Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanlin mentioned Hongxi's marriage not only to lead to what she wanted to say later.

It’s also because I’m really worried about my nephew’s marriage.

In the previous life, the legitimate wife of the eldest illegitimate son Hongxi was the eldest daughter of Princess Duanjing and her husband, Garzang, the Zasakduleng Prince of the Kharchin tribe.

Although her status was not low, she was indeed a Mongolian woman.

Even though Princess Duanjing and her husband had a deep relationship in this life, she still felt that she was not a good match for Hongxi.

The fact that she was a Mongolian noblewoman was very disadvantageous to Hongxi.

Hongxi's current status is far superior to that of the illegitimate eldest son in his previous life. To be the legitimate eldest grandson of the emperor, he must be a noble lady of the Manchu military flag, right?!

She brought it up earlier because she hoped that her third sister and the prince would take Hongxi's marriage seriously.

Don't let the emperor appoint another Mongolian noblewoman as his wife.

Yinreng listened to Concubine Mu's inner thoughts, the curve of his lips remained unchanged, but his hand holding the teacup tightened and tightened.

He had never expected that Khan Ama would be so cruel as to directly arrange a marriage for Hongxi with a Mongolian princess. How was this any different from severing Hongxi's chances of marriage?!

Although they are not the same Hongxi, aren't they both his sons?

Why did Khan treat his grandson like this? Isn’t it because he is the Crown Prince?

Therefore, Khan Ama was not defeated because of Hongxi, but because of him, the prince!

[Are you trying to suppress me? ]

Wanyu frowned slightly.

"Our Fengsheng'e is only 13 years old this year."

"Isn't it a bit early to consider Feng Sheng'e's marriage now?"

His actual age is only 12 years old, which means he has only graduated from elementary school in modern times!

Wanlin shook her head affirmatively, "It's getting late."

"By the next general election, Feng Sheng'e will be 15 years old."

"The Emperor will probably appoint a wife for Feng Sheng. If you don't look carefully beforehand, you won't know the character of your future daughter-in-law."

Yinreng understood a message: in the next general election, Khan Ama would give Duanjing's daughter to Fengsheng'e as his wife!

[Looks like I really need to start preparing early.]

He would never allow Feng Sheng'e to marry a Mongolian wife!

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, he looked at the young lady gently and said with approval.

"What Concubine Mu said makes sense. We should start selecting for Feng Sheng'e in advance."

"You should pay more attention to the daughters of Manchu nobles. We can pick a good one for Feng Sheng'e as soon as possible."

"We don't have to decide now, but we must be more selective and not let Feng Sheng'e down."

Seeing that her second sister and Yinreng were both persuading her, Wanyu nodded in agreement.

"Ok."

After talking about Feng Sheng'e's marriage, several people took the opportunity to mention their younger children.

Yinzhen rarely spoke. He was always worried about his eldest son Hongyun who was still alive.

Although he is now nine years old, he is still sickly all these years, which always makes people worried.

When they heard Yinzhen mention Hongyun, the three people present felt a little uncomfortable.

Wanyu knew that the eldest surviving son of Emperor Yongzheng in later generations was Hongshi, not the current Hongyun, so she knew that this Hongyun would definitely not grow up.

Wanlin knew that Hongyun would probably die of illness in the next two years.

Yinreng knew from Concubine Mu's thoughts that his nephew Hongyun could not be raised.

Although Yinreng had no intention of interfering with his nephew's health, he still patiently comforted his good brother because the child was in a bad mood.

He was also reminded that his only two sons were both born to Han army bannermen of low status.

Moreover, one of them is sick and the other is young, and their future is still unknown.

So he should pay more attention to his offspring, and it would be best if he could have more children with full military flags.

She even pointed out that the Empress Dowager had bestowed upon him the title of Manchu military flag princess a few years ago.

Because his concubine and second sister-in-law were both there, Yinzhen nodded uncomfortably and didn't say anything more.

The atmosphere was slightly awkward, and Wanlin said abruptly, "The Emperor tours the frontier almost every year."

"Will Your Highness the Crown Prince and Third Sister go with us when we go to the Great Wall this year?"

Yinzhen looked at his concubine in surprise, wondering why the concubine, who was always dignified and polite, would suddenly ask such a rude question?

Yinreng's heart sank, [Here it comes! ]

Wanyu looked towards Yinreng, meaning to see what the prince thought.

Yinreng nodded in response to the other party's question.

"In recent years, when Khan Ama toured the south and the frontier, he always asked me and my elder brother to accompany him. We should go together."

He looked at Yinzhen with a gentle smile and satisfaction on his face.

"But my fourth brother is often kept in the capital by Khan Ama as regent. So, my fourth brother and his concubine probably won't be able to go together."

Wanlin smiled uncomfortably and continued.

"I heard that the Emperor likes to take his young princes with him when he travels these days."

"Plus, Consort Wang is very favored in the palace. She has been bringing Prince Yinyu and Prince Yinlu with her for the past few years."

"I wonder if Prince Yinli and Prince Yinxun will be brought along this year?"

She looked at her third sister and the prince.

"Will Third Sister bring Hongye, Fuerguochun, and Fuling?"

"Hongye and Folguochun are better off, as they are already eight years old this year. Fuling'a is still young, and I'm afraid he will suffer if he travels with you outside the Great Wall."

"If Third Sister and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are worried about Fu Ling, it might be better for him to stay in the capital."

Yinzhen was getting more and more unreasonable when his concubine spoke, even interfering with the decisions of his second brother and sister-in-law, the crown prince, so he immediately scolded her.

"Concubine!"

"I know you have good intentions and are worried about Fu Ling's health."

"But my second brother and his wife have their own considerations, and they don't need you to say too much."

Wanlin bowed apologetically and said, "I have overstepped my bounds."

"It's just that I'm thinking of the young princes in the palace. We'll have to go on an imperial tour to the frontier with them when the time comes."

"Since the Crown Princess has to take care of Fuling's children alone, and also look after the young princes, I'm afraid she will be too busy to handle everything."

"Whether it's Hongye, Folguochun, or the other young princes, they're all still young and could easily go wrong."

"If a child is not properly cared for, it is very easy for him to get sick, let alone someone as young as Fu Ling."

"If anything happens to the young princes, the Crown Princess will probably suffer as well."

"If something happens to Hongye and the others, it will be even more..."

"Ah~"

"Although I also hope that I am praying for others to worry about the future, I still hope that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess can make some preparations."

"It would be even better if we could stay away from this trip to the Great Wall and avoid the troubles that may come with it."

[So! It’s best not to follow me on this tour beyond the Great Wall!]

Wanyu had heard that several younger princes might travel together to the frontier, and later her second sister mentioned that the younger prince was susceptible to illness despite his young age. She felt like she had been hit hard.

'yes!'

"Historically, it seems that it was because one of Kangxi's younger brothers suddenly fell ill and died while traveling with the emperor in Mongolia. Then, for some unknown reason, Kangxi deposed the crown prince for the first time."

Although she didn't remember the specific year or which prince it was?

But judging by age, it is most likely one of Yinli and Yinxun.
