Since she is Imajo's own sister and the only sibling of Imajo's only compatriot, she is naturally very trusted by Imagami. Therefore, many people are still used to calling her the eldest princess in private.
Princess Yongjia is more than ten years younger than Jinshang, and she was twenty-one years old when she ascended the throne as emperor, and at that time, the eldest princess was only nine years old.
A few years later, the eldest princess was fourteen years old and was about to choose a son-in-law, but the queen mother died.
The eldest princess kept filial piety for three years, and when she was seventeen years old, Jinshang personally chose a son-in-law for her.
For more than 100 years, the choice of the princess's husband has been changing with current events.
At the beginning, in order to win over the heroes, the horses were selected from the sons and daughters of the nobles.
With the passage of time, when my grandfather was in power, the sons and daughters of the nobles gradually withered, and various family forces fought with each other, and the civil and military ministers did not like each other.
As a result, the princess's choice of son-in-law gradually became institutionalized: first, it was forbidden to run for election from the children of ministers above the second rank of civil and military affairs. The second is the selection of horses, which is also carried out through the audition, presided over by the Ministry of Rites. Third, due to the Great Zhou's emphasis on literature and light on military force, the frontier was unstable, and many princesses were sent to the border tribes and relatives.
With the exception of the princesses who were going to the frontier, the candidates for the pony were young men between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. Priority will be given to selection in the capital, and if the capital cannot find a suitable one, the selection scope will be expanded to the three surrounding provinces. Three people are selected first, and then the emperor looks at each other and determines one of them.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.
The princess chose the horse, and the initial audition, although it was presided over by the Ministry of Rites, was run by the eunuchs. These eunuchs, as long as they dare to stuff money, there is nothing to do, and cats and dogs can also get by.
Princess Yongjia suffered this big loss.
Princess Yongjia is the only sister in Jinshang, so he naturally wants to leave Princess Yongjia in the capital and choose a horse for his sister with great fanfare. After going back and forth, he finally picked one, the young man's name was Bu Ruiyang, who was a side branch of a certain nobleman, and he was already a wealthy businessman by the time of his father. In addition, the eunuch who ran the operation praised him as a flower, and now he asked someone to take advantage of it, which was auspicious, and he recognized it.
But on the day of the wedding, he found that something was wrong, Bu Ruiyang was wearing a wedding robe, but he had a nosebleed on the spot, which scared the guests enough, and the eunuch would speak at the critical moment, and flattered him on the spot and said: "The wedding is very red when you see blood, and it is very auspicious!"
It's right to think about it now, so I didn't think deeply.
Who expected that after only a month of marriage, Princess Yongjia returned to the palace crying: Bu Ruiyang was actually a sick ghost, and when he participated in the audition, he was sick enough, and he only got in by stuffing money for the eunuch, and after being sent to the cave room, he was so weak that he couldn't even live as a couple, and he died before the honeymoon was over.
At this time, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the so-called feudal etiquette has long been absent among the people, and it is very normal for women to remarry widows, such as Qin Feifei. can be placed in the royal life, but it is still strictly regulated.
If she had spoken today, Princess Yongjia would marry again, and no one would say anything.
However, there is superstition today.
He called people to divination, and the hexagram said: The princess remarries, and it is not good for the stability of the country.
After thinking about it, I didn't dare to let Princess Yongjia remarry today.
Of course, the Bu family was naturally wiped out, and the eunuchs who were selected by the sea did not benefit, and once they investigated, they killed more than 300 eunuchs.
It's just that at this point, Princess Yongjia can only be widowed in the magnificent and huge princess mansion for more than 20 years.
In these years, she had nothing to do, so she organized a hairpin banquet that everyone in the capital ladies flocked to, which lasted for three days.
Every year in late spring or early summer, a grand banquet will be held, inviting the female dependents of officials above the third grade in the capital to participate, and anyone who has unmarried women can participate.
Princess Yongjia is the younger sister of today, and does not interfere in the government affairs, the princes are also happy to be close to her, cheering, and the nobles also have the heart to make friends, so although the invitation is a female dependent, but every time there will be a large number of young people uninvited.
Anyway, the princess never refused to let them come to the door, and even acquiesced to them.
The marriage of some people in the capital was formed at the hairpin flower meeting.
Twenty years have passed, and it has long been a common practice.
This morning, the Dong family made preparations early and went out with Qin Shuying, Qin Lulu, and Qin Yue.
Qin Wei cried breathlessly in Rongfuyuan.
As soon as she returned to the capital, she caught up with such a grand event, but now she could only watch Qin Yue go, but she couldn't go, which made her how not to hate and how not to cry.
Aunt Miao walked around, very annoyed: "Sister Wei, don't be angry anymore!" Dong's she did it on purpose, you knew that she was uneasy and kind, and you also sent the handle to her, you, you...... Tell me to say something!"
Qin Wei cried: "She just did it on purpose, it was on purpose! Auntie, I want to write to my father, if my father knows, he will definitely not be able to spare her!"
Aunt Miao poked her forehead with hatred, "Are you still going to be fooled? Can your father still tell her to go back? Can't you see it, she will be the one who will be in charge of the Qin Mansion in the future! You don't learn to please her, but you still want her to give you a disobedient mother-in-law's name? Why did I give birth to such an indisputable thing as you!"
Aunt Miao and Qin Wei were angry and annoyed, and Qin Yunyun was even more resentful than them.
As soon as Caiying cleaned up the porcelain cup that was smashed by Qin Yunyun on the ground, Cailuan walked over quickly, I don't know if it was intentional or what, and stepped on her hand with one foot.
The palm of her hand was immediately punctured by the broken porcelain, and the pain in her heart made her cry out involuntarily, Cailuan turned around and scolded: "Don't you see that Miss is annoying? What is the ghost called!"
Caiying looked up, and sure enough, Qin Yunyun's eyes were faintly glowing red, and she glared at Caiying viciously, "Mourning Star!
Caiying held back her tears, bit her lip, knelt on the ground, and slapped herself twenty times.
Qin Yunyun watched her play happily and helped her count.
After Caiying punished herself, Qin Yunyun actually showed a weird smile on her face, she actually got an inexplicable pleasure from Caiying being beaten.
The colorful warbler looked at it, and the whole body was cold.
Miss Six is crazy, Miss Six is stunned!
These days, Qin Yunyun punishes her to beat herself at every turn, and every time she sees this scene, Qin Yunyun is so excited that her nostrils stir.
Caiying thought of what happened in Lufu the day before yesterday, and said that the second miss went back to Lufu to seek revenge, and the third lady went crazy on the spot.
Could it be that Miss Six was also involved in the strange cause of death of Miss Second?
So, the second lady is also entangled with her?
Caiying stared at the frightened eyes and looked at Qin Yunyun with a distorted face in fear.
Yes, it must be so!
Otherwise, how did Miss Seven escape inexplicably if she was designed like that?
It must have been the second miss who entangled Miss Six and set up a ghost to hit the wall, so Miss Seven escaped and put Miss Six in!
It must be so, the second lady is seeking revenge!
