Thanks to Princess Jiaxiang, the Crown Prince of Zhennan gained a reputation for being rude as soon as he came to the imperial capital. Moreover, this reputation is well established. This time it is not that Princess Jiaxiang is unruly and domineering. Princess Jiaxiang is the legitimate princess, and you are the crown prince of a vassal.
, naturally I should make way for my princess.
This is the current mainstream thinking of the imperial court.
Of course, there are also tributaries outside the mainstream.
For example, some people also pointed out that the Crown Prince of Zhennan was a guest from afar, so there was no harm in giving in.
The person who raised this view was none other than Scholar Tang, who was sent by Mu Anzhi to the imperial capital to give a longevity gift to Emperor Mu Xuan. It turns out that Scholar Tang was really highly regarded. He was previously sent by Mu Anzhi to the Caiyun Tribe as an envoy, and now
As an important messenger to send birthday gifts, Mu Anzhi believed that the people in the northern Xinjiang area were not worthy enough, and Master Tang was the most suitable person.
Although Academician Tang only arrived in Northern Xinjiang last year, he believed deeply in the prosperity of the Imperial Capital and His Majesty. Therefore, when Mu Anzhifu mentioned this matter, Academician Tang responded without any hesitation.
In fact, Mu Anzhi never thought about giving Emperor Mu Xuan a birthday gift. There were two wars in northern Xinjiang this year, and there was also a newly opened market trade. Everyone was very busy, so Mu Anzhi wanted to save this time. He
Not to mention, Pei Ruyu, Du Changshi, and Hua Changshi all remembered that, in Pei Ruyu's private words, "I pretended to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson."
Mu Anzhi couldn't resist the big guy, so he had to spend a lot of money. Then he thought that Xueshi Tang was an eyesore, so he sent his people back. The person who returned to Dide with Xueshi Tang was still his eldest son Tang Qian.
The wife did not return to the imperial capital with her husband. She said she was not feeling well, but actually she was tired of the long journey. She just packed up her son's clothes and bowed, and gave some instructions to her son before sending him back to the imperial capital with Scholar Tang to present birthday gifts.
It is a pity that the information about Northern Xinjiang that Scholar Tang brought back was no more than that of the two consorts. The prince still politely and intimately gave Mr. Tang, who was destined to have no connection, some pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and a new book printed by the imperial court.
Sent away.
No one expected that Scholar Tang would make a high-profile speech about the fight between the Crown Prince of Zhennan and Princess Jiaxiang. The Crown Prince finally understood why he was not liked by Mu Anzhi.
If he was still the same Mu Anzhi, he must have followed the words of scholars from the Tang Dynasty. This is also true. Previously, Mu Anzhi was indeed an elegant character who would rather give in to himself in everything. But now he launched two wars as soon as he became a vassal.
Mu Anzhi now sees the hypocrisy of Scholar Tang.
The prince lamented that he sent Xueshi Tang to Northern Xinjiang, but failed to restrain the third child, but he gave him a very handy tool, which was very useful.
The noon sun shone brightly on the prince's moon-white brocade robe. The prince took the flower scissors and gently cut off the failed rose branches. He also removed the thin side branches and the thick branches that had sparsely bloomed this year, leaving behind
There were only a few main branches. The flowers and leaves fell one after another, and some accidentally got hung on the hem of the prince's brocade robe. A little fat hand carefully pinched off the flowers and leaves on the hem of the robe for his father. The little guy
He was obviously experienced. Rose branches were prickly, so he looked at them carefully with his round black eyes, and his hands holding the branches were also careful to avoid being pricked by the thorns.
"Father, do you want to cut off so much?" The little guy tilted his head, his black and white eyes sparkling with aura, and asked worriedly, "Will they bloom next year?"
"Only by cutting off these extra branches will the flowers bloom more and better next year." The prince touched his son's head and patiently told his son in the simplest words possible the principles of pruning flowers and what kind of flowers should be cut off.
