The next trip is very tight.
On the first day of the ninth lunar month, the Holy Emperor was stationed at Kelsu.
The grave of Prince Darhan Batur, who is full of beads and rituals, is here.
Kangxi went to the tomb to pay homage in person, and his relatives, princes, and descendants accompanied him.
On the same day, Heshuo's husband-in-law Bandi came to court, and he was the husband-in-law of the eldest princess, Princess Chunxi.
The next day, before the holy cavalry set off, Prince Darhan and his son said goodbye and returned to the palace.
Next, they will lead the princes of their banner to Mulan Paddock and follow Kangxi Qiu Ni.
On the third day of September, the Holy Emperor arrived at the palace of Princess Chunxi, the eldest princess.
Princess Chunxi, the eldest princess, the adopted daughter of Kangxi and the eldest daughter of Prince Gong Chang Ning.
This princess is twenty-eight years old, the same age as her eldest brother, tall and beautiful, and has the air of an eldest sister.
He is not only close to the princes, but also warm to Shu Shu and his three sisters-in-law. He is a very considerate person.
Princess Kangxi got married in the 30th year of her marriage. It has been eight years since she married, and she already has two sons and one daughter.
They are a few lively and cute little babies. They are not only good-looking but also well-educated.
Especially the youngest brother, who is only two years old. He is a fat baby with three heads and a body. He has not lost all his breast fat and has just started to learn to speak.
The Queen Mother was so happy that she hugged several children close to her and asked Shu Shu and her sisters-in-law to hug her more: "The eldest princess is blessed, and you are all blessed too..."
Regarding the "blessing" of the eldest princess, Shu Shu had heard the popularity of Jiu Age before.
It turns out that since the princess was brought into the palace to be raised, there have been princes and princesses standing around in the palace, instead of one being born and one dying as before.
Brother Jiu disagreed with this and said to Shu Shu: "According to this, the boss was also born in that year, or the same year... If there is really 'lucky', it is not the boss who is blessed..."
Shu Shu listened and thought about another possibility.
This theory of the eldest princess's "blessing" may have been deliberately introduced by Kangxi and the Empress Dowager in order to divert attention from the eldest brother.
If the adopted daughter is "lucky", it won't affect anything. At most, she will marry more decently. If the eldest son of the emperor is "lucky", it will threaten the prince.
Regardless of whether this "blessing" is watery or not, the Queen Mother is convinced that she would urge Shushu and others like this.
The eldest princess was born into such a noble family, and became even more noble after her adoption. She was married to one of the best, and had two children within a few years of her marriage. She was indeed called "blessed."
Wufujin and Shushu were both eldest sisters. They had younger brothers at home, but with just a few words they coaxed the children to get close to each other and talked with the two older ones.
Although Qi Fujin also has a younger sister, she is about the same age, and she is not very good at coaxing the child without her taking care of her.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she directly put the youngest brother in her arms.
Qi Fujin's posture when holding the child was stiff. Before his little brother could do anything, he became nervous and did not dare to move.
Children are the most sensitive, and Qi Fujin is not as gentle as the other two aunts.
The little brother looked up and didn't dare to move. He curled his lips and burst into tears.
Qi Fujin was about to burst into tears, and his body was burning hot.
Little brother peed...
After experiencing this, Qi Fujin was still frightened until he arrived at Mulan Paddock.
"It's terrible, it's terrible..."
Qi Fujin followed Shu Shu and muttered: "I have two children in my family, and I have never been exposed to such a situation. I really don't dare to think about ordinary people, how do women take care of their children? It's really a lot of shit and piss..."
Shu Shu sounded wrong.
Isn't the big princess from the Qiandong Fourth Institute raised in the main courtyard of Qifu Jin?
It seems that Qi Fujin hugged him not long after he entered the house, and it has been more than a year.
How did you raise her if you haven't even been hugged?
Qi Fujin said it himself: "That is the granddaughter of the emperor. According to the reduced ranking of the princess, she will be matched with a wet nurse and a nanny when she lands... Even if I want to get closer and closer, there are still people who are worried that I will cause trouble..."
Shu Shu couldn't comment on the lawsuit between wives and concubines. She just looked at Qi Fujin's belly and said, "They say that children's urine is efficacious and is a sign of pregnancy...I don't know if my sister-in-law is worth the double gift..."
Because the youngest son peed all over Qi Fujin, the eldest princess felt guilty, so she prepared a double meeting gift for Qi Fujin.
One is similar to Shu Shu and Wu Fu Jin, mink fur cloak.
They are all of the same style and the same satin material, but the colors are different.
Here in Qifu Jin, there is an extra golden Ruyi.
Although the eldest sister-in-law is a peer, she is a respected relative. Qi Fujin has no choice but to accept it, but he is not willing to take advantage of it in vain.
