Xie Xiaoman remembered that the eldest prince's concubine Han Yuanniang, later Queen Xuanzong, married into the royal family in the 23rd year of Jianyan's reign.
Before that, she had often visited Concubine Wu's Ninghua Palace. After all, everyone knew that she had been destined to be the eldest son of Guan Zhao as her bride since she was born.
When Xie Xiaoman saw her for the first time, Han Yuanniang was only fifteen or sixteen years old. At that time, she only saw a little girl in a silver-red narrow-sleeved robe. Her braids were tied up, her skin was like snow, her face was like a full moon, and her eyes were full of energy.
When he saw her, he smiled and said, "You must be Mrs. Xie from the official family. The little girl Han Yuanniang is so polite."
Xie Xiaoman, while paying half a courtesy, noticed that Han Yuanniang bowed rather than bowed her skirt, and the maids behind her were all dressed in wild clothes. It was just that it was difficult to carry weapons in the palace.
She had lived in the palace for a long time, so she couldn't help but be curious. After a little inquiry, she found out that there were a lot of rumors about Miss Han. It was said that she was different from her twin brother Long Wen, who was the opposite of his father.
Dong Dong was so favored by King Qin of Han that he built a fifty-person army of Makui for her using his clients.
It is said that Han Shizhong fought with Xixia for half his life and learned a lot of their essence. For example, he promoted the Beiwei Army in all armies of the Song Dynasty. The folk customs of the party are strong, men, women and children are all good at riding and shooting, and women can also join the army.
It's Ma Kui. Of course, the population and culture of the Song Dynasty are not suitable for this, but it does not prevent Han Shizhong from giving his daughter a small personal guard.
The girl from the Han family is also very sensible. Every time she takes Ma Kui out for hunting, she always gives some game to her future mother-in-law. Concubine Wu also followed Zhao Jiu Nanyang to boil water and pull weeds in Tokyo when she was young. She also had to learn martial arts. She was so enthusiastic about this daughter-in-law.
Very active and very fond of it.
Xie Xiaoman could sometimes share some roe deer meat, and the imperial concubine sighed, "Now I hope they will get married soon and let me become a grandmother."
The eldest prince was granted the title of queen and then got married. The scale was so grand that it was hardly the work of the Zhao Guan family. Among other things, Xie Xiaoman still remembered that the road from the Han family to the Chonghua Palace was paved with red silk, and there were fireworks and firecrackers every ten steps.
After all, all the etiquette was carried out according to the Crown Prince's wedding. The Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple were busy for three months.
Comparatively speaking, the wedding ceremony of the second prince, King Mu, in November of that year seemed a bit satisfactory. There was only a bride, and the dowry was really huge. After all, King Zhang Qi could not be compared with King Han Qin, but he had more money.
However, for Xie Xiaoman, these are just some talking points and have nothing to do with her life. At that time, she accidentally understood Zhao Guan's theory, and actually made a simple version of the water wheel rollover - after Zhao Guan's experiment,
This vehicle uses water flow to drive the water wheel to rotate, which can not only irrigate farmland, but can also be further improved for rice pounding and textile weaving.
Zhao Guan's family was overjoyed, and despite her repeated objections, they promoted Xie Xiaoman's status to the imperial concubine. At the same time, they also used it to severely reprimand Hong Zun, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, saying, "You are a loser. You have been working for three or four years and still have a steam engine."
If you didn't study it well, if it weren't for some breakthroughs in water and electricity, I would have deducted your salary.
Xie Xiaoman was a little puzzled. Yes, the Ministry of Industry, under the leadership of the Zhao Guan family over the years, has become an academy of science. Of course, Xie Xiaoman also heard this term from the Zhao Guan family, saying that "scientific power is the first
"Productivity" frequently became the subject of articles published in newspapers.
If it was just for the needs of the navigation industry and increasing food production, Xie Xiaoman expressed her understanding, but as for the more ambitious goals, she was powerless. However, the Zhao Guan family did not seem to have such big demands on the concubine, and she could usually listen to his nagging.
He can still understand a little bit, and he is very satisfied if he occasionally comes up with a novel gadget.
However, as the highest leader of the Song Dynasty, the Zhao Guan family did not care much about the affairs of the harem. But that does not mean that the two princes’ biological mothers did not care about it. Starting from about the 24th year of Jianyan, Xie Xiaoman’s Yuhua Palace
It has become a place where the two princesses often come. Of course, they are never empty-handed, and the purpose is very simple, which is to hug Xie Xiaoman's two-year-old son Zhao Xin.
Xie Xiaoman knew the reason. The son was born to Guanyin, and the birth was extremely smooth. In order to please Zhao Guan's family, people inside and outside the palace said that this was a gift from Guanyin.
