Chapter Fifteen: Kunze's Marriage
"Is it the words of His Royal Highness the eldest princess?" Yun Fenghuang frowned and said, "Are you sure?"
The Qing people said softly: "You are so cautious about the matter, how can the maidservant fool you? This has been confirmed repeatedly. The people on Xie's side are respectful and respectful to the eldest princess, and they dare not make up half a word. The son-in-law himself is even more gentle and considerate to the eldest princess, and takes good care of her. Otherwise, when you doubted the son-in-law that day, the eldest princess would not be like that. It is the dowry of the eldest princess. Because of Princess Anchang's happiness, she is very worried about Her Highness Princess Sui'an, and it is said that she mentioned it several times in private, and even looked for Yizi's prescription everywhere."
"Yizi's prescription..." Yun Fenghuang pondered, "At the beginning, I got one from Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Yi and the others said it was very effective. If Her Royal Highness Princess Suian wants it, let her make a copy." It's all trivial matters. But now, Bengong is not easy to give, otherwise I would think that Bengong is duplicity, saying that there is no hurry, but I still hope that she and Bengong brothers will have a child soon."
Let the Qing people copy a copy of the prescription and send it to Xiao Chen, "See if it can be sent to the eldest princess. In fact, they have been married for less than a year, so there is no need to be so impatient. The concubine is also concerned, but it will be messy." gone."
That being said, since she wanted Yizi's prescription to fall into the hands of Princess Suian, of course she also hoped that this sister-in-law would give birth as soon as possible.
Mainly after having a child, it is convenient for Chunjia to add grace, which will help the improvement of Xie's lintel.
According to Yun Fenghuang's estimate, the heirs of the three eldest princesses, Chunjia will most likely be conferred a title.
The Guo Dynasty did not have the rule of the previous dynasty that all emperors and nephews were enshrined as marquises, but Minghui, Yun'an, and Sui'an had special identities after all. As Xiaozong's blood, Chunjia had to give them the very ordinary treatment of the eldest princess, so as to show that they would not forget Xiaozong's favor. So as long as the eldest princess and her family don't risk their lives, there will be no problem for her heirs to get a title.
But no matter how important the offspring are, they are nothing more important than going to Sui'an.
After all, Sui'an is Xiaozong's own flesh and blood, and is most qualified to inherit Xiaozong's legacy. If Sui'an has three advantages and disadvantages because of the birth, it would be putting the cart before the horse.
Yun Fenghuang pondered for a while, but couldn't find anyone to talk to the concubine, so he summoned Concubine De to her, and tactfully confided her worries: "...the palace is not in a hurry, and the Xie family is not in a hurry Even the son-in-law himself thinks that he has not been married for a long time, so why should he worry about having an heir? It was revealed in front of the palace, and I thought it was someone in the family who said something that shouldn't be said. Now I want to persuade the concubine not to worry too much about His Royal Highness the eldest princess, but I and the concubine also have I haven't said much, I'm afraid the concubine may misunderstand."
Concubine De quickly said: "Sister, don't worry. Although my sister's grandmother has been in decline for many years, she still has some contacts in the palace. If my sister doesn't mind, she can help convey this to the concubine."
So within two days, Taipin Shen heard the meaning. She first thanked the ancestors of the Gongxiang family with joy, and felt that her daughter's relatives in the husband's family were all sensible, and then she told the left and right that she would give Sui'an couldn't stop the soup and medicine for recuperating his body: "Even if Mrs. Xie doesn't urge you, think about your majesty. The princes are still young now. When they grow up, can your majesty teach some of them personally? What will your nephew be at that time?" Like Yun An, who is pregnant now, regardless of whether it is male or female, it is about the same age as the princes and princesses, and in the future, His Majesty will give grace to the descendants and take care of them."
"If it takes three to five years for Sui'an to give birth, then His Majesty will have many heirs, and the older ones will be able to walk and run. Your Majesty will not have time to worry about his own children. Will he still have time to take care of Sui'an's children?"
"I was born in a humble family. I served the late emperor for many years and was not favored. That's why I was able to survive under the hands of the late queen mother, oh, the common man Ji Sheng. Later, I was lucky enough to give birth to Suian, who had a place in the palace. There is nothing that can help Suian."
"I can only plan one or two things for her on these things."
Taipin Shen is very sober, if it wasn't for the fact that Emperor Xiaozong had no children and Chunjia was the successor, their mother and daughter would be insignificant in the palace and in the previous dynasty.
But no matter how profound the kindness is, it can't keep people away from the tea.
It has been ten years since Emperor Xiaozong passed away, and the government and the public have gradually forgotten about this emperor.
Chunjia was young, vigorous and ambitious, and sooner or later he would completely erase the traces of the late emperor.
At that time, whether he is willing to give special favor to the three step-sisters really depends on his conscience and memory.
