While enjoying seafood delicacies in Taiji Hall and Baifu Palace, the entire palace knew that Prince Ning's Mansion had sent top-quality seafood to Emperor Yun Zhao and Concubine Yun Zhao.
Anren Palace.
"Why is it Prince Ning's Mansion again? Are they used to sending things to Baifu Palace?" Yan Ai said angrily after hearing about Prince Ning's Mansion delivering seafood to the palace.
"What's going on in Prince Ning's Mansion? Does it show his filial piety? Is he the only one who has filial piety? He sends things to the palace every day, what? Do you want to show that the other royal brothers have no filial piety?" Yan Ai is really very
of anger.
She doesn't like the people in Baifu Palace, she doesn't like Yan Lizhou and Yan Long, and she doesn't want the people in Baifu Palace to live well at all.
When she heard that Prince Ning was about to die soon, she was still hoping that he would die soon. She had so many brothers dead and what happened to a half-brother with whom she had no good relationship at all? He was not a sibling of hers.
's brother is dead.
Concubine Zhou poked her daughter's forehead and said, "Don't talk nonsense outside. It's a good thing that your Nine Emperor Brother has filial piety."
I don’t know if this is a good thing for others, but for Emperor Yun Zhao and Concubine Yun Gui, it is a good thing. Why is it not a good thing for a son to be filial?
Yan Ai is still aggrieved. Is Prince Ning stepping on her brother to build his own reputation?
"Well, your brother and the others have also given gifts to the mother and concubine. They won't let Prince Ning focus on beauty." Concubine Zhou said to calm her daughter's emotions.
Her two sons were also very kind to her. After Yan Lizhou sent things to Baifu Palace from time to time, her two sons would certainly not have the reputation of being unfilial and would also give her things.
Of course, except for the King of Chu and the King of Zhao, the other princes and princes will certainly not let themselves get the reputation of being unfilial. Those princes are very filial.
Of course, after the beginning of spring, the princes who had acquired fiefdoms basically left Chang'an one after another. They all went to fiefdoms.
The reason why we were mostly in Chang'an before was because the New Year was approaching, and these princes and princes were coming back to celebrate the New Year, and by the way, they would visit Yan Lizhou and attend Yan Lizhou's wedding.
Now that the New Year has passed, and spring has begun, these princes have also left Chang'an and returned to their fiefdoms one after another.
The reason why Yan Lizhou stayed in Chang'an was of course because his health was not yet good and he had not been in Chang'an all year round, so he planned to keep him for a while.
Yan Ai thought of her two royal brothers and said angrily, "Why does Prince Ning still stay in Chang'an? Brother and the others have all returned to their fiefdoms."
"Didn't Prince Ning also have a fief? Why is he still staying in Chang'an?" Yan Ai was really upset. Her brother had returned to the fief and could not stay in Chang'an. Why should Yan Lizhou do it?
You must know that among Emperor Yun Zhao's adult princes, only Yan Lizhou remains in Chang'an. He has not established a prince, so all the princes have to go to fiefdoms. When will Emperor Yun Zhao establish a prince and then he will stay in Chang'an.
Even the unmarried Yan Lichuan and Yan Lixue have gone to their fiefdoms. They are both fifteen this year and still unmarried, but they have both been granted kingships and fiefdoms, and they will be granted vassal status as soon as the time comes.
"Ai'er!" Concubine Zhou frowned.
Concubine Zhou is a very stable person. Although she is not the smartest person in the harem, she is not stupid for being a concubine who has been favored from the beginning.
The reason why Yan Ai is so restless is simply because she is the youngest child of Imperial Concubine Zhou, and there is a big age gap between her and her brother, so she is spoiled to the point of losing her temper.
Concubine Zhou was also reluctant to bear hardships for her daughter. She did not want to feel wronged by any of the three children she had worked so hard to raise, especially this little daughter.
"Ai'er, Prince Ning has been away from Chang'an for many years before. This time, because he was injured and newly married, Your Majesty asked him to stay in Chang'an for a longer time." Concubine Zhou gently explained to her daughter, "Don't worry, after half a year, your Majesty will let him stay in Chang'an."
He also has to go and become a feudal lord."
"Ai'er, don't worry, you must be the most noble princess." Concubine Zhou comforted her daughter while holding her in her arms.
As long as her son ascends the throne and becomes emperor, her only daughter will be the most respected princess, not even the daughters of the two queens can compare to her daughter.
What about the eldest princess Zhaoyang? She doesn’t have any brothers from the same mother, so when her father, who dotes on her, dies, she will have no one to rely on.
What about the daughters born to the queen? As long as her son becomes the emperor, then her daughter's status will of course be more noble than theirs.
Concubine Zhou still felt itchy with hatred when she thought of Empress Mu. Among the concubines in the palace, who she hated the most was definitely Empress Mu.
Concubine Yun, a concubine who was said to be on an equal footing with her, seemed to Concubine Zhou to be unqualified to be her opponent.
After all, she had been a concubine for more than ten years before being promoted to a noble concubine because of her strong natal family. She had only given birth to a son and a daughter over the years. A woman who was not favored by His Majesty was not qualified to be her opponent.
What she hates most is Empress Mu who stole her position as queen.
What she hopes most is that her child can become the emperor and trample all the Queen Mu and her children under her feet.
When she becomes the Queen Mother, will she still care about a queen who is the late emperor's wife? Perhaps, by then, Empress Mu can be allowed to go with Emperor Yun Zhao, thereby extinguishing her reputation as Empress Mu's infatuated majesty.
Concubine Zhou held her daughter in her arms and stroked her long hair. She suppressed her hatred for Queen Mu and said to her daughter, "Ai'er, you have grown up, what kind of consort do you want to marry?"
"Or, does the mother-in-law ask your father to recruit a wife?" Zhou Guifei said, looking at the daughter in her arms.
Although it is said that the royal princess only lives in the princess mansion even if she gets married, which is different from the girls who get married from ordinary families, Concubine Zhou still feels that she has wronged her daughter and it would be good to find a son-in-law.
"Can I recruit a wife?" Yan Ai raised her head and looked at her mother and concubine in surprise, but her joy was only for a moment, and she soon became depressed. "If I recruit a wife, my father will probably not agree."
Even the eldest princess whom his father loved the most was married off instead of marrying into a wife. Why would his father let her marry into a wife? And what kind of good thing could a child-in-law be?
Those arrogant husbands are not willing to be a son-in-law. What kind of outstanding men are willing to be a son-in-law?
"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to have a son-in-law." Yan Ai told her mother-in-law her thoughts. She believed that a man who could be a son-in-law would not be a good husband at all. Her husband should be the best and the best.
The gentleman is the one.
"Concubine, my daughter likes a husband with outstanding literary talents. There should be an imperial examination this year, right? My daughter wants to marry an outstanding husband." Yan Ai looked at her mother-in-law with bright eyes and said.
Concubine Zhou looked at her daughter's appearance, smiled softly and said, "Okay, concubine, I will find a man with good literary talent for our Ai'er. He must be either the top scholar or the top pick."
Zhou, who was born in a noble family, naturally likes literati. She doesn't like military generals at all, and it is even more impossible for her daughter to marry a husband from a military general's family.
She will find a suitable husband for her daughter. The number one scholar or the most beautiful man who comes out of the imperial examination every three years is very good.
Of course, the person her daughter wants to marry cannot be a poor student. You must know that the number one scholar in the last class is from a wealthy family, and the one in this class should be the same.
Of course, the person her daughter wants to marry must be good-looking, talented, and have a good family background, and he must live the most comfortable and happy life after getting married.
