Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 292
After getting off the carriage, he saw a familiar figure coming forward, bowing down to the emperor and Chen Wenxin.

It turned out to be Princess Heshuo Wenyi, and now Princess Horqin.

"Greetings to Huang Ama Shengan, please Qin'er Niang Jinan."

In the Qing Dynasty, women usually performed the Wanfu ceremony of squatting.

Princess Wen Yi once married far away, and now she can see her relatives again, so the gift is solemn.

Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward to help the princess up, and Chen Wenxin also stepped forward to help the princess herself.

"Why do you have to do such a big ceremony? Is the princess okay? Are you still used to the eating and drinking weather here?"

Chen Wenxin held her hand and asked how she was doing.

Seeing Princess Wen Yi's eyes were red from crying, Chen Wenxin frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Prince Horqin.

Her glance was unintentional, but in the eyes of Prince Horqin, it was full of murderous intent.

He was stunned for a moment, and Princess Wen Yi hurriedly explained: "Mother Qin'er, I missed Huang Ama and you, so I was so excited to meet you. I'm fine here, don't worry."

Only then did Chen Wenxin realize that her gaze was too hostile, and she couldn't help but nodded apologetically to Lord Horqin.

Only then did Prince Horqin react, shame and anger welled up in his heart.

Although he is not as decisive as the previous Prince Dali, he is still a tough man after all, how can a woman's eyes scare him?
It was ashaming to be such a young and frail woman.

The emperor watched the eye dispute with cold eyes. He was amused in his heart, but he just pretended not to see it.

"Concubine Qin, you can talk to the princess."

As he spoke, he went straight into the big tent, and those Mongolian leaders and ministers in Beijing also followed.

Princess Wen Yi dragged Chen Wenxin into her tent.

I saw that this tent was a bit bigger than the king's tent, and it was very exquisitely decorated, which was different from those magnificent palaces in the palace.

Most of the tents are dowry maids and mothers brought out from the palace, while Mongolian servants are all serving outside the tents.

Looking closely at the decorations in this tent, there are also large and curly horns hanging on the tall red tent wall.

There is also a pair of Mi Xiangyang's Tianma Fu displayed behind the desk, and there are also exquisite enamel porcelain with a few wild goose feathers inserted.

The entire tent looks like a combination of Mongolian and Beijing decoration styles, and it seems that the owner has painstakingly created it.

Chen Wenxin smiled and praised, "Your tent is good, I like it even after seeing it. I think you have a good life here, otherwise you wouldn't have the intention to clean up the house, would you?"

The princess blushed, "This place is not as bad as I imagined, and the prince treats me well, it's not as restrictive as being in Beijing."

Yes, no matter how bad Mongolia is, at least the sky is high and the clouds are wide, which can make people feel refreshed.

"It's just that the climate here is different from that in Beijing, and your spleen and stomach are not suitable for the diet here. Some habits have to be changed slowly, and you can't act too hastily. Let your body adapt slowly to take care of it."

She heard that what Chen Wenxin said were all faithful words, she also nodded and smiled, "I know."

After a while, Mammy brought over some snacks, some Mongolian and some palace-style.

"Ms. Qin, try these snacks. They are not too fishy. I think you can eat them."

Chen Wenxin saw that there was milk jelly in it, so she tasted a little, and asked her, "Are these pastries that you brought made by the cooks in the palace?"

"Yes. When I got married, I brought a lot of craftsmen of all kinds. Some made dim sum, some made tea, and some made dishes from various places. Just the cook, I brought back nearly ten of them. Not to mention the tailors, Embroidery, shoemaking..."

She added: "This is all the grace of Emperor Ama, and Mother Qin'er is kind. I will benefit a lot from giving these dowries to me."

The dowry was not originally arranged by Chen Wenxin, but was prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs according to the regulations.

Princess Heshuo has an example of Princess Heshuo, and Princess Gulun has an example of Princess Gulun.

Because it is common for princesses of the Qing Dynasty to be sent to Mongolia for marriage, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very familiar with these matters.

Princess Wen Yi didn't stay in the palace for a long time, and she stayed with Concubine Hui, so the two of them didn't have much interaction in the palace.

On the contrary, when the emperor saw the dowry list sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Chen Wenxin raised his eyebrows, saying that there were too few cooks with him.

The princess is not used to marrying far away, and the cattle and sheep eaten in Mongolia are rough, so how can it be good if the body is ruined by eating for a while?
Instead, we should bring more cooks, all kinds of cooks, so that the princess can keep her health forever if she eats comfortably.

The emperor thought at the time that this made sense.

The body of the princess is the most important thing, not to mention that these princesses are the emperor's own daughters and nieces.

That is to say, to be more utilitarian, if a princess dies, the emperor has to find a way to marry another princess.

Wouldn't it be worth the candle?

Therefore, the emperor made the decision, and from then on, twice as many cooks were added to the dowry of the princess.

Others may not know the reason for this addition, Princess Wen Yi read the dowry list and asked the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find out.

Thinking that Chen Wenxin is such a generous person, he was not destined to have a close friendship, and felt deeply regretful.

