Chapter 451 Princesses
Chapter 451 Princesses
The two masters and servants have similar temperaments, and seeing that Zhou Jing's son-in-law can sit here with the princess and look at the portrait to choose a daughter-in-law, and the housekeeper and nanny are by his side, he knows that the relationship must be very harmonious.
The eunuch in charge here guards the second door as soon as he enters. It can be seen that the nanny in charge here should have the right to speak than the father-in-law in charge.
The four of them sat together, mainly listening to Princess Chongqing talking to the little prince.
The little prince asked directly: "Why didn't you tell the emperor's grandmother or father?"
The princess of Chongqing sighed: "I said...those slaves can only fool around with smooth talk, and after they come back, won't they be restrained? Besides, the younger sisters are gentle and honest, and the emperor always takes care of everything. Can you take care of this nonsense?"
The most important thing is that if you manage them, you will offend the entire inner prison. These nuns in charge are all involved with those grand dukes, either as daughters or fellow villagers, or they have benefits and can be promoted to the grand dukes.
Because they are all on their own, the princess of Chongqing took it as a lesson for her little nephew, and briefly talked about the situation of the princesses.
In fact, not all princesses are bullied, after all, they are golden branches and jade leaves.
And those princesses who were bullied didn't have any siblings, look at Princess Yixing.
She is the sixth daughter of Emperor Yingzong, her mother is Concubine Wei De, and her elder brother is Huiwang Zhu Jianpei.
Because King Hui was the ninth son of Emperor Yingzong, he had a son when he was old, and the late emperor still liked the younger son very much, so the son and daughter born to Concubine Wei De were the heart and soul of Emperor Yingzong in his old age.
And because they were young, they could not threaten Emperor Xianzong's crown prince at all, so Emperor Xianzong was also willing to take care of his younger brothers and sisters. It can be said that Emperor Yingzong took on the role of "father" after Longyu Bintian. As a character, it is not counted to bring up those younger brothers and sisters, but also to give them a family and entrust them.
Concubine Wei De also knows how to be a human being, and the Empress Dowager Zhou treated her well.
Therefore, Princess Yixing finally chose the son of a landowner in the suburbs of Beijing to be her son-in-law, that is, her son-in-law Ma Cheng.
No one in the son-in-law's family is an official, let alone an aristocratic family. The princess has the final say in the entire princess mansion. In addition, although the princess is young, she has a strong personality. Concubine Degui, who is she afraid of?
If the housekeeper's wife dares to bark her teeth, she dares to be dragged down to beat the board.
Therefore, Princess Yixing lived a very chic life, and her small life was not much worse than that of Princess Chongqing.
But Princess Longqing also has a brother. The brother was canonized as King Xiuhuai, and he is the fifth son of the late emperor.
Moreover, my mother was once the concubine Shu of the late emperor, and her mother's family name was Gao. Unfortunately, after the Gao family was a prisoner, Concubine Gao Shu first served in Nangong as the court lady of Emperor Yingzong who was still the "Supreme Emperor".
Because she came here through thick and thin, and she was gentle, she was favored by Empress Dowager Qian, and was taken in by Emperor Yingzong to serve her. Only in his later years did he have a title.
No, Princess Longqing's son-in-law is You Tai.
Who is You Tai?
The son-in-law Youtai, named Zhongheng and named Dongyuan, was born in Jiaomuzhuang, Northwest Township, Yancheng, Jiangsu.
I used to be a guard with a knife in front of the imperial court, and I was the leader of the guards in all dynasties (responsible for the safety and security of Emperor Xianzong).
You Heisi is the ancestor of the You Clan in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. He once followed Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the world.
And this Youtai's son-in-law's uncle Youqi (styled Yanzhen), grandfather Youlin (styled Yanqing), and father Youjie (styled Sichi) are also Qianhu.
Don't think that Qianhu is nothing in the capital, but outside, he is also a person in charge of power.
The result was also a decline. Princess Longqing got married in Chenghua nine years and died in Chenghua 15 years. She gave birth to two daughters in six years of marriage.
