Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu also couldn't help but sigh that children in ancient times were too precocious!

He was only a little over ten years old, but he knew how to find a wife for himself, and even knew how to increase the cost for himself.

Wanyu asked, "After Fu Tai'an's statement, Prince Yong should be quite satisfied, right?"

Old Madam Fucha smiled and nodded.

"Yes, so Prince Yong and Consort Consort both agreed."

"That's what I told you."

The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and other three people from the Guwaljia family were also very satisfied when they heard the news.

Ning Chuge has the blood of the Guwalja clan and is the granddaughter of the Guwalja clan.

Of course they were even happier when they found a good husband for her.

Wanyu smiled and said, "That's fine."

"Since the Fucha family and the Prince Yong's Mansion have reached a tacit understanding on this matter, let the two children interact more often in the future and cultivate their relationship from a young age."

"With the emotional foundation of childhood sweethearts, their future will be easier."

Dai Jia replied nervously, "Yes."

When Mrs. Fucha saw her second daughter-in-law like this, she sighed slightly in her heart.

.........

Both the Niuhuru clan and Prince Xian's palace reached a tacit understanding with the Guwalgiya clan.

Niuhulu Yinde submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting that his eldest son Celeng marry Shi Wanyue, the fifth princess of Guwalja.

Prince Xianyi (Fu Shou)'s concubine, Fu Cha, also went to the palace to ask for help from her aunt, the Empress Dowager.

He complained to the Empress Dowager that his son had doted on his concubines, which led to the dwindling of offspring in the harem and the inability of his wife to raise children, so now the lineage of Prince Xian was dwindling.

Prince Xianyi (Fushou) was the son of the second wife of Prince Su Haoge, a member of the Khorchin Borjigit clan.

This concubine was a cousin of the Empress Dowager, so Prince Xianyi (Fu Shou) was the Empress Dowager's nephew.

Fu Shou's wife was no longer with us, and now the one in charge of Prince Xian's Mansion was Fu Cha's grandson, so it was not presumptuous for her to go to the palace to see the empress dowager and call her aunt.

Fucha complained to her aunt, the Empress Dowager, that the lineage of Prince Xianyi (Fushou) was dwindling, and as her aunt, the Empress Dowager had to show some pity.

The Empress Dowager felt helpless as she watched her niece-in-law crying uncontrollably.

She sighed and said, "Your grandson is about to get married, why are you crying?"

"Okay, tell me, how do you want me to pity you?"

Fucha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Empress Dowager, I have seen that since the Crown Princess moved into the Eastern Palace, she has managed the harem in an orderly manner and handled affairs in an orderly manner. Not only has she given birth to several great-grandchildren for you, but she is also a virtuous and beautiful person. I am truly envious of her."

"I am not so lucky to have a good daughter-in-law like the Crown Princess, but I heard that this year the Guarjia clan has two very good concubines waiting to be selected."

Fucha stood up, walked to the Empress Dowager and bowed respectfully, with a look of humility and expectation on her face.

"Please, Aunt Queen Dowager, have some mercy on me and love this young man, Yan Huang."

The Empress Dowager first reluctantly woke the person up, then turned to look at Aunt Ulan behind her with some confusion.

Aunt Ulan thought about it, then nodded with a smile.

"Empress Dowager, it seems that the eldest branch of the Guarjia clan still has two daughters, who should be just the right age for this year's election."

The Empress Dowager nodded, and then saw Fucha looking at her eagerly.

The Empress Dowager sighed and said, "I'll see those two kids when the election comes."

Fucha said gratefully, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your mercy."

With the Queen Mother's words, Fucha felt relieved.

Fucha was satisfied with Shi Wanqiong, the fourth princess of the Guwalgiya clan.

Although he was born out of wedlock, he was registered under the name of his legitimate mother since he was young and was raised by her, which was no different from a real legitimate child.

Moreover, the Guaerjia family has divided the property but not the family, and they still live together. The old lady Guaerjia is the aunt of the prince (Fu Shou). When the prince was still alive, the two families often visited each other, and they have not lost contact until now.

After all, they are family relatives, with her aunt as guarantor and the Fucha family as matchmakers, she believes that the Fourth Princess is a good person.

