I just want to live a happy life

Chapter 269: Startling Steps - 4 Fu Jin 15

So she collected these petals and made them into peach blossom wine, delicious food, or skin care products.

In her space, she also built a special room to store wine. It was filled with the finest wines she had obtained from her previous visit to another world, as well as the wine she brewed herself.

The space is filled with spiritual energy, and after being nourished by the spiritual energy, the wines taste better.

Yu Ludai took a sip of peach blossom wine and looked at the various precious trees that had grown very tall in the distance, as well as various fruits and vegetables. He felt very good.

After taking out his tablet and watching a movie, Yu Ludai didn't stay here for long and left the space.

After a while, it was the day of the Mid-Autumn family dinner.

Previously, because Yu Ludai mentioned at the birthday party of Tenth Prince Yinzhen that the Eighth Concubine might be pregnant, Mingyu was worried about her sister, so she stayed by the Eighth Concubine's side to take care of her and did not leave.

Naturally, there was no fight between Ruoxi and Mingyu, and neither of them fell into the water. Ruoxi did not get the title of the Desperate Thirteenth Sister because of this.

And except for the Eighth Prince who has a special feeling for Ruolan, the other princes don't have any good feelings towards her.

The Tenth Prince Yin originally had a good impression of her, but when he saw her going crazy in the water, and saw that she asked Qiaohui to find her and said she wanted to give him a gift but nothing happened, he thought that he was a prince and had pride, and he gradually lost his good impression of such a person who did not keep her word.

So because of one change, everything has changed now, and Ruoxi naturally does not get any special treatment from the emperor.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, each prince expressed his blessings to the emperor.

When the tenth prince Yinzhen finished speaking, the emperor said to Concubine Hui beside him as if he was just chatting, "Yinzhen is old enough, it's time for him to get married."

Concubine Hui continued, "Yes, Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty has chosen a wife who is a good match for Yinzhen?"

The princes heard the hidden meaning in the words. They were smiling just now, but now they stopped talking after hearing this topic and were watching to see how things would develop next.

The emperor thought about it, and the first person that came to his mind was the Eighth Concubine's sister, Guo Luoluo Mingyu. But he heard that she had been arranged to marry into a family some time ago. At this point, he realized that this candidate was really not suitable.

Yinsi and Yinsi have always been very close. If Yinsi marries Guo Luoluo and Mingyu, wouldn't that increase their support? He never wanted his son Yinsi to ascend the throne, so it would be most appropriate to choose a wife who would completely cut off his possibility of succession.

Thinking of this, the emperor said, "I think Borjigit is good, Yin? What do you think?"

Yin was stunned: "This..., Emperor Father."

Emperor: "Well? You don't want to?"

Yinzhen knelt down quickly and said, "I dare not. I thank the Emperor."

The emperor then nodded with satisfaction.

Yinzhen's marriage was settled, and the other princes stood up from their seats and came to the side of the tenth prince Yinzhen with smiles. Whether they were sincere or not, they all congratulated Yinzhen on getting such a good marriage.

The tenth prince Yinzhen did not object much, but he was a little slow to react when he first heard about the choice of his principal wife, because the principal wives of other princes were all chosen from the Manchu military flags, but in his case, the principal wife was from Mongolia.

“A son is honored by his mother, and a mother is honored by her son.”

According to the principle that a son's status is determined by his mother's, he is the second most noble among the many princes, except for the second prince.

He had no interest in the throne in the first place, and he married a woman from Mongolia. In the eyes of other princes, he was a non-threatening person. Once he got married, he could live a life of his own without being feared.

Besides, his wife was of high birth, so of course he agreed.

For the ambitious princes, they were all in a good mood because a potential threat was eliminated through an arranged marriage. Congratulations to Yin? These words were more heartfelt.

Yu Ludai sat below and watched the lively scene above. Without Ruoxi's interference, Yinzhen married the legitimate wife in history this time.

This wife was a little princess on the grassland. She came from the Abagai tribe and was the daughter of Duolo Prince Urjin Galap. Her surname was Borjigit.

The Abagai tribe was a large Mongolian tribe. Although it was not as influential as the Khorchin tribe, it also had great influence. Many concubines in the early Qing Dynasty came from this tribe, such as Huang Taiji's Concubine Yijing and Concubine Kanghui.

Later, the Qing Dynasty also had many marriages with this tribe.

It can be said that among the many wives of Kangxi's sons, Borjigit's daughter-in-law's background is definitely one of the best.

Yu Ludai didn't expect that just changing Concubine De's fate would lead to such a big change.

This time, it is completely impossible for Ruoxi to gain the favor of the princes as in the original plot.

Yu Ludai glanced at Ruoxi. Ruoxi was staring blankly at the scene where the princes were congratulating the Tenth Prince on his granted marriage, and she was very confused.

Why, doesn’t he have the most honorable status?

Why did this most honorable status deprive him of the most precious thing, freedom.

Imperial power is really terrible. Nothing is free here.

This is true for a small person like her, and even for the noble princes. Thinking of this, she looked at the Tenth Prince with sympathy.

The Tenth Prince had no right to freely choose his marriage, so the same should be true for the other princes.

No wonder, she saw that those princes did not have any intimate behavior towards their wives. She thought that in their hearts, they did not like the wife their royal father had appointed.

Looking at the dignified and elegant appearance of these ladies, one can't help but feel sympathy and pity for them.

Ruoxi clenched her fists. She absolutely did not want to live a loveless life like this. She did not want to be forced to marry someone she did not love. She would never become one of them.

That would be worse than killing her.

Yu Ludai certainly felt the vague sympathetic look from Ruoxi. She didn't know what she was thinking about, she just felt that she was sick.

No matter how much Ruoxi thought about it, it was useless. She thought she had traveled through time from the modern era and was independent of this environment. But how was that possible? She was now Ruoxi, and her destiny was being swept away by this era. There were some things she could not control no matter how hard she tried.

Just like after the selection, she had no choice but to decide what to do, whether to serve as a maid in the palace or to get married. She had no say in this.

Obviously, Ruoxi hasn't thought of this yet.

She naively thought that with her brains and wisdom, she would be able to think of a good way to save herself and gain her freedom.

But something happened that caught Ruoxi off guard, as she had not yet figured out a way to gain her freedom.
