Chapter 104 104 It seems like he was forced to pick up a bargain.
At the beginning, Xianyu didn't know that she was the legitimate wife.
After all, the historical records are very clear, and System 003 also gave Xianyu a "basically accurate" piece of information, that is, the Fourth Prince's wife is Ulanara, the daughter of the infantry commander Fei Yanggu.
Moreover, it was Master Kang who arranged the marriage personally, and the marriage took place in the second half of the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.
No matter how you look at it, it's about this year's talent show. The time and all the information match up.
However, somehow, something went wrong, and Ulanara was not assigned to the Fourth Prince, but to a legitimate son of a royal family - just like her good sister Jia Yuanchun, who made the same choice.
Xianyu had no idea about this. Last time, when they attended a flower-viewing banquet together at Prince Beijing's Mansion, Ulanara, like Jia Yuanchun, accidentally heard Xianyu's thoughts.
This matter, to be honest, has a bit of luck involved.
Originally, Xianyu was not very fond of Ulanara - she was a good friend of Jia Yuanchun. Xianyu did not like Jia Yuanchun very much at the beginning. After all, this lady was said to be a wealthy and noble lady carefully cultivated by the old lady of the Jia family, but she had to use some special means that no one knew where to get into the palace and become the concubine of Master Kang, who could be her father. No one could understand this.
Of course, there are actually quite a few girls who are about the same age as Yuanchun and have become Master Kang’s concubines, such as Miss Chen and Miss Gao who were in this talent show.
However, those people did not participate voluntarily, but had to participate in the draft due to the rules. Once selected, they had no right to choose or refuse and could only accept it. So, Xianyu would certainly not blame them for this.
However, Jia Yuanchun is different.
She was sent to the palace by the Jia family on their own initiative.
It's not a regular channel, but rather a backdoor, the kind that allows one to get in even if they become a palace maid.
Although, in the original novel, she later became successful and was promoted to the virtuous concubine, and was ordered to visit her parents and returned to the Jia family from the palace. But what did she say when she visited her parents?
What about "You sent me to that shameful place that day"... "I can't see my parents and brothers"... blah blah, she really thinks that the royal family are there to eat for free, so she can make up whatever she wants.
First of all, if you don’t agree, you can just refuse.
Although the Jia family, especially Grandmother Jia, invested a lot of time and energy in her and trained her very well, she was not the only one to be selected to enter the palace.
Just like the Wang family sent Concubine Wang into the palace at that time, the Jia family's main family, side branches, and side branches of the side branches also had many girls of marriageable age.
In fact, another girl like the princess could have been chosen to enter the palace. Perhaps, because the opportunity was rare and the living environment of their original family was too bad, they would have cherished this opportunity and it would not have taken so many years to be favored.
Of course, promotion to imperial concubine is probably impossible, but Xianyu is now very skeptical. If it is Master Kang, can Jia Yuanchun still be promoted to imperial concubine?
This was most likely a false promotion, aimed at taking the lives of Jia Yuanchun and the Jia family.
All in all, this move was not a good one.
Although Jia Yuanchun is outstanding, she was trained according to the standards of a daughter of a wealthy family.
In terms of observing people's expressions, being gentle and considerate, and providing good service, Jia Yuanchun is no match for those girls whose family backgrounds are not as good as hers.
Simply put, the royal concubine is far better than her, not to mention that there are countless royal concubines in the palace, and even concubines who are higher in rank than the royal concubines.
Therefore, it took her ten years to get to Master Kang - and it is possible that it was not because of her personal charm, but because of the imperial power... Well, if you think about it carefully, it's quite sad.
Because of this, Xianyu actually always felt that this cousin looked smart, but was somewhat confused.
First of all, if you don't want to, then don't agree to go in the first place.
Even if Lady Jia and the others were unwilling, at least they had resisted.
But obviously, judging from her behavior when she came to visit her parents, she never resisted at all.
At least she doesn't object, and maybe she is even willing to do it.
This is really speechless.
Since you have this attitude, then accept the consequences. Why do you whine about "Once you enter the palace, it's like entering a deep sea" and you can't see your relatives anymore?
Isn’t this a bit like “wanting again”?
All in all, this operation is very confusing.
Xianyu really looked down on the type of people who couldn't see clearly what was happening and just cried after everything happened, so she disliked Jia Yuanchun at the beginning.
After getting to know her, I discovered that Jia Yuanchun was not that kind of person.
Then her entry into the palace was most likely the idea of the Jia family, especially Grandmother Jia.
