Chapter 260: The Wind Rises

A few days later, news came out that the girls from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion and the Duan Mansion were frequently invited to enter and leave the Chaoxia Palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Kunning Palace, which had attracted much attention, quietly did not move.

There are two girls in the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Wang Lianyu, the girl from the Wupin Zhan Mansion who washes horses and Wang Xingyuan, is seventeen this year, but she is already engaged to the Luoyang Wei family. There is also a girl in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Lingying, who is fifteen this year, and the family affairs have not yet been decided.

And Duan Licheng, the eldest lord of Duan Mansion, is now a waiter in the Zhengsanpin Criminal Department, with a son and a daughter, all of whom are married, but the eldest son has a girl, Duan Zhiqin. The third old man Duan Lixing, the current servant Shaoqing, is a fourth-grade official, and also has a son and a daughter under his knees, the son has been married, and the daughter is fourteen this year, called Duan Sizhen, and there is no marriage, it is said that he has a good temperament, gentle and graceful, and is the standard boudoir show.

According to speculation, one of the possible candidates to become the second princess is Duan Zhiqin and the other is Duan Sizhen; Duan Licheng's rank is higher than Duan Lixing's, but Duan Zhiqin's father, Duan Junchu, is only a petty official. Therefore, it is more likely that Duan Sizhen will become the candidate for the second princess. According to Concubine Tong's love for Duan Zhiqin, every time Duan Zhiqin returns to Duan Mansion from the palace, there will be a reward. Therefore, it is not impossible for Duan Zhiqin to become a concubine, and everyone estimates that the possibility of a concubine is even greater. It is not uncommon for two girls in a mansion to marry a prince at the same time.

I don't know if Duan Licheng thinks this is not good, or if he has no intention of having anything to do with the royal family, he is not as enthusiastic about this matter as Duan Lixing, and even a little reluctant Duan Zhiqin to marry the second prince, which is why Mrs. Duan later went to the Hexagram Pavilion to find Yu Nianniang.

Just when everyone was speculating, the palace suddenly made a decree to marry Xiao Shuya, the only daughter of the eldest prince and Xiao Shan, the protector general's mansion.

Xiao Shan is the son-in-law of the general of the expansion of the country, and he is also the only son, Xiao Shuya is fourteen this year, Yu Nianniang has only seen it once, she looks upright and beautiful, she looks very gentle and graceful, and her gestures are elegant from the bones. Xiao Shuya is not only pretty, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her enlightenment teacher is Mr. Hu Zhongzhi, a great Confucian today.

It is really surprising that a family of military generals can raise such a girl.

But what is even more surprising is this decree.

When everyone was unprepared and there was no sign of movement in advance, the emperor suddenly gave the marriage.

The protector general is the founding hero of the country, and has always been reused by the first emperor, because the protector general knows how to judge the situation and hand over his military power at the most appropriate time, so the emperor not only gave him the title of protector general, but also has always regarded him as a loyal and good general. Moreover, the protector general has rarely asked about the affairs of the court over the years, and the emperor rarely entrusts things to him, but whenever he encounters difficulties, the emperor likes to listen to the advice of the protector general, which shows that he has always been respected by the emperor.

Xiao Shan is now just a five-grade petty official, but the prestige of the protector general is known to everyone in the Celestial Empire, and the queen can choose her daughter as the eldest prince's concubine, so she has to admire her foresight.

And on the second day after the holy decree of the eldest prince's marriage, the will to marry the eldest prince's side concubine was issued, and the side concubine was the concubine of the prince of Wuhou, Wu Mei.

Before, because of the poisoning of the third prince, Concubine Li alienated the queen, and even the relationship between Wuhou Mansion and Ning'an Houfu gradually became delicate, during which Mrs. Tong Bofu once invited Mrs. Wuhou and Mrs. Shizi to go out to travel together, but Mrs. Wuhou politely declined. The attitude of Wu Houfu and Concubine Li is obviously to keep a distance from the queen and Concubine Tong.

But at this moment, Wu Shizi's concubine suddenly wanted to marry the eldest prince as a side concubine, which not only won over the relationship between Wu Houfu, but also eased the gap between the queen and Li Concubine.

Concubine Tong frowned coldly and angrily after hearing the news in the Chaoxia Palace, and smashed a few pink porcelain teacups in a row. Immediately afterwards, she went to the Qianqing Palace.

