The prince only allowed me to have a baby, so the pressure is a bit high!

Chapter 12 Who is Xu Feng?

The prince's eyes fell on Buerhe. The emperor did not notice it, but Xiaozhuang observed it. It seems that the prince had a good impression of the princess from the Ulanara family!

If I am not chosen as the Crown Princess this time, I would suggest to the Emperor that I become the Crown Prince's concubine. Given the Crown Prince's current condition, if I give him someone he likes, I think his illness will be cured.

At that time, if Xuanye personally issues an edict to make the little girl from the Ulanara family the first concubine, it will not be considered an insult to the Ulanara family.

When Kangxi signaled Burhe to step back and let Tonggia Gege step forward, perhaps because Tonggia Gege was too nervous or excited, she strode forward and knocked Burhe to the side, causing him to lose his balance and fall to the side. In a flash, Burhe, who was supposed to rush into Kangxi's arms, quickly twisted his body and fell to the side, and was caught by Yinreng, who had been paying attention to Burhe.

Tong Jia Gege also fell directly between Kangxi's legs because of the momentum, with her little face facing Kangxi's thing.

Things developed very quickly. In a moment, Burhe was caught by the prince, and Tonggiya Gege knelt between Kangxi's legs.

Kangxi was immediately startled and stood up quickly. Yinreng also quickly let go of the hand that was supporting Buerhe, but the scene just now had been seen by everyone, and even if the few people reacted quickly, they could still see it clearly.

Behind Tongjia Gege, Nianhulu Gege and Dong'e Gege's eyes widened in shock. After seeing Kangxi's actions, they quickly lowered their heads in unison. Even the Empress Dowager was stunned by this scene. She had never seen such a shameless lady. Even Mongolian girls were open-minded, but they didn't throw themselves at a man's crotch.

And today everyone knew that this was about the selection of the Crown Princess, so what was going on when this happened? The upbringing of the Tong family was really something that made people speechless.

Kangxi also reacted at this time, feeling ashamed and angry. Seeing Tong Jia Gege still kneeling on the ground, he sternly said, "What are you still kneeling there for? Get down quickly."

At Su Malagu's signal, the two old maids in the Cining Palace hurried forward and dragged and carried Tonggia Gege away.

The remaining three princesses were in a dilemma as to whether to stand or not. Just as they were hesitating and trembling with fear, Xiaozhuang ordered: "Su Ma, take the other princesses down to rest for a while!"

When Buerhe and the other two heard Xiaozhuang's order, they hurriedly followed Sumalagu downstairs. While walking, the three of them looked at each other and saw fear and gloating in each other's eyes.

It was really that Tonggiya Gege's personality was too unpleasant. Nianhulu Gege and Dong'e Gege were more familiar with Tonggiya Gege. Before, Tonggiya Gege often boasted about her life experience in front of them, saying that she was the emperor's cousin and how her cousin was favored by the emperor, etc.

She always looks superior at gatherings of her peers, but now that she has made such a big fool of herself, let's see how she can still be so proud.

Buerhe was happy because she wasn't familiar with this Tongjia Gege before, and they had only just met for the first time. Yet, she had already soiled her cheongsam during lunch break, and had just wanted to throw herself into the emperor's arms. Don't say she didn't mean it. Her five senses were sharp, and if she hadn't been on guard just then, she might have been the one to be embarrassed.

This was a minor embarrassment. If this incident got out, all the girls in the Ulanara family would have to have their hair cut off and become nuns, and none of them would be able to get married. It might also affect the marriages of several of her brothers, and then the whole family would be embarrassed.

After staring at each other, they each returned to their rooms, waiting for the Empress Dowager's order to leave the palace. Nanny Li wanted to ask something, but was stopped by Buerhe. In the palace, walls have ears, and she didn't want to be known as a gossipmonger or a rumormonger.

I think the royal family will keep silent about what happened today. Princess Tong Jia is not an ordinary aristocratic princess, but the emperor's cousin from his mother's family. If not for anything else, then just for the emperor's face, this matter will be kept secret and not a single word will be leaked.

