The Everyday Life of a Man Living by the Skin of His Teeth: A Qing Dynasty Reimagining

"Why only a one-month lifespan?" Ituma Shush felt shocked.

This is an alternate history Qing Dynasty novel with a cheat, multiple children, no romantic pairing (CP), and a slower pace...

Chapter 198 The Seventh Prince's Wedding

Although I don't know what he's actually like, it sounds really good.

Ituma Shushu said softly, "Ah, no wonder your Emperor held an archery competition that time."

Your father was probably considering the marriage of the fifth princess, Flora, back then.

The Seventh Prince, Hongzhao, nodded and said, "Yes, Father Emperor is farsighted; he must have been observing things back then."

"Mother, Father Emperor will also build a princess's residence for my fifth sister next to my fourth princess's residence."

Ituma Shushu was stunned for a moment before she came to her senses.

She hesitated and said, "Your fourth aunt, Princess Gulun Keqian, is the 'Sea Clam Princess'."

She is the most powerful among all your imperial aunts.

I've heard of her before!

She was originally Princess Heshuo Keqian, but the title of Princess Gulun Keqian was bestowed upon her by your Emperor after he ascended the throne.

Unfortunately, she passed away more than ten years ago.

So, is your Emperor planning to build another princess's residence in Guihua City?

"But Hongzhao, how did you know?"

The tenth prince, Honghao, quickly said, "Mother, Father Emperor picked us up at noon today and took us to Jiuzhou Qingyan to have lunch with him."

The eleventh prince, Hongyao, continued, "Yes, after we finished lunch, Father Emperor took Seventh Brother to the study to check his homework."

Ituma Shushu looked at the Seventh Prince Hongzhao with some surprise.

The Seventh Prince Hongzhao nodded and continued, "Mother, it was Father Emperor who told me."

Upon hearing this, Ituma Shushu's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly asked, "Then can you tell us?"

The Seventh Prince Hongzhao knew what his mother was worried about, and his heart warmed. He said softly, "It's alright, Mother, you don't need to worry."

The Emperor said he would issue another imperial edict tomorrow regarding the construction of the Princess's residence.

"And I've already asked Father Emperor, so I can tell Mother and my younger brothers about this."

Ituma Shushu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what her seventh brother Hongzhao said.

Then, she asked doubtfully, "Is that Khalkha Mongol Zasatu Khanate not far from where Princess Gulun Keqian married?"

My mother wasn't very familiar with these Mongol tribes.

Upon hearing this, the Eighth Prince Hongxu immediately said, "Mother, the Fourth Princess also married into the Khalkha Mongols."

Ninth Prince Hongxuan nodded and interjected, "Mother, the Khalkha Mongols are composed of four tribes: the Tushetu Khanate, the Zasagtu Khanate, the Chechen Khanate, and the Sain Noyan Khanate."

The fourth princess married into the Tushetu Khanate, while the fifth princess was to marry into the Zasagtu Khanate.

After listening to their conversation, Ituma Shushu said softly, "Oh, I see!"

No wonder your Emperor Father decided to build another princess's residence for the Fifth Princess, Flana, next to the one for Princess Gulun Keqian.

Then Ituma Shushu added, "Uh."

However, your father, the Emperor, must have many things to consider.

This matter is definitely not as simple as Mother thinks.

Mother thought that since they were both marrying down to the Khalkha Mongols, and your fourth princess had a princess's residence before.

Now, even the Fifth Princess, Flora, needs a princess's residence!

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince Hongzhao's eyes flickered.

Then, he smiled and said, "Mother, you're not wrong to think that way."

The Emperor also doted on his fifth sister.

Now that the Emperor has made the decision, the Fifth Princess will marry into the Khalkha Mongol tribe.

Similarly, Father Emperor will not mistreat Fifth Princess.

Ituma Shushu looked at the Seventh Prince Hongzhao speechlessly and said, "Alright, Hongzhao."

"Now that you say that, Mother knows you're trying to comfort her."

Seventh Prince Hongzhao: "..."

Well, my mother has always been like this.

Sometimes they're just a little easy to fool.

Sometimes they react very quickly and are not easily fooled.

Hahahaha...

Hahahaha...

It turned out that the Eighth Prince Hongxu and the Ninth Prince Hongxuan had heard what Ituma Shushu said.

Seeing their seventh brother's embarrassed expression, the two of them couldn't help but laugh.

...

That evening, Ituma Shushu returned to her bedchamber to rest.

However, she was not sleepy at the moment and tossed and turned in bed.

Ituma Shushu was actually thinking about what happened today regarding the fifth princess, Flana.

Back then, she always thought that the establishment of "Jing Shu Ge" was just the result of the combined efforts of the Empress, Consort Yu, and Consort Ning.

In retrospect, Emperor Yongzheng may have simply gone with the flow back then.

At that time, Emperor Yongzheng probably didn't have any concrete plans yet.

However, as Princess Flana grew up...

Emperor Yongzheng must have had some other plans.

After all, among the three princesses, the fifth princess, Flora, was the most intelligent.

Well, let's put it this way.

Among Emperor Yongzheng's three daughters.

The seventh princess, Alchuka, was rather ordinary.

Princess Taifeng was extremely skilled in horsemanship and archery, and she also had an exceptionally cheerful personality, very much in the style of a Mongolian princess.

Princess Flana, the fifth princess, was not only exceptionally intelligent but also had a reserved and calm personality.

Moreover, although her horsemanship and archery skills were not as good as those of the Sixth Princess Taifeng, they were still quite good within the "Jingshu Pavilion".

Then think of Princess Gulun Keqian from the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

I wonder what special instructions Emperor Yongzheng would give to the Fifth Princess, Flora?

Next, Ituma Shushu thought about it for a while.
