The emperor pondered: "The Miao Ransom in Guangxi is about to settle down, and my son is busy offering sacrifices to heaven. It is not in a hurry to choose a beautiful girl."

The Empress Dowager nodded and smiled: "You should care about the country. It is only the rule of choosing the beautiful girl to be my ancestors, so you should not violate it. You should have chosen the beautiful girl in the third year of Qianlong. But you insisted on keeping mourning for the late emperor for three years, and you gave up all the eight-banner girls to the selection. Three years have passed, and there is no reason."

"Emperor, you only have three princes under your knees. Your mother's family is not a prominent family. You are about to worship the heavens. How should you report to God for the matter of your descendants? The imperial heir is not your personal matter, but it is the country's destiny. If the imperial heir is not prosperous, it means that the country's destiny will not be prosperous. If you take Emperor Kangxi as an example in everything, you should inherit the prosperous country left by Emperor Kangxi."

The emperor hurriedly stood up and stood up solemnly: "Son listen to the training."

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Besides, the selection of the Eight Banners Show Girls is not just for you to choose the Six Palaces, but also for marriage to the relatives of the royal family. If you don't choose, those close to the relatives of the royal family will not have a concubine; and those waiting for the selection of the women, if they cannot get married on their own without being selected, they have been waiting for three years. If they wait for another three years, they will be disappointed in their years."

The Empress Dowager pressed a string of jade plaques on the eighteen sons on her hand that were used as a descent: "Besides, next year, it will be the Ai family's fifty-year-old birthday. The Ai family doesn't want anything else, just want to watch my royal descendants."

The empress dowager said as she grabbed the handkerchief and touched the corners of her eyes: "Yonglian, my smart and precocious grandson back then, was raised in my Shookang Palace... Now that he has gone, the whole palace is still left by him, and I can still hear his laughter as soon as I calm down. Emperor, no matter how luxurious the Shookang Palace you built for Eniet, is just an empty house, and it is not as good as a house for children and grandchildren."

The emperor stepped out of Shoukang Palace and looked up at the clear blue sky in winter.

Li Yu was also careful to accompany him and did not dare to call the sedan chair forward.

Along the way, he accompanied the emperor along the long street and returned to the Yangxin Hall.

As soon as he entered the Yangxin Hall, Ortai, the foreman, asked for a meeting.

Because Ortai was the chief military minister and Zhang Tingyu was ordered by the late emperor Yongzheng to assist in the administration, the emperor had always treated him very well, so he hurriedly summoned him. When Ortai saw him kneeling and submitted a memorial to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the royal family member Depei. In the memorial, Depei asked the emperor to approve his son, who was over 17 years old, to marry the daughter of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The emperor narrowed his eyes.

Ortai lowered his head and said, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has not introduced the beautiful girl of the Eight Banners, so Malthai's daughter has never been introduced. Malthai's daughter is over 17 years old, so Depei mistakenly thought that she did not need to introduce her, so she could marry herself without introducing her."

The emperor couldn't help but hold the rosary in his hand. Both parties who requested the imperial edict were the governors of Fujian and Zhejiang and the royal family; the other was the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, both of whom were chief officials of the border! If this matter is not properly resolved, it would be a very bad precedent.

"I personally think that the emperor can only allow those who have this misunderstanding to understand the emperor's wishes and follow our court's customs."

The emperor's dark eyes were deep: "Ortai sent an order to the Ministry of Rites, and wrote the Zongren Mansion and Prince Zhuang to list the royal family members who were married to the descendants of the emperor and report to me to know."

Ortai replied quickly: "Abide by the order."

The emperor sighed and said, "Another order is to list the list of women who should be selected by the Ministry of Revenue, and enter the palace to be selected in February next year."