When preparing gifts for the princess's children, Qi Fujin also prepared double portions.
"Haha, it would be great if that were the case, and I would receive the princess's good fortune..."
Qi Fujin smiled heartily, really looking forward to this.
Shu Shu glanced at Wu Fujin.
Wu Fujin smiled and listened, and also looked at Qi Fujin's belly with a bit of envy.
Even if she is a talented woman who has read many poems and books, she will be confused if she cares and listens to people talking about her too much. It is inevitable that she will be a bit superstitious, and she will not believe the saying that children urinate.
Now the ice has been broken between the fifth elder brother and Wu Fujin, and they are much closer to the naked eye. It will not be difficult for them to spread their wings in the future.
Hope everyone is getting better...
Shu Shu's mood also became cheerful.
Mulan Paddock is located at the junction of Mongolia and Manchuria.
This place was originally the pasture of several Mongolian tribes bordering Manchuria. Several tribes united and dedicated it to Kangxi.
As the Holy Spirit arrived, the entire paddock became lively.
Not only the Eight Banners officers and soldiers stationed in the retinue, but also the Mongolian princes from various tribes who came to pay homage, and the warriors who accompanied them as bodyguards.
In addition to the Haraqin Tribe, Aohan Tribe and Horqin Tribe, the three tribes that the Holy Emperor passed through before, there were also princes from the Wengniute Tribe, the Naiman Tribe, the Alu Horqin Tribe and the Gorros Tribe. The Khalkha and Tumote tribes of Mobei Mongolia also sent envoys to the DPRK.
In the next twenty days, nearly 13,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers will be encircled by Kangxi.
The line is built on a slope. In addition to the officers and soldiers of the upper three flags, the lower five flags are responsible for guarding the paddock.
The tents of the Mongolian princes were not far from the palace. From a visual inspection, they were close to each other for about ten miles.
The Lord of the Aristocratic Domain will make unified arrangements for the division of camps.
The Mongolian tribes in the inner vassal were ranked according to the size of the tribe and their proximity to the imperial court.
The envoys of the outer vassal Mongolia are on the outer level.
After many days, Shu Shu finally lived in a separate small courtyard again. Before she could take a closer look, she was summoned by the Queen Mother.
It turns out that this time the Mongolian princes came to court, along with the female relatives of various tribes.
Even the princesses Heshuo I had met before came with their husbands this time.
Princess Duanjing is still gentle, but she is becoming more and more taciturn in front of others and is easily ignored by others.
Princess Duan Min didn't know if she had been persuaded by her husband and children, but she still looked arrogant, but within the rules, she was no longer as arrogant as before when she was in her own territory.
Princess Chunxi is graceful and majestic. She is not as round and considerate as before. She is full of royal aura. Even when she is with her aunt Princess Duanmin, she is not suppressed at all.
It’s another happy family recognition session...
Princes Shu Shu and Fujin became decorations, following the Queen Mother and receiving many greeting gifts.
When they met the junior clan daughter, they dispersed some more.
Maybe it was because he was tired, or because he had enough confidence to make money, Shu Shu was much calmer about all kinds of gold and gems.
He is generous in receiving and not stingy in giving, like a passing god of wealth.
The same is true for Wu Fujin and Qi Fujin. After all, as the prince Fujin, they also represent the face of the elder brother and the court. If they are really stingy, they will make people laugh.
Besides, everyone made a lot of money from this trip to Mongolia.
Even if a part of it is scattered, I still have a large part in my hand, and I am satisfied and have nothing to be reluctant to part with.
After working for a long time, exchanging greetings in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese, Shu Shu was already talking dry when she returned to her residence. She drank two cups of tea in a row and didn't want to move.
In fact, she still likes to live at home.
She thinks she is a social phobic, but she always becomes a social bastard by accident.
Shu Shu himself couldn't figure out the reason for this.
Xiaosong pressed her again and again from beginning to end before she came back to life.
There will be a banquet tonight to welcome the Mongolian princes who are coming to the court. Their prince Fujin will also attend in auspicious clothes to entertain all the princes and ladies who are coming to the court.
"Where is my father? You haven't come back yet?"
Shu Shu turned over and sat up, rubbed her neck, and asked Walnut.
After setting off today, we didn't rest on the way and arrived at Mulan Palace before noon.
After the couple settled in the small courtyard, Brother Jiu got the order first and went to the imperial palace.
"I haven't replied yet..."
Walnut replied: "It should be soon, I haven't changed my clothes yet..."
The master and servant were talking, and Brother Jiu came back from outside in stride.
When he saw Shu Shu, he looked at her twice and said, "There's no need to change your clothes. Change your shoes. I'll take you to see..."
Shu Shu estimated the time and found that there was still more than an hour before the dinner started, which was very rich.
"Are you going out on horseback? What are you going to see?"
