Secrets of Yuqing Palace

She looked at Xia He behind Wanyu.

"Sister Xia He, do you have fruit milk smoothies and iced mint osmanthus cakes?"

"Give me some quickly. I'm tired and hot now."

"I've been tormented by this kid for the past two years. I haven't been to my sister's place for a long time. I've missed Sister Xia He's cooking skills for a long time."

Xia He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

"It's hot today, and the master knows that the Thirteenth Lady likes the smoothies and cakes from our Yuqing Palace the most."

"Knowing that the wife would be coming today, I told the servants to prepare it early."

Unashi said to Wanyu in a sweet and grateful manner, "I knew that my cousin loves me the most."

Wanyu watched her cousin eating smoothies and pastries, with a look of enjoyment and satisfaction on her face.

And his little nephew Hongchang in his arms was so greedy that he was drooling. He kept reaching out to his mother across the table. He felt it was too much to bear to watch.

"Uh....uh....eat!"

"Uh! Eat!"

Unashi looked up at his good son and said with a smile, "Hongchang can't eat it."

"When you grow up, mother will give you delicious food."

"Hongchang is still young and his teeth haven't grown much yet, so he can't chew these foods."

"And they are all cold. When you grow up, mother will give them to you. Be good and be obedient~"

Hongchang was just one year old and had no idea what his mother was saying, but he also understood that his mother didn't mean to give it to him.

So he twisted even harder in Wanyu's arms.

"eat!"

"eat!"

"Chang...Chang...Eat!"

Unashi smiled and shook his head, with a mischievous look on his face as he teased his one-year-old son who could barely speak clearly.

"No, no, no."

"Hongchang can't eat it, Hongchang can't eat it."

"I can't eat it, hehe~"

Wanyu was helpless about her cousin's lively personality.

"How can you tease your own son?!"

"If Hongchang cries later, you can comfort him yourself!"

Unashi shrank his neck, then said seriously: "He is still so young, he really can't eat."

Wanyu turned around helplessly and looked at Xia He behind her.

"Go prepare a cup of warm milk for Hongchang, and a bowl of egg custard that Hongchang can eat."

Xia He saluted, knelt down and said with a smile: "Yes."

Half an hour later.

Seeing the full bellies of the two guests, one big and one small, who came to Yuqing Palace today, Wanyu asked unhappily, "Did you and Yinxiang have something going on today?"

Unashi slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot about the main thing."

"The Thirteenth Master does have something he would like to ask of his cousin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wanyu glanced at her and said unhappily, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Wu Naxi then said seriously, "Didn't Khan Ama's eighth sister marry Cangjin, the Duke of Duling of the Ongniud tribe, a few days ago?"

"Now that Tenth Sister is getting older, she'll be ready for marriage in two years."

"Our master only has two sisters from the same mother. Sister Wen Ke has married and moved to Mongolia. Thirteenth Master is helpless."

"But he is reluctant to see his two younger sisters marry into Mongolia, so he wants to ask my cousin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help to allow his tenth younger sister to stay in the capital."

"Even if she marries someone from an ordinary family, it's fine. With our grandfather protecting her, Tenth Sister's life will never be difficult."

Wanyu did not speak directly, but first handed Hongchang, who was full and nodding his head in her arms, to Nanny Sun.

"Take Hongchang to the east side room to sleep, and have his wet nurse watch over him by his bedside."

"When he wakes up, take him to Qiluanyuan to play with the Second Princess."

Nanny Sun took Prince Hongchang and knelt down, saying, "Yes."

After her arms were empty, Wanyu looked at her cousin opposite her.

"You should understand that marriage between Manchus and Mongols is a national policy. When a princess marries, it is always the Khan who decides who will marry her."

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs, and I have no say in this matter."

"If you want to accomplish this, you have to ask the Crown Prince for his opinion."

Unashi nodded.

"My father and I are also aware of this matter."

"I was discussing this matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the front yard."

"But Grandpa said that my cousin is smart and can always think of new and novel perspectives that others can't think of."

"So I wanted to ask my cousin if there is any way I can get started so that I can persuade Khan Ama."

Wanyu paused, frowning in thought.

"Method?"

She quickly sorted out the information about the princess who was now married in her mind.

The eldest princess: Princess Chunxi married Bandi Borjigit, the first-rank taiji of the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia.

The second princess: Princess Rongxian married the Zasakdoruo Prince of the Balin tribe of southern Mongolia, Borjigit Urgun.

The third princess: Princess Duanjing married the Zasakduleng Prince of the Kharchin tribe of Mongolia, Galzang of the Ulianghan clan.

The fourth princess: Princess Kejing married the Jasakdoro prince of the Tushetu Khanate of the Khalkha in the northern desert, the Borjigit Dundubdorji. (Outer Mongolia)

The fifth princess: Princess Wenxian married Shun Anyan, the grandson of Tong Guowei and the emperor's uncle.

Sixth Princess: Princess Chunxun married Borjigit Tsereng of the Khalkha tribe in the northern desert (Outer Mongolia)

The Seventh Princess: The twelfth daughter of the emperor, born to Concubine Uya in the 25th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Unfortunately, she died at the age of twelve.

The Eighth Princess: Princess Wen Ke had just been betrothed to Borjigit Cangjin, Prince of Duleng, of the Ongniud tribe of Mongolia.

The Ninth Princess: Born in December of the 28th year of the Kangxi reign, she is now 18 years old.

The Tenth Princess: Born in the first month of the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, she is now 16 years old.

Apart from the ten princesses mentioned above, the only one still alive is the eleventh princess born to the king's concubine, who is only 11 years old this year.

Thinking about the backgrounds of the princes-in-law that the princesses had married before, Wanyu suddenly had an idea, and then frowned.

She looked at her cousin opposite her, her face full of solemnity.

"I have an idea."

Unashi's eyes lit up and he immediately began to flatter him.

"Master Thirteen is right. My cousin is very smart and can always think of things that we can't think of!"

"Cousin, tell me, what do you think?"

Wanyu analyzed: "Among the seven princesses that Khan Ama married off, two of them were married to Mongolia in the northern desert (Outer Mongolia)."

"The four princesses were married in Mongolia south of the desert (Inner Mongolia)."

"Moreover, of the six princesses who married into Mongolia, only Princess Chunxi, the adopted daughter of the Khorchin tribe, married a taiji."

"Princess Shang from other tribes is not only the Khan's biological daughter, but also married to the Duke of Duleng."

"Moreover, among the seven princesses, one married into her mother's clan, the Tongjia clan of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner."

Unashi thought about it, then nodded.

Wanyu continued, "There are three princesses who have not yet married, but only the ninth and tenth princesses are of the right age to marry."

"If Yinxiang moves faster, maybe things can turn around, but we have to be quick!"

"If you were a step later, the Tenth Princess would have been married to the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia!"

Unashi was so confused that his mind almost turned into a mess.

"What's the turning point my cousin is talking about?"

"Why hurry?"

Wanyu looked at her stupid little head and wanted to sigh.

"Didn't I just say that among the seven princesses who got married, two were from the Mongolian tribe of the northern desert, four were from the Mongolian tribe of the southern desert, and one married into the Tongjia tribe of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner?"

"And Princess Chunxi of the Khorchin tribe of Mongolia was only the Khan's adopted daughter, and she only married the Taiji?!"

Unashi looked puzzled.

"I know."

"What...what happened?"
