The mental state is beautiful

This time, Yixiu became the empress dowager and often summoned Qingluo. Seeing that Qingluo was already ten years old, she thought that she could get engaged in a few years.

Yixiu made a special appointment to talk with Ulanara Nurbu's wife, Juechan. After the discussion, he personally arranged a marriage for Qingluo.

Juechan now realizes that her eldest daughter has no ability and that she became a royal concubine with the help of the empress dowager. She also knows that Qingying's mind is full of love and she doesn't care much about the family's future.

So Yixiu was willing to arrange a marriage for Qingluo, and Juechan was very grateful.

Yixiu thought about it again and again, but still couldn't make up his mind.

She had originally set her sights on the eldest grandson of the current regent, Xilin Gioro Ortai. After his death, Ortai was enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple together with Zhang Tingyu.

Moreover, Ortai's descendants are all very promising and will have bright future official careers.

However, as a regent left by the previous emperor, Ortai was able to be used when Hongli was still young and feeble, but whether he could have a good ending in the future is a big question.

A new emperor appoints new ministers. Hongli would eventually train his own people. Yixiu remembered that after Ortai's death, many of his disciples and nephews were dealt with.

Only one son was lucky enough to become the father-in-law of Prince Yongqi.

Yixiu still felt uneasy after all. She was not sure whether she could change the struggle between Ortai and Zhang Tingyu, nor did she believe that Hongli would continue to use these old ministers of the previous emperor.

So Yixiu began to search her memory for officials who were promoted and reused after Hongli.

The descendants of Nianhulu and Nianqin were originally good candidates, but unfortunately Zhen Huan was once a daughter of Nianhulu, and in the original plot, she was very close to Nianqin.

Yixiu felt uncomfortable and naturally no longer considered Niuhulu.

Fu Cha Fu Heng and Qing Luo are of the same age, and both are handsome men at a young age.

However, the Fucha family is in the camp of Queen Fucha Langya.

If Yixiu lets Qingying's sister marry in, Qingluo will probably be caught between the Fucha family and Concubine Xian, and suffer from both sides.

Yixiu also considered the descendants of Zhangjia Yin Jishan, who was from the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner.

It's just that some things that Yin Jishan's father Yin Tai did were really not decent, and Yin Jishan's biological mother Xu was a concubine and had a low status in the family.

Although Yin Jishan later had the support of Hongli and conferred the title of first-rank lady on his biological mother, his father Yin Tai was furious and the situation at home became complicated.

Yixiu thought about it for a long time, but finally rejected it.

In the end, the husband Yixiu chose for Qingluo was Zhang Jiana Yancheng.

Zhangjia Nayancheng was a member of the Manchu Plain White Banner. His grandfather Zhangjia Agui was deeply trusted by Hongli and later became a minister of military affairs. Even Heshen, who was highly regarded by Hongli in the later period, was wary of him.

His father, Zhangjia Abida, was the second son of Agui, and later became the Minister of Works.

Na Yancheng had a good family background and was also very hardworking. At the age of 26, he passed the imperial examination and was selected as a Hanlin Academy student. Soon after, he became an editor in the Hanlin Academy.

Yixiu remembered that Na Yancheng subsequently served as a cabinet scholar, vice minister of the Ministry of Works, vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue, president of the Hanlin Academy, minister of the Ministry of Works, commander-in-chief of the Han army of the Bordered White Banner, minister of the Ministry of Rites, governor-general of Shaanxi and Gansu, governor-general of Zhili, minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Na Yancheng lived to be seventy years old. He had a smooth career and lived through the reign of Hongli, and died a peaceful death.

Such a young talent is now of similar age to Qingluo, and they are a perfect match.

It was also because Na Yancheng was one of the few officials who had a relatively smooth life, so Yixiu's soul paid attention to him when it was wandering around.

Having made up his mind, Yixiu called Juechan again and analyzed the pros and cons of several of them.

As expected, Juechan also had high hopes for Na Yancheng.

With Yixiu taking the lead and Hongli loving Qingying the most, he happily agreed to arrange a marriage for Qingying.

