Since Emperor Kangxi had come here, he must have been talking about more than just this matter. As the atmosphere in the room gradually warmed up, Consort Yi took Emperor Kangxi's hand and walked towards the bed curtains.

Emperor Kangxi picked up Consort Yi in his arms and walked over with steady steps. He was in the prime of his youth, and Consort Yi, with her arms around his neck and against his strong chest, couldn't help but blush.

The next day, Jingrou, who had just received the news, couldn't wait to go back and share it with her best friends.

Although no specific information was received, this one sentence was enough to calm her girlfriends down!

Instead of speaking directly, Jingrou called out Mingxuan and Minghui.

After all, there are still many people and eyes in this study. My aunt found out about this for me, and I immediately told others about it. What would happen if this got to the Emperor's ears?

Even though I was thinking of my friends, I couldn't let this cause trouble for my aunt!

"Thank you, Zhuzhu..." Mingxuan held her hand. It wasn't just her who was concerned about this matter; her mother was also very concerned about it... She had even started nagging her to pick up all her previous manners. However, because of the Emperor's lingering influence, she wouldn't go too far. Mingxuan was also very helpless about this, but after all, she was her mother, so there was nothing more she could say.

The mother was not favored, and because of what had happened before, she was afraid of the emperor, so she didn't dare to ask him. Instead, her friend found out about the matter.

Needless to say, Minghui, having spent the year in the palace, had already witnessed the fervent reaction from the people in Cining Palace to her being sent to Mongolia for a political marriage!

If she showed hesitation or refusal, what would the Empress Dowager think of her?

So this is something she can only worry about herself, but she has no way to tell anyone else!

Hearing Jingrou say that, she immediately felt much relieved.

Seeing how hastily and impatiently the people from Khorchin arrived, she was afraid that her father would arrange for them to be given away too soon.

Not to mention that they are still young and have no desire to leave the capital for the distant Gerqin.

Moreover, even if we were to arrange a marriage alliance with Mongolia in the future, we should at least take a long-term approach and let them carefully select their candidates, or perhaps we should cultivate a good relationship beforehand.

Speaking of herself, her mother has quite a few connections in Mongolia. She probably knows which family's sons are promising, or which prince's family has someone of similar age to her. However, whether the other party is related to her or not, or whether they are engaged in a marriage alliance, may require time to investigate and communicate.

Anyway, Mingxuan has been hearing this so many times that he's practically sick of it lately. But if it really has to be a marriage alliance, it's better to choose someone that his mother and father both approve of than to have an arranged marriage.

Minghui goes without saying; she was raised by the Empress Dowager's side and even had some familiarity with the nobles from Mongolia. She had met them before, whether at banquets or during the Mulan Autumn Hunt.

The Empress Dowager would certainly be willing to choose a suitable husband for her, but it all depended on whether there was enough time. Hearing Jingrou say this, Minghui was relieved, at least there was enough time!

Moreover, Minghui thought even more deeply. She felt that Khan Ama wasn't very enthusiastic about the marriage alliance and was putting on a rather arrogant attitude, especially since he hadn't given Khorchin a promise yet. Now that Jingrou was saying this, it was as if he was keeping them hanging on.

According to past practice, the Khan would not usually refuse a marriage alliance, at least that's what she heard from the palace.

However, in previous marriage alliances, most of the daughters who were married off were from the princely families of the Qing Dynasty. This was because the emperor was not very old at that time, and there were no princesses of similar age in the palace. Mingxuan and Minghui were among the first batch of daughters of the current emperor to come of age.

Jingrou waved her little hand, "It's okay if you can wait a little longer, I'll pick some out for you then!" She tilted her head back, with a slight double chin, and the whole doll was as soft as a little dough. Such a little doll, yet she said such things in a serious manner, which made Mingxuan laugh.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the two people opposite her. Jingrou was just such a girl, with her own principles but extremely kind to those around her. She would do her best in everything and take everything to heart, making people feel very warm-hearted.

"Great! When we're choosing a consort, we'll definitely need you to come and give us your advice!" She pulled Jingrou's hand.

This matter was found out by Consort Yi, but Consort Yi herself did not have a daughter, so she must have found out specifically for Jingrou and the others.

They cherish this sentiment alone.

The atmosphere in the study immediately became harmonious, and all the girls could feel it. They started talking more and more in the study, and it returned to its former cheerful and lively state.

Mingyue didn't know what had happened, but seeing that her two older sisters seemed more relaxed than usual, and the atmosphere in the study was different from before, she felt inexplicably upset. She pursed her lips tightly.

Well, now that things have come to this, they have to avoid me no matter what they do. They clearly don't consider me one of them. Why bother with all those hypocritical words they used to say!

She used to feel guilty for her previous estrangement, but now all that guilt has disappeared. It's clear that they were the ones who wronged her too!

They weren't exactly kind to me! Anyway, they don't tell me anything anymore...

******

Now that the Khorchin have sent people over, how could the other Mongol tribes possibly be willing to lag behind?

After so many years of intermarriage between the Manchus and Mongols, even if they didn't have the Empress Dowager's backing like the Khorchin, they still had their own network of connections!

However, it would take some time for the matter to be reflected back. But once they realized it, they all sent memorials to the capital, saying they wanted to come and pay their respects. They said a lot of nice things and finally explained their purpose: to send someone to the capital!

Once the emperor signaled his intention to arrange a marriage alliance, they were naturally unwilling to fall behind and wanted to hire another princess for their tribe!

Emperor Kangxi initially didn't want to pay attention, but since the Khorchin had come all this way, he couldn't show favoritism and risk those people starting to plot against each other, which would be detrimental to the stability of both sides.

Besides, they all came to give gifts, so why not take advantage of receiving gifts?

So Emperor Kangxi approved all the memorials in one go, allowing all the tribes to enter the capital!