What kind of flowers are left behind?
After pruning, the prince also applied some fertilizer to the flowers and poured water to thoroughly water them.
Then, when the father and son returned to the East Palace, the hems of their robes were half wet. The Crown Princess was talking to Princess Jiaxiang. Seeing the appearance of the father and son, she came forward with a smile and asked angrily, "What are you doing here? Look at the clothes."
All wet."
Mu Yu replied loudly and proudly, "Mom, I helped my father water the flowers!"
The prince had a smile on his face, "Yes, Ayu helped me a lot."
As a result, the little guy became even more proud.
Princess Jiaxiang liked her nephew very much. She held the prince and the princess's second son in her arms and walked slower. Mu Yu obviously also liked her aunt very much. He happily shouted "aunt" and ran over to salute his aunt with his little fists.
, "Hello, aunt. Say hello to aunt!"
The palace attendants brought clean robes. There were no outsiders in the room, so the prince and his son changed them together. The prince asked casually, "Why are you here?"
"Looking at what eldest brother said, is it possible that I won't be able to return to the palace after the wedding?" Princess Jiaxiang asked unconvinced.
"Is that what I mean? You and your brother-in-law are newly married, so naturally they should be together." When Princess Jiayue first got married, she didn't come to the palace for ten and a half months, so she couldn't be on good terms with her consort. When she mentioned this, Princess Jiaxiang muttered
Pouting, "The prince-in-law really wants to be with me, so he can't be an errand."
"I know that my brother-in-law has to work as an errand, but now that we are married, you have to care more about your brother-in-law. When you come to the palace, will you send someone to bring lunch to your brother-in-law at noon?" The prince asked.
"I couldn't have imagined this. I told the imperial grandmother to order the longevity kitchen to prepare some of the consort's favorite foods at noon and deliver them to the consort at that time." Seeing her brother change his clothes, Princess Jiaxiang said, "Brother, come here.
, let’s sit and talk, I have something to discuss with you.”
There was a horizontal couch, with the Crown Prince and Princess Jiaxiang sitting on each side. The Crown Princess arranged the little robe for the eldest son and said, "I see that Ayu's face is also stained. I will go and wash him." Then she said, "Sister,
Give me Erlang, it's time for him to nurse."
Princess Jiaxiang handed her nephew to the princess's sister-in-law. When the prince saw his wife and sons retreating, he knew that what Princess Jiaxiang was going to say was a difficult matter. The prince was a little curious, "What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal, it's the official position of the Prince Consort." Princess Jiaxiang broke open a mandarin orange newly provided by the Internal Affairs Department and handed half of it to her brother, "The Prince Consort was appointed to the fourth rank in the Longhu Camp. This official position is too low.
Brother, please discuss with your father and mention it to the Prince Consort, at least to the third rank."
The prince managed not to choke Orange, but he couldn't help laughing and asked her, "Have you discussed this matter with your brother-in-law?"
"I only thought of it on the way to the palace. There is no need to discuss this matter, he will definitely obey me." Princess Jiaxiang showed off proudly, "Yesterday he gave me his private room."
"Oh, then you will be rich." The prince teased his sister, thinking that Qin Ting was really good at coaxing his wife after seeing his taciturn temperament.
"How can I make a fortune? I have only saved a few hundred taels during these years of work. I don't think my husband-in-law is poor. I just went to Qin's house and saw it. My husband is not good at it. He loves to put on airs. My mother-in-law
He is as soft as noodles and dare not speak big words. The prince-in-law is too honest, loyal and filial. He was on the job three years earlier than my second brother-in-law, and his rank is the same as my brother-in-law, which shows that my parents-in-law are partial. I think
Okay, let’s first raise the rank of our consort, and in a year or two, let my husband-in-law become an official. Anyway, he is not young, so when he is introduced, he will be asked to take charge of the Longhu Camp. Can’t my consort be a second-rank official?