Hongli thought about Zhang Jia Agui and felt that this was a talent worthy of promotion, and lamented that Yixiu had a sharp vision.

At the same time, Hongli was also glad that Yixiu was in poor health, otherwise if she came out to cause trouble, he would probably find it difficult to cope with it.

Yixiu noticed Hongli's thoughts and felt that she was right to pretend to be unwell.

Outside the palace, the imperial edict granting marriage arrived at the residences of Ulanara and Zhangjia, and both parties were very satisfied.

Juechan repeated what Yixiu said, and Nerbu felt that Yixiu was worthy of being his own aunt who was able to survive and turn the tide in the late emperor's harem.

"Qingying is a confused person, but fortunately, the Queen Mother is still here. Now, our Qingluo has found a good home."

"Yes! I hinted to Qingying before, and it turned out that she meant for Qingluo to find someone to love. How can a lady from a noble family casually develop feelings with a man outside? Isn't this nonsense?" Juechan complained.

"Qingying chose this path herself, and she also wants to be like Qingluo. But Qingying married into the royal family, how can it be the same?" Nerbu also frowned.

"When I entered the palace, I found that Qingying was not very close to Qingluo. Perhaps it was because Qingluo was too young when Qingying left home, and the two sisters did not get along well with each other."

Nerbu held Juechan's hand and said, "Don't worry. Doesn't the Queen Mother like Qingluo very much? She often summons her to the palace, and the marriage she chose for Qingluo this time is also very good."

"You are right."

On the other side, Qingluo was looking at the mirror in the room, imagining the future.

Mingfeng, the personal maid, lowered Qingluo's hair and took care of her hair. "Congratulations, young lady, you have found your soulmate!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qingluo's cheeks immediately turned red.

Qingluo applied the beauty cream that Yixiu gave her and found that her skin became whiter.

"Thanks to my aunt, otherwise I don't know where I would end up in the future. My sister told my mother that love is enough to satisfy one's hunger, but she herself has love and a comfortable life, so she doesn't care about my feelings and wants to push me into the fire pit!"

"No way, the Imperial Concubine is the young lady's biological sister."

Before Mingfeng could finish her words, Qingluo immediately interrupted her.

"Mingfeng, my sister and I are different. When my sister was born, our Ulanara family was very prominent. She was used to a life of wealth and luxury. My aunt loved her and often asked her to come to the palace to see the world."

"But when I was born, my family was already in some difficulties. Sister, you don't understand the truth that poor couples are always sad, don't you understand it too?"

"After I entered the palace, I found that all the jewelry on my sister's dressing table were exquisite. Even though they were so luxurious, she just said calmly that they were just ordinary."

"What she saw as ordinary was the extreme way my mother and I dressed up when we went out."

"My sister and I never got along before, but now, after just a few meetings, I found that we couldn't communicate."

Qingluo lowered her head and turned her handkerchief in disappointment.

"Miss, you are now loved by the Queen Mother. When you entered the palace this time, the Queen Mother gave you so many good things and also gave you the best marriage!"

"Yes! Mother said so too. The Queen Mother said that it was a pity that my sister could not become the first wife despite her great help. The Queen Mother also said that she hoped that I would become the head lady of the family in the future and live a peaceful and happy life with my husband."

"How wonderful! There are so many rules in the palace, but Miss is free outside the palace, and with the support of the Queen Mother, her future life will definitely not be bad!"

With Mingfeng's comfort, Qingluo soon became happy again, tidied herself up and went to bed.

Yixiu regained his composure and sighed.

Children who grew up in different circumstances have different thoughts and ideas. Qingying was too noble and thought she was a green plum blossom that stood proudly above the frost.

She could not see the changes in the lives of her family members, nor did she care about the dissatisfaction of the servants around her. Even after being married for so many years, she was still acting like a "young man" all day long.

Yixiu felt relieved when she knew Qingluo was a pragmatic person.

You can look forward to love, but you cannot fall into it completely. Otherwise, if you live in such a muddle-headed way, sooner or later you will fall into a big pit.

After a while, Yixiu summoned Qingluo to the palace again.

"Aunt, the aunt who brought the message said you missed me!"

