"The legitimate princess condescended to marry the Khorchin Mongols, and the Empress actually agreed?"
In the main hall of Yikun Palace, Chen Yuwei and Xia He chatted idly, surrounded by a few little ones who had been idly wandering back from the princess's and princes' quarters.
The existence of Yikun Palace was of great significance to these children.
Whether they had something to do or not, Yonghu and the others would often come back to keep Chen Yuwei company, even though Chen Yuwei didn't really want this kind of overly lively company.
"Mother, will I also have to marry into a place like Mongolia in the future?"
He Zhuo suddenly spoke up; at eleven years old, she was no longer the adorably silly girl she once was.
Having lived with Fulinga in the princess's residence for many years, the two of them had witnessed firsthand the methods of certain people.
Both of them agreed that it was somewhat unreasonable to force their elder sister, Hayihu, to marry.
Could someone as serious and rigid as my elder sister really live well in Khorchin?
"Mother, I don't want to get married, but if Father Emperor chooses a good consort, then I might consider it."
Fu Ling'a's attitude is quite flexible and adaptable; she is someone who can completely adapt to life.
Compared to Khoja, they seemed more carefree and at ease.
Chen Yuwei smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy for either of you to marry into Mongolia."
"Compared to going to the northern frontier, your Emperor would much rather marry you off to people in the south."
Because their mothers were from Jiangnan, and now that the Mongols are weak, there is no need to add more royal princesses. On the contrary, there are mostly Han Chinese in Jiangnan, and the efforts of several generations of emperors have begun to show results, so it is urgent to deepen the efforts.
Khoja and Fuling'a, who both possess Han Chinese blood, are excellent marriage partners.
Besides, Emperor Qianlong actually did such a thing when he was in power.
Not only did they arrange marriages between their children and Han generals, but they also strengthened ties with Manchu nobles, seemingly determined to seize them all and leave no one behind.
"Jiangnan?"
He Zhuo and Fu Ling'a exchanged a glance. They had never seen the scenery of Jiangnan, but their daily clothes and porcelain were mostly produced in Jiangnan.
If the Emperor really marries them off to Jiangnan, they would be very happy.
"Mother, since that's the case, may your son ask to marry a Han woman as his wife?"
Yonghu stared intently at Chen Yuwei, and Yonghong, Yongkun, and Yongwei all stopped playing and looked over as well.
When Chen Yuwei saw Yonghu's youthful face, she thought to herself, "How old are you? You're only fourteen at most. How are you going to support a wife at this age?"
Yonghu wasn't afraid. "Mother, with Father Emperor here, how could he let his son starve to death?"
Chen Yuwei shook her head, "Your imperial father doesn't care about you, and besides, your mother can't decide who you marry."
Yonghu didn't believe it and held onto Chen Yuwei's wrist with a grin, saying, "How could that be? My elder brother's marriage to my sister-in-law was arranged by the Empress Dowager."
"Mother, if you put in a good word for your son, the matter will be settled."
Chen Yuwei glared at Yonghu, "You wish! Why would you marry a Han woman? Your father, the Emperor, is in love with Manchu women."
Yonghu: ...
Yonghu immediately gave him a look that said, "Mother, don't scare me." His father's harem was full of all kinds of beautiful Han women, so where would he find a Manchu woman?
"I can't handle my sister-in-law's temper, Mother. I don't want to end up like my elder brother."
My older brother recently came to the study; his eyes were covered in dark circles, and he looked terrible.
Yonghu was still shaken after speaking, and Yonghong, Yongkun, and Yongwei, who were standing next to him, nodded in agreement.
"Yeah yeah"
"I heard he had a fight with his sister-in-law and couldn't sleep well."
"And the concubine is pregnant, so my elder brother went to keep her company; it must have been very hard for him."
"..."
They chattered incessantly, like ducks quacking.
Although the eldest prince Yonghuang is already married and will become a father in a few months.
But in Hongli's eyes, Yonghuang was still a child. Since he was a child, why should he attend court or listen to politics? He should continue to listen to the teacher's lectures in the study.
And so it is, even now, though Yonghuang has moved to live outside the palace, he still goes to his study on time every day.
Even if they didn't study well or didn't finish the homework assigned by the teacher on time, they would still be punished along with Yonghu and the others.
Yonghu and his friends were academic underachievers, lacking any talent in studying, but they were unparalleled in angering the teacher.
Chen Yuwei is now completely at ease and not worried at all about what the teacher might do to Yonghu and the others. After all, these kids are tough and hard-hit, and they can't be easily hurt.
Occasionally, Chen Yuwei would also warn Yonghu and the others to try not to anger the Master. If the Master was really angry, they should let him punish them and never joke around with their own bodies.
Yonghu and his companions are unlikely to get into trouble, but the tutors whom Hongli invited to teach the princes are all fragile and easily overwhelmed.
They tried their best to distance themselves from the teachers and let Yonghu and the others take all the blame. As their mother, Chen Yuwei had no objections to this.
"You lot get along quite well with the First Prince."
Even such private matters between husband and wife are discussed outside, especially with his dim-witted half-brothers. Chen Yuwei doesn't know whether to praise Yonghuang for his sincerity or scold him for his lack of caution.
Well, both sentences mean the same thing, and they are perfect for Yonghuang.
“Mother, if my eldest brother wants to win us over, he will definitely want to get closer to us brothers.”
We're just talking about everyday things after marriage; my brother and I won't tell anyone else.
Yonghu scratched his head sheepishly; he understood how much Yonghuang valued them.
Not only the eldest brother, but also the sixth and seventh brothers were the same; they were all very popular in the study.