Facing the huge pressure to give birth, can the two princesses find a way?
Maybe the fourth prince, nicknamed Shanzuo, was really lucky. Anyway, in the next half year, the two princesses were rumored to be pregnant.
But our Crab Lady felt helpless when she looked at the table full of thank-you gifts. Half of them were shining silver, and the other half were all kinds of mink furs worth ten thousand gold. She had no choice but to report to the officials.
After all, we are passionate about science and yearning for independence. We must also understand that the battle for reservation is not something we can easily touch.
Butler Zhao didn't care at all, "Just take it for you, otherwise they will feel uneasy." In fact, it was just all kinds of birth-inducing tricks with Pan Fei. How could he not know? It's just that he couldn't say it clearly as an uncle.
Besides, their family really has a throne to inherit.
Soon Princess Han of Yan gave birth to a little princess. Although Princess Zhang of Mu was happy with her son, the princess was uneasy because King Mu stole a maid during her pregnancy, and the child she gave birth to was also a little weak.
In the next two years, Xie Xiaoman felt a little uncomfortable every time she saw Princess Yan. The bright and lively girl of the past was gone, and she gradually became anxious and haggard. Her childhood sweetheart husband still loved and respected her, but the eldest son of the emperor
The issue of heirs is not a family matter at all, so when the princess was two years old, a concubine entered the family.
Afterwards, the two royal houses were like competing in a competition. Their children were all prosperous, but all of them were born to the concubines. The Zhao Guan family did not care much about the legitimate concubines, but cared about the feelings of the two in-laws.
But this is still an era of monarchy after all. As long as Zhao Jiu advocates the decentralization of education, it is obvious that both Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun feel that their daughters are not living up to expectations. How about the third prince's daughter?
I have two babies every year, and they are both grandsons of the emperor.
Xie Xiaoman finally couldn't bear it one time and advised the two princesses privately, "In terms of background, I am incomparable to the two of them, but there is no one who will not suffer in this life. There is no one who can't survive in peacetime, just look at you."
What’s wrong with people’s nature?”
Princess Zhang's eyes turned red and she said: "Even though Mrs. De is unhappy in every way, Prince Shen's brother is so healthy and smart, but my eldest brother..."
Han Yuanniang was even more bitter and said: "You still have a son after all. Our royal family doesn't have any medical doctors, so why can't we nurse him back to health? But I only have one princess so far. Do you know how unpleasant the people behind the scenes are?"
Her biological father even said that she was useless with swords and guns. None of the eldest prince's four sons were born to her.
Xie Xiaoman, I have nothing to say anymore, I can say anything to persuade others, but it is not my turn to suffer. How can I really feel the same way? Just like if he told the two princesses that he was almost forced to become a concubine. Even his parents
They almost want to sell him. I believe they can't understand it either.
In the end, she could only sigh softly, "Yeah, I just can't bear to see you so miserable. But if you want to think about it, I think there is nothing I can do."
He had no choice, but the matter of childbearing, as long as the couple had a good relationship, was a metaphysical issue in ancient society. For example, in the eighth year of marriage, Han Yuanniang finally gave birth to a legitimate son without any illness or disaster.
It is said that King Yan and his wife were so happy that they all bought firecrackers and set them off for a whole day to celebrate. Fortunately, his neighbors were all members of the Secret Pavilion and knew that King Yan was the secret prince. No one cared about him.
Zhao Guan's family was also very happy and personally went to the hospital for their grandson, whose nickname was Antaro.
After the child was one month old, Princess Yan Han Yuanniang carried him into the palace to pay homage to her parents-in-law, and also expressed her gratitude to the emperor and his father-in-law for the gift.
Xie Xiaoman watched with a smile, and Han Yuanniang, who was full of spring breeze, suddenly felt a little sad. The agility in him had disappeared at all. He turned into a real housewife.
If she could really fight on the battlefield like those Makui leaders in Xixia history, would it still be like this?
Xie Xiaoman had no way of answering this question. Apart from taking care of his children, he put more energy into the inventions and creations that Zhao Guan's family liked, to see if he could cultivate any hybrid rice.
Because after so many years, she had a vague feeling that what Zhao Guan's family wanted to do must be as famous as Qin Shihuang's unification of weights and measures. If she could contribute to it, she wouldn't have to go to her next life.
Yes, Xie Xiaoman's name may not be in the book. It may not record how much she contributed to it, but she just knows that she has been there and done it before, because she doesn't want to become insensitive or ignorant.
However, not long after, Xie Xiaoman discovered that God might have given her another role, that of being a witness to the history of the Emperor's family.
