Chapter 453: Princess Jiujiang's Family Affairs
Princess Jiujiang is only fifteen years old this year. Qin Mo'er is much older than her, and she has lived in the palace, so Princess Jiujiang calls her "sister".
In fact, Princess Jiujiang didn't have much contact with Qin Mo'er before, and the two of them could only be said to know each other. Princess Jiujiang said that Qin Mo'er took care of her a lot when she was in the palace, but this was a polite word.
It is precisely because Qin Mo'er is not familiar with Princess Jiujiang that Qin Mo'er is a little confused about Princess Jiujiang's sudden visit.
After entering the living room, Qin Mo'er and Princess Jiujiang sat down separately, and the two gossiped for a while. Qin Mo'er couldn't bear it, so she took the initiative to ask Princess Jiujiang: "The princess is here, but what is the matter with looking for a concubine?"
"Sister Mo'er is too careful, I will be a neighbor with my sister in the future, so I came to say hello to my sister." Princess Jiujiang said with a smile.
"What, is the princess going to move out of the Taiji Palace," Qin Mo'er asked in surprise.
Princess Jiujiang nodded and said, "Second brother ordered someone to build a mansion for me in Huaide Fang, and at the most, at the end of the year, I will leave the palace to live separately." ”
"Could it be that the princess is going to get married" Qin Mo'er was even more surprised.
Underage princesses all live in the palace, and only before they get married will they open a mansion outside the palace.
Princess Jiujiang's face darkened, and she said: "Two years ago, my father wanted to let me be, and I cheekily begged my second sister-in-law to say something for me, and my father dragged it out until now." But I'm fifteen years old this year, and if I don't marry this year, I will violate the imperial decree. My father asked my second brother to build a mansion for me, and I was a husband-in-law. ”
Qin Mo'er's gossip heart came up suddenly, and she hurriedly asked, "I don't know who Your Majesty wants to marry the princess?"
Princess Jiujiang hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "Second brother wants me to marry the eldest grandson Jiaqing." ”
"Is the eldest grandson Jiaqing the youngest son of Sun Shunde, the eldest prince of Xue Guo?" asked Qin Mo'er.
"Well, that's him."
Qin Mo'er suddenly felt that something was wrong. The woman is about to get married, and when she is asked about her husband, she should be blushing shyly, why does Princess Jiujiang seem to be in a lawsuit, she doesn't seem to be happy with this family business
"Sister, I really envy you, you can not get married until you are in your twenties." Princess Jiujiang said suddenly.
Qin Mo'er was embarrassed and said, "I have nothing to envy, I'm old." ”
"My sister is not old at all." Princess Jiujiang smiled. But then, she sighed again: "At least, my sister married the person she liked." Unlike our royal women, we can't do our own marriage. ”
"What, isn't the princess dissatisfied with this family business" Qin Mo'er hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
Princess Jiujiang said: "The eldest grandson Shunde was dismissed from office before. Although the second brother reinstated him last year and restored his official title and food, he had committed crimes after all and had a bad reputation. Besides, I've also heard people say that the eldest grandson Jiaqing is just a gentleman who doesn't do anything serious all day long. ”
The eldest grandson, Shunde, is the uncle of the eldest grandson empress. He was also the first person to follow Li Yuan. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan made him the Duke of Xue Guo and worshiped him as the general of Zuo Xiaowei. In the ninth year of Wude, the eldest grandson Shunde participated in the Xuanwumen Change, and together with Qin Qiong, he fought against Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's remaining party, and made great contributions. Li Shimin increased his food to 1,200 households. It is second only to Pei Lin and the eldest grandson Wuji's 1,300 households.
However, the eldest grandson Shunde is an unstable person. As soon as he made a meritorious service, he made a mistake again. In the first month of the first year of Zhenguan, a slave stole the treasures in the palace and was discovered by the eldest grandson Shunde. Supposedly, he should arrest these slaves immediately, but he accepted the bribes of these slaves, turned a blind eye, and suppressed the matter.
Later, Li Shimin's method of dealing with the eldest grandson Shunde was peculiar, and he gave the eldest grandson Shunde dozens of silk silks in front of the ministers in the main hall.
Afterwards, Hu Yan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, proposed to Li Shimin: "The eldest grandson Shunde is corrupt and perverts the law, and the crime is unforgivable, not only does His Majesty not treat his crimes, how can he give him silk" Li Shimin replied: "The eldest grandson Shunde has made great contributions to the country, and I really can't bear to condemn him." Everyone is ashamed, and giving him this silk is better than punishment. If he is still not ashamed, then he is no different from a beast, and it is useless to kill him. ”
In December of the first year of Zhenguan, Li Xiaochang, the governor of Lizhou, rebelled, and the eldest grandson Shunde was implicated and dismissed because of his close contacts with Li Xiaochang. In the second year of Zhenguan, Li Shimin had nothing to do one day, looking at the portrait of the founding hero, when he saw the portrait of the eldest grandson Shunde, he felt pity for a while, and issued an order to restore the title and food of the eldest grandson Shunde, and worship him as the assassin of Zezhou.
Li Shimin wants to marry his eighth sister Princess Jiujiang to the son of the eldest grandson Shunde, but he may not have the intention of appeasing the eldest grandson Shunde. Speaking of which, this is also a kiss between the royal family and the eldest grandson's family. Moreover, Princess Jiujiang and the eldest grandson Jiaqing are also of the same generation, which is ethical.
But Princess Jiujiang was not satisfied with this family business. As for whether it is like what she said, because because of the mistakes made by the eldest grandson Shunde in the past, the eldest grandson Jiaqing is a gentleman again, it is unknown.
Qin Mo'er listened to Princess Jiujiang's words and didn't know what to say. Royal affairs, she is really not good to comment on.
After being silent for a while, Qin Mo'er asked Princess Jiujiang again: "Then this family affair, have you ever ordered it?"
Princess Jiujiang said: "That's not yet. The second brother and my father just told me about it. When I was asked to choose where to build my house, I chose Huaide Fang. The eldest grandson's family already knew about it. Just waiting for the completion of the princess's mansion, the second brother will officially decree the marriage. ”
"So what is the princess's plan?"
Qin Mo'er regretted it when she asked this sentence. Princess Jiujiang came to the house, and it was definitely not as simple as visiting the house. When she talked about this family matter, she definitely didn't just complain. Maybe they just want to ask me for an idea to refuse marriage. Why did I rush to ask her?
Sure enough, Princess Jiujiang suddenly smiled weirdly. "Sister Mo'er used to follow my third sister for many years, and my father and second brother often said that my sister didn't look like the third sister, and the rest of her words and deeds were very similar. My third sister is an assertive person, and I think Sister Mo'er is also very assertive, if Sister Mo'er encounters something like me, what will she do?"
"I" Qin Mo'er was dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, she sighed: "I'm not a royal person after all, and I don't have any ideas about this kind of thing." Everything has to be planned by the princess herself. ”
Hearing Qin Mo'er's words, Princess Jiujiang nodded and said, "I'm just talking casually." Ordinary folk women's family affairs, they can't do it themselves, let alone royal women. ”
After a pause, Princess Jiujiang suddenly said with a firm face: "However, when it is time to fight, I still have to fight." I can't lead troops to fight like the third sister, but I can't accept everything either. I want to be like the third sister and Sister Mo'er, and do things like those men. ”
"Princess, when did I behave like a man" Qin Mo'er had a black line on her forehead. Well, she's been said to be a woman.
"Well, I mean, my sister is decisive." Princess Jiujiang hurriedly explained, "When you married Brother Zhao, weren't you the master of your own affairs?"
