The banquet was held in the Lin De Palace, in a high open place on the west side of the Taiye Pool.
Coming down from the Lin De Palace, you can still hear the sound of silk and bamboo above.
It's already spring, the Taiye Pond is relatively quiet, the willow branches next to the pond are swaying with the breeze, and occasionally there is a ripple on the surface of the lake, and you can see the figure of the fish playing gracefully.
As soon as the women get together, there is a burst of fragrant wind.
The old ladies had already gathered together to chat and talk, and Chang Runzhi followed Xiao Han and sat down in the woman's pile.
The concubine was in a high position, and several other concubines gathered around her.
Xiao Han introduced Chang Runzhi softly.
Light makeup is heavy, Yan is thin and fat, Emperor Yuanwu is really a blessing.
Chang Runyi recognized the person one by one, and Xiao Han pointed to a palace concubine who was sitting quietly and bowing her head: "That's the biological mother of Lord Rui, the concubine Niangniang." â
The appearance of the concubine is not outstanding, but the temperament of the whole body is mild, the eyebrows are pleasant, and it makes people feel good at first glance.
After the people in the circle of the palace concubine recognized it, Xiao Han pointed to another circle of people to recognize her.
"That's the crown princess and several other princesses." Xiao Han paused and lowered his voice: "Those two are wearing pink clothes and hairpins and begonia flowers on their heads, and they are the two princes Liangdi. â
Chang Runzhi was surprised and said: "The prince also brought the two Liangdi?" â
Xiao Han nodded, with a hint of sneer on his face: "It's just for the two of them to see." â
Chang Runzhi knows this prince.
Probably because of Emperor Yuanwu's words and deeds, this prince likes to collect beauties in the backyard like Emperor Yuanwu. The crown princess, the prince Liangdi, as well as the prince's widows, the prince's concubines, etc., these prince's backyard positions have been occupied, and it can be seen that there are a large number of people.
Among them, the maiden families of the two princes Liangdi can be said to be the mainstays of the forces that support the prince.
But looking at the expression of the crown princess, she obviously felt very unhappy about taking the two princes to the palace banquet together, because her face was extremely poor.
It's not hard to see why.
When the Great Wei Dynasty opened, Gaozu issued an edict, and his son-in-law inherited the throne, which was orthodox. And for the latter, the descendants must hand over the power to prevent the descendants from sitting on the throne.
Even now, those who can ascend to the throne are those who have little power in the mother family. Because most of them want to protect their son-in-law to succeed to the throne, the queen's maiden family is either famous but not powerful, or she is simply born as a commoner.
And Emperor Yuanwu sent his wife to Empress Chunyu, she was born as a commoner.
Maybe it's because the mother doesn't have a sense of zĂ i, and the queen's early death, that the prince is so obsessed with power.
However, Emperor Yuanwu may have misunderstood what Gaozu meant.
Gaozu didn't want his relatives to sit big, so he had that will.
However, Emperor Yuanwu used the harem as a tool to entrap the courtiers, but he added so many sons of his maternal clan Xuanhe, making him a powerful opponent of the prince......
The crown prince is jealous, and the princes have their own thoughts, and the fight between them is inevitable.
On the one hand, Chang Run felt pity for the prince, and on the other hand, he was very displeased with some of the prince's actions.
Her brother-in-law is King Rui, although King Rui has no desire to compete for the throne, but from some of the words of the eldest sister when she returned to her parents' house, King Rui has no good impression of the prince.
Now seeing that the prince brought his wife and concubine to the palace banquet of foreign clans, the two princes Liangdi looked like masters...... Chang Runzhi secretly scolded the prince as a "scumbag" in his heart.
As the crown princess's wife, she will be the queen when the prince succeeds to the throne in the future.
Since she may be the future queen, her mother's family must have no power.
In front of the two very powerful princes of her mother's family, can the princess be able to hold her wife's posture?
Most not.
Therefore, the crown princess's face was not good-looking, and the two princes greeted the wives on her behalf with a smile, but they did a good job.