At this time, in the main hall, after Zia Suma returned, the Grand Empress Dowager spoke out: "Then Tong Jia can find an excuse to stay in the palace as a concubine. I don't think she is a good candidate for Xu Feng."

At this time, only Xiaozhuang, the Empress Dowager, Kangxi, the Crown Prince, Su Ma and Master Pu Du were left in the main hall. They were all insiders, so Xiaozhuang did not beat around the bush.

It was only when the Empress Dowager spoke that Qiqige finally reacted, but since the Empress Dowager had already spoken, she swallowed her exclamation.

Tong Jia was really fierce. She had never seen such a woman in her life. Fortunately, she was a noble lady of the Qing Dynasty. In her opinion, even the female slaves on the grassland had more sense of shame than her.

However, that was the emperor's mother's home after all. Some things could be said and some needed to be kept in the heart. She had also lived in the Forbidden City for most of her life, so of course she knew the twists and turns involved. She just sat there obediently and didn't dare to say a word.

Kangxi agreed with a sullen face. This matter was indeed embarrassing for him. The Empress Dowager had lightly revealed it for his own good, and he couldn't help but appreciate it. It was just that the Tong family had been responsible for this matter, which was truly unpleasant. She was originally meant to be the Crown Prince, but now she belonged to him. Fortunately, the matter hadn't been made public before, so outside the palace, there was only speculation, no conclusion. However, that Tong Jia family was absolutely forbidden from being favored. Regardless of whether she was a legitimate daughter or not, at this juncture, it was best not to let the outside world think of her.

Poor Tong Jia Gege, she was determined to become the crown princess, but because of jealousy, she took the wrong path and eventually became one of the common people in Kangxi's harem, and she would never be favored in her life. Even if her family knew about this, they would not help her. In the future, she would not be tortured and bullied by other concubines because of her surname. But if she wanted to have a good life, it would be impossible. She would be an unknown concubine for the rest of her life.

At that time, Kangxi would definitely compensate Tongjia for the loss of a legitimate child, but it was hard to say who would receive the compensation in the end. After all, before Tongjia Princess entered the palace, there was already a Tongjia concubine in the palace.

After talking about the treatment of Tong Jia Gege, the next step is to the focus of today. In fact, the Empress Dowager has already sensed something, or guessed something from the prince's performance.

Master Pu Du didn't keep them waiting for long, and this time he gave the answer directly: "I believe you all have the answer in your hearts, so I won't keep you in suspense. I just observed carefully, and that Xu Feng is the little princess in Mongolian clothes. I just noticed that her phoenix energy has increased a lot compared to last time. It seems that she and the prince are a match made in heaven! Congratulations to this female donor, it is fate that you meet Xu Feng at this time. The future of the Qing Dynasty will surely be peaceful and prosperous."

The prince knew that his fourth brother's wife in his previous life became the queen, but he didn't expect that things would develop like this in this life. The fourth brother has been abandoned by the emperor, and it is impossible for her to marry the fourth brother. She was born with a phoenix destiny, and it seems that she is destined to become the queen.

However, this Second Princess of the Ulanara family looked different from the one he knew in his previous life, and her personality was also quite different. However, her deceased eldest sister, whom he had only seen from afar through a telescope, was exactly the same as the Fourth Lady of his previous life.

He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Anyway, the emperor had said it all at the beginning. The most important thing for him now was to get married as soon as possible so that his ancestor could live a few more years. He could talk about other things later!

Kangxi had no objection to this. He didn't know the personalities of these princesses, but if he had to choose, he would definitely choose between the Nianhulu family and the Ulanara family. However, in terms of family background and father, he would definitely prefer the Ulanara family. After all, Ulanara Feiyanggu was the confidant of several generations of their royal family, and was raised and taught by the emperor's grandfather.

The only drawback is that this Ulanara Gege is too young, only twelve years old. When will the prince be able to consummate his marriage and give birth to a legitimate grandson?

The Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager were also satisfied with the selections. They were a little less than the Emperor had expected. These girls were clearly the most outstanding of the Ulanara princesses, and even though they were young, they were still very beautiful. Besides, it was still unknown when Yinreng's illness would be cured. If he and this Ulanara princess could spend more time together and their relationship was harmonious, perhaps this matter would be resolved smoothly.

As women, they are more emotional and more sensitive to the prince's psychological problems than Kangxi, a man. Besides, they all saw today how the prince quickly stepped forward to help Ulanara Gege when she was about to fall. Even Empress Dowager Qiqige would not believe that the prince had no thoughts in his mind.

This isn't to disparage the Empress Dowager's intelligence; it's just that, back on the grasslands, she had the protection of Mongol princes, and in the capital, Empress Xiaozhuang. She never learned a single word of Manchu, spending her days devouring food, drink, and entertainment. She never had to use her brain. Plus, Kangxi was a filial son. As long as she stayed focused and stayed out of politics, he'd protect her for the rest of her life. So, isn't Qiqige just a bit too quick-witted?

After deciding on the candidate, Kangxi discussed with the Empress Dowager what gifts to prepare for the other princesses before they left the palace, and then began to discuss the wedding date.

Yesterday, the Imperial Astronomical Observatory sent the Emperor the nearest auspicious dates he wanted: September, October, and February of the following year. As for the Crown Prince's wedding, the sooner the better. This was not only because the Empress Dowager's health was worried, but also because Master Pu Du was unlikely to stay in the capital for long.

The Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi agreed on October. It wasn't that they didn't want to choose September, but it was already the end of August. It was already unfair to marry the Crown Princess on such a tight deadline, and now it was too late to force the wedding. The family wouldn't even have time to prepare the dowry, which would be unacceptable. Besides, even embroidering the wedding gowns for the Crown Prince and Crown Princess would take time! There were also the etiquette and regulations for the Crown Prince's wedding that Emperor Kangxi needed to finalize. Even the Yuqing Palace needed to be renovated quickly. All of this would take time and wouldn't be completed in a few days.

After the discussion, Kangxi took the prince back to the Qianqing Palace, and Master Pu Du was also ready to say goodbye and go to Handuo Temple, but before leaving, he gave Kangxi a piece of advice, which he said behind the prince's back. The general meaning was that Xu Feng would bring good luck to her husband. After she married the prince, the prince's illness would be cured at the right time. However, Xu Feng's fate was complementary to that of the prince. If the prince's harem was unstable, causing Xu Feng to be hurt in the future, then the prince's dragon energy would also be lost.

Kangxi heard this but did not take it seriously. In his opinion, the entire Qing Dynasty belonged to the Aisin Gioro family. The so-called Xu Feng becoming the Crown Princess was a grace from the royal family. How could she be injured because of involvement in the inner house and finally involve the Crown Prince?

Does this mean that the Crown Prince will have to stay with the Crown Princess and not have to have other women? This is so far-fetched! He doesn't believe it!

That afternoon, Buerhe and the other two princesses received the rewards from the Grand Empress Dowager and left the palace. The three of them all knew why Tongjia Princess did not leave the palace with them, but since they were in the deep palace and it was not convenient to talk about it, they did not discuss it. They just said goodbye politely at the palace gate with their respective maids and made plans to meet again next time. At this time, three carriages were already waiting at the palace gate. Jueluo, who was waiting for the carriage of the Ulanara family, saw that her daughter was not wearing the Manchu dress she had worn that morning, and her heart skipped a beat. However, she quickly put her heart at ease when she saw that her daughter's face was not panicked or frightened.

Although my daughter was raised by my mother-in-law, after spending these few months with her, I have come to understand that she is a steady person who can withstand hardships. Especially since she brought Nanny Li from the Cining Palace with her when she entered the palace this time, I think it is not a big deal.

Jueluo looked at Nanny Li's face, and sure enough, Nanny Li's expression was quite calm, nothing unusual, so it seemed that everything was really fine.
