Chapter 114: Princess

The Chen family spent the year in a joyful mood. The palace is also jubilant this year. In this year, the iron wall was regained, the victims were pacified, and the northwest was rebuilt after the disaster, which was all the credit of the emperor. There are also unhappy, Wan Guifei was ousted from the stage, and the queen was confined in the palace, and the people of these two factions were not happy, but there were people coming and going in the Zhongcui Palace, and they were full of joy.

Chen Guifei had just finished dealing with a group of harem people who came to ask for peace, chat, and stammer, and was about to take a sip of tea and take a breath, when the eldest girl Yu'er came to report that Princess Lichuan was here.

Chen Guifei didn't care about being tired, so she hurriedly stood up and walked quickly to the door, more excited than the emperor was coming. It's just that before he reached the door, a fiery figure had already walked in quickly, it was Princess Lichuan who Chen Guifei was thinking about day and night.

As soon as Princess Lichuan saw Chen Guifei, she pounced and shouted, "Mother, why haven't you asked me to enter the palace this time?" ”

Chen Guifei hugged her daughter, but her daughter's stature was taller than her, Chen Guifei smiled and said: "I hope that you will be good in front of me every day, but now that you are married, should you still be by your mother's side as a daughter-in-law?" Besides, I just became a concubine and was about to deal with the people and relationships in the palace, so I didn't let you enter the palace. Why did you come by yourself today? ”

Princess Lichuan tilted her face proudly and said, "Hmph, my mother doesn't want me, but my father misses me, and it was my father who announced that I came to the palace to see you." ”

Chen Guifei couldn't help frowning: "How could the emperor announce your entry into the palace?" Have you done something wrong lately? Who is going to preach the will, holy decree or oral message? ”

Princess Lichuan said disapprerovingly: "The mother concubine is already the first person in this harem, and she is still so careful." Where did I do anything wrong, it was the father-in-law who came to the emperor's side to pass on the word in my mansion, saying that I haven't entered the palace recently, and I miss me, so let me wait in my mother's palace first. In the evening, my father came over for dinner. By the way, Mother, you still have to prepare the meal first. Wine and food bar. ”

Although Chen Guifei was not sure of the emperor's intentions, she thought that she was happy. He hurriedly instructed the palace people to prepare.

After instructing the driver, Chen Guifei took her daughter's hand and sat down, looked at her daughter carefully, and saw that her daughter was wearing a red gold robe, with a rose and purple two-color gold and silver mouse shoulder gown inside, and a red silk leather skirt on the lower body, revealing a pair of deerskin cloud digging boots. It looks gorgeous and generous, and it also exudes a playful energy, wearing a trembling palace-made silk flower on his head, and two red gold bonsai hairpins are inserted next to him. Wearing a small ivory comb, the skin on his face is white and red, and it looks very moisturized.

Chen Guifei nodded and said, "Lichuan, it seems that the colt should be very good to you, are you not allowed to be angry with the colt?" ”

Princess Lichuan pouted and said, "Hmph." Where do I need to lose my temper with him, he depends on me in everything, and I don't have anything that goes wrong, why lose my temper? ”

Chen Guifei laughed: "You, you are blessed. It's rare to meet such a good child as a colt. ”

Princess Lichuan said proudly: "Of course, if it weren't for looking at him as a good person, where would I marry him, just at his messy home, whose girl would want to go?" ”

Princess Lichuan's father is Xu Rui, Marquis of Jinghai, and her grandfather is Xu Xian, Duke of Jinghai. Jinghai Gong Xu Xian was born in a slight cold background when he was young, and later because he could fight, especially good at naval battles, he was promoted from a small soldier to a general soldier step by step. After becoming the chief soldier, Xu Xian felt that he still needed a father and son to fight, so he went back to his hometown and brought his son out to fight with him. Xu Xian has three sons, the eldest son is Xu Rui, who stayed at home to keep the family business, the second son and the third son are Xu Bao, and Xu Lin was brought out to fight.

In this way, the father and son repeatedly made military exploits, and finally Xu Xian was named the Duke of Jinghai, and Xu Bao and Xu Lin became generals. As soon as Xu Xian saw that the second and third children had been settled, the boss stayed in the township and had no interest, so he called the boss to the capital and asked for the title of prince, and later inherited the title and became the Marquis of Jinghai.

The Xu family is from the army, has many connections in the army, and is very prestigious, but the three brothers of the Xu family are not harmonious. Mainly because Xu Xian developed too late, the three sons all came out after they got married, they all got married in the countryside, and naturally they all married ordinary village women.

These three concubines are all superb, they are all experts when it comes to playing tricks, and when it comes to housekeepers, the personal contacts between the official eunuch families are numb, and the three concubines often scold each other, which has become a big joke in the capital, and the relationship between the three families is also pimple. Fortunately, the three brothers are still very united.

Princess Lichuan's mother-in-law Yu is a typical rural woman, although she became a marquise, but she made a mess of things like housekeeping, but Xu Rui is a lustful person, there are many concubines in the backyard, most of these concubines are literate, young and beautiful, and they suddenly set off Yu's unbearable, but Yu's is also very stupid, and is often used by these concubines, making a lot of jokes, and becoming the laughing stock of the capital's ladies' circle.

