Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Unlike the previous understanding reached with Prince Yong, and the joy of the Fucha family marrying Prince Yong's second daughter Ning Chuge, the whole family was not happy about Unaxi becoming the royal daughter-in-law.

Yinreng knew that Wanyu had delivered a letter to the Fucha family, and he reminded Wanyu.

"I'm afraid none of you have the final say on this matter."

Wanyu frowned and asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Given the status of my eldest and second uncles in Khan Aman, asking Unashi to withdraw his bid and lose the election shouldn't be a big deal."

Yinreng shook his head.

"You think too simply."

"It's not a big deal to let a concubine drop her name and fail the selection, but Khan Ama probably wouldn't agree to the Fucha family's legitimate daughter being eliminated."

Wanyu asked, "Stop beating around the bush and just say it directly."

Yinreng said: "It is precisely because the Fucha family is powerful and Khan Ama values ​​your uncles that he will not let the Fucha family's daughters be eliminated."

"Why do you think the royal family always intermarries with the aristocratic Manchu families?"

"Khan Amma even knew the dangers of incestuous marriage, but he didn't point it out?"

Wanyu sighed, "So, does that mean Unashi can only be the royal daughter-in-law?"

Yinreng nodded, "Indeed."

"If you don't believe it, let a few Fucha masters try it and you will know."

Facts have proved that it is just as Yinreng said.

Fucha Maqi submitted two petitions for exemption from the selection, but both were kept by Kangxi and not sent out.

Even when Ma Qi submitted her application for exemption from selection for the third time, Kangxi summoned her to the Qianqing Palace. His words showed that he admired the family tradition of the Fucha family. He thought that such a lady from a noble family would be the most suitable daughter-in-law of the royal family.

The Fucha family received a hint from Kangxi, and the whole family was heartbroken!

But he also knew that the imperial power could not be defied, so he could only pass the message to the Crown Princess in the palace.

Wanyu was also tired and completely understood the meaning of Yinreng's words that day.

The Fucha family had many descendants, with no shortage of sons, but few daughters.

In her parents' generation, there was only Wanyu's mother and a concubine's daughter. In Wanyu's generation, there is only one legitimate daughter, Wu Naxi, in the entire Fucha family, and she is also the only little princess.

As for Qianlong's Empress Xiaoxianchun, Fucha, Qianlong's biological mother was not even ten years old at the time. How could his son and daughter-in-law be born so early?!

Therefore, the desire to tie the Fucha family firmly to the royal family is not only a way to bestow favors on the Fucha family through royal marriage, but also a way to hold an alternative "hostage" in hand.

This princess from the Fucha family must marry into the royal family!

Wanyu had no way to deal with this.

But now the candidates for choosing wives in the palace include the successor wife of Prince Zhi, the 12th prince, the 13th prince and the 14th prince.

Although it is impossible to change the fact that she is marrying into the royal family, if it is possible, it is not impossible to choose a husband of her choice.

Wanyu let the Fucha family make their own decision, and then she and the prince could think of a solution in front of the emperor.

In fact, Wanyu privately thinks that Thirteenth Yinxiang is the most suitable one.

A man with good character and a chivalrous heart can be your husband without you having to worry about being stabbed in the back.

Moreover, Yinxiang has a good relationship with the Donggong family. If Wu Naxi marries Yinxiang, as long as Wu Naxi does not make any mistakes, Yinxiang will definitely treat her well.

In addition, Yinxiang had outstanding personal abilities, both literary and martial.

He was not only good at riding and shooting, but also proficient in poetry and calligraphy, and had outstanding literary talent.

He is low-key, introverted, steady and open-minded. Not only Yinreng likes him, but Wanyu also admires this younger brother very much.

And as far as she knew, in history, Yinxiang and his wife had a very good relationship, and most of their children were born to his wife.

But this is also what worries her.

Others have their own excellent true partners, and it is really hurtful for her to break up other people's marriages.

But people are selfish. Compared to Zhao Jia, whom she had never met before, she would definitely stand on the side of her cousin.

I just don’t know whether Yinxiang was just good to his wife, or if Zhaojia was just the type of wife he liked.

She was also worried that what if Yinxiang liked someone like Zhaojia and not her own cousin?

If that happens, not only will someone else's good marriage be broken up, but your cousin will also have a hard time living. That would be a real sin!

So let the Fucha family decide what choice Wanyu makes!

However, she still reminded the Fucha family to train one or two female doctors for Wu Naxi as soon as possible, and also to adjust her body early.

