Chapter 17
After lunch, Zhuang and Qi's Zhang Luo maids cleaned up the table, and Lin Eun went to Li's house with Li.
Lin Eun lost his biological mother when he was five years old, and he ushered in Li's stepmother at the age of eight. When the Li family entered the door, Lin Eun had already remembered and sensible, and he was not so welcoming to the Li family's stepmother at first. The two of them have been tempting each other and occasionally fighting for so many years, and the more they get along, the better their feelings will be, especially when Lin Eun married someone and became a mother, and understood the difficulties of being a woman and a mother, and felt that it was really unnecessary to be wary of the Li family at the beginning.
After the two sat down on the couch, Lin Eun served a cup of tea to the Li family, poured another cup for himself, and then whispered to the Li family: "Mother, I heard my prince say that the emperor has revealed his meaning, and the matter of Yuan Yuan's entry into the middle palace is decided, and the family must be prepared." β
Lee's eyes moved, his hand rubbing the edge of the tea bowl, his eyes drooping slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, Li opened his mouth and asked: "What does the emperor mean, did you say that you will enter the palace first as a concubine and then establish a concubine, or will you marry directly into the palace?" β
Although they are both entering the palace, these two ways of entering the palace are different. This is like the continuation of ordinary people's families, the steproom and the concubine who are married by the three books and six rites of the eight hundred are not the same, even if they are the same steproom, the concubine is not as good as the three books and six rites of the marriage.
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "I didn't say it. β
Li sighed quietly and put down the cup in his hand.
Lin Eun said again: "Mother, you have to be careful at home, what the prince can know, it is impossible for the Wu family not to know." Wu Guifei can't be the queen this time, she and the Wu family are afraid that there will be a lot of tricks waiting for our family. β
Li said: "You don't have to worry about this, the Xuanguo Mansion is hard, is it possible that our Wuguo Mansion is a vegetarian, they really want to bump into it, and it may not be who is injured." Your two younger brothers are not such incompetent people. β
Lin Yan nodded, then sighed again, and said softly: "Yuan Yuan will enter the palace, I really didn't expect it." I also like Yuan Yuan's child, I used to think that she and Xiao Wu could play together since childhood, and then I helped Xiao Wu to marry her, first, I am her aunt, I will not wronged her when she enters the door of my house, and secondly, wouldn't it be better to come to this palace and the Lin family to kiss and kiss, that is, Arou listens to this idea, I am afraid that I will also feel goodγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» but don't they all say that things in this world are unpredictable, who would have thought that the second sister would go so early, and our Lin family will send another girl to the palace. β
Hearing about his daughter, who died young, Li's face also darkened.
Lin Yan continued: "Yuan Yuan, this child is something we grew up watching, although she is smart and sensible, but I really don't feel at ease if she is really allowed to enter the palace." She is only fourteen years old this year, and at such a young age, who can know what will happen when she enters the palaceγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Li Shi glared at her and said, "You came back specifically to make me angry, but you mentioned your second sister and Yuan Yuan again, just to make me sad." β
Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Mother, where is this, don't I feel this way." β
Li sighed and said, "Yuan Yuan, this child, I'm sorry for her." As he spoke, he had a look of distress and guilt on his face.
Seeing that the Li family was like this, Lin Eun regretted mentioning these unpleasant topics, thought about it in his heart, and then took something happy out, and said with a smile: "By the way, mother, the emperor said that he would give our family another title of county king, and the prince has decided to give this title to Xiao Wu in the future." β
Li Shi was happy when he heard this, straightened up and said, "Oh, that's a good thing." β
In the previous dynasty, the title of clan prince was crowned prince according to the emperor's son except for the crown prince, the eldest son of the prince was the son, and the rest of the sons were crowned county kings; Except for the eldest son of the county king, the rest of the sons were awarded the title of the general of the town and the state, which led to the princes everywhere in the last years of the previous dynasty, which caused a serious burden on the imperial finances.
After the establishment of Emperor Taizu in the present dynasty, the system of family titles was changed, and the emperor's son was not only the prince, but the rest of the princes or county kings, and the princes and county kings were the sons except for the eldest sons, and the rest of the sons were named generals or auxiliary generals, and the concubines were not sealed.
King Qinghe was a hero who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world, and he was a clan relative, so he got the title of prince. It stands to reason that in the Qinghe Palace, except for the eldest son of Lin Eun, who can be the next generation of Qinghe King in the future, Xiao Cheng can only get the title of General Zhenguo, and the rest of the concubines can only mix with ordinary clans.
Li said: "Xiao Wu can have the title of county king in the future, and you don't have to worry about it in the future." "Although General Zhenguo is also a knighthood, the treatment is not worse than that of the county king.
Lin Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Wu was spoiled by me, and he may not be able to make a big difference in the future." I used to worry about what would happen to him if my father and I left. His eldest brother looks like he will take care of him now, but he will also have children and grandchildren in the future, how can he take care of so much, when the time comes, compared with his children and grandchildren, Xiao Wu is afraid that he can only lag behind. Now it's okay, with the title of the county king, Xiao Wu can live by the income of the fief no matter how bad he is. β
Li nodded, but then said strangely: "But why did this emperor suddenly propose to give your family a knighthood?" β
Lin Eun shook his head and said, "I don't know, the prince knows, but he won't tell me." I used a trick to say a few words to the prince, probably as if when the emperor was the prince in the past, the prince and the old prince seemed to have helped the emperor and the virtuous concubine. β
Speaking of the old emperor's attitude towards Concubine Xian and Jinshang is also strange enough, when he was alive, he didn't see much love for Concubine Xian, and he didn't see a deep love for father and son today, even Concubine Xian Niangniang was able to give birth to the emperor Everyone said that it was because she was lucky enough to give birth, but in the end, when the old emperor died, it was a will to bury Concubine Xian next to him after she died.
At that time, it was rumored that the old emperor issued this holy decree because he was afraid that the virtuous concubine would abuse his power after his death, so he wanted to imply that the new emperor would let the virtuous concubine be martyred, but this is not like it, not to mention that when the emperor ascended the throne, he was already an adult who even had a son, and it was not at all something that women and children could fiddle with so easily, that is, the virtuous concubine's temperament was soft and friendly, and she didn't look like a person who would arbitrarily exercise power.
However, Concubine Xian also went less than a year after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the real reason for this has long been sealed underground with the ancestors, and no one can know.