?" Princess Jiaxiang asked her brother directly, as if she would never give up if her brother dared to say "no".
"Okay, okay, how can this not work?" The prince said in his heart, although my sister is straightforward, she often does some 250 things, and what she says when she is serious about benefits is not completely unreasonable. Doesn't the prince not want Qin Ting to control the dragon and tiger?
Ying, he thought more than anyone else. If he didn't value Qin Ting, how could the prince marry his own sister? He was just a compatriot sister.
"Brother, you are so obedient!" Princess Jiaxiang immediately hit the snake on the stick and stopped talking.
"Yes, yes. Just don't worry, my father and I can still treat my brother-in-law badly, but the official position is a carrot and a trap. I will always make plans for my brother-in-law." The prince said.
"As long as you don't worry about this, brother." Princess Jiaxiang smiled happily, then she described it to herself again, "This is not to ask for an official position for the prince-in-law. You don't know how hard the prince-in-law works as an errand. He is serious about it, any day.
They don’t go home until nightfall. Others become officials in order to make a fortune, and even their salary is given to their families. Otherwise, how can they only have so little savings? Such honest people are not easy to find. "Brother Princess Jiaxiang, you meet me.
It seems that you have good luck. The prince couldn't help it and laughed out loud, "Yes, my sister was right."
Princess Jiaxiang didn't know what was going on and smiled. Anyway, all the officials in the world were from her natal family. What's wrong with her coming to ask for an official position for her husband? It's not like her husband was not talented enough to be able to take the job.
The prince asked, "My consort has little wealth. He bought you many gifts when he went to northern Xinjiang last time. Where did he get the money?"
"The consort is just honest, not stupid. There are always merchants accompanying him when he goes out. Didn't the former Mu Anzhi make a lot of money by relying on this method? The consort followed the same example as brother-in-law Yao. Not only did he have expenses along the way, but he also bought many things.
Many things. Those jade and jewelry were all exchanged in the Northern Xinjiang market. I heard from the prince-in-law that the same jade and jewelry only cost one-twelfth of the price in the imperial capital." Princess Jiaxiang sighed, "I originally thought that Northern Xinjiang was a remote place.
Son, now Mu Anzhi can make a fortune."
"That's your third brother, why can't you call him by his name?" the prince corrected his sister.
"Anyway, I don't see eye to eye with him, and he doesn't see eye to eye with me either. When I got married, he didn't even send any congratulatory gifts."
"You two are really enemies."
At noon, Princess Jiaxiang did not have dinner in the East Palace. She called all the members of the East Palace family to Ci'en Palace, and together with Empress Lu and Emperor Mu Xuan, they had a reunion dinner at Empress Dowager Lan's place. In Princess Jiaxiang's words, she was all married. This time
Of course my mother's family wants to eat together as a family.
If others say such leaky things, they will definitely be criticized. For example, are the princes next to me not a family? Why don't you call them?
But because Princess Jiaxiang said this, and she had always been a straight-tempered person, even Emperor Mu Xuan didn't think much about it. In fact, Emperor Mu Xuan preferred such a small banquet to the huge banquet.
After resting for a while in Fengyi Palace at noon, Princess Jiaxiang left the palace and returned to her princess mansion. However, on the way out of the palace, she met a man in red robes, gold embroidery and jade crowns. The man walked out of the light. The sun was blazing, so he looked
His appearance was unclear, but his elegant figure made people unable to take their eyes away. As the man approached, his facial features were slowly outlined by the light, and Princess Jiaxiang was stunned for a moment.
The man also saw Princess Jiaxiang, and they were only three feet apart. He did not know Princess Jiaxiang, so he tilted his swan-like neck and looked at the chamberlain who was leading the way with a questioning look. The chamberlain quickly greeted Princess Jiaxiang and said, "See you, slave."
Passing by Princess Jiaxiang, this is the Crown Prince of Zhennan, and I have been ordered to pay my respects to Your Majesty."
