The Virtuous Concubine

Although I don't want to marry Ulanara again, it doesn't mean that I can accept marrying Guwaljia!

Guaerjia was indeed impeccable in every aspect. She was a very good and virtuous wife. In her previous life, she had managed the prince's backyard and some palace affairs very well.

But what’s the difference between this and cuckolding the prince?

If it was for his own grand ambitions, Yinzhen would not be so unacceptable, but what he could not accept even more was that the Crown Princess only gave birth to a daughter and never had any more.

In the eyes of a typical Qing Dynasty person like him, whether a family has children, and how many children there are, is a woman's fate - it has nothing to do with men.

The prince has many children with other people, so it’s still the princess’s problem.

Compared to his offspring, embarrassment was not a big problem. But what he was most worried about and what he knew best was the intention of the Emperor.

He knew exactly what the emperor meant. On the surface, it was a test to see if he was willing. Even after the marriage was betrothed to him, he wanted to see if he would become frivolous because of the support of the Guarjia clan.

If you haven't yet, you might think that you are very scheming. In short, it looks like a favor, but in fact it is a warning and a trap.

Moreover, the Emperor's move was clearly to support himself and let himself fight with the Crown Prince, to see whether the Crown Prince could remain calm under such pressure and demonstrate sufficient ability and responsibility.

The Emperor used to view himself as a capable minister and the Crown Prince's right-hand man, but my mother was always afraid that she would be used as a whetstone for the Crown Prince.

Now that day has finally arrived.

The Fourth Prince gently stroked Xueying in silence. This dog, which the prince gave to his mother, was now extremely loyal to him. After so many years, it had grown old and was no longer as agile as before.

Xueying lay there, well-behaved and cute, without making any noise or making any noise.

Time passed quickly, and the selection process was carried out in an orderly manner under the auspices of Consort Wenxi. Malu watched a few shows with great interest at first, but soon became tortured by the long and tedious process.

The selection of concubines in the Qing Dynasty was so tiring!

These rows of girls were all dressed in colorful clothes, and the pearls and jade on their heads were also very bright, reflecting the light, which was too much for the eyes to bear.

Moreover, Malu couldn't get close to take a closer look. He had to sit high up and see the outline from a distance. It was so dazzling that he couldn't really make out anything.

Malu was full of doubts when he returned, and even began to doubt himself: "Is it because I am getting older that my eyesight is not as good as before? How do you know who is beautiful and who is outstanding in character?"

Bai Fu suppressed her laughter and explained, "The maids below will report to you based on your daily behavior and words. It is not possible to judge based on just a few moments. It is normal that Your Majesty cannot see clearly. Other ladies also find it difficult to see clearly. The Concubine Hui did not raise her head the whole time. She only stared at the book."

Malu finally felt relieved and went back to wait for Kangxi's notice. She also gradually realized that this selection was just a formality. Kangxi must have already made up his mind.

Sure enough, all the private contacts and efforts of the concubines were in vain, and the results were quite surprising.

The position of the Crown Princess, which everyone is most concerned about, is left vacant.

With so many beautiful girls, why didn't any of them catch Kangxi's eye?

Kangxi only appointed a few beautiful girls to be the prince's concubines and princesses. The original concubine Li was still an insignificant princess at this time, while Ulanara became the prince's concubine!

This made Fei Yanggu very worried - although the Ulanara clan was inferior to the Guwalja clan in terms of family background, it did not mean that his daughter was suitable to be the prince's concubine!

Not to mention that this daughter has always been brought up to be a dignified and generous clan lady, and her appearance is not particularly outstanding. How can she win the favor of the prince?

Fei Yanggu was not the only one who was troubled by Kangxi's random matchmaking.

The eldest prince's wife turned out to be Dong E, the daughter of Yongqin Gong Pengchun. Concubine Hui disliked such coquettish girls the most, but Dong E was the most charming one among the concubines.

It can be said that a flower is stuck in a golden cow dung. It is hard to tell whether it is good or bad for a big brother like this to be paired with such a delicate and delicate woman.

The dignified and gentle Irgen Jueluo was betrothed to the Third Prince. Although the Third Prince liked girls with good looks, Rong Fei was also very happy to have such a mistress of the house.

She was even happier because she had snatched away Concubine Hui's favorite daughter-in-law.

This daughter-in-law is a bit like Concubine Hui. When the time comes, won’t the rules she sets be similar to the ones Concubine Hui set for her?

After Rong Fei knew the result, although her son complained a few times about why he did not choose Dong E as his wife, it did not affect her mood at all.

The Fourth Prince was the biggest winner of this selection, marrying a woman named Guaerjia who had the most outstanding family background and character.

However, Concubine Dezhao of the Yonghe Palace and the Fourth Prince himself behaved extremely low-key. They did not show any special surprise on the surface. They only privately increased the gifts sent to Miss Guwalgiya.

When the body was carried to the Guaerjia family's mansion, the young eunuchs were all sweating from exhaustion.

Guaerjia was still very decent and dignified. She did not show any disappointment for not being able to become the Crown Princess, nor did she resist the marriage. Her face showed just the right amount of shyness and humility.

When Bai Fu saw her, she couldn't help but secretly admire her in her heart that this girl from the Guwalja clan was truly a lady from a noble family.

When the long list of gifts was announced, the people of the Guaerjia clan, who had originally felt a little disappointed and depressed, became excited - Imperial Concubine Dezhao actually valued her own girl so much!

Their originally polite words also became more cordial. Bai Fu came here to test their bottom line this time. Seeing that they were shocked by the queen's financial resources and strength, she put her mind at ease and said a few words.

"The queen values ​​your daughter very much, but at that time she was bound by the rules and could not show it too obviously. Now that we have become in-laws, she is naturally very happy. Although Prince Yong is young, he is the future pillar of our Yonghe Palace, and his marriage is also very important. The queen specifically told me that she believed that Miss Guaerjia would definitely become a good wife for the Fourth Prince. In the days to come, our two families must get closer."

After Bai Fu finished speaking, she looked at the people of the Guwaljia clan calmly.

Mrs. Guaerjia was very happy. She had been in contact with the royal family in the harem for so many years, and she could see the importance of this gift list.

This is not only about value, but also demonstrates the emperor's favor for Concubine De Zhao and the Fourth Prince's hidden strength.

There are many things that cannot be bought with money. They can only be provided to you privately by your subordinates or granted by the emperor.

Even if they are all offerings and rewards, they are divided into different levels.

This batch is the best of the best!

The Fourth Prince and Concubine De Zhao are not the most eye-catching people in the palace, but I didn’t expect them to be so powerful!
