Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 42 Mother and Daughter
When Xiaozhuang's car drove into Ulan Hada City, it was already late at night.

Princess Shuhui, who went to Bahrain to marry her, did not follow her biological mother's order to come to pay her respects the next day, but waited in front of the other courtyard of the Doro County Prince's Mansion.

"Congratulations to the Empress Dowager."

In front of the gate, a large number of servants fell to their knees, while Princess Shuhui couldn't wait to go up to her and personally helped Xiaozhuang get off the carriage.

"Ene, you have worked hard."

"I knew you wouldn't be obedient. Get up, and pay your respects according to the rules. No one needs to sleep tonight. As I said, it's all free. You will kowtow tomorrow."

When Hai Feng heard this sentence in the car behind, tears were about to fall.

The evaluation of the third princess is quite accurate, the journey was very painful.

Xiaozhuang practiced frugality to the end, and they rarely rested in brick houses on the way, basically setting up tents.What they ate was dry food, and some prey that Prince Gong and his guards had hunted. It was okay in the first few days, but the taste of the food in the next few days was somewhat out of date.

Moreover, unlike the previous life, the time for the carriage and horses to rest was very short, and the advantage was that they arrived at the place in less than ten days, which was considered extremely fast in the Qing Dynasty.

Weary people and horses were exhausted, the big guy only took a quick look at his face, and then went back to his room to rest according to the servant's guidance.

Xiaozhuang, who was in his seventies, gritted his teeth and endured the bumps along the way, and was also a little sad at the moment. Princess Shuhui was very distressed, and was busy arranging bedtime matters.

"Ernie, why are you bothering? You can't believe what I do? Why come here in such a hurry!"

Aunt Su Ma saw that the arrangement was almost done, so she led the servants out of the room so that the mother and daughter could speak for themselves.

"It's not that I don't worry about you, but I'm afraid of accidents. If you allow two or three days, there is room for turning things around. Don't be too busy, I'll ask a few words."

Princess Shuhui just wanted to persuade her mother to rest, but she knew the old man's temper well, and if he didn't arrange things properly, he wouldn't be able to sleep comfortably, so she turned around and sat on the edge of the Arhat bed.

"How is Harqin?"

"Well, if you want me to tell you, you should be unhappy. You should give the second princess to their family. Mulan wants to build a paddock and a palace, and she leads the way in donating land and labor, cattle, sheep, gold and silver, and nothing is left behind; Knowing how to contribute to the military salary, before I said a few words, Fujin of King Duleng asked if 10 taels was enough, which made me feel embarrassed."

After hearing this, Xiaozhuang was silent.

Harqin is the closest Mongolian tribe to the capital and is the gateway to guard the capital.

Would it be too much for her to arrange things according to her own will?
"Who is going to marry my great-granddaughter to? Of course Ene is the one to decide. Who can reject it? But you also have to take into account everyone's ideas, right? Since the founding of our country, how many princesses and princesses have we kissed in Mongolia? There are too many to count. Seeing that war is about to start in the north, it is time for the princesses to serve the country, so how could Xuanye's daughter, Jingui, be the one to be wronged?"

"It has nothing to do with him, it's all my idea. Look at it like this, you still don't like the second princess?"

Princess Shuhui quickly waved her hand and forced a smile.

"I don't dare to admire her. I've seen her twice in the past, and her eyes are in the sky. Urgon has been obedient since he was a child. If we get married, won't he be bullied by her?"

"Then, what about the third princess?"

"Oh, how did Ernie tease me. Who do I want, you are like a mirror in your heart."

There are hundreds of women in one family.

No one is stupid, we all want the best.

After all, Xiaozhuang felt sorry for his only surviving daughter, and he couldn't help but loosen his words.

"Is there not much difference in age?"

"The child sees the wind, and it will look a little bit in a few years. I showed the portrait to Urgon. When the child asked him how the second princess and the third princess were, he said obediently, and let the elders decide. But ask him about Si Gege? He hesitated, blushed, but his eyes kept aiming at the painting. I just saw Si Gege himself, alas, the portrait doesn’t even have a third of charm. She looks good, sure enough, Ernie can train her, she is cute and graceful, which family would not want such a daughter-in-law?"

"Don't you think Guo Guiren's status is too low?"

Eldest Princess Shuhui was already in her sixties, and she was a little tired, so she poured a cup of fresh milk and offered it to Xiaozhuang first, and then poured herself a cup to drink.

"If you want me to say, these are the stinking problems of the Han people. Before entering the customs, we were full of people, what is the matter of widows remarrying? Is it possible to let the young daughter-in-law work hard and become an old woman? How do people live? In Mongolia, that’s nothing. If I despise Guo Guiren, shouldn’t I despise my own stature?”

It was only then that Xiaozhuang realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, poked his daughter's sore spot, and quickly took her hand, holding it tightly.

"I'm confused, don't take it to heart. Sigege, she can't do it, you can choose other princesses."

"Ene, why can't it work? Last year, his Ama passed away, leaving him and the princess in jeopardy. As a grandmother, if I can't help my grandson's marriage, I will feel sorry. Ene , you can give the four divisions to our family!"

"She said she has a good marriage, and no one can come."

"What are you talking about, Si Gege is only so old, so you say it's a good family? Which one? I don't believe it! Could it be Duanmin's family? The three-year-old eldest son? Don't you say that he is worthy of Wu Gege?"

"not him."

Princess Shuhui also lost her temper a bit.

Who can be more noble than her family?Just grab her fancy granddaughter-in-law?

"Then, you'd better stop forcing people into my house. I don't like the Eldest Princess who looks at the city very deeply; the Third Princess is cowardly and cowardly. If she and Urgon become husband and wife, the family will be rich and the business will be great. Vigorous, you are sure to be bullied by others. I'd better find a real wife for Urgon, who can be the head of the family."

Seeing his daughter unhappy, Xiao Zhuang felt bad too.

"Forget it, tell me to think again, think again. How is the arrangement of Guo Guiren going?"

"Well, you just need to send someone here. The Bahrain Ministry is so big, how can you hide her? I just don't understand, why do you bother to stand up for her?"

"You, you have short-sightedness. In the future, she may be able to help Mongolia a lot."

It might also be good for Sigege to marry Bahrain.

At least, their mother and daughter can spend a few more years together.

"Your Majesty, I have tried my best to raise him, but it's a pity that he has big ideas, and Concubine Hui left early, so I didn't leave a brother behind. The blood of Manmeng is connected, and I'm afraid I won't be able to count on him in the future. Mr. Guo Gui, maybe the emperor I didn't even realize how deep my feelings for her were. It's a pity for such a woman to be placed in the palace. If the rules are enforced, she won't be able to get ahead. It's better to jump out. Didn't the Han people say that a wife is not as good as a concubine? A concubine is worse than stealing, stealing is worse than not being able to steal it. You raise her well and take her out when the time is right, the emperor will be happy."

It depends on whether the Tong family is willing to take the bait.
