Chapter 20: Princess Rong'an's Thoughts

Concubine Ligui and Princess Rong'an live in Yonghe Palace in the East Sixth Palace. Yonghe Palace is diagonally opposite the Queen Mother's Zhongcui Palace. This is a special arrangement of the Queen Mother, which is intended to live closer to each other and make it more convenient to take care of their mother and daughter.

The news in the palace went the fastest, and not long after the ceremony on the side of the Longzong Gate ended, there was a scene of incense, and the news of Guan Beile Jinxuan County King reached Yonghe Palace.

At this time, lunch had just begun.

Concubine Ligui's face exuded a strange look.

Princess Rong'an looked over from the side, her mother's jade-like face exuded a faint glow, from the forehead to the chin, the soft face line faintly became transparent.

She couldn't help but look stupid: E-Niang is really handsome!

A thought popped up in my heart: than the one in Changchun Palace, he is more handsome!

Since Huang Amalong drove the guests, for several years, Eniang's face could not see such a radiant expression.

Concubine Ligui turned her head with a smile on her face: "Why are you in a daze?" ”

“…… Eniang, you are so good-looking! ”

The smile on Concubine Ligui's face became even stronger, and she looked at her daughter carefully: "My Liniu is only good-looking-alas, some people are so blessed!" ”

Princess Rong'an's little face turned red as soon as she "brushed". She lowered her head, took a small bite of her meal, and said nothing.

She knew who E-Niang's "some people" were referring to, and she also knew why E-niang was so happy.

"Some people" have been promoted to the king of the county, and it is time to get married. Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been a prince. Twenty-six years old. Those who have not yet married Fujin.

Her heart was pounding.

A few months ago. She knew that the Empress Dowager - the Queen Mother - wanted to point herself out to the one named Guan Zhuofan. Huang Eniang came to Yonghe Palace several times and talked secretly with Eniang and the two of them - even she had to avoid it from afar, and it should be this matter to discuss.

I named Princess Heshuo early, and it seems to have something to do with this.

Of course, the emperor is also a mother, or a mother. I wouldn't tell her about it directly. However, how can this kind of thing, in a place like the palace, really hide it? Others don't say it, but her personal maid Cui'er alone has brought countless gossip to her.

In the palace, Guan Zhuofan's image, especially from the mouth of the palace maid and eunuch, is simply not a person, but a three-headed and six-armed fairy: playing long hair. Twist, knock back. Fight Westerners, fight Easterners, fight all over the world, there is no place where he can't fight. It seems that the entire Qing Dynasty relied on him to draw!

He is so capable of fighting, is it the kind of description that leopard eyes are ringed, bearded like a halberd, and a mouth that makes your ears buzz?

No.

In the palace, there are not a few people who have seen Guan Zhuofan, everyone said that Guan Beile is tall, very handsome, looks very gentle, and speaks very kindly, it looks like a Hanlin Xianggong, if you don't know, you can't imagine that he is a general with thousands of horses and thousands of troops, beheading and bleeding!

Also, take Cui'er's words: "Guan Beile is in charge of the army on the horse, and he is in charge of the people on the horse, and he is very knowledgeable!" I heard that his knowledge, even the Wuzhongtang and Master Wen are admired! ”

Yes, how can you be the emperor's master if you don't have much knowledge?

"Also, Guan Beile can speak foreign languages! That American general, who met our queen mother, was the class led by Guan Beile, and made the translation! Grunt, ouch, slippery! ”

Cui'er praised it: "I haven't heard that Guan Beile has entered school, where did he get such a big knowledge?" It's amazing...... Hey, it's really 'the capable can do anything'! ”

Princess Rong'an's heart fluttered when she listened: Isn't this an authentic "Confucian general"?

Every young girl will have endless imagination about her future husband, and she is no exception to princesses. However, for the princess, this imagination space is actually very limited.

The forehead of the Qing Dynasty, with high status and great ability, is rare, and most of the "lords" are middle-level sons of the lords. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, everyone knew what kind of goods the children of this level were: a group of authentic gentlemen, walking chickens and dogs, eating, drinking, gambling, smoking, from head to toe, full of vices, serious but not at all, married in the past, what good life can you have?

