Chapter 37: The Eldest Princess of Nanping

"When-" The thick bell rang with the sound of chanting, and Daye Temple, the royal temple of Daqin, began the day's lunch class.

In the garden behind the main hall, a plainly dressed lady sat in the pavilion with a gray-robed nun and a noblewoman, and the noblewoman picked up some fish food and sprinkled it into the pond under the pavilion, attracting countless koi fish to compete for food, "A-Niang, you have been looking a lot better recently." After feeding the fish food, the lady wiped her hands with a handkerchief and smiled at the nun.

The nun slowly turned the sandalwood beads in her hand without saying a word, this nun looked like she was in her early sixties, although she had become a nun, she still had thick black hair, and the gray robe on her body looked inconspicuous at first, and she also found that it was a luxurious brocade, and her work was extremely meticulous.

The noble lady smiled and hugged the nun's arm, "Ah Niang, are you really angry with me?" Angry that I refuse to marry Sanniang to Da Lang? "This noble lady looks about forty years old, and she is already the age of a grandmother, but she still has the same coquettishness as a daughter when she is a nun.

"Sanniang is your daughter, whoever you want her to marry is whoever." After turning around a few times, the nun finally couldn't stand the coquettishness of her beloved daughter, and said, this nun is the most noble woman in Daqin - Empress Dowager An, Empress Dowager An has tough facial features, tall figure, and not outstanding appearance, but she has a heroic spirit.

"A-Niang is still angry." The noble lady leaned her head on the nun, "A-Niang, do you like me or Anqing?" The eldest princess of Nanping asked childishly.

Empress Dowager An glanced at her daughter and didn't speak, Nanping chuckled, "A-Niang, I'm more important, right?" ”

"How old are you and still like this, let your grandson see it and not laugh at you!" Empress Dowager An reprimanded.

Nanping said: "I am a great-grandmother, and I am also a mother's child." There's no one else here, can't I be coquettish to A-Niang? ”

Empress Dowager An sighed, "Then you want Sanniang to marry Jiang Wu." She still compromised, as Nanping said, compared to her daughter, of course, her daughter is more important.

Nanping said: "A-Niang, it's not that I don't like Da Lang, I just don't like An Qing." ”

Empress Dowager An didn't speak, her daughter looked down on her niece since she was a child, and she was jealous of her niece.

Nanping didn't know what her mother was thinking, she snuggled in the arms of the Empress Dowager An and said: "Auntie, you really treat me as a child and be jealous of An Qing." ”

"You're worse than a child now." Empress Dowager An didn't have a good air, but her expression gradually eased.

"That's because it's against A-Niang." Nanping said with a smile, "A-Niang, you said that An Qing only entered the palace one year later than Jiang Changhui, but gave birth to a child twelve years earlier than Jiang Changhui, but in the end, Jiang Changhui gave birth to the prince." Do you think she can fight Jiang Changhui? Nanping sneered, she had never taken a fancy to An Qing, of course she didn't look down on Jiang Changhui, as far as she was concerned, Jiang Changhui's biggest luck was that he had a good look, a simple mind, a rough personality, as stupid as he wanted, and he would eat her if he was a man.

"Ah Qing didn't expect that she would be able to give birth when she was nearly thirty years old." Empress Dowager An defended her niece.

"Who says a woman can't give birth when she's nearly thirty?" Nan Ping asked rhetorically, "Are there fewer children over thirty?" Then how did my Sanniang come? "Wei Sanniang is a child born in Nanping when he was nearly thirty years old. The noble daughters of the family have been pampered since childhood, and now they are far from being so restrained by women in later generations, and women are not allowed to be raised in the boudoir, so most of the noble girls can give birth to more than a dozen children as long as they want to give birth after marriage, and it is not uncommon to have children at the age of thirty.

Empress Dowager An was silent, her daughter's eloquence was so articulate that even the first emperor couldn't argue with her.

"A-Niang, do you remember Liu Guifei and Liu Zijing?" Nanping asked.

