Secrets of Yuqing Palace

He had an impression of Shi Wenzhuo, especially the memorial he submitted, which stated that close marriage would affect offspring.

He handed the matter over to Soetu at the time, and the results of the investigation were almost the same as what was stated in the appeal.

After confirming the news, Kangxi was in a bad mood for a few days.

He thought of his cousin, Empress Xiaoyi.

If he had known that consanguineous marriage would affect offspring, he should have let his cousin get pregnant.

Otherwise, my cousin would not have died early due to depression and illness caused by the death of her child.

Kangxi regretted not registering Yinzhen under his cousin's name earlier, so that his cousin would not insist on having another child of her own.

It’s too late to say anything now. My cousin has taken the lead and has become the queen.

Now Yinzhen can no longer be registered under her name.

Otherwise, having an extra legitimate son would not only be a threat to Baocheng, but would also be greatly detrimental to the current situation in the court.

Kangxi has not yet decided whether to make the contents of this memorial public.

For the royal family, granting marriage and showing favors was an effective and gentle means to win over court officials and balance the power of all parties.

If this matter were really made public, future royal marriages would be subject to many restrictions.

So he kept the memorial and never sent it out.

But Shi Wenzhuo was indeed on the list of people he wanted to promote.

Yinreng said, "Last time, my son read the memorials recording the concubines."

"The Guarjia sisters are very good. My son even expressed his admiration to Khan Ama at the time, saying that Shi Huashan and his wife are very good at educating their children."

After hearing what Yinreng said, Kangxi also remembered that this incident did happen.

"Since this little Guaerjia is also very good, the big Guaerjia must enter the fourth brother's backyard."

"Then we can use the Little Guaerjia clan to balance the power that the Big Guaerjia clan brings to the Fourth Brother."

"Then you can show your kindness to the little Guaerjia family."

Both father and son tacitly did not mention Dong'e Gege and Yinzhi.

In their minds, the two were already tied together.

Kangxi was even a little angry with Dong'e Gege, thinking that if it weren't for her and Guo Luoluo, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.

Even Yinsi was implicated...

He had disliked 'Dong E' in the first place, and now even this Dong E Gege was labeled as 'restless' by him.

He even had to accept the fact that the Crown Princess that Baocheng had favored was gone, and had to settle for second best.

That Guo Luoluo is even more hateful!

Thinking of these two restless princesses, Kangxi was filled with anger.

'snort! ’

"I still want to marry Lao Jiu!"

"Yue Le probably never thought that the good marriage he had secured for his granddaughter would be ruined by her own actions!"

"I have been merciful enough in not issuing an edict to punish you. Consider it a tit-for-tat!"

As time went by, the farce of the previous few days ended in a whimper.

The day of re-election has finally arrived.

Wanyu and Wanlin followed the nanny's instructions and lined up outside the hall according to the rules.

Before Hesheli Gege and Wanyan Gege entered the hall, the two of them looked at Wanlin with very rich expressions.

The Hesheli clan felt regretful and complicated, while the Wanyan clan felt disdainful and proud.

Wanyu frowned, "What do these two mean?"

She tilted her head to look at her sister, and Wanlin shook her head.

Kangxi, who was in Yanhui Pavilion, was also a little nervous at this time.

With Wuchen's Zen words, the prince's destined person will be among the beauties this time.

Of course he hopes to discover it as early as possible.

The earlier he appears, the more it shows that he has a good family background and is somewhat worthy of the status of a prince.

If her family background is too low, she would not be willing to be the prince's wife even if the prince is willing.

So in order to make the prince have a noble status and be worthy of his princess.

At this time, Kangxi no longer cared about so many things, as his prince had suffered too much injustice.

Guaerjia is no longer suitable, and now he just wants the prince to have a princess of noble status.

What about the Niuhulu clan, the Hesheli clan, the Wanyan clan, the Shumulu clan...

As long as he is the prince's destined person, the higher his status, the better!

Anyway, he believed what Master Wu Chen said. If the other party was really the destined person for the prince, then she and the prince would definitely live in love and harmony and have both sons and daughters in the future!

But unexpectedly, as the noble ladies of the Plain Yellow Banner and the Bordered Yellow Banner passed by one after another, there was no news from the prince.

Kangxi is anxious!

Soon the ladies from the Zhengbai Banner arrived.

Guwalgiya was the most beautiful girl in the Plain White Banner and had the best family background.

