The Qing Dynasty’s Beloved Little Princess, Age Three and a Half

At first, she was a young grassland princess forcibly kept in the capital: quiet, rarely showing her cleverness, and a hostage the Great Qing used to control the Abagai.

He was a prince of such exalted status that no one in the palace dared provoke him lightly.

Later, she became the Jade Princess of the Forbidden City, seemingly spoiled and willful, but in truth vulnerable and stubborn.

He was her close companion, a dependable protector who kept others from bullying her.

Two people who should have had nothing to do with each other were forced by imperial power and family ties to stake their whole lives on one another.

Later still, the Tenth Prince decided the little grassland princess must have something wrong with her head. She could take her pick of all the fine young men, yet she chose him, a useless fool.

The little princess: “Is he… getting a good deal and still complaining?”

The Tenth Prince: “I’m going to the palace to ask for an imperial decree divorcing you!”

The Tenth Princess: “Go on, then. If you don’t, you’re no man!”

The Tenth Prince: “I’m speechless…”

How had he ever thought the woman in front of him was cheerful and lively, straightforward and simple?

So Mongolians really can be cunning after all!

Who said she was Mongolian?
