By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: My fourth son, Aisin Gioro Yinzhen, is virtuous and filial, and accomplished in both civil and military affairs. Now, Ulanara, the daughter of Grand Minister Fei Yanggu, a member of the Manchu Plain Yellow Banner, is a woman of distinguished lineage, dignified in appearance and character, and intelligent and beautiful. By the grace of the Empress Dowager, she is hereby appointed as the primary consort of my fourth son, Yinzhen, and an auspicious day shall be chosen for their wedding.
The eunuch's shrill voice rang in Yunyi's ears. She gently shook her head, which was throbbing from the time travel, and cautiously glanced at the area within her sight.
After hearing the eunuch's decree, she knew what time period she was in. After respectfully kowtowing, she stepped forward to receive the decree and express her gratitude.
Upon receiving the decree, everyone in the Ulanara family stood up. Fei Yanggu, with a somewhat ingratiating expression, stepped forward and said something to Liang Jiugong, subtly handing him something.
Liang Jiugong didn't refuse. In this situation, he couldn't refuse, so he accepted it without hesitation. Because he accepted the gift, he gave Fei Yanggu a few pointers, revealing a little bit of information.
After the matter was over, Fei Yanggu, as a father, was not in a position to say anything to his daughter. Jue Luo Shi, with great tact, took her daughter to her main courtyard, her heart filled with worry as they walked.
I just heard from Eunuch Liang that the Imperial Noble Consort's health is deteriorating. The Emperor's decision to bestow a marriage upon his daughter and the Fourth Prince at this time speaks volumes.
Her daughter, who had grown up in a small and delicate way without experiencing much hardship, was about to get married at the age of ten. She was going to marry into the royal family as a prince's wife.
Most importantly, the Fourth Prince's identity is complicated. Although his adoptive mother is the Imperial Noble Consort, her health is failing and she wants her daughter to marry into the family to bring good luck. What should be done?
If the marriage is successful and brings good fortune, then all will be well; with this achievement, the Fourth Prince should treat his daughter well. But if it fails…
The consequences were unimaginable for the Jue Luo clan; they were certainly not good.
Having mentioned the adoptive mother, the Fourth Prince also had a birth mother. Everyone knew that Consort De favored her youngest son, the Fourteenth Prince.
The Fourth Prince wasn't raised under Consort De's care since childhood. If the Imperial Noble Consort passes away and the Fourth Prince returns to Consort De's side, his own daughter, as her daughter-in-law, probably won't be favored by her.
The more Jue Luo Shi thought about it, the more worried she became. Her daughter was only ten years old. She had thought that her daughter was still young and that she hadn't started teaching her many things yet, but she never expected that the emperor would suddenly bestow a marriage upon her.
This caught her completely off guard. Jue Luo was extremely anxious. Her daughter was about to enter the inner palace, and there were some things she had to make clear. Otherwise, her daughter was too naive and would be bullied to death.
At this moment, Jue Luo wished she could impart all her decades of experience in managing the household to her daughter so that she could watch her daughter get married with peace of mind.
Upon arriving at the main courtyard, Lady Jue Luo took her daughter's hand and gave her earnest advice, saying many things.
Yunyi had not yet received the original owner's memories and did not know the original owner's personality and behavior, so she did not dare to say anything. She just pretended to be indifferent and listened carefully to what Jue Luo Shi said.
Jue Luo didn't think anything was wrong, assuming that her daughter was just surprised by the news and couldn't quite process it.
This story goes on until it was almost dark. Jue Luo had dinner with her daughter before letting her go home.
Yunyi was exhausted. She had been on high alert all afternoon, afraid of making a mistake, giving herself away, and being discovered by Jue Luo Shi that something was wrong with her.
Back in her own courtyard, she dismissed Wanzhou, who served her personally, telling her not to stay and serve her, saying that she was tired and needed to rest.
After receiving her master's instructions, Wanzhou made the bed and then obediently withdrew.
She stayed by her master's side all afternoon. The mistress had said so much, and the master was exhausted from listening. Today, she also learned such big news. The master is only ten years old, so it's normal for her to be tired.
After everyone left, Yunyi was alone in the room. Lying on the bed, she could finally receive the original owner's memories in peace.
The original body was from the Ulanara clan, the youngest daughter of the Grand Minister Fei Yanggu. Her mother, the Jue Luo clan, was Fei Yanggu's second wife. She only had the original body and her four children.
Fei Yanggu was highly valued by Emperor Kangxi, and it was because of her father that she was betrothed to the adopted son of the Imperial Noble Consort, namely the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, as his primary consort.
She was both lucky and unlucky. She married the Fourth Prince at the age of ten, gave birth to Yinzhen's eldest son at the age of sixteen, and had no more children after her eldest son Honghui died at the age of twenty-three.
She diligently managed her husband's harem, including the concubines and his illegitimate children, yet she herself could not enjoy the happiness of family life.
In the end, although Ulanara became empress because of Yinzhen, she was unhappy when she looked back on her life of more than fifty years before she died.
Especially as the throne was about to fall into the hands of Hongli, a man who was ambitious and arrogant, she felt even more resentful. If her Honghui were still alive, how could Hongli possibly have the chance to ascend the throne?
Therefore, Ulanara expressed this wish: she hoped that Yunyi could protect her Honghui and, if possible, give Honghui a few more brothers from the same mother.
Having more sons means he can be there to help him more, so that Honghui won't have to fight alone without anyone to support him.
Having received all of the original owner's memories and understood the mission she had issued, Yunyi had a clear understanding of the situation, but for now, there was nothing she could do.
She transmigrated too early. Putting aside the issue of Honghui, even now, she hasn't married Yinzhen yet. Even if they were married, Honghui wouldn't be born for another six years, so there's no rush at all.
Next, the Imperial Household Department busily prepared for the Fourth Prince's wedding, while the Ulanara family outside the palace also worked diligently. After all, Consort Tong's health was critical, and she could pass away at any moment. If the wedding was delayed, they would...
While preparing her daughter's dowry and other items, Jue Luo also had to teach her daughter how to manage the household and how to get along with others.
In addition, she also had to arrange for a nanny to teach her daughter palace rules, keeping her extremely busy. She wished she could split herself in two and do the work of two people.
After a busy month until May, the wedding finally began. Ironically, the main characters of this wedding were a thirteen-year-old and a ten-year-old, both children, yet they were getting married.
Yinzhen rode a tall horse, dressed in a red wedding robe, but his face did not show much joy. His mother was seriously ill, and since last year, he had hardly shown any expression on his face, always with a cold expression.
The wedding procession arrived at the Ulanara Mansion. After a series of ceremonies, Yinzhen went to the bride's boudoir. Lady Jueluo reluctantly covered her daughter's head with a veil and personally escorted her off to her wedding.
Watching the young couple leave, Jue Luo burst into tears and collapsed onto Fei Yanggu's body.
With his hand gently stroking his wife's back, Fei Yanggu silently comforted Jue Luo Shi. His wife was extremely reluctant to let their daughter get married, and he, as her father, felt the same way!
