The Thirteenth Prince, Please Kneel Down

Everyone says the Thirteenth Prince is dashing, handsome, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and the dream lover of countless young ladies. But when it comes to Zhaojia Heyue, she dismiss...

Chapter 434 Ignorant of Heaven and Earth's Immaturity

Heyue didn't take her sixth sister's words to heart: "It doesn't matter who goes, the important thing is to drive Tsewang Arabtan out of Tibet."

He spoke eloquently and politely, using high-sounding words.

Yan Yue knew Seventh Sister's personality all too well. So she curled her lip and glanced at her with disdain: "How could you say such a thing? I didn't know you had become such a righteous person?"

"Should we really be so indignant about something like this? The decision rests with the Emperor, not with the Thirteenth Prince, and certainly not with any of the other princes. Instead of worrying about such things, we should just live our own lives." He Yue's tone was very relaxed and indifferent.

Yan Yue nodded in agreement: "That makes sense, but I wonder if the Fourteenth Prince can win the battle. Is the Fourteenth Prince more capable than my brother-in-law?"

It's funny and pleasant to say that this kind of thing is neither impressive nor not impressive.

Historically, the Fourteenth Prince was able to win a series of battles in a few years and drive out Tsewang Arabtan. This was certainly not just due to luck; he must have had military talent himself.

There is no doubt about that.

Otherwise, Emperor Kangxi would not have chosen the Fourteenth Prince.

It's not that the Fourteenth Prince was necessarily better than the Thirteenth Prince. As for why Kangxi abandoned the Thirteenth Prince and chose the Fourteenth Prince, Heyue wasn't a mind reader, so how could she know whether Kangxi was biased towards the Fourteenth Prince or had other ideas?

The thoughts of emperors are the most difficult to fathom.

"Xuanxuan, are you alright?" Fu Sengge's anxious voice came through.

He Yue and the other looked over and saw Tongxuan lying on the ground, biting her lip, her eyes filled with tears.

Fu Sengge helped Tongxuan up, his concern evident on his face.

When Sixth Sister and the others returned to Beijing, they brought Fu Sengge back with them.

After all, the child is growing up, and it's not good for him to stay with his grandmother any longer. They need to bring him back to the capital to plan for his marriage and future.

Thirteen-year-old Fu Sengge is tall and elegant, quite different from Yi Duli's tall and robust physique. Perhaps because he was raised by Wu Yunzhu, Fu Sengge has a handsome face, exuding the temperament of a scholar, yet he does not lack the heroic and uprightness of a man.

Standing next to the delicate Tongxuan, they looked quite like a perfect match.

After hearing Fu Sengge's words, Tongxuan shook her head, her lowered face flushed pink.

He Yue looked at the two of them, and a thought suddenly struck her.

Tongxuan is already twelve years old, and in a few more years she will be of marriageable age.

Yan Yue leaned closer to He Yue and whispered, "Why do I feel like they're a match made in heaven? Who do you think will end up picking this delicate flower of yours?"

Having understood the implication in her sixth sister's words, Heyue had no complaints.

Fu Sengge grew up with his uncle and aunt from a young age, so his character is beyond question. He is also the daughter of the sixth sister and the nephew of He Yue. He Yue can also see that Fu Sengge has always been very fond of Tong Xuan, and cares about her even more than he does about Tong Hui and Tong Ya.

Tongxuan and Fushengge are together, and Heyue is naturally at ease.

The only concern was that the two were cousins.

Marriage between close relatives is always inappropriate, but people in ancient times clearly did not have this concern.

"It's up to them; I don't really get involved," He Yue said with a smile, offering an ambiguous statement.

If they are both interested in each other, there's nothing to stop them from getting along.

If they were just like siblings, Heyue wouldn't have forced them together just to strengthen their family ties.

Yan Yue nodded with a smile: "Then I'm relieved. Anyway, your daughter is a hot commodity. Even if it's a marriage of convenience, I'll swallow my pride and get this marriage for my son. It's better to keep the good stuff in the family. It seems I need to give Fu Sengge a little pointers and tell him to work harder. As long as Xuanxuan is willing, no matter how outstanding others are, they won't have a chance, right?"

She was used to Sixth Sister's domineering logic, but Heyue was worried that Kangxi would disagree.

Heyue wasn't worried about Thirteen, after all, Heyue had already told Thirteen that they should decide their children's marriages themselves, and Thirteen didn't have any intention of forcing his daughter into a political marriage with someone else.

However, Kangxi was Tongxuan's maternal grandfather after all. Even if Kangxi didn't have the mind to take care of the marriages of every grandson and granddaughter, he would probably try his best to consider the political background of the other party.

In terms of surname, the Irgen Gioro clan is considered a prominent family, more than qualified to be a match for the eldest daughter of a Beile.

In terms of official rank, Fusengge's Mafa was once a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, holding a very high position, while Fusengge's Ama Yiduli is currently the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Although Fusengge does not hold an official position yet, he is still young. As the eldest son of Idurit, with such a background, his future is naturally not a concern.

With such a family background, he was a promising candidate to become the consort of a princess.

However, the marriages of royal children usually involve more than just these factors. Those with sufficient political backgrounds are not limited to the Irgen Gioro clan; sometimes, even the Mongol patronage is considered.

It all depends on the emperor's own attitude: whether he will choose one of the prominent Manchu clans or choose to pacify the Mongols.

Hopefully, Emperor Kangxi will love the thirteenth prince enough and will not choose to pacify the Mongols.

Heyue refused to let her daughter go to Fumeng.

Speaking of marriage, Tonghui is a few months older than Tongxuan. Although she is still young, she should already be choosing a husband.

He Yue thought of the prince consort Jingqili Shi whom she had dreamed of before. She decided that there was no need to consider him anymore and that she should find a better one.

Nowadays, the Thirteenth Prince's mansion is in unparalleled glory, and even a concubine's daughter deserves a decent family.

Daughters born out of wedlock are different from daughters born out of wedlock. Daughters born out of wedlock can be chosen by Heyue and the Thirteenth Prince, unlike daughters born out of wedlock who need the Emperor's approval.

"Has Ruoyu's marriage been arranged yet?" Heyue asked about this.

Ruoyu was the daughter of Zhang, a concubine of Yiduli. She failed to be selected in the imperial concubine selection in the 56th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and there has been no result since.
