Chapter 50: The Empress is Virtuous
"The Dragon Boat Festival banquet is not just to choose concubines for the princes."
"Huh?" Tang Yanning was surprised, "Don't you all say that?" So what's it for? ”
Yan Lin raised his head and glanced at Tang Yanning, and said lightly, "Empress Xue intends to enrich the harem for the saints. ”
Tang Yan was dumbfounded.
She knows that in this era, the first requirement for women is the word "virtue". This virtue requires women to be virtuous, to be generous, and to be able to take the initiative to plan for their husbands.
However, by her side, she has never seen such a virtuous woman. Tang Guogong has all the aunts around him, and there is a cousin whose concubine is unknown, but none of these women are prepared by the Lin family for Tang Guogong. The Lin family just doesn't care about Tang Guogong.
There are also a lot of women in Master Tang San, but the third wife's temperament is not to mention the word "virtuous", and from time to time she makes trouble with Master Tang San because of this.
Tang Yanning really didn't expect that she would be the queen and do such a virtuous thing for her husband, and she didn't know if the queen was really so generous in her heart.
"Doesn't Empress Xue have a prince and a princess?" It is said that this queen of the middle palace, with a son and a daughter, should be very hard, can you use this method to win the fame or the emperor's favor?
The corners of Yan Lone's mouth were slightly hooked, and his expression was full of sneer, "Before the emperor ascended the throne, Empress Xue was just a side concubine in the palace. After the death of Empress Xiaochun, she was righted by the side room. Therefore, although the eldest prince is the elder, the crown prince is the second prince of Empress Xiaochun. ”
"What's the benefit of having more wives?" Tang Yanning sighed, "The emperor is still here, and the sons are about to compete for black-eyed chickens." ”
Although she only wore it in a book, and Dayan didn't know where the dynasty was, if she wanted to fight in the royal family, there would be no shortage of blood. Ready-made example, Kowloon seizes the throne.
"Say what?" Yan Yan was also helpless to Tang Yanning's mouth, so he had to knock on her head with chopsticks, "Don't die?" ”
Dare to criticize the royal family.
"I'm just telling you, can you still expose me for this?" Tang Yanning covered her head and glanced at Yan Lin complainingly, "Don't forget, I'm your savior!" According to the plot in the book, you have to treat me with a body, a look, and a promise! ”
As soon as the four words of body promise came out, Yan Lonely's face, even with his neck and ears, instantly turned red.
Tang Yanning pointed at him and laughed, "I'm ashamed." ”
In terms of age, Yan Lin is a few years older than Tang Yanning. But his biological mother has lived in a remote courtyard in Yuwang's Mansion since he was a child, and only two old servants serve him. After the death of his biological mother, the chief steward of the house saw that King Yu did not attach much importance to this concubine, and the princess did not have a lot of money, so the chief housekeeper did not send another person to take care of him. After another two years, Yan Lin left the army to fight.
has lived to such an age, and Yan Lonely's contact with the girl in the boudoir can be said to be very rare.
When he was born, he met Tang Yanning, a strange flower, whose temperament was different from that of ordinary ladies, and he often had bold words to say. Didn't you even tease him?
Yan Xiao became more and more embarrassed, and his hand that was used to holding a gun and knife didn't know where to put it for a while, so he had to grab the wine jug, pretend to pour wine, and his slightly trembling hands spilled the wine on the table.
Tang Yanning smiled more and more heartily.
"Okay, I'm joking with you, don't you dare to let the prince Chitose make a promise."
She patted Yan Lonely's shoulder, "Don't worry. Tell me about it, is there anything else I don't know about the Dragon Boat Festival? ”
Yan Silence shook his head.
"Among the princes, the crown prince has the best stroke in the court. He was taken by the emperor since he was a child, personally raised, listened to the government with the court at the age of ten, and began to enter the six reincarnations at the age of fifteen. In addition, Empress Xiaochun was born in a family of military generals, and among the generals, the prince also has a lot of supporters. The Emperor ......"
"The eldest prince is from the current Empress Xue, and he is one year older than the prince. Compared with the crown prince, the eldest prince is more martial. Empress Xue has been operating in the palace for more than ten years, and the grandfather and uncle of the eldest prince are also officials in the court. However, most of these people are civil servants, and Empress Xue really wants to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival banquet to choose a princess who has a close relationship with the army for the eldest prince. ”
"As for the rest of the princes, the maternal family is not obvious, and the biological mother is either deceased or has a low position. Even if you have the heart, you don't have the strength to compete with the crown prince right now. Marrying a competent wife and adding a powerful wife is also what they are anxious to want. ”
Pouting, Tang Yan held her chin, "This Dragon Boat Festival banquet is to choose a daughter-in-law for the emperor's princes." ”
What kind of emperor's grace is vast, and the likes of rejoicing with ministers are just a fig leaf. It was also a shame for Tang Guogong to stare at it like bee.
Yan Lin felt that the little girl in front of her didn't seem to be from this world. What to choose a daughter-in-law?
"The selection of the crown princess has always needed to be cautious, and the crown princess is even more so." The marriage of the common people is unfortunate, and there is still a way out of peace, how can the husband and wife of the royal family be like this? I also want to set an example for the people of the world. "It is very unlikely that the princess will be directly selected from the Dragon Boat Banquet."
"None of them?" Tang Yanning felt more and more interesting.
Yan Shi shook his head, "Don't choose one." The ordinary people are relatives in the family, and they still have to inquire about the other party's family background and temperament, not to mention the princess? Not to mention the crown princess? Which lady is worthy of the prince, I guess the emperor has already known in his heart. At the Dragon Boat Banquet, it was just to see the girl's appearance and demeanor, and to act and talk. ”
Tang Yanning nodded. That's right, even if it runs to a book, the princes' family affairs are not so casual, because a banquet can be decided.
"It's the emperor......"
For some reason, Tang Yanning felt that when Yan Lin mentioned the emperor, the look in his eyes was inexplicably complicated.
I only heard him continue, "The most favored in the palace is the precious concubine, and she is also the highest-ranking concubine except for Empress Xue. If it weren't for the fact that there was only one princess under her knees......"
He didn't go on. The emperor favored the precious concubine, and someone once said privately that the emperor even wanted to crown the precious concubine as the imperial concubine, but the precious concubine politely resigned. If the precious concubine has a son, Queen Xue's status will be lost sooner or later.
"In recent years, the princes have grown older, and in order to consolidate their favor, Empress Xue has offered a lot of beauties to the emperor, but she has not produced another precious concubine. So this time, she also hit the idea on the real girl. ”
Tang Yanning made a nausea motion.
"This queen is really, how old are the girls who participated in the Dragon Boat Banquet? It's almost the same to be the emperor's granddaughter. ”
She was deeply suspicious that the emperor had some kind of pedophilia.
