The Empress of the Qing Dynasty is from the Northeast

Because of the prince's matter, this year's New Year was also hastily celebrated. When attending the New Year banquet in the palace, Yinzhen felt that the forced smiles on everyone's faces were so clear.

Especially Old Thirteen, who drank one glass after another.

The emperor's decree has been issued, and the thirteenth princess is to be named Princess Heshuo Wenke and will go to Mongolia in August next year. Her husband is Cangjin, the Duke of Duling of the Wengniud tribe.

He was depressed, but helpless. In front of the imperial power, he realized how insignificant he was.

Fortunately, his fourth brother interceded for him, and the emperor allowed him to marry with Yinzhen. After meeting his father-in-law in person, Thirteen felt a little relieved.

And Yinzhen has been staying at home obediently recently to avoid the limelight.

Mengguqing prepared himself mentally for several days before coming to the front yard.

When he heard the announcement, Yinzhen was stunned for a moment.

He and Mengguqing were really not familiar with each other.

Although Mengguqing had been married to him for more than three years, during this period of time, the two of them had only spoken a few words to each other.

I guess she really has something going on.

Yinzhen put down the book and told Su Peisheng: "Go make tea and ask her to come in."

When Mengguqing came, she looked at him eagerly with an expression that said "I have something important to do".

Yinzhen understood what was happening, so he served tea and asked Su Peisheng and his men to leave.

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Fourth Prince, I want to divorce you."

"What?!" Yinzhen almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He looked at Mengguqing in disbelief. Seeing that her expression did not seem fake, his heart gradually sank.

His tone was bad, and he directly rebuked: "What are you making a fuss about? It was you who personally asked the Emperor for the marriage! How can you divorce if the Emperor has granted you a marriage? Where do you put the reputation of the Emperor, my father, and the Qing Dynasty?"

Mengguqing knew that he would be furious, but she was determined to leave, so her expression was gentle.

"Fourth Prince, please agree to my request. This harem is not suitable for me at all. I was stubborn and thoughtless at the beginning. Now I just want to return to the grassland and govern Ujumchin with my Abu."

"It's getting cold now, and many cattle and sheep have frozen to death on the grassland. In addition, Abu and I have been dealing with the problem of keeping the herders warm. This year's weather is different from the past, and I am worried about it."

After saying this, he added another sentence for fear that Yinzhen would be angry.

"Don't worry, even if I return to the grassland, Ujumchin will still be your helper and will continue to support you."

Yinzhen was almost laughing at her: "You are a concubine canonized by the imperial decree and recorded in the Jade Book. You are a Qing citizen in life and a Qing ghost in death. No matter what happens, divorce is absolutely impossible."

Mengguqing was also a little angry: "I didn't sell it to your Qing Dynasty. In our Wuzhumuqin, there are many divorces and remarriages. Why should I stay here for the rest of my life?"

"You also said that it was a grassland. Mengguqing, you always think so simply. What do you think the marriage between Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty represents? This is not a joke. You can marry if you want and leave if you want. Do you completely ignore the harmony between Ujumchin and the Qing Dynasty? Or do you want to rebel in Ujumchin? You will never need the help of the Qing Dynasty?"

Yinzhen's series of questions left Mengguqing speechless. Was there no other solution? She had not expected that her marriage would represent the connection between Wuzhumuqin and the Qing Dynasty. If she divorced, it would only make people speculate about Wuzhumuqin's loyalty.

What's more, Kangxi would not allow anyone to challenge his authority like this.

But Mengguqing still refused to give up: "Then I want to go back and discuss it with my Abu in person, is that okay? I know you are going to the grassland to marry Princess Heshuo Wenke in August this year."

Yinzhen looked serious and said nothing more, just nodded.

Mengguqing breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had not yet achieved her goal, as long as she could see Abu, he would definitely find a way to get her back to the grassland.

As long as she could go back, she would never leave again and would take good care of Abu and Ujumchin.

In the evening, Yinzhen returned to Qingzhiyuan. He first went to see Tuantuan who was feeding his kittens. The three kittens were vying for milk. Each of them was very lively and energetic, which made people happy to see.

Yinzhen felt sorry for Tuantuan who had just given birth to a child, and specifically instructed Yuzhu and Xiaokangzi to feed her more meat and make her some more warm clothes, and the red charcoal was kept burning.

After taking care of the cat, Yinzhen went into the house. Changning was eating Yuanxiao with a white porcelain bowl. When she saw him come in, she asked with a smile if he wanted a bowl too.

It was snowing hard outside, and a bowl of hot and sweet Yuanxiao was just right. Yinzhen nodded.

"Have you just visited Tuantuan? How is she?"

Yinzhen tasted one from Changning's hand. It was white, plump and sticky, with black sesame filling.

"They are in good spirits, and the three little ones are also healthy. Don't worry, taking good care of yourself is better than anything else. Have you not vomited recently? The palace has just received a batch of tribute grapes. I thought you would like to eat them, so I asked for some more. Try them later, they are quite sweet."

Changning was quite happy that Yinzhen cared about her.

"I've been feeling much better lately, but I always feel bored. It's snowing so hard outside that I dare not go out. Feng Sheng'e and Fei Yang'a also don't let them come back to avoid them falling."

When Yinzhen heard that she had nothing to do, he felt a little distressed. It was always snowing outside and the weather was gloomy. When she was bored, it was hard for her to be in a good mood.

"Why don't you call Hutuli over to cheer you up? Let him play cards with you."

Chang Ning smiled: "Hutuli has been working hard recently, saying that he wants to memorize the entire "The Pavilion of the Drunken Old Man"."

Yinzhen was very happy to hear that his daughter was so eager to study. Which parent doesn't want their children to do well?

"Two days ago, I told Hutuli about the poem 'Ode to Snow', and she said she wanted to be a talented woman like Xie Daoyuan." Changning was a little proud. If this happened in modern times, her child would have learned such difficult classical Chinese before entering elementary school, and would be regarded as a child prodigy. He would definitely be a good seedling for Tsinghua University or Peking University!

However, there is no Tsinghua or Peking University now, but the highest institution of learning in the country is our own!

Yinzhen was also thinking that Hutuli now occasionally goes to the front yard, and he is the one who takes care of her lessons. The weather is bad now, so Yaoxian is taking care of her homework.

However, every Manchu girl's family must have a nanny to teach her etiquette.

Yaoxian had said before that the child was still young and was afraid that etiquette would restrict his nature.

But now Hutuli is almost six years old, and it's time to find a nanny. Let Su Peisheng do it.

However, there is something more important now.

"Why is your belly getting bigger and bigger?" Yinzhen pondered as he looked at Changning's belly, which was obviously much bigger than the last time. With the experience of Hutuli and Fengsheng'e, he couldn't help but ask, "Is it twins again?"
