Road to Shunzhi

In the first month of the 33rd year of Shunzhi, the emperor decreed to marry Princess Gulun Ruyi to Nalan Xingde, and then in February, he added Mingzhu as a bachelor and Nalan Xingde as a first-class bodyguard. Back posture.Nalan Xingde has been insane from the moment he received the order, wishing he could go to the Ministry of Industry to urge them to quickly build the princess mansion.That stupid look made Mingzhu unable to look directly at her.At the same time, the emperor's prospective son-in-law had to undergo various tests from his prospective father-in-law.The first-class guards had to follow the emperor. Nalan Xingde was tortured by the workaholic emperor. The welfare was that he could see the princess from time to time, which was painful and happy.

Coral is the one who is most dissatisfied with this marriage.The emperor's repeated arrogance and indulgence, her heart is already wild.Ever since she reached the age of Ji, in order to cultivate her girlish temperament and teach her the ability to manage the house, the Queen Mother and the Empress did not tell her anything about court affairs and interviews with wives, which made her see a strange world.

A woman has to do housework, respect her elders, support the younger generation, serve her husband well, take good care of her husband's concubines, concubines and children, and don't forget to socialize and be a good housemate.It was too complicated. After listening to it for a few days, Coral felt that circles were popping up in front of her eyes, and she couldn't understand it at all.

No wonder.Fulin simply raised her as his son. He could study when he wanted to, ride a horse when he wanted to, and go out to play when he wanted to. There was no restriction at all.Coupled with the fact that she has dealt with people of all colors in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Shan Shan's vision is completely different from that of a housewife.What's more, she has a high status, and no one dares to offend her. Even if there are one or two offenders occasionally, her force value and status are simply crushing, and it does not pose any trouble to her at all.

However, now she is also referring to marriage, that is to say, she will also become that kind of strange woman, who devotes herself to the three-acre land in the backyard, strives to have a son, and gives virtuous care to her husband when she is pregnant. Arranging for people in the house?

Stop it.She didn't want to live a day like that.

Although coral is willful, it is also measured.She understood that the emperor kept his promises, and things would not change if he gave his will, so she didn't go to her own emperor Ama to complain, but she was a little bored, not as lively as before, and she ate less food.

Inna regards this situation as "premarital syndrome", and begins to teach her earnestly, but it backfires.Renna has been educated since she was a child to take care of everything in the family for men. Marrying her cousin is already a surprise for her. She has long been prepared for the emperor to have 72 concubines in the Sangong and Six Courtyards. As a result, her cousin's harem There are only six people in total, and the six together are not as favored as myself.Moreover, she has a son and a daughter, the son is the prince, the daughter is the most honorable Princess Gulun, and the mother-in-law is the aunt. Everything is so perfect. Ren Na only has gratitude in her heart. Bring some out.

In this way, the coral is even more melancholy.In her eyes, her own Emma is naturally the best man in the world, and this best man will inevitably sleep with other women and have children with other women. Er Niang is only in charge of the harem, and cannot go out for a walk. Aren't other men even worse?

Coral is a typical character of a strong woman. When she is depressed, she does not cry or make trouble, but puts more energy into her work.There are always floods and droughts in such a large country, and the Royal Relief Society is always busy.At the same time, after her marriage was settled, the hearts of the women's school began to be unstable. They thought that the person who made the decision was about to marry, and the rest of the group would have no leader and would naturally disperse.And the library has just started to improve, and Coral is even more busy.

After a long time, everyone can see the problem.Coral is not at all as shy and radiant as a bride should be, nor is she hiding in the house to embroider the dowry. On the contrary, she is no different from usual, except that she has lost weight.If it is different, it is Shanhu's attitude towards Nalan Xingde, from the original intimacy to the current passerby, which makes Nalan Xingde scratch his heart and lungs.

Ren Na saw it in her eyes and felt anxious, but Fulin was very busy with the affairs of Europe and the West Coal Mine recently, so she had to go to Bumbutai to discuss it.

Bumbutai remained calm, but instead pulled on the coral, and said: "Aijia has not been out of the palace for a long time, you are often outside, can you take Aijia out for a stroll?"

Shan Shan was very happy, she was allowed to leave the palace at any time, and the empress dowager's harem was the largest, so the two randomly sent a little eunuch to tell the emperor and empress, put on ordinary clothes, bring the guards and nurses, and give Shi Shi Then she left the palace, leaving the miserable Ren Na alone to fight with the palace affairs.

Bumbutai first made a request to go to a poor family in the outer city. Although Shan Shan was puzzled, she still took her to a station of the Royal Relief Society in the outer city.The two of them were dressed richly and accompanied by many attendants, and they were shocked at once. A dozen barefoot children followed behind them and couldn't help watching. Their mother was curious and afraid that they would offend the nobles, so she ran over They beat and cursed and dragged them home.

