Chapter 69

The prince was silent for a long time.My mother once smiled and told herself, "It's best to accept three concubines. Shu'er is your cousin, so naturally she should be the main wife. The daughters of the Zhang family and the daughters of the Wei family should be side concubines." It turned out that it was only the mother's intention , my father never agreed.

The prince prostrated himself on the ground, and begged: "Father, please allow your son to marry Ah Yi as his concubine." It would be best if he could accept three concubines. He could get what he wanted, and his mother could have a daughter-in-law as she wished.If not, he would still marry Ah Yi.

"Children's marriages must be ordered by their parents." The emperor was very patient, "Xiao Jiu, your mother likes Xu Shu far more than she likes Ai." The queen may even hate Ai, who is Shen Mai's beloved granddaughter .

"But father, you like Ah Yi." The prince blurted out.Parents order, father is still ahead of mother, not to mention that this is the emperor's house, and the owner is the emperor who promises everything.Shouldn't it be based on the father's will?

The emperor smiled lovingly, "I love Ayi as much as my own daughter. Therefore, I cannot bear to miss her." Because I really like her and love her so much, I will not marry her to you.Knowing that your mother has other ideas, you insist on marrying Ah Yi, but why bother.

I have only neglected Ah Yi for three months, and the queen has already given birth to the idea of ​​"A Yi can be a side concubine", and you once acquiesced.Such and such, how could I allow you to marry Ah Yi?If I go in the future and leave Ayi alone in the palace, with such a mother-in-law and such a husband, no matter how good Ayi is, he will be alone.Forget it, what An Jieyu said makes sense. If a girl wants to live a safe and smooth life, she still needs her parents-in-law and husband to love her sincerely.Prosperity and wealth are not the most important thing.

"I love Ayi as much as my own daughter. Therefore, I can't bear to miss her." The emperor's words were actually very serious, and the prince's heart felt cold for a while, and he said in a low voice: "In the last month, when my mother talked about the establishment of a concubine, It means Shuer is right and Ah Yi is the side. The son thought, if this is the case, the mother has a daughter-in-law who likes to serve her, and the son has a woman who likes to accompany her, which is the best of both worlds..." What happened in the palace? I can hide it from my father, although it is not yet conclusive, my father must already know.That's why I said, "I can't bear to miss her."

"It is indeed the best of both worlds." The emperor nodded gently, "You and your mother are both beautiful." Except for Ah Yi.If this is the case, Ah Yi will be miserable.When she urinates, she is loved by thousands of people, but when she grows up, she will be subservient to Xu Shu and become a concubine.

The prince laughed at himself, "The son first agreed to his mother. After returning to the palace, he thought about it. It was very inappropriate. Ah Yi is proud by nature, how can he be willing to be a side concubine? The son thought for a few days, and then went to beg his mother. , please don't wrong Ai." I made a mistake, but I changed it later.

The emperor said gently: "I know." How can you hide from me what you mother and son have said and done.I know it all.The queen is leaning towards Xu Shu from the beginning to the end, you are swinging between Xu Shu and Ah Yi, I know.

The prince's voice was bitter, "My son has made up his mind since he was seven or eight years old to marry Ah Yi as his concubine..." I always thought that Ah Yi was definitely my concubine, and I couldn't escape no matter what.Her father liked her, and he liked her, and she was destined to belong to him.

"Don't think too much." The emperor said calmly, "Whether it's the concubine or the empress, they all have to manage the harem. With Xu Shu's talent, he will take advantage of his position to manage the harem." The man from the Xu family Unable to live up to expectations, so spare no effort to cultivate women.Xu Shu can also be regarded as the best among girls.

There was an indescribable indifference and alienation in the emperor's voice, the prince's heart froze, he did not dare to say anything more, and bowed to leave.After leaving the Palace of Qinzheng, a gust of cold wind blew in front of him, and the prince shivered uncontrollably.

Daoist Jingxiao was dizzy with joy, "Tell me, Ah De, how could the empress be so stupid?" Even she, who was born in a family of petty officials and regarded by the emperor as a woman with little knowledge, could tell that the emperor was alienated from Ah Yi. It's testing!Empress Xu is not a fool, nor is she blind, how could she not see through, how could she have the idea of ​​making A Ni a side concubine?The men of the Nanning Marquis Mansion are all quite heroic, and they all have illustrious military exploits, and they are not the Xu family who are useless and can only thrive by sending their daughters to the palace!

The eldest prince just laughed and didn't speak.The queen can't be regarded as particularly stupid, it's just an ordinary woman's attitude.To marry a daughter-in-law, she naturally wants to marry a niece from her natal family who is close to her. It is best to marry as the main concubine.Anyway, with her mother-in-law around, the niece can't suffer at all.

But I don't want to think about how the Marquis of Nanning would know this and marry their only daughter!Husband-in-law loves his cousin, mother-in-law loves his side concubine, if Ah Yi gets married, how can he live a good life?As for wanting Ah Yi to be a side concubine, that was a joke at all, presumably it was because Empress Xu hadn't woken up.

With his father's love for Ah Yi, if he heard that Empress Xu wanted to accept Ah Yi as a side concubine, he would be furious, right?Thinking of this, the eldest prince felt happy, Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu, you have been a queen for so many years in vain, and you don't know what kind of temperament your father has!

Master Jingxiao smiled, "Ah De, in this way, won't the prince make your father unhappy?" This is a very good thing.The emperor had a total of eleven princes, and more than half of them died young. Only the eldest prince, fourth prince, sixth prince, ninth prince, and tenth prince survived.The fourth prince and the sixth prince are mediocre, and their wives and daughters who are common people have already entered the feudal domain.The tenth prince is still young, only nine years old.The only one who can compete with the prince in front of him is the eldest prince.

