Chapter 261 The marriage has changed
On that day, even if we could only drink some vegetarian wine, everyone gathered until late at night. Zhuhua thought that Yuan Tai had to take a break, so she didn't bother him the second time. The next day, she gave him the list of the three ladies to him and let him go and have time to check it out. The Changsui, who had been staying in the Prince's Mansion, had inquired about the habits of these ladies in advance. After Yuan Tai asked, he saw that it was okay now, and immediately followed him to check out the true appearance of the three ladies. After one day, he met two of them, and he had not seen another ladies named Zhao.
After returning home, he went to the Pingwang Mansion to take a small seat. When he went to the front yard, he saw Tuantuan being in charge of the director. After a few years of not seeing Tuantuan, he became more calm and calm. When he saw him, she smiled and got up, and asked someone to have a good tea. He also talked about the books he had read recently. As he talked about the three ladies he was looking at. Tuantuan and these three had seen each other, and the impression was pretty good. Among them, Miss Zhao was the most elegant and was the most in line with her.
When Yuan Tai heard this, he chose Miss Zhao in his heart. The next day he secretly went to take a look and saw that she was indeed a elegant and generous woman, and he was even more willing. Zhuhua got his reply and immediately handed over the sign to the palace. The empress dowager in the palace happened to tell her that when she saw her handing over the sign, she sighed helplessly.
Zhuhua didn't know what the Empress Dowager had encountered, so she said a few words after entering the palace. However, the Empress Dowager took the initiative to ask her: "Did the Prince of Nanyang not be optimistic about others yet?"
Zhuhua was about to say that she had already chosen her, but the empress dowager continued: "If you don't have a chance, it's just right. The wife of Duke Qing said yesterday that her parents' family had a granddaughter at home, and she was in the middle of her marriage. The Ai family also saw that girl, and she was in a good match with the Prince of Nanyang. If the Prince of Nanyang has not yet chosen her, why not choose this Lu Erniang."
Zhuhua was slightly stunned. She remembered that Lu Erniang was not on the initial list, but she knew that this marriage could not be easily rejected. Duke Qing was Zhang Guojiu, the lady from Zhang Guojiu's wife's house. How did they recommend it?
"The Empress Dowager also knows that the Prince of Nanyang has only lived in Prince Ping's Mansion for a while, and I have to ask him what he means for his marriage."
"This is the reason. Remember to ask after you go back, so that he should not miss a good marriage."
"yes."
Zhuhua talked with the Empress Dowager for a while, and then confessed to the palace. After getting on the carriage, she did not return to the house immediately, but went to the Hanlin Academy.
The guards guarding the Hanlin Courtyard recognized the carriage of the Prince Ping's Mansion. He heard that Princess Ping came to find Prince Ping, so he hurriedly asked someone to go in and spread the message, and was curious if something had happened in the mansion. After hearing the news from the doorman, King Ping hurriedly came out from inside, and was a little surprised to see her.
"I met a man who looked like you on the street and disappeared in a flash. It seems that I was wrong." She smiled faintly.
The people around him knew it. It turned out that Princess Ping was here to check Prince Ping's whereabouts and lamented for Prince Ping. However, Prince Ping knew that it was not for this, so he pulled her to the corner and looked at her in a panic.
"Why are you doing this? Let others arrange you again."
"It's okay, I look interesting." She looked at it, paused for a moment, and squeezed out a sentence, "Mrs. Qingguo Gong wants her mother's family to marry Yuan Tai. What do you think?"
"Duke Qing?" King Ping hesitated for a moment and said, "You go home first and ask Yuan Tai what he meant, and it will be decided to make the matter later."
"Okay." Zhuhua nodded, raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "Then I'll go back first, you can pay the right amount."
"Yes, Xiao Wang must keep in mind the princess's teachings."
King Ping responded, and stepped forward to help her get onto the carriage, standing at the gate of the Hanlin Academy watching the carriage leave. He was relieved and turned around and entered. The guards looked at each other, with amazement and pity in their eyes. It seemed that the rumors of Princess Ping's fierceness were true. Such a petite person didn't know how to subdue Princess Ping.
Zhuhua returned to the palace and heard that Yuan Tai had come forward to meet friends, so she first asked Qiu Chu to find out about Lu Erniang's character. Qiu Chu was quick, and immediately found a lot of things back and forth.
If we say that Lu Erniang is quite famous in the capital, her father is Mrs. Zhang's only nephew, and she is Mrs. Zhang's only nephew, and she has been favored since she was a child. She has a reputation as a arrogant lady among her peers. She also claims to be beautiful and she never takes some people who are proposing to marry her. It is no wonder that she is so arrogant with an aunt like Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang also spoils her and does not take these rumors seriously.
