"Chunyu, in a little while, go to the princess's residence and summon Buer and Dai to me."
Xiu Ning hadn't forgotten what Kangxi had told her last night.
Taking advantage of the fact that Emperor Kangxi was currently in court and had not yet issued any decrees, Xiuning planned to speak with Bu'er and Dai first, so that the boy would at least have some idea of what to expect.
Otherwise, you might suddenly hear such news and feel overwhelmed, then start thinking about this and that all day long, which is bad for your health.
Boole and Dai: ...
Bu'er and Dai thought that their mother had wronged her; she really didn't have as many ulterior motives as Xiu Ning thought.
It's mainly about Boer and Dai. Unlike her other siblings, she is particularly self-aware.
Unfortunately, Bu'er and Dai were not as self-aware as their fourth brother, Yinlu, who spent his entire life as a spoiled brat.
Boole and Dai are very pragmatic and self-aware. They accept things without hesitation when necessary, ensuring that they do not suffer maximum losses because of certain things.
Among the children, Xiuning felt that Ning Chuge's fighting spirit and ambition were very similar to that of the young Emperor Kangxi, who was unwilling to admit defeat and always wanted the best.
Yin Yi, on the other hand, was somewhat mediocre. Although he was smarter than his brothers, to be honest, he was not a particularly talented or impressive emperor.
Yinlu was smarter than Yinyi, but he was younger than Yinyi. In addition, he had always enjoyed life and could not endure hardship. Therefore, he gave up his desire to fight for power and profit early on.
Because Yinlu was divorced early, Xiuning did not have as strict requirements for him in other aspects as she did for Yinyi.
You see, once people lose their vigilance, they gradually become mediocre as their mindset changes.
Yinlu spent his days indulging in eating, drinking, and merrymaking, living the life of a spoiled brat. Over time, even his clever mind could not withstand such extravagance and depletion.
And so, Yinlu lost his spirit and truly became a typical spoiled brat.
Boer and Dai are the youngest of the four children, and because of their childhood health problems, they received extra attention from Xiuning.
From a young age, Bu'er and Dai understood their situation and physical condition, so she gave up much earlier than Yinlu. However, because she was a daughter, she was naturally shrewd in considering other aspects.
Boer and Dai would never do something they knew was impossible.
At this moment, Bu'er and Dai were invited over by Chunyu. The first thing they asked their mother was if their marriage had run into trouble again.
Xiuning: ...
"You silly child, has someone been gossiping about you?"
Xiuning sat up, her voice calm, but there was a momentary tension in her whole being.
Buer and Dai quickly shook their heads. "Mother, I'm not stupid. Father Emperor just left this morning. I can guess what happened."
The Emperor rarely stayed overnight at Qixiang Palace; whenever he did, it was always for some reason.
At this critical juncture, the problem either lies with me or with my two older brothers. As for my older sister, who lives further away, even if she has a problem, it won't affect them.
Xiu Ning nodded and said, "I won't lie to you, it was your father who said that there's a small problem in the Fucha clan. If your marriage isn't arranged in advance, it might be postponed."
So we decided to move the wedding forward and hold it in November of this year.
The imperial decree should be issued in the next couple of days.
Xiu Ning's words left Bu Er and Dai speechless. The wedding was being moved up? Yes, it caught them somewhat off guard.
“Mother, could it be that someone in the direct line of the Fucha clan is involved?” Buer and Dai covered the corner of their mouths, feeling that this was very likely.
Xiuning reached out and tapped Bu'er and Dai's heads, "Don't talk nonsense."
"No matter what, your mother won't let you suffer any losses." Whether it's the dowry or the scale and ceremony, Xiu Ning's daughter deserves the best.
Bu'er and Dai smiled brightly; they believed their mother's words.
After briefly discussing the marriage with Bu'er and Dai, Xiu Ning did not try to keep them any longer. Instead, she told Bu'er and Dai to return to the princess's residence and await her next steps.
As for what the arrangements were? Well, they were, of course, preparing the dowry and learning how to manage a household and control people.
Don't think that it's easy for a princess to get married. In order to ensure that she can live a comfortable life as a princess, Bu'er and Dai have to adopt an attitude of endless learning and seriously attend classes with Xiu Ning.
Ning Chuge was like that back then, and now Bu Er and Dai are no exception.
...
On the afternoon of the day that Bulhe Dai returned, Emperor Kangxi issued an imperial edict in the Qianqing Palace regarding Bulhe Dai's early marriage.
This decree can be considered as something that Kangxi and Empress Fucha had already tacitly agreed to; anyone else who thought about the reasons behind it would understand.
However, Yinyi and Yinlu were still dissatisfied, even though this matter did not harm Buer and Dai.
"You two have been busy running around the harem these days, you'd better stop now."
Xiuning always had a long face when she saw her two unlucky sons coming to Qixiang Palace, and she didn't want to look at them either.
Yin Yi smiled wryly, while Yin Lu scratched his head. Faced with their mother's disdain, the two brothers could only awkwardly touch their noses and dare not say another word.
What are you saying? It's still because I'm useless and can't let my mother live peacefully in the palace.
"Alright, this isn't your fault. There's no need to take all the blame on yourselves."
Furthermore, I know why you two have been coming here all this time.
Xiuning speaks her mind directly and doesn't try to hide anything.
Since they're mother and son anyway, there's no point in going through the motions and testing each other at this point.
