The issues of Ulanara's family background and age were not a problem for Jinzhen.
The Ma Jia clan he now belongs to is already the emperor's maternal clan, so there's no need to worry about their future prominence. If he were to marry into a family with a good background, it might cause some jealousy.
Even though the emperor was born to their Lady Majia, the royal family is always suspicious, as Jinzhen himself knew, so he had to be on guard.
The Ulanara family is of good standing, but the clan has no capable successors and is destined to decline in the future. Marrying Jinzhen would eliminate the need to worry about their power being too conspicuous, making it a perfect match.
As for the age issue, there's even less to worry about. He's already lived a second life, and he's many years older than this Ulanara woman, so why would he care that she's three years older than him?
All of the above are lies. The most important reason is that Ulanara was his wife in his previous life.
In his previous life, he was the fourth prince of Emperor Kangxi, named Yinzhen, who would later become Emperor Yongzheng.
Ulanara married him when she was ten years old, and the two of them lived together for more than thirty years.
Looking back on those days, he ultimately felt guilty towards her. Now that he has been reborn and met her again, he will not let go.
In this life, he is not a prince, a king, or an emperor, but just an ordinary son of an official. He will treat her well and never let her experience the things that happened in her previous life again.
Yunyi was not surprised that her nephew was going to marry a woman from the Ulanara clan. She had known for a long time that Jinzhen was a reincarnated person who had traveled through time and had been keeping an eye on him in secret.
Over the years, through various clues, she has been able to confirm her nephew's identity.
On that day in the Imperial Garden, the way Jinzhen looked at Ulanara made her certain that Jinzhen must be the Fourth Prince, the Yongzheng Emperor.
It's a good thing that this former young couple has rekindled their marriage from their previous life, and of course she supports it.
Because the marriage was bestowed by the Emperor, Jinzhen's marriage was not entirely arranged by his parents; the Imperial Household Department also assisted in the arrangements.
Soon, the wedding preparations were completed, and Ulanara put on a bright red wedding dress and married into the Majia family.
Uya was in high spirits today, and her smile hadn't stopped since she got up in the morning.
Now that her son has married and started his own family, he's an adult, and she, as his mother, can finally rest easy.
The next morning, the bride came with her husband to serve tea.
As the handsome newlywed couple walked in, the sharp-eyed Uya could even see the subtle, caring gestures her son was making towards his wife.
Uya was filled with joy and had no complaints about her daughter-in-law. It was good for the couple to be loving and harmonious so that the family could be at peace.
She smiled and drank the tea offered by her daughter-in-law, then took off a vibrant green bracelet from her wrist.
"This bracelet was given to me by the Empress Dowager Rong when I got married. Now that you and Jinzhen are married, I will pass it on to you. I hope that you two will live in harmony and love and have children soon."
Ulanara lowered her head shyly and gave a barely audible "hmm." It was only when Jinzhen spoke up that she was able to get out of the predicament.
Jinzhen had never been fond of women, so there were no other women in his room except for Ulanara.
At the time, Lady Uya had considered assigning a maid to teach her son about human affairs, but Jinzhen refused, and she did not insist on it later.
Her husband, Ma Jiayun, only had her. The couple loved each other deeply and had been together for over ten years. Since her son had already refused, she had no reason to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law.
Not long after Jinzhen got married, the eldest prince Hongfen also got married, but the situations of Nalan and Ulanara were different.
Hongfen was a royal prince. In his room, besides the two palace maids who were given to him to teach him about human affairs according to the rules at the time, there were also two princesses who were given to him by the emperor during this selection of concubines.
But all things considered, at least before she, the primary consort, entered the household, there were no secondary consorts yet.
Hongfen was also sensible and did not allow his concubines or princesses to conceive illegitimate children, thus embarrassing his primary wife.
On the second day after the wedding, the eldest prince and his wife entered the palace to pay their respects to their elders. The couple first went to the Qianqing Palace to pay their respects to the emperor, and then went to the Chengqian Palace where the empress resided.
Then came Ning Shou Palace, where Yun Yi resided. Yun Yi got up early in the morning, and she was very curious about this granddaughter-in-law.
Nalan Xingde's name is widely known in later generations. As his daughter, Nalan was also well-educated by the Guarjia clan, and Yunyi was very curious about her.
When they finally met, Yunyi couldn't help but exclaim, "What a beautiful woman! She is elegant, graceful, and full of literary charm!"
It feels like the girl is at a disadvantage to be with my eldest grandson.
For a time, Yunyi's affection for her granddaughter-in-law surpassed that for her eldest grandson, making Hongfen a little jealous.
Even after his eldest grandson got married, Kangxi did not return to the palace. He only sent his eldest son's wife to pay her respects once a month when he met with his family.
The rest of the time, Kangxi lived alone in the garden, discussing Taoist issues with the Taoist master Tanyangzi. His detached and indifferent demeanor made him seem as if he were about to ascend to heaven.
Time doesn't change for anyone; it flows slowly but relentlessly.
Six months later, Ulanara was the first to announce the good news of her pregnancy. She was twenty years old this year, and her body had fully developed, making it the perfect time for her to conceive.
In her previous life, she married Yinzhen at the age of ten, consummated their marriage at fifteen, and gave birth to her eldest son, Honghui, at sixteen.
However, she injured her body during childbirth and was unable to conceive again. Later, her son died at the age of eight, and she became the serious and dignified primary wife in the inner courtyard, with no smile on her face.
Now everything has changed. Jinzhen cherishes Ulanara very much, and now that he hears the news that his wife is pregnant, even if he were reborn, he cannot help but feel overjoyed.
But ever since his wife became pregnant, he has found himself having a strange dream.
In his dream, he was still the Fourth Prince Yinzhen. He was raised by his adoptive mother, Consort Tong, from a young age. After his adoptive mother passed away, he returned to the side of his birth mother, Consort De.
However, this mother treated her very badly, always favoring her younger brother, the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen, and suppressing her.
Although he eventually ascended to the throne, his own mother accused him of being a villain who usurped power, claiming that he forged an imperial edict and took the position from his fourteenth brother.
Everything in his dream was a true experience from his past life, but for some reason, he felt strange, with an emptiness in his heart, as if he had forgotten something.
