Chapter 313 Fu Jin 21

Qiqi's dowry has been packed. Prince Wuerjin Galapu and his wife love their little daughter very much, so they enlarged each dowry box and filled it up. Don't underestimate the wealth of the Mongolian grasslands. They are not short of gold, silver and jewelry. On the grasslands, although some jewelry is scarce, there are many other spoils! Moreover, over the years, the Abahai tribe has strengthened exchanges with the outside world and has become richer through trade.

They would not consider whether the dowry they prepared would exceed that of the Crown Princess and the wives of the above princes. After all, the situations between the two were completely different.

They gave a lot, on the one hand because they valued Qiqige, and on the other hand they hoped that the people in the capital would remember this and not dare to offend her easily. In addition, what they gave was far more than the dowry that Qiqige took away, but also included the manors, houses, shops and other properties they had bought in Daqing over the years.

"Eji, Eqige...my daughter is gone, you have to take good care of yourselves..." Qiqige said with tears in her eyes and a sore nose: "Eqige, you should drink less in the future. Your health is not good, you must take care of it! And Eji, don't forget to go out for a walk and exercise every day." Qiqige was reluctant to leave, because after going to the Forbidden City, she didn't know when she would see Eqige and Eji again.

"Qiqige, Eji knows. You can go without worry. Just be careful on your way!" Fu Jin said gently, holding back her tears.

"Qiqige, Eqige is always here, wish you a safe journey!" Prince Wuerjin Galapu held his wife tightly, and said to Qiqige with reluctance on his face.

Qiqige looked back every few steps and slowly followed Morigen towards the carriage.

"Qiqige, if you suffer any grievances in the Qing Dynasty, remember to write to us. Aha will definitely support you. Don't let yourself be wronged, and don't let yourself be unhappy." Morigen looked at his sister beside him earnestly, his heart full of worry and reluctance.

"Aha, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. And this time Bater Aha will send me there, he will definitely take good care of me. But Aha, you must remember what we said." Qiqige comforted gently.

Mo Rigen nodded to show that he understood. He recalled the previous conversation with Qi Qige and knew that only by solving those problems could he really help her.

"Don't worry, Qiqige, I won't forget. I believe things will get better. It's getting late now, you should get in the car." Morigen said.

Qiqige nodded gently and turned to walk towards the carriage. Before entering the carriage, she looked back again and looked at Eji, Eqige and Aha affectionately. Her eyes finally stopped at the familiar place of her home and tribe where she had lived for many years, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, buried this attachment deep in her heart, and then resolutely got into the carriage.

Bater stood quietly by the side, listening carefully to Eqige's instructions. When he saw Qiqige boarding the carriage, he waved goodbye to Eqige and Eji. With an order, the whole team slowly moved. Hundreds of warriors from various tribes, four by four, surrounded the carriage full of dowry. They rode their horses forward, as if to show the world their respect and blessings for Qiqige.

Bater rode on a tall horse, his eyes focused and determined. He led this huge team and escorted Qiqige to the distance. Along the way, the sound of horse hooves echoed on the grassland, raising a cloud of dust. Their figures gradually went farther and farther, and finally disappeared from sight.

Prince Wuerjin Galapu, his wife, and Morigen stood there and watched them go farther and farther away until the long team disappeared on the horizon, and finally not even a small black dot could be seen.

During the journey, Qiqige sometimes rode a horse and sometimes took a carriage, enjoying the grassland scenery that was different from before. When they stepped into the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Qiqige chose to sit in a carriage instead of riding a horse. She understood that once she entered the Qing Dynasty, as a candidate for selection, she must abide by the rules of the Qing Dynasty.

Erile also kept hovering near the team. At first, Qiqige planned to leave Erile with Abahai, but it refused. So Qiqige let it move with the team. During the day, Erile would fly farther and only fly back above the team at night. In order to make it easier for Erile to rest, Qiqige even had someone modify the top of the carriage and put Erile's favorite things on it so that it could rest when it was tired.

After a long journey, enduring wind and rain, and exhausting travel, they finally arrived in the capital in August.

Prince Wuerjin Galapu had already sent someone to inform Kangxi in advance that his son Bater would lead everyone to escort Qiqige to Beijing.

Therefore, when Battelle arrived in the capital, he first went to one of their houses in the capital.

"Aha, we have just arrived here and need to inform the palace first. I believe we will be summoned to the palace soon." After getting off the horse, Qiqige sat in the hall with Bater. She gently stroked the whip in her hand, with a determined light in her eyes.

"That's right, Qiqige, the Empress Dowager will definitely summon you. And I will ask around in the capital to understand the Tenth Prince's personality and behavior." Bater said. He remembered what Eqige had told him, that once he arrived in the capital, his first priority would be to send someone to investigate the Tenth Prince's situation so that he could prepare a response plan in advance.

"Aha, you're right. But I think they might come to me in a few days." Qiqige raised her lips slightly, revealing a confident smile. Over the years, she and the Tenth Prince have been keeping in touch through letters, and they have a certain understanding of each other's situation. Now, she is fully prepared.

Qiqige has not lost contact with the Tenth Prince over the years. Firstly, the Tenth Prince is a greedy person. He ate up all the snacks Qiqige sent him in just a few days. Secondly, the Tenth Prince couldn't wait to write to her not long after they separated, sharing his experiences and interesting things along the way. In fact, all of this was pushed by Concubine Wenxi. She arranged for someone to deliver the letter and informed Kangxi of the matter to pave the way. The purpose was to allow Yin'e and Qiqige to have more contact, enhance their feelings for each other, and lay a good foundation for their future marriage.

Therefore, over the years, Qiqige has gotten to know the Tenth Prince a little, but what was written in the letter cannot be fully believed, and she needs to send someone to find out more.
