji? She was so gentle and gentle. It was just that no princess would be sad when she married far away, but Shulan didn't complain at all. This is really true.
It can be considered as a profound understanding of righteousness.
Seeing Kangxi, he didn't ask the princess to get up. Wen Xi smiled and said: "I may not have seen Princess Shulan for a long time, but I always feel that she is still the little girl with a pinky memory!" Before leaving the palace, Wen Xi still had some time to relax.
Lan was a little girl who didn't like to cry or laugh a few times, and she was pretty cute. After returning to the palace, maybe because of Concubine Yi's strict control, she became less and less seen. Now she is a nineteen-year-old girl.
Then he ordered: "Hurry and bring an embroidery pier for the princess."
Shulan looked at Kangxi and said, "Thank you, Emperor Ama. Thank you, noble mother and concubine." Then she stood up and sat down on the embroidery pier beside her. After observing all the etiquette, she smiled and said to Wen Xi, "Shu Lan has been waiting for a long time too."
I don’t see you anymore, but your concubine is still young. Shulan has grown up, but I think you are younger!"
Wen Xi really didn't understand why Kangxi didn't like such a sweet-tongued princess, so she pursed her lips and smiled: "I am already over thirty, so I am already a maiden!"
"My mother and concubine say such nonsense!" Shu Lan said with a tone of reproach, "Shu Lan said something disrespectful. If my mother and concubine and I stand together, others will only say that we are more like sisters!"
Kangxi, however, never looked very happy. He only had a solemn face and suddenly reprimanded: "Now that you know it is disrespectful, don't say such words in the future."
Shu Lan couldn't help but look embarrassed, lowered her head and said: "Daughter, I remember, thank you Huang Ama for your teaching."
Wen Xi became more and more surprised. Kangxi treated his daughter differently from his son. Although he was strict with his son, he was quite lenient towards his daughter whether he doted on him or not. However, Wen Xi couldn't believe his attitude towards Shu Lan.
What happened to the Qing Dynasty? It suddenly occurred to me that Kangxi's cold treatment of Shulan was even worse when he asked for marriage from Prince Dundobudorji, so that he only named Shulan Princess Heshuo, but did not give her a title.
Kangxi said in a deep voice: "Dun Dob Dorji is indeed young and brave, but his infatuation surprised me even more. If he hadn't suddenly asked for marriage, I didn't know that he had known you well!"
Wen Xi was suddenly surprised. One was far away in Khalkha and the other was in the inner courtyard of the palace. How could they know each other so well?!
Shu Lan hurriedly stood up, lowered her head and said: "My daughter only met her by chance when she was out of the palace to visit her grandfather. It's just acquaintance, not acquaintance!"
It was summer before I knew it. She was wearing a silk blouse and a soft silk flag jacket, all of which were cool materials. There was an ice basin in the hall, and she was shaking a fan in her hand. She didn't feel hot at all.
Seeing Shu Lan trying her best to speak, beads of sweat broke out on her forehead. Her eyes were sincere and a little frightened, showing how pitiful her little daughter was, "My daughter was not expecting Prince Dundobu Dorji to ask for marriage!
"
Kangxi's face was filled with a certain displeasure, and he seemed to have no intention of listening to her explanation anymore. He only said: "You only need to do what a Qing princess should do!"
Shulan lowered her head silently, and only said, "Daughter, please remember." She raised her head slightly, her brows furrowed with a trace of unnoticeable sadness, but she looked at Wen Xi, "My daughter is about to marry far away, but only
The one I’m worried about is my biological mother.” After saying that, he knelt down and kowtowed deeply, “I would also like to ask Emperor Ama and the noble concubine to take care of my mother.”
I also knew that the Guo family would not have an easy life under Concubine Yi. The Guo family was not a smart person, she just wanted to get the concubine position but could not get it. After the Wei family was canonized, she made evil remarks, which made Kangxi even more disgusted.
But as far as Shu Lan is concerned, Guo is her biological mother.
"If you are sensible, she will be well!" Kangxi's words had a different meaning. "After the war in Khalkha and Mongolia, everything is waiting for improvement. You might as well go and comfort yourself. Dun Dob Dorji
Since I have fallen in love with you, I must be willing to listen to you!"
Comfort? But Wen Xi could tell that it was more than just comfort. Kangxi hoped that Shulan could control Dun Dob Dorji and then control Khalkha Mongolia. It was just women participating in politics, although it was not as taboo in Mongolia as it was in the Central Plains.