After receiving the news from the Crown Princess, the Fucha family also analyzed the pros and cons among the four princes.

Although Prince Zhi had the highest title, he was also the first to be excluded.

The Fucha family was originally a royalist family. Now, because of the relationship with the Crown Princess, as long as the Crown Prince is still alive, they will definitely lean towards the lineage of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace.

Even if he remains neutral, he will not lean towards the lineage of Prince Zhi.

The twelfth prince Yinzhen's identity was awkward, and they didn't want it to happen.

So the Fucha family hesitated between the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang and the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen.

The Thirteenth Beizi has a better relationship with the Crown Prince's lineage and already holds the title of Beizi.

However, the Thirteenth Prince's biological mother has passed away, and he has two younger sisters to take care of. His mother's family is only a bannerman, and he has no power to support him.

The Fourteenth Prince has a brother named Prince Yong who is from the same mother as him, and the Fucha family has already agreed to a marriage alliance with Prince Yong.

Although my mother's family was also just bondservants, the Uya clan was much better off than the Zhangjia clan, but now they are about the same.

However, the biological mother of the Fourteenth Prince was a concubine, and her aunt married Niuhulu Alinga.

Although Alinga no longer has the title, the emperor has not completely given up on using him.

Thinking about the plan that she and her second sister had made for the Fourteenth Prince's backyard, she knew that a big bomb was going to be dropped later. If her cousin entered the Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen's backyard, there would probably be a lot of trouble.

Especially since Concubine Uya was unreasonable and hostile to Yuqing Palace, Wanyu did not agree to let her cousin enter the Fourteenth Prince's backyard.

However, my uncle Maska knew that he was hostile to the Fucha family. In fact, the downfall of the Uya family was greatly helped by my uncle when he was the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department.

I think the Fucha family would not choose the fourteenth prince Yinzhen.

As Wanyu had guessed, the letter sent by the Fucha family to Wanyu expressed their preference for the Thirteenth Prince Yinxiang.

Wanyu finally put her mind at ease.

But just in case, she planned to arrange a small blind date for the two of them, so that they could at least meet each other.

I hope the two of them can develop some emotional foundation and get along better in the future.

So after a few days, Wanyu asked the eunuch of Yuqing Palace to go to Fucha's house to convey the Crown Princess's oral instructions, inviting Fucha's Unaxi Gege to pay her respects to Yuqing Palace.

Then he asked Yinreng to find an excuse to call Yinxiang to Yuqing Palace in a few days.

Yinreng naturally knew what the young lady was planning, and he had no objection to it.

.........

The Forbidden City in early October has been dyed with a unique charm by the strong autumn atmosphere.

The sky was high and blue, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds onto the red walls of the Forbidden City, giving them a warm golden glow.

Inside Yuqing Palace, the leaves were already stained with mottled golden and orange-red.

Especially the golden ginkgo leaves, like small fans, swaying in the wind and falling, covering the ground with a layer of golden carpet.

There are several pots of blooming chrysanthemums in the courtyard, colorful, some elegant and some gorgeous, emitting faint fragrance in the wind.

Together with the several golden ginkgo trees in the corner, it creates an extreme color impact, giving people a strong sense of vitality.

Yinxiang followed the second prince's footsteps to the backyard. As he was talking, he heard the voice of a strange woman.

"Fengsheng, look at these pots of flowers in front of you. What do they look like?"

Feng Sheng'e's eyes suddenly lit up and he shook his aunt's hand excitedly.

“Like a flag!”

"This basin looks like a yellow flag, this basin looks like a white flag, and this basin looks like a red flag!"

"Aunt, what kind of flower is this?"

"I hadn't even seen these strange pots of flowers this morning."

Unashi rubbed his chubby little head, his eyes shining with praise.

"Feng Sheng'e is awesome!"

"I heard from your mother that these flowers were just delivered by the people from the flower room."

"These are all chrysanthemums. This flag-like chrysanthemum is called the Shuaiqi Chrysanthemum, and it ranks first among the ten famous chrysanthemums."

"Isn't it beautiful?"

Amidst the clusters of flowers, Unashi was bending down, carefully explaining to Feng Sheng'e the name and characteristics of each pot of flowers.

At this moment, in Yinxiang's eyes, there was a beautiful picture unfolding before him.

(The handsome flag chrysanthemum is really beautiful. If you are curious, you can go and check it out. The orange one will amaze you at first sight!)
