Chapter 199 Liu Chan enters the palace
At night, Lu Guogong returned home and sighed again and again.
originally thought that there was nothing to do with the Liu family this time, and the emperor had to be the eldest son of the emperor, and then calmly married a queen with high moral character, and the An royal family slowly broke away from the control of the Liu family.
I don't want the last noble person hired today to be Liu's daughter.
Duchess Lu Guo didn't care, this is obvious.
It's that Liu Ting is married, and now there is no daughter of the right age to go in, can anyone who is attached to the Liu family put an outstanding daughter first?
However, Duchess Lu Guo also had to admit that because of the thick skin of the Liu family, anyone who wanted to break their heads would not have thought that Liu Chan, the youngest daughter of Liu Sangshu, the second brother of Empress Dowager Liu, would enter the palace.
Let's say that Emperor Changxing was discouraged and lazy, and let Empress Dowager Liu be the master of selecting concubines to enter the palace, he ignored all the candidates, and he would not pay attention to those people in the future.
Empress Dowager Liu was worried about her son's body and knew that her son was not happy, so she only ordered someone to quietly select a few official eunuchs with good looks and young ladies to temporarily fill the position of Baolin Waiter.
It's just that the Liu family is also a little difficult to do.
Most of the daughters of the Liu family have already married at an old age, and there is only one Liu Ting who is of the right age, and the fate is not good, and the queen of the Liu family married after her dream was extinguished.
Now that the Liu family is in the same lineage, there is no one to choose.
The Great Chu Dynasty was strict in selecting concubines and concubines, and non-concubines could not be selected.
Even if the uncles are not old, their wives are no longer able to give birth.
Uncle Liu can also choose the daughter of the clan to enter the court, but people's hearts have always been separated from the belly, and the wealth comes from the charming eyes, if the girl really has a good creation, how can his parents and brothers only look at the uncles of Liu Guo, and they will not easily send the daughter of the Liu family into the palace and fight for power with them.
Of course, Liu Guo's uncles can also divorce their wives or even kill their wives and marry another. It's just that it will take at least ten years to marry a biological daughter and raise her to be able to enter the palace, and the intermediate variables are incalculable, even if the son born in the main room is his own mother, he will definitely not agree to this kind of thing. Reluctantly, this family will be in chaos, how to deal with outsiders.
It's a pity that the world forgets that there are always more solutions than problems.
Empress Dowager Liu's second brother Liu Sang's wife Wei Shi had already gone to the imperial temple outside the city to worship the Buddha on the grounds that she was ill and recuperating before Liu Ting got married.
Wei is Liu Sang's wife, who has children and takes care of family affairs.
But there is no master mother in the family, and it is not a system, so the queen mother specially allowed Liu Sang to help a concubine to help his wife. In this way, the Wei family is still Liu Sang's wife, and she is still the wife of Liu Chao's court, and the children born to her are still grandchildren. And the flat wife is not considered to have violated the law and took a concubine as his wife, but she was also given an edict, and her children will also be concubines in the future. The wonderful thing is that this concubine Chengping's wife gave birth to a daughter, that is, Liu Chan, so Liu Chan is barely a concubine.
However, at that time, the ministers in the court did not think of the matter of selection, although the Great Chu Dynasty did not recognize the flat wife, but there was a reason, and there was the permission of the queen mother, so there were only a few words of impeachment in the imperial history, which were taken by Liu's obscenity, and the matter was over.
But I didn't expect that this thing was waiting here. I can't complain that everyone can't think of it, because the concubine who has reached the age of fifteen in this dynasty draft can participate in the election, and Liu Chan, who is barely a concubine, is only about to be eleven years old.
But she didn't want Empress Dowager Liu to cover the sky with one hand, so she was elected to the palace and sealed Jieyu's position.