It's just that the Mongols are xenophobic, so Shulan's path will certainly not be easy.
Shu Lan bowed her head respectfully and said, "My daughter understands that she will never disappoint the Emperor."
Kangxi hummed and said, "Your dowry will not be inferior to that of other princesses. Just prepare for your marriage with peace of mind." After saying this, Kangxi asked Shu Lan to leave.
Wen Xi thought about it for thousands of times before she came up with a word: "Princess Haibing". Haibing means participating in politics. The princesses of the Qing Dynasty who married in Mongolia actually had the right to participate in politics to some extent, but the power they gained was often
When she was very young, the princesses did not adapt to the life in Mongolia, and most of them died at a young age. How to talk about participating in politics? But Shulan was not a weak woman, so later generations called her the "Princess of the Sea Clam", and she had a lot of love with her husband.
Budorji helped with government affairs in Guihua City and was very talented in politics.
Wen Xi said in a gentle voice: "Why doesn't the emperor give the princess a title? Other princesses have titles, but she doesn't..."
Kangxi pondered: "I have told you before that Shulan is different from the other princesses. It is also because I have not noticed her ability! It is just a one-sided relationship, and I can ask Dun Dob Dorji to marry me..."
As he said that, Danfeng narrowed his eyes.
Wen Xi chuckled and said, "Maybe it really was love at first sight?"
Kangxi snorted slightly and said: "Dun Dobdorji is brave and good at fighting, but not good at resourcefulness. He is also obsessed with martial arts and never pays attention to women. Therefore, he has not married a wife at the age of twenty-three. But Shulan is just the opposite.
I can control him with a mere friendship, so I have to be careful! If she behaves peacefully, I will seal her again in the future."
Wen Xi was speechless for a moment. For the princess, it was natural to hold her husband in the palm of her hand so that she could be stable in the future. Shu Lan's move was understandable, but Kangxi was afraid of such a "skill" after all.
In this way, Wen Xi didn't say much anymore. News came from the fourth elder brother's house that his concubine Li had given birth to a son. The fourth elder brother immediately asked Li to be named Fujin. According to the custom of the Kangxi Dynasty, the prince's clan had a direct descendant named Fujin.
No matter how high the title is, as long as they are not princes, there can only be two Fujins at most. It is reasonable to be granted the title of Fujin because of the birth of a son, and Kangxi would not do it.
The fourth elder brother disobeyed him on this little thing, so he agreed with a stroke of his pen.
Unlike his concubine Fujin and his concubines, Zhou Fujin was qualified to visit the palace regularly to pay his respects. Therefore, Wen Xi could always see Si Fujin and would take Li Xifujin to the palace to pay his respects to Cining Palace on every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
Occasionally she would come back to Wenxi's palace to sit and sit. Ulanara was grateful that Wenxi kept her mother and son safe, so she would come often.
Wen Xi was chatting with Ulanara, and Li obediently did not interrupt indiscriminately. She was not dressed too gorgeously and did not steal Ulanara's limelight at all. She seemed to be an extremely submissive person.
"How are Honghui these days?" Wen Xi asked as usual, "I heard that he vomited milk a few days ago?"
Ulanara's face showed maternal love, and she said softly: "It's okay, the child will spit up milk, and I'm worried about you. I will bring this child to show you to your concubine another day..." He said
Then he looked at Mrs. Li who was extremely submissive beside her, and said: "The second brother born to sister Li is also very cute."
After all, the Li family was a concubine, and she had a name no more than Honghui's full moon. The Li family's child was almost two months old, but Kangxi had no intention of giving him a name. It seemed that he wanted the fourth elder brother to name it himself. So he had no choice but to
Call me Second Brother.
She smiled warmly and said, "That's because you have good judgment. When you selected Ms. Li, you said she would be easy to give birth to. Now she is indeed easy to give birth to."
There was a flash of embarrassment on Ulanara's face. How could she really want to find a good concubine for her husband? But seeing that Li was from a low background and posed no threat to herself, she chose her. What if she actually led a wolf into the house? Thinking of her
The child was born prematurely, almost damaging both mother and child, and it was almost impossible to hide her hatred.
When Wenxi saw Ulanala's tightly held hands under her sleeves, she knew that Ulanala and Li were not as kind and submissive as they appeared on the surface, as if they were sisters. Wenxi also knew that there was discord inside.
I can figure it out, but it’s not convenient to say it out loud. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