The surprise in Princess Jiaxiang's eyes quickly receded like a tide, and then there was a strong sneer. She looked the man up and down and left proudly. When Princess Jiaxiang passed by her, the Crown Prince of Zhennan spoke, "Previously
I am rude to the princess, please forgive me."
Sure enough, it was the annoying voice in the carriage that day. Princess Jiaxiang didn't bother to look at the crown prince anymore, and said casually, "You are a small country in the countryside, and you don't know the etiquette. I forgive you." She walked away without any nostalgia.
Watching Princess Duanxiang, who was dressed in pomegranate red embroidered with gold phoenix and extremely luxurious, walking away, the Crown Prince of Zhennan hid his eyes in astonishment. The evening breeze blew over that top-notch beautiful face: No, the intelligence is wrong! The intelligence did not say that this person
The princess who was born in the middle palace loves most beautiful men. Did she ever fall in love with an extremely unruly and beautiful number one scholar?
The Crown Prince of Zhennan considered himself to be as beautiful as anyone else. Even when they met for the first time, he deliberately attracted the attention of the princess, because according to the Crown Prince's analysis, the princess would have a desire to control because of her noble status, and the more untamed she would be.
The prey is more likely to arouse the interest of the princess, but now it seems that even with his always confident appearance, the princess is only briefly stunned and has no other intention.
No, his information will never be wrong.
Regardless of whether the information about Crown Prince Zhennan was right or wrong, Princess Jiaxiang told Qin Ting when she got home, "Today we met the country prince who fought against us last time and actually wanted to seduce me."
Qin Ting drew his sword and said, "This is unreasonable!"
Princess Jiaxiang stopped him quickly and pushed his sword back into its sheath, "I paid no attention to the Bird Prince and didn't even look at him. Why should I be angry with such a person? He is an envoy after all. If he doesn't do it, he will be killed."
I’ll think of ways to deal with him later.”
Qin Ting was a little unhappy, "If you didn't look at him, how would you know he was seducing you?"
Princess Jiaxiang was not unhappy at all. She was even a little happy because Qin Ting was jealous. Princess Jiaxiang said, "I just took a look."
Qin Ting didn't believe it, and Princess Jiaxiang said anxiously, "I really just took a look."
"Don't even look at her from now on." Qin Ting held her on his lap and spoke concisely and concisely, looking forward to her with a handsome face, "Just look at your husband."
Princess Jiaxiang laughed, her eyes narrowed in laughter, and she just looked at her husband without speaking.
"Did you hear me?"
"Hear it, hear it."
Princess Jiaxiang's preference for beautiful men is no secret in the royal family. When she first fell in love with Pei Ruyu, it wasn't that he was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Princess Jiaxiang didn't like nerds. What she liked was Pei Ruyu's face. Therefore, Princess Jiaxiang was attracted to Prince Zhennan.
The prince's coldness and disgust were actually quite beyond the expectations of those who knew him.
Even Princess Jiaxiang's uncles and cousins couldn't figure it out, but Qin Ting understood that Princess Jiaxiang was a unruly and willful girl, but she was also the most noble princess in the royal family. Princess Jiaxiang had her own pride.
Is it possible that just a beautiful man can seduce Princess Jiaxiang? This is a royal princess, not just a casual one. The strategy of using a beautiful man as a seduce also underestimates the pride of the princess.
A princess is a princess.
It was precisely because of this that Qin Ting readily accepted the proposal of the East Palace, Princess Shang Jiaxiang.
In fact, he did marry a good wife.
Even Mu Anzhi, who was far away in northern Xinjiang, showed an incredulous look when he learned that Qin Ting actually sang in harmony with Princess Jiaxiang, and he intuitively understood that Qin Ting was an extraordinary person.
At this time, in Bei Xinjiang, the princess and her mother-in-law, who were two months into their confinement, carried two fat boys out of confinement with great dignity. Just when Uncle Jiu and his parents moved their family to Bei Xinjiang, they met in Bei Xinjiang.
