Chapter 128: Not an Inch Yielding
With the current situation of the Tang family, it is not bad for Tang Xiaoxi to marry the prince as a side concubine, after all, the prince is the prince, and he is the original prominent of the Tang family, and Tang Zhaoyi has not entered the palace to be the Zhaoyi mother of Emperor Xia Hui.
Tang Zhaoyi has been silent since she found out, and Baili Yanqing also knew that Empress Shen wanted to win over the Tang family through Tang Xiaoxi and win over Tang Zhaoyi.
Although Tang Zhaoyi has a bad relationship with the current Tang family, it is also both prosperous and lossy, and Tang Zhaoyi, who appeared in the Tang family, can't get rid of these clansmen at all.
Tang Xiaoxi was satisfied, and after thanking him in Fengyi Palace, he also came to Tang Zhaoyi's palace to thank him, which also wanted to hold Tang Zhaoyi's tree.
As for the eldest princess, Queen Shen wanted to marry the eldest princess back to her maternal family, and it was Shen Mingzhu's second brother who was decided. Baili Yanqing secretly saw the lost Shen Mingzhu, her brother is still the princess, and Shen Mingzhu can no longer be the crown princess, so Shen Mingzhu and the prince are fated to have no part.
The prince is married here, and the three princes are not slow here, with Concubine Jiang Duan's worries, and then the intervention of the Queen Mother and Empress Shen, the decision of Emperor Xia Hui, and finally the third prince is Yu Chixue.
If you want to say that Concubine Jiang Duan likes Wei Qingfei or Jiang Yue'e, she likes Wei Qingfei because of the current strength of the Wei family, the aunt and grandmother of the Wei family are married to Baili Mansion, and Princess Duan is also the daughter of the Wei family, and there is Wei Zhaoyuan in the palace.
Concubine Jiang Duan wanted to lean on the Cui family, but the Cui family looked down on her, so the Wei family was the most suitable, after all, the Wei family and the Cui family were also close. Of course, emotionally speaking, Concubine Jiang Duan prefers her niece, but now that their mother and son need help, it is impossible for the strength of the Jiang clan alone to win the crown prince.
Concubine Jiang Duan did not take the initiative to rely on the Cui family, if the queen mother wanted to give the Cui family daughter to her son as the princess, she would definitely reluctantly agree. There are good and bad things in the Cui family, the power is too great, I am afraid that the emperor will be jealous, but the power of other families is too weak, and I am afraid that I will not win the prince.
The Wei family is really suitable. Concubine Jiang Duan also talked to Emperor Xia Hui about the Wei family, but she didn't want to go to her son here, but she turned back and made Concubine Jiang Duan angry to death.
The princess of the third prince is Yu Chixue, not that the Yu Chi family has no power, the Yu Chi family is also a century-old family, not inconspicuous, but the heritage is also profound, not worse than other families.
However, there are few people in the Wei Chi family who have entered the court as officials, and Concubine Jiang Duan does not look down on it, but thinks that it is enough for Yu Chixue to be a prince's side concubine. But I don't want the gods of the three princes to make a stroke. personally asked Emperor Xia Hui for marriage, which angered Concubine Jiang Duan.
Concubine Jiang Duan has always behaved very peacefully, gentle and gentle in the palace, and has never lost her temper, in the words of Emperor Xia Hui, that is a woman like water.
But now, when everyone is not paying attention, in the Xueyang Palace, Concubine Jiang Duan's eyes are very hideous, when the third prince comes in. Even more anger filled her beautiful face.
The third prince didn't feel that there was anything wrong with marrying Yu Chixue, although Yu Chixue's family was not very powerful, but its reputation among the people was the best, and it was difficult to save the suffering. It can be called the reincarnation of Huatuo.
The third prince can be said to have fallen in love with Yu Chixue at first sight, and he was also afraid that the prince would choose Yu Chixue as his concubine, so after the third prince found out, he asked Emperor Xia Hui first.
Emperor Xia Hui has always liked this son. In addition, Yu Chixue's identity is enough, and the Yu Chi family has always been favored by Emperor Xia Hui, so Emperor Xia Hui agreed.
Concubine Jiang Duanfei only found out later. But it's too late.
After the holy decree was granted, Liao Danjie, Tang Xiaoxi, Ye Zhiqiu, and Wei Chixue left the palace.
Although they still have several years to get married, since they have been married, they are not suitable to stay in the palace anymore, and they will leave with the nurturing grandmother in the palace.
The princes and princesses are still there, but there are already four fewer daughters of the family, a few fewer people, and the study room is a little empty for a while.
The crown prince has side concubines, but the prince is not so fast, the third prince is very satisfied with Yu Chixue, and sends gifts to Yu Chi's family from time to time.
No matter how dissatisfied Concubine Jiang Duan is, there is no way, and there is no possibility of changing the holy decree. And Concubine Jiang Duan has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never disobeyed Emperor Xia Hui's will, so she also looks happy on the surface.
Although the upper study is still the previous upper study, it is different, since the prince and the third prince chose a concubine, Baili Yanqing felt that there was a lack of a simple atmosphere in the upper study.
Everyone doesn't seem to be as immature as before, and even several generations and grandchildren get together to discuss which girl is beautiful and which daughter's breasts are well developed, which makes Baili Yanqing, who has strong five senses, very speechless.
Since the daughters of the four families were missing in the study, the four families no longer had the intention of sending their daughters into the palace, and the prince and prince were all transferred, and it was inevitable to be close to each other when they were sent in again, so the four families were also quiet.
And this time it is not only Shen Mingzhu and Wei Qingfei who are lost, but also Jiang Yue'e, Cui Yingshan, and Yan Yunling.