The crown prince didn't consider the princess's feelings at all.
Chang Runzhi muttered a few words to Xiao Han in a low voice, Xiao Han patted her hand and whispered: "That's no way, the two princes Liangdi already have sons, and the crown princess gave birth to three daughters in a row, and she doesn't have a son under her knees...... You have to be aggrieved. â
Speaking of this, Xiao Han had to be relieved: "Fortunately, your eldest sister and second sister are angry......
The topic turned to the sons of the two older sisters.
Chang Muzhi gave birth to three sons in a row, Chang Qinzhi already has a son, and with a son-in-law, he is naturally more loved by his husband and his wife's position is stable.
After sitting with Xiao Han for a while, Chang Runzhi couldn't sit still.
The people of Dawei are particularly fond of incense, and both men and women have this problem. So when such a bunch of people get together, the tip of the nose lingers with all kinds of fragrances.
Chang Runzhi usually doesn't use incense, and he is not used to smelling fragrances, but after staying here for a long time, he feels chest tightness and shortness of breath, and dizziness.
Xiao Han also knew that she was wrong, and when he saw that her face was a little unsightly, and she couldn't sit still, he asked her softly if she was uncomfortable.
"Mother, I'm so bored ......" Chang Runzhi was not hypocritical, stroked his chest and said, "Can I go to the pool to take a breather?" â
Chang Runzhi knew the rules of the palace, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
Xiao Han looked around and felt that it should be fine, so he asked the old lady for permission, and asked the two little palace ladies to accompany her for a walk.
Chang Runzhi was overjoyed, thanked Xiao Han, and quietly withdrew with the two palace laves.
Out of the circle of women, Chang Runzhi felt that the sky was much brighter.
She looked at the two little Gong'e, who were only thirteen or fourteen years old, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" How many years have you been in the palace? â
One of the little palace ladies also replied with a smile: "The slave name is Chi Shao, I have been in the palace for three years, and I used to serve in the palace of the concubine Niangniang. â
Another little palace lady said: "The slave's name is Wanbai, I have been in the palace for eight years, and I used to work with the female officials. After the female official Chang left the palace, the slave was transferred to work beside the female official Li of the Qinzheng Palace. â
Chang Runzhi suddenly asked, "Lady Chang...... Is it the second girl Chang from the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion? â
"Exactly." Wanbai smiled: "It's the sister of the third girl." â
Chang Runzhi immediately understood.
No wonder Xiao Han asked these two palace ladies to accompany her, it turned out that they were all "related households".
Chang Runzhi showed two points of kindness on his face, and took the reward prepared before going out to the two of them. Chi Shao and Wan Bai both bowed down and thanked them.
Chang Runzhi walked for a while, and then saw a strange stone forest piled up by rockeries not far from the coast, and there was a pavilion on the top of the strange stone forest.
Chi Shao said to Chang Run: "It's in a high place, and the scenery is good, why don't the three girls sit there?" â
Chang Runzhi naturally has no objections.
The three of them slowly climbed the stairs.
The gazebo is not very high, but it is a pile of stones under the feet, and it is a little difficult to walk. Squeezing around in the rockery, the cold will be rubble.
As he was about to ascend the last few stone steps, Chang Runzhi heard the voice of someone talking.
Chi Shao looked up and said in surprise: "Someone has already come first." â
The location of the pavilion is hidden in the rockery, and even if there are people in the pavilion, it will be covered, so Chang Runzhi and the three of them didn't realize that there were already people here.
The people above heard the movement, so they also leaned out to look, and a female official frowned and said softly: "The crown princess is resting here, I don't know who she is?" â
Chang Runzhi was not up or down, and he was in a dilemma.
Before she could speak, the princess's gentle voice sounded first: "It's okay, since you've already arrived here, you can't let people go down." Invite someone up. â
Chang Runzhi bowed down and thanked him, climbed to the top of the height, and entered the pavilion.
