The maid quickly went out to deal with it. Seeing this, the Fourth Lady came close to Burhe and asked with her eyes. Burhe shook her head. Seeing this, the Fourth Lady nodded and walked to the second lady of the Ulanara Mansion.
She came here with a mission today. Seeing that Honghui and Minyan were childhood sweethearts, and she also had a relationship with her second sister-in-law, she wanted to test Minyan's mother's attitude.
Although girls from Manchu families had to reach age and go through a selection process before they could get married, people from their class already had privileges. As long as they agreed to go to the harem and ask for permission when the time came, at most their husband would go to the Qianqing Palace, and the marriage would be secured.
Princess Minyan is nine years old this year. She has grown up under her care. Her personality, family background, and appearance all meet her requirements, especially since Honghui cares about her very much.
She had also suffered from the difficulties caused by the women in the backyard. The fact that she and her master could get along respectfully now was all thanks to the help of her second sister-in-law. She knew too well that when a man does not have you in his heart, life would be difficult even for the legitimate wife.
I can't guarantee anything else, but if Minyan marries into their family, she can guarantee that she won't be a wicked mother-in-law and interfere in the affairs between the young couple. I've been caught in the rain before, so I hope others won't be caught in the rain too.
Because of what happened some time ago, Princess Minyan had already returned to the Ulanara family. It would probably be difficult for Honghui to meet her again in the future. The Fourth Lady was also worried when she saw her son's depressed look during this period, so she wanted to take this opportunity to contact the Second Lady.
Fu Cha (Buer and the second sister-in-law) was talking to the Ninth Lady at this time. She and the Ninth Lady were relatives. Her sister was the eldest sister-in-law of the Ninth Lady's family, so the two had met several times. When she saw the Fourth Lady coming, the Ninth Lady immediately acted as a middleman to introduce the two.
The Ninth Lady said, "Second Madam, this is the wife of Prince Yong." Then she turned to the Fourth Lady and introduced her, "Fourth Sister-in-law, this is the Second Madam of the Ulanara Residence, and the mother of Princess Minyan."
If she had just introduced her as the Second Lady, Fucha would have thought that the other party just wanted to get to know her. However, when Minyan was mentioned in such an occasion, especially since Minyan was staying at home and didn't come over today, Fucha's radar was activated.
The Fourth Lady quickly greeted her warmly, "This is the Second Madam, isn't it? She's truly virtuous and kind. I've long heard from my second sister-in-law that she's skilled in housekeeping and raising children. Now that I've seen her in person, I finally understand where Princess Minyan's excellence stems from."
Fucha said: "You are too kind, my wife is just a small firefly, and you are like the bright moonlight. How dare your bright fire compete with the sun and the moon for brilliance?"
The two sides were praising each other when suddenly two maids with disheveled clothes ran in from outside, immediately attracting everyone's attention. The originally lively hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even the eldest and eighth wives who had just entered stared at Buerhe with curiosity and gloating eyes.
Today is a good day for Prince Limi. If someone comes to cause trouble at this time, they will be in for a good show.
Burhe frowned upon seeing this, but a glance calmed the two maids. She waved to Qi'er and gave him a few words. After Qi'er led the two maids out of the hall, Burhe smiled and apologized to everyone in the room, "I'm truly sorry for the poor hospitality provided by Prince Limi's Mansion. I have to leave for a while to attend to some personal matters. I hope you will understand."
After saying this, she winked at the Fourth Lady, and after seeing her nod, she left the main hall with her maid and walked towards the second gate.
Before Buerhe reached the second gate, he heard someone shouting from afar, "You are so blind that you can't even recognize me. When your princess comes, I will ask her why you won't let me in.
After all, I am the wife of a second-rank official, a deposed crown prince. Even if I am a prince now, so what? I am the eldest daughter of the princes. Even if the princess comes, she dare not stop me at will.
