In the past, some princesses of the Qing Dynasty died young after being married off to Mongolia. Most people assumed it was due to the change in environment and the princess's delicate constitution, but no one expected such a tragic fate. After all, Qing Dynasty princesses were known to be somewhat frail in later years, even in the capital, so many had become accustomed to it.
In addition, Mongolia and the capital were far apart, and it would take one or two months for a round trip. Even with the fastest horses, it was difficult for news to be transmitted quickly.
It may take several months for the news of the princess's death to reach the capital.
At this point, even if the emperor wanted to investigate, or if the princess's mother and brothers wanted to find out the circumstances of their daughter's death, there probably wouldn't be any trace left.
In Mongolia, princesses are not necessarily mistreated, but the nannies there are extremely vicious and always control matters such as the princess consummating her marriage with her husband.
Under the guise of upholding the rules, they indirectly kept the princess under their control, especially since she was far from the capital. With the emperor far away, who could possibly control her?
Furthermore, if the princess is controlled for a long time and the prince consort is not willing to tolerate it, it can easily lead to conflicts between the couple. Perhaps even young couples who are in love at the beginning of their marriage will have their relationship disrupted by the nanny.
These matters have not yet been fully investigated, but even the slightest trace is enough to cause Yinreng great heartache.
If he initially only wanted to help the young girl, after just a superficial understanding, he realized that it was also his responsibility as the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty, even though he was young and his strength was weak.
If it weren't for the fact that they had to confess this matter to Consort Ping first, Yinreng might have already been unable to hold back and reported it to Emperor Kangxi.
"Brother Crown Prince, please don't be in a hurry. Let's try our best today... and then we can discuss this further?"
After the two met and discussed the recent developments, Jingrou hurriedly went to find her friends, and then they went to find Mingxuan together.
Meanwhile, Mingxuan, who was staying in Chuxiu Palace, was guiding his mother in practicing the zither.
Although today is a day off, she has to catch up on some of the rules she missed the past two days, so she doesn't have a moment to relax.
Consort Ping noticed that Mingxuan seemed a bit dazed all day. She couldn't help but frown. How could he manage if he was like this every day?
If we just drift along like this, how can we learn the rules properly?
She gave a wink to the people below, and someone immediately brought over a pot of freshly brewed mint water. This water was refreshing and invigorating.
Upon smelling that faint aroma, Mingxuan knew it was the mint water she drank every day, but she never liked it.
Her mother wouldn't scold her too harshly, but would try everything she could to cheer her up, even if it meant taking a lot of bitter medicine or drinking things that made her feel nauseous to try and wake her up...
"Consort Ping..." A few little girls' voices came from outside. Consort Ping looked up at Ming Xuan in confusion. "Did they come looking for you?"
Consort Ping probably knew that she had a good relationship with several princesses and their tutors, but she neither opposed nor supported this matter.
Those attendants were all from extraordinary backgrounds; several of them were even from unapproachable social classes. If you had a good relationship with them, you might be able to benefit from their connections in the future.
After he marries into Mongolia, with this trump card, perhaps his life will be a little better!
Especially Prince An, who was a great killing god who kept the Dzungars in check!
However, she had heard that some of them were unruly and rebellious. Consort Ping was somewhat worried that they would corrupt Mingxuan and cause him to pick up some bad habits.
Then she heard the commotion of several young girls outside. Although she rarely interacted with others while living deep in the palace, Consort Ping knew that none of these girls came from ordinary backgrounds. Even Minghui, who had lost her mother, had the Empress Dowager as her support!
Mingxuan nodded silently after hearing her mother's question. Seeing that Consort Ping had nodded, the nanny immediately welcomed Princess Minghui and the other two girls in; the three of them came together.
Of the three girls, Consort Ping was most familiar with Wen Ying.
Because the Irgen Gioro clan was related to their family by marriage, when Ming Xuan was selecting a tutor, the Irgen Gioro clan came to recommend themselves, and Consort Ping immediately agreed.
Consort Ping had only heard that Wen Ying was a well-behaved and sensible girl, and after meeting her a few times, she found that her reputation was indeed well-deserved, which is why she agreed so readily. But why did she come with a companion?
Occasionally, Consort Ping would invite Wen Ying to dine with her, which was also a way of giving face to the Irgen Gioro clan.
Consort Ping looked puzzled.
The girls, unfazed, immediately bowed. One doesn't hit a smiling face, especially not these three girls.
Consort Ping immediately sat down to greet the group.
Consort Ping thought the three people had come to play with Mingxuan. However, she had arranged for Mingxuan to learn etiquette today, and the nanny in charge of teaching her etiquette was about to arrive. How could she let her go out to play for another day?
You can't work on it only for three days and then relax for two!
However, refusing the three young girls in front of him became a rather difficult task, since they had already entered the palace, and he couldn't very well kick them out of the hall.
Consort Ping glanced at Ming Xuan.
Mingxuan lowered her head, avoiding her mother's gaze. She knew that her friend had come to the palace today to see her, and they had discussed this matter beforehand.
Although Mingxuan felt somewhat uncertain and a little afraid of her mother, seeing so many of her friends willing to do things for her and consider her feelings, she felt she should strive to do better.
"Mother, I have something to discuss with you today." Mingxuan suddenly spoke up, and the few people who were talking to Consort Ping immediately fell silent.
At this moment, a palace maid suddenly came to report that the matron, Hitara, who usually taught Mingxuan etiquette, had arrived.
Consort Ping was puzzled. What could possibly be the reason that she had called these three young girls over and made them speak to her? Today was supposed to be a day for learning etiquette, and she couldn't let that be delayed.
When Mingxuan heard the news that Lady Xitala had arrived, his body trembled involuntarily.
Then everyone's eyes turned to the doorway at the same time. Hitara walked in with a smile on his face, under everyone's gaze.
Her gait was composed, and every step and movement revealed the image of someone from the deep palace, both strictly disciplined and elegant. She was the most respected nanny, and even in the Chushu Palace, she was deeply trusted by Consort Ping and held a relatively high position.
