However, if you want to say that Hai Lanzhu saved a mustard for Emperor Chongzhen in her heart, she didn't.

At that time, she often thought that since the woman of the Korqin Borzigit clan could not control her fate, and after all, she could not avoid handing over a nobleman from the Mongolian tribes or the Jurchen Eight Banners, so it was always not wrong for her to marry the most powerful Ming emperor in this land.

It was with this mentality that Hari Zhula, from Horqin, silently accepted the arrangement of fate, and was brought back to Rehe by the Ming army that went north to attack the enemy, brought to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and entered the palace to become the Lan Concubine of the Ming Emperor.

Now she gave birth to a princess for the Ming Emperor, was promoted to a noble concubine, and became one of the most powerful women in the Forbidden City.

Two years have passed, and Emperor Chongzhen's love and kindness to her, as well as his respect and cherishment for her, are something she has never encountered on the grassland before.

Perhaps there were people who admired her beauty, and perhaps there were people who longed for Korqin's support by getting her.

But Hai Lanzhu knew very well in her heart that what those Mongolian tribes or the leaders of the Jurchen Eight Banners valued was not herself, let alone her soft and rigid character, not her beautiful and refined aspirations, but the people and horses of the Mongolian tribes of Horqin's left-wing Mongolian tribes.

As for the Ming Emperor in front of him, now his husband, no matter whether he wants to end up or not is also Horqin's people, but at least he has full and sincere respect for himself.

And he was born in the most powerful family in the world, controlled the most powerful dynasty in the world, and at the same time energetic, young and promising, and considerate of himself, all of which almost completely satisfied Hai Lanzhu's imagination of the other half of his life.

Such a man is a perfect husband for any woman.

This is also true for Hailanzhu from the Horqin grassland.

Men will always fantasize about how their future wives will be beautiful and virtuous, and women will always fantasize about how their future husbands will be handsome, golden, young and promising, and how successful.

And for Hai Lanzhu, the current Emperor Chongzhen is already the best kind of future she can imagine back then.

Of course, after becoming Concubine Lan, Hai Lanzhu is not without regrets in her heart.

And the only thing that makes Hai Lanzhu feel that there is a fly in the ointment is that Emperor Chongzhen has invested too much time in dealing with tedious state affairs, and he can't spare more time to come to Chuxiu Palace to accompany him.

Of course, this is the common mentality of all women in the world, who not only want their men to succeed in their careers, but also hope that their men will guard themselves every day.

This is of course impossible.

Hai Lanzhu looked at Emperor Chongzhen, listening to the words he said, and her heart was full of sweetness.

The young Emperor Chongzhen in front of him, with a high forehead, thick eyebrows, and phoenix eyes on his rectangular face, the bridge of his nose is not tall or short, but it goes straight down, plus a bowed mouth, a blunt chin, a trimmed mustache on his upper lip, and a short beard on his chin.

At this moment, wearing a crown of golden silk wings, wearing a bright yellow round-necked dragon robe, a jade belt around the waist, and soap boots on his feet, his originally slightly thin body was set off by a graceful and luxurious emperor's regular clothes, which was set off with a heroic posture and extraordinary spirit.

Hai Lanzhu, who has dreamed of marrying a hero since he was a child, looked at the Ming Emperor in front of him, who was not a hero but ruled over countless heroes, and was satisfied for a while.

"Your Majesty loves to be a concubine, and a concubine is self-saving! The Han land is more vulgar, the rules in the palace, and the concubine must abide by it! ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so concerned about himself, Hai Lanzhu was worried that he didn't know how to maintain and what kind of illness he would leave behind, so he couldn't stop talking, and hurriedly replied with a smile:

"However, the concubine grew up in the cold land of the Arctic, and she has practiced horseback riding and archery since she was a child, and her body is not like that of an ordinary little woman, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry too much!"

After saying this, Hai Lanzhu put away her smile, looked at the emperor and continued: "Your Majesty, you should pay more attention to your body!" The concubine heard that the outside court has been busy in recent days, and His Majesty has almost no rest, so how can he get it if he goes on like this for a long time!

"If the weather is fine on a sunny day, the concubine wants to accompany His Majesty to ride a horse and shoot arrows at the foot of Banzai Mountain, so that Your Majesty can have a way to strengthen his body!"

