When we arrived at Mulan Paddock, we had to receive the Mongolian tribes.

Changning was thinking about Mengguqing, and discussed with Yinzhen whether they could get in touch with the Ujumchin tribe.

Yinzhen was also thinking about this. After all, the Ujumchin tribe was one of his biggest trump cards and he really needed to contact them, so he sent his confidants to Ujumchin.

When he held a banquet with the princes and dukes of various Mongolian tribes in the evening, Yinzhen was afraid of disturbing her pregnancy, so he asked her to stay in the felt tent and not go out and get hurt.

He ordered someone to send a whole roasted lamb, and asked Hongmin and Hongchen to come and accompany her. He also persuaded Fourteenth to let his concubine Shushujueluo Wanhe come and chat with her.

Changning didn't really want to go to the banquet. Those Mongolians were singing and dancing, and they liked to urge people to drink. She could only watch.

Wanhe brought Hongchun with her this time. Hongchun was in the front with Hongyan and the others, so she didn't have to take care of him. She was happy not to have to look after the child.

"Sister Fucha, are you feeling okay this time?" Wanhe cut the mutton with a knife and handed it to her. Seeing her eating the mutton fiercely and viciously, she suddenly felt that her question was in vain.

Chang Ning drank some grape juice to relieve the greasiness: "It's very good, but I just love to sleep. The mutton here in Mongolia is more delicate and mellow, and has no smell of mutton. But I can't eat too much, what a pity."

Wan He smiled: "Who told you to have another baby now?"

Over the years, Wanhe gave birth to two more daughters in addition to Hongchun.

Although she was no longer as favored as she was in the past, as time passed, the Fourteenth Master gradually missed her good qualities, such as gentleness and consideration. Moreover, she was now full of mature charm, and more attractive than she was in the past.

However, Wanhe did not give him much love, and her life was quite enjoyable.

"Yun Chun is pregnant again and is staying in Beijing to take care of her pregnancy." Wan He smiled, "She and the Thirteenth Master are really in love now, and they have given birth to many children over the years."

Changning ate another piece of lamb chop and put down her chopsticks. Chuixue brought her a cucumber to help her get rid of the greasiness.

"How wonderful! Finally, the clouds have cleared and the moon is shining."

Wan He nodded: "That's right, our wife is also like this, and her relationship with the Fourteenth Master has improved a lot. Even Hongming is getting older now..."

Changning understood what she had not said. The issue between the eldest son and the legitimate son would always exist.

"Don't worry, just look at the attitude of the Fourteenth Master."

Wan He sneered: "Him? What plans does he have? If he had considered us mothers, I wouldn't have been so unreliable with him."

Changning felt that Fourteenth was thinking too simply. His eyes were now on the court. As for the backyard, as long as there was no fire, it would be fine.

The Fourteenth Prince's residence was still a rare quiet place. The wife had status, Wanhe was favored, and neither of them was a troublemaker, otherwise there would have been a commotion in his backyard, just like the Third Prince's residence back then.

Speaking of the Third Prince's Mansion, Wanhe continued to share gossip with her.

"I don't know what medicine the Third Lady took. I heard that Concubine Tian's daughter is going to be raised in the main courtyard."

Chang Ning stopped eating meat and started thinking: "Doesn't the Third Lady have two daughters herself?"

Changning had the impression that the third princess, born to Concubine Tian, ​​was of similar age to Hutuli and they were good playmates.

The eldest and second princesses were born to the third wife, and they were as arrogant as their mother.

Wan He nodded: "Yes, the eldest and second princesses were born to the Third Lady, and they are already in their teens this year. Tian's daughter is not much younger than the two princesses."

Seeing Wan He's meaningful gaze, Chang Ning understood and whispered, "She is...looking for a..."

No wonder, the eldest and second princesses have always looked down on the third princess, and the sisters often have conflicts, which have happened several times in Hutuli.

Tian and the Third Lady had a bad relationship to begin with. The life of Tian's son was between them, and for the sake of their daughter, the two were even more at loggerheads.

Now that the Third Lady wants the Third Princess to go over, her intention is clear as day.

Isn't it that there is only one princess left in the Prince of Zhi's Mansion? Who in the Prince's Family would dare to imagine that the next one to be pacified would be their Third Prince's Mansion?

This is to use Sangegra as a scapegoat.

"Is Tian willing?" Changning didn't believe that a woman like Tian would just sit there and wait for death. After all, she had forced the Third Lady to have almost no place to stand.

Wan He's eyes darkened. "While making a scene, Tian was almost about to kneel down in the street. She was going to take the scene to the clan house, but she was slapped in the face by the Third Prince."

Changning didn't know what to say, and he didn't have any appetite to continue eating.

Wanhe herself has two daughters. Although they are young, how can she not make plans for them?

She knew that the Fourteenth Prince was unreliable, and the Fourth Prince still had some ability. He doted on Sister Fucha so much, and had been doing so for ten years, so maybe he could find a way.

Wan He's voice couldn't be any softer: "Sister Fu Cha, can't you... abolish Fu Meng..."

Changning's heart was slightly moved.

Kangxi wanted the princesses and the ladies from various mansions to pacify Mongolia simply to strengthen the ties with the Mongolian tribes. After all, at this time, in order to resist the Dzungar Khanate, Mongolia was an object that had to be won over and guarded against.

Marrying a princess over was the most convenient way. It not only helped to win over people through marriage, but also planted spies over, allowing the noble princess of the Qing Dynasty to control power in Mongolia.

In other words, this is also an alternative kind of "sweetness".

Changning also felt a tightness in his chest.

She suddenly remembered that during the Qianlong period, the princess born to Empress Xiaoxian was also brought to Mongolia, but the princess's mansion was built in the capital, and the princess did not have to go to Mongolia.

This is also a good idea, but it must be based on the unprecedented strengthening of control over Mongolia.

According to the normal course of history, it would have to wait until the Qianlong period to be accomplished. But now, with the variable of Mengguqing and her influence in Ujumchin, which will then radiate throughout Mongolia, perhaps it can be accomplished ahead of time.

In this way, when Yinzhen successfully ascended the throne, he could build a princess's palace in the capital, imitating the one built by Empress Xiaoxian's legitimate princess, and there would be no need to go to Mongolia again.

Chang Ning had a plan in mind, but she didn't tell Wan He. She knew what Wan He meant, and she didn't want to let these beautiful girls go to the cold wind of Mongolia. But she couldn't easily say something that hadn't happened yet.

Wanhe was such a smart person that she didn't even need to hear Changning say it herself. Just by looking at her relieved expression, she knew that this matter must be resolved. She felt relieved and changed the subject with a smile.

As for the previous banquet, Kangxi did not know what kind of elixir he had taken, but now he looked much better and was able to chat and laugh happily with the Mongolian princes.
