Chapter 228: No trace of scheming

Zhezhe is the eldest, living in Qingning Palace on the east side, and Burbutai is the second, living in Cining Palace on the west side.

"The emperor's father, the regent, is here!" Dorgon entered the Cining Palace. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, the eunuch of the Cining Palace leader Hu Jinzhong shouted in the voice of a duck.

With just this sentence, all the palace maids and eunuchs in Cining Palace lowered their heads like the wind blowing grass.

"Brother Deng, are you here?" Bulftai happily greeted him like a little swallow. When he saw Dorgon's eyes flashed, his affection was as thick as water, as if it was about to flow out.

Dorgon's nickname is "Erden" in Mandarin, which means "light".

Burbute is one year younger than Dorgon, but because she was born in Mongolia and raised in the palace, her early grassland career and the palace's rich and elegant clothes made her look agile and upright, her skin is firm and tender, and her voice is crisp and beautiful, beautiful but not gorgeous. No matter how you look at it, she is like a grassland girl, she can't tell at all that she is already a middle-aged woman of thirty-four years old.

"Yu'er, I'm here." Dorgon could feel the affection of Burbutai for him. Similarly, he was filled with joy when he saw her, just like the first time he met on the grassland.

Boulbutai's nickname is "Yu'er".

Burbutai walked over with a smile, holding Dorgon's hand, Dorgon reached out to her shoulder, and the two walked into the palace as if no one was around.

Burbutai gave Dorgon to the main seat and sat down, and then ordered the palace maid: "Give the prince a generous dress."

The palace maids walked forward and helped Dorgon take the long gown outside. Another palace maid came over, holding a golden basin of scarf and comb in his hands. Burbutai personally took the scarf and comb Dorgon's face and comb his hair.

"Brother Deng, you look bad, are you too tired?" After finishing your work, Burbutai sat next to Dorgon and asked with concern.

"It's not that I'm too tired, but something happened today that made me some effort." Dorgon sighed.

"You just have to make big decisions and let Ganglin and the others do those meticulous tasks. Why are you so tired? You are so iron-covered, how many nails can you make? Brother Deng, your body is important, don't be too tired. You have to think about your Yu'er, right?" Bulftai said with heartache.

Seeing her like that, she looked like a little wife who cared for her husband and loved her and chattered.

...

Speaking of which, Dorgon and Burbutai are not just a simple relationship between uncle and sister-in-law.

When Bulftai was thirteen years old, he was named the concubine as her aunt Zhezhe. At that time, the fourteen-year-old Dorgon went to Korchin to welcome Bulftai on behalf of his brother.

Not only is Bulftai very beautiful, but also has a cheerful personality and a manly spirit; while Dorgon is young and handsome, heroic and bold, exudes a bookish spirit.

The boy and girl are already in love, and they are both the best, but they fall in love with each other at first sight.

The two of them were not as subtle as the Han people. They both expressed their love in a straightforward manner, and they were stuck together along the way.

According to Dorgon's idea, after returning to Shengjing, he asked the emperor to let Burbutai marry him. This idea seemed incredible to the Han people. How could the elder brother's concubine marry his younger brother? But he didn't care much about this. Not to mention that he had not gotten married, even if he became a relative, it would not be a big deal for his brother to marry his elder sister-in-law and his elder sister-in-law. Even if his uncle takes niece and his son marry his father's concubine, he would not criticize him.

However, Dorgon thought too well. Huang Taiji was the emperor after all, so he did not allow Burbutai to remarry for the sake of face. In addition, because of the "Taizu Records", Huang Taiji valued Dorgon and guarded him. On the surface, he valued him very much, but in fact he secretly added twelve points of caution.

Therefore, after returning to Shengjing, the two people who fell in love were separated. But their relationship never ended. Although sometimes it was not very satisfying to look at each other through family banquets, we could see the deep love of each other from the glances of each other.

After Huang Taiji died suddenly, Dorgon felt that the opportunity had come. His twenty-year relationship with Yu'er could finally have a result. The emperor's brother passed away and the throne was empty. He had the greatest influence in the court and the possibility of becoming an emperor was also the greatest. As long as he became the emperor, he could take Yu'er as his concubine. Even if he could not become an emperor, he would ask for a wife in the imperial examination as a prince, and no one would say anything.

However, unexpectedly, he and Haoge fought over and over, but the throne fell on Fulin.

Many people in the court said that Dorgon was unwilling to let Manchus fall into internal strife due to the overall situation, so Fulin ascended the throne. In fact, others did not know that the reason why he gave in was because Fulin was the son of Yu'er. If it were the child born by another concubine, Dorgon would never be so generous.

However, he did make sacrifices, and what he sacrificed was his love and marriage with Yu'er.

The mother is noble because of her son, and Yu'er becomes the empress dowager. It would be inappropriate for him to marry the empress dowager. In fact, he had this idea, but he was blocked by Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and other Chinese officials in the court.

Fan Wencheng's reason is very simple. Although the empress dowager's marriage seems nothing to the Manchus, it is inappropriate to the Han people and cannot stand up in virtue.

Another point is that the emperor will rule the world in the future, unlike when he was outside the pass, only Manchus and Han people accounted for the vast majority. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he had to save face for the emperor.

Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, this proposal was approved by most officials. In order to stabilize the government and not leave any verbal talk to the political enemy, Dorgon had to give up his request for the imperial sister-in-law.

Although the two did not become formal couples, as the regent, Dorgon was prohibited from entering and leaving the palace as if he were walking on flat ground, and staying overnight in the palace was like his own family. He actually had the same wife as Yu'er.

The civil and military officials in the court failed to seek marriage to the emperor's sister-in-law and felt that they had owed Prince Rui, so they turned a blind eye and no one took this matter seriously.

...

"Today's affairs are indeed very dangerous. If you deal with it improperly, you may be in danger of destroying the country." Dorgon naturally understood Yu'er's affection. She really cared about herself, and even her concubine might not be as good as her.

"Ah?" Yu'er was shocked when she heard this and her face changed color: "Brother Deng, why is it so dangerous? Brother Deng, it's not Yu'er's interference in the government affairs. You really scared Yu'er."

"It's okay, it's okay to talk to you. I'm going to borrow someone from you." Dorgon didn't care, and then talked about Boluo's defeat and briefly talked about the countermeasures.

Yu'er listened quietly, without a word, sometimes making fear and worry, sometimes giving off a long breath, looking at Dorgon with an extremely admiring look, as if praising him for being so calm, smart, wise, and so timely, correct and impeccable.

Yu'er's expression fell into Dorgon's eyes, and a pleasure of conquest rose to his heart.
