Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Princess Duanmin is a generation younger than her husband Bandi, but both of them have the blood of the Khorchin Borjigit clan.

They have the same ancestor, Borjigit Buhe, the father of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Because of these multiple blood ties, Princess Duanmin could not be considered to be marrying out of the family, but rather marrying back into her mother's family.

The language, customs and living habits did not cause any discomfort to her.

In addition, she had pure blood and noble status, so she lived a very comfortable life in Korchin.

In the fourth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, Princess Duanmin's husband Bandi inherited the title of Prince Dalhan. Since then, Bandi has become the leader of the Left Wing Middle Banner of Khorchin.

Princess Duanmin became the mistress of the Left Middle Banner of Khorchin.

Therefore, Princess Duanmin has the final say in the Left Wing Middle Banner of Khorchin!

It can even be said that the entire Korchin grassland has to give this princess some face.

Princess Duanmin has pure blood and noble birth. She can be said to be a legitimate daughter among legitimate children, so she personally attaches great importance to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

Therefore, she did not like Kangxi, the illegitimate emperor.

In addition, the dirty things that happened in her mother's family, Prince Jian's Mansion, made her have a very bad attitude towards Kangxi.

Although Kangxi also disliked this imperial sister, he really couldn't do anything about her.

The two men were at the point where they disliked each other, and neither of them concealed their dislike. (Historical records show that they disliked each other.)

If Kangxi had been on a tour to the frontier area in the past, the noble Princess Duanmin would never have come over.

But this time Kangxi brought the Empress Dowager with him, so Princess Duanmin came early for the sake of her adoptive mother.

Moreover, this time Kangxi's strict investigation of the dowries of the princesses who were married off to foreign countries, as well as the situations of the princesses after their marriage, made her feel somewhat better about her illegitimate brother.

But it was just that she stopped giving him the cold shoulder in public.

After hearing Yinreng introduce Princess Duanmin to her, Wanyu felt a little emotional.

Some people were actually born in Rome, and even had almost no disasters in their lives. They can be said to be the favorites of God.

She asked with concern, "Princess Duanmin dislikes Khan Ama so much, will she cause trouble for us?"

Yinreng was Kangxi's favorite, Ma Baoer, so there was no guarantee that this aunt would not become jealous of him.

If this is true, then when the princess aunt comes, as a junior, she will definitely have to meet her.

There is no way to avoid this.

Especially with the Queen Mother.

Yinreng pinched her little face and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten what I just said?"

"Aunt Duanmin attaches great importance to the relationship between legitimate and illegitimate children. Although she doesn't like Khan Ama, she is still okay with me, the crown prince."

Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

"Otherwise, she'll deliberately embarrass me, and it'll be hard to confront her."

Yinreng chuckled, "Have you forgotten that your mother Guoluo and your mother Wuku are also from the Khorchin grassland?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Duanmin is just a little bit arrogant, but she's not a bad person."

In fact, Yinreng and Princess Duanmin have somewhat similar personalities.

Because of his noble status, he was pampered and did not need to plan too much. Whatever he wanted would be given to him by others.

That's why they look down on those born out of wedlock, especially those lowly people who resort to desperate and dirty means to climb up the ladder.

Being too arrogant and proud, and looking so bright and bright, makes others look like scheming people. How can people like such a person?

However, Princess Duanmin was lucky and had a smooth life, but Yinreng did not have such good luck. In the end, their endings were very different, which is really sad.

Wanyu nodded slightly and said, "Let's see how they deal with each other tomorrow."

The next day, Wanyu went to the Empress Dowager's tent to pay her respects, and found that the Empress Dowager was absent-minded and often looked towards the tent gate.

Even his most beloved great-grandson has begun to feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.

Soon, a nanny entered the tent with an excited face and reported the good news to the Empress Dowager.

"Your Majesty, Princess Duanmin is here."

"From afar, I saw the princess heading straight for the Queen Mother's tent as soon as she got off the carriage."

The Empress Dowager immediately stood up and said with joy, "Is it really my Gerletu (Guangming) who has come?"

"Yes, Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager didn't care about anything else at this moment and hurried towards the door.

"I am going to pick up my Gerletu in person."

The palace maid guarding the door was very tactful and immediately lifted the curtain. The empress dowager walked out of the tent anxiously and looked around.

When she saw a figure coming towards her, her eyes suddenly lit up and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose, but her eyes quickly filled with tears.

At this time, Princess Duanmin was wearing gorgeous Mongolian costumes, and the exquisite patterns embroidered on the brocade swayed gently with her steps.

She walked towards the tent with a slightly anxious pace, looking at the slightly old figure standing at the door of the tent, her eyes were full of tears and her lips were trembling slightly.

She quickly stepped forward and knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager.

"Empress Mother..." As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was choked with sobs.

She hugged the Queen Mother's legs tightly with her hands, looked up at the Queen Mother, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Empress Mother, my daughter is here, Gerletu is here."

"It is my daughter's fault for not being able to show filial piety to the Empress Dowager for so many years."

The Empress Dowager also held Princess Duanmin's shoulders tightly with her hands, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Gerletu, my Gerletu is here."

"Get up, get up quickly!"

She bent down and helped Princess Duanmin up, and gently wiped the tears from the princess's face with her fingers.

"Seeing that you are well, the Empress Dowager is relieved."

Princess Duanmin held the Empress Dowager's hand tightly and said, "My dear Empress Dowager, I am in Mongolia and miss you every day."

"The wind on this grassland is like my daughter's longing for you, blowing non-stop."

"My daughter hopes that one day, it will carry Gerletu's thoughts for the Empress Dowager, blowing from this vast grassland into the capital, and to the Empress Dowager's side."

Then she buried her head in the Empress Dowager's arms, took a deep breath, and felt the long-lost warmth and support.

The Queen Mother held her daughter tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to make up for all the time that had passed over the years.

When Geerletu was two or three years old, she was brought into the palace and raised by him personally. She stayed by his side for fifteen years before she got married.

She had been married for nearly thirty years, and he had seen her less than the number of times he could count on the palm of his hand. He missed her deeply.

Now that she finally saw her daughter, if she hadn't been concerned about her status as the empress dowager, she would have wanted to cry bitterly.

Su Malagu, who was standing by, wiped the corners of her eyes and stepped forward to speak considerately.

"Princess Queen, it's windy outside, let's go inside the tent and talk."

Princess Duanmin's eyes were red as she retreated from the Empress Dowager's arms embarrassedly.

She looked at Su Malagu and addressed him respectfully, "Aunt Su Ma, have you been doing well these past few years?"

Su Malagu smiled kindly and said, "Thank you, Princess, for your concern. I am doing very well. Princess and the Queen Mother, please go in."

Wanyu held Fengsheng'e's little hand and followed the others into the tent.

The brief reminiscing and emotional release just now has gradually calmed down the few people.

After entering, everyone greeted each other.

Wanyu also brought Fengsheng'e to pay her respects to this aunt.

Princess Duanmin smiled faintly, "This is Baocheng's daughter-in-law and legitimate son?"

"I heard that the emperor named this child Hongxi?"

Wanyu smiled and said yes.

Princess Duanmin was not enthusiastic towards Wanyu, but she did not deliberately make things difficult for her.

But her attitude towards Feng Sheng'e was very good.

She waved to Feng Sheng with a slight smile.

"Hongxi, come to my aunt."

Feng Sheng turned his head to look at his mother, and Wanyu nodded to him.

The little fellow then took small steps and walked up to the "aunt" without any fear.
