Chapter 323 Fu Jin 30

Therefore, when Kangxi heard that his beloved son actually lacked sufficient funds to support his concubines, he could not help but feel very surprised and confused. What made him even more incomprehensible was that Yin'e actually thought that he had to pay for the support of others when he personally favored his concubines, and the key was that he had no interest in these concubines. In the end, he came to a conclusion that he felt that he was at a disadvantage! This way of thinking is really ridiculous and speechless. Kangxi thought to himself: I don’t know how Yin'e thinks about the problem? It’s incredible! Thinking about it like this, Kangxi suddenly realized a problem, that is, he has been raising dozens of concubines. Does it mean that he has also suffered heavy losses? Thinking of this, Kangxi suddenly felt like a fishbone stuck in his throat, but he quickly warned himself not to continue thinking deeply. After all, no matter how he persuaded, he couldn’t change the status quo, so let it go.

After all, even if the Tenth Prince made more trouble, he could only become a prince at most. If he didn't want to take a concubine, then let him do it. But if the prince had a similar situation, Kangxi would definitely be furious and investigate whether there were other factors behind the incident that led the prince to have such an idea. However, for Yin'e, his position in Kangxi's heart was different. Kangxi believed that Yin'e's words and deeds would not have much impact, and might even play a certain positive role. For example, it could deter those speculators who tried to get close to Yin'e and stop trying to take advantage of him.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, this day has come. At dawn, when it was still early, Qiqige woke up slowly to the gentle call of her mother. She was sleepy, but she got up quickly and began to wash and dress.

Mrs. Wufu skillfully combed Qiqige's hair and braided it into an exquisite bun, while she chanted something, praying for good luck to come to this woman who was about to enter the marriage hall. Then came the face-twisting ceremony, where delicate silk threads gently crossed her face, removing excess hair and making her skin smoother and more delicate.

Finally, Qiqige put on the extremely heavy but gorgeous headdress, as if she was holding a shining starry sky. Her body was also wrapped in a heavy and solemn wedding dress, and every detail showed nobility and luxury. At this moment, everything was ready, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive.

Finally, the time came, Qiqige gently put on the bright red veil, like a shy flower waiting to bloom. Then, she was carried steadily on the back of her Bater Aha and slowly walked out of the door.

"Qiqige, you must take good care of yourself no matter when and where. If you suffer any grievance, don't keep it in your heart, and be sure to speak it out without reservation. Even if I am thousands of miles away and on the vast grassland, I, Aha, will definitely come to support you without hesitation!" Bater whispered, feeling the familiar body temperature and weight of his sister behind him. This girl, who has been pampered and cared for by the whole family since she was a child and is as precious as a jewel in the palm of her hand, has now grown up and is about to marry someone else. Thinking of this, Bater couldn't help but feel reluctant, but he knew that this was the only way in life, and he could only silently bless her and watch her go to the other side of happiness. So, he took firm and steady steps, walked forward step by step, and handed his beloved sister to another man in person...

"Aha, I've remembered that Qiqige can't go home often in the future. Aha, you, Eqige Eji, and Morigen Aha must all be well." Qiqige lay on Bater Aha's back. She felt at ease feeling this broad arm. After hearing this, her eyes felt sore and her nose felt sour.