Xinjiang's daughter-in-law and son reunited together. It's not that the old couple left their homeland, but they really missed their grandson very much.
Of course, missing my grandson is not as shocking as knowing that Li Yuhua actually became the princess. Oh my god, my god, grandma, the girl who used to call us grandpa and grandma has turned out to be the princess!
Oh my gosh!
We are so lucky!
As expected, Mr. Feng Shui’s words are absolutely correct. Our Baijia Village has good Feng Shui and produces noble people!
Bai Lichang is indeed Lord Bai. He is a fellow villager of the Princess and his wife. He is also a first-class person when it comes to feudal superstition. Bai Lichang said, "Back then, a blind Taoist priest came to our village to beg for food. I looked pitiful. Please
He came home and gave them thick noodles. After eating, he said that he had nothing to repay. He knew Feng Shui, so he might as well help me look at the ancestral graves. I said I had heard of a blind man telling fortunes by touching his hands. You can see this.
No, where can I see Feng Shui? The blind Taoist priest kept asking me to take him to the ancestral grave at home. I thought it would be okay to take a look, so I took him there. As a result, it didn’t matter after this look. I frowned when I stood in front of the ancestral grave.
I was so shocked that I asked if there was anything bad about it. The blind Taoist priest said, "It's not bad, it's just that our ancestral graves have accumulated merits for hundreds of years, and we are about to have a noble person who can prosper the family."
. But I was so excited that I immediately pushed my boy towards the Taoist Priest and asked, Priest, do you think this boy will have any potential in the future?"
"The Taoist Master then said that from now on he will be a blessed person with both wealth and honor, but he will not be a person of great wealth and honor, nor will he be the fundamental person to prosper the Bai family."
"I was worried at that time, so I asked who is still the fundamental person who prospers our Lao Bai family?"
Bai Lichang is a good storyteller, and Aunt Hongmei listened with great interest, "Then he must be talking about our Xiaohua."
"Oh, you hit the nail on the head when you call me my nephew-in-law." Bai Lichang slapped his thigh and said with joy, "At that time, the Taoist priest pointed towards the direction where your two families live and said, the purple clouds are steaming in the east, and there are phoenixes.
To fly, a daughter of great wealth must be born. Now this should not happen to our princess."
Although Bai Lichang said something about the blind Taoist priest, the Princess's first religious activity after her confinement was to go with His Highness the Prince to Tian'an Temple where the Bodhisattva was newly gilded.
The abbot Master Kongjing personally led the monks in the temple to welcome the king and held a grand ceremony. The prince and the princess each received rewards, and the princess and princess Xin'an also received gifts.
The princess is not a believer in Buddhism, but she sends people to the temple every month to add incense, and from time to time she invites Master Kongjing to come over to give lectures and ask Master Kongjing how his life has been these past few years. I don’t know.
One might even think that they are relatives.
Li Yuhua accidentally said this one day, and the princess laughed, "Although we are not relatives, we still have some connections."
"Could he be my aunt's old friend?" Li Yuhua was curious.
The princess shook her head and looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window. She returned her gaze and asked Li Yuhua, "You must have heard in the imperial capital that my brother passed his concubine as his legitimate son?"
All well-informed official families know about this matter. Although it is an old story, Li Yuhua has also heard about it. It can be said that the Liu family made a big joke because of this matter, because the bastard who acted as the legitimate son was not even the biological blood of Liu Guogong. Three times
Blood tests have proven this.
Li Yuhua was startled, the heavy snow became tighter, and the snowflakes hit the glass window with crackling, as if they were about to knock on the window to get in. The princess of the county smiled with emotion, "When it was found that he was not of my family's blood, my brother's wife committed suicide.
It was difficult to raise the child in the mansion, so he was raised by Tianqi Temple. After all these years, it seems that there is indeed some connection."
The princess said, "Master Kongjing is the child back then."
