Chapter 143 Chaos, Too Chaos
"Xuan Ye..."
She held Kangxi's hand and spoke with some melancholy.
“Your grandmother has told you since you were a child that the words of the people in this palace are scary and their hearts are cruel.
My grandmother lived like this all her life.
We were not close friends and did not trust each other, but now that my grandmother is about to be buried, she received such a big gift.
I feel guilty..."
"This girl really treats me as her ancestor, but I...but..."
Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng was hesitant to speak, Kangxi comforted her as a matter of course.
"Grandma, it is her blessing to be favored by you."
“Yes, she is a blessed and good child.
People are all made of flesh and blood.
Xuanye, your grandmother is old, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to survive this.
It's a rare opportunity to celebrate for a few days and let grandma see some happy things and have fun."
Kangxi understood what the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng meant and preached to her:
"It will be February soon, and Baoqing will get married."
"Yinzhen is getting married. That's good, very good."
But in fact, at this time, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng did not pay much attention to her eldest great-grandson. What she was most concerned about was the crown prince and the affairs between her and Jun Yierha.
So she raised her eyes and looked at Kangxi, trying to convey the meaning of her eyes.
"Why not take this opportunity to settle down the little ones as well."
"Okay, okay, no problem, Grandmother."
How could Kangxi refuse the old man's dying wish?
But he also has his own persistence, just Tao,
“It’s just that the Crown Prince’s wedding cannot be simple, but the third and fourth sons can come early.
Don't say such discouraging words, Yinzhen can give you a great-grandson first!"
"well……"
Even if it is just an arranged marriage, the king's words are binding and his promises are binding.
In addition, as the Empress Dowager who is still able to take a breath, there will be no room for any mistakes in this marriage.
This was for the prince's youthful admiration, for Dong E's rare sincerity, and for Qiqige's request.
She... in the end, this is all she could do for these children.
After eating the bowl of pears, Empress Dowager Zhaosheng fell asleep.
It was rare that she had a long and peaceful sleep, and her groggy head felt much better.
In this long dream, there is always the lingering warmth of the sun and the scent of green grass.
Borjigit Bumbutai knew that it was the taste of her hometown that she was almost forgetting.
She was afraid she was going to leave.
Her body was growing weaker and weaker, but the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng discovered that her mind was not cloudy.
This is fine. This is fine.
So, two days later.
"I obey the order of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng.
I have heard that the daughter of Peng Chun, the first-class impartial Manchu general of the Red Banner, is Dong E.
She was gracious, generous, kind and honest. She was brought up in the palace since childhood and served as the nurse of the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
I was very pleased to hear this.
Although the prince is still young, he should choose a virtuous girl to marry him.
At that time, Dong E and Zhun Yi Erha were still waiting to be married, and they were made for the prince. In order to make them beautiful, they were betrothed to the prince as his legitimate wife.
All ceremonies were jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Director of the Imperial Observatory, and an auspicious date was chosen for the wedding.
The announcement was made at home and abroad, and the envoys heard about it.
Admire this. "
An imperial edict written by the emperor on his behalf was thrown at Dong E's mansion.
At the same time, there were three more imperial edicts to be issued.
1. He granted her marriage with Fucha, the daughter of Alantai, the Minister of Personnel, as the legitimate wife of the third prince Yinzhi.
Fuca Alantai, a member of the Manchu Bordered Blue Banner, is currently the Minister of Personnel. Emperor Kangxi wants to promote him to the position of Chief Editor of the National History of Three Dynasties and make him the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace.
Paired with Yinzhi, who loved reading since childhood, their family background and the temperament of the woman they brought up could be described as a perfect match.
Even if it was just to help the Empress Dowager put her mind at ease, Kangxi was still very concerned about the third child, who had been with him since childhood but had some minor defects.
