Chapter 492: Not Aggrieved
The queen just happened to come. She didn't comment on what had just happened, but just spoke according to the rules.
After that, he said, "Since Li Zhaoyi's house arrest has ended, you must remember to be careful with your words and actions in the future. Don't make mistakes again."
"Yes, I will keep your teachings in mind." Li Zhaoyi bowed.
"I don't think she can remember it either!" Concubine Jin was very unhappy because her lung was hurt by the blow just now.
"If you can't remember, there are reasons for not remembering. You are an old man, you don't have to care about it all the time. You are a concubine." The queen said calmly: "The eldest princess is old, and now the emperor is looking for someone for her. You are her mother, so you should remember to talk less. If someone provokes you, you just stand up."
"Yes." Concubine Jin stood up with a red face.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, everyone can go. The lists of people who were shown to the eldest princess are all here with me. You can take a look." The queen pointed at Concubine Jin.
Concubine Jin agreed, and Emei handed the booklet to Concubine Jin's servant.
When Concubine Jin returned to Taiping Palace, she called the eldest princess over.
In this dynasty, girls were not completely forbidden from participating in their marriages. Generally speaking, they could know about it in advance.
The eldest princess came and after paying her respects, she was pulled by Concubine Jin to look at a book.
Concubine Jin herself was not very satisfied. These families were all noble, but unfortunately they had no real power.
"The candidate for the prince consort chosen for you by your father, these...ah. Originally, when Liu was alive, he wanted to choose someone powerful and influential for you." Concubine Jin sighed.
"Mother, why must I be powerful? My daughter is a princess, which is the best she can be. She doesn't need to be powerful. Aren't these families good enough?"
"Do you really think so?" Concubine Jin asked.
"Mother, I know what you are thinking. I didn't advise you in the past, but now... Liu is like that, don't think too much. I am the eldest daughter of my father, and he has always loved me. How can he ignore me just because I am married? In the future, even if it is... any of my brothers, it will be the same. If I do nothing, marry an ordinary wealthy family, and don't interfere in other people's affairs, won't I still be a noble princess? Then I should be the eldest princess."
When Concubine Jin thought of this, she instantly smiled.
"In that case, which boy from these families do you like?" Concubine Jin asked with a smile.
The eldest princess felt embarrassed: "I haven't seen them, but since you said they all look good, then I think they are good. How about mother returning the booklet and letting the queen and father decide?"
It also shows loyalty.
"What if the Queen tries to trick you?" Concubine Jin frowned.
"Mother! Mother won't do that. Even if she would, can you stop her? Don't think about it." said the eldest princess.
"Child, am I not doing this for you?" Concubine Jin patted her back.
However, Concubine Jin finally listened to the eldest princess and sent the book back.
A few days later, the emperor issued an edict, saying that Wu You, the eldest grandson of Duke Funing, was outstanding in talent and appearance, had good character, and was of the same age as the eldest princess, so he was a suitable match for marriage. He issued an edict to grant the marriage and choose a new wedding date.
Wu You is only seventeen years old, but he is indeed outstanding in both talent and appearance.
Duke Funing was of the same age as the late emperor, but he got married early, and Wu You was the eldest grandson of his eldest branch.
Duke Funing was a shadow of his ancestors. He himself had no ability and only guarded the family business. He held a position in the Ministry of Rites.
His eldest son died early, leaving Wu You as his only child, whom Duke Funing valued the most.
Originally, Duke Funing was going to bypass all his sons and ask for permission from his eldest grandson, asking Wu You to inherit the family business a hundred years later.
However, Wu You himself wanted to take the imperial examination and was unwilling to do so.
Now that she is a princess, I don’t know what her future will be like.
There was no saying in the Dayi Dynasty that the prince consort was not allowed to participate in politics, so this was an honor and was by no means false.
At present, it seems that the Wu family has no foundation for this marriage, but in fact, Wu You is very knowledgeable and Qi Yixiu is very satisfied.
It may be of great use in the future.
After the marriage was decided, everyone gave gifts to Concubine Jin to congratulate her, but the eldest princess was not too old, so the marriage would probably have to wait for a year or so.
Now that the eldest princess's marriage has been arranged, some people have started thinking about the second prince's marriage.
However, the second prince is younger than the eldest princess, so there is no need to rush.
In the harem, the necessary etiquette has been followed.
High-ranking concubines like Shen Chuliu just sat back and watched the newcomers use tricks to win favor.
Today you dance in the imperial garden, and tomorrow she embroiders a purse.
However, Qi Yixiu didn't know what was wrong with him, and he would come to Shen Chuliu every few days.
Before long, half of the summer had passed and we had arrived in the hottest month of July.
Shen Chuliu had just returned from paying his respects when he couldn't stand the heat anymore and simply stayed in the Imperial Garden.
She sat in Luomei Pavilion, enjoying the scenery and drinking tea.
I know it will be even hotter when I go back, but there's nothing I can do if I don't want to leave now.
Maybe it's because this place is secluded and no one has been asked to close the road, so people came here soon.
After hearing a few noises, Yuan Xiao came over and said, "Master, Concubine Mei punished Yang Yu and made her kneel down."
"Oh? Why?" Shen Chuliu was curious.
"Doesn't this Yang Yu-nu have the same color as Concubine Mei?" The color of their clothes is the same.
"Tsk, okay. Was it Yang Yunv who slept with you yesterday?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"My lord, no, the emperor did not enter the harem yesterday, nor the day before yesterday." Because their master never cared, sometimes they just didn't report it.
"Well, Concubine Mei can hold it back. But Yang Yu-nu is favored? Why do I remember that it was Concubine Zhuang who was favored?" Shen Chuliu said.
"I think that about half a month ago, when the Emperor met Yang Yunv in the Imperial Garden, Concubine Mei was there too. So in the end, Yang Yunv was carried to the Taiji Palace to serve him in bed," Yuanxiao said with a smile.
Shen Chuliu laughed: "Okay, this has nothing to do with me."
It's really good to be in a high position. You don't have to get involved in anything you don't want to do, and you won't be easily dragged into disputes.
When Shen Chuliu came out after resting enough, Yang Yunv was kneeling there crying, looking pitiful.
I didn't dare cry out loud, I just wiped my tears.
Seeing Shen Chuliu hurriedly greeted: "Greetings to Concubine Jing."
"No thanks. How long does Concubine Mei tell you to kneel?" Shen Chuliu asked.
"It is said to be one hour." Yang Yu'nu said.
"Yeah." Shen Chuliu nodded and left.
She was not a kind person. Besides, no one would die in such a hot summer.
Now, Yang Yunu seems to be quite naive, but is she really naive?
She doesn't need anyone's help, so she won't care.
Yang Yunu watched Shen Chuliu leave without any resentment. She just thought that Concubine Jing was so beautiful that she could not be compared with someone as vicious as Concubine Mei.
Concubine Mei is such a scheming person, she kept something hidden for half a month, so she must be a very bad person.
But she was not as good as Concubine Jing. She refused to suffer any loss and told everything to her face.
You will definitely live a life that is not depressing.
