Chapter 254 Jingyi's Marriage
On the morning of the second day after their wedding, sunlight streamed through the window lattice into the room, illuminating the happy and sweet faces of the couple. The newlyweds rose early, dressed carefully, and went to the palace together to express their gratitude to the Emperor and Empress.
The Kunning Palace was bustling with activity. Buerhe and Yinreng sat at the head of the table, smiling and welcoming the newlyweds. Hongye and his six siblings were also present, and everyone's attention fell on the newlyweds. Hand in hand, they slowly entered the palace, their faces brimming with unconcealable smiles of happiness.
Seeing the loving couple before them, Buerhe and Yinreng couldn't help but smile at each other, their thoughts drifting back to their own wedding. Back then, they too had been so young and shy, longing for a better life. Now, time had flown by, but the joy and emotion of their first marriage remained deeply etched in their hearts.
As both the bride's uncle and her imperial aunt, Buerhe was naturally particularly concerned about the new bride. She enthusiastically pulled Minyan to sit beside her and asked about her well-being.
Seeing the genuine happiness on Minyan's face today, Buerhe was filled with joy, but as someone who had been through it, she knew that married life was not always smooth sailing, so she still wanted to know more about the situation.
"Minyan, how are you living after getting married? Are you used to it?" Buerhe asked softly.
Minyan blushed and nodded, saying shyly, "My dear, everything is fine. The prince treats me very well, and we get along very well."
Hearing this, Bullhe nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "What about when you went to pay your respects to your parents-in-law this morning? Was there anything wrong?"
Minyan quickly replied, "My father and mother are also very kind and amiable. The family is happy and warm."
After hearing Minyan's words, Buerhe finally felt relieved. She smiled, patted Minyan's hand, and said, "That's good, that's good. If you have any troubles in the future, just come to your uncle and don't keep it in your heart." As she spoke, Buerhe ordered the large number of wedding gifts that had been prepared long ago to be taken out to Minyan, including precious jewelry and silks.
Amidst the laughter and joy, Yinreng and Buerhe exchanged glances, and the topic unconsciously turned to Hongye and Jingyi. It was rare in the imperial family for someone of their age to not be married, or even to have a marriage contract.
After all, the marriages of royal children often involve many political interests and family relationships.
"Alas, Hongye and Jingyi are already grown up. Should we consider their marriage?" Buerhe said worriedly.
Yinreng frowned slightly, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "It is indeed time to put it on the agenda. However, the marriage of our children still requires careful consideration."
Thus, a discussion about the marriage between Hongye and Jingyi began.
As for Hongye, the couple had considered it before. If he had a lover or a favorite, they would consider him as long as their status was not too different.
You know, for those born into the royal family, finding a true companion is as difficult as ascending to heaven. Furthermore, Hongye is the crown prince of the Qing Dynasty, and will one day ascend to the throne and become the ruler of the world. With such status and position, finding a true lover is simply a luxury.
However, Yinreng and Buerhe secretly decided that if their son had a close friend, they would secure this marriage for him.
However, when Yinreng and Buerhe eagerly asked their son about his ideal partner, the boy seemed to have not yet grasped the truth and responded bluntly, "As long as my father and mother like it, that's fine. It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I will like whatever you choose."
After hearing this, the couple looked at each other in surprise, wondering in their hearts, could it be that their son had inherited Mafa (Kangxi)'s temperament, and would become a playboy like the emperor in the future?
In fact, it is not entirely to blame Yinreng and Buerhe for having such thoughts. After all, Hongye grew up in a loving family atmosphere, and his father and mother were always wholeheartedly loving and supportive of each other.
Logically speaking, under the influence of such an environment, Hongye should have the idea of finding a partner who is willing to spend the rest of his life with him!
Just like Jingyi, what really attracted her to Hailancha was not only his excellence and the spiritual communication between the two, but also the clause in their family rules that a man can take a concubine only after he reaches the age of 40 without a child. This was also one of the important factors that made Jingyi's heart beat.
Hongye's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew the painstaking efforts of his father and mother. However, finding the ideal woman who could win his heart was no easy task.
There are thousands of people in this world, but not everyone is as lucky as Ama and Jingyi, who can meet the most compatible person in each other's life at once.
Moreover, as the crown prince, his every move affected the national system, and marriage was a matter of great relevance. Therefore, even if he was unwilling, he could not act recklessly or capriciously.
He knew that his marriage was not just a personal matter, but involved the fundamental interests of the nation. The woman who would become his Crown Princess was also of great importance.
No matter who he eventually married, he would do his best to take responsibility and give her the care and attention she deserved. However, it would be difficult for him to indulge in love wholeheartedly.
After all, in his heart, there is not only the love between men and women, but also a deep love for the entire country.
The teachings he received since childhood were deeply ingrained in his soul. He clearly knew that the Qing Dynasty's territory would continue to expand and become increasingly vast, and the responsibilities he would shoulder would also become increasingly heavy.
Therefore, the woman who can walk hand in hand with him and stand shoulder to shoulder with him cannot be just a delicate woman who is intoxicated with romance and love affairs all day long.
He did not expect her to be as famous as those virtuous queens in history, but at least he hoped that she could sit firmly in the harem, manage the affairs of the inner house in an orderly manner, and carefully teach her children to become talents, so that he would have no worries and could fight hard in the front without distraction, expand the territory for the country, and achieve great achievements.
Therefore, when Yinreng and Buerhe mentioned the marriage of the two siblings, they were actually more focused on Jingyi.
Everyone in this room was a relative, and there was nothing to hide, so Buerhe directly proposed to Jingyi the idea of finding a prince consort for her.
In the Qing Dynasty, princesses usually married relatively late. However, if they met the right person, it was reasonable to arrange the marriage in advance.
When they are a little older, they can officially get married. This is what several of Jingyi's aunts did in the past. The aunt who got married first was already 19 years old at that time.
Jingyi had never thought that what they were discussing today would involve her. However, she had already been mentally prepared for this day.
Jingyi said with a smile, "Father, Mother, I think Hailancha is a very good man. I like him very much. I believe that Father and Brother have also conducted some secret research on him. You should be quite satisfied with him as well."
Hearing his daughter praising a man from another family like this, Yinreng, who originally thought that Hailancha was a good candidate for son-in-law, suddenly became gloomy.
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall the time when he married Ulanara. Perhaps the way his father-in-law and uncles looked at him was the same as how he looked at Hailancha now.
I never expected that I, who once took a juicy cabbage from the Ulanara family, would now have to endure the pain of having my precious daughter snatched away by another boy.
This was truly a tit-for-tat situation; the boomerang from the past had finally come back to haunt him! At this point, Yinreng finally understood the meaning of the strange looks his father-in-law and uncles had given him.
He now also felt that something was wrong. Not only that, he also felt a little chest tightness and wanted to find someone, especially someone with the surname Doral, to beat him up to vent his anger.
