Chapter 317

The palace is indeed much cooler than the capital city, and it is in the mountains, with towering ancient trees everywhere, and it is extremely cool, so it is a good place to cool off from the heat.

When Luo Tiandu went to bed at night, he didn't feel too hot. In the middle of the night, he sometimes had to cover him with a thin blanket, and finally he was able to sleep well.

Her life in the palace is also very rich. When Wei Que goes to practice martial arts early in the morning, he will also take her with him. Sometimes he will teach her two sets of boxing, and sometimes he will teach her archery; Taking advantage of the cool weather, I ran to meet and talk with Luo Mingdu; after lunch, I took a nap, and in the afternoon, Wei Que came to pick her up at the racecourse, and taught her how to ride a horse. Had a great time.

But even so, Luo Tiandu was also in a bad mood, not because of anything else, but because of Luo Mingdu's upcoming marriage, this trip to the palace was about the deadline given by Emperor Tianqi. After the palace returns to Beijing, Emperor Tianqi will put the matter of marriage on the agenda.

Recently, she often inquired about Fu Jingyuan's news from Wei Que, and said in private that Fu Jingyuan is indeed a rare young talent, young and promising, entered the army at a young age, and relied on himself to earn fame I don't know how much better it is than those dudes who rely on the protection of their ancestors. However, Luo Tian never wanted his eldest sister to marry into a wealthy family. Back then, the Qi family could have tossed Luo Ming to death. She had so much hope, in her heart, Cheng Sheng, who also came from a grassroots background, was actually more suitable for Luo Mingdu.

Emperor Tianqi's thoughts, the queen who has been his pillow for decades, naturally knows, relying on the name of the barbecue, picked a cloudy afternoon with little sun exposure, and called the female relatives in the Shangxing Palace to watch a few A prince and grandson hunted.

Of course, the hunting grounds in the palace are not as large as the royal hunting grounds. The prey in them are also tame prey that are raised and put into the field. The largest ones are nothing more than deer, and the ferocious beasts don’t even have a single hair. That’s it. It was also the guards who drove the wild beasts out. The princes and grandsons just put on a show, shot a few arrows, and whatever they could hunt was what they wanted.

This is a routine that happens every year. This year, Emperor Tianqi is not here, and there is no one to contend for favor with. The princes and grandchildren are not very enthusiastic. He is extremely busy, not only to drive away the prey, but also to ensure that the princes and grandchildren can hunt the prey that suits their respective identities. Stealing the demeanor of the clan, this is really a big technical job.

You must know that the station outside the hunting field is headed by Empress Ning, almost including the highest-status female group in the entire Daqing Dynasty. If they perform well, they will win the favor of any wife, and they may have a daughter-in-law after returning.

Luo Tiandu also stood outside the hunting ground, watched for a long time, and in good conscience, these generals and guards who were born as warriors are actually pretty good, of course, the most outstanding one is Fu Jingyuan.

"Queen, who is that person?" The sixth princess, who had been married for many years, asked the queen beside her.

Empress Ning took a closer look, there were people everywhere, she didn't see who the sixth princess was talking about, and asked her, "Which one are you talking about?"

"That's the one just now, wearing silver armor and riding a black horse, looking majestic."

Empress Ning said with a smile: "That's the eldest son of General Xuanwei, Captain Fu Jingyuan."

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, everyone couldn't help but look into the distance. It happened that Fu Jingyuan drove a few wild deer out of the forest, and the princes who were guarding outside immediately put up their bows and shot arrows, "Shu!" With a loud noise, two wild deer were knocked down, and another two took the opportunity to run away.

Naturally, Luo Mingdu also took a curious look, and also felt that Fu Jingyuan was good. Affected by Luo Tiandu's aesthetics, Luo Mingdu's current preferences are more masculine and bright military generals, and it doesn't matter to weak scholars interest.

Empress Ning loves Luo Mingdu and takes it with her wherever she goes, just like her own granddaughter.She has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son is dead, and the two daughters are married, and now there is only one eighth prince by her side, Luo Ming is gentle, except for Emperor Tianqi's face, Empress Ning has always hated Luo Ming in private Also really like it.

She knew that Emperor Tianqi intended to grant Luo Mingdu to Fu Jingyuan, so she deliberately said: "Jingyuan has been very intelligent since he was a child, capable of both literature and martial arts. He entered the military camp when he was 15 years old. Relying on myself, earning my way in the barracks with all my might, this is my good man in Daqing."

The ladies also nodded one after another. Although they felt that Fu Jingyuan was capable, he was a bit stupid. General Xuanwei was such a big tree that he could not rely on it. He insisted on going to the battlefield to fight with all his might. If you are unlucky and die outside, you will lose everything.

The sixth princess has a young daughter. Her husband-in-law died the year before last. The sixth princess pitied her that she was going to be a widow at a young age, so she took her back and thought about marrying her again, but because of her age and family status, she has never been married. Picking the right one, now that she saw that Fu Jingyuan was young, promising, and very handsome, she moved her mind and decided to marry her youngest daughter to him. make plans.