After turning around, Bumbutai asked to go to the best restaurant in the capital for dinner.Coral didn't know what her Mam was thinking at all, so she had to obey her orders, and went back to the Furong Building in the inner city.Thanks to the continuous efforts of Coral and the foreign side Fujin Legion in recent years, the women in the capital have not been completely sinicized, but can walk outside, and go out to have dinner with their girlfriends from time to time, so there are restaurants dedicated to noble women. The boxes we serve.Coral is famous, and the best box in Furong Building is hers. She can see the scenery downstairs, but she is not afraid of being seen by outsiders.Bumbutai looked around, nodded in satisfaction, pointed to a box on the second floor, and asked, "That person looks familiar, who is it?"

Aunt Su Ma at the side replied in a low voice, "It's Mrs. Liao's wife, Mrs. Qin."

"Oh, it's her." Bumbutai said slowly, "At that time, Liao Xia knelt in front of Ai's family and begged Ai's family to give him a marriage."

Coral immediately became interested, and immediately wanted to gossip.The marriage of Liao Xia and Qin's has always been a strange story in the capital.The Qin family was born in a humble family, and her looks were not overpowering, but Liao Xia, who was the most beautiful man in the capital at that time, proposed to marry her in person, and she did not take concubines for many years. Even when the Qin family was pregnant, no concubines showed up. The Liao family's four children, three boys and one girl, were all born to the Qin family.This alone can make countless women curious, and some people even discuss behind the scenes that the Qin family has the way of controlling husbands.

Bumbutai leaned comfortably on the back of the chair and asked, "When I was in the outer city, how did you see the girls from poor families?"

Shan Shan thought for a while, and replied: "On weekdays, I have also seen many women from poor families. Their life is very hard. They have to go out to work during the day, and they have to do housework and take care of their children when they go back. They all look much older than their age. .”

Bumbutai asked again: "Then what do you think of Liao Xia's wife?"

"Perhaps life is going well, she has four children, and they are still well maintained."

"So, the same person has different fate. If women from poor families live the life like Mrs. Liao, they will feel like they are dreaming. Not to mention them, even Yue Le's Fujin will feel that Mrs. Liao is blessed. "Bumbutai smiled. In fact, which woman does not expect her husband to love only herself, and even she had no illusions about Huang Taiji back then, "So, Shanhu, what are you afraid of? You You are a princess, your Ama is the emperor, and Erniang is the current queen, who would dare to look down on you or bully you? You can go out and do things if you want to, and you can live in the back house if you want to live in peace. Do you think that after the wedding, your Ama will ignore you?"

"I, I just..." Coral lowered her head and twisted her clothes, "I don't know what being married is, and I don't know how to be a good daughter-in-law, or a good wife."

"You don't need it." Bumbutai wiped Shan Shan's thoughts away with a single sentence, "Just remember, you are a princess, and you don't need to change anything for others. Nalan is a good boy, his favorite , is also what you are now. If you become no different from those backyard women, are you worthy of your Amma's years of education?"

"So, even after marriage, I can still do what I want? To run a women's school? To build a library?" Coral looked up at her, her eyes sparkling.

"That's right," Bumbutai said sternly, "You just need to remember that you are a princess, the most honorable princess in the Qing Dynasty, and you have your pride, that's enough."

Shan Shan chewed these few words carefully twice, and slowly broke into a smile: "Mam, I remember going out of the palace with Ama when I was young, and he also took me to the civilian area to see it. Mam knows, the people there The road was very narrow and the carriage couldn't get in, so Ama led me slowly. I was thirsty halfway, but there was no water seller nearby, so Eunuch Hua wanted to go directly to a private house to ask for water, but was Ama stopped him, and Ama asked him to knock on the door first. Ama said that although he is the emperor and rich in the world, he still has to respect every citizen. Every private house is a Even the Son of Heaven cannot enter at will. Therefore, Mam, I am indeed the most honorable princess, but I also have to respect the forehead family, thank you Mam, I know what to do."

Bumbutai patted Shan Shan's hand and said with a smile: "Ai Jia knows that the coral of Ai Jia is the smartest. Before that, I just couldn't figure it out for a while, so I got stuck on the edge of a corner."

In September of the 33rd year of Shunzhi, Princess Gulun Ruyi got married. At the same time, the princess was diagnosed as two months pregnant. The queen mother was overjoyed, and even the courtiers were very happy. The pace of the next generation also saves them from standing in the wrong team.

And the European war that lasted for several years was over. Spain and Ottoman were defeated, and the two countries that were once the best in the European continent declined. Maintain good trade relations; Japan took the opportunity to send troops to Ryukyu, and Ryukyu sent people to the Qing Dynasty for help.As if afraid that Fulin was not busy enough, Siam kept harassing the Burmese border, Wu Sangui was old, and Wu Yingxiong had not yet been able to fully control Burmese affairs, so he also sent someone to ask for help from the Qing Dynasty; Tsarist Russia made a lot of money in the European war, and started again Thinking about the three-acre land in the northeast.The most important thing is that the Lifan Academy received a blood letter. The person who delivered the letter was skinny and bruised, claiming to be from the Turghut tribe...

The author has something to say:

Everyone should be familiar with the Turhut tribe, and the legend of returning to the east, due to the strength of the country, it is ahead of schedule.

And, Mouxi is really sorry for everyone. Recently, I have been thinking about money like crazy. I am busy during the day, and I also take on private work at night, so I have no time to write. I am ashamed and run away...
