The Borjijit family of Liufu Jin Dynasty gave birth to a son last winter, and the emperor named him Yongjin. The day before yesterday, the family of three went to the palace to pay their respects, and Concubine Mi was very envious at that time.
Seeing Concubine Mi's face filled with the joy of becoming a grandma, Shu Jin couldn't help but be happy for her. In the past, Li Qingyi, who was subjected to many hardships by the filial empress and could not even keep her daughter, is now about to have a grandchild...
Shu Jin couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Hongxin is safe and happy today, and she has some credit for it!
There was a burst of laughter in the palace, but at this moment, Zhang Shoufa walked in with a solemn look and said to Qian'er: "Your Majesty, the emperor has just issued a decree to confer the title of Princess Heshuo on the third princess, and also gave her the title...'Huairou'."
In an instant, the smiles on Shu Jin's and Mi Fei's faces disappeared.
Huairou! Even a fool knows what these two words mean!
Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, hasn’t it been the policy of Huairou and Mongolia?
Shu Jin said sternly: "Go and find out if Horqin or a prince from some tribe has come to Beijing."
"嗻!"
Zhang Shoufa responded and left.
Concubine Mi whispered: "How come there was no news at all beforehand? Sister Guifei, didn't the emperor mention this to you beforehand?"
Shu Jin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although he also guessed that the third princess was about to get married, he didn't expect it. The emperor suddenly issued the decree. Although it was not a marriage, the princesses of this dynasty always added titles before marriage.
Not to mention the word "Huairou", I'm afraid it won't be long before the marriage decree comes down.
Concubine Mi frowned and said, "I thought the emperor would ask you about the third princess's marriage."
Shu Jin spread his hands and said: "I am neither my biological mother nor my adoptive mother. Your Majesty does not need to inform me in advance." But Concubine Mao... I am afraid she doesn't know about it either! Otherwise, Concubine Mao would have come here long ago.
Found her.
The two looked at each other and sighed. They were both dissatisfied with the emperor's move, but they didn't dare to express it openly.
Shu Jin and Concubine Mi were wondering whether it would be the Horqin tribe, the Khalkha tribe, or the Bahrain tribe... The eunuch Xiao Yantai hurriedly came to report: "Empress Mao Fei and the third princess are here."
Obviously coming after hearing the news, Shu Jin quickly said: "Let them in quickly!"
After a while, Concubine Mao was told to move hurriedly, and the third princess Fengkli Yierha even had tears in her eyes. The two of them greeted her as a noble concubine together. Before Shu Jin could give her a seat, Fengkli burst into tears.
Made a sound.
"Your concubine! Is Khan Amma going to marry to Mongolia?!" Feng Keli immediately fell on Shu Jin's lap, crying so hard that he almost couldn't stop crying.
Concubine Mao also burst into tears, "My dear concubine, the emperor has always respected you, do you know anything about this matter?"
Shu Jin sighed and shook his head: "I was also shocked when I suddenly heard about the decree. But don't worry, maybe the emperor just chose a noble son of the vassal Mengxun in Beijing as his son-in-law."
As she said that, she took out her handkerchief and wiped Fengkli's tears, "The matter hasn't been decided yet, so don't cry in a hurry."
But if the Sacred Heart has been determined, even if Funkri sheds tears, there is no hope of getting the emperor to change his mind.
Concubine Mao was so anxious that she said, "But I heard that several tribes from Mongolia have recently come to Beijing!"
Shu Jin's heart skipped a beat, what a coincidence?
From now on, it is likely that Fengkeli will marry far away from Fu Meng.
Fengkli's tears rolled down her face again, "Your Majesty, I don't want to marry far away from Mongolia! I don't want to leave E Niang!"
Concubine Mao felt heartbroken when she heard that. This was the daughter she had raised under her knees since she was a baby! It was bitterly cold outside the Great Wall, and Feng Keli had been pampered since he was a child. How could he get used to living by the water?!
Shu Jin was also helpless, "I have sent someone to inquire. Let's not rush. Let's inquire clearly before talking."
Zhang Shoufa acted very quickly and came back before noon, "The four princes of Horqin, Karaqin, Bahrain and Khalkha have arrived in Beijing. At this moment, Honglu Temple is preparing for a banquet of Fan and Mongolia."
Shu Jin hurriedly asked: "Are these four unmarried noble sons of the same status and age?"
Zhang Shoufa bowed and said: "Horqin has a Taiji, and the eldest son of Khalkha, Dorji Sebuteng, is already twenty and has not married yet."
Shu Jin's heart sank to her core. She raised her hand and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
"Hey!" Zhang Shoufa knew that the imperial concubine wanted to have some private words with the two empresses and the princess, so he led the maids and eunuchs below and filed out.
As soon as the door of the inner hall was closed, Concubine Mao gritted her teeth and said: "I haven't married yet at twenty, so it's clear that I want to marry the princess!"
Concubine Mi also whispered: "I vaguely remember that Tenzin Dorji, the wise and brave prince of Khalkha, visited the capital a few years ago to pay homage. At first, he seemed to want to marry Princess Hehui."
Shu Jin's face turned dark. This Yongzheng was unwilling to marry his brother's daughter, so now he wants to marry his own daughter?!
Concubine Mi quickly said: "But this is just a rumor and cannot be taken seriously. Which of these Fanmeng tribes doesn't want to marry a princess?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "If the marriage proposal had been successful, the emperor would not have made Hehui a princess, but a princess."
Concubine Mi was silent for a moment.
Feng Keli was already in tears, "I don't want... I won't marry!"
Looking at this confused and helpless child, what could Shu Jin do? He could only comfort him again and again, "The marriage has not been granted yet. Maybe it is Horqin's Taiji. If it is just a Taiji, leaving him in the capital is just a word from the emperor."
thing."
"If the emperor is willing, it is not impossible to ask Prince Zhiyong to stay in Beijing as an errand." Shu Jin added.
After all, Mongolia today is not what it used to be. Horqin did not dare to challenge the emperor, let alone the Khalkha tribe. The prince did not get married until he was twenty years old, and his desire to marry was still strong. There were girls in the family, and hundreds of families wanted to marry him.
Since you want to come to your home, the woman can naturally make conditions.
Concubine Mao smiled bitterly: "It would be fine if it were the other sons of Prince Tenzin Dorji. This is the crown prince and will inherit the Khalkha tribe in the future."
Shu Jin was silent for a moment and then said: "Then it depends on whether the emperor feels sorry for Feng Keli."
Yongzheng's imperial power has reached its peak, and his authority is extremely strong. As long as he wants to, he will not be unable to do even this little thing.
Concubine Mao felt even more bitter in her heart. If the emperor was willing to keep the Prince of Khalkha in the capital for the sake of Feng Keli, then he could just refer to an ordinary descendant of the Mongolian feudal vassal. This way he could flaunt the ancestral system of Manchu-Mongolian marriage without having to be harsh on the wise and brave.
Prince and son.
Shu Jin naturally understood that there was little hope, but thinking that it was already the 22nd year of Yongzheng, there was still more than a year left...
"If you can stay, stay. If you can't, just find ways to delay." If Yongzheng is delayed to death, then everything will be easier to handle.
Concubine Mao understood the connotation of the noble concubine and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm afraid that the emperor's holy heart is too firm." If he can neither stay nor delay, then Feng Keli will go to the Khalkha tribe.
Concubine Mao felt heartbroken just thinking about the scene of separation between mother and daughter!