Empress Dowager An's expression moved slightly, Liu Zijing is the first emperor's best friend, and the bold Taizu is different, the first emperor's personality is suspicious, and he is not very close to his courtiers, but he is very fond of Liu Zijing, once he has a free day, he loves to call Liu Zijing to accompany him, and sometimes when he talks about sexuality, he will leave Liu Zijing to stay in the palace overnight, and the two of them fall asleep, it can be said that Liu Zijing is the most trusted courtier of the first emperor. When Liu Zijing died, the first emperor personally put on linen to support the spirit, and in March, when he was invited out by the courtiers, everyone lost a lot of weight.

Liu Guifei is Liu Zijing is younger sister, because of the relationship between the eldest brother, she favored the harem and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. But it was such a courtier who was loved to the extreme by the first emperor before and after his death, but in the end, because of his two sons and the later period of the first emperor's dispute, the first emperor razed the three clans, and even the two princes born to Liu Guifei were exiled to Lingnan by the first emperor, and died half a year later, Liu Guifei also surrendered after the fall of the Liu family, and the Liu family completely disappeared in Daqin.

"Back then, I asked Aya why he wanted to raze the three clans of the Liu family." Nanping said in a low voice, "Aya is so good to Uncle Liu, why can you bear to watch him be the last." At the beginning, the Wang family and the He family were still opposed to Zu Weng's accession to the throne, and Zu Weng just killed their family, and even their brothers did not move, and even Zu Weng recruited the Wang family into the court as officials in the later period. Aya even pampered the daughter of the He family.

Empress Dowager An looked at her daughter in shock, "You are so bold!" "At that meeting of the three clans of Liu Jiayi, there was a bloody storm in the court, and the concubines in the palace held their breath one by one, for fear of accidentally angering the first emperor, and the daughter dared to ask the first emperor!

"At that time, I was young and ignorant." Nanping smiled, and then she said solemnly: "Aya said, because the Wang family and the He family are the courtiers of Qianchen, they are loyal to the king, and they are different from us, so Zu Weng killed them, but they are not wrong, there is no need to kill them all, they need to leave a line in life and work, and be good to others and do good to themselves." ”

Empress Dowager An listened to her daughter tell the words of the first emperor, and her heart was mixed.

"But the Liu family is different, the Liu family wants to rebel, if they succeed, our Zhao family's country will be changed to Chen, this is-" Nanping said word by word: "Two tigers will die when they fight!" "So even if Liu Zijing is the only close friend of the first emperor, the first emperor will not show mercy.

Empress Dowager An listened to her daughter's words, sighed in her heart, and already understood what her daughter meant.

"Auntie, but what do you see An Qing doing? When Wai Weng and his cousin died on the battlefield, you said that you wanted to bring An Jun back, but what about her? She actually wanted to send someone to kill An Jun's biological mother. Nanping smiled contemptuously, "If she really killed the whole family, I would praise her for her decisiveness, but she only made people lose an arm." Is she looking for a brother who supports her, or is she making a feud with someone? She thinks An Jun is a fool? An family is so poor? Can't give the outer room a bite to eat? Uncle is dead, is she still afraid that people will fight for her aunt to the death? ”

Empress Dowager An was annoyed that her daughter said it was too ugly, no matter how she said that this was her mother's family, "Auntie! ”

"How many people has she killed in private over the years?" Nanping sneered, "Her concubine's style is more than that of me, the eldest princess, and Jiang Changhui's queen." "Nanping is the eldest princess, loved by her parents, arrogant and willful, and no one at her head is sure, so she and Jiang Changhui don't like each other, but the two have one thing in common, that is, they can't look down on An Qing.

Obviously, An Jun and her are the brothers of the same father, and they will need him to support them in the future, but she made An Jun lose his heart from her. She knew that she was so 'virtuous' and pestered her third brother so much, and Jiang Changhui would either die or I would live in the future. For twelve years, she monopolized San Lang for twelve years, but she also let Jiang Changhui give birth to a son-in-law. Nanping said coldly, "Such a person who bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, and the eyes of the rat are inches, are you really ready to be dragged into the water by her?" In the battle of broken leaves, the Jiang family and the Guo family were all seriously injured, and Jiang Rin was lying on the bed with half a breath left, and he was able to train a cavalry for San Lang, and the Turks who fought did not dare to commit it again for ten years. In the past 20 years, the Guo family has also invested a lot of people in it, and Anton's side is still stable, and there is no one in the two families, and the side branches have been raised, what about the family? What did they do? "Pressing the side branch and refusing to let the side head go, do you really think that you can write the word "An" with one stroke? At the beginning, her ancestors relied on the concerted efforts of the brothers in the clan to fight the world, otherwise what would the family do? It's all a single family.