Shu Shu couldn't guess it for a moment.
Before she came to Mulan Paddock, she thought it was just a few square kilometers of hunting ground.
Only when we got here did we realize that Mulan Paddock is three hundred miles from east to west and about two hundred miles from south to south. It is extremely large.
It covers various landforms such as mountains, hills, grasslands, swamps, etc., with dense forests, crisscrossed rivers, and birds and animals everywhere.
According to different terrains, the entire paddock is divided into sixty-seven small paddocks.
Only around the paddock, eight palace sites have been designated. In the future, eight palaces will be built one after another, which shows the vastness of the paddock.
Brother Ninth Brother pretended to be secretive, with a proud look on his face and did not answer.
After Shu Shu changed her shoes, the two of them came out.
The tenth and thirteenth elder brothers are already waiting.
The mounts of Shu Shu and Brother Jiu are also ready.
Without any guards, the destination should be nearby.
Shu Shu made a decision.
Sure enough, everyone rode eastward and within a quarter of an hour, they saw a group of buildings.
The courtyard at the front looks quite big, and there is a plaque hanging on it.
It turned out to be the location of the paddock steward’s office.
A few people did not dismount, but passed through the general manager's office and arrived at a row of houses at the back.
Before I even got close, there was a strange smell coming from the yard.
It's a little smelly, a little smelly, and there's a faint smell similar to popcorn...
Shu Shu felt weird.
What is this?
The horse beneath him was already uneasy and backed up.
Brother Jiu had already dismounted and came over to help Shu Shu down.
When we entered the yard, we saw a cast-iron cage that was about one person tall and about one foot long.
Inside, there was a large and colorful tiger lying on its back.
Judging from his body shape, he is already an adult tiger and is about to fill the cage.
The big tiger noticed someone coming at the door and turned around to look at him. It was Wang Zhijian. His tail was swaying happily. It was visually estimated that the tail was three or four feet long.
Shu Shu felt a little weak.
This can be regarded as absolute suppression of blood.
The tenth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, had already moved forward and circled around the cast iron cage.
The distance between the two of them and the cage was only two or three feet.
Shu Shu was horrified to see it.
Fortunately, the iron bars of the cast-iron cage were as thick as a child's arm and were quite dense. There was not enough space in the middle for a tiger's paw to stick out.
The steward of the paddock knew that the princes were coming to see the tiger, so he brought two cages of chickens over.
This is for tiger feeding.
Brother Jiu held Shu Shu's hand and felt the moisture in her palm, saying: "Don't be afraid, you can't get out..."
Shu Shu felt that this tiger was bigger than the Siberian tiger seen in the news in later generations, and hesitantly asked: "Is a tiger gun useful for such a tiger?"
The Tiger Spear is seven and a half feet tall, about two and a half meters tall.
This tiger is so tall and strong, its length is more than two and a half meters.
Another weight of seven to eight hundred kilograms.
Brother Jiu nodded: "Of course it works. We are not alone. Hundreds of tiger guns are aimed at it. Not to mention one tiger, it is just three or five tigers... Everyone has to work hard, just because they are afraid." It hurts the skin, otherwise it would be easier..."
Shu Shu mentally estimated Kangxi's stature and found that he was shorter than his ninth elder brother.
Even with the help of everyone, daring to face such a tiger directly is considered powerful.
Seeing her silence, Brother Jiu thought she was still scared and said, "Don't worry, these are tigers that have never eaten people. Tigers that have eaten people must not be kept... They have been locked up here for some days." , I was so full that I was too lazy to move... I had to starve for a few days before I could let him out, otherwise he would be hiding somewhere. This year I prepared four tigers, this one is the tiger king, and there is a tiger cub... …”
The tenth brother and the thirteenth brother looked at the chicken coop and wanted to feed the tiger themselves, but they were afraid of scaring Shu Shu.
Shu Shu didn't want to face the blood, and didn't want to ruin the interest of the two little ones, so he said to Brother Jiu: "Isn't there another little tiger? Let me take a look?"
The ninth elder brother agreed, and then ordered the tenth elder brother: "Look at Thirteen, you are not allowed to touch the tiger's tail, and you are not allowed to reach into the cage..."
After giving instructions, the two of them came out and went to the yard next door.
In this yard, there is a similar cast iron cage, but the tiger inside is much smaller.
He is said to be a tiger cub, but he is not the kind of baby tiger that can be held in his arms.
It is estimated to be one meter long, and looks about the same size as a golden retriever, but its body is fatter.
The little tiger was lying down before, but when he heard the noise, he stood up, bared his teeth at the two of them, and made an attack gesture.
Cute.
Shu Shu walked to the cage with excitement.
The little tiger was frightened and took two steps back, humming like a cat.
Compared with the Tiger King next door, this is really cute...