Therefore, the nanny arranged him to sit in the front.

The concubines walked into the hall in an orderly manner, and then bowed politely as the eunuchs called out their names.

Due to special circumstances this year, when the beauties enter the palace, the eunuch will call out the names of the beauties and introduce their identities.

In fact, the emperor’s purpose was to let Yinreng know who was who?

When the identity of the destined person is confirmed, someone can immediately come forward and tell him.

After all the first wave of people arrived, all the beauties knelt down and paid their respects.

"Guaerjia Wanlin, daughter of Shi Wenbing, a third-class earl of the Han army and general of Fuzhou, is sixteen years old."

Wanlin knelt and saluted, "Your humble servant, Guarjia Wanlin, pays respect to His Majesty. May His Majesty live long and prosper."

"Guaerjia Wanyu, fifteen years old, daughter of Shi Wenzhuo, Junior Secretary of the Guanglu Temple, of the Han Army's Plain White Banner."

Upon hearing her name, Wanyu immediately knelt down and saluted like her sister, as the nanny had taught her.

"Daughter of Dong'e Chentai, a member of the Manchu army's Plain White Banner, a first-class marquis and also a toshalahab, Dong'e Qinghuan, fourteen years old."

"Wangcha Wuyu, daughter of Wangcha Laxi, a cloud cavalry officer of the Mongol Army's Plain White Banner, aged seventeen."

.........

Kangxi didn't expect that he was listening to the eunuchs calling out the names of the beauties, looking at their appearances, and examining their family backgrounds.

Liang Jiugong suddenly walked forward cautiously.

He asked anxiously, "What is the prince's reaction?"

Liang Jiugong also nodded excitedly.

He whispered, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that when that little Guarjia princess entered the palace just now, the nausea he felt immediately disappeared."

"Your Highness was a little uncertain at first, but then His Highness the Crown Prince moved a little closer to Little Guarjia Gege, and there was nothing unusual about His Highness the Crown Prince!"

Kangxi stood up excitedly, "Really?"

His sudden action caused the eunuch who was calling out the names to stop.

The concubines standing below were wondering what had happened again.

Seeing Liang Jiugong nodded affirmatively, Kangxi was overjoyed.

He sat down and waved his hand, asking the eunuch to continue.

After the eunuch finished calling out the names of this group of people, Kangxi kept looking at the two princesses of the Guwalgiya clan.

He was thinking about how to arrange a marriage for the two of them.

Do you want the prince to feel it more and confirm again whether it is true?

Although the Small Guaerjia clan does not have as much power as the Big Guaerjia clan, they are all members of the Guaerjia clan.

If little Guaerjia became the prince's wife, the entire Guaerjia clan would probably fully support the prince.

Kangxi was thinking about something in his mind, but he asked about the situation of the Guwaljia sisters.

"Guarjia Wanlin."

"The slave is here."

"I heard that Shi Wenbing was ill a few days ago. How is his health now?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. My father has recovered greatly under the care of the judge."

"Well, Shi Wenbing is my trusted and beloved minister. I also hope that he will recover soon and serve me."

"Your Majesty, your grace is great. My father has always been grateful."

Kangxi nodded and waved to the eunuch who called out the names of the candidates.

"Guarjia Wanlin, leave a sign and give me a sachet."

"This Da Guaerjia is indeed quite good. She is polite and well-mannered in her responses. It's obvious that she is well-educated."

The better the other party performed, the more regretful Kangxi felt.

Such a good candidate cannot marry the prince anymore.

But when I think about the Xiao Guaerjia family that Liang Jiugong just mentioned, they are all from the same family and are both legitimate daughters.

Since the elder sister is so outstanding, the younger sister should not be much worse.

Then he looked at Wanyu beside Wanlin.

"Are you Shi Wenzhuo's legitimate daughter?"

Hearing that she was being asked, Wanyu immediately knelt down and replied.

"Your Majesty, this is my servant."

"Have you ever read any books at home?"

(Since she is the prince's destined partner, she must be someone different from the original.)

"Your Majesty, I have a female teacher at home who can teach my sisters. They can learn a few words."

"What kind of books do you like to read? Have you read the Four Books and Five Classics?"

"I understand a little, but I usually prefer strange stories, miscellaneous talks, unofficial history, travelogues, etc."

Kangxi frowned slightly. It's good to know some of the Four Books and Five Classics, but he likes strange stories and miscellaneous talks?