After Hai Lanzhu said this, she couldn't help but laugh to herself.

Hai Lanzhu's gentle and soft tone, speaking in Chinese with a straight tone, made Emperor Chongzhen nod his head.

After Hai Lanzhu said these words, he smiled, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel that the entire warm pavilion was lit up.

As the so-called residence and migration of qi, the cultivation of the body, and the two years of entering the palace, Hai Lanzhu, who is already tall and beautiful, has a more graceful posture and a more exquisite appearance.

The little plateau red on the cheeks has long since disappeared, and the tender white and smooth skin is like jade and porcelain, with well-defined facial features, which always makes Emperor Chongzhen get tired of looking at it and be fascinated.

Fortunately, Emperor Chongzhen came to Chuxiu Palace today, not just to visit Concubine Lan.

After listening to Hai Lanzhu's words at the moment, she agreed to her request with a smile, and then asked Princess Kunyi, who was born less than ten days ago, to take it, hold it in her arms, and talk about raising children for a while, of course, it is some common sense in later generations.

In the end, he looked at his child with wide eyes and amazement, handed it to the female official in the cabinet, and said to Hai Lanzhu:

"I often hear you talk about the grasslands of Horqin, the lakes and mountains there, it really makes me yearn for it! How can I be entangled in state affairs, and I don't have the opportunity to go north to take a look, which makes me often regret it! ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen changed the topic, and then said: "I heard that after the Jurchens were defeated at the end of last year, they passed through the Horqin tribes, but they incorporated the Horqin headquarters in Gelzhuergen, as well as the left wing of Horqin led by your father, as well as the right wing of Horqin, and the Alu Korqin further north, all of which were incorporated into the Eight Banners of the Jin State after the establishment of the captivity!"

"Regarding this matter, the Li Fan Yuan knows that your brother Manzhu Xili is now working in the Li Fan Yuan, and I think I have already told you about it."

Speaking of this, Hai Lanzhu, who was still smiling, gradually disappeared with a smile, looked at the emperor with a slightly uneasy expression, sighed lightly, and said cautiously:

"The concubine knew about this, and His Majesty asked Manzhu Xili to send his entourage out of the fortress and return to Horqin to find the relatives of Ulan Tuya and Su Rina.

"The concubine and her younger brother are now in the Ming Jingshi, and the fact of Saibei is beyond the fact that the concubine can predict or interfere with it, please forgive Your Majesty for this situation!

"The Horqin tribes are separated from the Ming Dynasty by two thousand miles, and they don't know the wealth and strength of the Ming Dynasty, and they don't know the benevolence of His Majesty, but they live next to the Jurchens, and they know that the Jurchens are fierce, and if they don't deliberately flatter, they are afraid that there will be a disaster of extermination. This is exactly the reason why the Mongols of the Horqin tribes bent their knees to the Jurchen!

"In the opinion of the concubine, this time the Horqin tribes changed their flags and lost their original status of the foreign domains and the Jurchen Eight Banners, even if all the tribes were obedient, but there must be dissatisfaction in their hearts. It's just—"

Speaking of this, Hai Lanzhu looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a melancholy expression, stopped his words, and did not continue.

At the beginning, when she first entered the Forbidden City, Hai Lanzhu thought that Emperor Chongzhen had forcibly accepted her as a concubine in order to win over Horqin, but in the past two years, she had not seen this.

However, with the passage of time, even Hai Lanzhu, who has been rarely going out in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, gradually knows that Horqin's status is declining for the thriving Ming Dynasty.

Especially at the end of the second year of Chongzhen, after Emperor Chongzhen personally came to Juyong Pass to resist the invasion of the Jurchens and won a victory, Hai Lanzhu's younger brother Manzhu Xili was brought back to Beijing.

Hai Lanzhu went out of the palace to the Gongshun Marquis's mansion, met his younger brother, and got a series of news from the mouth of Manzhu Xili about the Mongols of the Horqin tribes who followed the Jurchens to attack the Ming Dynasty and returned unsuccessfully.

From that time on, Hai Lanzhu was worried that she would lose the favor of Emperor Chongzhen and lose her status among the concubines of the Forbidden City, and on the other hand, she was also secretly worried that Horqin would arouse the anger of Emperor Chongzhen and suffer the disaster of extermination.
