It took only three and a half days for the autumn hunting team to reach Mulan Hunting Ground after setting out from Chengde.
Because the Mongolian tribes were notified in advance, when the team arrived, the Mongolian royal family and nobles were already waiting outside the palace.
Yinreng saw several extremely familiar figures in the crowd.
Those are his sisters.
only……
Time is really a butcher's knife, and every stroke makes people grow old.
My eldest sister is now fifty years old and knows the destiny of the world.
The foreheads of the other sisters were also covered with white frost.
I have the impression that several of her sisters died young after marrying into Mongolia, but they are all alive and well now, and judging from their expressions, they should be living quite well.
After Rongxian and Duanjing were married to Mongolia, Kangxi intended to marry his other daughters in the capital. However, he secretly tested Kejing once and found that Kejing was not opposed to marrying to Mongolia.
So he took advantage of the situation and married Ke Jing to him.
Wen Xian did marry and move to the capital, but her life with Shun Anyan became a chaotic one.
When Shun Anyan was exiled, Yinreng issued an imperial decree to allow the two to divorce. Afterwards, Yinreng asked Guaerjia to ask Wen Xian if he had any intention of remarrying, but Wen Xian directly refused.
In the first two years, Wen Xian stayed at home to teach her daughter and live her own life. After hearing about Kejing's deeds in Khalkha Mongolia, she began to think about how to find a job.
Unfortunately, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't come up with a good direction, so he went to find Yinreng and Guwalgiya for advice.
Yinreng quickly gave his advice.
Nowadays, there are basically no beggars or abandoned babies within a radius of fifty miles from the capital, but outside the capital, there are more or less some homeless children in other cities. Yinreng wants Wen Xian to take the lead and set up a charity fund organization in the capital.
He held flower-viewing banquets or charity auctions during festivals to raise funds, and then cooperated with Lao Jiu's Chamber of Commerce to build orphanages, charity homes and other institutions throughout the Qing Dynasty.
Give those children who are wandering outside a way out.
Wen Xian was a little hesitant at first. After all, running a charity organization and an orphanage would inevitably require him to be in the spotlight, and he would even have to leave Beijing to inspect various places, so he did not agree immediately.
However, after Tang Douer knew about this, she persuaded Wen Xian to agree.
Tang Douer's original intention was to let Wen Xian have a proper job so that he could take her to travel around. Later, when she truly witnessed the suffering of the people, Tang Douer regarded charity as her lifelong pursuit and eventually left her name in history.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Today's charitable foundation is still in its infancy, and the only participants it has attracted are a few princes' wives.
But there were already noble ladies from the upper three banners planning to join that circle. Wen Xian didn't come along this time because he was actively recruiting people to join and had no free time at all.
As for his later sisters, Kangxi didn't care much about them and chose their marriages at random.
Yinreng's mind was racing with thoughts, but he didn't show any of them on his face. He smiled as he saw everyone kneeling respectfully before him.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
…
When everyone got up, a fat old man smiled flatteringly and said,
"Your Majesty is exhausted from the journey. You should go to the palace to rest as soon as possible. I have already sent people to tidy up all the rooms in the palace."
Yinreng took a few glances behind him before confirming that this man was his eldest sister Chunxi's husband, Prince Borjigit Bandi of the Khorchin tribe.
Compared with the capital, women here are much freer because they are also the labor force in the family, or their background forces men to treat them seriously.
"Your Highness is so thoughtful. I haven't seen you for several years. I hope you can share your heartfelt feelings with me this time."
He looked behind Bandi, his face full of smiles.
Chunxi stood there respectfully, a little dazed when she heard Yinreng's words, while Bandi was overjoyed, his face full of age spots was full of joy.
"Of course..."
In the past, he would definitely not be so fawning as he is today, but smart people know that the Qing Dynasty's military strength has crushed all Mongolian tribes. If he continues to be pretentious, he would be stupid.
Fortunately, he married a royal princess. When he goes to see the Buddha, he may have to rely on the princess to maintain the reputation of Khorchin in the future. As he thought of this, his gaze on Chunxi became softer.
Seeing this, the other princes and dukes couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Think about whether you have done anything wrong or treated the princess harshly.
It would not be a good thing if someone caught you doing this.
The war fought a few years ago made the whole of Mongolia lose the desire to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
Ke Jing stood beside her husband, her eyes fixed on the carriage behind. She knew that Kangxi was sitting inside, but she wondered what he would feel when he saw Prince Khorchin's fawning face.
It should be... quite exciting.
Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Ke Jing's lips.
After Yinreng returned to the carriage, the team continued to move forward and arrived at the palace in less than half an hour.
Yinreng got off the carriage, turned around to pick up Guwalgiya, and then went to inquire about Kangxi's condition.
Seeing that Kangxi got off the carriage with a normal expression, he finally felt relieved.
"Father Emperor, your residence is on the left side of the palace. Do you need me to escort you there personally?"
Yinreng thought about it and asked.
Kangxi shook his head.
"No need, I have a servant to take me there."
After saying that, he walked straight up the stairs with the help of his crutches.
Yinreng knew that he was feeling unhappy again, so he curled his lips, explained something to the others, and led Guaerjia to the main hall of the palace.
He hadn't taken a bath for several days, and his whole body was covered in stickiness. He couldn't wait to take a bath.
As for Yuanbao, Yinreng knew that someone would take Yuanbao to his yard, so he didn't care.
We'll talk about the rest when we have the dinner tonight.
At 1 p.m., Yinreng and Guwalgiya ended their nap. They woke up feeling refreshed, and all the fatigue from the past few days' travels had disappeared.
After washing up, Guwalgiya went to prepare the evening banquet, while Yinreng came to the main hall. At this moment, in addition to the civil and military officials brought by Yinreng, the princes and dukes of various tribes, and even their most valued descendants were also waiting here.
With the eunuch's message, Yinreng saw everyone kneeling neatly on both sides of the road as soon as he stepped into the main hall.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty!"
Yinreng walked on the palace carpet to the main seat at the back of the hall and sat down, then raised his hand to support himself.
"Everyone, please stand up."
