The Third Princess Consort, however, was poised and elegant: "This is our master's Princess Tian, and this is the First Princess Consort."
After Tian Gege bowed to Hezhuo, Hezhuo had someone lead them to a side room, where Fan Gege and Guan Gege entertained them.
Consort Li Jia, the Crown Prince's secondary consort, was in her postpartum period and did not come. Instead, her personal nanny came with gifts.
There was also the Crown Prince's concubine, Lady Liu. Lady Liu was also a candidate for the imperial concubine selection in the 27th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign. She was a candidate for the imperial concubine selection in the same year as the Grand Consort and was given to the Crown Prince. She was quite favored in Yuqing Palace.
He Zhuo accepted the gifts from Consort Li Jia, and similarly had Liu Gege and Fan Gege brought along.
The Fourth Prince's wife also did not come. After Empress Tong's death, the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, expressed his intention to observe three years of mourning and, in accordance with his adoptive mother's wishes, married the Fourth Prince's wife, who was only 10 years old.
Although he was married, he still ate vegetarian food every day, abstaining from meat and women. After the Fourth Prince's wife entered the household, she could only observe mourning with the Fourth Prince and usually did not leave the Fourth Prince's residence. He Zhuo only saw her during the wedding and the New Year.
The Fourth Prince's wife is still a young girl, and these past few years have been just the beginning of her life. She has been following the Fourth Prince in a vegetarian diet, and if she is not handled properly, it will affect her future offspring.
When the Fourth Prince got married, he was still a little boy. Even his tutor was chosen by Empress Tong. After Empress Tong died, the Fourth Prince's request to observe mourning completely enraged Consort De.
Before the Fourth Prince's wedding, Consort De gave him two concubines and one princess, ostensibly to show her concern for the child. In reality, the Fourth Prince was only 13 years old when he got married, and the person who started his education at the age of 12 had already kept Song as a princess. There was no need for so many women. This actually harmed the Fourth Prince's wife. In ordinary families, they would not give their sons any women within three years of their marriage.
Consort De was the epitome of: "If I'm not happy, then nobody else should be happy either."
But it's no use saying anything now, the Fourth Prince has to observe mourning and won't touch anything.
Therefore, the Fourth Prince's wife did not come, but only sent a gift, which everyone understood.
The princesses who were going to study all came. Actually, only princesses who had been granted the title could be called princesses. In the Kangxi era, a princess receiving the title was expected to marry.
The new year has just begun, and Emperor Kangxi has already bestowed the title of princess upon her. The 16-year-old Princess Heshuo Duanjing, the daughter of Consort Bu Zhaojia, has been ordered by Emperor Kangxi to marry into the Kharachin tribe.
Next was the Fifth Princess, who was 10 years old. She was raised by the Empress Dowager from a young age and was born to Consort De. She was the one who would marry into the Tong family. She died two years after her wedding. At the time, the Empress Dowager was taking her to escape the summer heat, and the Fifth Princess died of heatstroke on the way. In fact, the Empress Dowager meant well, but it can only be said that she was unlucky.
However, the Fifth Princess's husband did not fare so well. Yongzheng believed that it was because the Fifth Princess's husband treated her badly that the Empress Dowager took her away to relax, which led to her death. Therefore, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he seized upon the faults of his son-in-law, Tongjia Shun'an Yan, and drove him to his death before stopping, feeling that he had avenged his sister.
In fact, Khoja was most interested in the daughter of Consort Guoluo, the Fourth Princess. Although she was raised under the name of Consort Yi, she would later become the famous "Sea Clam Princess." She was arguably the only daughter of Emperor Kangxi who married into Mongolia and held political power. She even earned her title herself, as Emperor Kangxi did not grant her a title when she married.
This clam princess is only 13 years old now. She inherited the looks of the Guoluo family. Even before she has fully grown up, it is clear that she will be a beautiful woman in the future.
It can be said that other princesses were granted the title of Gulun Princess because of their husbands. Princess Haibang was granted the title twice after her marriage. Although her husbands also played a role, most of it was due to her own reasons: maintaining border stability by marrying into Outer Mongolia; formulating the Outer Mongolia Khalkha Grand Law; and improving land and water conservancy to benefit the people.
She can be described as an extremely capable woman who lived like a princess.
