Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
The imperial concubine selection, which was originally scheduled to be held in the twelfth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, was postponed for a year due to the abolition of the feudal system!
Fucha Yunrong had been on the run for a year, but by the thirteenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, she could no longer afford to live a carefree life. Mi Sihan, despite his busy schedule, hadn't forgotten to look for a son-in-law, but to no avail! All the men around his daughter's age were undesirable! How could he possibly allow his daughter to suffer such a fate?
He ultimately decided to wait until his daughter's audition results came out before considering anything else! He was even thinking of keeping his daughter with him for a few more years!
Fucha Yunrong learned a lot from the nanny. Because she was frightened the first time, she was mentally prepared later and felt that everything was okay! It wasn't so hard to accept!
For a while, Yinzhen didn't pay much attention to Fucha Yunrong. After all, a man should be busy with important matters!
It was only when he had some free time that he remembered Fucha Yunrong, so he summoned his secret guards to inquire about the situation!
"Your Majesty, this servant has not found anything unusual about Princess Fucha. Princess Fucha rarely goes out. Changyin and Changchun only said that Princess Fucha is very intelligent and learns things very quickly! Also, the Fucha family is still looking for a suitable husband for Princess Fucha!"
No wonder Yinzhen couldn't find anything on the surface. Yunrong was very cautious. Her logical thinking, cultivated over many years in the laboratory, would never allow anyone to find a loophole!
Yinzhen gave the order to keep a close watch. He believed that if there was a problem, it would eventually be exposed!
Yinzhen was starting to have a real conflict with Fucha Yunrong!
If Fucha Yunrong knew, she would definitely feel extremely wronged. All she did was fear smallpox, so she did some research on cowpox and provided some data. Why was she being investigated like this?
On the eve of the imperial concubine selection, several clever people in the palace gradually realized that the emperor was tired of the old guard in the palace and that fresh faces were needed to win him over.
So the masters started sending messages home, asking the clans to prepare suitable women to be sent for the selection!
A "suitable" woman is one who is good-looking and talented, but comes from a humble family and whose family needs to rely on the household for survival!
The Empress Dowager was getting anxious as two years had passed without any newborns in the palace. Therefore, she took this imperial concubine selection very seriously!
She wanted to choose a few fertile women for her grandson! She secretly sent Sumalagu to keep an eye on things and select as many fertile women as possible!
The Fucha family also had several close relatives and consorts. Before the selection of consorts, Uya started to make connections, not for any other reason than to make her daughter lose the selection!
Uya was just being cautious. It would be incredibly difficult for a girl to be selected, but it would be very easy to drop out. However, she was afraid that her daughter was too outstanding. If the higher-ups took a liking to her and kept her in the selection, where would she go to complain?
She couldn't bear to let her beautiful daughter get involved in palace intrigues!
After making some connections and obtaining approval from several wives of members of the imperial clan, Lady Wuya was finally relieved!
The imperial concubines were required to regularly visit the palace to pay their respects to the other concubines. However, due to her advanced age, the Empress Dowager rarely appeared when the imperial concubines came to pay their respects.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress shall decide whether to summon him!
Every year during the imperial concubine selection, there are some wealthy families who neither want their daughters to enter the palace nor the imperial family. They only hope to drop their bids during the final selection so they can go home and find their own spouses!
The royal family doesn't force these people; they just ask a member of the royal family to pass on a message, and in the end, most of them get what they want!
The imperial consort chosen by Lady Wuya was quite capable. Having accepted gifts from the Fucha family, she naturally handled matters more thoroughly and secretly obtained the approval of the Empress Dowager and the Empress!
Uya was relieved after receiving the news!
Yinzhen was aware of this matter, but he didn't organize anything about it. In the end, he would have to make the final decision on who to choose, and the opinions of the Empress and the Empress Dowager would only be used as a reference!
It's fine if the Rongfucha family is happy for a while!
While Uya felt relieved, she also felt that her daughter was staying at home too much. This couldn't go on. Her daughter had to go out and get some fresh air. Since her daughter didn't like to interact with people her own age, Uya thought of taking her out to relax!
So they set their sights on temples!
In ancient times, women from wealthy families often went to temples to pray for blessings. In order to accommodate worshippers, most temples were located in scenic spots with mountains and rivers, making them very suitable for people to relax and unwind!
Although Fucha Yunrong was a complete homebody, she did want to get some fresh air, so when her mother mentioned the plan to go to the temple, she readily agreed!
The most suitable temple around the capital was Tantuo Temple! So, Lady Wuya arranged to go to the temple to pray for blessings three days later! Lady Wuya not only prayed for peace, but also for a good husband for her daughter!
Fucha Yunrong simply wanted to go out and see the world!
After a period of busy work, Yinzhen finally had some free time. Hearing that Lady Wuya was planning to take Fucha Yunrong to Tantuo Temple to pray for blessings, Yinzhen decided to see for himself what kind of person this Fucha Yunrong, who did not exist in his previous life, really was!
Three days later, Lady Wuya took her daughter to Tantuo Temple to offer incense, and the emperor in the palace planned to leave the palace incognito for a private visit! However, the location of the private visit was a bit special, as it was Tantuo Temple, which was quite unique!
Uya led her daughter through the usual incense-offering process, and then Fucha Yunrong found it a bit boring. As a researcher, even though she had experienced time travel, she did not believe in ghosts and gods!
Yunrong pleaded with Wuya, "Mother, I want to go somewhere else to look around, is that alright?"
Uya knew her daughter's temperament well enough, and seeing that she was indeed very bored, she didn't restrain her!
However, since this wasn't her own home, Madam Wuya said with some concern, "Your mother won't restrict you, but don't forget to bring your nanny and maid with you. It's your first time here, so don't wander off!"
Fucha Yunrong smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I won't go far. I've heard that the scenery of the Xiangyuan on the left is very beautiful. I'd like to go and take a look!"