So if you want to make the most of your identity as the late emperor, you have to take advantage of it as much as possible when Chunjia still needs to pull the skin of his filial sons and grandchildren, and dare not neglect Xiaozong's biological mother and daughter.
Otherwise, in the future, Sui'an and Xie Wuzheng's heirs are smart and capable, but if they are just mediocre, judging by Chunjia's attitude towards Xingning County, I am afraid that they will be dismissed casually, and they will not know that they do not have enough talent. Give him high authority.
If she had such an attitude, she would definitely not listen to Yun Fenghuang's persuasion, and would not put pressure on Suian.
Yun Fenghuang was quite speechless after finding out what the concubine Tai was thinking, but it was not good to interfere forcefully, so he had to ask Xie Wuzheng to tell Xie Wuzheng in private, and ask him to care more about the eldest princess, so that Sui'an would not be taken care of by the concubine Shen. Get mad.
Fortunately, Xie Wuzheng listened to Yun Fenghuang's words very well, and expressed that he was wholeheartedly devoted to the eldest princess and never had other thoughts, so Yun Fenghuang could rest assured.
"His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess - she is honorable and kind-hearted. She is easier to get along with than the prince-in-law had thought before. The son-in-law is so happy to have a wife, and he is also very grateful to the empress." The Qing people who went to pass the message came back and told Yunfeng Huang, "Actually, what the concubine Shen meant, the son-in-law also felt very embarrassed. After all, the fate of children and heirs is determined by nature, and there is no need to force it. But the concubine is an elder after all, and the son-in-law dare not say anything. Originally, a few days ago, the son-in-law I wanted to ask the young lady to tell you when she entered the palace, so that the concubine could calm down a bit. But she was stopped by His Royal Highness, saying that she was afraid that you would worry."
Yun Fenghuang sighed: "What else can I do? The mother and daughter are considerate and considerate of each other, and I can continue to dictate and be a villain? That's it."
She told Chunjia who came here that day, of course, it was a modified version, saying that Shen Taipin was happy because of Princess Yun'an, but her daughter had no news until now, so she was very worried. Giving Suian all the things that are rumored to be helpful for pregnancy caused Suian a headache, "Although mothers always think about their daughters, I think how long it has been since Suian's decline. Are you in a hurry? At first, I suspected that someone in the family was so ignorant and made my concubine worry too much. Later, I asked someone to investigate, and from my uncle and aunt to the son-in-law to the servants, there was no such case."
She squeezed her forehead and sighed, "I'm not familiar with the concubine too, so I asked Concubine De to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Dongxing for help, and I persuaded the concubine tactfully, the concubine is good Thank you kindly, but when I turned around, I still ordered Suian to continue to take care of me, this..."
Chunjia was busy with government affairs, so she really didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing. He frowned and said, "The imperial concubine is indeed too impatient. How about this? I'll send someone to the imperial capital tomorrow, ask the queen mother to help, and tell her Say it."
"Are you going to let the loving mother, the Empress Dowager, go?" Yun Fenghuang told him this, not only for Sui'an's consideration, but also just in case, and to prepare for future dumping - you see, this palace is from the bottom of my heart For the good of the eldest princess Suian, it is her own mother who puts pressure on her, so if there is any good or bad for the eldest princess, it is not the fault of this palace and Mrs. Xie, it is the problem of the concubine——Hearing this moment, my heart After thinking about it, he said, "I don't think it's appropriate. You think the temperament of the two empress dowagers is the kind of cautious words and deeds. This kind of person is afraid and sensitive. If the empress dowager said it, if The concubine understood the mistake, and it turned out to be a bad thing."
"It's better to let the Empress Dowager Mother speak through Princess Kunze."
"Those are people who have daughters under their knees. It is because they are in the same situation that they feel sorry for each other. The concubine is more able to listen to it."
Chunjia pondered for a while, felt it made sense, nodded and said, "I'll explain to Yanyin later."
But because of this, he thought of Kunze, and said, "I didn't pay attention when I was busy, Kunze's age is almost the same, it should be seen."
Considering that Empress Dowager Qu has no natal family, and she lives in secluded places, it is even more inappropriate to show up in the name of being ill for many years, so she handed over this matter to Yun Fenghuang, and asked her to work with Concubine Shu and Concubine De to Kunze County. The main job is to find a candidate for a county horse.
"What kind of person does Your Majesty think is good?" Although Chunjia, the Princess of Kunze, has never mentioned it, and her treatment seems to be far inferior to that of Minghui and the three of them, she is Chunjia's only sister and mother after all. Yun Fenghuang didn't dare to take it lightly when he was raised.
At this moment, when he heard the words, he first asked his request, "Is it a honorable family, a noble family, or like the three eldest princesses, choose from among the new scholars?"
