Chapter 308 Fu Jin 17

When it was evening, Fu Jin saw the prince coming back from outside, and hurried to greet him and said, "Prince, Qi Qi Ge must have had a lot of fun this time. Now that she has come back, she has been telling me what she saw and how she played." After that, Fu Jin helped the prince undress and continued, "Hearing her talk about these things, I also find it interesting."

When Prince Wuerjin Galapu heard what his wife said, he couldn't help but laugh and nodded, "Yes, wife, Qiqige really had a lot of fun this time. Her smart and lively personality made the royal concubine praise her endlessly. She was the happiest one this time out." As he spoke, Prince Wuerjin Galapu remembered Qiqige's lovely appearance and couldn't help laughing again.

However, when he thought of what Kangxi had said to him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared. Fu Jin noticed the change in the prince's expression, and her heart tightened. She asked with concern: "Isn't this good? Why is the prince a little worried? Did something happen to Qiqige?"

Prince Wuerjin Galapu sighed, looked at his wife, and said slowly: "Wife, don't worry, Qiqige is fine, we are back safely. It's just..." He hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say it.

Fu Jin was extremely anxious and asked, "Just what? Your Majesty, please tell me quickly!" Prince Wuerjin Galapu took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's just that Your Majesty likes Qiqige, and the strength of the Abahai tribe has increased a lot in recent years. I'm afraid that what happens to Qiqige in the future will be decided by Your Majesty."

"Your Highness, you mean Qiqige is going to..." Fu Jin didn't finish her words, but her meaning was very clear. Qiqige was about to go to the Forbidden City, which meant that she would enter a completely unfamiliar environment and face many unknown difficulties. As parents, they could not change this decision, but they were full of worries.

Prince Wuerjin Galapu nodded. He understood Fu Jin's worries. "Your Highness, is this the only way? Qi Qige's personality will restrict her if she goes there." Fu Jin knew her daughter's personality. Qi Qige was cheerful and could not tolerate any sand in her eyes.

"Fujin, the situation is actually not too bad. With Qiqige's identity and status, she is very likely to be betrothed to a prince. At present, the only ones of similar age to Qiqige are the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince. However, according to the current emperor's thoughts, the Fifth Prince was raised by the Empress Dowager and naturally belongs to the Mongolian lineage. The Ninth Prince is the Fifth Prince's brother, and the emperor does not want to see our Mongolian tribes too united. Therefore, the most likely candidate to become Qiqige's husband is the Tenth Prince." Prince Wuerjin Galapu analyzed in detail to Fujin.

This is also the reason why he did not stop Qiqige and the Tenth Prince from getting along. Only when they had some feelings for each other in childhood could they take the initiative in the future.

"Tenth Prince? Since Your Majesty has said this, we must start preparing from now on." After hearing what the prince said, Fu Jin knew that they could only accept it, but they had to prepare for their daughter.

They could only protect their daughter for a few years. When Qiqige reached a certain age, she would be taken to the Forbidden City. From then on, except for special circumstances, they could only meet Qiqige a few times. Moreover, the distance was too far and they would not know how Qiqige was doing or whether she would be wronged. They could not support her either. Although the Empress Dowager was from the same Borjigit clan as them, one was from Khorchin and the other from Mo Nan, so they had some relationship but not much. They could not rely on the Empress Dowager to support their daughter either.

More importantly, although there is no friction between the two tribes now, as the Abahai tribe gradually becomes stronger and gets closer to the Qing Dynasty, it will definitely affect the special relationship between Khorchin and the Qing Dynasty. The two tribes will have friction and disputes at that time, and the best result is that the Queen Mother will not make things difficult for Qiqige.

Therefore, they must prepare in advance to make Qiqige get more important attention in the Forbidden City, so that others dare not look down on him casually. Therefore, the eyes of the Prince of Wuerjin Galapu of the Abahai tribe flashed. They must make the tribe stronger, strengthen the connection with the Qing Dynasty, and make Qiqige's position in the Qing Dynasty more important.

"Your Highness, since Qiqige's visit to the Forbidden City is inevitable, we need to find a nanny who is familiar with Qing Dynasty etiquette, preferably one who has served in the palace, to teach Qiqige. Only you can send someone to find her, Your Highness."

Both Fu Jin and Prince Wuerjin Galapu realized the importance of this matter. After all, they knew very little about the situation in the palace, and the complex interpersonal relationships and cumbersome court etiquette all required experienced people to explain and guide them. Only in this way can Qiqige better understand everything in the palace and avoid being misled or used by others.

Prince Wuerjin Galap knew that it was not easy to find a suitable maid from the palace in Mongolia. Most of these maids came with the princesses of the Qing Dynasty who married into Mongolia. The number was limited and difficult to find. However, considering that Qiqige was still young, he decided to send someone to the Qing Dynasty to look for her. He believed that there was still time.

Fujin and the prince kept this matter in mind and planned to make arrangements.

At the same time, Qiqige, who had just returned home, was in a particularly good mood. She first let Qingyang go, who had followed her home, and then told Erile that he could move freely and go to a familiar place to play. Seeing Qingyang running away happily and Erile quickly disappearing from sight, Qiqige felt extremely relaxed. At this moment, she just wanted to have a good rest and enjoy the tranquility and freedom.

After all, Qiqige had traveled a long way, and even if she was in good physical condition, she would still feel exhausted. So when she returned to her tent, she couldn't wait to lie down on the chair, thinking about what she was going to say to Eqige later. However, before she knew it, her thoughts gradually became blurred, and she slowly fell asleep. Later, Sanna came in and saw the princess sleeping soundly, so she asked the nanny to pick up the princess, gently put her on the bed, and let her continue to sleep.

The next morning, Qiqige got up on time as usual, finished her daily exercise, had breakfast, and asked Sana about Eqige's situation. Knowing that Eqige had nothing to do now, she went to find him at ease to discuss what she wanted.

"Eqige, your favorite Qiqige is here to see you! But this time, I have something important to discuss with you." Qiqige stepped into Eqige's tent and said happily.

"Haha, Qiqige, what do you want to do with Eqige?" Prince Wuerjin Galapu smiled and lovingly held Qiqige on his lap and asked gently.
