[System: Task completion SSS level, 3000 points. Cumulative points. Merit level 6.]

Sherry used the mother and child swords to go directly to the underground palace, and then returned to the secret realm from the underground palace!

That Sherry is still in seclusion!

A huge snake, its true form, is asleep!

Sherry felt increasingly pleased with herself as she thought about it, but that was the moment she stepped out of the forest.

Catching up with the system's brilliance!

When I woke up, I was already in the small world!

But the secret realm suddenly felt like it had crashed.

Sherry wasn't flustered; a certain intuition told her that the small world was actually safer!

Sherry couldn't figure it out and was too lazy to think about it anymore, so she fell asleep again!

When she woke up, it was a bit noisy outside. The little maid on the floor carefully said, "Madam, nothing happened!"

Sherry waved her hand and didn't say anything!

She carefully observed the surroundings and discovered that there were houses and yurts nearby.

Okay, assessment complete.

She guessed she was either a concubine from Mongolia or a princess married off to the Qing Dynasty.

What was transmitted even faster was the original owner's memories and data.

The original owner of this body was Huang Taiji's second wife in history, but currently she is only a secondary consort.

Ulanara Bosile. Meaning: Amber.

She was born in the Ula tribe (the chief of the Uha Kingdom, the Nara clan) of the four tribes of the Haixi Jurchen, and was the daughter of Ula Beile Bokduo.

The first ruler of Ula, Beile Buyan, had six sons: Buhan, Burxi, Bujantai, Buzhun, Wusantai, and Bokdo.

Nurhaci's principal wife, Abahai, was the granddaughter of Buhan.

The original owner's father, Bokdor, was Abahai's sixth great-uncle, so in terms of seniority, the original owner was a generation older than the Grand Consort.

The original owner of this body married Huang Taiji mainly for political reasons.

Bujantai, the leader of the Ula tribe, was captured earlier in a battle with Nurhaci.

But instead of being killed, he was treated very well by Nurhaci and even married three of Nurhaci's daughters.

Later, the Ula tribe was in turmoil, and its leader Mantai was killed. Nurhaci then helped Bujantai ascend to the position of leader.

However, Bujantai was not grateful to Nurhaci. Instead, he accumulated strength and continued to encroach on Nurhaci's territory and power.

The conflict between the two sides deepened, and finally, in the 35th year of the Wanli reign (1607), the Battle of Wujieyan broke out.

Due to Bokdo's poor command on the battlefield, he missed several opportunities, resulting in the near annihilation of his 10,000 troops by Nurhaci's 3,000 troops.

From then on, the Ula tribe suffered a severe blow.

It was after this battle that the young and beautiful Ulanara was taken back to Hetu Ala City as a spoil of war, and was subsequently favored by Huang Taiji and made a concubine.

On the grasslands, women are, in a sense, treasures and spoils of war.

Although nomadic peoples are brave and skilled in battle, their population is relatively small.

With limited resources, in order to maintain the prosperity and continuation of the tribe, inheriting the wives and concubines of one's father or brothers became a way to increase the population.

The grassland ecosystem is fragile and prone to natural disasters, such as severe droughts and heavy snow, which can lead to survival crises for tribes.

In this context, producing more offspring became crucial for the tribe's survival.

Therefore, the custom of fathers succeeding sons arose on the grasslands.

This custom has a long history on the grasslands, dating back to the Xiongnu period.

Over time, this custom was inherited and developed by other ethnic groups on the grasslands, such as the Rouran, Turks, Xianbei, Khitans, and Mongols.

This custom is considered a tradition and habit on the grasslands, and is accepted and followed by tribal members.

Before her, Huang Taiji had already married his first wife, Consort Yuan, of the Niohuru clan.

Why was she called Consort Yuan?

Because Huang Taiji ascended to the throne, he did not posthumously honor his first wife.

Similarly, the original owner, as a secondary consort, was not posthumously granted any title!

Even though she had two sons and a daughter.

Their fates can be summed up in just four words: "The rest is unknown."

If the reason why Niohuru was not posthumously honored was because of Nurhaci's alleged punishment.

The only reason why the original owner was not posthumously honored is that Huang Taiji relied on the Mongols and intentionally paved the way for Zhe Zhe!

After all, if there are too many empresses, they become worthless.

Regardless of the circumstances, it is a fact that when Huang Taiji established his capital in Shengjing and ascended to the throne as Great Khan, the original owner of the body disappeared without a trace.

It should be noted that Huang Taiji followed Nurhaci in his campaigns for many years.

He has a lukewarm relationship with his wife, but he really likes the original owner of this body.

In the 35th year of the Wanli reign (1607), the original owner of this body married him.

In the thirty-seventh year of the Wanli reign (1609), the original owner of the body gave birth to her eldest son, Hauge.

In the 39th year of the Wanli reign (1611), the original owner gave birth to her second son, Loge.

In the same year, the Grand Consort Niohuru gave birth to her third son, Luobohui.

In the 40th year of the Wanli Emperor's reign (1612), the Grand Consort was divorced by Emperor Taiji for "punishment," and soon after, Lady Niohuru passed away.

Afterwards, the original owner was made the Grand Consort.

However, while the original owner was still indulging in happiness, in the 41st year of the Wanli reign (1613), the Kingdom of Ula was destroyed.

She was so focused on the children that she didn't notice Huang Taiji's increasingly indifferent expression.

His illustrious first wife is gone, and the only remaining concubine, whose family is gradually declining, is not much of a threat.

The few women in the backyard suggested that the original owner was quite favored.

When people are complacent and self-satisfied, they don't bother to look at their feet. The original owner of this body didn't think about the plight of others, only about happiness and contentment.

After all, at this time, Huang Taiji's favoritism towards her was genuine.

But how can a woman compare to an empire?

In order to unify the Jurchen tribes and defeat the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci attached great importance to the alliance with the Mongols.

As the daughter of Mangusi, the Beile of the Khorchin Mongols, Zhe Zhe's marriage was of great significance in consolidating the relationship between the Later Jin and the Khorchin Mongols.

The significance of this matter is clear to anyone with ambition, and Huang Taiji was no less eager to strive for it.

After all, by marrying Zhe Zhe, Huang Taiji further strengthened the alliance between the Later Jin and the Khorchin Mongol tribe.

This kind of marriage not only helps the two sides cooperate politically, but also facilitates mutual military support.

For Huang Taiji himself, this further strengthened his chances of seizing the throne.

The Khorchin were tied to Huang Taiji's big ship, so naturally they offered their full support!

Sincerity naturally leads to the position of Grand Consort!

From now on, that will be the heir with the bloodline of the Borjigit clan...

This pancake is absolutely delicious!

Both sides reached a consensus.

On the tenth day of the sixth month of the forty-second year of the Wanli reign (1614), Zhe Zhe married Huang Taiji.

At this time, Nurhaci was still alive and attached great importance to Huang Taiji's marriage to Zhe Zhe.

Huang Taiji personally traveled over 300 li outside the city to hold an extremely grand wedding in Huerqi City of the Huifa tribe.

After their marriage, Huang Taiji doted on Zhe Zhe and often took her out of the city to hunt. It can be said that Huang Taiji both respected and loved Zhe Zhe.

Zhe Zhe's arrival gradually turned the original owner of this body, who was originally favored, into an invisible figure.
