Ajiu

Chapter 167
Painful that the minds of the parents are changeable, the "falling out of favor" Ajiu and the crown prince you pity me, I pity you, and love each other more and more.Needless to say for Xiao Zhengzheng, I wish I could hold the whole world in front of Xiao Zhengzheng to express my care and love. "Son, parents will never change their hearts to you. After you marry a wife and give birth to a child, parents will still love you the most!" The young couple kissed and hugged Xiao Zhengzheng, vowing.

Their love is like the sea, Xiao Zhengzheng just regarded it as normal, smiled reservedly, and concentrated on playing with his fingers.

The emperor appointed the eldest daughter of a small official in the capital as the concubine for the eleventh prince. Accurate words.The prince is the crown prince's brother, and the wedding ceremony is similar to the crown prince's. Of course, the degree of grandeur cannot be compared.

The emperor still loves the eleventh prince very much.Although the daughter of a minor official was hired for him, she was also carefully selected, with a dignified appearance, a gentle temperament, knowledgeable and courteous, and a generous manner. Except for her natal family, who has no power and status, the rest are not as good as the ladies of the world. What's wrong.The eleven princes were granted the title of King Zheng, and the vassal land was located in Xinzheng, located in the Central Plains, rich and fertile.For the status of the eleventh prince, this result is already very good, and there is nothing to complain about.However, Concubine Qiu Gui, who was once glorious and invincible, felt very desolate, "Xiao Shiyi married such a daughter-in-law, I am really wronged. Besides, the Central Plains is not as good as Jiangnan, and Xiao Shiyi's feudal land is not rich enough."

Now that she has lost her favor, she can no longer confide to the emperor for a little bit of unsatisfactory things like when she was so favored in the past, and beg the emperor to make decisions for her. At that time, the emperor would visit her every day, and she could often see the emperor. Self-powered camera action.Now the two of them haven't seen each other for three months, even if she is full of thoughts, who can she tell.

"The fiefdom is fine, but the concubine's background is really unbearable." Concubine Qiu really regretted that she hadn't acted preemptively, and had chosen the daughter of a famous family as the concubine for the eleventh prince as soon as possible.

The princess was appointed by the emperor himself, and she didn't argue with the emperor, so she could only hold back her breath and watched as the Ministry of Rites asked the eleven princes about Na Cai and the time for solicitation. When the day came, the eleven princes Go to the bride's house to marry her.

The eleventh prince's concubine was surnamed Tao, and his father, Tao Dazhi, was an officer in the Zuojun Governor's Mansion, and a junior official from the ninth rank.After this marriage was settled, the emperor made an exception and promoted Tao Dazhi as the commander of Yingyangwei (namely, regardless of the matter). Therefore, when Tao was canonized as Princess Zheng, the imperial edict stated that Tao Dazhi, the commander of Yingyangwei, was the commander of Yingyangwei. female.This Tao family became Princess Zheng from the daughter of a low-level official, and married into Prince Zheng's Mansion located on Wangfu Street.Not only the Tao family, but even Tao Dazhi, his wife and son, as if in a dream, suddenly became relatives of the emperor.

"Girl, after you get married, you have to be careful and careful, and don't embarrass our family." Before Tao Shi left the house, Tao Dazhi and his wife repeatedly explained, "You must serve His Royal Highness King Zheng well, and your in-laws... "Balabara said a lot.

Tao agreed with tears in his eyes, "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not just obey."

Full of joy and longing, but also with a lot of uneasiness, Tao married the eleventh prince and became Princess Zheng.She is about the same age as King Zheng, and has a gentle and submissive temperament. King Zheng also likes her, and the fish and water are in harmony.

On the second day of their wedding, King Zheng and Princess Zheng went to the palace to meet. They first went to the Qianqing Palace to meet the emperor, then went to the Kunning Palace to meet the Empress Zhang, and then went to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.After visiting these three places one by one, King Zheng and Princess Zheng arrived at the Jiaotai Hall under the guidance of the servants and ceremonial officials. On this day, the emperor gave a banquet to King Zheng and Princess Zheng. All members of the royal family in Beijing were present, and it was very lively.

