Chapter 208: Mulan Autumn Fall
Zaisang of the Aoxuan tribe pleaded with the emperor to deter those who were restless.
Therefore, the emperor planned to hold the Mulan Autumn Festival in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, firstly to test the riding and archery skills of the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and secondly, to strengthen the connection with Mongolia and stabilize the border.
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, in order to win over the Mongolian tribes, Manchu and Mongolian marriages were extremely common. Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, who once assisted the two young emperors and laid the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, was born in the Horqin Department of Mongolia. However, with the entry of the Qing Dynasty into the Central Plains, the relationship with Mongolia gradually became estranged, and in the two generations of Yongzheng and Qianlong, the Manchurian and Mongolian marriages were no longer so important, and the show girls of the Mongolian military banner were rarely selected into the palace.
Looking at the emperor's current harem, none of them are from the Mongolian Borzigit clan, and the show girls of the Han military banner account for the majority.
In this autumn, a group of royal princes, county kings, Baylor, and Beizi must accompany them, and they can also bring their families to accompany them. The emperor specially sent the Queen Mother to go with her, such a good place to visit the mountains and rivers, Yingyun naturally refused to be left behind, so she took the Queen Mother with her.
Therefore, just a few days after returning to the palace, Yingyun packed up her baggage and followed the emperor to the Mulan paddock.
Sitting in the steady carriage, the emperor looked at her excited, and secretly sighed: "The queen is the mother of two children, why don't you still refuse to pay attention." This time to go to the Mulan paddock, let alone ten days and a half months, the queen is really willing to let Yongxuan and Yunyin stay in the palace? ”
Yingyun said: "Why are you reluctant? Could it be that a concubine will be bound by her children for the rest of her life, and she will not be able to go anywhere? It's a boring day! ”
As a modern woman, the value of life is no longer about having children. Children have their own life experiences, and at this point, Yingyun is very open-minded, so it seems that nothing can bind her.
Just like at this moment, Yingyun is sitting in the car, and when she opens the curtain, she can see the vast grassland, as if the sky and the earth are bordering together, and her mind is instantly open-minded, how can it be compared with the square courtyard trapped in the Forbidden City?
In the distance, there are yurts set up by herdsmen, cattle and sheep grazing leisurely, and they hear the bell of the royal car, they all look up, the grassland has not been so lively for a long time.
"Your Majesty," Ying Yun said with anticipation on her face: "When you arrive at the Mulan paddock, can the concubines also learn to ride horses and hunt?" ”
The emperor's eyes converged, and he doubted: "Didn't the queen know how to ride a horse before?" ”
"Huh?" Yingyun almost forgot that the Wulanala clan was born in the Manchu people, unlike the Han people, who did not go out of the second door, and the Manchu women were also riding and shooting from elementary school like men, they had a special horse farm, and the Fujin people would also gather to ride horses on weekdays. However, in recent years, the Manchu people have gradually become sinicized, and there are fewer and fewer women riding and shooting.
"Uh......" Yingyun said with sloppy eyes: "The concubine means that she hasn't ridden a horse for a long time, I'm afraid she has forgotten it a long time ago......"
In order to dispel the emperor's doubts, Yingyun deliberately diverted her gaze, leaned on the window, pointed to the birds flying low in the sky, and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you see there?" ”
"Hai Dongqing."
Ying Yun pulled him to look around, but she successfully distracted him, talked and laughed all the way, and arrived at the Mulan paddock in a short time.
