In the same year, his half-brother Dorgon and his second son Loge were granted the title of Beile.
Huang Taiji posthumously honored his birth mother, Yehenara Menggu Zhe Zhe, as Empress Xiaoci Gao.
The Grand Consort Ulanara Abahai was posthumously honored as Empress Xiaoliewu.
He posthumously conferred the title of Empress Xiaode upon his wife, Ulanara Bosile.
In the first year of the Tiancong reign, Hailanzhu was promoted to the position of Consort of the Eastern Palace, also known as the Eastern Concubine.
Bumbutai was the wife of the Western Palace Consort, also known as the Western Concubine.
The Khorchin were somewhat dissatisfied, but Huang Taiji refused on the grounds that none of the three women—the aunt and her niece—had borne him any children.
Hailanzhu, impatient, used potent drugs and successfully conceived.
Pregnancy is just very difficult!
Bumbutai was also getting restless, after all, the choice of the Empress was to be made among them.
What will Hailanzhu do now that she has given birth?
After all, the sisters at this point are no longer as close as they were in their childhood.
Bumbutai also began drinking pregnancy-enhancing drugs to vie for favor.
She did want to take action against her sister, but Hailanzhu had learned her lesson, and her family was protecting her with all their might.
Bumbutai was unwilling but helpless.
In the same year, Yanzha, a concubine in Huang Taiji's harem, gave birth to a daughter.
Hauge also became a father, and the prince was named Zhengning, which means "peace and harmony in the government and the world".
The various tribes were eyeing Loge's position as his wife.
Huang Taiji then realized that his son had grown up, but Loge had been steady since childhood, which made him overlook his age.
"Does Log have a girl he likes?" Huang Taiji asked with great interest.
Loge's expression remained unchanged: "My son will obey my father's orders! Besides, my third brother is the same age as me. He's just physically weak, but he's also old enough to get married."
Huang Taiji then remembered his third son, who had been completely ignored.
Huang Taiji nodded and said nothing more.
However, the selection of a prince's wife has now been put on the agenda.
In the second year of the Tiancong reign, Huang Taiji and Dorgon launched a campaign against the Chahar tribe.
Logue is now regent!
On the third day of the seventh month, Hailanzhu gave birth to the third princess after many hardships.
Bumbutai was relieved, while the Khorchin group was utterly disappointed.
Hope was once again placed on Bumbutai.
Bumbutai's intelligence and talent impressed Huang Taiji.
However, people's likes and dislikes are ever-changing.
The men, especially, were known for their unpredictable tempers.
Huang Taiji was pleased with her intelligence and insight, but at the same time, he gradually became wary of her.
He thought even further ahead, for example, whether Bumbutai's performance represented Mongolia's ambitions.
Upon learning of Bumbutai's pregnancy, Huang Taiji became even more convinced of his opinion.
He became wary of the two high-ranking concubines!
However, for now we still have to rely on Khorchin, so...
Under another sky, Shirley was too lazy to care about anything else; the little girl was already eight years old.
He's so old-fashioned for his age.
Sherry repeatedly pulled open her collar to look at the red birthmark, but it was nothing, just to confirm that it was her child.
He never played or frolicked, but he knew a little about embroidery and horseback riding.
He seemed indifferent.
You might say she's lazy, but she's not. She plays chess by herself all the time and is also a clean freak.
You might say she's a homebody, but she's not. She can suddenly throw down a chess piece and order her servants to arrange their troops.
Sherry didn't understand it, but she thought it was pretty cool.
Loge couldn't understand it either, but he was good at playing chess.
Qin Wuyang could understand it, and occasionally he would play with her. Whenever this happened, the little girl would be filled with fighting spirit.
Haug couldn't understand her chess moves, but he was quite knowledgeable about her strategic deployment.
Hauge now consults his younger brother on policy matters, his younger sister on military strategy, his wife on childbirth, and even shamelessly tries to find her to help with childcare.
He was incredibly dashing.
He did want Shirley to help him take care of the children; Shirley had finally seen her eldest daughter grow up.
I'm too lazy to cause trouble.
Pulling Qin Wuyang along, the eldest daughter was unusually excited, clinging to Xue Li's leg and refusing to let go.
Sherry was somewhat enjoying the little girl's affectionate touch. The little girl waited for a long time, but seeing that she didn't react, she finally reluctantly imitated her nephew's coquettish manner.
Sherry found it somewhat horrifying, after all, she couldn't really treat her like a child.
She had always tried to act like an adult, and now, seeing Sherry's reaction, she tried her best to keep a straight face and pretend nothing had happened.
In the end, Sherry decided to take her with her and just hand her over to Loge later.
As Sherry walked, she thought to herself that the child definitely didn't take after her.
No one is as pretty or cute as her. She's so thoughtful at such a young age; isn't she afraid of going bald?
Their first stop was the Ming Dynasty.
Loge's expression nearly cracked when he saw them.
However, he felt relieved when he thought about how his mother had disguised herself.
Yesterday, Fei was quite happy to see him; she loved checking her second brother's account books.
Loge immediately shifted his attention and took his sister to pick out some treasures.
Sherry and Qin Wuyang went out shopping and sightseeing.
When they returned to the courtyard that Log had arranged for them that night, Log told them about his wedding arrangements.
After hesitating for a few days, Huang Taiji finally decided to choose a Mongol woman as Loge's wife.
At the same time, he also selected four princesses from the Eight Banners as his secondary consorts.
Sherry discreetly observed Log's expression, but Log's expression remained unchanged.
"Aren't you happy? Five wives all at once~" Shirley was genuinely curious.
Loge blushed slightly: "It's alright, I was mentally prepared."
“That’s true, men are emotionless, they only love power. You certainly won’t be disappointed.” Sherry felt her assessment was quite accurate.
Qin Wuyang just smiled at her, his eyes seeming to flash with light.
"Mother, you—" Loge cautiously glanced at Sherry and then at his stepfather.