But Wu Youwei knew that this You Tai was very famous. Although he married the princess and the princess died young, he himself had five daughters and twelve sons.
It is recorded in history: "Liu Wen, Marquis of Anyuan, Zhang Lun, Duke of England, Cao Dong, Uncle Fengrun, Xu Shen, Commander of Tengxiang Right, and Tan Lun, Boss of Xinning, are all their son-in-laws."
This daughter is so worth giving birth to, the sons-in-law that the five daughters are looking for are all talented!
It's not the leading general who holds the real power, but the lord of the lord.
Unfortunately, Princess Longqing will not be able to enjoy this honor.
Princess Longqing, who passed away early, who dares to say that her beautiful face died early, not because of being tortured by the servants?
"Princess has the way of life of a princess, and the life of golden branches and jade leaves is no different from that of ordinary people." Princess Chongqing said: "If you have the ability to suppress your servants, you will live more comfortably. …”
To put it bluntly, it all depends on how you live this day.
The atmosphere was a little frozen, and everyone was in a bad mood.
Concubine Zhou Jing opened a portrait, and presented it to Wantong in a serious manner: "Master Wan, please give me a hand, what do you think of this girl? She is 17 years old this year, just as beautiful as a flower. My family Zhou Xian this year."
Wantong glanced coldly, and said unceremoniously: "This is not good, this girl has a vicious heart, she beats and scolds the maid every day, and even her nurse's arm was broken by her."
Upon hearing this, Princess Chongqing gasped, "Oh my God!"
Zhou Jing's son-in-law was also stunned: "Huh?"
The girls in these portraits are the daughters of the right age that the princess of Chongqing saw or heard of when she attended flower viewing parties, tea tasting parties and other women's gatherings outside.
Then a list was drawn up, Zhou Jing's son-in-law took the medicine according to the prescription, and entrusted someone to find the portrait.
And those who can be sent to them are all carefully selected, and there are special personnel to investigate the character and family background, and then screen out some concubines and out-of-laws.
The only thing left is for them to choose in the end, then show the portrait to their son, and finally enter the palace, or beg the queen mother, or beg the queen, and give them a marriage.
The one with a bigger face is to ask the emperor for a marriage.
As a result, Wantong leaked out the girl's background at a glance.
"How did you know...?" Prince Consort Zhou Jing couldn't believe it.
This girl is the prospect of a relative's family of one of his classmates.
His classmates said that the girl usually had a good reputation among her relatives, and she took pity on the poor and the weak.
The mother in the family is also a virtuous person, and the female family members such as grandmother and grandmother are also good, so he brought the portrait to the princess for a look.
"There is nothing in this world that Jinyiwei and Dongchang don't know about." Wantong said flatly: "One time when we had a tea chat with Shang Ming, the supervisor of the Shang Factory, he mentioned this girl, just because there was going to be a talent show at that time. The woman was also on the draft list at the time, and was the first one to be eliminated by the director of the factory, and said how could such a vicious woman step into the harem? It is simply dirty the threshold of the harem... "
During the draft... Isn't this girl old enough!
The princess of Chongqing no longer cared about those matters of the princesses, and immediately took another portrait and showed it to Wantong: "Then what about this daughter?"
Wantong also took a look: "Her subjects are not very familiar with her, but her brothers are very famous, because their family values boys and despises girls, and the children and grandchildren in the next generation are used to being more than one dude, and they don't want to read every day. Enterprising or practicing martial arts to protect the family and defend the country, you know how to tease cats and dogs and cause trouble. Today my brother slept with an oiran, and tomorrow my brother can sleep with him. There are too many nasty things. If you talk too much, you will stain the princess' ears. What is she like? Don't think about it for now, even if she is married, her natal family will come to ask for help in the future if there is anything, it is enough to worry about."
"Do you want this one?" Princess Chongqing quickly rolled up the portrait and put it aside.
Zhou Jing's son-in-law also put the portraits in his hands over there. The girls in the two portraits might never enter the gate of Zhou's house in this lifetime.
