“Back then, I had the shaman tell Mangus that I would become the empress and asked him to train me so that I could influence the Khorchin tribe with my own ideas. I also said that Erdun was a lucky star who would help me in the future, and that we would protect Khorchin together.”
Xiaoqi nodded and continued, "Well, how does this relate to your behavior last night?"
“I got two loyalty charms from my previous mission, right? I gave one to the wizard, and I put the other one on Erdun last night. She is Huang Taiji’s beloved, Consort Chen of Guanju Palace. Let Erdun handle the competition for favor. She controls Huang Taiji, and I manage the harem. That way, my mission will be easier.”
Yunyi explained her thoughts to Xiaoqi in detail.
"The reason why Huang Taiji married Xiaozhuang was because the sorcerer said that she would become the empress of the world. But Huang Taiji's true love was Consort Chen, Hailanzhu. Now I have changed the prophecy. Huang Taiji married me and his beloved Hailanzhu. One of us is a lucky charm, and the other is true love. Zhe Zhe's requirements are twofold: first, to form an alliance with the Great Jin through marriage, and second, to protect the Khorchin. These two tasks can be accomplished."
"Besides, there's no prophecy surrounding Empress Xiaozhuang. With a little more strategy, it would be easy to prevent her from marrying Huang Taiji. Xiaoqi, don't you think my mission would be accomplished?"
Xiao Qi's flattery is never absent: "Host, I have to admire you, your plan is indeed excellent."
After praising it, it still had a question: "Then why did you put up a loyalty charm?"
"Oh, of course it's just in case. Even if Erdun is fifteen and gets married, it will take several years. She's only four now. Who knows what will happen in ten years? I'm sticking to her now, just in case. And when she marries Huang Taiji in the future, I'll be able to take care of her."
The carriage swayed and rattled all the way from the grasslands to Shengjing, taking several months to arrive.
Huang Taiji had already sent people to wait at the city gate. When Buhe and his party arrived, he led them directly to the place he had prepared in advance.
After the group settled in and rested for one night, Buhe went to the palace the next day to pay his respects to Nurhaci and express the Khorchin's respect for the Great Jin.
Three days later, the wedding was held. Yunyi changed out of her Mongolian clothes and put on her familiar Manchu dress. She married into Huang Taiji's mansion and became Huang Taiji's concubine.
As night fell, Huang Taiji, after entertaining his guests, was "drunk" and helped into Yunyi's room by his servants.
Yunyi had already finished washing up. Since it was her wedding night, she had changed into a bright red nightgown, which looked especially festive.
Seeing Huang Taiji being helped in, she stepped forward and said with concern, "Your Majesty, you're drunk. Please sit down and rest."
Then he turned to Qiqige and instructed her, "Qiqige, go to the small kitchen and ask if they have any hangover soup. Bring a bowl over."
"It's alright, no need to trouble yourself, I'm not drunk." Huang Taiji, who had been drunk and seemingly unconscious just moments before, suddenly sobered up and quickly stopped Yun Yi's actions.
"My lord, you're not drunk! I thought you were passed out!" Yunyi revealed a touch of girlish charm.
As the saying goes, a beautiful woman looks more beautiful the more you look at her under the lamp.
In the dim candlelight, the girl in red, with her pretty and charming appearance, was fifteen years old, the prime of a woman's life. Huang Taiji was somewhat stunned by her beauty.
He sat up slightly, a playful smile on his face. "Oh! What if I really get drunk? Wouldn't that be..."
"Isn't it something else?" Yunyi asked blankly, completely unaware of Huang Taiji's thoughts.
Seeing the charming and innocent appearance of the young beauty before him, Huang Taiji was even happier.
With a sudden movement, he pulled Yunyi onto his lap.
"Ah!" Startled by losing her balance, Yunyi punched Huang Taiji in the chest in a fit of anger after regaining her balance.
"My lord, you are so mean! You scared me to death just now."
Huang Taiji laughed heartily, a wicked thought creeping into his mind. He then leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Does that mean I can't consummate our marriage?"
Even though she had lived through two worlds and had several children, Yunyi still blushed at these words.
She shyly buried her head in Huang Taiji's chest, not daring to look up.
Huang Taiji was not angry at this, but rather felt even happier. The beauty's shy appearance was very charming.
Zhe Zhe was the daughter of the tribal chief. She was naturally beautiful, but with a deep, Mongolian beauty. Later, Yun Yi transmigrated into the world. She was Han Chinese and had an added touch of reserved elegance.
The two styles and temperaments intertwined, creating a particularly captivating effect, which is precisely what attracted Huang Taiji.
Seeing that it was almost time, he got up, took his wife in his arms, and walked to the bedside, casually waving the bed curtains down to cover the entire beautiful view.
Outside the window, the clouds and the moon chase and intertwine, creating a rather interesting scene.
...
The next morning, Yunyi got up early to wash and dress, and together with Huang Taiji, went to the palace to pay homage to Nurhaci, the Khan of the Great Jin Dynasty.
It is true that calling him a Khan is not very accurate. Strictly speaking, Nurhaci is not a Khan at the moment, but at most a tribal leader. The place he is currently in is not the Great Jin Dynasty, but the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe.
But Yunyi kept calling him that in her mind so that it would be easier to recognize him.
Zhe Zhe's Khorchin Left Wing was a considerable force on the Mongolian grasslands. Since the defeat of the nine-tribe coalition against Nurhaci in the 21st year of the Wanli reign, Mangus had sided with Nurhaci and had deep ties with the Jin Dynasty.
There had been previous marriage alliances, and now Zhe Zhe's marriage to Huang Taiji is also a signal from the Khorchin. The continuous marriage alliances indicate that they are still allies and vassals of the Jin Dynasty.
As the daughter of the leader of the Khorchin tribe, Zhe Zhe's arrival was highly valued by Nurhaci.
Therefore, he made a special trip today to meet the newlyweds to show how much they value Da Jin.
If Huang Taiji had married an ordinary wife, Nurhaci might not have met her.
After leaving the palace, Huang Taiji and Yunyi rode in a sedan chair back to their residence.
Upon entering the main hall, Huang Taiji sat at the head of the table, but instead of Yunyi's seat, a beautiful woman sat next to him.
Yunyi knew that this was Huang Taiji's second wife, Ulanara.
Huang Taiji was eight years older than Zhe Zhe and had already married a principal wife, Niohuru, but this first wife had already passed away.
The current Ulanara woman was originally married into the family as a secondary consort. After the death of the Niohuru clan, she was elevated to the position of principal wife by Huang Taiji.
Now that Yunyi has married into the family as a secondary consort, she must meet Ulanara, the primary consort.
After tea was served to Ulanara and Huang Taiji's other concubines came forward to greet Yunyi, the wedding ceremony finally came to an end.
Buhe stayed in Dajin for about half a month. Seeing that his sister's life after marriage was not bad and that Huang Taiji had not mistreated her, he was able to return to Khorchin with peace of mind.