Kangxi, who was in the Qianqing Palace, heard that Prince Xianmi's concubine, Fucha, had gone to the Ningshou Palace to ask the Empress Dowager to grant her grandson, the current Prince Xian Yanhuang, a marriage, but he did not think much of it.

He was only thinking about this election, where there were many high-ranking beauties, and he planned to choose a good wife for Yinyou and Baotai.

And the Eighth Prince Yinsi...

Guo Luoluo was jealous, and Yinsi and Juechan were also not very resourceful, which resulted in Yinsi having no children at all!

He also received news from his subordinates that in the last election, the princess that the Empress Dowager specially selected for Yinsi was severely tortured by Guo Luoluo.

Kangxi became even more dissatisfied with Guo Luoluo.

Suppressing the various thoughts in his mind, Kangxi continued to deal with the memorials on the imperial desk.

But he had already made up his mind that in this election, he would pick a few more beauties for Yinsi, and he would also have to give Guo Luoluo a good lesson!

March soon arrived, and a large number of selected concubines entered the Forbidden City.

Now only Princess Dunke and Princess Eleven are still unmarried and live in Qianxi Wusuo.

Therefore, the concubines were arranged into three of the five vacant rooms in Qianxi.

There are many ladies of noble status on the list of selected ladies for this re-selection.

In addition to the two princesses of the Guwalgiya clan, there were also two princesses of the Tonggiya clan and a princess of the Majia clan.

The two princesses of the Tonggiya clan were from the branch of Empress Xiaoyi.

One was the legitimate daughter of Tong Guogang's eldest son, Orondei, and the other was the legitimate daughter of Tong Guowei's second son (born out of wedlock).

The princess from the Ma family was related to Rong Fei in the palace.

Ma Jia Gege is the daughter of the third-class duke Ma Jia Marsai.

Majia Marsai's father was Nomin, who was once a minister highly valued by Emperor Kangxi. He served as the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Rites, the Commander-in-Chief of the Plain Yellow Banner Mongolian Banner, the Minister of the Imperial Guard, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, and the General of Fuyuan.

Majia Gege's great-grandfather, Nuomin's father, was Majia Tuhai.

Majia Tuhai rose through the ranks to become the Prince's Tutor, Grand Secretary of the Zhonghe Palace and concurrently the Minister of Personnel, Commander-in-Chief of the Plain Yellow Banner, and was granted the title of a third-class duke.

Majia Tuhai is Rongfei's cousin.

Rong Fei's great-grandfather Hu Shi was Tu Hai's great-grandfather. Tu Hai was Hu Shi's fifth-generation grandson, and Rong Fei was Hu Shi's fourth-generation granddaughter.

Therefore, there is a clear family relationship between Tu Hai and Rong Fei.

Among this group of concubines, there is a rather special one.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, daughter of Gu Yan, Irgen Jueluo.

This concubine is special because her Mafa is the eighth generation of Gu.

Gu is just a Han surname. The eight generations of the Gu family are legitimate Manchu nobles, and they are also members of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner.

His father, Gu Nachan, served in the imperial court and served during the reigns of Huang Taiji and Shunzhi.

His family's original surname was Irgen Jueluo. Starting from the eighth generation, this branch of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner changed its surname to Gu. The name Gu Bada is the best annotation of the Manchu surname abbreviated to a Chinese surname.

The surnames of his father Gu Nachan and his brother Gu Su were both adopted later.

Before retiring, Gu Badai had held several important official positions.

Including Langzhong of the Ministry of Personnel, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, etc., and he was eventually promoted to Minister of Rites.

He holds an important position in the court and is one of the emperor's important ministers.

However, what makes him special is not these, but that he once worked in the Shangshufang and served as a teacher to the princes.

Although he had retired long ago, he had taught the princes and grandchildren for many years and still had some ties to their family.

And because they were concerned about their sons' reputations, the mothers of the princes who had been taught by Gu Badai.

After this Irgen Juelu Gege entered the palace and lived in Qianxi Wushe, she received more care.

Since the concubines entered the palace, they were arranged to learn rules and etiquette from the maids.

While they were learning the rules, they were also being watched by countless eyes in the palace.
