Chapter 206: Happy to see it happen
Song Renzong's heirs were difficult, the three sons died early, and only four of the thirteen daughters grew up Chengren, and the eldest princess of Chu in front of him was one of them.
The Northern Song Dynasty canonized princesses had the tradition of being crowned with a good name at the beginning, and then sealed by the country. Therefore, when the Zhaojie concubine Miao gave birth to her eldest daughter, Emperor Renzong, who was nearly thirty years old but had no children, was very happy and regarded this daughter as the pearl of his palm, which can be said to be a thousand favors.
The princess's original title was set as "Fukang", which contained many blessings and love from Emperor Renzong.
In the second year of Jiayou, Renzong held a grand canonization ceremony for the 20-year-old Princess Fukang, and named Princess Fukang as the princess of Yanguo.
But the princess's marriage is not happy, and the matter has to talk about the legendary tanuki changing the prince.
Emperor Renzong's biological mother was Concubine Li Chen, but as soon as she was born, she was taken to Empress Liu to raise as her own son, and Renzong had no idea about it.
It wasn't until the second year of Ming Dao that Empress Dowager Zhang Xian Liu died, and Song Renzong knew that his biological mother was Concubine Li Chen. The emperor felt ashamed of his biological mother, who had long since died, so he treated his uncle's family very well. In addition to repeatedly promoting his uncle Li Yong's official position, he also married his most beloved baby daughter, Princess Yanguo, to his son Li Wei, and held a grand wedding.
This is also the beginning of the tragedy, the reason is that the door is not right, the door is wrong. The tradition of the Song Dynasty was that the princess married the descendants of Jiangmen, and the children of the royal family took Jiangmen women. In addition to using marriage to attract military generals, it is also a kind of performance of the right match.
In the 100 years since the founding of the country, the military generals have been aristocrats who are not worthy of the name, and their status, cultivation, and living habits can be in line with the royal family. But the Li family is different, although it is the queen mother's family, but Renzong's biological mother, the Empress Dowager Li, was originally just a maid of Empress Liu, which shows that her background is not high.
What's more, before the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian's death, the Li family did not enjoy the treatment of the uncle of the country, and now although he is promoted by Emperor Renzong, he is only an upstart at best, and he is far from the life of the nobles.
After marriage, the life of the princess and the concubine was incompatible with the surname Gedu. In order to be worthy of the princess, Li Wei practiced flying white body, and spent a lot of money to buy calligraphy, painting and antiques, and was eager to get rid of the ignorant and rude habits, but it made the nouveau riche face more clearly shown to the world.
The eyes are above the top, and the noble-born princess looks down on Li Wei even more, and even thinks that he is dirty and disgusted. The princess's marriage was unhappy, so her feelings and psychology began to change subtly, and then she had an affair.
It's just that the identity of this affair is more special, and he is an internal servant who was married from the palace - Liang Huaiji, and a shocking and unruly love happened.
One night in February of the sixth year of Jiayou, the princess and Liang Huaiji were drinking together, and Li Wei's mother was a foolish woman in the market, and she quietly peeked in another room regardless of her identity. Later, I felt that the princess was out of character, and I quarreled with her mother-in-law, and the princess of the golden branches and jade leaves was willing to show weakness, and there was a fierce quarrel between them.
The princess then ran back to her mother's house, called open the forbidden door in the middle of the night, cried to her father, and asked to be separated from the concubine.
You must know that the regulations of the Song Dynasty are very strict, and after the door of the night palace is locked, it must not be opened easily. Prior to this, there was only one case in the Song Dynasty where the palace gate was open at night.
It was on that night that Song Taizu died, leaving behind the legend of the candle shadow shaking red. It was on that night that Song Taizu lost his throne.
The opening of the palace gate at night is a very sensitive matter in the Song Dynasty, after the princess of Yanguo returned to the palace at night, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were unwilling, and various impeachments continued, and the officials guarding the door were punished, and the reputation of the princess was also greatly affected.
Later, rumors about the princess's private life also spread, and in desperation, Emperor Renzong could only endure the pain of taking away the title of his children, but he still lived in the palace. Liang Huaiji was also demoted from Bianjing, and his concubine Li Wei was also demoted.
The princess wanted to commit suicide many times because of this incident, and called Liang Huaiji all the time, and Emperor Renzong had to recall Liang Huaiji to accompany his daughter.
