"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. How could I have deliberately concealed this from you? This Borjigit Gege is the granddaughter of the Khorchin Prince and the great-niece of the Empress Dowager.
Since the death of the Queen Mother, Khorchin was not as powerful as before, so the Prince of Khorchin wanted to send his granddaughter into the palace to bring benefits to Khorchin.
That Borjigit princess entered the palace yesterday. I wanted to tell you, but you were so tired that you went to bed early. I couldn't bear to wake you, so I didn't have time to tell you."
Borjigit Gege?
Mu Sili carefully recalled the story of this princess, and suddenly remembered that in history, Kangxi had a concubine from Khorchin, who was not named Xuanfei until many years later. She thought it must be this princess.
However, no one has entered the harem for a long time. She is afraid that it will not work if she wants to enter the harem to compete for favor.
"Get ready, I want to go to the Cining Palace to take a look."
"yes."
In the Cining Palace, Empress Xiaozhuang looked indifferently at the restless woman sitting below her. This was her brother's granddaughter and the Empress Dowager's biological sister.
Unfortunately, after the Empress Dowager did those things, she was also dissatisfied with her brother's family. It was simply wishful thinking for this niece to want to enter Kangxi's harem and become a concubine.
"You came to the Qing Dynasty just for marriage, right?"
"To the Empress Dowager, yes."
Borjigit Gege was a little panicked. She could feel that Empress Xiaozhuang's attitude towards her was very ordinary, not as warm as when she went to Korchin that year.
She didn't know why, but it seemed that after the death of her sister, the Empress Dowager, Empress Xiaozhuang was not as kind to them as before.
She once wondered if the Empress Dowager had done something to anger her great-aunt Xiaozhuang, which was why she suddenly changed her attitude towards Korchin.
However, apart from no longer giving preferential treatment to Korchin, Xiaozhuang did not vent her anger on them, which made her doubts about her suspicions.
"Grandfather, Yinzhi and Yinreng have come to pay their respects to you. What are you doing?"
Xiaozhuang changed her cold attitude and looked towards the door with a smile on her face.
This was the little cub she had watched grow from white to black with her own eyes. He was different from her other great-grandchildren.
"I'm entertaining guests, why are you two here? Didn't you say your mother is pregnant? Why don't you go over and take a look?"
"Grandfather, the Empress Dowager has become more aggressive recently. Yinzhi is afraid. Can he stay in the Cining Palace for a while?
With you here, the Empress Dowager will be more restrained and won't beat Yinzhi at every turn."
Xiaozhuang looked at him speechlessly. He must have said something to annoy Mu Sili again, otherwise she would not be angry with her personality.
Looking at Yinreng who was also speechless beside her, she confirmed her guess.
"Xiao Si, tell the old ancestor, but your third brother has angered the queen?"
"Grandfather, Third Brother's nonsense has angered the Empress Dowager. According to Yinreng's analysis, the Empress Dowager will be here soon."
Sure enough, the sound of the queen arriving was heard outside the door.
"I pay my respects to the Empress. Oh, this must be Princess Borjigit. As the Empress, I should have received you first. I was negligent."
Borjigit Gege's face turned pale instantly. She only thought that she was the great-grandniece of Empress Xiaozhuang, but forgot that this was the Qing Dynasty.
As the queen, she should pay her respects to Mu Sili before coming to the Cining Palace.
"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. I was negligent. Please do not mind."
"After all, she is the royal family, so it's only natural that you're anxious to see her.
"Madam, where is Yinzhi? I heard him talking just now, how come he disappeared when I came in?"
Xiaozhuang gave her a reproachful look and said, "You scared the child."
"Fourth brother, what are you secretly happy about?"
Chengqing's voice rang out, instantly drawing everyone's attention over.
Yinreng's gloating expression was seen by everyone.
"Brother, I'm happy that the Empress Dowager has another brother or sister. But Empress Dowager, your son already has three brothers. Can you give him a sister this time?"
Yinreng successfully drew everyone's attention back to Mu Sili, then gave Chengqing a sad look.
How could Big Brother draw everyone's attention to him?
Third brother is so unreasonable, he deserves to be beaten up. But now, we can’t see him getting beaten up.
Chengqing couldn't understand why Yinreng was so happy to trick Yinzhi. They were twins, so shouldn't they rely on each other?
How come Yinzhi is still like that when he was a kid, while Yinreng has become a deceitful man?
"Fourth brother, you've wronged third brother like this, he must be very sad."
Yinreng rolled his eyes. If Yinzhi was really angry, he would never do such a thing. Didn’t you see that his attention was attracted by the Empress Dowager again?
"Big brother, you don't know, but the third brother is so unreliable. He agreed to study with his younger brother, but who knew he would run away after just two days.
My younger brother is good at studying, but he's not very good at riding and shooting. My third brother is just the opposite. We agreed to help each other improve, but he just went out to play on his own. It's so annoying."
Shang Chengqing was speechless at this point. He thought their relationship had deteriorated, but he didn't expect that it was Yinzhi who was unreliable and had betrayed Yinreng first.
Xiaozhuang and Mu Sili discussed the gender of her unborn baby, Yinzhi interjected from time to time, Chengqing and Yinreng discussed how to learn riding and shooting well, and everything seemed harmonious.
This was the first time that Borjigit Gege was ignored like this. She felt angry and aggrieved. She didn't understand why Xiaozhuang ignored her blood-related niece and instead favored her granddaughter-in-law.
"I almost forgot about Princess Borjigit. Madam, why did Princess come to Beijing this time?"
Xiaozhuang glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Borjigit Gege, and spoke of Prince Khorchin's purpose without any fluctuation in her eyes.
"She said she came to propose marriage, which is perfect. Could you please help me decide who would be the most suitable wife for her?
After all, they are my family, and marrying too low will not be good for my family's reputation."
"Yes, I'll go back and take a look. I remember there's a suitable candidate within the royal family. I'll let you know after I confirm it."
"good."
Princess Borjigit was a little stunned. Wasn't she going to marry Kangxi as a concubine? How did she end up marrying into the royal family?
She is not stupid and doesn't know the difference between the royal family and the imperial family!
"Grand Empress Dowager, this humble servant has come to the capital to marry the Emperor as his consort. How can I marry someone from the royal family?
After all, I am your grandniece, and you are from Khorchin. If I really marry a son of the royal family, wouldn't it be a disgrace to you?"
Xiaozhuang suddenly showed a sarcastic smile. If she was not from Khorchin, she would not let her marry into the royal family. Now she dared to despise the person she married just because he was a member of the royal family?
