Chapter 312 Fu Jin 20
Fu Jin was afraid that Qiqige would follow the same path in the future. After all, she couldn't be the only woman in the prince's backyard. Even in Abahai, the prince married concubines for various reasons. Qiqige's character couldn't tolerate any sand in her eyes, and she was worried that Qiqige would be bullied.
That day, Qiqige called Nanny Lin to her side. For her, learning these palace etiquettes was not difficult, because she had received similar teachings before, so she only needed to review them a little to master them well.
However, Nanny Lin was very surprised. She thought that the Mongolian princess might be bored with such detailed etiquette, but in fact, Qiqige learned very quickly and showed her unique style.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the Abahai tribe has grown stronger. Under the leadership of the Wuerjin Galapu County King, they have successfully established a powerful force. And Qiqige has also grown from an innocent little girl to a twelve-year-old girl.
During this period, Prince Wuerjin Galup also paid special attention to his sons. He understood that only through good education and training could the children become better and better support Qiqige. Therefore, he increased his efforts in educating his sons, hoping that they could become real men.
Since Bater and Morigen knew that Qiqige would go to the Forbidden City, they had a strong determination in their hearts: they must become better! Bater knew that his advantage was in his martial arts, so he devoted a lot of time and energy to training every day. Now he is no longer the skinny boy, but a tall, muscular Mongolian warrior. Among his peers, Bater's strength is undoubtedly the strongest.
However, although Morigen was not as brave as Bater, he was very wise. He clearly realized that it would be difficult for him to achieve remarkable success in terms of military strength. Therefore, he chose to focus on thinking and strategy, trying to use wisdom to make plans for his Aha and his tribe.
Time flies, and it is already the 36th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. The 10th Prince is already 14 years old, which is not considered young for the Manchus. Qiqige also has to hurry up and participate in the selection in the 37th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Therefore, Qiqige decided to embark on a journey to the capital in a few days. This means that she will leave the grassland, step into the Forbidden City, and start a new life.
Before leaving, Fu Jin was reluctant to let Qi Qige sleep with her for one night: "Qi Qige, Eji and your Eqige have no other thoughts, they just hope you can be safe. Don't be afraid when you arrive at the Forbidden City, Bater will send you there and will not come back until you get married. You must remember that you are the most honorable princess of my Abahai tribe, and this is the foundation of your own life." Fu Jin said to Qi Qige, she hoped that Qi Qige would not be too trembling after arriving at the Forbidden City, she was their jewel in the palm, even if she was a little reckless, nothing would happen. She knew Qi Qige had her own opinions, but as a parent, she couldn't help but want to say a few words of advice.
Qiqige lay beside Fu Jin obediently, listening to her mother's words, her heart filled with warmth. She held Fu Jin's hand tightly and said softly: "Eji, Qiqige understands your and Eqige's expectations, I will definitely take good care of myself. Don't worry, I have grown up and am no longer the little girl who needs you to worry about me all the time."
Fu Jin gently stroked Qiqige's hair, her eyes full of love and worry. She knew Qiqige had a strong heart, but as a mother, she couldn't help but nag her a little more. She continued, "Qiqige, you must remember that no matter what difficulties and challenges you encounter, don't give up easily. You are the pride of our Abahai tribe, and you must have the courage to face everything. If someone bullies you, be sure to tell Eji, and we will seek justice for you."
Qiqige nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She comforted him, "Eji, don't worry too much. I will protect myself and won't embarrass you. Besides, I have Bater Aha to accompany me to the capital, and he will take care of me."
Fu Jin once again urged: "Qiqige, remember to write home often to let us know how you are doing. No matter what happens, Eji will always support you."
"Qiqige, after you get married, a lot of things will be different in the Forbidden City. There will be many women in the prince's mansion. As the legitimate wife, I just hope that you don't give yourself entirely to the Tenth Prince. I'm worried that you will get hurt. I just hope that my Qiqige will be that lively and lovely little girl who always has a smile on her face. Things in the backyard are complicated, and I can't explain them clearly to you. You have to protect yourself at all times, okay?" The wife looked at her daughter in front of her, her heart full of worry and reluctance. Although this marriage was granted by the emperor, she couldn't help but remind Qiqige not to devote herself to this marriage to avoid getting hurt.
"Eji..." Qiqige leaned on Eji's legs: "I will remember your words."
Fu Jin patted Qiqige's shoulder distressedly and comforted her: "Eji believes in you, my Qiqige is the best."
Qiqige knew that Eji was just concerned about her. She didn't imagine that her future husband only had her in his heart. "Eji, Qiqige understands. I have Qingzhu, Sanna and Nanny Lin by my side. Aren't you worried about them being around?"
Qiqige thought very clearly that the Tenth Prince was a prince after all, with a noble status, and it was inevitable that he would have three wives and four concubines in the future, but as long as they got along well with each other, as long as the Tenth Prince did not support his concubines to slap her in the face, and gave her the treatment and respect she deserved as a legitimate wife, she would not care. As for the rest, after having children in the future, even if the Tenth Prince wanted to live somewhere else, she would not interfere too much.
Fu Jin was very familiar with the people Qiqige mentioned. They all grew up with her and had a deep relationship. Fu Jin was even more relieved about Nanny Lin, because Nanny Lin's life was tied to Qiqige and she would do her best to take care of Qiqige. Fu Jin had also seen Qiqige's methods over the years. She knew how to use both kindness and power and had her own unique way of dealing with things. She believed that she would be able to deal with various situations in the mansion.
