Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1135 Zhen Huan Enlarged to 61

Lao Jiu and Lao Shi are really good brothers. Lao Jiu has only been out for a few days and he is already thinking about Lao Shi.

The Ninth Lady advised the Ninth Brother not to worry, "Tenth Brother did do something wrong in the beginning. Everyone knows that he was secretly in contact with Nian Gengyao. Because of the petty mind of the boss above, if Tenth Brother had not decisively stayed indoors, he might have joined you at the clan residence."

Of course the Ninth Prince felt uncomfortable when he heard what Lady Fu Jin said, and his expression did not look very good. However, thinking about the contribution Lady Fu Jin had made in taking care of the people in the mansion and his mother over the years, he did not say anything.

When the Ninth Lady saw that the Ninth Prince had a sour face, she just sneered in her heart. The little warmth that she had cultivated last night disappeared in an instant.

"The Emperor took away the title of the Tenth Prince, but did not do anything more. The Tenth Prince just shut himself in and did not go out. I have taken care of him a little in the past two years, but that is the situation in our house. I only send him some important things occasionally, and that is all."

The Ninth Prince then realized that he had misunderstood his wife, but noble men like them rarely surrendered, and were very awkward, let alone admitting their mistakes.

The Ninth Lady sighed and said, "My master has returned safely. There is no need to worry about the Tenth Prince at the moment. As long as he is willing to surrender, he will definitely get his title back one day. After all, the Niuhulu clan is standing behind him. Alinga is still alive. I heard that the young men of the Niuhulu clan have also made many military achievements. The Tenth Prince will definitely benefit from it."

"You should worry more about the marriages of the children at home. They were old enough to get married a few years ago, but due to the family situation, we couldn't find a suitable family. So I kept it to myself and didn't report it to the palace. My fifth brother also helped me at the clan affairs office, so the matter was put on hold."

It has been so many years, and the Ninth Concubine has long since let it go. She does not have the courage to divorce like Wanyan. Because of the birth of Empress Xiaoxian, the entire Dong'e family cannot hold their heads up high. Now, it is heard that the palace is going to find a legitimate wife for the Third Prince Hongshi. Apart from the marriages of her two daughters, the Ninth Concubine is most concerned about this.

As for what the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince were going to do, she really had no control over it and didn't want to control it.

This election had to be postponed due to the empress dowager's mourning period, but Da Pangju had already allowed the over-age beauties to marry on their own next year. This was considered a good thing, after all, not all women were willing to enter the palace and take a chance.

God knows how nervous the families with daughters in the royal family were when the Dzungar Khanate proposed marriage last year, especially the Ninth Concubine. She was really worried that the Emperor's legitimate princess would not be suitable, so she planned to choose a princess from the royal family to marry the Dzungar Khanate. If Prince Heng had not warned her early on that the Emperor intended to send troops and not to marry, she would have been prepared to fight to the death.

Years ago, the Qing army won a great victory and Dzungar Khan Yingge was almost captured. However, although the old man was defeated, he still had some integrity. Seeing the army closing in, he committed suicide very quickly to preserve his reputation.

At that time, Prince Heng decisively wiped out all of Yingge Khan's confidants. The ownership of the Dzungar Khanate was unclear. Now that the country was in the midst of war, the court did not dare to use military force easily, for fear that Yingge Khan's sons would suddenly unite against the outside world. At that time, the court army might suffer heavy losses. Therefore, Fatty Ju simply agreed to Dzungar's proposal for a truce.

However, Jiang Xinxin suggested that a truce should not be agreed to easily. Junggar must pay a sufficient price, and at least Junggar must not be able to start a war within five years.

Although Big Fat Orange thought that this was just women's talk, the national treasury was empty. If the chips offered by Junggar were really good, he really thought that this matter could be done.

Of course, military and national affairs can only be discussed in the previous dynasty. However, since Big Fat Orange has the idea of ​​making Junggar pay compensation, the court officials will of course try their best to promote it. Previously, Junggar's old Yingge Khan wanted to test the Qing Dynasty through the issue of marriage, and now this trick can still be used.

But the attitude of the Qing Dynasty will only become tougher. It is not like before, when it would drag the royal family and the civil and military officials of the court to join in the show.

The person sent by Dzungar was Moge, the weakest son of Yingge Khan. This guy was only in his early thirties, but according to the latest news from the front line, Moge was the most likely person to take the position, so the Qing Dynasty had no intention of letting the tiger go back to the mountains.

But since Moge dared to lead envoys to visit the Qing Dynasty in person when the ownership of the Dzungar Khanate was unclear, it showed that he must have made full preparations. Therefore, all parties in the court acted quickly and made more than one preparation.

Jiang Xinxin didn't have any opinion. Anyway, although Moge had proposed marriage this time, Big Fat Orange had already rejected it in a stern manner.

But Concubine Chen could never feel at ease, because her daughter was the princess of the late emperor and the most suitable candidate for marriage except for the princesses of Big Fatty Orange.

Jiang Xinxin knew that no matter how many nice words she said, it would be useless, so she took out a list and handed it to Concubine Chen. "The Queen Mother's mourning period is only half a year now. These are the wishes of this palace as the eldest sister-in-law. Concubine Chen, why don't you discuss it with the princess before making a decision."

When Lady Chen took it and looked at it, she realized that the nearly two-inch long list was filled with young talents from the capital. She finally put her worries aside, stood up and thanked him again and again.

Jiang Xinxin winked and asked Jianqiu to help Concubine Chen up. Jianqiu advised Concubine Chen, "Concubine Chen, please don't delay the princess's good things here. Some things must be put in place before they are too late."

This is exactly the reason. Concubine Chen thanked again and quickly took the things and went back.

Due to the mourning period for the Empress Dowager, the concubines also returned from Changchun Garden, and Dapangju did not leave the palace to go to the Old Summer Palace. However, Dapangju's private treasury was very rich. Even though this summer was a bit hot, there was no shortage of ice basins everywhere in the palace.

Concubine Chen took Jiang Xinxin's information back and went to find Princess Chaogui. When Princess Chaogui saw that they were all young talents from the upper three banners, she knew that Jiang Xinxin was sincerely considering her, so she quickly said to Concubine Chen: "Pick out the children of the Guaerjia clan and the Fucha clan. We can't choose them."

Concubine Chen also reacted and quickly agreed: "Yes, both Concubine Shun and Concubine Qi in the palace have princes, and the Queen's child died in infancy. Even if in the future..., now we can't stand in a position that is unfavorable to the Queen."

"And no one from the Ulanara clan can be chosen. The queen herself said that she doesn't like the Ulanara clan."

Princess Chaogui also nodded repeatedly, and the remaining ones were the Gioro, Nara, Majia, Suolunzhuo, Niuhulu, Tonggiya and Dong'e families.

After this selection, most of the candidates were eliminated. Princess Chao Gui wanted to choose a family with a less complicated situation, and most importantly, one without two mothers-in-law. As for whether the husband was ambitious or not, since the queen could give it, she would definitely not include candidates who were not so outstanding.