The married life of the princesses of the Qing Dynasty was mostly unsatisfactory. On the one hand, it is due to the constraints of strict, impersonal royal norms; On the other hand, it is also because their husbands are really few competitive.

Most of the princesses and Gege of the Qing Dynasty lived a long life, which had a lot to do with their unhappy marriages.

A husband like Guan Zhuofan, a rare Cheng dù, can no longer be called "one in a million", nor can it be called "can't be found with a lantern", it is simply the only one in the world! If you marry in the past, how can you just "rely on you for life"? It's really a lifetime to wake up with a smile every morning!

The little girl's heart, from the first day the news came out, was raised high.

The only problem with this Guan Zhuofan is that his aunt is a little too much.

However, take Concubine Ligui's words: "He is a young and strong man, and he has made such a great contribution, is it not a natural thing to accept a few women and put them in the room?" ”

This was not said directly to her daughter, but in front of her daughter, Princess Rong'an knew: E-Niang's words were actually said to her.

Hearing the words "young and strong", the little girl's face turned red inexplicably. However, she could hear the point of Eniang's words: Don't be jealous.

Concubine Ligui is actually too worried. In this kind of thing, the daughter is actually with her, although she is young, she puts it in her heart and sees it in her eyes, which is a typical type of "not jealous".

After "he" returned to Luan Beijing from Tianjin to the Queen Mother of God, the matter of marriage was decided after a round of discussion between the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces.

Concubine Ligui's face has become radiant again since then.

However, Princess Rong'an's heart that she had just let go of was raised again: Why, married together, and the sixth uncle's Dunniuer?

She is not jealous, and she understands that this is a last resort arrangement: "the west" wants to marry Dun Niuer to Guan Zhuofan, and the "east" wants to marry Li Niuer to Guan Zhuofan.

To put it mildly—this is Cui'er's words—it is called: "If you knock over the dog food bowl, you can't eat it." ”

She is worried, the two are Fujin, raise their heads, and meet late, how to deal with this relationship?

However, this concern was quickly dispelled.

E-Niang said, your emperor E-niang said, after getting married, they will live separately, that is, you and Dun Niu'er will have a princess's mansion for one person. He is his own, and naturally he has his own county king's mansion. Also, there is no old man above him, you two daughters-in-law, you don't need to support your in-laws, it's not a big day for the New Year's holidays, and the opportunities to meet each other are limited.

It is not uncommon for a man to marry two wives, and the situation of "Shang Lord" is of course special, but the Ministry of Rites will draw up corresponding etiquette regulations, so you don't need to worry too much.

Although the princess and the concubine do not live together, Princess Rong'an and Concubine Ligui implied to each other: The Internal Affairs Office will never dare to use those strange rules to restrain Guan Zhuofan, and if you marry him, you must live a normal married life.

This is one of the most attractive places to marry him.

It seems that there could be no better arrangement than this.

"Can't have"?

I can't think of it, I can't expect it, but there is!

The queen mother said to Concubine Ligui, Liniuer is out of the pavilion, although I am reluctant to let you go, but--you can go with Liniuer, no longer have to guard the empty house in the palace!

Eniang's tears immediately flowed, and she immediately knelt down, crying while thanking the emperor, which provoked the emperor's mother to cry with her.

Princess Rong'an is looking forward to the day when she will leave the cabinet day by day.

However, this day is uncertain, and even the queen mother and queen mother can't say it well, saying that it depends on the meaning of "him" -- "he" pays attention to Western learning, thinking that women's round houses should not be too young, otherwise it will not be conducive to childbirth.

What "round house" and "production", Princess Rong'an was red-faced when she heard it. However, the little girl was not convinced: I am fourteen years old, how can I still be called "young"?

If you wait like this, at what age can you be considered "not young"?

suffered so much from gains and losses, and finally waited for the news of "him" being crowned king.

Now it's okay, after being crowned king, there is no reason not to marry Fujin!
