The topic came to an abrupt end, and no further discussion followed.
However, Jingrou temporarily abandoned her idea of going to watch the excitement; her own life was more important! Of course, she also had to listen to her grandfather's advice. Even if she went out recently, she had to bring enough people with her. Otherwise, she was such a little girl, and although she came from a good family, if she were really taken away, she would be helpless and no one could save her. Although she had some advantages... who could say for sure? She didn't have many points!
However, she was a little worried about Yinreng, who had been planning and organizing this event... She herself stayed in the Prince's Mansion every day or went to the capital, basically going back and forth between the two places. As long as she didn't run around, there wouldn't be any major problems. But Yinreng was different. Not to mention that he had a lot of things to do recently and simply couldn't spare the time; he had to be there to do them...
Although we don't know exactly what happened or what kind of turmoil might have occurred in the capital, there is no doubt that Yinreng, who planned this and even took over the matter with the First Prince, is probably in the eye of the storm if anything happens.
It's best to avoid getting involved with anything that Yinreng is in charge of!
Hopefully, no one will cause trouble, and they can finish handling this matter peacefully.
It's hard to say for sure, but when Jingrou saw him the next time, she reminded him to be careful.
Even if Jingrou hadn't said anything, Yinreng could probably have sensed it. Emperor Kangxi had also given him some instructions. Although he and his elder brother were handling the matter entirely, their father couldn't possibly remain completely uninvolved. Even if he didn't intervene, he would certainly arrange for their protection and ensure the matter's success. In short, this was a chance for them to gain experience, but it wouldn't put them in any danger.
Therefore, all Yinreng had to do was to do what his father, the Khan, had arranged, and he wouldn't think about anything else.
"You don't need to worry about these things. I will definitely be careful and keep an eye on my safety. I'll come and let you know I'm safe every day, okay?" Yinreng teased her. Especially when he saw her big eyes filled with worry for him, and her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, he just wanted to tease her. He simply couldn't control himself!
Jingrou rolled her eyes at him—she'd become so adept at this gesture that she didn't care at all that the person standing before her was the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. Because their interactions had been meaningless from the start, and she wouldn't put on any airs of imperial power in front of him!
"Really, really, I promise you! And I always have guards with me when I go out! I would never go to any random places!" He wasn't like his older brother, who was playful and always lingered after leaving the palace, not knowing where he wanted to go!
At the end of this month, all the Mongol tribes gathered in the capital. If you didn't know better, you would think that the Qing Dynasty had some important move and had to summon them together!
I heard that the Dzungars have started to take precautions. They suddenly made such a big move. Who knows if the selection of a consort for the princess is a smokescreen, or maybe the Qing Dynasty wants to get rid of them?
Why go through such a complicated and grand process to choose a husband for a princess?
However, they were overthinking it. It was indeed worth making such a big fuss. The Qing Dynasty's marriage of a princess was a completely different matter now, especially since they had a secret weapon in their hands—the fact that the Qing Dynasty had a secret weapon was not a big secret, at least not to the Khorchin prince.
However, those who know the truth will understand that it was simply a way to bring their own nephews and nieces to Emperor Kangxi for a look.
Even though Mingming heard Jingrou say that their father didn't plan to let them get married so early, Mingxuan and the others were still very agitated when they saw such a large group of people coming to the capital!
It's as if they are commodities waiting to be sold. Before they have even grown up, they have already been targeted by merchants outside, who look at them like wolves and tigers, ready to take them away at any opportunity. This feeling is very uncomfortable!
Pooh!
It's definitely not a pleasant feeling to be treated like a commodity!
As if they cared? If it were possible, they would be willing to stay in the capital for the rest of their lives and not go anywhere else. Why would they go to Mongolia? They had been wooden basketball players before. Riding a horse felt great, and looking at the grasslands was wonderful, but they would not be able to stand staying there every day. Not to mention that going there would mean being far away from their families!
And they don't really want to get married...
******
Three more days passed.
One after another, princes were received by Emperor Kangxi. Emperor Kangxi treated them well in the Qianqing Palace. Since they were there to deliver gifts, it was a private ceremony and there was no need to follow so many formalities.
Only a few close ministers accompanied him; not all the civil and military officials went. Yinreng also accompanied them.
Gage was the one from Khorchin, the younger brother of the current Khorchin Prince. When he sent people over, he didn't expect other tribes to come so enthusiastically. If he had known, Prince Kejin might have come in person!
Borjigit was related to Emperor Kangxi by marriage, and he was naturally the first to be summoned by Emperor Kangxi, although there were other princes with him.
Borg is a prince from another tribe. His tribe is also very large, and its strength in recent years has been comparable to that of the Khorchin. However, it may be slightly weaker than the Khorchin because it does not have a better marriage relationship with the Qing Dynasty. This time, he is determined to make up for this shortcoming. He brought all his sons of suitable age with him!
Including his eldest son, although he is older, he is talented in both literature and martial arts. If a princess of the Qing Dynasty takes a liking to him, it might not be impossible for him to marry him!
Most Mongolians have rugged features, so Borge stood out among a group of dark-faced Mongolian men, simply because he was a little weak in stature. Of course, he wasn't weak, but he was just made to look weaker by the Mongolians.
This is quite a legendary figure. His mother was once the most beautiful woman in Mongolia, but she was of humble origin. His own life was also quite difficult. He was once an unappreciated person, but he used his strong hands to force his mother to step down and then became a prince. He has developed his tribe into what it is today.
He was a few years older than Emperor Kangxi, but he had come to Beijing to offer his condolences after he had been granted the title of Prince. Emperor Kangxi was deeply impressed by him.
"Thank you for the hospitality of the Emperor of the Great Qing! Last year, the tribe lacked food and fodder, and it was thanks to the support of the Great Qing that we were able to overcome the difficulties. In return, I naturally had to come and pay my respects to you." He smiled and appeared quite refined, which was very rare among Mongols. He also spoke in a pleasant tone.
Gage was anxiously watching from the sidelines. He really didn't understand what "reciprocity" meant. Although he understood Chinese, he wasn't fluent in it!