Looking at Qingluo's lively and pretty appearance, Yixiu knew that she had been living well recently.

"Qingluo, come quickly! Auntie will give you a painting!"

Yixiu waved, Qingluo hurried forward, held Yixiu's hand, and sat down next to Yixiu.

Yixiu unfolded the painting and saw a young man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a noble bearing. The name Na Yancheng was also written on the painting.

Qingluo blushed instantly and buried her head in Yixiu's arms.

Yixiu laughed out loud, and felt mixed emotions when she recalled the original owner's anticipation and shyness when she married the fat orange boy when she was young.

The original owner did not meet her true love, and the original Qingying ended up disappointed. I hope Qingluo can get what she wants.

The women of the Ulanara clan, apart from those who worked hard to enter the palace for their family, also hoped to have a girl who could live a happy and carefree life outside the palace and live a healthy and happy life.

"My aunt asked the painter to approach Na Yancheng and paint this picture after he came back. She only asked for one thing, which was that it had to be realistic."

"After receiving the painting, my aunt asked Huichun to personally inspect it to ensure the credibility of the portrait."

Yixiu found it funny to see Qingluo’s blushing face and her eyes occasionally glancing at the portrait.

She then took out a small sandalwood box, on which was beautifully carved a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water.

Yixiu handed the box to Qingluo, "This is the dowry your aunt gave you. You should take it earlier so that you can get familiar with it and learn how to take care of it in advance."

"Your sister has everything she needs in the palace, so I don't need to worry about this for her. You are outside the palace, and I don't know how long I can stay with you. I just hope you can live a comfortable life."

"aunt!"

"Good boy, stay and have lunch with your aunt today!"

"Princess Qingluo, the Queen Mother ordered the kitchen to prepare your favorite green willow red silk duck and rice dumplings with fermented rice wine."

Huichun brought a few more plates of snacks, and seeing Yixiu happy, she also smiled.

The aunt and niece got along well with each other. When Qingluo left the palace, Huichun personally saw her off without Yixiu's instructions.

"Aunt Huichun, please stay. Qingluo can leave the palace on her own."

"That won't do. The Queen Mother has ordered that whenever Princess Qingluo enters the palace, I must ensure her safe entry and exit. If the Queen Mother knew that I was lazy, I'm afraid I would be punished!"

Huichun looked around, and Qingluo immediately understood and asked Mingfeng to keep watch.

"Princess Qingluo, the Queen Mother said that she knows the situation at home and asked you to help bring a gift home."

Huichun skillfully took out a thick cloth bag and handed it to Qingluo, who immediately put it into her sleeve.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't care about things outside the palace on the surface. Concubine Xian is already favored. If the Empress Dowager continues to support her family, the Emperor will be unhappy if he finds out."

"The Queen Mother is most pleased to find a good marriage for Princess Qingluo. The Queen Mother said that she has been fighting in the palace all her life and knows the hardships best. She is already extremely satisfied to be able to bless Princess Qingluo to have a smooth life."

Qingluo held back her tears, promised to convey all her aunt's words, and left the palace with Mingfeng.

Yixiu was very satisfied with Qingluo's attitude. What hope could the Ulanara family have by relying solely on Qingying?

In the original plot, when Qingying became the queen, the Ulanara family had completely fallen into decline, there was no one in the court, and Qingying herself was pinching money for her own use, so she had never subsidized the family.

If one wants a child with Ulanara bloodline to ascend the throne, it is not enough to just win Hongli's heart.

The mind of an emperor is unpredictable and changeable, so it is more reliable if the family power is strong and the in-laws and old friends are in close contact!

After Qingying gives birth to the baby, Yixiu plans to control Qingying to prevent her from cutting her hair again!

By then, with my secret guidance, the support of the Ulanara family, and the help of relatives like Qingluo's husband's family, it will be reliable.

Yixiu remembered that Zhangjia Agui's daughter married into the royal family and became the legal wife of Prince Zhuang's eighth son, which made her a reliable helper in the royal family.

Now that the Ulanara clan has a queen mother and a royal concubine, they can fully achieve win-win cooperation with the rising Zhangjia clan.

Yixiu believed that she would succeed this time!