Open your dog eyes wide and take one last look at this world. When your master comes, I will dig out your dog eyes."
Buerhe hadn't expected the other party to be so arrogant. Seeing Qi'er approaching from a distance, she quickly inquired about the situation: "Who is that person? How dare you shout at the gate of Prince Zi's mansion?"
Qi'er was a little breathless. "Master, we've already found out. She's a woman from the backyard of Longkodo, the third master of the Tong family and the commander of the infantry. We really didn't invite anyone to our house. She came uninvited. Not only that, Lord Longkodo is also in the front yard."
Burhe asked in surprise: "Not Longkodo's wife? But a concubine?"
Qi'er nodded affirmatively: "The other party claims to be the wife of Lord Longkodo and calls herself Li Si'er. She is indeed not the wife, but a woman in the harem."
Bu Erhe felt that the world was changing too fast, or that she had not seen enough. A concubine of an infantry commander actually dared to provoke at the gate of the prince's mansion. Not only that, she also belittled Yinreng in words and deeds, calling him "Ekechu" all the time. Even the servants in their mansion wanted to teach him a lesson.
After knowing the other party's identity, Buerhe stopped his steps towards the second gate and just waved his hand: "Send a team of guards to drive them out of the mansion directly. Also, go to the front yard and tell the prince to let Master Tong handle his family affairs himself."
Qi'er hurried to do what he was told. Soon the cursing died down, and the Second Gate returned to its former tranquility. Buerhe, having completely calmed down the nausea he'd felt after seeing Qi Ba, suppressed his displeasure and returned to the main courtyard.
Today was a great day for the palace, and we couldn't let this garbage ruin our good mood. After calming down, Bull and the others went inside to continue their laughter.
The climax of the banquet was the arrival of Liang Jiugong. Not only did he come, he also brought rewards from the emperor.
When the imperial edict arrived, all the women in the backyard rushed to the front yard and knelt to receive it. Liang Jiugong stood in front of the incense table and unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand: "By the grace of Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven, I decree that Prince Chenyuan Yinreng is the legitimate son of me and Empress Yuan. Considering that he has lived in Yuqing Palace for many years and has no additional property, he has now left the palace to establish a residence and has the responsibility to support his family. Therefore, after much consideration, I hereby grant him two imperial farms, a garden, and 500,000 taels of silver for his settlement.
Ulanara was a virtuous woman, good at managing the household, kind and virtuous, a role model for women. She was awarded two jade ruyi and a box of jewelry."
After reading the imperial edict, Yinreng quickly reacted and invited Liang Jiugong to stay for dinner, but Liang Jiugong declined. The couple stepped forward and offered him a red envelope: "Liang An Da, please don't postpone it any longer. This is a happy event in our palace. This wedding money cannot be refused."
Hearing that it was wedding silver, Liang Jiugong accepted it with peace of mind. He bowed to Yinreng and Buerhe and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, and Your Highness, for the gift. I need to return to report, so I will not stay here long. I would like to wish Your Highness and Your Highness a happy housewarming and all your wishes come true."
Yinreng's pupils contracted, and then he smiled at Liang Jiugong: "Thank you Liang An'da for your blessing. Liang An'da, take care."
The couple saw Liang Jiugong off at the second gate. Everyone in the main courtyard, especially the princes, had red eyes of jealousy. The emperor was too partial. Before, Yinreng was the prince, so he had the best of everything.
Now they were all on the same starting line. Yinreng was only a prince, the legitimate son of Empress Yuan. He didn't need to issue an imperial decree at the housewarming banquet to raise the settlement silver to 500,000 taels, and also gift two imperial farms. You have to know that when they moved, each person only had 200,000 taels of settlement silver.
For a moment, all the princes were uneasy. Even Yinzhen and Yin?, who had always been on good terms with Yinreng, felt a little indignant. Only Yin'er was a little better. His net worth was already several million, and to be honest, he did not care about a mere 500,000.
