Chapter 1031: The Dispute between Noble Ladies
Jinling, Forbidden City.

Inside the Yongfu Palace in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden.

Accompanied by palace maids, Dayuer is planting several tea trees that were tributed from Dali.

Outside the palace gate, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps approaching.

Dayuer called upon the palace maids serving her to get up and check.

As the only foreign concubine in the Forbidden City, Dayuer was usually cautious in her words and actions, and did not dare to overstep her authority as recklessly as other concubines.

As a result, before the palace maid could leave, a group of women wearing Mongolian robes walked in.

Dayuer took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"aunt……"

"Yu'er? Yu'er, is it really you?"

Zhezhe didn't expect to see his niece who had been missing for more than a year in the Han imperial palace. For a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.

"Aunt, it's me!"

Dayuer was also very excited when she saw Zhezhe.

Then, she saw her cousin, cousin, and aunt... coming in one after another.

"Why...are you all here?"

Dayuer looked at the beautiful noble ladies of Korchin, almost all of whom appeared in front of her, and instantly thought of the "Northern Expedition" that had just ended.

When Zhezhe saw Dayuer's expression, he knew that she had guessed the whole story. He felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told her the story of the Jurchens' defeat, Manggus' surrender, and the Emperor of Da Zheng's request for Manggus to offer his daughter.

After hearing this, Dayuer could only force a smile and comfort him:
"The Han people have tens of millions of common people, while the Jurchens and Khorchins combined only have three to five million people. How could they possibly be a match for the Zheng Dynasty? Grandpa dared to go crazy with the Jurchens. He should have expected the result to be like this... It's good now. It's good to be a naturalized Mongol prince. I can stay in peace and don't have to think too much anymore."

When a dozen Khorchin noble ladies saw Dayuer, they all gathered around her and asked her how she became the woman of the Han emperor in the year since she disappeared, whether she was living well by the Han emperor's side, whether she was favored, etc.

Faced with questions from her relatives, Dayuer could only explain patiently.

Last year she was captured by Dongfang Bubai and given to Su Mingzhe, who originally asked her to serve in the Qianqing Palace.

Later, Yuan Chonghuan launched a surprise attack on the Jianzhou Jurchens, and a large number of Jianzhou noble ladies were sent to the palace.

Su Mingzhe gave Dayuer the name "Zhuang Fei" and let her live in the Yongfu Palace, and those noble ladies from Jianzhou were arranged under Dayuer's name to serve as royal attendants, beauties, talented women, etc.

Zhezhe and others were also deeply saddened after hearing this.

Tuya, a cousin who had a good relationship with Dayuer, suddenly pulled her aside and whispered:

"Sister Yu'er, your maid Su Mo'er has also been brought here."

"Really?"

Dayuer was delighted. In the past year, she had been staying in the palace. Although she had palace maids and eunuchs serving her, she did not dare to confide in them. She had always been cautious and treaded on thin ice.

If his trusted maid Su Moer came to his side, he would be able to sleep more peacefully.

However, she was delighted at first, and then asked in surprise:

"Why is Su Moer here?"

“I didn’t know the reason at first.”

Tuya looked at her cousin enviously:
"My grandfather presented twelve noble ladies of Khorchin to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty allowed each lady to bring a maid to serve her. Later, His Majesty the Emperor somehow picked Su Moer's name and asked her to take care of my aunt's daughter Makata."

"Ya-Zhe!"

When Zhezhe saw that his niece was calling out his daughter's Jurchen name, he quickly stopped her:
"The Emperor has given Makata a new name. She is now Su Yongning."

Facing her aunt's stern expression, Tuya could only smile awkwardly.

Zhezhe lowered his head and sighed.

She was different from other noble ladies in Khorchin.

Other noble ladies, whether married or not, were childless and were sent by Manggus, so they could serve the Emperor of Zheng without any pressure. When she was sent, she had been married to Huang Taiji for many years and had a daughter, Makata, who was less than one year old.

Although Su Mingzhe was good to Zhezhe, he also gave Makata the name Su Yongning and promised to confer the title of princess of the Great Zheng Dynasty on Su Yongning in the future.

However, this child has no blood relationship with Emperor Zheng after all.

Zhezhe always can't help but worry about what will happen in the future.

Another moment passed.

The maids of the noble ladies were also allowed to come in.

Su Moer and Dayuer were naturally happy when they recognized each other as master and servant.

Zhezhe took her daughter in his arms very considerately and let Dayuer and Su Moer talk in private.

result.

Dayuer had just taken Su Moer back to the side hall where she lived and talked for a while when they heard a quarrel outside.

In desperation, Dayuer could only run out to ask what was going on.

When the people who were arguing saw Dayuer coming out, they immediately started to complain.

After a lot of discussion.

Dayuer barely understood why the girls were arguing.

In addition to the main hall where Dayuer lived, there were also several side halls in Yongfu Palace, with a total of more than fifty houses.

Originally, Dayuer was Concubine Zhuang, with the highest rank, and occupied the main hall of Yongfu Palace.

The other noble ladies of Jianzhou lived in nearby side halls.

With Dayuer's deliberate efforts, although everyone was not very close, they had always lived in peace.

This time, the Khorchin noble ladies were also arranged by the emperor to live in the Yongfu Palace.

Although the house was large enough, the remaining empty rooms were not cleaned all year round and were filled with a lot of miscellaneous items.

When Tuya and other Khorchin noble ladies opened the door, they saw that the room was covered with dust, dilapidated and had gaps, and they were immediately dissatisfied.

After all, in the eyes of these Khorchin noble ladies, the Jianzhou noble ladies should be reduced to low-ranking maids because of the failure of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they, the Khorchin, were the ones who were implicated and had already surrendered to the Great Zheng, so they should live in a better palace.

Besides, Concubine Zhuang of Yongfu Palace, Dayuer, was also a noble lady of Khorchin.

Therefore, these Khorchin noble ladies asked the Jianzhou noble ladies to give up their good rooms.

The noble lady of Jianzhou lived a good life, so how could she be willing to give up her house and live in a dilapidated shabby house?

The situation became tense for a moment.

If these ladies hadn't known that the time and place were wrong, they might have started a fight.

Dayuer felt a headache after hearing this, so she could only ask both parties to stop arguing. After thinking for a moment, she spoke:

"Since we can't live in peace, let's separate! There is also a Yongning Palace next to the Yongfu Palace, where the 'Jingfei' lives. I will go to the emperor and see if we can let you live in the Yongning Palace..."

soon.

Dayuer came to the Qianqing Palace.

Su Mingzhe, who was reviewing memorials, heard that the noble lady of Jianzhou Jurchen and the noble lady of Khorchin were having a conflict, and he couldn't help but laugh:
"I arranged for you to live together because I thought that your two tribes had a good relationship and could take care of each other. Now it seems that I was not thoughtful enough."

Dayuer smiled implicitly.

As the master of Yongfu Palace, he was actually unable to do anything about the noble ladies of the two clans. It's quite embarrassing to say it out loud.

Su Mingzhe thought for a moment and said:

"How about this, don't let them go to Yongning Palace, let them go to the Leopard Room!"