Nanping is the first emperor's beloved daughter, the first emperor loves the only concubine very much, Nanping grew up on her father's knees since she was a child, since she was a child, she heard that the first emperor and his courtiers discussed political affairs, and the people in front of her are the most powerful people in the world, and the vision is naturally not comparable to ordinary women, that is, the Empress Dowager An often listens to her daughter's advice when her daughter becomes an adult, "But An family-"

"Auntie, my grandfather has passed away, my uncle is gone, my cousin is gone, and we are the only ones in the An family." Nan Ping held the hand of the Empress Dowager An tightly, "You are the Empress Dowager, no matter who the position is in the future, you are the Empress Dowager, why should we go to wade into the troubled waters of Anqing?" Does An Halal take An Jia in his eyes? She is now here to settle down, and she is clearly for the position of the queen mother! ”

"Auntie!" Empress Dowager An's color changed, how could she say this casually.

"A-Niang, don't worry, there's no one here." Nanping smiled lightly, "Besides, we can have today, it doesn't depend on that title, who is Anqing?" She is Concubine An! Nanping pointed out what the Empress Dowager An cared about the most, "You treat Concubine An like this, aren't you afraid that San Lang will treat you like this in the future?" "Zhao Min is not the Empress Dowager An's biological son, what the Empress Dowager An can suppress him is filial piety, she is Zhao Min's mother-in-law, but if Empress Dowager An supports Concubine An, is it possible that Zhao Min can also put Concubine He above her?

When Empress Dowager An heard her daughter's last words, she thought thoughtfully, yes, she and Nanping can have this honor now, and it is not that she is the original wife of the first emperor, so she can be named the queen mother, and the He family can only be Concubine He.

"A-Niang, as long as we are here, An will be there." Nanping persuaded Empress Dowager An earnestly.

Empress Dowager An was silent for a long time, "That's it, I'm old, let's be quiet and cultivate." She looked at her daughter with regret, why Nanping is not a son, otherwise why would she be like this now.

"A-Niang, Concubine He has also served you for so many years, so let's settle the matter in terms of status." Nanping said with a smile, Concubine He has called so many concubines, and Zhao Min doesn't want to promote his mother to the queen mother all the time.

Empress Dowager An's face sank, "Do you want me to be compared to the daughter of that criminal minister?" ”

"It's just a name, no matter what, you are the only queen of Aya, and it's enough for Saburo to endure it for so many years." Nanping is very open in this regard, "You see how comfortable you are here." "It was her idea to let the Empress Dowager An go out of the palace to cultivate, and now she is not her mother's biological son, you are far away and cheap, it is better to go out of the palace and be happy. If A-Niang is in the palace, maybe An Qing will provoke A-Niang to suppress Jiang Changhui, offending the Jiang family, they will lose more than they gain, it is better to go out of the palace and be happy, and no one cares what they want to do. Seeing how happy A-Niang is now, her complexion is much better than before in the palace, Nanping thought with great satisfaction.

"I didn't treat her badly." Empress Dowager An is still unwilling, what she said is not a lie, the first emperor has been dead for so many years, Concubine He has always been submissive, she is old, and it is impossible to compete with her anymore, the two now have a feeling of dependence on each other, and life in the temple is also very comfortable, if not, how could Zhao Min be willing to leave his biological mother here?