The Yan family was defeated, if it weren't for Yan Qinghao as an attached horse and became a Yiyong Marquis, maybe the Yan family's daughter would not have been able to enter the palace.
Shen Mingzhu, Wei Qingfei and Jiang Yue'e all have plans for them, but Yan Yunling is homesick for the royal family, unless she is very good.
Baili Yanqing found that the few girls who stayed behind were studying harder, and there were only four of them left. However, Baili Yanqing slowly discovered that without the prince, there are still children and grandchildren, and even the six princes are from low backgrounds, but they are not bad in the Queen Mother's Palace.
Baili Yanqing doesn't like the atmosphere of going to the study now, the children in ancient times were more precocious, and the relatives were also early. In this era of blind marriage and dumb marriage, they also have a utilitarian heart, which makes Baili Yanqing very incredible.
She was an adult, and she was not so precocious when she was twenty-three years old.
The study has become a place for marriage, Baili Yanqing watched all this indifferently, and took everything in her eyes with the mentality of a bystander, but she could only hang it high without caring about it.
Gu Taifu naturally found such a problem, so after reacting to Emperor Xia Hui, the male and female classes were also separated.
Gu Taifu became the crown prince and taught the prince one specially, the other princes in the study taught the prince and the princes, Baili Yanqing and they were taught by a new Li Taifu, and the etiquette classes were still taught by female officials.
The Great Xia Kingdom has higher requirements for women, three from the four virtues is a must, the four books of women, the female ring, the female virtue, etc., Baili Yanqing is very annoying to learn, but she can't show it.
Therefore, Baili Yanqing is good in martial arts, horseback riding, archery etiquette and rules, but in terms of books, her grades are mediocre.
However, Emperor Xia Hui was very satisfied with this, and Baili Yanqing was relieved when she saw Emperor Xia Hui's reward for her to continue to work hard. Others thought that Emperor Xia Hui was encouraging her to move up, but she could understand that Emperor Xia Hui was satisfied with her mediocrity, in order to show Emperor Xia Hui's intentions, Baili Yanqing was mediocre except for horseback archery, martial arts and calligraphy, not high or low, but it would not be too embarrassing.
The days in the palace passed peacefully, and there was envy, jealousy, and hatred, as if nothing had happened.
The concubines are in the harem, and their hands can't reach out to the study, Emperor Xia Hui is suspicious by nature, and he is most jealous of the concubines interfering in politics, and he is very tight about the study and the government.
And Baili Yanqing also knew that Emperor Xia Huidi's eyeliner was very much, of course, there were other eyeliners, but because Baili Yanqing's five senses cultivation had improved a lot, she avoided a lot of calculations.
At the end of the year, Yao Meiren gave birth to ten princes to Emperor Xia Hui as she wished, because Concubine Mei and Tang Concubine were both sons, and the two sons who died at that time were annoyed, so the two sons who died were ranked, namely the eighth prince and the ninth prince, and when they arrived at Yao Meiren, they were the ten princes.
Emperor Xia Hui was overjoyed, promoted to two levels of Yao Beauty, and surpassed the nobles to become Yao Liangyuan from the fifth grade.
Yao Meiren is from Queen Shen's side, and Empress Dowager Cui is dissatisfied, so she proposed to raise the positions of Yi Concubine and Rong Concubine to one liter, after all, they have been in the palace for many years, and these two people are young, and Emperor Xia Hui also likes them, so they also agreed.
Rong Concubine Wei Chi's promotion to Wanyi, the first of the four grades, and Yi Concubine's Baili's promotion to the promotion of the four grades of Fangyi, are all above the Yao Beauty, if it weren't for the eldest princess's divine stroke, the Yao Beauty might have climbed higher.
Another point is that Concubine Yao is not qualified to raise the prince, if it is a princess, the concubine can be raised by herself, but if the prince is a prince, she can only be raised from the concubine position above the fourth grade.
This time, Rong Wanyi and Yi Fangyi are just qualified to raise the prince, but in addition to the princesses of the four countries, Cui Guifei and Concubine Ping are empty under their knees.
In fact, if the superior takes a fancy to your child, as long as the emperor agrees, as long as you are not the queen, your child may be raised by others.
However, even if it is a child born to the queen, if Emperor Xia Hui agrees, the queen mother can fight, and it can also be raised by the queen mother's side. Now Yao Liangyuan can't raise her own children, Cui Guifei and Concubine Ping have their own fight, Cui Guifei has the support of the Queen Mother, but Concubine Ping's Ye family is now also relying on Queen Shen, so fighting for a son is a must.
At the beginning, Concubine Li also gave birth to the sixth son of the emperor, and the concubines also competed, but in the end, Emperor Xia Hui let people hug them to the palace of the queen mother. The queen mother did not fight to raise this imperial grandson, after all, the background of the biological mother was too low, but Emperor Xia Hui's move also broke the idea of the queen mother.
The mother is more precious than the son, the son is more precious than the mother, and it is naturally noble to raise it by the side of the queen mother, but the six princes are still recorded in the name of the concubine Li, and they do not belong to anyone. Moreover, the queen mother has the pride of the family, and the queen mother, who boasts of noble blood, despises the origin of the noble concubine in her bones, and naturally looks down on the six princes.
What's more, in the Great Xia Kingdom, the status of the dancing girl is lower than that of the slave.
Yi Jieyu was also moved by this child, but at this time she shrank her head, she didn't dare to offend the two gods in the palace at all.
The contradiction between Empress Dowager Cui and Empress Shen has been going on for a long time, and at this time, the two sides are not giving an inch for the dispute between the ten princes. (To be continued......)