Second, he granted her a marriage with Guaerjia, the daughter of Shi Wenbing, the third-class earl and commander of the Han army of the White Banner, as the legitimate wife of the fourth prince Yinzhen.
Since childhood, Yinzhen has been more devoted to Confucianism and reading than the third prince.
It is also appropriate to match her with the Guwalja clan, which is famous in the Jiangnan region.
However, Shi Wenbing's official position would not be promoted in the future, and the women in his family were not allowed to marry members of the royal family.
Although Guwalgiya has learned a lot of Han culture, he is too flamboyant and does not know how to restrain himself. He needs some discipline and training.
The two of them are still relatively young now, otherwise this marriage certificate for the principal wife would definitely be followed by a marriage certificate for the concubine wife.
Kangxi took note of this plan and decided to make it happen later when Yinzhen was old enough.
But Kangxi had never thought at this time that since Guaerjia's behavior made him so dissatisfied, why should he use the method of suppressing her with a concubine as a roundabout way to solve the problem instead of simply replacing her with a more attractive one.
He is the emperor!
Third, Ulanara, the daughter of Fei Yanggu, the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Guard, was granted marriage as the legitimate wife of the fifth prince Yinqi.
Originally, because of the Empress Dowager's repeated favors for Yinqi, Kangxi wanted to choose a wife with a relatively low net worth for Xiaowu.
But... the words of the Empress Dowager forced him to think more.
“Although Xiaowu is favored by the Queen Mother, if Fu Jin is of too low a birth, it is inevitable that her vision and conversation will not be able to keep up with the requirements of the royal family.
The legitimate wife is the mistress, so one should marry a virtuous woman.
How could a person from a small family gain Yinqi's respect and settle down there in the future?
Moreover, Xuanye, you have many children, and Xiaowu Fujin will be considered a half-sister-in-law and elder in the future. If your birth is too low, how will you behave in front of your younger brothers and sisters?"
The Empress Dowager's words made Kangxi ponder for more than a quarter of an hour.
Xiaowu is able to take his place in filial piety to the Queen Mother, so he is naturally a good child who can help him share his worries.
Moreover, this child was raised by the Queen Mother. Although he is indeed a little stupid, he is a very gentle and honest person. At such a young age, his smile can make people feel like the Buddha in the temple.
He couldn't bear to plant such a huge hidden danger for the child's later life for the sake of so-called balance, so he decided to marry him to the daughter of Ulanara.
Although the Ulanara clan was a prominent Manchu clan, the girl was the youngest in the family. Her father had died early and her family was already in decline. Although she was also from the Ulanara clan, her family did not control the Imperial Household Department like Huifei's mother's family did, and she had no contact with them.
Once an imperial decree granting marriage was issued, it would be a good idea to bring Ulanara, who had no one to rely on at home, to the palace and educate her in front of the empress dowager. Who knows, maybe she could raise another Bodhisattva.
Haha, I’m a genius too.
……
One imperial decree and three imperial edicts, the initial game between the taskers has determined the winner.
The capital city, which had been depressed because of the serious illness of Empress Dowager Zhaosheng, suddenly became boiling with excitement because of these successive imperial edicts.
This result was far beyond Irgen Jueluo's expectations.
According to history, were the marriages granted to concubines so numerous and so early?
There is too little information given in "The Battle for Succession of Nine Dragons", but even without combining it with history, she knows that things should not have been like this!
The Crown Princess became the Third Lady Dong E.
The third wife turned out to be a woman named Fu Cha, whom no one had ever heard of.
The Fourth Lady became the Crown Princess Guaerjia.
And the Fifth Lady went from being the daughter of a small clerk to becoming the queen!
It’s messy, it’s too messy!
This Guaerjia was obviously the one on a mission. She was deliberately heading straight for the position of the Fourth Lady, but how did she achieve her goal so accurately?
Obviously her reputation in the capital has become so bad...
Ah! Is it because it was rotten that she could not be the Crown Princess, so she became the Fourth Lady?
