Chapter 326: Hope: The family will finally be reunited
Buerhe had finally come to the grassland, and this was Kejing's home turf. Therefore, before Harlin had a chance to say a few words to her aunt and uncle, or to act coquettishly, Kejing directly hugged Buerhe's arm and kept talking about the interesting things on the grassland and the beautiful scenery here.
Sometimes when they were in a good mood, they would just blurt out all the embarrassing stories of their brothers and sisters without caring whether Harlin was present or not. This made the blush on Harlin's face disappear and quickly gather again. Only Bull and Bull never stopped laughing because of these funny stories. In the end, they even felt that their faces were about to freeze with laughter.
Seeing that if he didn't stop her, Harlin's little head would shrink back into her neck, and his cheeks began to hurt, Buerhe spoke up to stop Kejing from revealing more embarrassing things.
"Alright, alright, stop playing around for now. We've been talking for ages, you must be tired. Have a drink and take a break. Qi'er, hurry up and get Princess Kejing a cup of good tea. We've been talking for so long, and you've been having so much fun beside us, you can't just show some appreciation!"
Qi'er was very understanding. Seeing this, he quickly took the tray from the maid and said, "Princess, please have some tea to moisten your throat."
"Sister~ I hate you. If you're tired of listening to me, just say it directly. You're so considerate of your sister that you say you're tired. Humph..."
He said so, but the next second he drank the warm tea that Qi'er handed to him, and handed it to Qi'er, indicating that he should refill it. It seemed that he was really thirsty.
Bull tapped Ke Jing's forehead in amusement (there was nowhere else to start, as they were all jewelry). Seeing Ha Lin beside him, he still gave Ke Jing some face: "Alright, Qi'er, you've been so funny, you should quench your thirst first. This time, I brought you a lot of goodies I've saved, and a lot for Ha Lin. By the way, Yuanshou's wife asked me to bring two carriages of goodies, you can take them all away later."
After Buerhe finished speaking, Qier put a gift list directly into Kejing's hands.
Ke Jing opened it directly, her eyes brightening. As a princess, especially now the eldest princess of the Gulun clan, what good things had she not seen? Even gems as big as fists, of various colors, were in her box. Even gold jewelry could fill several large boxes.
But this time, the good things that Bullhe brought over really couldn't be bought with money.
There are several night-shining pearls the size of cantaloupe, and two boxes of sea pearls, including lavender, warm white, golden, and bright black. The number of each type is about the same, and almost every color can fill a box. If you make pearl necklaces, you can make at least several.
In addition to these, there are also many freshwater pearls. She is a princess and cannot wear Eastern pearls, but Buerhe brought her a lot of South Pearls, almost a small box. With such colors, sizes and quantities, she could play with these pearls all day long, and it would take her several days.
"Good sister, good sister-in-law, you are so good to me. These things are hard to come by on the grassland and are much more valuable than gold." Ke Jing couldn't help but hugged Buer and shook him coquettishly.
This left Ha Lin dumbfounded once again: Could her own mother have such a feminine side? Was this still the same mother who had dragged her away and punished her without a word? Was she sure she hadn't been replaced?
Then Qi'er waved his hand and asked the servants to carry in several boxes of silks and satins. These were basically tributes from the south. Among them, Shu embroidery and Suzhou embroidery were the most numerous. They were in high demand, and some were even exclusively supplied to the royal family or there were only a few of them in the whole country.
Then came a few boxes of medicinal herbs, which were delivered by Buerhe every year. Although there were Mongolian doctors on the grassland, the species in this place were rare after all, and many medicinal herbs were unique to the Central Plains. Moreover, at a time like this, medicinal herbs, no matter where they were, were good things to save lives, and no one would think too little of them.
At this moment, Ke Jing clung tightly to Buerhe and refused to get down: "Good sister, dear sister-in-law, I really love you so much..." Then a string of flattery came out like it was free.
Harlin had already been pushed away from her aunt by her mother, and was now standing aside in astonishment. For the first time, she felt that she was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say. She saw that the servants in the house had already consciously avoided her, and she was the only one left, at a loss, not knowing what to do next.
Buerhe couldn't stand it any longer and patted Kejing on the back: "Alright, alright, look at how naughty you are. You scared our Harlin. You have been a mother for many years. You can't destroy the majestic image you have in the hearts of children."
After hearing this, Ke Jing nudged his head against Buerhe's neck with some resignation before leaving his side and sitting upright to the side. He didn't react to Ha Lin's expression. His daughter was a bit silly, but she was very prudent. Even if his image fell a little in her eyes today, it wasn't a big deal. After all, she wouldn't see him again, and maybe she would forget it over time.