The etiquette of the crown prince accepting a concubine is cumbersome. After the personal welcome and marriage ceremony, we will meet at court the next day, then we will see each other in the temple again, and then there will be a grand celebration ceremony. After the celebration ceremony is completed, the wedding ceremony of the crown prince and princess concubine will be considered to be over.The prince accepting concubine ceremony is much simpler. After the meeting on the second day of the wedding, the emperor will give a banquet and the family will be reunited. There is no special celebration ceremony.

As soon as Zheng Wang and Zheng Wangfei entered the palace, they heard a lot of laughter, "Look, this is Xiao Shiyi's daughter-in-law, the bride is very beautiful!" Elegant, Princess Zheng greeted each one with a smile, very humble.

Although the government sent a female official to instruct etiquette before the marriage, Princess Zheng also studied hard and learned well, but at this time she was still very uneasy.She is a girl from a small family, and it is the first time in her life that she has seen so many noble women, even though she is one of these noble women at this time.

Concubine Zheng was a little apprehensive. In this panic, she only paid respects to this princess and that concubine, but she forgot the most important person, Concubine Qiu Guifei.Concubine Qiu Gui is not in a good mood. She waited and waited in Guangfu Palace early this morning, but she still couldn't wait for the newly married King Zheng and Princess Zheng. Don't mention the disappointment in her heart.Yes, the prince is newly married and has an audience in the palace. It is true that there is no etiquette for visiting a partial palace. However, if His Majesty casually mentions, "Go to Guangfu Palace." The servants and ceremony officials will bring them here.They didn't come, it can be seen that His Majesty didn't mention it at all.Concubine Qiu Gui was very chilled, but she had nothing to do, so she had to hold back her anger and come to the banquet.She knew that Princess Zheng would come to visit her at the banquet, but the meeting at the banquet was far from the meeting at Guangfu Palace.What a solemn visit to Guangfu Palace, the visit at the banquet is just a favor.

As soon as Zheng Wangcai came in, he was surrounded by a few younger cousins ​​and made fun of him. After a while, he freed himself and walked up to Princess Zheng Tao, "Follow me to see my mother and concubine." Then Princess Zheng remembered that she hadn't seen her husband's biological mother yet. , It's too rude, and I'm even more panicked.

The newlyweds bowed down in front of Concubine Qiu and bowed four times. Concubine Qiu smiled and said, "Get up quickly." She pulled Princess Zheng Tao to look at her carefully, praised her a few words, and gave her a wreath necklace inlaid with jewels. Greeting ceremony.Seeing the beautiful workmanship and dazzling brilliance of this Yingluo necklace, Dow knew that it was worth a lot, and was grateful in his heart.The mother and concubine of His Royal Highness King Zheng prepared such a meeting ceremony, which shows that she values ​​herself and does not look down on her origin.

Today is a very formal occasion. Concubine Zheng Tao is wearing Zhai clothes and nine phoenix and four phoenix crowns. She always has a gentle smile on her face, being courteous.Concubine Qiu looked at Tao with critical eyes for a long time, "It's not bad, but I'm a little bit angry, and I'm not worthy of Xiaoshi." Concubine Qiu thought secretly.

Concubine Jingxian and the others all smiled and congratulated Concubine Qiu, "A beautiful son and wife." Concubine Qiu smiled tactfully and said, "The daughter-in-law chosen by His Majesty himself is not bad." I have met Concubine Duan, Concubine Jing, Concubine Xian and others, and I have received a lot of greetings.

Concubine Jing's son, King Liang, got married earlier than the crown prince, and he was already in feudal clan, but there was no happy news, so Concubine Jing was quite anxious.She sighed, "Concubine Zheng is a blessed one at first glance, the imperial concubine will be able to have grandchildren as soon as possible." Concubine Xian knew her intentions, and said with a smile: "It's natural, it will be possible. Sister, you are too, and you will be able to have grandchildren as soon as possible." Hug grandson." Concubine Jing said with emotion, "Princess Liang has been here for two years, and she is still... oh, I won't mention it, I don't have that life."

Concubine Xian pursed her lips and smiled, "Isn't this easy to do? Elder sister, it's the selection for the King of Liang." She said the selection words lightly, and Concubine Jing and Concubine Qiu listened to each other's hearts.What if there are no grandchildren?draft ah.What should I do if I am dissatisfied with my daughter-in-law?draft ah.

