Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Wanyu hesitated and said, "I haven't set my sights on powerful families like the Duke of Zhiyi with deep roots and great influence before."

"So it's still unclear what the character of that branch's princess is like?"

"And I don't know if they are willing to marry their daughter to Feng Sheng'e?"

Yinreng said with a smile: "Don't worry about this."

"Our Feng Sheng'e is the eldest grandson of the emperor. His excellence is obvious to all."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me this time, and naturally it won't implicate Feng Sheng'e and affect the selection of princesses from the big families."

"Besides, you are from the same clan. With a relative like you as your mother-in-law, as long as your daughter-in-law doesn't make a big mistake, you will definitely protect her to some extent."

"If they are not stupid, they will not reject such an excellent candidate for son-in-law."

Wanyu looked up at him and explained eagerly.

"I don't think you mean to implicate Feng Sheng'e."

"I just think that families who love their daughters might not necessarily want to marry them into the royal family."

Wasn't that what she was like in the beginning?

Just put yourself in their shoes.

Yinreng smiled gently and brushed the hair scattered on her cheeks behind her ears.

"I know you don't mean that."

"I just want you to understand that although Khan Ama is afraid of me, he is actually kind to Feng Sheng'e."

"He treats Feng Sheng'e now just like I did when I was a child."

"If it were any other family, I'm not sure it would work."

"But if they are from the Guwalja clan, and they belong to the same Suwan Guwalja clan as you, then they must have some connection with our Yuqing Palace."

"Although Khan Ama will be cautious, he won't be too heartless."

Wanyu was still a little hesitant and expressed her concerns.

"I'm still a little worried."

"And the Crown Princess is from the Guarjia clan. The wife of the Crown Prince's eldest son is also from the Guarjia clan."

"Khan Ama won't allow it, will he?"

"If Khan Ama doesn't change your mind, then..."

Yinreng understood what the young lady had not finished saying.

If Khan Ama still wishes for me to carry on his father's wishes, then the Crown Princess will definitely be the next Empress.

【As his eldest son, Feng Sheng'e will be the next heir.】

If Feng Sheng'e marries a woman from the Guaerjia clan, then the next queen will also be from the Guaerjia clan.

[This is detrimental to the imperial power. The presence of two successive generations of descendants will rapidly expand the power of the already powerful Guarjia clan, and could easily lead to the monopoly of power by foreign relatives!]

[Khan Ama probably wouldn't want the incident with Oboi to happen again.]

[However, this is a good opportunity to test Khan Ama's feelings.]

Yinreng frowned and said, "Let me think about it again."

"Anyway, I don't want to let Feng Sheng'e down!"

He pondered the current Manchu clans.

In fact, except for the Yehenara clan, princesses from other big clans are all acceptable!

So he whispered to Xiaofujin, "Please ask my mother-in-law and the others to check the information of the princesses of the Manchu families."

"The stronger the family influence, the better. However, we also need to screen her character and personality. We Fengsheng'e don't want just any woman."

Wanyu looked at Yinreng in shock.

"Are you sure the stronger the family power, the better?"

"Aren't you afraid...?"

Yinreng nodded, determination flashing in his eyes.

"If Khan Ama is unwilling to increase the power of our Yuqing Palace, the princess of the Suwan Guwalja clan will be his best choice."

"If Khan Ama doesn't want Feng Sheng'e to marry a princess from the Suwanguerjia clan, he will choose from other women from other powerful families."

"Anyway, we'll shortlist the candidates and let Khan Ama pick one. It doesn't matter who it is. It won't be unfair to my Feng Sheng'e."

"Please prepare the list in advance. When we get out, I will take the list directly to Khan Ama."

Wanyu asked uncertainly, "Aren't you afraid that all your efforts will be in vain, and that Khan Ama won't agree at all?"

Yinreng said with certainty: "No."

He had already made up his mind that after the affairs of the previous dynasty had faded and Khan Ama had lifted the ban on him, he would first arrange his marriage with Khan Ama Tifeng Sheng'e.

After Khan Ama realized his misunderstanding of me and his ruthless scolding and detention of me, he should have felt guilty when he saw me again, right?

【And that letter....】

[As long as he makes good use of this little bit of guilt, Feng Sheng'e's marriage will be settled as he wishes! ]

Seeing that he was confident, Wanyu was persuaded by Yinreng.

He was able to serve as the crown prince for so many years and was the most favored among all the princes. He must have a better understanding of Kangxi.

Since he said so, then it must be so.

"So I delivered the letter to Mama and the others?"

Yinreng: “Yeah.”

Then he reminded: "Don't pick the girls from the Nara family."

"Among the Nara clans, the Yehenara clan is currently the leader. To avoid trouble, it is better not to include the women of the Nara clan in the list."

"Oh, and there's also the Tonggiya clan!"

Wanyu frowned and asked, "The Tongjia clan also doesn't consider it?"

"In fact, as long as we don't consider the one that has been raised from the Han army flag, the other Tonggiya tribes can still be considered."

"For example, the Tongjia branch to which Taizu's first wife, Tongjia Haha Nazaqing, belonged is very good."

"There's also Tonggiya Huerhan, one of the five founding ministers. His branch of the Macha Tonggiya clan is also quite good."

"Furthermore, Tonggiya Huerhan was not only adopted by Taizu, but was also given the surname 'Jiaoluo' because of his many military achievements while accompanying Taizu in his conquest of the empire."

Yinreng smiled and said, "Okay, whatever you think is okay."

"We only want a pure-blooded Manchu princess to be Feng Sheng'e's wife."

"Then let's forget about the one raised from the Han army flag."

"A poor man suddenly becomes rich and extremely ambitious, which is not presentable!"

The couple was in Xian'an Palace, leisurely choosing a wife for their son, not caring at all about the turmoil outside.

Now, the former dynasty is on the verge of chaos.

Because the emperor directly asked the princes and ministers in the court, if the prince was deposed, who would be the most suitable person to take the position of prince?

These words were like a depth charge dropped into the already turbulent lake.

It stirred up all the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake, even causing greater chaos in the court.

Especially those who want to gain the credit of following the dragon are eager to take sides.

And Yinzhen was naturally the first among all the princes to emerge.

Yinzhen thought that Khan Ama said this and really gave up on the second son.

[Now that the second eldest son is gone, isn't it me, the eldest son, who is the most honorable?]

If I don't become the crown prince, which brother can be a good match for me?

So after discussing with Nalan Kuixu and others, when the emperor asked again in the court the next day, Yinzhen directly and confidently recommended himself in the court.

Kangxi sat on the dragon throne, looking at the people below with various expressions, and asked indifferently.

"My dear ministers, what are your thoughts on the Prince of Zhi's self-recommendation?"