"A-Niang, I've found two jugglers these days, and I'll let them in in a while, which one do you like? The other one will be sent to Concubine He, or you can accept it all, Concubine He, I'll find another ...... over there" Nanping whispered to his mother, Nanping has had their own games since she gave birth to three sons and three daughters with the horse. Nanping thinks she is very considerate, she has been married to the horse for many years, and the children have given birth to six, she herself has long been tired of the face of the horse, and she is tired of seeing herself when she wants to come to the horse, so it is better to play with each other. Occasionally, the husband and wife miss each other, and the mandarin duck embroidery is turned red, she will not give birth to a child who is not the Wei family, and the concubine will not make a concubine to hinder her eyes, so they are a few loving couples in the upper class of Daqin, and she is also a model of a virtuous princess promoted by the royal family.

Empress Dowager An glared at her daughter, but she didn't say anything against it, "You look down on Jiang Changhui like this?" Empress Dowager An asked.

"It's not that I like it, but I don't have a choice." Nanping sighed, she also wanted to choose a better one, but she didn't.

Empress Dowager An seemed to smile, "You also want to grab a good position in the future, right?" "The Wei family has not had any outstanding characters over the years, so they must be in a hurry.

Nanping smiled, "A-Niang, only if the Wei family is good, we can be better." "Otherwise, with her respect as the eldest princess, why would she get involved in the battle for the throne?

Empress Dowager An did not speak.

Nanping looked at her mother's loose look and nodded with satisfaction, who said that her aunt was short-tempered, stubborn, and didn't listen to people's persuasion? Whoever says this is definitely not A-Niang's own daughter! Nanping secretly thought in his heart, he explained to A-Niang, and then he had to inform Jiang Fu, Nanping was very sure that Jiang Fu would not refuse her, and Jiang Fu's marriage partner to Jiang Wu would definitely not be selected among the ministers. Nanping was full of confidence, but he didn't expect that his baby girl would do something that she couldn't have imagined after seeing the tragic situation of Concubine An. It is no wonder that the news of Nanping and Empress Dowager An is lagging behind, Daye Temple is also in the suburbs of Beijing, and there is still some distance from the capital.

"Ahh In the study, Zhao Yuan sneezed inexplicably.

"Ah Lang has a cold?" Zhao Yuan's staff asked with concern, "Do you want to call a doctor?" ”

"Nothing." Zhao Yuan felt a little uneasy inexplicably, he frowned slightly, and signaled to the staff that there was no need to make a fuss. He has been busy these days, and he can't spare time to see Ah Ning, and he doesn't know how Ah Ning has been doing these days? Zhao Yuan calculated, it seems that it should be the day of her little life? Zhao Yuan secretly thought, maybe go to the palace today? Ah Ning shouldn't refuse her to be close these days, she won't practice after she comes to Xiaori. Zhao Yuan was very glad that she hadn't cut off the red dragon after practicing for so many years, he thought that Ah Ning was about to go crazy in her cultivation, could a woman cut off the red dragon casually?

"Aaron." Zhao Yuan's henchman didn't wait for the report, and hurriedly walked in, attracting dissatisfied glares from the staff, he was really a eunuch who didn't know how to be polite!

Zhao Yuan got up and motioned for the servant to follow him in, "What's the matter?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Ah Lang, the third lady just beat An Guifei and asked An Guifei to wipe the floor." The chamberlain whispered, the relationship between Zhao Yuan and Empress Jiang, Zhao Yuan is the only one around him who knows, because of his different identities, he can enter and leave the palace at will, so most of the news in the palace is passed by him.

Zhao Yuan remembered that Zhao Min took Da Lang to the court today, and smiled dumbly, "It's really a coincidence." He didn't think that Ah Ning would know in advance that Zhao Min would take Da Lang to the court, but her slap was really good.

The waiter lowered his head and didn't speak, Zhao Yuan pondered for a while, and walked into the study again, it seemed that he had to find something for Zhao Min to do.

At the same time, Jiang Ke, who was still on the board of directors of Shangshu Province, also received the news that his daughter slapped An Guifei more than 20 times, Zhao Yuan's news was passed by the eyeliner he deliberately left in the palace, and the person who came to inform Jiang Ke was sent by the Yan female official, Jiang Ke listened to the news calmly, signaled the person to step down, and then continued to go back to the official office to deal with official business, and then checked the notes sent by various ministries, and it was best to find a few urgent reports.