In fact, she speculated that Chunjia would not let the county horse's background be better than the son-in-law's, but it would be better to get Chunjia's own confirmation.
Sure enough, Chunjia said: "She grew up with Minghui and the others, so she can also choose from the new Jinshi. It happens to start again next year."
The one who didn't take the test last year was Enke who was added temporarily.
Next year's subject will be the Spring Festival that happens every three years.
Yun Fenghuang asked the emperor again, do you want to find out the details of the children of each family in advance? After all, a person with outstanding academic performance may not be a good son-in-law.
In fact, I just want to know whether it is possible to spread the news about the emperor's choice of son-in-law for Kunze in advance, so that those who are interested can make preparations?
Seeing Chunjia nod her head, she has figured it out.
The next day, I went to Woxia Building to pay respects to Empress Gu. In fact, the empress was mainly suffering from mental illness. She was lying on the couch and was not in good spirits, but it was not too bad.
Seeing the imperial concubine coming, he sighed and asked, "What do you want you to come here in person?"
"Your Majesty was resting at my place yesterday, and I remembered Princess Kunze, and said that the princess should look good." Yun Fenghuang said to her, "But the empress also knows that the princess was raised by the Queen Mother. Well, the Empress Dowager Mother always lives in seclusion, and now she can't take care of these things when she is sick. Your Majesty is also afraid that the Empress Dowager will worry about the princess even if she is sick, so let us help find some candidates. Your Majesty said that the princess is with the princess. The three eldest princesses grew up together, let's see it from next year's Chunwei."
Gu Zhen was stunned for a while, and said: "Looking at this palace's memory, Princess Kunze's marriage should indeed be worried... This is my palace's fault, but I'm bothering the noble concubine."
She sighed, "But I still don't have much energy, so please ask the noble concubine to help me take a look."
For a marriage like Kunze, if the empress dowagers did not mention it, according to the rules, the empress should remind the empress dowager or the emperor.
But Queen Mother Qu's mother and daughter have never had a strong sense of presence in the palace, and everyone has to worry about Queen Mother Yuan's attitude towards Queen Mother Qu, and they usually dare not be intimate with Jiashan Palace. Gu Zhen completely forgot about the series of changes, and never thought of them at all.
At this moment, Yun Fenghuang came to tell her that it was also for the sake of complete etiquette and rules, so that no one would have the opportunity to criticize him.
The emperor and empress agreed to let her be in charge of Princess Kunze's marriage, so there would be no future troubles.
It's just that Yun Fenghuang is a little entangled in the selection of the county horse.
The queen had no idea about this, because the emperor had already tactfully delineated the scope of the county horses, which were lower than the three eldest princesses' son-in-laws.
Among the three eldest princesses, although Zheng Fengyu's background is controversial because Zheng Gu is an eunuch, it is really not low in terms of official position; Xie Wuzheng's background is also recognized as not high, but he has a favorite concubine cousin .
Calculated in this way, the natal families of people like Gu Zhen, Concubine Shu, and Concubine De must not be considered.
But the children of ordinary officials and eunuchs, there is no problem.
However, Yun Fenghuang thought of his natal family.
When Xie's children came to the Imperial Capital to participate in Enke, the Jiang family also had a few cousins.
Among them, there are also those who are both talented and beautiful but have not yet married.
Since Xie Wuzheng Shangzhu and Xie's daughters were married, the Jiang family became very particular about their children's marriage.
Two of them are still choosing and choosing, worrying about getting married.
According to Yun Fenghuang's plan, it would be best for the Princess Kunze to ration her cousin...
It's just that Chunjia may not agree.
His current situation is much better than that of Enke, so he is not in a hurry to use his sister's marriage to attract another young talent.
It seems that there is some intention to choose a pleasing relationship for Kunze.
Of course, this is also because the sons-in-law of the three eldest princesses of Chunjia Jiaen will only be praised and not easily criticized, but they cannot treat Kunze's county horse unscrupulously.
Yun Fenghuang was thinking about whether to give his cousins a chance to arrange for them to meet Princess Kunze or something, to see if there is a chance to win the heart of the princess?
Because Princess Kunze was raised by Empress Dowager Qu, and Queen Mother Qu did not come to Qishan to escape the summer heat in Miyagi, so of course it is impossible for Princess Kunze to leave this queen mother and come here to enjoy it. So even if we want to do this, we can't arrange it for the time being. Yun Fenghuang planned to wait until the summer vacation was over.
As a result, the summer vacation is not over yet, isn't Queen Mother Yuan's birthday coming? Chunjia specially arranged for Deng Chengzhai to return to Miyagi to congratulate Empress Dowager Yuan on his behalf.
After Deng Chengzhai came back, he told Chunjia about something. The Empress Dowager Yuan also mentioned the marriage of Princess Kunze, and she hoped to choose a county horse from Yuan's sons.
