Yunyi shook her head with amusement. This child was truly lively.
The door opened, and a little girl wearing a Mongolian robe and sporting a hairstyle commonly seen on Mongolian girls ran in.
Yunyi looked her over carefully. The little girl had grown up, but she could still vaguely see some traces of her childhood self.
When she married into the Jin Dynasty, Erdun was only five years old. Now, this little girl is fifteen years old. Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye. Time waits for no one!
Comparing the memories of the original body's previous life, it is quite obvious that Erdun (Hailanzhu), who was born with the prophecy of the lucky star, is much more lively than in her previous life.
And because she was pampered and raised, her eyes held a pure and innocent quality.
However, due to Yunyi's influence, Erdun studied Chinese studies from a young age. In addition to the liveliness of a Mongolian girl, she also possessed the tranquility and scholarly air of a Han Chinese.
In her previous life, Hailanzhu won Huang Taiji's favor with her aloof temperament. It's unknown whether he will fall in love with Erdun in this life.
That evening, Ertenyi and Bodun returned, and the cousins met for the first time.
Ertenyi and Erdun got along very well, both being extroverted, but Bodun was more reserved.
In his previous life, he was a grown man. Erdun was fifteen years old this year, past the age of strict separation between men and women. So, although Bodun was close to this cousin, he did not dare to get too close and consciously observed the proper etiquette.
Erdun assumed that his little cousin was just shy and quiet, so he didn't think much of it and always brought him along when he went to play with them, which made Bodun both amused and exasperated, but he couldn't refuse.
Erdun has fully adapted to life in the manor in the past two days, and the full moon celebration has arrived as scheduled.
Early in the morning, Yunyi got up, washed and dressed, put on a dignified outfit suitable for receiving guests, and carried her youngest son, Achuhui, outside.
Erdun and Ertenyi chattered incessantly along the way, bickering constantly, while Bodun stood by with a helpless expression.
In just two days, he had already gotten used to his cousin and brother's childish behavior.
Upon arriving at their destination, the first person Huang Taiji saw was his radiant newborn wife, Zhe Zhe. However, his gaze involuntarily drifted to the young girl beside her.
Based on what Zhe Zhe had said a few days ago, Huang Taiji guessed that this must be her niece Erdun.
Over the years, Huang Taiji had seen countless beautiful women of all types and ages, but this young girl seemed to possess a kind of magic that made him unable to stop thinking about her…
"My lord, what's wrong? Are you stunned by my beauty?"
Hearing Zhe Zhe's teasing voice, Huang Taiji regained his composure. He suppressed the strange emotions in his heart and reached out to hug Zhe Zhe: "Yes, I didn't expect you to become even more beautiful after a month apart."
Yun Yi smiled shyly, her head lowered as if she were embarrassed, but in reality she was hiding the cold smile and disdain on her face.
She knew perfectly well who Huang Taiji was looking at. Yet she said he was staring at her in a daze. He was clearly looking at Erdun next to her. Did she really think she was a fool?
When she raised her head, the expression on her face returned to normal, and she was once again the dignified and elegant First Princess.
After the full moon celebration, in the evening, Huang Taiji came to the main courtyard for dinner.
Except for the little guy Achuhui who can't eat yet, Yunyi is with her two sons and Erdun.
During the meal, Huang Taiji behaved normally, but his expression softened more and more in response to Erdun's curious gaze and questions.
"Uncle, you are amazing. I have heard many stories about your heroic deeds on the grassland. You fought bravely and made great contributions in several battles! I have also heard about other things."
Upon hearing these words, Huang Taiji felt a surge of joy, but he maintained a serious expression on his face.
"Oh! What else have you heard?"
Erdun chattered on and on, telling her everything she had ever heard.
Huang Taiji and Yunyi looked on with smiles, the atmosphere in the room was harmonious and warm.
But Bodon always felt something was off. As an adult, a grown man, he used to have wives and concubines in his harem.
He knew the meaning behind a man's gaze when he looked at a woman, and now he felt that the way his father looked at his cousin was abnormal, carrying some desire and emotion.
After finishing their meal, they were supposed to rest there, but for some reason, Huang Taiji did not stay overnight in the main courtyard. Instead, he made an excuse, saying that he had something to take care of, and returned to the front courtyard.
While his cousin and brother were out playing around, Bodun came to find Yunyi alone, saying he had something to say.
"Mother, do you have any thoughts on my cousin's marriage? There are many good young men in the city, but we still need to choose carefully. You must keep a close eye on things."
Yunyi patted her son's head and nodded. "I know. Don't you trust your mother to handle things? I'll take good care of your cousin's marriage. Why are you worrying about such things, you little kid?"
After dismissing her son with a few words, Yunyi knew that he might have figured something out.
Strangely enough, Yunyi had been worried that her influence would cause Huang Taiji to dislike Erdun, but she never expected that the power of true love would be so strong.
Even if he changed his name, personality, and experiences, Huang Taiji would still fall in love with his Hailanzhu.
However, this is for the best, saving Yunyi the trouble of making Huang Taiji fall in love with Erdun.
Now that he likes her, he will definitely find a way to marry her. All Yunyi needs to do is pretend not to know and wait for Huang Taiji to speak.
The next day, Yunyi deliberately spread the word that she was going to choose a husband for her niece, and invited some of her acquaintances, the wives of the princes, to gather at the mansion to see if there were any suitable candidates to recommend.
Before long, Yunyi had accumulated a thick roster, all recommended by these wives. They were either her brothers or her nephews, all related by blood, with good status and suitable age.
Finding an opportunity, Yunyi consulted with Huang Taiji to discuss which young man was suitable.
"My lord, look at all these young men. I've been staying in the inner quarters all my time and don't really know any of them. I can only ask you to help me investigate."
While speaking, Yunyi also observed Huang Taiji's expression. Although he looked very serious, his facial expression was still somewhat tense.
Yunyi found it somewhat amusing. Let's see if you'll take any action this time. If you don't, then this Consort Chen will cease to exist.
"Okay, give me this, I'll send someone to investigate."
"Then I'll have to trouble you with this matter, sir. I thank you again." Yunyi's eyes crinkled with a smile.
Huang Taiji suddenly didn't know what to say. He felt a little guilty towards the woman in front of him who was full of joy.
