Chapter 268 Fei Yanggu is an old tsundere
Fei Yanggu: "Divide the family? No, no, I'm not dead yet, how can I bring up the idea of dividing the family?"
Burhe, standing by, refused to back down and argued forcefully, "Why not? Father, you're not some supremely noble, unattainable person. Even many of the royal princes, when they reach a certain age, leave the palace and build their own residences to live independently. How can a mere Ulanara family be compared to the royal family, or be more noble than them?"
Faced with Bull's sharp words, Fei Yanggu suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat, and he was choked and couldn't say a word for a long time. After a moment of silence, he finally said: "No, in short, this is absolutely impossible!"
However, Buerhe clearly had no intention of giving up, and immediately said, "In that case, why not just send Fourth Brother away to live on his own? He's often away on the battlefield anyway, and rarely comes home. Then, let him take Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law with him, so he doesn't have to worry about them."
Upon hearing this, Fei Yanggu's face changed drastically. He waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "How can we do that? If we separate your fourth brother, how will others view him? How will they comment on him? Moreover, letting your fourth sister-in-law, a weak woman, go with the army and expose herself to the sword and the shadow of the sword is so dangerous! Absolutely not, absolutely not!"
At this moment, Fei Yanggu's head was shaking like a rattle, and all the hundred disagreements in his heart were about to overflow.
At this moment, Buerhe raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile, "So, Father has actually already agreed that the woman should be my fourth sister-in-law, but he has just been holding back and refusing to agree, right?"
Fei Yanggu finally realized what he had just said, as if waking from a dream. His face instantly stiffened, and a faint blush crept onto his cheeks. He opened and closed his mouth, but could only stammer and mumble, "Uh... well, it's not like that!"
Seeing this, Buerhe, who was standing by, rolled his eyes at his father angrily and said, "Oh, father, stop dithering and hiding things! Just tell me straight, will this marriage be successful?
"As for me, Fourth Brother has already chosen this woman. If she's a good person, I naturally won't object. Besides, you know Mama before she died. She specifically told me that I will be in charge of Fourth Brother's affairs from now on. Even if you, as his father, have objections, it's useless!"
Bull and Pilipala spilled all their thoughts like spilling beans. In fact, she already knew the final outcome of this matter.
Ever since she started intervening in this matter, everything seemed to be under control, and success was almost certain. However, the reason she had come to talk to her father was simply to ask him to persuade her mother.
After all, although they could completely disregard their mother's feelings, such a happy event would surely be a happy and complete success if they could get the full support of both parents! As the fourth brother's sister, Buerhe of course sincerely hoped that the fourth brother could have such perfect happiness.
Now that Buerhe had said so much, what could Fei Yanggu do? Even if he had other ideas in his mind, he could only nod in agreement helplessly.
However, Bu Erhe had no intention of making things difficult for her old father without compensating him. The next day after returning to Shoukang Garden, she sent someone to the Ulanara Mansion to deliver a fine bow and arrow, and specifically pointed out that this was a gift specifically for Fei Yanggu.
Hey! Look! Just this one thing has produced immediate results! Fei Yanggu, who had been somewhat reluctant at first, saw this exquisite bow and his eyes lit up, his face beaming with joy. It was as if he had been instantly energized. He ignored Buerhe's urging and rushed to discuss the matter with Jueluo that evening. With his clever words, he successfully persuaded Jueluo to agree to the marriage.
Not only that, Fei Yanggu even enthusiastically discussed the specific details of the engagement with Wu Ge. As for the matter of dividing the family that was mentioned earlier, it had long been forgotten by him, as if Bull and he had just said it casually and he didn't take it to heart at all.
When Buerhe heard the news, she was truly at a loss for words. She thought to herself, "Oh, my father, he's getting more and more difficult the older he gets! He clearly agreed in his heart, but he had to be so awkward, wasting so much time. In the end, he only agreed to it after I gave him a way out."
If everything could continue smoothly, it would naturally be a cause for great joy. Buerhe had already packed up the carefully prepared gifts and sent them back to the Ulanara household. Now, all they had to do was wait for the Emperor's mourning period to be successfully concluded, and then they could happily attend their brother's wedding.
After dealing with these affairs outside the palace, the next important task that Buerhe faced was to find suitable marriage partners for his fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth brothers.
Although Yinreng had issued an edict requiring three full years of mourning for the retired emperor, for other princes, they only needed to mourn for one year, and then matters such as marriage, funerals, and childbirth could proceed as usual.
These three younger brothers are not young anymore, but because Concubine Mi and Concubine Qin have lived in the palace for a long time, they rarely have the opportunity to meet people from the outside world, and they don’t have any relatives to rely on in the capital.
Even if they wanted to find wives for the princes, they had no idea where to start! Because of this, this important matter ultimately had to be handled by Buerhe.
That said, canceling the selection wasn't without its benefits. After all, in the short month of the palace, some people would often choose to disguise themselves or endure for a while, making it very easy for many people's true identities to be concealed. However, since the selection was no longer held, various news about the princesses had become easier to obtain and learn.
In just a few days, Buerhe selected several candidates from the ladies in the capital, including the princess from the Niuhulu family, the princess from the Guoluo family (not from the same branch as the Eighth Concubine Guoluo), the Nara princess, the Majia princess, and the Xitala princess.
After careful consideration and consultation with Yinreng, Buerhe chose Nianhulu for the fifteenth prince, Guoluo for the sixteenth prince, and Nara for the seventeenth prince.
After reviewing the list and information with Concubine Mi and Concubine Qin, Yinreng directly issued an edict to grant the marriage, and at the same time conferred the title of Beizi on his three younger brothers, and waited for the marriage to be completed and the establishment of a household to take place a year later.