The other wives also opened their eyes to watch, they are not stupid, most of those who can enter the arena to accompany the princes and grandchildren to hunt at this time are of status and have some abilities themselves, they are definitely not cowards.They are all wives from aristocratic families. There are not many other things in the family, but they have many children. Regardless of whether they are born or concubined, and whether they like it or hate them in their hearts, since some people are born and raised, they must be sent to the West. Let them start a family and start a business, marry the one who should marry, marry the one who should marry, and choosing a son-in-law and daughter-in-law has become a big problem. Now that there is such a good opportunity, it is natural to open your eyes and choose carefully. If you can finally pick out a son-in-law , This trip to the palace is not in vain.

It's just that no matter how outstanding Fu Jingyuan is, in comparison, he is a bit older, and he is married, and has a son in his family. Many ladies just think that he is very outstanding, and it is a pity that his condition It doesn't fit, but I never thought of it on him.People of their status, even if they are concubine daughters, it is impossible to marry them to fill in people's houses and help others raise their children. Otherwise, when their own daughters also give birth to a boy and a half daughter, how will they get along with the children in front of them?
There are also a few smart ones, looking at Luo Mingdu, and then looking at Fu Jingyuan in the field, they are somewhat enlightened.

It's not stupid for them to be able to get to this position, and they vaguely guessed the purpose of the queen during this trip to the palace.Although the Luo family and the royal family did not publicize that Luo Mingdu was the great-grandson of the Great Confucianism back then, as long as you have seen Gu Qionghua and then looked at Luo Mingdu, you can guess what is going on. The emperor is getting old and nostalgic. Well, if the Gu family had been undefeated back then, Gu Qionghua would have been the queen, and there would be no such thing as Empress Ning now.

Co-authoring this trip to the palace, it was the old emperor who changed the way to let the little lady of the Luo family see what her future husband-in-law looks like, and they are all supporting.

Everyone understood the thoughts of the emperor and empress, so they naturally stopped trying to subdue Jingyuan's idea, and turned their attention to the other heroic sons.

Empress Ning was naturally very happy because of Fu Jingyuan's outstanding performance. After the hunt was over, she didn't let Luo Tiandu go back early. Instead, she invited her to have dinner together - roast venison.

In summer, the temperature is high, and Luo Tiandu actually doesn't like to eat, let alone eat barbecue, but the queen invites him, even if he doesn't like it, he has to accept it with a smile on his face.

Empress Ning is the empress. No matter which prince hunts something, as usual, the first one is to pay tribute to Empress Ning. Empress Ning only picked up a few pieces of fresh venison, and asked them to set up a grill for roasting at night. Others It's all distributed to others.

The chefs in the palace are really good at cooking. The venison is roasted so fragrant that Luo Tian couldn't help but eat two pieces. She thought Wei Que seemed to like eating this, but she didn't know that the game hunted today was delicious. It was not sent there.

Empress Ning looked at her thoughtfully, and said: "Just eat, I have already ordered someone to deliver a copy to Lord Wei."

Luo Tiandu smiled and thanked him.

Empress Ning laughed and said: "Others only say that you have a little temper, but how could you think of it, but you are a man who is dedicated to your husband, even thinking about him when eating a piece of meat, they all looked away, but Lord Wei has it." vision."

Luo Tian thought to himself, if Wei Que hadn't been kind to her, she wouldn't have thought of him in everything. When people get along with each other, they always treat each other with respect.

Others praised Luo Tiandu, but Luo Mingdu was very happy to be the elder sister, and smiled with her lips pursed.

Empress Ning just turned her head, pretending to be careless and said to Luo Mingdu: "Mingdu, I remember you are 25 this year, right?"

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Go back to the empress, the daughter of the people is indeed twenty and five."

Empress Ning smiled and said, "You're not young anymore, if there is someone suitable, why don't you find someone to live with?"

Luo Ming lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. It took him a long time to raise his head, and said: "To tell you the truth, the empress, a commoner girl was married before, but the fate is not so good. After two years of marriage, she broke up with her husband's family. My daughter doesn't even want to remarry, she only has one wish, to help my mother raise my younger brother, so that when my parents get old, they can have someone to rely on, and other folk girls don't expect too much."

Empress Ning frowned and sighed: "You are still young, life is not so easy, even for Lord Luo and Mrs. Luo, you can no longer have such thoughts, whoever is a parent does not want their children to have a lifetime of happiness." If you can rely on each other and support each other until you grow old, you will be my daughter-in-law..."

Empress Ning was thinking of her deceased eldest son. After the death of the first prince, except for the concubine and the other two concubines with children, the other concubines who had nothing to do were at the discretion of Emperor Tianqi, who sent them home to remarry. Contributed to the population growth of the Daqing Dynasty.

It was only then that Luo Tiandu remembered that the Daqing Dynasty was indeed very tolerant of widows' remarriage. Because of the wars in the early years, the population dropped sharply, and the court did not approve of women's observance of chastity after the death of their husbands, especially young widows. Usually, two sets of dowry are paid out of silver to encourage remarried women.

Emperor Apocalypse set an example, and even asked his daughter-in-law to remarry.

Empress Ning said this, and asked again: "What do you think of Fu Jingyuan today?"
