Chapter 396: Princess Zhaoye
"Poof...... Ahem......"
The conjecture of the shopkeeper and Xiao Er made the boss Gao who drank a sip of tea almost squirt out, his face turned red, and he coughed and said: "Who, who said that he entered the palace to be the master's mother."
"It's what you said, Ann and the princess are married, but the prince is the prince in our palace, if it weren't for him, then it could only be ......" Then it can only be the stepmother of the prince and the successor of the emperor.
"Oh, you two don't just look at the surface, this marriage is nothing more than to seek stable diplomatic relations between the two countries, mutual support and balance, and it doesn't say that it has to be related to the royal bloodline."
"What do you mean......" The shopkeeper thought about it and was still strange, since ancient times, there have been many examples of clan side marriages, but most of them are princesses of small countries, what kind of person is this An and princess, if it is just an ordinary prince, how can it match.
Seeing that these two people still didn't understand, Boss Gao simply reminded further: "In our Eastern Zhao Dynasty, who is there a family who, although not from the royal family, is better than the prince in terms of status and power?" ”
"I see! You're talking about the Zhenguo Mansion, the Su family! Xiao Er shouted, this Su family has been preparing for the emperor's grace for generations, and to some extent, it has surpassed the weight of ordinary palaces.
"Ouch little bunny, be quiet!" The shopkeeper patted Xiao Er's head, said angrily, turned his head and widened his eyes, and asked Boss Gao: "Is it really the little marquis of the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”
"Then can you still have a fake, do you know who I was drinking with last night?" Boss Gao raised his chin mysteriously: "The old housekeeper in the mansion of Lord Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of Rites, I got him the ancient jade chapter he asked me to play with last month, this is not a pleasure, I drink too much wine, and I talk more." ”
"If you drink and tell the truth, it must be true." The shopkeeper whispered.
"No, I heard the old housekeeper say that the emperor recently chose a day for the Ministry of Rites."
"Pick a day? That's too much of a rush, isn't it? Xiao Er was amazed.
"It's a day to canonize General Su."
"Oh, the little marquis is going to officially inherit the marquis!" The shopkeeper knows that although in Shangling City, in addition to calling Su Yan a general, many of them will also call him a little marquis, although his inheritance of the title is a tacit matter for everyone, but in the end it has not been canonized, and now it should be justified.
"I'm going to change my words in the future, it's not the little marquis, but the little grandpa!" Boss Gao set off another big wave.
"Little grandfather!" The shopkeeper sighed, "Although the last two generations of the Su family are all princes of the country, which can be regarded as hereditary replacement, but General Su is so young that he should inherit from the marquis, and this time the emperor directly sealed the position of the prince of the country...... This Su family is really amazing. ”
"General Su has made great achievements at a young age, and his exploits are much more dazzling than those of many veterans, plus his father Zhen Guogong died as a martyr and savior, and it is reasonable to be named the prince of the country, but this time he was knighted, presumably because he wanted to marry Xiqiong, so he was matched with the eldest princess of Xiqiong."
"I see...... shopkeeper and shopkeeper are in unison for the third time this morning, and after listening to so many secrets of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that they will have to digest it for a long time.
However, not only the three people in this porridge shop knew, but it was as if the news had been planted with wings, and the entire Shangling City had been spread.
On the streets, in the alleys, and at the dinner tables of every household, there are discussions: the East and West are marrying again, and Princess Anhe will marry the Su family in the Zhenguo Mansion.
In the days following the news spread, the threshold of the Zhenguo Mansion was almost broken.
When others come to the Guogong Mansion, no matter how high the status of the family is, it is normal, but after dinner on this day, the carriage that appeared in front of the Zhenguo Mansion made almost the whole house go out to greet each other.
I saw a woman in a thousand-year-old green dotted emerald phoenix jacket skirt, carried by two maidservants, slowly walking down from the carriage.
Mother Su led the eunuchs who came to visit and the rest of the people in the mansion to salute together, and said respectfully: "The Jiang family of the Su family in the Zhenguo Mansion, meet the eldest princess Zhaoye." ”
"The Duchess is polite."
"Eldest princess, how did you come to the Zhenguo Mansion, this is not to torture the courtiers." This eldest princess Zhaoye is the eldest sister of the first emperor, the aunt of the current emperor Dongling Xun, who was favored once and respected by the two dynasties, and has great weight in the front hall and harem, and even the queen mother has to give three points when she is alive. It's just that after the death of the eldest princess's concubine, she rarely left the princess's mansion, and the emperor also proposed to let her aunt live back in the palace, but the eldest princess politely refused, saying that she was used to being free outside the palace, and now she still wants to spend her old age in the princess's mansion.
"The double happiness in the Zhenguo Mansion is coming, and the palace is going to come to congratulate him in person." The eldest princess stepped forward with a smile, only to see that her hair was silver and white but her bun was meticulously combed, her face was thin but not widowed, the nobility between her eyebrows was natural, and her gestures exuded a heavenly demeanor, which made people can't help but admire.
Su Mu was blessed, and said humbly: "The eldest princess said that she laughed, these eight characters have not been touched yet, but everyone can afford our Zhenguo Mansion and spread it." ”
"It's just that others come to congratulate, there are always people who listen to the wind and rain, and join in the fun, but when is the news heard by this palace?" Princess Celestia smiled even deeper.
Indeed, many powerful officials in the past few days are just the same people, whether it is Su Yan's acceptance of the title of Duke of the Kingdom or Mu Yunyi's marriage into the Zhenguo Mansion, the emperor has not yet made it clear.
Mother Su accompanied Princess Zhaoye to the flower hall, and the officials and ladies behind her would not let go of this opportunity to contact the eldest princess, and hurriedly followed.
Speaking of entering the main hall, the eldest princess and Su Mu sat in the first place on the left and right, and the rest of the wives stood in a row from high to low according to the official rank and status of the husband and monarch in the family.
"Today, this palace is the same as everyone else, it is all for the He Su family's double happiness, everyone should not be restrained by this palace, and this palace should not be noisy." As she spoke, the eldest princess waved her hand at everyone and said, "Sit down." ”
"Thank you, Princess, for your grace." Then the wives sat on the two sides of the bottom.
"In the years that Grandpa Guo has been gone, it is really not easy for you to manage the affairs of the clan in the mansion and raise such a pair of excellent children, and now that Yan'er has officially been named the Duke of Guo, he is the rightful master of the Su family, and you will be able to relax in the future." This is said vaguely, but it exhausts the sadness of Su's mother Jiang's shortcomings over the years.
Although the deceased Zhenguo Gong was the eldest son of the Su family's generation, Su Yan was still young at that time, and the family concubines and side branches had their own thoughts, either they were eyeing the title, or they felt that the Su family was gradually declining, so they immediately sought other mansions that were in the limelight as backers, so they faded out of the family system.