Concubine Xian saw their expressions in her eyes and was secretly proud of herself.

Concubine Xian is also a person who has a son, her son is the eighth, and he is named King Rong, and his feudal land is in Guangxi.Concubine Xian is a calculating person. When her son and daughter, the Eighth Prince and Ninth Princess, were still very young, she was choosing a concubine for her son and a concubine for her daughter.In her opinion, since her son is a prince, no matter what, she should choose a lady as his concubine, and her daughter's son-in-law should be a handsome young man from a scholarly family, well-educated, courteous, and gentle.However, the Emperor Qiankun was arbitrary and would not allow her to intervene at all. After the eighth prince and ninth princess reached the age of marriage, they directly ordered the clan's mansion to choose the concubine and son-in-law.As for Concubine Xian's intentions, he didn't even ask.Concubine Rong is the daughter of a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy. Her family background and education are excellent, but her appearance is only dignified, not very beautiful, and her temper is not lively. King Rong has always disliked her and complained to Concubine Xian more than once behind her back. Pass.Concubine Xian has been thinking about drafting for King Rong, she must choose a few beautiful and smart women who fit King Rong's wishes and send them to Guangxi, so that King Rong can do what he wants.However, whether it is big or small, the draft is not something she can choose if she wants to. Seeing Concubine Jing and Concubine Qiu are both moved now, how can she be unhappy.

If a prince wants to draft, maybe he can't; if three princes want to draft, there is no way they can't.

"If King Liang and King Zheng are drafting contests, King Rong will also have a chance to choose a few concubines." Concubine Xian said with a smile.

Concubine Qiu's heart moved, "King Rong, King Liang, and King Zheng are going to be drafted. Doesn't it mean that the crown prince doesn't want to choose? He has been married for more than a year, and there is only one concubine in the Eastern Palace. It is time to widely select ladies to enrich the Eastern Palace."

Both Concubine Jing and Concubine Xian hesitated, "Is it suitable?" Concubine Jing was used to being cautious and cautious, and she didn't dare to talk to the Crown Prince even if she had nothing to do.Concubine Xian was thinking, if the crown prince was added, the Donggong Palace would have to choose the good girl first, and then it would be the turn of Rong, Liang, and Zheng.Wouldn't King Rong be disappointed if most of the stunning women were picked up by the East Palace?

"Braves are mostly selected from the common people." Concubine Xian said euphemistically, "The crown prince has a high status, and ordinary women are probably not qualified to serve him." Concubine Jing agreed very much when she heard that Concubine Xian didn't want to talk about the crown prince. "That's the reason. The heir apparent of the crown prince's kingdom is different from the younger brothers."

Concubine Qiu glanced at them contemptuously, these two were gutless, it was just a show, neither of them dared to say such an ordinary sentence!As soon as he encountered something related to the East Palace, he kept silent, so what?
They didn't dare to say it, so I said it.When the princes grow up, it is an honorable thing to draft for them and enrich the East Palace and the Royal Palace.Who can refute this statement?Who dares to refute?
The band played elegant music, and everyone hurriedly stood up.

Amidst the music, the crown prince and princess walked over side by side. Both of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, with elegant and calm demeanor.

Princess Ningshou and Princess Fushou also came in accompanied by Queen Zhang.

The guard of honor was like a cloud, and dozens of court ladies surrounded the emperor like stars holding the moon, and came slowly.

The emperor ascended the seat at the top, the seat of Empress Zhang was at the bottom on his left, and the seats of the crown prince and princess were at the bottom on his right.Amid the sound of the music, everyone bowed down in unison, and the emperor smiled, "Today is a family banquet, just talk about the family etiquette." Everyone got up to thank and took their seats.

The emperor married another daughter-in-law, of course he was very happy. He called King Zheng and Princess Zheng over and encouraged him to say a lot of good words, "...to raise the eyebrows together, to live forever, and to spread branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible..." King Zheng With Princess Zheng blushing, Weiwei agreed.

Ajiu and the crown prince heard this, and they were secretly happy, "The old man is doing this to any son." Look, you have grown up, married a wife, it's time to give birth to a grandson .

"The son who is a father is so pitiful." Ajiu and the crown prince looked at each other and smiled tacitly.
