Chapter 431: I envy Rong An
Rong An has been out for too long recently, and seeing that the wedding date is getting closer and closer, she is even busier.
Zhu Chengyi's house was renovated, but there was no hostess to help with it. Therefore, in addition to the reloading of his own mansion and his own marriage, Rong An also has to worry about all kinds of bits and pieces in the palace.
Zhu Chengyi stared at the construction everywhere, there were a lot of affairs, and he couldn't manage small things. Rong An was afraid that he would not live well in the future, so he would rather worry more about himself.
The palace is renovated as a whole, and the emperor pays the bills, so she and Zhu Chengyi don't have to worry about the budget, naturally they hope to have a new atmosphere, and everything will be renewed. So that cumbersome business, it's just a pile.
Ge's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and Rong An couldn't keep it busy, so he could only find his aunt and Ge Wei to help prepare his dowry.
As for the little friends, only Tao Yun had time to help choose all kinds of tablecloths, curtains, curtains, and tent materials needed by the palace twice. But even so, Rong An still only wants to have eight hands, and he can make all kinds of preparations together.
Rong An couldn't help but complain again, the time for this marriage was still too close. If it's spring, she'll have time to be perfect. She is in a hurry and tired.
She tentatively proposed to postpone the marriage, but there was no one to take care of her.
Extremely tired, she couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, saying that she would rest for a while? It didn't come true at all! Why are these days harder than the previous martial arts training?
Recently, she can't even see her friends.
Yan Feiqing, like her, is busy with marriage.
Chang Rufei had to prepare to marry far away. Gyeongnam is thousands of miles away, the customs and customs are different, and she has more things to prepare.
Princess Gyeongnam's first letter has arrived. It was Zhu Yongze's earlier reply to ask for instructions to marry Chang Rufei.
In the letter, the princess mentioned one thing to Zhu Yongze: It is okay to marry a noble girl in Beijing, but he has to agree to take his childhood sweetheart's cousin by his side.
said that all ethnic groups in Qingnan are staring at his marriage, and they can't ignore one or the other, and the relationship between Beijing and China must be maintained, but they can't ignore the local parties.
That cousin is the niece of the princess, who happens to be the daughter of a local clan in Gyeongnam, and has admired Zhu Yongze for many years.
So, Chang Rufei was worried.
This means that she still has a tough battle to fight when she gets married.
has both a mother-in-law and a concubine, which is already making people feel bad at the moment.
"If you don't want to, let's not get married." Tao Yun sighed. The more the inner house of the big family, the more inevitable it is to be turbulent. The higher the status, the more important it is to consider the interests of all parties. Three wives and four concubines can't be avoided at all.
Just like the relationship between King Yan'an and the princess is so good, don't you have to compromise to accept the concubine sent by Da Zhou next year? If you dare to struggle, you may have to be taken from status to head! It's so hard!
And what they are more worried about is that Chang Rufei is isolated after getting married, which is where the tricky lies. If the other party is strong, it is inevitable that you will be bullied in the future.
Judging from these aspects, they are even more envious of Rong'an.
Only Rong An has many methods, and he actually grasped the emperor's mind in front of everyone, and asked the emperor to make several requests in public. With only one name of "Hedong Lion", he got a lot of rights and interests such as "holding the financial power in the house", "being disciplined by the royal precepts", "not accepting concubines", "bringing a large number of mother's family members into the house" and so on.
Those rules and regulations are enough to make the women in the capital envious and jealous. What they didn't dare to think about, people not only mentioned it but also did it, where is this to marry, it is clear that they are looking for a place to be the Buddha that is offered.
It's a pity that there is that pearl and jade in front, and when they look at their marriages recently, they don't feel that anything is enough......
So, people are more angry than people!
No way!
Even if God gives them Zhu Chengyi, they won't be able to become Yu Rongan!
So, resign yourself to fate!
Chang Rufei smiled bitterly with a hint of sweetness:
"He told me and Pan, which shows his frankness, he said that everything has him, so I don't have to worry. If he had been interested in his cousin, they would have been married or married. He said, "After I pass, I will not be wronged." He will try to solve his cousin's matter first. β
That person was chosen by himself, where was Chang Rufei willing not to marry. She was never afraid of fighting, she was only afraid that she had no motivation to fight.
And he has already written back, saying that he will never let my cousin in until I nod his head. Even after entering the door, I won't let that cousin get pregnant until I give birth. We felt that the cousin might not be able to wait, and might be able to choose to be discouraged by herself......"
"Since you can't let him go, then we can only move forward. Against all odds, you can do it! Tao Yun encouraged.
As a result, Chang Rufei could only increase her preparations.