Concubine Zhou Jing changed another portrait: "What about this one? What about this one?"
Wantong frowned: "This one has body odor."
Wu Youwei was stunned. He knew all about this...?
"Are you...really? H Even Wang Zhen, the head of the East Palace, can't stand it anymore.
"Didn't you find out? This daughter never goes out to visit friends in summer. She also said that she gets dizzy in summer and is afraid of heatstroke. She always stays at home to cool off, or goes to another hospital to recuperate." Wantong said with a straight face. Said: "Actually, it's because the clothes are thin in summer and you sweat easily. No matter how much face powder you put on, it can't cover up the body odor."
Princess Chongqing thought about it, isn't it!
This daughter has a strong fragrance. The aunt of her maternal ancestral home married a spice merchant, who gave her a lot of powder and spices every year, and she smells delicious every day....
Coupled with the fact that she is a bit weaker, no one has suspected that she is trying to cover up her body odor for many years.
The little prince also took a portrait with great interest. He just took one at random and asked Wang Zhen to open it for him. He pointed to a girl with a cute smile on it and said, "What about her? What about her?"
"I don't know what happened to this girl, but her mother's conduct was not good and she was jealous. None of her father's concubines gave birth to a child. There was no way. There were only three daughters in her family, and her father was there An outer room was raised outside, and two sons were born."
This girl's mother is amazing!
Wu Youwei wanted to see what kind of girl she was, but Wantong blocked his sight intentionally or unintentionally.
Wu Youwei: "...!!!"
Then there was another portrait for Wan to pass through.
Wantong doesn't know if it's really too dedicated, or Jin Yiwei is so powerful, he can tell something about the girls in every portrait, and it's all private things that outsiders don't know, from family members, to themselves, and even It's something they may have forgotten, but Wantong knows it all!
Wu Youwei rubbed his chin, and heard that Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty was at its most powerful, even the ministers slept with several concubines at night, and they knew what color bellybands the concubines were wearing... That was too much. ...so what!
Do ministers still have privacy?
Wantong sat there leisurely and commented on all the portraits, none of them were private, and only three of them were better.
One was born to the ex-wife of the official's family. The stepmother attached great importance to her upbringing. The girl she raised didn't know what was good or bad, and she was raised purely as a waste.
The other is poor health, severe cold, cold hands and feet in one winter day, and if you want to have children in the future, you must first get medical treatment.
The last one is that the women in their family don't live very long, and the possibility of hidden diseases cannot be ruled out.
Just these three are pretty good.
The princess of Chongqing lost her energy: "Not one of them is good!"
"My son-in-law will look for it again!" Zhou Jing's son-in-law gritted his teeth: "We can always find a suitable candidate."
The eldest son of their family, Zhou Xian, is a good boy, plus the status of the princess is noble, and he is also the emperor's sister. This week, Zhou Xian's marriage has been dragged on for a year and a year, and it seems that he is about to be crowned weak. It can't be delayed any longer.
The princess of Chongqing also wants to embrace her grandson as soon as possible!
"If you find it, please ask Mr. Wan to take a look and give it a palm." Although Princess Chongqing said it to Zhou Jing's son-in-law, her eyes were on Wantong.
Wantong clasped his fists together: "Thanks to the trust of the princess and the son-in-law, I will definitely show the eldest son a good look. This marriage must not be sloppy."
When he said it, he was looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
His Royal Highness seemed to know what his little uncle meant: "Yes, don't be careless, cousin Xian's daughter-in-law is the lonely cousin!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I must marry a virtuous and virtuous cousin to His Royal Highness." Princess Chongqing touched the little prince's hand: "Let's have lunch here today."
"Okay!" The little prince hadn't eaten at his aunt's house yet.
"Mommy, go to the kitchen and tell them to serve the best dishes. Also, His Royal Highness is still young, so you can't eat things that are too hard, too sweet or sour, not even spicy ones.
"Princess Chongqing deserves to be a mother. She gave her instructions carefully: "Don't let it be too cold, let alone salty...." "
