Later, she gradually took over some local power, and now her princess residence is in Guihua City, where she has a very high political status. Her influence can be seen in many local political decisions.
It's worth noting that this princess married in the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, and it's only the 45th year of his reign now. In just nine years, she has completely integrated into the local community and is very kind and considerate to the local people, which has earned her their acceptance.
It's important to understand that integrating into the local community is incredibly difficult. Many princesses and noblewomen who married into Mongolian tribes faced isolation from their entire household and died within a few years.
Moreover, she has gradually infiltrated political decision-making, which is quite remarkable. She can be said to be the kind of princess that Kangxi hoped for, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is the most successful princess that Kangxi cultivated.
Furthermore, it maintained stability in the Khalkha steppe to a certain extent. It's important to understand that the Khalkha steppe is not a monolithic entity; it comprises 20 banners, one Khan, two princes, one duke, two beile, seven assistant dukes, and eight first-class Taiji. With so many titles, divided into several factions, major wars were rare. However, minor disputes always occurred annually, with conflicts and battles between tribes, involving territory disputes, the seizure of women, cattle, and sheep.
Since the princess married into the family, she has stabilized the situation quite well. Even if they are not completely of one mind, at least they have managed to do so on the surface, which is quite remarkable.
The princess now lives in Qingshuihe, has begun to acquire land and engage in farming, and has received strong support and love from the local people.
Therefore, the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess idolized their Fourth Aunt. They knew from a young age that they would be married off in the future, so they did not object to it.
Although the two sisters felt a little envious of the marriage their father had arranged for their second sister, they quickly recovered. After all, their second sister was gentle and quiet, and their father must have been worried about her marrying into Mongolia, hence his actions. While they were somewhat jealous, they wouldn't harbor resentment or hurt their second sister; everyone has their own aspirations.
Besides, this is the Emperor's decree; how could I disobey it? I could only accept it calmly, make good preparations, and try to survive in the northern desert.
The mother and her two daughters bickered and argued, and the afternoon passed by just like that.
Princess Fan knew that making a fuss would be useless. The only thing she could do now was to prepare herself. As a princess, there was nothing she could do but take out all her savings. She couldn't rely on her family.
In addition, Princess Fan knew that when the eldest princess, born to the Fujin, got married, the Fujin gave her many Mongolian slaves, hoping to obtain some for her daughters so that they would not be isolated and helpless after marriage.
After figuring things out, Consort Fan didn't delay and went to serve the Fujin (the wife) every day, being very attentive and considerate.
From then on, Concubine Chao and Consort Fan frequently appeared in the main courtyard to serve her diligently.
Five days later, Fan Gege found an opportunity and knelt before He Zhuo.
He Zhuo knew that she had something to ask for, but he didn't say it out loud. During this period, he accompanied the two of them in and out of the main courtyard.
He Zhuo herself was also a mother, and they did this only for their daughters, so they did nothing to harm them.
"Your Highness, you know me well. I have always respected and revered you, and I would never dare to be disrespectful in the slightest." Even as she said this, Consort Fan was actually quite nervous. To her, the Princess Consort was someone she looked up to.
Moreover, during her twenty years in the inner courtyard, she had developed a great deal of awe for the Fujin (principal wife), even though everyone said the Fujin was gentle and kind. However, she knew that this was just an appearance; in this inner courtyard, there was nothing the Fujin couldn't accomplish.
