Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Chapter 277: Past Events at Prince Xian’s Mansion

Today's Prince Xian Aisin-Gioro Yanhuang is the great-grandson of Prince Suwu Haoge, grandson of Prince Xianyi Fushou, and son of Prince Xianmi Danzhen.

Yanhuang inherited the title of Heshuo Xian Prince in the 41st year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi.

She was born in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, the same year as her fourth sister, Guaerjia Wanqiong.

Wanyu thought about it and realized that in terms of blood relationship, he and Mama were both from the Haoge branch, so he could indeed be considered Mama's great-nephew.

Moreover, not many of Hauge's children grew up, and Mama was the highest-ranking princess among his daughters. Moreover, the brothers who inherited Ama's titles of prince and county prince all died at a young age.

Even among his nephews and great-nephews, only a few have grown up to adulthood.

Therefore, it is understandable that Mama has a high status in the Hauge branch and has a certain say.

"But how is it related to Guo Luo's mother?"

Wanyu looked at the two old ladies who were smiling at each other in confusion.

When the old lady Guaerjia heard her granddaughter's curiosity, she talked for a while and then told her the past.

"You are young and don't know, but when my father was still alive, the wife chosen for my fourth brother (Prince Xianyi Fushou) was a Chahar Borjigit from the Chahar Borjigit clan, chosen by my mother."

"My fourth sister-in-law is the daughter of Heshuo Prince Erke Kongoluo Ezhe, and her status is also extremely noble."

"In addition to the principal wife, the principal mother also selected a concubine for Fourth Brother. This concubine is from the Shaji Fucha clan."

"My fourth sister-in-law didn't give my fourth brother any children to inherit his title. However, Dan Zhen, born to that younger fourth sister-in-law, eventually inherited my fourth brother's title of Xianqin Prince."

"Later, when my nephew Danzhen came of age, my fourth sister-in-law married him to the daughter of Admiral Li Huba, with Li Jia as his first wife."

The old lady sighed and said, "Speaking of which, this is also a bad debt of the palace."

"Although my nephew didn't favor his concubine over his wife, Li Jia was certainly not favored in the backyard, and she couldn't stand up on her own, so she didn't have any children."

"Even Dan Zhen was extremely fond of a princess named Xia Jia who came from the Han army banner."

"That woman was also scheming. She was originally just a concubine in the backyard, but later gave birth to several good children and was promoted from concubine to concubine."

"Later, lust took over, and he not only oppressed the other concubines but also showed disrespect to the mistress."

"Later, they set their sights on the position of concubine and Dan Zhen's title of prince, causing chaos in the palace's backyard."

"What will my little sister-in-law do when she sees this?"

"Seeing that my son has been married for many years but has few children, and is particularly fond of a princess from the Han army banner, Xia Jia, my daughter-in-law can neither win his heart nor manage his backyard properly."

"So he directly married his niece, Xiao Fucha, into the palace's backyard as a concubine."

"Little Fucha gave birth to two sons under the protection of her mother-in-law and aunt."

"The eldest son was Fu Shou's third son. He died at the age of seven due to a secret affair in the harem."

"The second son is Fu Shou's sixth son, who is now the Heshuo Xian Prince Aisin-Gioro Yanhuang."

After hearing the gossip and inside stories about Prince Xian's generations, everyone felt a little sad, but this was a common thing in a big family and they didn't find it strange.

Wanyu nodded in understanding.

No wonder there is also the story of Guo Luo’s mother.

Dan Zhen's mother and maternal grandmother are both from the Shaji Fucha clan.

Wanyu asked, "Does the wife of Prince Xian agree to this?"

Old Madam Fucha smiled kindly and said, "With your Mama and I here, this will of course be possible."

"Your mama asked me to be the matchmaker and pass the message between them."

Old Lady Guaerjia continued, "However, the lineage of Prince Xian has not had many descendants since my fourth brother's generation."

"So Danzhen's mother and mama both hope that the two children can get married soon."

"I've already agreed to this. Once Yan Huang submits a petition to His Majesty for approval, the election will be over today, and the weddings of our two children will be arranged in the second half of the year."

Wanyu was surprised: "So anxious?"

Old Lady Guarjia nodded.

"My niece-in-law also wants them to get married soon, cultivate their relationship early, and give her more legitimate sons and daughters in the future."

Wanyu's expression was slightly stiff.

He is the same age as my fourth sister, born in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign, but his actual age is less than 15 years old!

But now men and women get married early, so she didn't say much.

Anyway, she had already reminded her family that it would be bad for both a woman and the child if she gave birth too early, so they should have known this.

Originally, Wanyu thought that the main purpose was to bring up this matter, but unexpectedly, her second step-aunt Dai Jia suddenly spoke with a nervous look on her face.

"Her Majesty the Crown Princess~"

My second aunt Wanyan died a few years after giving birth to my cousin Unaxi.

Today, Dai Jia is the second wife of my second uncle Ma Qi.

Although she had given birth to a son for Ma Qi, the child died young, and she has not been pregnant yet.

Therefore, Dai Jia felt that she had not yet established a firm foothold in the Fucha family, and she was very humble and cautious in her daily life. Not only did she serve her mother-in-law and husband wholeheartedly, she also did not dare to interfere too much with her husband's children and grandchildren.

So the Fucha family is relatively stable now.

Seeing her second aunt speak, Wanyu smiled gently and said, "Second aunt, do you have anything to say?"

Dai Jia first stood up, tightly holding the handkerchief in her hand, bowed to Wanyu, and then stood up and sat back down at Wanyu's signal.

Then he continued talking with some restlessness.

"I am here to bring a message for the Second Master."

Wanyu smiled and nodded, "Second uncle, do you have anything to tell your niece?"

Dai Jia suppressed her inner anxiety and said, "My family...Fu Qing's wife cannot enter the palace..."

When Mrs. Fucha saw her second daughter-in-law like this, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She knew what Dai Jia was going to say.

Originally, the second son wanted her to tell her granddaughter, but she thought that her second daughter-in-law would sooner or later take over the responsibility of the backyard of the second son's family, so she asked her to practice and she told the matter to the Crown Princess herself.

After all, they are all family, and with her around, she doesn't have to worry about offending anyone even if she performs poorly.

But who knew that Dai Jia was so timid.

So she smiled and took over Dai Jiashi's words, and said to Wanyu, "Let me speak."

"Concubine Mu has her eyes on the second eldest son, Fu Tai'an, the eldest son of the Crown Princess's third cousin, Fu Qing."

There were too many cousins ​​and nephews in the family, and Wanyu took a while to find Fu Taian.

(Orange checked and found that several of Li Rongbao's grandchildren were named Fuxan, so I took it as a given that this is the custom for naming grandchildren of this generation.)

Wanyu asked, "Fu Tai'an was born in the 34th year of the Kangxi reign, right?"

Old Madam Fucha smiled and said, "Yes, she is two years older than Ningchu Gegege."

Wanyu continued to ask, "What does Fu Tai'an think? Does Prince Yong know?"

Old Madam Fucha nodded amusedly, a playful glint in her eyes.

"After Fu Tai'an learned that Prince Yong's Mansion intended to select a prince consort for Ning Chu Gege from within the family, he became the most proactive."

"Not only did you take the initiative to find your second uncle, but you also came to me for help."

"Moreover, that brat said that if Princess Ningchu was willing to marry him, he would follow the example of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his cousin the Crown Princess and never take a concubine."

Hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly.

The friendship between young people is so passionate.