The prince is also a fool, no matter who he likes in his heart, he will do everything possible to marry Ah Yi first!In the emperor's hundred years, who does the prince want to pamper and accept? Doesn't it all depend on his will?Why bother to come, it has not been a few years since the Fujun supervised the country, and there was a estrangement with the emperor in advance for the sake of relatives.The more Master Jingxiao thought about it, the more he felt that the prince was a fool.

"Ah De, you are a good boy, but I heard it said, don't make your father angry." Jingxiao Daoist confessed: "Don't be like a prince, and fight with your father." Don't please your father.

The eldest prince smiled and agreed, "Yes, mother, I listen to you." His father is a wise king, and what he cares most about is He Qinghaiyan, the world's great harmony, and how to make the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment.I really want to win Xiaojiu, but these housework is not enough, I need to work hard on military and state affairs.However, as long as you know these things in your heart, you don't need to tell your mother, she doesn't understand.

The next day, when the eldest prince came to pay his respects to the emperor, he mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, "I haven't seen Ai for a long time, it's strange. Father, please tell me, why do I think of Ai, and I always feel like my little sister?" Very kind." The First Prince said this frankly, he always said that, and never changed his tone.

The emperor smiled slightly, "What's so difficult about it, let Ayi be your little sister." The eldest prince said pleasantly, "Really? Father, you can consider Ayi to be your goddaughter. In this way, Ayi will become my daughter." little sister."

The emperor nodded, "Sure." In the past, because he had the idea of ​​marrying a daughter-in-law, he never gave Ayi a title.Now that the marriage is over, it's time to recognize Ah Yi and become in-laws with Zhang Xi and An Jieyu.

Zhang Yu was not very happy. "Your Majesty, my daughter has been capricious since she was a child. I'm afraid she is not as graceful and magnanimous as a royal woman, and she will embarrass the royal family." Don't restrain my daughter, you will make my daughter do this or that, and make the child very depressed.

The emperor was in a good mood, "you can rest assured, Ayi is pure and beautiful, and she is a beautiful girl." Who would dare to pick on Ayi?Jinyiwei has a school lieutenant in charge of the court staff, who is not afraid of being beaten and humiliated, stand up and let me take a look.

"The little girl has relied on her grandfather and parents since she was a child, and has to go home every day."

"allow."

"Little girls are free and easy, don't ask the ladies in the palace to teach them with a straight face."

"allow."

"The little girl's marriage must naturally be ordered by her parents."

The emperor smiled, "Don't worry, Qing. Except for going to the palace every three to five days to talk with me, everything else remains the same." You can't let the Ayihou's mansion and the palace run for nothing. Giving the child a title and a salary is not enough. Too much.

That's about the same.Zhang Yu, the father, was very relieved, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, you are really a son of heaven!" Well, I followed you in the rebellion back then, and I finally followed the wrong person.

Interpretation is inevitable.It's not a bad thing for one more person to love Yaya.What's more, this person is an autocratic emperor with more than [-] people, and a model worker who is diligent in governing and caring for the people.Yaya readily agreed, "I just said, he really loves me!" Don't always think that I am a child who doesn't understand anything.Children are smart, who treats me well and who treats me badly, I feel like a mirror in my heart.

The eighth day of October was a good day. Yaya was brought into the palace by Zhang Yu and Xie Yu, worshiped the emperor as her adoptive father, was named "Hanshan Princess", and received a salary of one thousand shi.Yaya has always been close to the emperor, she called out "Father" smoothly and never felt embarrassed.

But never called the queen "mother".The emperor smiled and said, "I snatched Ah Yi from Zhang Qing and his wife, but I can't share it with others. Empress, you can't snatch my daughter from me." Empress Xu was upset, and forced a smile: "How dare my concubine .”

Originally thought that Zhang Ni was already in his pocket, but the Marquis of Nanning would disdain his daughter as a concubine, and would rather worship at the emperor's knee as a goddaughter and get the title of princess.Compared with the crown princess, the princess's rank is far worse!As a woman, how can I get more honor than being a concubine?I really don't know what the Zhang family is thinking.

The eldest prince smiled and took out a rare jasper rabbit as a meeting gift, "Ayi, you will have a big brother in the future. Tell the big brother what you need, don't be polite." This jasper rabbit was carved from a whole block of ice filled with green jadeite. It is crystal clear and dazzling, very precious.

"Thank you, big brother." Yaya saluted and thanked.The eldest prince is very careful. Knowing that he is a rabbit, he specially carved a jasper rabbit for him, which is considered intentional.It's so rare that the green one is so beautiful.

The prince's face was pale.How could Ah Yi be her own sister?That was the girl I had planned to marry since I was a child.What's so good about being a princess, I don't know which ordinary person to marry in the future.Ai, I don't allow it.

After the ceremony, Zhang Yu and Xie Yu took Yaya out of the palace and back home.Many people came to congratulate Nanning Marquis Mansion, including old friends, old friends and new friends.There are quite a few people who can speak eloquently, "Missy is a lucky one at first sight!" After boasting halfway, she hurriedly changed her mouth, "Look at me, I can no longer be called Missy, it is Your Highness the Princess!"

Xie Liunian also came to congratulate Mrs.The fourth wife keeps her filial piety, and the Mu family's children are too young to go out.The eldest wife took Xie Ruinian, Xie Jinnian, and Xie Liunian out of the house. Xie Liunian met Yaya, not to mention anything else, and made sure with her, "Yaya, do you really have a thousand shi salary?" The annual salary is a thousand shi, Yaya, you are so rich.

"Really!" Yaya smiled and Mimi pulled Xie Liunian, "Little boy, I can lose for a long time with my salary of a thousand stones." Let's play cards again, you have the ability to win all my salary for this year !