(Harlin: I am a little stupid, but I don’t have any problems with my IQ, and my memory is absolutely fine. How could I possibly forget?)
The servants quickly served cakes and tea, and Qi'er also brought a plate of cute bunny-shaped glutinous rice cakes to Harlin. When the little girl took the cake, took a bite, and came to her senses, her mother had already changed the topic of conversation with her aunt.
The several large boxes on the floor in the room also disappeared. If she hadn't had an extra bracelet on her hand, she would have really thought that the scene just now was a dream.
However, seeing her mother and aunt chatting happily, the little girl suppressed her curiosity, ate her cakes in small bites, and eavesdropped openly.
Ke Jing: "I really have to thank you, sister, for finding Yuanshou a wife. My husband and I both like Niuhulu very much. She is a good housekeeper and filial daughter. She takes good care of Yuanshou. I feel relieved even in the capital."
Bull and Xiaoxiao said, "As long as you like her, it's fine. I took a fancy to her at the flower viewing banquet. Later, Jingyi found an opportunity to get to know her better in private. She found that many of this girl's personalities and work styles are very similar to yours. She also said that you will definitely like her. Then Yuanshou thought about it himself. The two of them got along quite well, so I agreed to let your royal brother grant the marriage.
To be honest, your reply was also helpful. If you didn't like her at first, I would have introduced her to my nephew immediately. Such a good girl is hard to come by."
Ke Jing laughed: "Sister, you are just teasing me. Others may not know what kind of person I like, but how can you not understand? Besides, the Niuhulu family is destined to be ours. You can't take it away from us even if you try to steal it."
Buerhe: "Okay, okay, I know Yuanshou and he have a good relationship. Besides, I was just using an analogy. However, if Yuanshou hadn't liked her then, I really wanted to introduce her to my family. I like this girl in every way. Now Yuanshou and I are living a prosperous life. I heard that you are pregnant now. I think when I return to Beijing, you will be able to hear the good news of becoming a grandmother."
Speaking of this, Ke Jing was also very yearning: "I don't know if Yuanshou has blamed me all these years. Who will my grandson look like after he is born?"
"Puchi" Burhe laughed directly: "That's easy, then you can come back to the capital with me. We have grandchildren now, why not go and see them? He's the eldest grandson! Besides, Yuanshou has been in the capital for quite some time, it's time to return to Khalkha to stabilize his position as the crown prince. I think after Niuhulu gives birth to the child, I will follow you back to Khalkha."
Ke Jing looked at Buerhe in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
When Ke Jing saw the serious look in Bull's eyes, her heart was shaken. Only then did she realize that this was no mere joke. Then, tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Yuanshou had left her when she was young and lived alone in the capital. Although she knew that Burhe and her aunt could take good care of him in the capital, she had married the leader of the Khalkha, and Yuanshou was the crown prince. To ensure the Khalkha's loyalty to the court, Yuanshou had no choice but to stay in the capital.
However, even so, she was still worried about Yuanshou's personal safety all the time, and her heart was always filled with deep guilt towards her son.
It was after the joyous news of his second brother's successful ascension to the throne that Ke Jing finally relaxed a little. After all, given the current situation, Yuanshou's life was undoubtedly in the most reliable hands. Furthermore, at least there was Burhe who could wholeheartedly protect him.
Next, it was time to find a wife for Yuanshou. This matter filled Kejing with a state of unease. She was unsure whether Yuanshou would be satisfied with his upcoming wife. After all, they had left Yuanshou alone in the capital for so many years, and they felt deeply indebted to him. If they were to forcefully interfere with his marriage now, it would be excessive.
Fortunately, Yuanshou and Niuhulu got along very well in the end. The couple respected each other and loved each other very much, which really made Kejing feel relieved.
Buerhe gently wiped away Ke Jing's tears with a handkerchief. "Okay, sister knows how hard you've been, and Yuanshou has never blamed you. All these years of hardship have finally ended and happiness is finally here. Now think about it, you will be reunited as a family soon. Shouldn't you smile happily now? Crying again will ruin the mood! Okay, let's stop crying."
Ke Jing nodded and wiped away all the tears. "Yes, sister is right. I have to make arrangements to pack good things and go to the capital to see my grandson. How can I have so much time to cry now? The future is full of good days. There is really no need to cry!"
Bull was relieved: "Oh, that's right. It's absolutely right for you to think so. Well, let's not let the children laugh at us. Let's pack up and get out!"
After being reminded, Ke Jing looked straight at Ha Lin below, but at this moment Ha Lin had learned her lesson, and with Qi'er's reminder, she had already sneaked out when Ke Jing was crying, so she just avoided Ke Jing's sharp eye attack.