Later, Li Wei and the princess broke off the marriage contract, and Princess Fukang has been living in the palace for a long time. This is also why the chamberlain is in a hurry to emphasize the identity of the eldest princess, not that the dog is fighting and putting on a show, but what he is afraid of is that the word "madam" will evoke the princess's sad past.
After Yingzong ascended the throne, she was promoted to the eldest princess of the Yue Kingdom, and now her nephew Zhao Ji is on the throne, and she is named the eldest princess of the Chu Kingdom.
The identity is noble, but the princess has always been depressed, her body is getting weaker and weaker, and she is riddled with diseases all year round. Today, the Jinmingchi Garden Party, the Queen Mother Gao Tao took her sister who lived alone out to relax.
After coming to Jinming Pond, the eldest princess remembered the scene of visiting this place with Liang Huaiji many years ago, and she was touched by the scene. Therefore, he avoided the attendants and walked to the lake alone to reminisce about the good old days. However, because his body was too weak to support it, he fainted and fell to the ground and was rescued by Lin Zhao and Chai Minyan.
"Your Royal Highness, are you alright? Do I need to pass on the imperial doctor? The chamberlain was very nervous, because the Empress Dowager had told her to take care of the princess, and if something went wrong, I really didn't know how to explain it.
The eldest princess waved her hand and said, "It's okay, there's no need, as soon as this girl made a move, she quickly woke me up!" ”
"Oh?" The chamberlain was amazed: "This girl's medical skills are so good? is even smarter than the imperial doctor in the palace, and it sometimes takes half an hour for the princess to wake up! ”
Chai Minyan's expression suddenly froze, so the eldest princess often fainted, and her condition was already very serious, if she didn't treat it in time, it was really possible......
"Your Royal Highness, eldest princess, your physical condition ...... It needs to be treated well! Chai Minyan hesitated for a moment and whispered comfort.
The eldest princess smiled lightly: "I know my own body, birth, old age, sickness and death are all providential, it's okay!" ”
This princess seems to be very open-minded, but in fact it also reveals a kind of negativity and a very pessimistic mentality. After Lin Zhao heard this, he comforted: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, there are many things in life that we are worthy of nostalgia and care, sometimes we live not only for ourselves, but also for the people around us, relatives, friends, you care or care about your ......"
The eldest princess is pessimistic, largely because of Liang Huaiji, a deformed love affair has been fermenting in her heart for too long and occupies a very important position.
Unintentionally, Lin Zhao's words were like a slap in the face, and in addition to this relationship, there are many people and things in his life. She suddenly remembered how much pressure her father had been under because of her surname and persistence. My mother washed her face with tears all night, worrying about herself.
But all this time, I have been immersed in sadness and depression, and I have never noticed it. Now that I think about it, I really feel a little too ignorant. Is there no chance for my father to be filial, or is his mother-in-law and biological mother still there, they are already old, so they should be relieved and honor them!
But this body ...... Alas! The eldest princess sighed softly inexplicably!
Chai Min said: "The princess doesn't have to be sad, as long as you are careful, your body can completely recover!" ”
"Really?" The eldest princess replied softly, as if it was just a word of comfort, and did not go to her heart. Maybe she's still as lost as before, broken jars? Maybe she knows too much about her physical condition.
"Yes, but first the princess needs to relax herself!" Chai Minyan said very solemnly, the doctor's parents, she didn't dare to be sloppy about this.
The eldest princess nodded lightly and said, "Okay, thank you for today, what do you call it, you should express your gratitude!" ”
"It's just a gesture, the princess doesn't have to care, I'll retire first!" Everyone knew that the eldest princess's thanks must be worth a lot, but Lin Zhao and the others still left in the spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name.
However, the chamberlain seemed to be more attentive, and immediately sent someone to follow quietly! Then he said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, let's go back, otherwise the Queen Mother should really be in a hurry." ”
"Okay, let's go back!" In the evening breeze, the weak eldest princess and the palace maid supported her, and walked slowly with difficulty.
Looking back from time to time, the girl just now was really kind, and she was also beautiful. As for the young man, the eldest princess always felt a little familiar, but where she had seen it, she really couldn't remember it for a while. Maybe it's because I've been living in my own world all these years and forgetting to pay attention to the people and things around me!