In recent days, this Lu Erniang has been making a big fuss at home. The reason is that she saw Yuan Tai on the day the army returned to the city. In fact, if it weren't for the round bouquet of flowers, she might not have noticed this black boy, nor did she know that he would be the Prince of Nanyang. After returning, she was obsessed with Yuan Tai, and the family was looking for a marriage for her, so she told her mother that she would marry the Prince of Nanyang.
Her mother knew that her daughter was too willful and had wanted to take care of her before, but her husband and aunt always told her not to be too restrictive. Now she couldn't control her, but they blamed her for not teaching her daughter well. Mrs. Lu thought that she would marry soon, and the prince of Nanyang had no parents, so she could marry. She had to bother her aunt, otherwise the Lu family would not be able to get into such a good marriage.
Last year, Zhang Guojiu said he was sick and did not pay tribute. The emperor was grateful to him for working hard for state affairs all his life and named him Duke Qing. He repeatedly refused while he was sick and was finally granted the title.
However, there is a reason for this. Because the emperor strongly promoted officials from non-Zhang Sect, which aroused dissatisfaction from Zhang Guojiu, he pretended to be sick at home. When he was away, the Ministry of Personnel was in chaos, and several other ministers all claimed to be sick and did not pay tribute. Later, Princess Changle offered a suggestion and asked the emperor to give Zhang Guojiu a reward, stabilize him first, and gave the emperor a list of several trustworthy Zhang Sect officials. Because of this, Princess Changle recently entered the palace, and the emperor always asked her to go over and discuss matters, but she refused, so she had to go.
The wife of the Duke of Qing knew about Lu Erniang's thoughts, and thought that the marriage was good. The woman of the Lu family could be the wife of the Duke of Qing, and naturally she could be the princess of the county, even at a higher position. After discussing with Duke of Qing, Duke of Qing also agreed. Recently, Yuan Heng of the Ministry of Personnel had quite a complaint about his decisions, and he happened to let him know through this matter, and he had to support him.
In the evening, King Tai and Ping happened to return to the mansion at the same time, so he did not go to his mansion and went directly to the mansion. King Ping looked at him, thought for a while, called him to a corner first, and told him about Lu Erniang.
"This may be aggrieved you. You are the son of Emperor Huizhuang and have some affection with Duke Qing, but the lord and his affection have been exhausted. If you marry a woman from the Lu family, you can calm him down for a while and let the lord breathe a sigh of relief. But your wife and husband are not in trouble. If you marry her, there will be no peace in the family in the future, and even the one next to you will not be happy."
When Yuan Tai heard this, his energetic smile on his face gradually faded after returning from the war. He suddenly felt like this was Chang'an. He looked at his seventh uncle, thought about the one next to him, and finally curled his lips and smiled.
"I have to go to the border after the New Year. Will she go to the border with me?"
King Ping pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "I don't know either, let's see what the Zhang family thinks."
After the two of them entered the room, Zhuhua looked at King Ping and Tai Yuan who came in at the same time, and didn't know if they had any air. Zhuhua thought about it, waved to Tai Yuan, and called him to the room next to him.
"Did the person the eldest brother likes doesn't like him?" Jiajia guessed.
King Ping pressed his head and said, "Why is it more troublesome than your sister? Have you done your homework?"
Jiajia nodded and pushed his hand away unhappily. He didn't like King Ping to press his head, but King Ping always came to press him. He pouted secretly, and he looked at the side curiously, not knowing what his mother was going to say to Yuan Tai.
"Do you know what Lu Erniang is doing?" Zhuhua asked tentatively.
Yuan Tai nodded with a faint smile and said, "Don't worry, if you marry someone, I have only met those three ladies once."
"That's not what it means, it's okay for other ladies, but this lady Lu..." Zhuhua shook her head and said, "Otherwise, you say you have married a lady in the border area and she is pregnant now, so you can't marry anyone else."
"It's better to marry Lu Erniang than to find such a lady and children." Yuan Tai smiled and looked at Zhuhua comfortably, "Auntie, it's really okay. At least this is a lady who has a relationship with Duke Qingguo."
"It's even worse to have a relationship."
Yuan Tai smiled and did not respond. Zhuhua sighed, knowing that he had an idea, and did not persuade him again. The next day, she went to the palace to reply to this matter. The empress dowager seemed a little unhappy about it, even if Yuan Tai agreed to her, she was not very happy.