So after Princess Lichuan married into the Xu family, the huge family of the Xu family finally found a noble-born mother. Originally, the princess married and lived in the princess's mansion, and she didn't have to worry about her mother-in-law's affairs, and there was a long history in the princess's mansion, officials, craftsmen, housekeepers, and palace maids, and she didn't need her mother-in-law to take care of her, but the Xu family was too special, and the three brothers Xu Rui personally begged the princess to be in charge of the family, and Princess Lichuan had to agree.

Now the Duke of Lichuan is in charge of the housekeeping of the four mansions, one princess's mansion, one marquis' mansion, and two general's mansions. Of course, this also reflects the princess's transcendent status in the Xu family.

Chen Guifei heard what her daughter said, and then thought about the affairs of the Xu family, pursed her lips and smiled: "You, thanks to the many things I taught you before, and the manpower I trained for you is also good, otherwise you are now in charge of the four mansions, can you be so smooth?" ”

Princess Lichuan twisted her head into her mother's arms and said, "It's better for my mother to treat me."

Chen Guifei stroked her daughter's hair and said, "Have those aunts in your family been making trouble recently?" Did your mother-in-law find fault with you? ”

The Yu family is a well-known figure, so Concubine Chen Guifei was worried about her daughter, but Princess Lichuan said: "If I were a girl from a noble family, I would be miserable, and I wouldn't be tortured to death by my father-in-law's concubine and stupid mother-in-law?" Fortunately, I was born in the royal family, where did they dare, a few of them wanted to pick on the thorns, and they were immediately seen by the grandmothers around me, and my upbringing grandmothers are all elites from the palace, and it is not easy to deal with them. I don't need to cāo heart at all. ”

Chen Guifei nodded, too, her daughter is the emperor's favorite daughter. Besides, now that she has become a concubine, she is the first person in the harem, and she is close to the queen, presumably those people in the Xu family dare not offend their daughter.

Thinking of this, Chen Guifei smiled.

Princess Lichuan said again: "Mother, recently, it has been very popular in the capital to go to the Cuijin Building opened by the third uncle's house to make clothes, and I have also done a few of them, not to mention, I can catch up with the level of needlework in the palace." One day, let them make a few fresh clothes for the mother concubine. ”

Chen Guifei was about to agree, when a hearty voice came in: "Look, they are all people who have been out of the house for a few years, and they are still like children, lying in the arms of their mother, are they ashamed?" ”

It turned out that the emperor came, and he was very happy to see that his daughter was still lying in Chen Guifei's arms as before she got married, so he laughed at her daughter.

Concubine Chen Guifei hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully, but Princess Lichuan rushed to her father, grabbed the emperor's beard and said, "My father came to laugh at me again, I don't follow, how about getting married?" I'm still the daughter of my father and my mother, am I? ”

Chen Guifei was busy scolding her daughter for not being rude, but the emperor smiled and enjoyed it and said: "Good boy, you are right, let go of my beard, it is all pulled off, tomorrow I will go to the court, those ministers are strange, and when I asked, I had to say that the dignified and luxurious Princess Lichuan you saw was actually very naughty, and she pulled off my beard." Hahahaha. ”

Princess Lichuan hurriedly put down her hand and said: "Hmph, every time you threaten me like this and destroy my image, my father is not allowed to say it, I am now the most popular person in the circle of noblewomen in the capital, so I must always pay attention." ”

The Emperor laughed again. He has a lot of children, but most of them tremble when they see him, only Lichuan, who has treated him like an ordinary father since he was a child, playing and cheating, so he loves this daughter the most.

Chen Guifei smiled and watched the interaction between the father and daughter, and was very happy.

When the emperor saw Chen Guifei at this time, he said: "Aifei, your brother is really a loyal minister, not only did he donate all the money obtained from selling technology to my treasury, but also acted quickly, and more than one million taels of silver were shipped in just a few days. Chen Yuanheng is really a charcoal in the snow this time. ”

Concubine Chen Guifei hurriedly said humbly: "The emperor has won the award, and it is the honor of the Chen family for the younger brother of the concubine to serve the country." ”

The emperor nodded, and Princess Lichuan said at this time: "Actually, I think the third uncle is not only loyal, but also very smart. ”

The emperor said, "Why do you say that?" ”

Princess Lichuan said: "Father, you see, the third uncle has a very good way of doing business. His restaurant branches have all opened in the capital. The dishes of the restaurant taste very good, and it has become a hot spot in the capital all of a sudden, as well as his Cui Jin Lou, and now the ladies of the capital are wearing the clothes of Cui Jin Lou. Not to mention that his wine jade ice roast is also selling very well in the capital now. Isn't it smart to come up with a method of raising poultry artificially and sell it to sell it for a year's income from the state treasury? ”

The emperor smiled and said, "His restaurant and Cuijin Lou have your shares, right?" ”

Chen Guifei's eyebrows furrowed, and then relaxed, looking light-hearted, in fact, she had already begun to think about it in her heart.

Princess Lichuan didn't care and said: "Yes, my family has a big business, and there are many places where I need money, so I happen to do business with my smart uncle and make some money." ”

The emperor smiled: "It can be seen that my good daughter is also smart. ”

Princess Lichuan immediately said, "Of course. ”