Hearing that the eldest princess of Chu returned safely, the Empress Dowager Gao was relieved. Because after Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, he wantonly rewarded his daughter, but snubbed the daughter of Renzong, so that the Empress Dowager Cao was dissatisfied, and they also had a disagreement with each other because of this matter.
Gao Tao learned a lesson, and since then he has paid special attention to it, and he will take his sister out for a walk today, but he doesn't want such a thing to happen because of the negligence of the chamberlains and palace maids.
Fortunately, it's okay, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to the two ancestors after I go back! Gao Taotao couldn't help but sigh lightly, although she was the queen mother of the world, there was an old lady with a special relationship above her head, who had a lot of constraints, and there were a lot of troubles in peacetime.
In addition to honoring his mother-in-law, he also has to take care of his sister, and now the marriage of a pair of children is in front of him again, when will it stop!
Later, the members of the royal family returned to the city under the escort of the forbidden army, and the eldest princess of Chu was sent to Qingshou Palace. Now she and her mother, the former Zhaojie Guifei, live here with contempt, and they can be regarded as accompanying the Empress Dowager Cao, so they are not so lonely and lonely with each other.
When the two ancestors heard that the woman had fainted in Jinmingchi, they were very nervous, and even at night, they kept waiting for the lamp.
After seeing her daughter come back safely, she was a little relieved, and Miao said: "Don't mess around in the future, you will be scared to death!" ”
The eldest princess suddenly remembered Lin Zhao's words, her heart moved, and she couldn't help but feel a little apologetic. is already in his thirties, and it is really unfilial to worry his mother. This apology is even stronger when I think about my previous experience.
Cao Shi also said: "Fukang, it's better to stay in the palace and take care of your body, now that you are tired, let's go back and rest!" ”
"Yes!"
After the eldest princess left, the Cao family couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that Fukang's condition is serious again......"
As soon as she said this, her biological mother Miao immediately couldn't help but burst into tears, and her daughter's situation was really worrying. She only has such a daughter, who is regarded as a treasure, if there is something that is long and short, how should she bear it?
Miao said: "Isn't there any way for the imperial doctor?" ”
"The Imperial Doctor is doing his best, but the effect may not be obvious...... Especially Fukang's own state of mind...... "Cao's is also helpless, and at the same time, his eyes are full of worry. She has no heirs, and she has already regarded Princess Fukang as the pearl of her palm, how can she see her suffering?
The imperial doctor is trying his best, and the Miao family who said this instantly lost his confidence, and the only proud daughter is going to leave him like this?
Thinking of this, the two old men were extremely sad, as if they saw a splendid spring flower gradually withering, withering, and eventually disappearing in the autumn wind.
At this time, the attendant next to him played a role and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, the princess's condition may not be incurable, there are still solutions......
"Oh?" The two old men suddenly stared at the waiter with some excitement and some joy, and asked, "You say there is a way?" ”
The chamberlain replied: "Today, by the Jinming Pool, after the princess fainted, a girl made a move and woke up the princess in an instant. ”
"Oh? Is it? The two ancestors also knew some of the situation, and they were a little excited when they heard it.
The chamberlain said excitedly: "Not only that, the most important thing is that the girl said that the princess's condition can be cured." ”
"What is that woman? Verified no? Don't you dare to be a liar! Cao hurriedly asked......
The chamberlain couldn't help muttering, could it be that someone dared to go to the palace to cheat?
Still silent, he immediately replied: "At that time, those people were about to leave without leaving their names after saving the princess, thanks to the slave maid who kept two hearts, and their identities have been found!" ”
"Who is it?" Cao hurriedly asked, as long as she knew the identity of the other party, there was no one she couldn't invite!
The chamberlain replied: "It's Chongyigong's niece Chai Minyan, and there is a young man who seems to be Lin Zhao, a man from Qiantang County!" ”
Chai Minyan? Lin Zhao? The Miao family may not be familiar with it, but the Empress Dowager Cao understands it. Isn't Chai Minyan the first beauty in Bianjing, she still appeared on her birthday, and she seems to appreciate him. As for Lin Zhao, isn't he the young official who killed the father and son of Zhao Zongyong, the king of Yuhang County?
What a coincidence! But no matter what, as long as the princess is saved and the princess's illness can be cured, the ancestors are happy to see it. (To be continued.) )
