Chapter 202: E Rong'an's Marriage
E Rong'an is already seventeen years old, and marriage is on the agenda.
Ortai is the emperor's confidant and holds a high position of power. His aunt is a royal concubine with two princes. Just based on these facts, there are countless families who want to marry into the Xilin Gioro family.
Not to mention that E Rong'an, as the eldest son of E'ertai, is also highly valued by the emperor. He passed the imperial examination this year and is also a promising young man.
Many girls from the big Manchu families are eyeing E Rong'an.
Xitala picked and chose and attached great importance to it.
Character comes first, family background comes second.
It also depends on the stance of the father and brothers in the family, whether they are followers of someone, and whether they have taken sides in the fight for succession.
What is the reputation of the girl in the family, is the harem complicated, and what kind of environment did she grow up in...
After layers of screening, the daughter of Bordo, the Minister of Tongzhengshisi, was chosen.
This official position is the third rank, and this official position is one of the "Nine Great Ministers" (including the six ministers, the Left Censor-in-Chief, the Minister of the Supreme Court and the Minister of Public Security).
This position has a high political status, but it still lacks real power.
But this eldest daughter-in-law is extremely important. Ortai and Xitala must have their reasons for choosing this family.
Huimin was definitely not as good as Ortai in grasping the affairs of the previous dynasty, and there was no objection to this.
The wedding has been scheduled for the second half of the year, and we are just waiting to choose an auspicious day in the early spring of next year to hold the wedding.
Hongyao has a particularly good relationship with his uncle E Rongan. This time, he persuaded the emperor for a long time before the emperor allowed him to attend E Rongan's wedding.
The wedding will be held in the capital, and it is a pity that Huimin cannot go to personally witness her brother's major event in life.
But Hongyao said he would definitely go and take a close look, then come back and tell his mother about it.
In fact, if she had asked the emperor for permission, she might have been able to go, but Huimin was very cautious, fearing that the emperor might be displeased with her one day because of something, and the thing he had agreed to do would have become a mistake.
He just said that after the wedding, Xitala would bring the new bride into the palace with a name card to meet his brother's wife.
Although Huimin had not arrived yet, she had prepared generous gifts for the new bride.
The rewards flowed like water to show his appreciation for his brothers and sisters.
When the emperor knew about this, he also gave some rewards.
"E Rong'an is a good person. I will naturally pay more attention to your brother's marriage."
The Emperor’s original words.
He was the son of an important official in the court. The two families were married, the prince came in person, the imperial concubine gave gifts, and the emperor intervened.
But he gave E Rongan enough face.
In order to attend the wedding, Hong Yao left the palace early in the morning, but he went there as the nephew of E Rong'an, downplaying his status as a prince. This was also the emperor's intention.
He wore casual clothes to show that he was not acting like a prince.
Huimin and others in Chengqian Palace also got up early.
Today, the emperor came to Chengqian Palace specially for lunch.
"My beloved concubine is different today than usual. I knew Min'er was looking forward to it so much, so why not let the concubine go with you?"
Huimin just laughed, "Your Majesty always makes fun of me, saying that I am just like that kid Hongyao."
When Huimin said this, the emperor also laughed.
"Min'er is particularly lively today, but it's also true that E Rong'an grew up with you, and you said before that you raised the child, so naturally you have a deep relationship with him."
Huimin put on the mask that the emperor was familiar with and acted gentle and graceful.
"I just feel that time flies by so fast," Huimin said as she looked at the emperor and gently leaned against him. "It has been ten years since I entered the palace. I still remember that boy E Rong'an was just a little boy when I left home, and now he is getting married."
Huimin smiled tenderly, "And I have served the emperor for ten years. I only wish to be by his side forever."
Huimin leaned her head gently on the emperor's shoulder. Seeing Huimin like this, the emperor's heart trembled.
The emperor's expression softened, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
"Yes, we have been in love for ten years. I am very happy to have Min'er."
The emperor held Huimin in his arms, and the two of them were affectionate for a moment before the emperor spoke.
"Today's government affairs are almost done. I'm going to go see Hongxi. I haven't seen this kid for a few days. I wonder if he is still angry with me?"
"He has a really stubborn and bad temper."
Although the emperor said this to Hongxi, his eyes were full of smiles. It was obvious that he did not take this seriously and was very doting on his son.
Huimin looked at the emperor's expression and had an idea in her mind.
"Your Majesty, this is unfortunate. Hongxi, you didn't let him go to E Rong'an's wedding with Hongyao, so he ran out early in the morning to find Honghan."
"Hey, this guy."
The emperor smiled helplessly.
"Don't go climbing trees again, that's too dangerous."
Then the Emperor looked at Huimin and said:
"I don't know who Hongxi took after. I am not as bold as him. The late emperor was also strict with us brothers when we were young. Min'er doesn't have that kind of personality either."
The emperor pondered for a moment, "However, Hongxi and Honghan are so close, I am afraid that he is influenced by Honghan. Speaking of which, his mother Chaopin is indeed a bold person with a bad temper."
Speaking of concubines, the emperor had a smile in his tone as if he was thinking of something.
"Although Chaopin has a quick temper, she is straightforward, not a bad person by nature, and full of vigor and vitality."
After thinking for a while, the emperor said, "Chaopin likes to move around, and is also good at riding and archery. It's a good thing for the two princes Hongxi and Honghan to like riding and archery. Let Chaopin influence them a little."
As he spoke, the emperor also remembered that his chubby son Honghan looked like his mother.
"They are four years old now. In two years, they will have to go to the study room and read more books. They should not be too far behind Hongyao and Hongjun."
"Just don't be like Prince Heng back then."
Prince Heng was raised by the Empress Dowager Renxian, who loved him very much. She was born in Khorchin, Mongolia, and spoke Mongolian on weekdays. He also spoke Mongolian and Manchu. Chinese was the most difficult language to learn, but other princes studied Chinese from dawn to dusk, but he didn't have to study because of his grandmother. So until he was 18, he couldn't speak a word of Chinese.
The emperor thinks too highly of the two younger ones, comparing them to Prince Heng.
No matter what Honghan and Hongxi do, it won't come to this.
Huimin didn't want the emperor to say this about his son, but she couldn't express her dissatisfaction openly, so she could only say:
"They are the emperor's sons. The emperor has loved learning since he was young. With the emperor's father's teaching, a good father will have a good son. Naturally, he will not be bad at studying."
The emperor was happy to hear Huimin say this.
Huimin complained in her heart that Emperor Sejong was only good at 45% bow power and was not good at hunting, but don't worry, Honghan and Hongxi, let alone other things, seemed to be better than the emperor in riding and shooting.