Zhao Min took his eldest son to Jing'anfang, the largest in the capital, so that the eldest prince could observe the ordinary life in the private square, which was the place where the first emperor had brought him before, and he never came again after the first emperor died. When the father and son returned to the palace after visiting Fang City, Concubine An had already returned to Guanju Palace, and after freshening up, she lay on the bed and called the doctor to come for treatment.

"What's going on?" Zhao Min and the eldest prince looked at Concubine An's red and swollen face in shock.

The corners of Concubine An's mouth twitched, "The concubine accidentally fell." She whispered.

Wrestling? The eldest prince couldn't believe that the scars on his aunt's face were fallen.

Zhao Min turned around and walked out without saying a word.

"Saint!" An Guifei got up and stumbled and grabbed him, Zhao Min walked too quickly, An Guifei didn't hold it for a while, stumbled a little, and fell to the ground.

"Ah Qing!" Zhao Min hurriedly helped her up, looked at the scars on her face, and asked distressedly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"San Lang, where are you going?" Concubine An took his hand, "If you are going to Jiaofang Palace, then give the concubine to death now." ”

"You're going to help her hide it now!" Zhao Min lightly touched her cheek with his hand, "Who else would dare to do this to you besides her!" ”

An Guifei smiled reluctantly, "But she is the queen, I am the concubine, and she should punish me." ”

"As a natural mother, she is the mother of the world, and even this little bit of tolerance-" Before Zhao Min's words could speak, she was interrupted by Concubine An Guifei, her head resting on Zhao Min's arms, "San Lang, I know your intentions for me, but she is the queen, and it is natural for her to punish me, I don't want you to be impeached by the minister again." ”

Zhao Min was silent, he remembered that the last time Jiang Changhui beat Ah Qing like this, he went to Jiang Changhui to defend himself and wanted to lock her up, but he was impeached by the minister of the previous dynasty, "Ah Qing, I have wronged you-" He hugged Concubine An into his arms, feeling infinitely guilty.

Concubine An lowered her head and said softly: "San Lang, for you, I am willing to do anything." She won't let Zhao Min go to Jiang Changhui now, now that he goes, he will forget it after he gets angry, she wants Zhao Min to keep these little by little in mind! She wanted Zhao Min to always remember that he, as the emperor, was suppressed by a courtier!

"Ah Qing endure again, endure again-" Zhao Min muttered, only he knew what the following words meant.

An Guifei said in a low voice: "San Lang, as long as you ask me to do something, it's not forbearance." ”

Zhao Min hugged her tighter, and Concubine An Guifei pushed him and said, "You go and freshen up, I'll let Zhaoyi serve you, my face today-" She laughed at herself, "Don't scare you." ”

"Am I judged by my appearance?" Zhao Min was displeased, "What do you look like I haven't seen?" ”

Concubine An smiled softly at him, barely holding back the sharp pain in her face.

Zhao Min took the ointment and carefully medicated her, and a strong friendship flowed between the two.

Jiang Wei, who was admitted to the palace by Queen Jiang, bowed down to her aunt again after hearing her aunt's heroic deeds, auntie, you are too good! She looked at her aunt with starry eyes.

Jiang Changhui happily hugged Jiang Wei in his arms and kissed her several times, "Ah Zhi, do you want to be aunt these days?" ”

"Yes! Ah Zhi misses his aunt the most! Jiang Wei nodded vigorously.

Jiang Changhui smiled and narrowed his phoenix eyes, "Auntie also wants to know the most." She asked Gao Jingde why he returned to the palace so late.

Gao Jingde told everything that happened in the Jiang family, Jiang Changhui smiled and bent over, "Oops! Our family Ah Zhi has Xiao Langjun who likes it at such a young age, and she really deserves to be my niece. ”

Jiang Wei was embarrassed, auntie, are you so entertaining your son and niece?

And Lady Yan was a little worried, the queen beat Concubine An, it is said that the saint should have come a long time ago, why didn't she see him coming? Lady Yan is willing to come up and quarrel with the queen, and she shouldn't be so calm.