As Rong'an guessed earlier, in order to make her more worthy of the prince of Gyeongnam, her brother was promoted again. The Chang family, which has been in the doldrums for decades, began to rejuvenate, and another Chang family child also had a chance to hone his skills.
So Chang Rufei felt that even for the sake of the family, she had to be the princess of Qingnan smoothly. In this way, at least her family can be ensured to prosper for a few more generations.
After the Chang family got the emperor's nod, they trained a lot of people, intending to use them as dowries and confidence. The Chang family also went to Gyeongnam with people, preparing to buy some industries in advance and train some people. In the future, if Chang Rufei is wronged, there will be no one available, and there will be no support from her mother's family.
In the past few days, Gyeongnam has received another letter.
Princess Qingnan urged Zhu Yongze to go back early to prepare for the marriage, but Zhu Yongze insisted on waiting for Zhu Chengyi to return after the wedding, to put it bluntly, it was to spend more time with Chang Rufei.
He plans to come home for the New Year.
Their marriage is scheduled for May next year, and there is still plenty of time. This point made Rong An envious. But Rong An also slightly felt that Princess Qingnan was afraid that it would be difficult to get along, and Chang Rufei was afraid that she would have to survive in the future......
In the middle of October, good news came from the palace.
The emperor's favored concubine Xi is pregnant.
For more than a month, the fetus was stable.
The emperor proved that his sword was not old and still strong, so he was naturally happy, and made an exception to promote the concubine to the first level.
As a result, it only took more than three months for the Cao family to be promoted to three levels in a row and became Concubine Xi, which made everyone in the harem red.
The emperor held a feast in the palace.
A few are happy and a few are astringent.
The emperor's health is healthy, and the throne is undecided, which only makes the princes secretly worried.
Rong An heard from his father that after Zhu Yonghao heard the good news, he smiled and got drunk that night.
He smiled at the moon chief: "What's the use of controlling me!" I'm going to see what the outcome will be. As long as you don't die, you won't stop fighting. The fight will never stop, I'll just wait to see the show! I'll have to see who will be left behind! Who is the ultimate winner! β
The emperor over there was overjoyed, and Zhu Yongning was crowned king and opened the mansion.
Since then, the Great Zhou Dynasty has had another King Ning.
In addition, King Ning's marriage was also brought up.
Zhu Yongning has always been arrogant and a little picky, and after the emperor asked for his opinion, he planned to hold a banquet for him in a few days to choose a princess.
The candidates were proposed by the emperor and the concubine. Tao Yun and Changning are not yet allowed to be allowed to be on the list.
Changning panicked and hurriedly came to find Rong'an.
"I don't want to marry King Ning! You give me ideas! β
Rong An glared at her: "There are so many noble ladies attending the banquet, most of them are just going to join in the fun, who said that they would choose you?" "Rong An doesn't think that according to Zhu Yongning's heart, he will choose Changning.
It's not that Changning himself is not good enough, although Changning is really not good...... Ahem, the main reason is that no matter how famous the daughter of the king of Cyprus is, her confidence is thousands of miles away, and she is not as helpful as the daughters of the powerful in Beijing.
Coupled with Changning's recklessness, it was definitely not Zhu Yongning's choice.
"Yes...... What if? Didn't you take care of everything in front of my mother? You can't be a shopkeeper at this time! β
Rong An saw that Changning was really flustered, and felt a little weird.
"What? This is to be a princess! Zhu Yongning is an authentic prince, and he is not as useless as Zhu Yonglin, marrying him is a good choice. IMHO, you're perverse. At this time, you shouldn't push back, but come to me to help match you. β
Rong An leaned closer to her, looked at her and said, "You shouldn't be interested in someone, right?" I haven't been sneaking around lately, are you hiding something from me? Who is that man? Recruit from the truth! β
"Yu Rongan, don't talk nonsense! Who sneaked around! I just don't want to marry Zhu Yongning! Forget it, I don't ask you, it's not like I won't marry Zhu Yongning anyway! Changning left in a huff.
Rong An felt inexplicable.
She and Changning often quarrel, but Changning can't afford to joke this time, there must be a problem.
Could it be that Changning and Zhu Yongning have a grudge? β¦β¦
What Rong An didn't expect was that Tao Yun also found him.
"I think I'll be selected by Zhu Yongning." Tao Yun Road.
"Well, if I were him, I would choose you too." Tao Yun was the person Zhu Yonghao liked earlier. The prestige of her family's old man Tao is first-class among the literati, and although he is in a state of semi-retirement at the moment, as long as the prestige is there, he is still the backbone of the civil officials.
In addition, Tao Yun himself is smart and capable, can look at his eyes and understand people's feelings, he is impeccable!
