After putting down his teacup, Buyechuk looked out the window, seemingly lost in thought, and only spoke after a long while.
She said leisurely, "If I were to really marry into the Tong family, that would be wonderful, but what would happen to Seventh Sister then?"
Looking at the puzzled Mingyu, Buyechuk voiced his concerns.
She knew she liked Volgon a long time ago, and as she grew older, she also realized that Volgon liked her.
The fact that the two were in love with each other should have been a happy thing, but Buyechuk was very worried.
“The Manchu-Mongol marriage alliance is a national policy. The princesses in the palace are to marry into Mongolia. Even if I am lucky enough to marry in the capital, what about my seventh sister? No matter how much Father Khan dotes on Mother, he will not allow both of her daughters to stay in the capital.”
“My seventh sister and I must each take up a life in Mongolia. My mother treats me like her own daughter and cares for me deeply. Mongolia is a harsh and cold place. How can I bear to let my seventh sister marry into Mongolia and make my mother shed tears!”
At this point, Buyechuk's eyes were already filled with tears. She looked up to stop the tears from falling and continued.
"Forgon is a good man. I can find a good wife even if I leave him. There's no future for me with him, so I might as well give up on him."
“Master, you…” After hearing these words, Mingyu finally understood what her master was thinking, and she felt very sorry for him.
But what the master said is right. The Imperial Noble Consort raised the master since childhood and treated her very well. The master has always been very filial, so it is normal for her to think that way.
That's what she said, but Buyechuk wasn't as relaxed as she seemed. She dismissed Mingyu and pretended to go to bed to rest.
Lying in bed, tears streamed down her face, wetting her pillowcase.
A young girl in love, and the other person is someone she grew up with since childhood. How could she let go so easily? Although she said that, her heart was aching like it was being torn apart. Only when there was no one else around could she hide under the covers and cry silently for a while.
After a moment, she regained her composure and told herself to let it go.
After some time, Yinzhen finally found an opportunity to ask his sixth sister.
Buyechuk was determined to keep it all to herself; she kept her mouth shut and said nothing.
But how could these things possibly stump Yinzhen, who had been an emperor and was reborn?
Through his skillful manipulation of information, Yinzhen subtly learned the truth. He was somewhat moved, surprised that his sixth sister was so sensible and would think that way.
Yinzhen reassured his sister, telling her to rest assured and stay with Forgon without worrying about anything else, as he would arrange Hutu Ling'a's marriage.
Buyechuk was initially somewhat skeptical, but her fourth brother's eyes were full of trust, and remembering that he had always been reliable since childhood, she decided to believe her brother.
In the blink of an eye, it was the thirty-first year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign.
This year is a talent show year, and all girls aged thirteen to seventeen in the banner must participate in the talent show.
The Empress was in charge of this matter, with Yunyi, Consort Hui, Consort Rong, and others assisting her.
Consort Hui was old and had no worries about the Emperor choosing new concubines, and she already had a daughter-in-law, so she didn't care about the selection process at all.
Yunyi and Consort Rong's sons are both of age and are very concerned about this selection of a concubine, as they both want to choose a good one for their sons.
The preliminary and secondary selections ended quickly, and the young ladies remained in the palace to learn the rules and etiquette, awaiting the final palace selection.
Chengqian Palace
Ruoqin lifted the curtain, came in with the picture album, and handed it to Yunyi.
"My lord, these are some of the better ladies among this year's candidates. Please take a look."
Hearing Ruoqin's words, Yunyi took the picture album, somewhat dazed. She never expected that she, barely in her early thirties, would have to choose a daughter-in-law.
"Yes, host, you're still so young, and you're already going to be a grandmother! Waaah, I'm going to be a great-grandmother soon too, I'm so touched!"
Seeing this scene, even Xiaoqi, as a system, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She had been feeling a little melancholy, but upon hearing this, Yunyi's emotions immediately vanished. She chuckled and said, "Xiaoqi, that's enough. Don't be so funny. I was just feeling sentimental, and you've made me laugh it off."
Xiao Qi chuckled and stopped joking. "Host, take a look. I can't wait to find out who will be my goddaughter-in-law."
Yunyi was also very curious, and following Xiaoqi's words, she opened the picture book.
The album doesn't just contain portraits; it also includes information about the girls' family backgrounds and personal introductions.
The first one is from the Hesheli clan, from the family of the Empress Yuan. Yunyi, who knows history, didn't pay much attention and turned to the next page. The second one is from the Niohuru clan, from the family of the Empress.
Back then, Yunyi gave the Empress the Great Rejuvenation Pill. On the day the Empress gave birth to twins, she was out of danger. From then on, the Empress and Yunyi had a good relationship.
Yunyi had met this Niohuru before; she was a very lively little girl. Yunyi would like her very much if she were her daughter, but considering that Yinzhen would become the emperor in the future, Yunyi crossed this girl out as a daughter-in-law.
Looking back, Yunyi's eyes lit up.
