Yu Ying'er had just finished arranging everything when Princess Chaogui walked in. Her exquisite appearance was not inferior to that of Concubine Ying and Concubine Guaerjia in the original plot. She was extremely particular about her dress and looked like a princess who had been brought up in pampering. Who would have thought that she was a poor little thing forced to become a political sacrifice.

"Princess Chaogui." Yu Ying'er called softly. Just as she was about to salute the princess, she never expected that the princess would kneel down. She was so shocked that she quickly supported her and said, "Princess, what are you doing? I cannot bear this kind of salute."

How could she, a concubine, bear the kneeling of Princess Gulun? She was afraid that the censors would impeach her to death.

"Your Majesty has saved Chaogui's life, and you deserve this gift." When Chaogui said this, her back was very straight and her voice was upright, not like that of a childish girl, which was enough to show that she was a princess with character.

Yu Ying'er saw that the man was too persistent and strong, and she really couldn't stop him. And this was her own palace, so she simply accepted the salute and helped the man up.

"I only told the emperor that the princess' wedding procession represents the reputation of the Qing Dynasty and must be handled with caution. How can I be worthy of the life-saving grace the princess mentioned? I am truly terrified." Yu Ying'er no longer speaks as directly as before. Under Qiqi's guidance, she can now speak in an elegant and sophisticated manner.

Princess Chaogui shook her head calmly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't know that the old Khan has passed away. If it weren't for your Majesty's intercession and your efforts, Chaogui would have already become a plaything of their Junggar customs. If it really came to this, Chaogui would definitely choose to commit suicide to save the face of the Qing Dynasty. In this case, how can your Majesty not be considered as saving Chaogui's life?"

Hmm...it seems to be the case when you put it this way.

Yu Ying'er was almost convinced by Chao Gui. Her beautiful eyes blinked and she seemed a little confused about the situation.

"Your Majesty is sincere, no wonder you are loved by my brother. Chaogui really regrets that she got to know Your Majesty just before getting married. If she had known her earlier, she would have definitely become a close friend of Your Majesty." Princess Chaogui looked at Yu Ying'er with sincere eyes and knew that she was not helping her for any purpose. What's more... As a princess who was about to get married, what could she gain from giving to a favorite concubine?

Princess Chaogui really likes looking at the clean Yu Ying'er, and thinks that she is a breath of fresh air in the harem.

"It's not too late to get to know each other now." Yu Ying'er responded, "I also like the princess's personality."

She is genuine, generous and unpretentious, with the gentleness of a girl in the boudoir, but different from the gentleness of a girl in the boudoir. If she was born in a Wu family, she would probably be able to live as freely and comfortably as Cheng Shilan.

It's a pity that she is a princess of the Qing Dynasty. I just hope that she can leave the Qing Dynasty and become a free bird flying freely in the sky, rather than becoming a canary in another place.

"Your Majesty, can I communicate with you when I go to Junggar? After the death of my mother and Empress Yi, I have no friends in this harem. Your Majesty, can you be my friend, my Aisin-Gioro Kejing's friend?" Princess Chaogui's eyes were shining. She was communicating with Yu Ying'er in her own name, not in the name of a princess, because she wanted to be sincere.

Yu Ying'er gave him a sincere smile in return and said softly, "Okay."

After getting a positive answer, Princess Chaogui's smile deepened. When her mother, Guiren Guo, was still alive, she had always been on good terms with the late emperor's Concubine Yi. Her own education was not bad to begin with. Now that she was going to Junggar, she was not simply going to be a Khatun. It would be very difficult for her to achieve her ideal by herself.

But no matter how difficult it is, she will never give up on herself.

"Your Majesty, you are a good person." Princess Chaogui was really grateful to Yu Ying'er. It was Yu Ying'er's kindness that prevented her plan from failing at the very beginning.

"The princess deserves it. She is born noble and deserves a splendid life." Yu Ying'er felt that those words saying that the princess, who enjoyed the best of the world, should sacrifice for the people were all nonsense. Then the ministers in the court, who were paid by the emperor, should be loyal to him. Why didn't they pacify Junggar and share the emperor's worries?

Peace in the world is the achievement of gentlemen, while danger in the world requires women to sacrifice. Yu Ying'er is just a little woman and cannot live up to the concept of a heroine. She scoffs at such statements. She is extremely envious of Princess Ping Zhaoyang's courage in leading troops to fight.

worth?

When I grew up, my mother said that she was a princess and must learn every talent and please the emperor, because that was her purpose. Later, Empress Yi praised me for my good looks and said that my future husband would definitely like me. She said all that for others. This was the first time I heard someone say that what I got was what I deserved and that I should be dazzling.

Thinking of this, Chao Gui, who had always been strong, suddenly burst into tears. He lost his composure and hugged Yu Ying'er directly. His tears fell on Yu Ying'er's clothes and wet her shoulders.

Yu Ying'er was a little confused, but seeing Chao Gui crying so sadly, she patted Chao Gui's shoulder helplessly and comforted him silently.

A married girl has no mother to vent her grief to, so Yu Ying'er is willing to be more tolerant.

I don't know how long it was before the nanny's voice came from the door, reminding Princess Chao Gui that it was time to go back and prepare. Chao Gui left Yu Ying'er's arms. The tear marks on her face, her red eyes, and her eyelashes stained with mist made her delicate appearance look even more pitiful.

Yu Ying'er was always full of love and care for this girl who was two years younger than her. She quickly took out the silk handkerchief hanging around her waist and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and the tear marks on her cheeks.

"Princess, please go back. The new Khan of Dzungar has just been established, and there must be many affairs that need to be dealt with. You can also say goodbye to the people you care about in Beijing. You must also remember that although you have married into Dzungar, Qing is still your home in the end." Yu Ying'er said gently, hoping that the princess would regard Qing as a support, and that Qing would support the princess with dignity.

Princess Chaogui sniffed, thanked him, and then took her leave. When she reached the door, she saw Concubine Hua standing there. She was startled and didn't know how much Concubine Hua had heard. She hurriedly paid her respects.

Nian Shilan couldn't help thinking of her daughter when she saw Chao Gui. She felt distressed but couldn't express it. She just said dryly, "Princess, don't be so polite. Go back quickly."

After saying this, he felt a little embarrassed and ran away to look for Yu Ying'er.

Princess Chaogui looked at the impetuous Nian Shilan with a little doubt, and couldn't help but mutter: "This imperial concubine is not as aggressive and unforgiving as the rumors say."

The nanny was standing aside and asked without hearing what Princess Qing Chaogui said.

Princess Chaogui shook her head to indicate that she was alright, then she remembered Yu Ying'er's words and looked towards the direction of the Yangxin Palace. After hesitating for a long while, she said, "Come with me to pay my respects to my brother."

[ps: Because I searched Baidu when I wrote about Princess Chaogui, and I found that Legend of Zhen Huan was set during the Yongzheng period, so the most likely prototype of Princess Chaogui was Princess Haibang, so I wanted to let Princess Chaogui follow this trend, so the previous conversation between Yu Ying'er and Nian Shilan about Princess Haibang was changed to Princess Pingyang Zhao, which is also a legend, so you readers can take a look at this reminder when you see this. ]
