Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Because Niu Hulu Yunshu lost her mother when she was young, fortunately her father and mother had a very close relationship and he loved her very much as his legitimate daughter.

The current second wife also came from a prominent family, the Ma Jia clan. Although she was a bit strict and rigid, she was not bad to Niu Hulu Yunshu.

Of course it's not much better.

After all, she has her own biological daughter, and she is only being nice to the daughter left by her predecessor out of courtesy.

Fortunately, no one had any bad intentions, so everyone lived in peace.

When Niu Hulu Yunshu was chosen as the wife of the twelfth prince, Ma Jia felt a little regretful.

I should have been nicer to Niu Hulu and Yun Shu earlier. But then I thought that forcing someone to please me might not be a good idea. Wouldn't it be better to just live in peace?

Niu Hulu Yunshu also took this matter seriously. What she feared most was Ma Jia's sudden enthusiasm.

Fortunately, there was no special change in Ma Jia's attitude and she remained as cold as ever.

Niu Hulu and Qi Jia have been smiling every day since the imperial decree granting them marriage was issued.

He looks rather plump and when he smiles he looks like Maitreya Buddha.

But if you underestimate him because of this, you will suffer a great loss.

As the Minister of Rites, he is a real smiling tiger who will sell you out and force you to count money for him.

Seeing that he had become the father-in-law of the twelfth prince, and even the future father-in-law of the emperor was just around the corner, Niu Hulu Qijia's face was almost split with smiles these days.

Niu Hulu Yunshu still lives the same life as before, staying at home every day except for taking a walk after dinner.

I turned down all the invitations that came with arranged marriages.

The main focus is on a home.

Few people know about her social phobia. What the Twelfth Concubine brought to her was not vanity, but potential pressure.

Those who were originally lukewarm suddenly became enthusiastic and started calling her sisters. Niu Hulu Yunshu really couldn't accept it.

But she knew it was something she had to overcome and get used to.

"Miss."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Niu Hulu Yunshu's voice was like his mother's, the typical gentle type of the Jiangnan water town.

Speaking of which, the love story between Niu Hulu Yunshu's mother and father was also quite interesting.

This can be seen from the fact that Niu Hulu Qijia married an ordinary Han girl as his wife.

You should know that Niuhuru Qijia was born into the Niuhuru clan, one of the eight major Manchu clans, and Niuhuru Qijia was not a collateral relative.

At that time, his father was the patriarch of the Niuhuru clan. According to common sense, he should have married a Manchu noblewoman of equal status, but the reality was completely the opposite.

Niu Hulu Qijia did not rely on the protection of his ancestors to live a life of idleness and waiting for death. Instead, he relied on his own ability to pass the imperial examination and became a second-class Jinshi. He was then sent to the wealthy area of ​​Jiangnan to serve as a county magistrate and was promoted all the way.

During this process, Niu Hulu Qijia met Niu Hulu Yunshu's mother Yunying.

Yunying is a washerwoman, and she is very pretty.

Niu Hulu Qi Jia and Yun Ying fell in love at first sight, and fell in love with each other again. Despite his family's opposition, he insisted on marrying Yun Ying as his wife.

Niu Hulu Qijia was almost abandoned by his family at that time, but he managed to sit on the position of Minister of Rites entirely through his own efforts.

Now, times have changed and the unpleasantness of the past has gradually faded away. As both sides are willing to make friends, Niuhuru Qijia has started to interact with the Niuhuru clan again.

Later, Yunying died of complications during childbirth, leaving behind Niu Hulu Yunshu. Niu Hulu Qi Jia was heartbroken, but as a grown man, he really couldn't take good care of Niu Hulu Yunshu.

At Niohuru's request, three years later Niohuru Qijian took Majia as his second wife, and she gave birth to a daughter, Niohuru Zhaolan, who was five years younger than Niohuru Yunshu.

Therefore, Niu Hulu Yunshu had a pessimistic view on love and marriage. Her father, who prided himself on being affectionate, transcended class restrictions and married the daughter of a poor family.

But life is often imperfect. After she died of childbirth complications, Niu Hulu Qijia still married someone else.

This is what a man is!

But Niu Hulu Yunshu did not blame Niu Hulu Qi Jia. After all, in the eyes of the world, Niu Hulu Qi Jia had already achieved the word "affectionate".

Just from her name, you can tell that Niu Hulu Qijia really loves her mother.

Now that she has married into the royal family, it is even more of a joke for them to be together for the rest of their lives. Fortunately, Niu Hulu is someone who takes things as they come, to put it nicely, or someone who has a bad temper, to put it bluntly.

As long as she can save face, she will be a good and virtuous wife, or even a good and virtuous queen in the future.

"The master wants you to go to the front hall."

"understood."

Niu Hulu Yunshu slowly put down the sachet in her hand and walked towards the front hall.

Before I reached the door, I heard Niu Hulu Qijia's hearty laughter.

"The twelfth prince is truly a young talent!"

Niu Hulu Yunshu paused. She didn't have a deep impression of the Twelfth Prince. She had only met him once some time ago.

But he is her future husband.

Forcing himself to suppress the strange feeling in his heart, Niu Hulu Yunshu walked towards the front hall.

"You're too kind." Yongqi smiled faintly.

He came here today specifically to find an excuse to meet his fiancée.

Well, actually it’s just giving yourself a break.

By the way, you can also make an appointment and keep in touch with each other.

Originally, Qianlong did not approve it, but the Empress pushed it back.

Now, Qianlong still listens to the Queen in some small matters, and the relationship between the Emperor and the Queen is getting better and better.

Of course, Qianlong still accused Yongqi of just finding an excuse to be lazy.

But no one paid attention, so Qianlong had to approve it reluctantly.

Yongqi came to the Shangshu Mansion happily.

Niu Hulu Qi Jianeng was able to hold this position at such a young age without relying on his family, which shows that he has some abilities.

With Niu Hulu Qijia's subtle approach, Yongqi's impression of this Shangshu improved a little.

But now his mind was on Niu Hulu Yunshu who had not arrived yet.

In fact, it's natural for the young man to not be curious about Mu Ai. He Xi once said that feelings are built by getting along with each other.

As the royal family, marriage is destined not to be something they can do as they please, so they should just cultivate their relationship, as long as the other person is not a vicious person.

As soon as Niu Hulu Yunshu entered the front hall, the first person he saw was the handsome Yongqi.

The Queen was known as the most beautiful woman among the Manchus, and Qianlong was not ugly in appearance either.

Yongqi's appearance was naturally not bad, and his aura made the Buddhist Niu Hulu Yunshu blush and his heart beat fast.

Niu Hulu Yunshu subconsciously shifted his gaze away, greeted Yong Ji and Niu Hulu Qijia politely, and then moved behind Niu Hulu Qijia.

Niu Hulu Qijia's eyes were full of comfort. My daughter has grown up. Looking at the pitiful little daughter back then, now she has grown into a graceful young lady.

Niu Hulu Qijia's heart was filled with emotion.

Yunying, I finally lived up to your trust. Our daughter has grown up well and will definitely live a good life in the future.