"What do you think of King Ning?" Tao Yun asked.
Rong Anzhen can't say this well.
She didn't have much contact with Zhu Yongning. In his previous life, Zhu Yongning had been following Zhu Yongtai until a year later. His princess, under the interference of the crown prince, is just the concubine of an old noble family with no rights, how can she have so many choices in this life!
After Zhu Yongtai fell in his previous life, King Ning's power was also disintegrated, but he didn't have a bad time, and he was not subject to a big reckoning, at least he was an idle prince. The days are not bad.
At this time in this life, the crown prince has fallen, and King Ning will not know where they will go, and Rong An does not know.
"I don't want to be in the royal family anymore." Tao Yun said bluntly. One is because of the risk, the second is too tired, and the third is ...... She is so envious of Rong An. It is said that she is close to Zhu Zhechi, after she has seen too much Rong An, she was really led astray by Rong An, and she feels that it is most important to be comfortable and happy.
The thought of entering the palace or entering the royal family suddenly made her feel breathless.
Moreover, the Tao family's today is the accumulation of real talent and learning, and the family does not need her to fight.
"Rong'an, you can help me."
ββ¦β¦β
Rong An was stunned.
Why don't you want to marry King Ning and let yourself do things?
However, although Zhu Chengyi felt that he was too nosy, Rong An still firmly believed that it was his ability and good popularity that made everyone willing to trust and rely on him.
"Wouldn't it be nice for you to say hello to the King of Thailand? King Ning has always been the only king of Thailand, and the king of Thailand needs help to ascend to the throne, and your family made it clear to him that you don't want to marry King Ning, and he will definitely arrange for this face. β
"Say hello. But it didn't seem to work. β
It turned out that when Tao Yun and Yan Feiqing were buying dowries yesterday, they happened to meet Zhu Yongning, who was also purchasing materials for the new house.
It stands to reason that the two parties are not familiar with each other in the first place, and the most they meet is a nodding acquaintance. The King of Thailand has said hello again, and it is best to stay away.
But Zhu Yongning's attitude is wrong, he is not only asking people to bring tea, but also to talk, no matter how you look at it, he is a little courteous.
As soon as his eyes burned, Tao Yun was stunned.
"He reminds me of Zhu Yonghao, with straight hair on his back. So, I think I'm in danger. I hate those looks. β
"Tao Yun, do you like your senior brother?" Rong An suddenly laughed and said.
"What?" Tao Yun's face turned suspiciously red.
"If you tell me, I'll figure it out for you."
ββ¦β¦β
"Are you interested in your father's closed disciple?"
Tao Yun stared at Rong An, wondering why she was so sure.
"Where do you like it, it's just that my father likes it. I just think that that person and I have the same interests, and we should be okay to live together. That's all. Go with the flow, I want to keep it simple. β
She sighed.
"I don't want to be left to the fate of God, I have to do my best. Give it a try. β
Tao Yun looked up:
"I've told you everything you need to know, how are you going to help me?"
"Pretending to be sick and not going to the banquet?"
"That's how you do it?" Yan Feiqing pretended to be sick and refused to give marriage, she was just choosing someone at the moment, and she was afraid that if she didn't show up, she wouldn't even have a chance to get rid of it.
"Let's just say that I have already married your senior brother."
"No! My senior brother's identity is not good enough, and no one will believe it. On the contrary, they were able to be a shield for their senior brother, which not only offended King Ning of Thailand, but also affected my brother's reputation and future! β
"That'...... Can...... I don't know! β
Rong An was right. Tao Yun is obviously smarter than her, why did he ask her!
"I haven't thought about it yet! So don't know! β
She just gave a promise just for the sake of clichΓ©s, her brain has never turned fast, if she is lucky, she will probably be able to have a rut in one day, if she is unlucky, ten days and half a month may not be.
But the banquet of the concubine is the day after tomorrow.
Rong An was not sure.
"Or ...... It just so happens that Changning doesn't want to marry King Ning, why don't you two fight in front of everyone the day after tomorrow and lose King Ning's face, how about it? Rong An propped his head and squinted: "King Ning has always been proud, he must not be able to stand it, and he probably won't look down on you." In this way, your reputation will also be ruined, so you don't have to marry each other, just enough to marry your senior brother. β
Tao Yun was not angry: "Aren't you afraid of backfire?" What if King Ning pushed the boat down the river and insisted that the two of us were fighting for his position as the princess, and in order to be responsible for the two of us who had a bad reputation, he went directly to the emperor and took the two of us to his side and hugged him left and right? β
"Oh, that's what my brain can come up with. Either give me some time or do it yourself! β
Rong An ran away, one by one, all of them were annoying.