When the filial piety period of the Holy Emperor was over, the princes and princes of each family went to the ancestral temple to worship and officially eliminate filial piety. Seven days later, the decrees for marriage were issued. Yuan Heng married Chen Siniang, daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, Princess Wan'an married Xia Sanlang, son of General Qianniu Guard, and Princess Changhe Chang married Xie Qilang, the legitimate branch of the Xie clan of Taiyuan. This was the thread that the Lin clan helped.
Zhuhua met this eldest princess when she entered the palace. Perhaps because Princess Changle was too conspicuous before, others couldn't help but compare her with Princess Changle when they saw her. When they saw it, they felt that she was a little too quiet princess, and it was no wonder that the emperor did not attach importance to this princess. Even Concubine Hui felt that this daughter was not good. If she could be as capable as Princess Changle, maybe the throne could still fall on Prince Chen. Now everything is a foregone conclusion. She only hopes that the emperor will not give birth to a son and let her grandson come out to fight.
Zhuhua has heard of the Xie Qilang, the chief married to Changhe, who was the eldest son of Chang'an, after all, Xixi is still talking about marriage, and she has gone to inquire about some young men of the right age in Chang'an. Xie Qilang is a romantic and unruly man. He has also been jealous of others after drinking and beat the other party seriously. In Zhuhua's opinion, he is not a good match, but Concubine Hui is happy, and she is afraid that Princess Wan'an will take her son-in-law from the dragon.
As for Xia Sanlang, the main married man of Wan'an, Zhuhua also mentioned it to me.
Xia Sanlang and Chanzi were both in Zuowei Guard. Chanzi has now been promoted to another level and is Xia Sanlang's boss, but General Xia is on the intestines and Chanzi dare not treat his son. He is not such a person. However, Xia Sanlang is not like the inconspicuous General Xia and his two brothers. He is a handsome and elegant man. Chanzi often jokes with him, saying that he should go to school if he is so pretty, and asks him why he doesn't take the top scorer. He also replied that if he gets the top scorer, he is afraid that he will be blocked by flowers on the street on the day he rides a horse.
Although he can also joke with people, he is not very talkative and never goes to a place where he is not a mess. He usually practices martial arts and studies at home. If he really wants to take the top scorer, he is afraid he can really pass the exam.
After the emperor knew that General Xia had such a son, he kept paying attention and deliberately took Princess Wan'an by his side while standing guard, and stayed on excuse for a while. Princess Wan'an was wondering why his father had just put the seal in his sleeve, and suddenly said that he could not find it, and he still worked for the people next to him to look for it. Later, he heard that it was for this and he was also amused and crying.
She had a good impression of Xia Sanlang, so she agreed to this marriage, and Xia Sanlang immediately agreed. The three princesses of the emperor inherited the beauty of Empress Jingyi, among which the eldest princess was elegant and generous. When she was still in the prince's mansion, she was the white moonlight in the hearts of many children. She and the Tuantuan who had not yet grown up at that time were secretly called the royal couple.
As for Princess Wanhua and Princess Wanning who are similar to her, although they are beautiful, their temperament is just a little worse. You should know that in the past two years, the most lively thing in Chang'an City is that Qin Dalang has committed a crime again, and the Zhongguo Marquis Mansion went to the street to shout again. Later, others also learned this trick and still shouted on the street to say that Qin Dalang is not. The Zhongguo Marquis Mansion simply changed to shouting "big reversal" on the street, "shocked", "you don't know yet"... Then they told everyone to go to a teahouse and listen to the storyteller in the storyteller telling the truth about the matter, and there were quite a few people going there; and the other lively thing was that the princess secretly left the palace again.
Although the incident of Princess Wanhua leaving the palace again no longer occurred after the end of last year, the people privately discussed that perhaps the emperor had acquiesced the princess leaving the palace. The people were really not wrong this time. The emperor not only acquiesced Princess Wanhua leaving the palace privately, but also acquiesced to his daughter to inherit her father's business and asked her to go to the Ministry of Justice to disguise herself as a sting official. No one except the Minister of Justice knew about this.
The Minister of Justice felt distressed. Every time Princess Wanhua almost let the real murderer go, or she was almost held hostage by the real murderer, he felt that he had lost half his life. He finally sent away King Ji, who had zero case resolution rate back then. Now there is another Princess Wanhua, and the Minister of Justice is a little reluctant to do it. He was already at the age of retirement, and he wanted to hold on for a few more years to let his second son Geng Jieqing take him. I believe that the current emperor should have this meaning.