A few days later, the second prince was also married.

The woman is Duan Sizhen, the daughter of Duan Lixing, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple.

The eldest prince has given side concubines, and the second prince must be indispensable, but the remaining candidates are Duan Zhiqin, Duan Licheng's granddaughter, except for Wang Lingying of Shangshu Mansion. Shangshu Mansion is high, Wang Lingying's status is more noble than Duan Sizhen, and it is not suitable to be a side concubine, so Duan Zhiqin has a greater chance.

The three holy decrees were like throwing a thunderbolt in the capital, and they boiled all at once. Joy is mixed with a different atmosphere.

Duan Mansion suddenly came out of a princess, Duan Liguang and his wife were full of spring, came to Duan Mansion to congratulate, there was an endless stream of visitors, and the traffic in front of the door was busy every day, and it was very lively.

Similarly, the Protector General's Mansion, which is usually deserted, also occasionally has horse-drawn carriages coming in and out.

You must know that the emperor has not yet set up a prince, and the eldest prince is a natural candidate, but because the eldest prince is too sick and weak, the position of the prince is really uncertain. Whether she becomes the eldest princess or the second princess, she may become the crown princess and become the queen in the future.

The marriage of the two princes must be, and the Ministry of Rites will start to prepare for the relevant handling matters, and the two princes will marry at the same time, according to their age, when the marriage of the eldest prince is in front, and the second prince is in the back, the specific day of the great heavenly master has been selected, and the marriage of the eldest prince will be completed at the end of the year, and the second prince will be in the spring next year.

As long as the prince is married, the next step is the throne of the prince.

Although the Protector General has ignored the military camp, but the prestige is still there, Xiao Shan is the only son of the Protector General, of course, everything in the future of the Protector General must be inherited by him. However, although the general who protects the country is the founder of the country and has a high prestige in the army, after all, he has been away from the barracks for too long, and his prestige in the army is far inferior to that of the general and the current Ning Anhou.

As for the eldest prince's side concubine Wu Mei, she is a concubine under Wu Shizi's knees, which is not a little worse than the status of the concubine in Wuhou Mansion, but this is also a way to ease the tension between the queen and the concubine, after all, there is more than one side concubine, and she can accept it again in the future.

The second prince's concubine is the daughter of Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, and everyone was a little surprised when the news first came out, after all, Duan Lixing is not conspicuous and outstanding in the court, and his performance has been mediocre. If you think about it, you can see why.

Duan Lixing's wife's maiden family is in the northwest, and her father is in the camp of Xishan, and he is appointed to return to Germany as a general. During the Northwest War, he led a cadre of soldiers under his banner and made a lot of contributions. He has good prestige in the army.

The northwest has always been a land of right and wrong, and various tribes and Turks are constantly disturbed every year. However, the northwest has half of the military strength of the imperial court, and being able to control the entire Xishan camp means mastering half of the imperial court's military strength. Concubine Tong has always befriended most of Wenchen, and she has always wanted to win over military generals like Wei Hongshan, and she can get the support of General Guide Zhonglang, which can be regarded as having a certain amount of military support.

As for the side concubine of the second prince, there is no need to think about it, Concubine Tong will definitely choose the daughter of a civil minister, so that both civil and military are more conducive to competing for the position of the prince.

For a time, the capital was turbulent again.

At this time, it was a scorching summer, and the weather was very hot, which was not conducive to travel, so the emperor had to postpone the matter of going to Mount Tai to seal the shirt. Although ice cubes were prepared in the palace at any time, it still couldn't stop the heat, so the emperor had to prepare to go to the summer resort. In addition to the queen, there was also Concubine Tong.

The emperor should first choose an auspicious day when traveling. In the past, this kind of thing was done by Qin Tianjian, but since last year, all such things have been transferred to the Heavenly Dao Academy. In order to train the students of Kunyuan, the teacher assigned this matter to everyone as a task, and at the same time, there were additional requirements: in addition to choosing the day of the emperor's trip, it was also necessary to calculate the time when the emperor stayed in the summer resort according to the distance, which was more detailed than before.

This is an assessment of Kunyuan.

It can not only test everyone's ability to calculate the date and time, but also train everyone to calculate the facts.
