Chapter 237 She Hasn’t Remembered Everything Yet
[Compared to the noble ladies from the grasslands, they can live anywhere. Although they are not as free in the Qing Dynasty, their lives are better, and they will live better and better. Look at the princesses who married into the Qing Dynasty. Their temperaments are no different from rabbits. Even when they meet their husbands, they have to ask the nanny. Their daily life is controlled by the nanny. They are not as good as the women in the countryside. ]
Wen Yao was full of complaints in her heart, otherwise why would she keep accumulating merits? In case she gave birth to a daughter, she would have to prepare more merits for her daughter. By then, she would be able to stay in Beijing and have a high status, and the prince consort would definitely not be able to take a concubine!
Want to take a concubine? Beat him to death!
Kangxi was outside at this time. After dealing with the Shadow Order, he planned to go out for a walk, but he heard that the Ninth Concubine was going to the Yikun Palace, so Kangxi followed her. However, there was one thing. When he stepped into the Yikun Palace, he felt regretful. Why did he follow her?
Every time Concubine Xiaojiu had some bizarre thoughts, Kangxi would comfort himself that at least he had made a lot of contributions!
So Kangxi followed him but didn't come in. As a result, he heard some very strange words but he felt they were right. His own princess was definitely going to be married off to a foreign country and this was a fact that could not be changed!
Even if one day all the surrounding grassland tribes are completely under control, it will be necessary to select a few princes-in-law from there so that we can have better control!
Among the princesses who were married off to other countries, Ke Jing is the only one who has some say now. Even if the others were alive, they would not have any say.
"You are even intervening in state affairs now!" Concubine Yi faced Wen Yao, glanced outside, and reached out to touch Wen Yao's forehead, "The emperor should scold you more. You have made several contributions now, but you still have such thoughts!"
"Mother, don't be angry~ I'm thinking about the princesses. Actually, this is our family background. The princesses are my sisters, so they are also my sisters, right? I'm thinking about the lives of my sisters, isn't that good? What if I don't care about anything, just watch them get married and die early?" Wen Yao shook her head helplessly, then sighed, "I'm also good friends with Chunxu and the others. They go to the prince's residence to look for me, their sister-in-law, from time to time. It's so painful to think that they will never see us again after they get married in the future!"
[Although the servants in the palace have been killed as a warning to others, especially the maids and servants beside the princesses have been replaced, but who can guarantee that they will not appear again after they get married in the future, and must get the permission of the maids to see the prince consort or the princess? To avoid this problem, the princesses can only stand up on their own. Not only do they need to be martial arts masters, but they also need to know some medical skills and understand some government affairs. ]
Wen Yao looked at Concubine Yi, "Mother, please tell me, there is one thing I don't understand, why can't the princesses go to the study room with the princes? It doesn't matter if you teach one or a group of people, why not teach them together, just because women have to take care of their husbands and children? But the princesses are going to marry and contribute to the stability of the Qing Dynasty, shouldn't they have some privileges and something to save their lives?"
[Going to the grassland, do you still expect to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting with the princes there? Chunxun and the others can't even dance, which should be considered unpresentable in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty. However, on the grassland, there are bonfire dinners and other things, and it is also common for men and women to go horseback hunting. It would be difficult for the princess to get along well if she went there! ]
Wen Yao was actually very confused. The noble ladies from the grasslands were all taught and had to comply with the rules of the Qing Dynasty before coming to the Qing Dynasty. How come the princesses of the Qing Dynasty could get married whenever they wanted without any teaching?
"This is something the emperor should consider. I don't have a princess, so I don't have to worry about that. When Ke Jing..." Concubine Yi sighed, "Even though I was reluctant to let Ke Jing go, she wanted to stay away from me and the Qing Dynasty. She was willing to do so. She still blames me for not protecting her mother and the emperor for not avenging her mother."
[Kejing, although I know very little about the princess of the Qing Dynasty, many people in later generations know Kejing. She is the famous Princess of the Sea Clam! Princess Kejing has great power in the south and north of the desert.]
Wen Yao knew that the word "haibang" was Manchu, which meant "counselor for consultation" in Chinese. [As far as I know, Princess Kejing is not only not subject to the jurisdiction of the naturalized general and the governor's office, but also has to make them kneel down and greet her. At the same time, Princess Kejing also has the right to participate in politics.]
[However, I don’t know when Princess Kejing started to participate in politics, but I remember that after she got married, the Khalkha tribes stopped fighting among themselves, and even worked together to point the finger at the divisive Galdan. Kejing fulfilled the highest significance of the marriage and truly fulfilled Kangxi’s responsibility of monitoring Mongolia. Anyway, she did a lot of other things, but I don’t remember them all! ]
When Kangxi heard the key point, his face darkened. Even if girls in later generations could go to school, this concubine Xiaojiu would definitely be the worst one. She could only remember some weird and bizarre things, or gossip about everyone in the Qing Dynasty, but she couldn't even remember the key one!
They had to experiment to make the good cement, and their records are so vague!
Finally there was some news that he wanted to know, but she hadn't remembered it all!
Kangxi took a few deep breaths. Concubine Xiaojiu could make him mad, but this also reminded him that he should let his princesses learn something practical, otherwise there would be no point in marrying them.
He planned to completely eliminate the Shadow Order and no longer use it, but he could reorganize it and select new people to follow the princess to visit the Mongolian tribes.
"Was Kejing's biological mother's death... caused by the harem? Or did she really die of illness?" Wen Yao looked at Concubine Yi, blinked, and glanced outside, "Mother, please tell me~"
Concubine Yi glanced at Wen Yao, then sat opposite her, playing with her nail covers, "Sister has been married before. In fact, before the emperor came to power for eighteen years, the harem was a mess, with all kinds of names, and there were no rules. Also, married women could enter the palace as long as their husbands were not around. After all, this was the case for the late emperor and Emperor Taizong," and no one was refused.
Concubine Yi sighed, "My sister didn't expect to be favored when she entered the palace, but she was grateful after being favored. In fact, we sisters don't have a good relationship, and we are all from the Guoluo family, so there is no hatred between us. It's just that family resources are a point of dispute between us. I am a concubine, and she is just a concubine. Even if she gave birth to Kejing, I will raise him."
"Sister was actually very satisfied. After I had Yinqi and Yinluo, sister also had another child," Concubine Yi's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness. "At that time, I was happy but also worried about sister. After all, Yinqi was raised by the Queen Mother, with Khorchin's support, and the Guoluo family already had two princes. Sister..."
