Zhen Huan is still in love, and her sister's goal is to become the queen mother

Huimin's shop was crowded with people, but Cao Qinmo's shop was quiet.

Cao Qinmo had tried to probe before, but Huimin was too glorious today, so Cao Qinmo hid her thoughts.

Otherwise everyone would know her purpose, and this is not Cao Qinmo's style.

Unexpectedly, what happened in the past few days forced Cao Qinmo to come.

Before, the emperor looked unhappy and the concubines were talking about it, fearing that something big was going to happen in the harem again.

Everyone tried every possible way to find out, but no one has yet found the reason.

The truth came to me on its own.

The Dzungars sent people to the court to propose marriage, asking for a Qing princess to be the queen consort for their Yingge Khan in order to reassure the people living on the border.

Princesses of the Qing Dynasty have always had the responsibility to marry foreign princes.

Girls from the royal family were often chosen and given the title of Heshuo Princess to marry off.

But this time, Junggar's requirements were very high, and they wanted to marry a legitimate princess.

Now that the Queen has closed her harem, Concubine Jing has temporarily become the person in charge.

For this matter, all the concubines gathered in Xianfu Palace to discuss the matter.

The emperor looked gloomy and melancholy.

As soon as the news was announced, everyone in the harem had different expressions.

Especially Cao Qinmo, the sorrow almost overflowed from her eyes, her face was full of worry, and there was a hint of anger.

This atmosphere is also interesting.

Huimin had been keeping an eye on Cao Qinmo since the emperor announced the news. When she saw her like this, she had an idea in her mind.

Princess Wen Yi is her life.

But when the emperor said this, none of the concubines present spoke a word.

On the one hand, the queen was not there, so no one could speak first with justification. On the other hand, although this matter was related to the harem, many people did not have princesses.

It's none of my business, so I just ignore it. There was silence for a while.

Everyone guessed that it would be Cao Qinmo, the mother of Princess Wen Yi, who would speak first.

But it was Shen Meizhuang who broke the deadlock first, which was both unexpected and reasonable. She was a strong-willed person and could not stand Junggar's demands, so it was normal for her to be the first to express some slight disapproval.

"Zungar originally belonged to the Qing Dynasty, but it was just a frontier area. Marrying a princess from the royal family was already giving them face. Now they are asking for a princess from their own family, which is a bit too much..."

Everyone knew what Shen Meizhuang meant. It was too much of a face-giving to Junggar. But the emperor shook his head and said:

"With the precedent of Princess Lanqi, it is difficult for me to refuse."

For a moment, the concubines were speechless.

Generally, the bridegroom would be a member of the royal family, but the one Emperor Kangxi married was his own biological daughter.

The example of the late emperor is right there, it would be inappropriate not to marry the princess.

But if you want to get married, who should you marry?

This is a problem.

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Cao Qinmo.

That must be Princess Wen Yi.

In addition, Huimin also glanced at Xin Changzai.

You know, the eldest princess is Yun Fei, the Concubine Xin.

Both princesses are possible.

Sure enough, although Xin Changzai seemed calm, she had clenched her sleeves tightly.

Shen Meizhuang is right when she says that she must be the legitimate princess and she can have whatever she wants.

Since the Qing Dynasty was restrained by the Dzungar Khanate militarily, didn't it mean that it was forced to marry the princess?

Finally, Cao Qinmo couldn't help it and spoke hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, although Wen Yi is your biological daughter, she is still young. How can she be married to you?"

Cao Qinmo's eyes were red, her face was anxious, and she was heartbroken.

But after all, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The emperor's reply made Cao Qinmo breathe a sigh of relief.

"If Wen Yi is old enough, I won't have to worry about this."

Cao Qinmo's expression instantly looked better. No matter what, this meant that Wen Yi didn't need to marry a foreign prince anymore.

But if Princess Wen Yi doesn’t go, who will go?

It is impossible not to marry.

The Emperor has only been on the throne for a short time and his foundation is weak. The northwest has just been pacified and the southwest is still in chaos.

Moreover, the military power of the Dzungar Khanate should not be underestimated. Once a war breaks out, the manpower and military resources consumed will not be a small amount.

Marrying the princess is the best solution for the emperor.

But Wen Yi is still young...

No wonder the emperor is anxious.

But at this time, all the concubines were worried, so the Queen Mother sent Zhuxi to deliver the news.

Although she is a legitimate princess, it does not mean that she must be the emperor's biological daughter. The daughter of the late emperor is also a legitimate princess.

Princess Chaogui has not yet been married off. Although she is the emperor's youngest sister, she is not born from the same mother as the emperor. How much affection can there be between them?

Moreover, Princess Chaogui's mother is just a noblewoman, and her future marriage will only be arranged to a middle-class family...

Speaking of being just a nobleman, Huimin noticed that Cao Qinmo's face twitched, but she quickly covered it up.

It can only refer to a middle-class family, and is just a tool for marriage. In the future...

Cao Qinmo pinched her palms tightly, her heart almost bleeding.

Since the Empress Dowager had spoken on the matter, the Emperor had a way out, and in the end it became a happy affair for everyone.

For a moment, sacrificing Princess Chaogui seemed to have solved all the problems.

The emperor made up his mind and immediately ordered Princess Chaogui to get married ten days later.

Huimin couldn't help but feel disappointed. The royal family...

Huimin, who had no daughter, was in such a miserable situation. Cao Qinmo, the princess's mother who was a noble lady like Princess Chaogui's mother, Noble Lady Guo, was even more miserable.

There is no need to worry that she won't come. The stimulation Cao Qinmo has suffered should make her make up her mind.

Huimin returned to Chuxiu Palace after the meeting. Cao Qinmo had not come yet, but Xin Changzai arrived first.

Cao Qinmo has Wen Yi, and Xin Changzai has Princess Shuhe.

Although I have never been raised by my mother, being like a transparent person has its advantages.

During this marriage, the emperor did not mention his daughter at all.

Shuhe has never been as favored as Wen Yi, and the emperor pays less attention to her.

It can be seen that Concubine Xin’s way of survival is really effective. When something happened, the emperor didn’t even think of her.

Instead, the favored Wen Yi was mentioned many times.

But which mother doesn't want to fight for a good future for her children?

However, the mention of a middle-class family still stimulated her.

Lady Guo was still a lady of honor, while Lady Xin was just a lady of honor. She had a low rank, no power, and was even more miserable.

So she came to Huimin for help. After all, Huimin was the mistress of Chuxiu Palace, and a mistress that Xin Chang felt was reliable.

The mistress did not want to use her daughter to compete for favor, so she gave her more help.

He took good care of his daughter, and Xin Chang couldn't help but become interested in him.

She was trying to protect herself in the harem, but she only had one daughter, and after her miscarriage, Concubine Xin never got pregnant again.

How can I not feel sorry for my only daughter?

Moreover, there are many benefits to boarding this big ship now, and the temptation of interests is too great.

Xin Changzai was also moved.

"Sister, how are you these days? The ten months of pregnancy are the hardest."

She started by using the child to narrow the distance and start the topic. When Huimin saw that Concubine Xin came in a hurry after the emperor's meeting, she already knew her purpose.
