Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan
Chapter 101 Conversation and Engagement
The Khalkha Prince didn't know either, but when he saw the Fourth Princess' bright and lively eyes, he felt that such a pearl should not be covered by the wind and sand of the grassland.
"Princess, you are a precious girl, you really shouldn't go to the grassland with me to suffer," said the Khalkha Prince sincerely.
The fourth princess sighed helplessly. If he was a smart person, she would have been ruthless enough to take advantage of him.
"Dundubu Dorji, you should know that the marriages of children in the world are not decided by themselves, especially for families like ours."
The Khalkha Prince seems to be a little lovesick, but the Fourth Princess is very clear-headed.
The Khalkha Prince fell silent. He understood what the Fourth Princess meant. In order to unite the Mongolian tribes in northern Mobei, even if the Fourth Princess did not marry him, she would be married to another tribe and taken home.
"Princess, you should know what life is like on the grassland. If you marry to Khalkha, many of the things you are used to in the palace may not be usable."
The Khalkha Prince spoke of the situation the Fourth Princess might face after the marriage.
The fourth princess smiled indifferently. "Dundubu Dorji, I don't want to marry you just because I like you. Similarly, even if I have to live in poverty, I will take root in Khalkha and become the link between the Qing Dynasty and the Mobei grassland. This is my mission and my mission."
The Khalkha Prince looked at the Fourth Princess again and had a different understanding.
He originally thought that the Fourth Princess was a delicate porcelain doll, just like her luxurious clothes. But it was obvious that the Fourth Princess was not. And after all, how could a person who could hunt tigers be a porcelain doll?
"Princess, can the Tushetu Khanate win your favor?" The Khalkha Prince didn't want to beat around the bush.
The fourth princess smiled brightly and stated her conditions.
"Dundubu Dorji, I will not be a dodder that depends on men to live. I want to be an oak tree that stands tall and proud. Do you understand my ambition?"
The Khalkha Prince was not surprising. The population on the grassland was sparse, and both men and women had to work, so capable women could also gain a say.
"If the princess is capable, I am willing to share power with her."
Although the Khalkha Prince likes the Fourth Princess, he has his own bottom line. He cannot allow the Fourth Princess to act recklessly and disregard the lives of his people.
The fourth princess was not satisfied with this answer. "Dundubu Dorji, I will prove my ability to you in due time, but I am an ambitious woman. I want my name to be known throughout Mongolia, rather than just being a good wife who helps you and leaves your name in everyone's heart."
This was beyond the Khalkha Prince's imagination, so he remained silent.
The fourth princess was a little disappointed. Is it really impossible? How can a man allow a woman to be ambitious? However, it doesn't matter if the Khalkha Prince doesn't agree. It just makes her start a little more difficult.
The fourth princess no longer had the heart to continue riding the horse. She used the reins to command the horse to turn around and go back.
The fourth princess's action startled the Khalkha prince, who hurriedly tried to stop her from leaving.
"Princess, I don't mind that you are better than me and more suitable to manage the Tushetu Khanate than me."
The fourth princess turned around, her eyes burning, and asked the Khalkha prince: "Dundubu Dorji, do you know what you are saying? I am not a girl you can fool with sweet words."
The Khalkha prince was relieved after he announced his decision. He asked, "Princess, if you were to marry into the Tushetu Khanate, what would you do to win the trust of the people?"
The fourth princess studied the problem day and night, and also asked the ninth prince to ask the teacher in the study.
She answered confidently: "If the war has not stopped when I marry, I will comfort the people, prepare food and supplies for the soldiers on the front line, and maintain contact with the Qing Dynasty and contact other tribes in the Mobei grassland to prevent the tragedy of a few years ago from happening again.
If I marry there, the war will have stopped, we have won the victory, and the tribe needs to recuperate and heal the scars of war. I will use the technology and seeds I bring to help my people raise more cattle and sheep and live a better life.
As long as I can make sure the people in the tribe have good food and warm clothes, the people in the tribe will naturally trust me, the tribe will grow stronger without any supervision, and other tribes will naturally come to rely on me. "
After the fourth princess finished speaking, she waited for the response from the Khalkha Prince.
The Khalkha prince was in high spirits and said, "Princess, you have such great ambitions. In less than ten years, everyone on the grassland will know your name!"
The fourth princess smiled as if it was natural. "Of course, I am naturally ambitious! So, Dunduobu Dorji, what is your answer?"
Dunduobuduoerji's answer was: "Princess, I can't let other tribes ask to marry you, otherwise it would be aiding the enemy, right?"
The fourth princess looked at Dunduobuduoerji's serious eyes and suddenly felt a lump in her throat. Even her beloved wives did not understand her ambition and thought that she would suffer if she married in Mongolia. She was not afraid of suffering, but she was afraid that she would not get what she wanted even if she suffered.
But this little bit of emotion could not shake the Fourth Princess's heart. She would get along well with Dundubdorji, provided that he would not do anything that would harm her interests.
So, she extended her hand and said, "Let's make a deal. If you break your promise, I will make you pay the price!"
The Khalkha Prince patted the Fourth Princess's hand and said, "As long as Princess can do this, Dunduobu Dorji will not change his mind."
The two young people reached an agreement and started the normal love behavior of young people - galloping on horseback.
It was not until the people following them reminded them that it was getting late that they reluctantly ended their trip.
Since the decision had been made, the Fourth Princess did not want to delay at all and went straight to find Kangxi.
Kangxi was no longer as impatient with the Fourth Princess as he was last time. After all, the Fourth Princess had behaved very well in the past ten days or so, and was being admired by the Mongolian ministers with envy. How could Kangxi be unhappy?
When the fourth princess entered the room, she said directly without any hesitation: "Father, my daughter has chosen her husband, the Khalkha Prince!"
Hearing these words, Kangxi choked on the tea that was put into his mouth.
When he calmed down, he said, "Are you sure?"
The fourth princess wanted to maximize her own interests, so she said affectionately: "Father, Galdan has become restless again. If I get engaged to the Tushetu Khanate now, it will be beneficial to our future actions. I am not talented, so I can only do this to share your worries."
Kangxi was moved by the words of the fourth princess, so he gave her countless dowries with a stroke of his pen, and ordered people to build a princess palace on the Khalkha grassland. The missing precious building materials came from Kangxi's inner treasury.
He also issued an oral order and made an agreement with the Khalkha Prince that when the war with Galdan was settled, the fourth princess would get married.
Yes, Kangxi did not plan to issue an edict now. Guns and swords on the battlefield are merciless. If the Khalkha Prince was unlucky and died on the battlefield, he could not let his daughter become a widow!
Moreover, this is just a carrot hanging in front of the donkey. If you want to marry the fourth princess, you have to deal with Galdan first.
The Khalkha Prince had anticipated this, and he excitedly accepted the order, eager to fly back to the tribe immediately to train his men for battle. Moreover, his father died because of Galdan, and he would not be a son if he did not avenge such a great vengeance!
