Chapter 104 Yinzhi's Birthday Banquet
"Wait a minute, I don't want to listen to it for the time being," Yinzhen felt that he had to slow down. He had already believed that the Qing Dynasty had fallen. He was so tired for the emperor's father for what he had arranged!
"There is no such thing as Huaiyu, but the former Princess Heshuo Kechun had this title, and it was changed back later. Her husband was Wu Yingxiong," Yinzhen poked Wen Yao's forehead, "and other princesses who married Han officials include Princess Heshuo Roujia, the adopted daughter of the emperor, and her husband was Geng Juzhong, the grandson of Jingnan Prince Geng Zhongming, and Princess Heshuo Heshun, another adopted daughter of the emperor, and her husband was Shang Zhilong, the seventh son of Pingnan Prince Shang Kexi. Whether it was marriage or marriage to Han officials, they were closely related to the previous dynasty."
"These three princesses and their husbands belonged to the Three Feudatories at that time, one for each feudatories, and Xu Jing will marry a Han official in the future. Nowadays, we advocate that the Manchus and the Han people should be one family, and this marriage is the fusion of the Manchu and Han peoples," Yinzhen was very sure that Xu Jing's marriage would not be changed, and no matter what, it would not change these.
"So, Wen Xian's wedding doesn't have much purpose?" Wen Yao thought about it. Wen Xian, who was raised by the Empress Dowager, was the most favored. She was the only one who married a Manchu.
"I guess so. She was raised by the Royal Madam, and the Royal Father took the Royal Madam into consideration and maintained a balance within and outside the court. Overall, marrying into a Tongjia family was a good idea. What a pity," Yinzhen laughed. The Tongjia clan is very complicated internally. Some support the prince, some support the fourth brother, and some support the eight brother. It's very interesting.
If he were to say, judging from the previous life, the happiest person was still Xun Jing.
"Being a princess is quite miserable," Wen Yao muttered in a daze. No wonder people say that if you want to be a princess, you should be a princess of the Tang Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, and forget about being any other princess.
Yinzhen looked at Wen Yao, who was drowsy and sleepy in his arms, and laid her down, but was hugged again in an instant. Yinzhen had no choice but to sleep like this.
That night, Yinzhen dreamed that his royal father and Wu Yingxiong became sworn brothers, and that Yinzhen called Wu Yingxiong "brother". Wu Sangui also became his royal father's elder. Yinzhen wanted to shout but couldn't. He wanted to beat Wu Sangui and his son, but he couldn't run and even felt short of breath!
When he woke up, he found his wife lying on top of him. Yinzhen looked at his wife's sleeping posture and was amazed.
Wen Yao also got up with Yinzhen and asked Yinzhen how to give the ninth princess Xu Jing a birthday gift. She asked Xiao Qiuzi to write it down. After the birthday gifts prepared by the two families were packed up, she took them to Yikun first.
Concubine Yi checked the birthday gift that Wen Yao brought over and said, "That's fine. There will be a palace banquet tonight, and there will be a birthday gift presentation at the banquet."
Concubine Yi took a box from Qiu Ling and said, "Put this in there as a gift from your wife to the Ninth Princess."
Wen Yao took it with both hands, "Mother, I have some here too. If you need more, I can go back to my brother's place and add more."
"Inside this is an eighteen-bead bracelet carved from warm jade with the emperor's inscription on it. This is not only for the Ninth Princess, but also shows everyone how close we are," Concubine Yi said with a smile, taking out another small box.
Concubine Yi opened it and found a golden bracelet inside. "This is one of a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with nine dragons playing with pearls that the emperor gave to me. There is also the emperor's inscription of "happiness, longevity and health" on it. There is only this pair in the world. I give it to you and Ruoxiang. No matter what the future holds, I hope you can leave a way out for yourself, your husband, and me."

Wen Yao picked it up and put it on, "Don't worry, mother." As long as Yinzhen didn't favor his concubine over his wife like Yinqi did, she would always be easy to talk to.
Wen Yao walked around and waited for the palace banquet in the evening. The birthday gift she brought was neither too fancy nor too cheap, just ordinary, but it made Kangxi very satisfied.
Wen Yao was never bored day by day. After finishing her work, she would look for people to chat with in the palace. She even went to Yonghe Palace to find Concubine De. In a word, they had a very pleasant chat every time.
He also brought the Sixteenth Prince with him, and the Fourteenth Prince would take the Thirteenth Prince to run to Wen Yao and Yinzhen's courtyard from time to time.
The tenth day was the Eighth Prince's birthday, and it was held in the Eighth Prince's own residence. Wen Yao thought it was quite lively, but Yinzhen said it was much quieter than before. Wen Yao did not comment.
At Yinzhi's birthday banquet, Wen Yao learned the difference between lively birthday banquets. The Prince of Zhi's Mansion was unusually lively, and the male guests were naturally entertained by Prince of Zhi Yinzhi himself, but as for the female guests, the Prince of Zhi's Mansion had no concubines or illegitimate wives, only princesses and concubines.
It is impossible for Yinzhi to let princesses and concubines entertain the female relatives. If so, it would be an insult to the female relatives who came. Yinzhi would not be so stupid.
No matter how Yinzhi and the crown prince fought, Yinzhi invited the crown princess to help receive the female relatives, but...
Wen Yao looked at a maid standing beside her and pointed at herself, "You said that I should go to receive the royal family's wives?" Are you stupid or am I?
Is this something she, the Ninth Lady who had just married into the royal family, could do?
"The Crown Princess is not here, so where are the third, fourth, seventh, and eighth sisters-in-law? They are all busy?" Wen Yao wondered if the word "stupid" was written on her face. [Do I look stupid and easy to tease? Am I that stupid?]
The maid looked anxious, "No, the wives are all busy. There is no one to receive you for the time being, so the master asked me to come and find you. Please come with me quickly. If you are late, it will be impolite to the Prince of Zhi's Mansion."
Wen Yao glanced at the maid, winked at Matron Cui He, and then quickly ran to the main courtyard, "Crown Princess, Third Sister-in-law, Fourth Sister-in-law, Seventh Sister-in-law, Eighth Sister-in-law, help me, a servant asked me to go and receive the royal family wives and ministers' families who have come."
Arrive before anyone arrives.
The Crown Princess had just arranged for the women from the Irgen Gioro clan and the wives of several princes and nobles of the royal family when she heard the shouts of her ninth brother's wife outside. She winked at the Third Wife and others sitting over there.
The Third Lady was chatting with Wusu, the wife of Prince Chuntai of Heshuo Kangdao. Naturally, she heard the voice of her cousin and saw the look in the Crown Princess' eyes. She had already cursed Wen Yao several times in her heart, but she still smiled dignifiedly, "Please sit down for a moment. I'll be back soon."
The Fourth Lady was chatting with Prince Jian's wife, Lady Borjigit, and Prince Jian's eldest son's wife, Lady Guwaljia. After hearing the voice, she turned around and chatted with Prince Kangdao's wife, Lady Wusu, without forgetting Prince Jian's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
The Third Lady came out and looked at Wen Yao who was running over, frowning, "What's going on? Stop making such a fuss, what's the matter? The Crown Princess is here. We can just stay in the room and receive the Crown Princess."
Wen Yao pulled Sanfu Jin, "Third sister-in-law, here is the maid who was knocked unconscious by Nanny Cui He. She asked me to go because you were all busy! Jiu Ye said that the Crown Princess was here, so don't let me get involved and fall into a trap. I didn't expect Jiu Ye to be right!"