After Jia Yuanchun talked to her privately several times and clearly expressed that she didn't want to enter the palace at all, Xianyu gradually changed her mind about her.
This child is not the kind of person who has no ideas and goes with the flow. Instead, he is very independent-minded and even wants to find a way out for himself.
It was rare for her to have such ideas, so Xianyu had to discuss with her for a few more sentences. As a result, this cousin Yuanchun had reached a basic level of favorability in Xianyu's eyes and had heard Xianyu's inner thoughts several times.
Although it was very shocking to hear, especially the terrible ending, which made Jia Yuanchun feel heartbroken, she made up her mind to stay away from the harem and just find someone to marry.
Later, the Ulanara family was also brought in.
After all, this little girl named Ulanara was Jia Yuanchun's best friend. Although, nowadays, Jia Yuanchun's family background could not compare with that of Ulanara, the ancestors of the Jia family were still wealthy after all.
The young lady of the Duke's Mansion and the girl of the Infantry Commander's family look similar.
The most important thing is that the two little girls get along very well and like to be good sisters to each other, so of course they can be good friends.
After Jia Yuanchun realized the benefit of hearing Xianyu's inner thoughts, she thought of her good sister.
She is not as naive as described in the original novel. She still has a lot on her mind. Therefore, she also wants to pull Ulanara over to improve Xianyu's favorability together. What if Ulanara can also hear the voice of her cousin? Who knows what kind of explosive news will come out.
Jia Yuanchun's estimate was completely correct.
Xianyu is not the kind of person who is trapped by prejudice and stereotypes.
After actually getting to know Ulanara, Xianyu indeed felt that this girl was quite good.
After all, we were of the same age and had similar temperaments and personalities, so we quickly became good friends.
Of course, Xianyu herself felt that she and these two people were just fake sisters. But in fact, she had already given them permission to speak her mind - that is, her heart was more honest than her brain.
In response to this, System 003 said, host, if you like it, just like it, no need to pretend, really.
In short, under such circumstances, Ulanara was fortunate enough to hear Xianyu's inner thoughts once or twice, and coincidentally, they were all about her marriage and future.
She, Ulanara, was betrothed to the fourth prince Yinzhen in the 34th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Two years later, she gave birth to the eldest prince Honghui, but unfortunately he died at the age of eight.
From then on, she never gave birth again and became the childless Fourth Lady, and later became the Queen.
Although she enjoyed wealth and glory and was the queen, she was not happy throughout her life.
In fact, the pain of losing her son and the complicated palace affairs made her breathless, and she never enjoyed any happy or leisure time.
Not to mention, she served the Fourth Prince - a man who was notoriously cold-hearted and not at all affectionate. He was so cold-blooded that he didn't even seem like a man from the Aisin-Gioro family.
After all, whether it was his great-grandfather Huang Taiji, grandfather Fulin, or father Xuanye, they were all infatuated and caused bloody storms for one or two concubines.
Huang Taiji had Hai Lanzhu, Fulin had Dong Efei, Xuanye had Empress Hesheli, and everyone had his own white moonlight.
Only Yinzhen had nothing.
So, he has no heart, at least he is not attentive in the harem, so what's the point.
Although Ulanara cannot be considered love-brained at this age, she still has some romance and fantasy that are unique to girls of this age.
No one wants her husband to be such a person, not to mention that the harem is a place that girls like them always avoid.
So, like Jia Yuanchun, Ulanara also made this decision quietly. Moreover, she was even more powerful than Jia Yuanchun, and even directly persuaded her father Fei Yanggu, the commander of the infantry, who was also a Buddhist and thought it was better not to get involved in the fight for the throne.
After all, when you can't see the situation clearly, the best thing to do is to avoid it.
Therefore, the old man readily agreed to Ulanara's request to remarry a member of the royal family - since they had to get married anyway, and given their family background, they would definitely marry someone from the Aisin-Gioro family, so it would be better to marry someone who had no chance of becoming emperor.
Simple.
She likes the simple happiness very much.
Anyway, with her abilities, since she is qualified to be a queen, then it would be absolutely easy for her to become a princess in some royal family.
Moreover, the cost performance is higher.
Ulanara was happily betrothed to a royal family member who was said to be very young and handsome, leaving Xianyu alone, who was betrothed to the Fourth Prince.
What shocked Xianyu the most was that the Fourth Prince was still single and didn't even have Concubine Qi Li or Concubine Mao Song.