Someone raised a different idea, and the Queen Mother replied: Running for election at the age of 15 is just a convention, and the previous selection has also followed the old practice, in fact, there is no explicit provision, so it is not impossible for those with outstanding character and virtue to relax their age.
Yes, everyone has something to say, if it weren't for the fact that Liu Chan was too young to sleep, I was afraid that she would have to directly seal the concubine.
That's it, Liu Jieyu is still the dominant one in the palace. The grade of other royal ladies is too low, and the queen mother also needs someone to help her deal with the affairs of the harem, so Liu Jieyu was specially ordered to take charge of the master of the first palace.
It is estimated that she will only wait for those Baolin attendants to give birth to an heir, and she, as the head of the first palace, will bring the child over, and the concubine will be just around the corner, or she will ascend to the world of the Heavenly Mother in one step, and it is unknown.
The matter has come to this point, and everyone can only sigh and hate Liu Sang for being shameless for power, but they have nothing to say.
Thinking of this, Lu Guogong couldn't help but sigh again.
Duchess Lu Guo said: "Don't sigh here, I'm feeling uncomfortable." ”
It turned out that she already knew that Qiu Ruyi's little day was coming today, and she was overjoyed, so she felt very uncomfortable, and sighed: "Cheng'er is gone, I don't know when I will come back, when I have to hold my grandson." ”
Lu Guogong persuaded his old wife and said: "The heir is destined by heaven, he will come when he should come, and when he doesn't come, it's useless to be anxious." ”
The son and daughter-in-law are separated, and it is useless for her to be in a hurry, Mrs. Lu Guo sighed again as if she was fatal.
No, a few days later, Lu Guogong brought up the old matter again and said to his wife: "I thought about it carefully, what you said that day is very reasonable. We are not young anymore, and holding our grandson early can be regarded as an explanation to our ancestors. It's better for you to find an opportunity, find the Queen Mother to pave the way through a sentence, and let Ruyi go to the border after a while. I think that child is also a pungent person, she has enjoyed blessings and hardships, she goes to serve Cheng'er, you can also rest assured, and you can hold your grandson as soon as possible, the best of both worlds. ”
Mrs. Lu Guo had just comforted herself in the past few days, and when she heard her husband mention this matter again, she couldn't help but say: "You don't know what to think about in the study for the past two days, and you have lost a lot of your beard, and you thought you were thinking about some important family and country affairs, but you were actually thinking about this." ”
Lu Guogong said with a smile: "The affairs of the DPRK and China have their own ministers, where can I be used." Aren't you in a hurry to hold your grandson. ”
"I'm in a hurry, you're not in a hurry. Mrs. Lu Guo said angrily, and thought again: "It is the duty of a man to go out to do things, and his daughter-in-law to take care of the housework at home and take care of the old and young. It's that we feel sorry for him and let his daughter-in-law go with him to wait, but Cheng'er is different from others, the first time he went to the border for the official, he has a small official position, he has no credit, he shouldn't have brought his family, Ruyi past, it's not suitable. ”
Lu Guogong smiled: "What's inappropriate. I just think that the two of us are in our prime, and we don't need people to wait, and there is no shortage of people around us to serve. It's Cheng'er, the border is bitter cold, he has always been so strong, the first time he joins the army, he will suffer a lot, there is a person who knows the cold and the heat by his side, life is always better. Although the daughter-in-law cannot enter the army, in a month or two, he always has a vacation and rest, which is not much better than the husband and wife who only see each other once in three or five years? Besides, you are young-skinned and have a daughter-in-law in front of you. ”
was praised by her husband for being young, Mrs. Lu Guo's heart blossomed, and she smiled: "I was also worried about Cheng'er, but now listening to you, it's also a good way." I'm just worried that Ruyi won't be able to stand the suffering, and then Cheng'er just left with the front foot, and Ruyi's back foot followed, which is not good-looking......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lu Guo's heart moved, and she asked her husband: "You want to send Ruyi out, isn't the situation in Beijing and Central China not good?"
