Chapter 670: Choosing a son-in-law
The third day of October is the birthday of the Queen Mother, and at this time of the year, the Mongolian princes give a generous birthday gift. The Empress Dowager can now be said to be the only link between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, and the Mongolian princes naturally want to serve her well.
However, this year, the situation is a little different, and the Mongol princes of many tribes have brought their men of the right age to the capital.
The sixth princess and the eighth princess have reached marriageable age!
"Eighth sister, your ninth brother said, the Mongolian princes who came to the capital this year are quite good, he did a rough investigation, there is no such obvious vice, it seems that the Mongolian princes still attach great importance to this marriage. When the time comes, who do you fancy tell your ninth brother, let him go and give you a detailed understanding. ”
Originally, at the beginning of the year, Kangxi was going to marry the sixth princess and the eighth princess, but Concubine Yi did not agree, saying that she wanted to palm the eighth princess in person.
The eighth princess was raised by Concubine Yi when she was a baby, and the relationship between the two is not bad with that of the mother and daughter, Concubine Yi has a different status in Kangxi's eyes now, so she naturally has to fight for her adopted daughter as much as possible.
This is not too much - of course, that is, Kangxi spoils Concubine Xingyi, so he doesn't think it's too much, if he changes to a concubine who is not favored, I'm afraid he will be considered by Kangxi to be ignorant of the rules.
The sixth princess also entrusted the blessing of the eighth princess and was able to pick a husband by herself.
So, when Kangxi was inspecting the outside of the Saiwai, he vaguely revealed the news.
Now that the national strength of the Qing Dynasty is thriving, the Mongolian princes are eager to marry the Qing Dynasty, not to mention the adopted daughter of Concubine Yi, who is the most favored by Kangxi today. can let Concubine Yi come forward, talk about Kangxi, and let the eighth princess choose her own son-in-law, which shows the status of the eighth princess in Concubine Yi's heart.
So, all the tribes brought their own excellent sons over, hoping to gain the favor of the eighth princess, as for the sixth princess...... Hehe, let's wait until the eighth princess has chosen.
The eighth princess blushed: "Khan Ama and Yi En Ne just think it's good, I, how do I know......"
What girl doesn't have a spring? The Eight Princesses are no exception.
In the dead of night, she would toss and turn, imagining what her future husband would look like.
However, she knew in her heart that her marriage could never be decided by her, and she only saw which force the Qing Dynasty needed at that time, then she would be directly given to which one. The princess, looking noble, is actually just a tool for royal marriage.
After several older sisters got married, no one had a happy life, that is, the recent wool money made the life of the princess of the Qing Dynasty better.
She only hoped that her husband was not a tyrannical person, and that was enough.
Fusuni said: "You, marriage is a lifelong event, you always have to find someone who looks pleasing to your eyes, if you don't have a good feeling at all, you have to live together for a lifetime, how tormenting!" It is easy for Enie to ask you for this opportunity, you can look at it with confidence, look carefully, and you will definitely find someone you like and are willing to be good to you, so as to live up to Enie's painstaking efforts. ”
When the eighth princess heard this, she said: "What the ninth sister-in-law said is that I want to be bad, don't worry, I will definitely choose carefully." ”
On the third day of the first month of October, Kangxi congratulated the queen mother on her birthday in Ningshou Palace, and the royal family, the clan, the Mongolian princes, and the ministers of the court and the central government gathered together, which was very lively.
The queen mother is now sixty and six, people are old, they are very homesick, see the Mongolian compatriots, the mood is very good, a while to ask how the weather is on this grassland, whether the wind and rain are smooth? After a while, I asked how many sheep he raised and how much wool he sold this year. After a while, he asked how much the people in the tribe had grown, and the children were all healthy.
Wang Cangjin of Duling County said: "In the past few years, the weather has warmed up, and the grassland is not as cold as in previous years, the pasture grows well, and all tribes have raised many sheep, and the income from wool alone every year is five or six times more than the income of the whole year before!" Haha, now the herdsmen on the grassland are all rich, have more children, and fewer have died. This is all thanks to Jiu Ye and Jiufu Jinna. ”
Hey, Kuratsu also wants to marry the eighth sister?
As soon as Brother Jiu heard Cangjin flattering him, he knew that this person had "bad intentions".
He looked at Cangjin carefully, the wind was strong on the grassland, most of the Mongolians were old, and Cangjin was no exception, he was now twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but he looked like a person in his thirties.
However, Brother Jiu thinks that for men, appearance is not the most important thing. For Cangjin's ability, Brother Jiu still agrees.
He inherited his father's title when he was a teenager, but it was not easy to suppress several uncles. Moreover, after he succeeded to the throne, the Weng Niu Special Department was also expanded, which was even more impressive.
Although he has several concubines, the position of wife has always been vacant. I heard that several Mongolian tribes once wanted to marry him, but he refused. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the idea of Princess Shang.
Although Cangjin is older, he has a knighthood on his body, and he has no parents at the top, so the eighth sister can be the master of the house when she marries, which is not bad to think about.
Well, it can be included in the scope of inspection.
The sixth princess sat next to the eighth princess, listened to Cangjin's words, and said to the eighth princess sourly: "This king of Duling County is here for the eighth sister!" ”
No, not only Cangjin, but all the Mongolian princes here are probably coming for the eighth sister, she is just by the way, and only when the eighth sister picks the rest can it be her turn......
Who left her without a favored adoptive mother.
Cangjin opened his mouth, and other Mongolian princes also spoke, and a few of them pushed out their sons/grandsons to perform Buku, Matouqin, and sing in public, in the name of celebrating the birthday of the Queen Mother, but in fact, they let their children show it, in order to be taken by the eighth princess.
Fusuni looked at it seriously, but she laughed in her heart, this is how these people ask for marriage? It's just clumsy and corny.
The queen mother was very happy to see it, and felt that this child was not bad, and that child was also very good. Heck, all of their Mongolian sons can sing and dance, and they have enough force to protect their women, so it's good for Hachi to marry anyone.
The Queen Mother beckoned to the sixth princess and the eighth princess, waited for them to approach, and asked with a smile: "Little Six, Little Eight, who do you think performs the best?" ”
The sixth princess said shyly and timidly: "The granddaughter thinks it's all good." ”
The sixth princess didn't dare to really express her opinion, she didn't know what Khan Ama thought in her heart, if the last person to marry was not the person she said, then how would she deal with herself? I can only talk about it in such generalities, but fortunately, it will not offend people.
The Queen Mother looked at the eighth princess: "Little Eight, what do you think?" ”
Everyone pricked up their ears to know who the eighth princess wanted.
