However, to Jingrou's surprise, her brothers were not interested in this matter at all!
They all shook their heads, indicating that they didn't want to go at all! Perhaps they could consider being spectators and watching the fun, but if they were actually asked to play polo, then forget it!
Anyone with eyes could see that this was a scheme orchestrated by the Mongol tribes to gain a chance to become the emperor's son-in-law. And the emperor, for some unknown reason, even wanted people to participate in the polo match.
This polo match is undoubtedly an opportunity for those Mongolians to put on a show. Even if you were to compete against them, it would probably just be a friendly match or something, and it wouldn't be a real game.
They were a group of passionate young men, and they couldn't accept this kind of theatrical performance. Each of them was competitive and naturally wanted to win!
I'm so frustrated!
They themselves had no problem participating in polo matches, but they were unhappy if it involved in the infighting between the Mongol tribes!
Perhaps this time, in order to win the opportunity to become the emperor's son-in-law, they might fight each other or even secretly sabotage each other. Why should I get involved?
They've all come to the capital one after another this time. I heard that the people of the Khorchin tribe have also sent letters back home, and they might be able to send people over soon.
Everyone is so anxious, and the Emperor hasn't said anything yet!
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense and they were about to fight, why should they get involved?
Those Mongolian men are all incredibly hot-tempered and rough around the edges. If they were to actually fight, wouldn't they just be innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire?
They're not going to get involved in this mess!
“But if Zhuzhu is interested in this, then your brother will take you to see it!” March patted his chest. Of course, he couldn’t bear to refuse his sister.
He is now tall and strong, and he is a little younger than average, so he is very close to Jingrou.
Jingrou's older brothers, some of whom were studying away from home, and others who had been prepared by Prince An to be sent to the army for training, were mostly unable to spare the time. Of course, they doted on Jingrou very much and had grown up with her. However, as they grew older, they had more things to do and naturally could not accompany her all the time. Nevertheless, the tradition of Prince An's mansion often gathering together for meals continued.
They barely have time to play with their younger sister, let alone play polo like children.
In comparison, March is relatively free.
Jingrou hesitated for a moment before nodding, then smiled and took her brother's arm. Hmm… although she had promised Yinreng, he would probably be primarily responsible for this matter at that time and wouldn't be able to be with her all the time. It was better to ask her brother to come along!
March laughed, surprised that his sister enjoyed watching such a lively scene! He had previously thought she disliked those kinds of playful fights.
However, considering her close relationship with those princesses, and the fact that she probably rarely saw Mongols, I could understand.
Then let him just take his sister with him. The palace will definitely be selecting people to play polo, and he probably won't want to go, but are there any people in the capital he doesn't know? He might as well just take his sister with him!
March excitedly made this arrangement with the other person.
Prince An frowned deeply and whispered to him, "We'll talk about this later. Even if you go to see her, bring plenty of people with you... There are so many people coming to the capital lately, it's very unstable. Don't take your sister around. And Zhuzhu, make sure you bring plenty of people with you when you go out."
Jingrou nodded obediently. Her grandfather had never refused any of her requests before, so his serious demeanor this time meant that something serious must be going on.
She was very obedient to advice, and it was obvious that her maternal grandfather had arranged for more guards around her than before when she went to the palace these past few times. This probably explains her maternal grandfather's cautious attitude.
Perhaps something really happened that she doesn't know about, but she's just a child and there's no need for her to know too much.
March frowned in confusion. He thought that these were just some Mongols who came to the capital to curry favor with the emperor. How could they possibly cause trouble in the capital? Did they have a death wish? Then he was slapped on the head by Jingrou's second uncle, "Listen to your grandfather."
March naturally said, "Yes." Amar didn't talk much, but he was especially effective in disciplining him, and the boy never talked back to Amar.
Even when he was young and didn't have much of an impression of his father, his mother told him that his father was a hero who guarded the frontier.
Later, after returning to the capital due to his injury, his admiration for his father reached its peak, and the young boy developed a great respect for his mother. Later, he went out to fight in several battles, but this time he returned.
“It’s not just because of Mongolia. The capital is now a mixed bag, and there might be people secretly plotting against us…” Uncle Yatu said in a deep voice.
He is the eldest son and the heir apparent of Prince An's mansion. He has now taken over most of Prince An's affairs.
In fact, since the Qing Dynasty developed new weapons based on Jingrou's blueprints and other materials, which strengthened the Qing Dynasty's national power, these actions were all carried out in secret.
Both the blueprints and the techniques were kept under tight guard, and Emperor Kangxi specially dispatched a group of people to study them. At first, it was only to study that one blueprint, but later many more were added, and in Jingrou's eyes, it had become a small research institute.
Jingrou knew of that thing's existence; she had even been there with her maternal grandfather. However, she wasn't the only one whose eyes were blindfolded the entire time; everyone who went there received the same treatment!
However, the capital city was full of spies from various factions, including Prince An'an, who had been followed several times.
Although the workshops where those things were studied were built like impregnable fortresses, and the Emperor himself oversaw them, they were still infiltrated by spies several times. Although the materials have not been leaked yet, it is likely that some people with ulterior motives already know that the Qing Dynasty is researching something, and Prince An is not sure how much they actually know.
