There are also differences in how we treat different princes and princesses.
For example, as the eldest princess, Ying Yinman is the head of the princesses. She is also the most respected among the princesses, and the maternal line is also the most powerful.
"Yinman has reached the age to talk about marriage!" Fusu said slowly while looking at his sister.
Ying Yinman shuddered, she had indeed reached the age to talk about marriage. Because of Ying Zheng's favor, she was able to hold off, but a woman would eventually get married.
When it comes to marriage, as members of the clan, they actually have no free choice.
More often than not, they will become the emperor's weight to win over powerful ministers.
"Brother, are you going to choose a husband for Yin Man?" Ying Yin Man also knew that this matter was inevitable. Even if the First Emperor came back, as long as Fusu persisted, she would eventually become a victim of the royal power.
"Does Yin Man have someone he likes?" Fusu looked at Ying Yin Man and continued to ask.
Ying Yinman shook her head, no matter yes or no, her answer could not be yes.
If there really is, and the identity gap between the other party and her is too big, the consequences will be that the whole family will be completely wiped out.
"Really or falsely?" Fusu looked at Ying Yinman with a smile and continued to ask.
"Really not, everything is decided by the father and the prince's brother!" Ying Yinman said bitterly.
"How did I hear that Yin Man was very close to a boy in the house?" Fu Su looked at Ying Yin Man with interest and said.
"No, Yin Man promises it!" Ying Yin Man suddenly became anxious.
"Okay, you don't need to be nervous at all. I came to you today just to tell you that if you don't want to, no one can force you, not even my father!" Fusu promised.
"As long as you are a brother or a prince, no one can force you!"
"Ah?" Ying Yinman looked at Fusu blankly, not expecting Fusu to make such a promise to her.
At first, she thought Fusu would regard her as a victim to win over powerful officials, but she did not expect that Fusu would make such a promise to her.
"It's not just you, the other sisters are also the same. This is the only thing Brother Wei can do for you!"
"Of course, as long as the identity gap between you and the person you want is not too big, my brother can make the decision for you."
Fusu spoke slowly and continued.
"Ah?" Ying Yinman was even more shocked, Fusu actually dared to promise them this.
"I, Da Qin, the Ying clan does not need to be reduced to the point of sacrificing the princess to ensure rights! No matter now or in the future!" Fusu said domineeringly.
This is what he wanted to understand after Qili Ting reminded him of the noble foundation of royal power.
Sacrificing the princess to win over powerful officials actually doesn't have much effect at all.
Once the imperial power weakens, no matter how many princesses are married, those who should rebel will still rebel, so instead of doing this, it is better to ensure the family ties.
"Father?" Ying Yinman looked at Fusu's shadow, and suddenly felt that the figure in front of him seemed to have merged with that domineering father.
"The boys in Qili are good, but your identity is a bit difficult to solve!" Fusu continued with a smile.
"..." A trace of blush appeared on Ying Yinman's face, it turned out that his brother knew everything.
"Sisters need more care from Yin Man. Now that the emperor is not in Xianyang, there are many thoughtful people who have some evil thoughts. The emperor has to supervise the governance of the country before the government, and cannot spare the time to take more care of him. Therefore, Yin Man is needed for this task.
Go and finish it." Fusu continued.
"Brother Prince, don't worry, Yin Man will definitely take care of the sisters for your brother!" Ying Yin Man replied hurriedly.
As the eldest princess, she naturally didn't know the meaning of Fusu's words.
Fusu promised her the right to marry freely, and she naturally had to give something in exchange.
And this exchange is to ensure that the clan is not in chaos and the princesses are self-disciplined.
She also knew very well that before the First Emperor was in Xianyang, many nobles wanted to contact the princesses but did not dare. But now that the First Emperor is gone, these noble children are like sharks that smell fishy, and they may use any despicable means.
Once something unexpected happens, the entire Ying family will become a laughing stock, and Fusu will naturally be punished by the First Emperor.
"Also, Hu Hai has been slacking off a bit recently, so you should pay more attention!" Fusu continued.
Ying Yinman was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the most excited among the princes was Hu Hai. Although he was young, he relied on his youth and his father's favor to commit suicide and follow the powerful ministers of Jiuqing.
too close.
"Prince, eldest brother, don't worry, Yin Man is here!" Ying Yin Man also understood the meaning of Fusu's words.
"My uncle said something, and I think it makes sense!" Fusu continued after seeing that Ying Yinman understood what he meant.
"Brother Prince, please enlighten me!" Ying Yinman was also curious about what Jin Yao said.
"You have to hit your brother early, because he won't be able to beat you when he's too old!" Fusu said with a smile.
"???" Ying Yinman was stunned, what does this mean?
But when I think about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case. When she was a child, she could chase Jiang Lu and beat them, but now, it seems that she really can't beat Jiang Lu and can't fight again.
But Hu Hai was still young, so if she was beaten, she would be beaten, and no censor would impeach her. Unlike her grown-up brothers, such as Jiang Lu, who would be impeached by the censor for saying that it was an insult to the clan.
"Go!" Fusu said with a smile.
"Yin Man excuses himself, brother, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself!" Ying Yin Man nodded, bowed and excused himself, returning to the harem.
"The little tree won't grow straight if it's not repaired!" Fusu smiled slightly as he watched Ying Yinman's figure leave.
It wasn't just once or twice that he felt disgusted by Hu Hai, but because Hu Hai was still young, he couldn't beat him directly like when he first returned to Xianyang. After all, he was now the prince of Qin, so he had to pay attention to his status.
However, Ying Yinman did not take this into account. Does the sister need a reason to beat her disobedient brother?
unnecessary!
"Hu Hai, come here!" When he returned to the harem, Ying Yinman saw Hu Hai chasing bees and butterflies in the back garden. He instantly became angry and scolded him directly.
Hu Hai was stunned, he didn't expect Ying Yinman to come to him.
However, due to the suppression of his bloodline, he still walked up to Ying Yinman honestly.
"Pa~" Ying Yinman slapped Hu Hai on the butt without saying a word.
"Why did Sister Huang hit me?" Hu Hai was stunned. He had no idea what was wrong with him, so he just hit himself.
"What? Do you have any opinions?" Ying Yinman looked at Hu Hai and asked indifferently.
"No!" Hu Hai felt that Ying Yinman's smile contained evil intentions and shook his head decisively, not daring to refute.
"What time is it? Have you read the books you should read? Have you learned the martial arts?" Ying Yinman continued to ask, and then slapped him again.
"..." Hu Hai was stunned. His father didn't force himself to read those obscure books, nor did he force himself to learn those hard-working stances.
I thought that since my father was gone, I would be free and no longer have to study. Who would have thought that the eldest sister would suddenly want to teach me my homework on a whim.
