Chapter 141 The eldest prince's wife
My aunt has me in her heart!
She can't bear to leave me either!
I have to go see her! Somehow!
Oh yeah! I also have Folgon!!
Uncle smashes it!!! Your prince... No, your brother-in-law, here I come!
As he grew older, Yinreng became more and more certain about what this feeling in his heart was.
Although he remained restrained on the surface, his heart had already become like Peng Chun when he arrived in Tsarist Russia, with the free and unrestrained phase rushing forward.
Therefore, even if he and Zhun Yierha were not in the palace, with the tacit approval of Kangxi himself, with Fulgon acting as the middleman, Yinreng sending gifts to Dong'e Gege, and Dong'e Gege giving gifts in return to the bigwigs in the palace, the "Golden Triangle Trade" did not end.
It's just a change of person and a change of rhetoric.
That is to say, the Queen Mother could not help but sigh every time she received a gift, as she felt that there was one less precious granddaughter in the palace.
So since He Zhun Yierha left the Cining Palace, a hot topic that was not open to the public has quietly become popular.
Queen Mother Qiqige’s daily question: My precious beauty, when will you marry into the royal family?
In response to this, the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, whose ears were almost callused, sighed repeatedly, while Su Malagu and Concubine Ning Que, who occasionally listened in, just smiled and said nothing.
"You, look forward to her having a good time out there for a few years."
"Oh, aunt, with me by her side, she will be indispensable when touring the palaces in the south and north. She will definitely be more comfortable than staying at home.
I don’t want to let my beauty live the same miserable life I did, like a bird in a cage.”
Concubine Ning Que will never forget how much wealth her small donation brought to her Dong E family.
Even the princesses of the same emperor are divided into different ranks.
If a prince is capable, he will be promoted one level; if he is favored by the emperor, he will be promoted one level; if he is favored by the ancestors... he will be promoted more than one level, but will be directly awarded a golden medal of immunity from death.
What's more, this Dong'e Gege was trying to please not just one ancestor, but two and a half.
Su Malagu, who followed the Empress Dowager, was also half a centenarian in the palace.
Concerning this topic, Concubine Ning Que kept her mouth shut and did not let any information out of the palace.
Only after she received the grace of Emperor Kangxi and was allowed to live in Prince Yu's mansion for retirement did she quietly convey these things to Fucha at a small banquet.
Fu Cha was delighted in her heart, but her face remained motionless. She continued to serve tea to Concubine Ning Que, acting like a respectful and obedient daughter-in-law who was filial to her mother-in-law after several generations.
He Zhun Yierha simply pretended that nothing had happened. She did not run around the palace, nor did she stick to Crown Prince Yinreng.
As always, I put my daily life and studies as my top priority. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, I go to the temple to fast and pray for my family members who are away on expeditions. Then I express my gratitude to the big guys above me, and finally take care of the prince.
Such behavior finally made the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, who was psychologically challenged, once again give Dong E Gege an excellent score.

This year is an election year.
Under the manipulation of Nalan's party and Kangxi's balancing act, Irgen Gioro was married to the eldest prince Yinzhen according to the destiny.
Nalan Mingzhu and Concubine Hui both hoped that Yinzhen could marry a wife whose maternal family was prominent and who could give Yinzhen a bargaining chip in his bid for the throne.
They totally looked down upon the Irgen Gioro clan.
But Kangxi only hoped that the eldest prince's wife could bring some dignity to Yinzhen, rather than more political support.
As the adopted sister of Nalan Mingzhu, Yinzhen naturally had the support of Nalan Mingzhu's followers, as well as the Yehenara clan and the bondservant Ulanara clan.
Since half a year before the election, he had been aware of all the little actions of Nalan Mingzhu and Concubine Hui.
He didn't want factionalism centered around the prince to start so early.
Therefore, Irgen Gioro, who was a high-ranking official but had a weak family background, became the best choice in Kangxi's mind as the eldest prince's wife.
Although there was the unpleasantness of the Longkodo case, it was a student's mistake after all. If the blame is placed on the elderly Korkun, it would be like false accusations.
Kangxi believed that he was not such a person, and he could not let his old ministers down by his groundless suspicion.
As a result, Irgen Jueluo was successfully selected without any trouble.
All arrangements were handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the wedding was completed in February of the following year.
Such a "useless" daughter-in-law made Concubine Hui very unhappy.
Therefore, she had no interest in participating in the Ministry of Rites' preparations for Yinzhen's wedding, and would not spend more of her family's money to prepare anything for him.
In her opinion, the things brought by the people below as filial piety will have to be put to good use in the future.
After all, the eldest prince's wife is useless, and she has to use money to do everything herself.
……
Peng Chun was the type who guessed the questions correctly in the three-year simulation and was in a state of frenzy for a long time.
The four children brought from home also gained some fortitude and courage through the trials of war.
There is no better way to accumulate experience than practice.
Even the fourth son, Achuhun, who had always been faintly timid and had a little inferiority complex, after staying in the military camp for a long time, not only walked with a straighter back, but also spoke with less hesitation and stammering. In addition, he had more of the elegance of a scholar, and was teased by everyone in the army as the "Second Young Master."
The first son was Erdenbu, who also studied literature.
Although as a military strategist, he generally does not have to go to the front line.
But Erdenbu did a lot of things himself, such as standing guard and even drawing maps as a vanguard.
The conditions in the border areas were harsh, and within two months he became like Erhe.
Even if the Eight Banners took the imperial examination, there was also a martial arts test, so Erdenbu could only be said to be not excellent in martial arts, but he would definitely not be a drag in the army.
The eldest son Zengshou is not as brave as his father, and not as smart as his younger brothers who are well-educated. He is the type of person who is hexagonal but not strong and just mediocre.
Through deliberate cultivation with Jun Yilha and one-on-one instruction from his father over the years, although his lifespan increase is still developing in a hexagonal pattern, the scope covered is obviously wider.
Under the joint education of Hezhun Yierha and Fucha, Zengshou did not feel frustrated at all about the fact that he had no great talent and was not excellent in any subject.
If you can't do it yourself, then try your best to help your son.
As long as he doesn't make any mistakes, even if he doesn't make any achievements, as long as he unites his brothers, gets along well with his wife and has many children, he can keep the Dong'e family in a good situation. Then he can hand over power to his sons and grandsons. Father, mother and younger sister will figure out the rest!
Hehe, his longevity is actually just due to his inner talent.
He had always aspired to be the most profitable person in the Dong E family, and finally realized his ambition.
Now, after following his father in winning the war against Tsarist Russia brilliantly, he can live his life peacefully in Beijing with his wife and children!
Speaking of which, my younger sister said that the emperor will arrange a marriage for him.
Which lady will the emperor give him?
In fact, he doesn't have a particular type of crush. As long as she has a good personality, isn't ugly, doesn't fight at home, is willing to accept his younger siblings, is willing to have more children with him, and can chat with him...
But thinking about the lady without a real face, Zengshou felt happy.
With so many people in the family, to be honest, who could be more blessed and happier than him in terms of longevity?
After returning to the capital, Zengshou also wanted to study the ways of business.
I don't want to get rich, but I just want to keep the family business to provide for my father and mother in their old age, save up some decent dowry and future subsidies for my younger sister, give some New Year's money and pocket money to my younger brothers during festivals, save some money to marry a wife and buy her gifts, and finally save some money to secretly give red envelopes to my great-grandchildren in the future...
There are so many places to spend money.
