Chapter 190: Yongchang
It was precisely because he thought of the identity of the person in the painting that although Gu Qingwei was not obvious on the surface at this time, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Chu Chengqi in the study at this time, she would definitely sit down and be quiet.
She remembered that a few years after the previous life, the Empress Dowager's 60th birthday, Emperor Yuanchang held a banquet to congratulate the Empress Dowager for a thousand years, and all the officials and female dependents of the court entered the palace to attend the banquet.
It was also on this day that Gu Qing did not see a strange woman accompanying the Queen Mother, and she was obviously extremely close to the Queen Mother.
The woman is not very old, even if it is the Empress Dowager He Qianqiu, the clothes on her body are still not very colorful, and among the many well-dressed palace concubines, she looks extraordinarily bland, looking at her clothes, she should be a widow.
What impressed Gu Qingwei the most was the woman's good looks and the pitiful sorrow in her eyes.
Out of curiosity, Gu Qingwei later specially inquired about the identity of the woman.
It was the second daughter of Emperor Yuanchang, Princess Yongchang.
Princess Yongchang's biological mother was not high, and she died early when Princess Yongchang was young, and was later handed over by Emperor Yuanchang to Concubine Liu Xian, who only gave birth to a son of Chu Chengqi.
Xu is pity for Princess Yongchang at a young age, among the three princesses, Emperor Yuanchang has a special love for Princess Yongchang, just by the word "Chang" in her title, you can see one or two.
When Princess Yongchang grew to the age of fifteen or sixteen, Emperor Yuanchang personally selected a son-in-law for Princess Yongchang, and after a long time, he selected the new champion of that year.
When the princess of the dynasty and the talented champion Lang, in the capital of that year, the marriage between the two can be said to be the envy of everyone.
It's just that although Princess Yongchang's identity is noble, her life is really bad.
After marrying Zhuang Yuanlang, the two of them did envy others, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, such days only passed for less than a year, and the champion Lang died because of a sudden illness, and Princess Yongchang also changed from a life winner who was envied by women in Beijing to a surviving person who was sympathized with by everyone.
After that, Emperor Yuanchang took pity on Princess Yongchang and deliberately took her back to the palace to live for a period of time, but this was not in accordance with the rules, so Princess Yongchang went out of the palace and returned to the princess's mansion after living in the palace for a while, and then gradually showed up less in the capital.
It is not uncommon for widows in the Great Zhou Dynasty to remarry, and the princess of the dynasty naturally has no reason to be widowed all the time.
Emperor Yuanchang also looked for a suitable candidate for Princess Yongchang in the next few years, but Princess Yongchang herself refused to agree to remarry, and asked the reason, but she only said that she couldn't let go of the deceased colt in her heart.
Emperor Yuanchang was already guilty that he had chosen such a short-lived concubine for Princess Yongchang in the first place, and saw that Princess Yongchang was really unwilling to remarry, so he also dragged this matter down.
This delay is several years.
When Gu Qing didn't marry into the Ning family, Princess Yongchang had been widowed for several years.
Since Princess Yongchang returned to the widowhood of the princess's mansion, she has hardly been out of the house, and only occasionally accepts visits from a few princesses and princesses who have known each other since childhood.
Thinking about the decades in her previous life, Gu Qingwei had only seen this side of Princess Yongchang, so at the beginning, she couldn't remember who the person in the painting was.
In her previous life, Gu Qingwei didn't find anything wrong with Princess Yongchang, but after seeing the picture of a lady in her hand, she didn't think so.
Princess Yongchang's biological mother died early, and she was later raised by Concubine Liu Xian.
In those years, Princess Yongchang was very favored by Emperor Yuanchang, and for Concubine Liu Xian, raising Princess Yongchang in her palace was also an excellent means of fixing her favor, and it was too late to be happy, and she would not be stupid enough to do anything to Princess Yongchang.
In this way, Princess Yongchang must have a good relationship with Chu Chengqi.
But no matter how good her relationship with Chu Chengqi is, it shouldn't be so good that Chu Chengqi can take her portrait with him at any time to enjoy it.
Not to mention......
Gu Qingwei pinched the scroll in his hand.
She remembered it clearly, in addition to painting Princess Yongchang on the painting in her hand, she also inscribed a few words.
Sending acacia from afar.
If you put aside the identities of these two people and only look at the painting and the words on it, anyone will think that this must be a token of love between a pair of men and women, leaving it as a comfort for the two people who are separated from each other.
But on the contrary, Princess Yongchang and Chu Chengqi, these two are really sisters and brothers!
Sending Acacia from afar, the princess of Yongchang on the painting, Chu Chengqi carried this painting with him as a treasure.
Princess Yongchang who is widowed, Princess Yongchang who refuses to remarry, Princess Yongchang who is closed, and Princess Yongchang who only occasionally receives visits from a few princes and princesses......
Don't think about it, I'm afraid that the person who visits Princess Yongchang the most often should be Chu Chengqi.
All of this came together, allowing Gu Qingwei to come up with an answer that she found incredible.
These two ......
Gu Qingwei was also a person who lived for more than half a hundred years in his previous life, and he lived in the capital with the most new things and the most ugly things, in those years, she didn't hear less about the dirty things in the backyards of various mansions, although there were few such incestuous things, but she hadn't heard of them, but one of these two people was the princess who was most loved by Emperor Yuanchang, and the other was the prince who was tolerated by Emperor Yuanchang in every way, and they dared to do such a thing in the sight of Emperor Yuanchang?
Compared to this, Chu Cheng activated the wife of the children of the clan, what is this matter?
After the initial shock, Gu Qingwei became more and more sure of his guess.
Princess Yongchang grew up in Concubine Liu Xian's palace until she got married, if she said that among the princes and princesses, she was most familiar with her, it must be Chu Chengqi, who was also under Concubine Liu Xian's knees.
With this relationship between the two as a cover, after Princess Yongchang was widowed, even if Chu Chengqi went to the princess's mansion more diligently, others would only treat the relationship between their sisters and brothers as harmonious, and would not think of other places.
Even Gu Qingwei, if he hadn't seen the painting in his hand, how could he think about this crooked place?
In this way, it can be explained clearly why Chu Chengqi was imprisoned by Emperor Yuanchang, who had always tolerated him in his previous life.
Emperor Yuanchang was able to demote him to the king of the county because Chu Cheng started the wife of the children of the clan, which shows that Emperor Yuanchang's tolerance for this kind of thing is extremely low, but the wife of the children of the clan is not related to Chu Chengqi by blood.
