Chapter 267 Conversation between Buerhe and Fei Yanggu
Not long after the letter was sent, Bullhe received a reply. Surprisingly, the cousin's family had acted so quickly, securing a marriage for her within just two days, with the wedding taking place next month. Even more surprising, the man was far away in the northwest. As a result, seeing this cousin again in the future would likely be impossible.
After taking care of her cousin's affairs, Buerhe began to make arrangements to return to her parents' home with her three adorable children. Although they now lived in Shoukang Garden, where the rules were indeed much more relaxed than those in the Forbidden City, Buerhe knew that as the queen, even with her privileges, she could not return to her parents' home too often.
However, when Buerhe informed the Ulanara family that she was about to return home, although she had emphasized in advance not to make a big fuss about it, the entire Ulanara family's house was still busy.
When Bull and Zhenzhenqie returned home, they were shocked to find that the house, which was originally spotless and tidy, was now as brand new as if it had been carefully washed with clean water.
Since those present were all close relatives, and the three little ones were only four years old, there was no need to worry about gender discrimination. So, the group headed straight for the main courtyard.
It is worth mentioning that at that time the Ulanara family had not yet been divided. Buerhe’s three brothers, together with his sister-in-law, nephews and nieces all lived together, and the family was happy.
Everyone quickly welcomed Buer and his mother and walked into the main courtyard. Fei Yanggu, who had already retired and was at home, was also waiting there early with his wife.
After everyone met and exchanged greetings, Jueluo hugged Hongyan affectionately, the eldest sister-in-law Wang Jia hugged Hongying gently, and the second sister-in-law Fu Cha stood quietly beside Hongchen.
Only the third sister-in-law, Nara, who was pregnant with a big belly, wanted to walk up to the three cute little kids with a loving face, but was stopped in time by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Burhe.
Buerhe smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, look at your belly. You're almost giving birth! And it's so big. These three brothers are all naughty and mischievous. If one of them accidentally touches you, I will be blamed."
As she spoke, Buerhe's eyes were filled with concern. In fact, she was also very happy that her child was so popular, but when she saw her third sister-in-law's bulging belly, she knew that this baby must be twins.
After all, this was a tradition in the Ulanara family; twins were conceived in almost every generation. But speaking of triplets, so far, only Bull and I had safely and successfully given birth.
Hearing what Burhe said, Nara quickly responded with a smile: "Oh, thanks to the experienced nanny given by the Queen. With her taking good care of me, I am naturally more at ease. It was because of your care that I was able to prepare for the birth so peacefully." As she spoke, Nara looked at Burhe with gratitude.
Burhe smiled, shook his head gently, and said gently, "Why should we be so polite to each other among family members? Besides, I sincerely hope that my third sister-in-law can give birth to a baby safely, and that both mother and child are well. Oh, by the way, I have already informed Madam Zhang's doctor in advance. I estimate that she will come to visit us in two days. You must pay close attention to her then."
Hearing this, Nara's face beamed with joy, as beautiful as a blooming spring flower. She quickly bowed to Burhe and expressed her gratitude, saying repeatedly, "I sincerely thank the Empress for her care and concern. Next year, when your nephews can walk, I will have them come to the palace to express my gratitude in person."
Burhe waved his hand slightly, indicating that Nara shouldn't be polite, and accepted the gratitude frankly. However, at this moment, Jueluo, who had been silent until then, suddenly interrupted and said, "You came back today specially. I guess there is something important?" In an instant, the originally harmonious and joyful atmosphere in the room seemed to be invaded by an invisible cold current, and it instantly became solemn.
Fortunately, the eldest and second sisters-in-law reacted quickly and spoke up to smooth things over. The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile on her face, "Oh, look at what you're saying, Mother. The Empress returned this time because she missed you, her kind elder! And she even brought along the three adorable little princes to visit you."
The second sister-in-law also quickly agreed: "That's right, mother, didn't you often talk about missing the little princes a few days ago? Now it seems that you and the queen are really in tune with each other!" With the clever words of the eldest and second sister-in-law, the tense atmosphere in the room finally eased gradually, and the previous harmony and warmth were restored.
Burhe smiled a gentle smile, a smile of peace and relief, as if all the knots in her heart had been untied. She had always been unable to let go of the lack of maternal love, but with the passage of time and the warmth of her family, those entanglements and obsessions had long since disappeared.
Today, she is surrounded by a group of innocent and lovely children, whose laughter fills every corner; and she also has a husband who loves and cares for her wholeheartedly, giving her endless tenderness and support. Such a happy family makes her deeply feel that the once thin maternal love has become insignificant.
At this moment, Fei Yanggu interrupted at the right moment and said, "Buerhe, you came back home today on purpose. Is there something important you want to tell your father? If so, why don't we go to the study to discuss it in detail, so that they can stay here to accompany the princes."
Ever since he resigned from his court duties and stopped managing affairs, he gradually noticed some subtle changes in his family.
It turned out that his wife, Jueluo, held a rather awkward position within the family. Not only did her daughters-in-law dislike her, but even her own sons and grandchildren sometimes avoided her. This was especially true after the old lady's passing. As the most senior woman in the family, Jueluo should have been highly respected, but her sharp tongue had offended everyone, leading to a wide berth.
Fei Yanggu knew that his daughter, Buerhe, was strong-willed and not afraid of Jueluo's cold words or cold violence. However, in order to avoid unnecessary conflict between mother and daughter and to avoid upsetting Buerhe, he decided to take the initiative to propose this suggestion, hoping to temporarily separate the two.
After hearing her father's proposal, Buerhe thought for a moment and then readily agreed. Although she was not afraid of Jueluo's difficulties, since her father had said so, she was naturally willing to obey her father. So she stood up and walked towards the study with Fei Yanggu. Along the way, the father and daughter chatted as they walked, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
After entering the study, Buerhe couldn't wait to get straight to the point and asked his father Fei Yanggu directly: "Father, what do you think about Wu Ge's marriage?"
Fei Yanggu sighed helplessly and said slowly, "Ama knows very well why you came here today. In fact, Ama has known for a long time that Wu Ge has someone in his heart.
However, firstly, given our family's current status, it would not be difficult for your fourth brother to find a satisfactory marriage, but he has fallen in love with that older commoner woman. Secondly, if your mother knew about this, she would definitely make a big fuss, and the whole family would probably be in turmoil. So, Ama thought, it is best to avoid trouble as much as possible and call off this marriage!
Upon hearing this, Bull's smiling face instantly became serious, and the smile on his face seemed to be swept away by a gust of wind and disappeared without a trace.
She stared at Fei Yanggu and retorted firmly, "Father, how can you think like that? Can we just ignore Fourth Brother's true feelings? Is it unimportant for Fourth Brother to pursue his own happiness? Why should we look down on others' family background?"
If we could turn back time a hundred years, our family would have been nothing more than ordinary soldiers. As for my mother, if my father had truly wanted to control her, things wouldn't have gotten to the chaotic state they are today. If we truly can't get along, the worst that can happen is that we split up and live our own lives!"