Jiang Changhui didn't care at all, she was happy if Zhao Min didn't come. Jiang Wei listened to gossip in the palace for a few days, and also knew about today's events, and secretly wondered in his heart, Auntie's method is really easy to use and relieve, or Auntie's queen is refreshing, but Jiang Wei also has a trace of worry in her heart, there is no queen like Aunt in history, such as Empress Chen and Empress Huo of the Han Dynasty, but their results are not very good...... However, Auntie is better than them in one thing, that is, they don't have a prince, and Auntie has a prince. As for Concubine An's eldest prince, Jiang Weizhen didn't pay much attention to it, throughout Chinese history, there are really not many emperors succeeded by the eldest son of the emperor, and generally speaking, the eldest son of the emperor is like cannon fodder.

Everyone said that the emperor liked An Guifei, but Jiang Wei didn't think so, Zhao Min favored An Guifei more than he loved, most of his love for An Guifei was based on asking for it, if An Qing had followed his assumptions, she was the crown princess before, and now she is the queen, she would have fallen out of favor a long time ago. There are too many emperors who favor concubines in history, okay, if he and Concubine An are true lovers, then the series of emperors in the Ming Dynasty who favored concubines to kill their wives and abolished their queens are called lovers? But this also proves that this person loves himself the most in his heart, and he has no ability. The monarchy and the gentry are complementary to each other, you are strong and I am weak, if the imperial power is strong, Zhao Min doesn't do whatever he wants? However, based on her surname Jiang, she sincerely prayed that Zhao Min would be as weak as possible.

Zhao Min's sudden silence made everyone a little strange, if he hadn't been living in Guan Ju Palace for the past few days, everyone would have thought that Concubine An Guifei had fallen out of favor.

Female official Yan and Gao Jingde were a little worried, but Jiang Changhui didn't care at all, he ate and drank with Jiang Wei every day, his aunt and nephew loved beauty as much, Jiang Changhui could be regarded as having found a person who had a common language with him, Jiang Changhui was not feeling well, and the two of them nested in the palace every day eating snacks carefully cooked by the imperial kitchen, changing all kinds of beautiful clothes and jewelry, and they were so happy that they didn't know what year it was. It wasn't until two pieces of news came that Queen Jiang began to get busy.

A piece of news is related to Empress Jiang's busyness, Empress Dowager An and Concubine He are going back to the palace.

The second is about Wei Sanniang, Wei Sanniang and her aunt's cousin were found when they were rolling in the back garden, and now the two families are ready to marry.

When Jiang Wei heard the good news of Wei Sanniang's marriage, she silently praised her aunt, her aunt was too powerful! Is this an example to the monkey? But auntie, you are so mighty, what will you do when Zhao Heng marries his daughter-in-law in the future?

The author has something to say: There are still one or two chapters, and Ah Zhi will be a few years older again~

It is said that at that time, the queen mother who did not raise a lover was a scarcer resource than a giant panda, and it was normal for the queen to raise a lover, not to mention raising a lover, even if she was interested, it was not uncommon to fight in the field outside.

Wei Sanniang, basically as long as the door is right, it is the most feminine and most constrained Ming and Qing dynasties, basically the parents of both sides will fulfill this pair, and they will not punish their daughters.

There is also the emperor's love for the courtiers to die to say, the result is that the last one really has, Jian'an's seventh son Wang Cang likes to listen to the donkey's bark, after he died, his good friend Cao Pi led a group of ministers to pay tribute, and then Cao Pi said, "Wang Cang loves to learn donkey barking on weekdays, let's learn donkey barking together, send him into the soil for peace!" Immediately, Cao Pi took the lead in learning to bark as a donkey. The other people present also followed suit, and for a while, a donkey's bark sounded one after another in front of Wang Cang's tomb.

In the second year after that, Cao Pi killed Wang Cang's two sons because of their involvement in the rebellion, and even Cao Pi's father, Cao Cao, sighed when he heard the news that if he was there, he would not let Wang Cang die. But this father and son are very ruthless, and no one should bury anyone.