Unexpectedly, within half a year, she actually met Chen Wenxin in Horqin.

Chen Wenxin smiled and said: "You are not in the palace anymore, I just want to tell you the truth. I am a good-natured person, and I was thinking at the time, what would I want most if I married in Mongolia? Of course I want I want the food in Beijing, hahaha."

Princess Wen Yi didn't expect her to be so forthright, how could she look like the concubine Qin who was rumored in the palace?
I want to come to this place where the sky is wild and vast, it can really cleanse people's minds and reveal their truest side.

She couldn't help laughing, "Qin'eriang's temperament is straightforward, just now you gave the prince a look, and he was frightened. I'm afraid he will come to ask me after resigning from Huang Ama at night. It has a lot to do with me."

In fact, Chen Wenxin's look just now moved her very much.

It was an unconscious movement for a moment, which proved that she was sincerely defending herself and was deeply afraid that she would be bullied.

"That's natural. Our most honorable princess in the Qing Dynasty, how can I be bullied by others?"

Princess Wen Yi smiled and personally poured her a bowl of buttered tea, "I heard that Qin'erniang doesn't like to drink alcohol. This is buttered tea. You can try it."

The two of them talked about themselves in the tent, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves for a while.

At the big tent, the atmosphere was very serious, forming a stark contrast.

The emperor sat on the head and asked, "I heard that the Mongolian tribes are not as friendly as before, so I came to have a look. Unexpectedly, what I said is true."

The people below were a little nervous when they heard this, the emperor is showing courtesy first, and he was still smiling when he was interviewed just now.

Why now, he looks like he's provoking a teacher.

Everyone knew how the emperor treated the former prince Daluan.

Although he took the blame for himself, it also shows that the emperor has a way of dealing with the various Mongolian ministries.

"Your Majesty, maybe there is such a word, but I don't have it."

Prince Horqin quickly disregarded the relationship. He was personally supported by the emperor, and he just married a princess of the Qing Dynasty. He is the most loyal to the emperor.

Lord Horqin showed his loyalty, and the others followed suit, saying that he had no disputes with other tribes.

The emperor divided Mongolia into various banners and tribes to rule, and did not allow the various tribes to compete with each other for territory and cattle and sheep.

Of course, the emperor also gave enough pensions to all ethnic groups. For example, in areas where the water and grass are not fertile enough, the emperor will give more food to make up for it.

Who is willing to risk their lives to snatch the food and pensions that can be enjoyed for nothing?
Therefore, the bloodiness of Mongolian men has been wiped out, and the conflict between various ethnic groups has also decreased, and the population has increased a lot.

This is a scene that the emperor likes to see. As long as the Mongolian tribes are in peace, the north of the Qing Dynasty can be guaranteed to be safe.

After those Mongolian leaders expressed their loyalty one after another, two or three of them who did not speak became particularly conspicuous.

These two or three were originally the leaders of the territory close to Western Mongolia.

Now that Western Mongolia is not at peace, a few of them have no confidence to speak.

One of them couldn't help but stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have Eight Banners in Chahar. The water and grass are not lush, but the place is not much smaller than Horqin. Now the turmoil in Western Mongolia is about to hit my territory. Your Majesty, what shall I do at that time?"

The Chahar tribe belongs to central Mongolia, where the land is vast, but not as lush as Eastern Mongolia.

Therefore, the Chahar tribe has a large area and few people, and the entire tribe can barely make up an army.

The leader of the Chahar tribe meant that he was in the central region and would be the first to be affected by the war in Western Mongolia.

He wanted to fight, but he was afraid that he would not be able to fight, and he hoped that the emperor would not think that he was rebellious because of his counterattack.

After all, those tribes in Western Mongolia were in a barbaric state of non-submission, but the Chahar tribe in the middle of him had handed over a letter of submission to the Qing Dynasty.

He didn't want to be implicated by the flames of war in Western Mongolia, but also to be regarded as a traitor by the emperor.

"Has Chahar already taken action when he said such a thing?"

There was not much anger in the emperor's voice, he knew that those leaders who were really disobedient would not dare to come to Horqin to see him.

Those who can come, even if there are some small moves, they don't intend to rebel after all.

"Let me guess, is it the Zhungeer Department or the Heshuo Special Department?"

The leader of the Chahar tribe was taken aback by what he said. He didn't expect the emperor to know so much about the things on the Mongolian grassland when he was in Beijing.

"Your Majesty, the Zhungeer Department is like a newborn wild wolf. His fur and claws are all grown. Now he can't wait to expand around, like a wolf cub sucking the milk of a female wolf. I can't help the Zhungeer Department , that is suicidal."

The emperor laughed, "You are pretty smart, just sit down and talk, I don't blame you."

It would be really stupid if the Chahar Ministry helped the Zhungeer Ministry.

"It's just that if you want to help the Heshuo Special Division, it's useless. It will be a matter of time before the Heshuo Special Division can't beat Zhungeer."

He turned his eyes to another leader who looked restless, "What about the Torghut Department?"

The man hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, in fact, I am not the leader of the Turghut Department, I... I am also the leader of the Torghut Department..."
