Chapter 12: The Seven Princesses Who Experienced the Suffering of the People
Returning from the hunting ground, Ling Hu Su was scolded by Concubine Su, Ling Hu Su did not resist, let her scold, scolded and cried, and was silent after crying.
Linghu Su didn't explain, but Concubine Su could understand, so she didn't ask.
The next day, an order came from the old emperor, allowing the seven princesses to leave the palace and set up a special princess's mansion. In fact, it is not far from the palace, but it is of great significance, which means that Ling Husu can come and go at will in the future, without being restricted.
As soon as the news came out, the whole city was in an uproar, because the news spread slowly, so it will take some time before the whole country is in an uproar.
Most of the scholars were against it, because there was no such precedent in Chen, and neither did any other country.
There are a few people who support it, and the reasons are different, some say that the emperor Chrysostom is a jade word, some say that the seventh princess has the ambition of a man, and some say that Chen Guo has been dull for a long time and needs a dose of fierce medicine to stimulate.
But no matter what the outside world commented, this matter was settled, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty objected, after all, they had already seen the power of the Seven Princesses in the hunting ground. At this time, to obstruct is to frame the emperor for the crime of rebellion, and no one dares to bear it.
Concubine Su slowly figured it out, according to her words, her daughter is going to marry anyway, and now she should be familiar with it in advance, and prepare all kinds of things for Linghu Su, which feels like preparing a dowry.
Qi Yuanhong, the left attendant of the household department, provided Ling Husu with five places, all of which were temporarily vacated old mansions, and Ling Husu understood that he definitely didn't go wherever he wanted, so he could only choose to be free.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, these five mansions are all left by the prince or minister, and they are the best five idle houses now, please make a choice."
Ling Husu looked at the map with a confused expression, the map in ancient times was like a ghost, and he couldn't understand why, so he put the map aside and said, "Introduce it to me." ”
"This house located in the east of the city comes from the former official department Shangshu, probably as follows......"
Qi Yuanhong said the five mansions in detail, the size, the environment, the degree of newness and oldness, and the distance from the palace.
Ling Hu Su didn't have much requirements for where to live, but when he heard that a house in Nancheng was the farthest away from the palace, Ling Hu Su's eyes lit up, and he made up his mind that he wanted this. It is impossible for him to live here all the time, and the farther away from the palace, the more convenient it is for him to do things.
When Qi Yuanhong said dryly, Linghu Su said: "Like clouds, look at tea, there is no eyesight." ”
Qi Yuanhong was flattered and thanked him again and again.
"I want the one in Nancheng, what is the palace of the old King of Qi, I think it's very good, surrounded by ordinary houses, very quiet. And not long after leaving the palace, it was a busy city, very lively. Fabulous, fabulous. ”
Qi Yuanhong cautiously took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and said in surprise: "I thought that Her Royal Highness the Princess would not choose this one, this is the farthest and oldest of the five residences from the palace, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to repair." ”
"How much time will it take?"
"A month."
"I'll give you ten days, just live if you can, I don't need to be gorgeous, you know, I don't need to be gorgeous, I don't need to be gorgeous, say important things three times."
Qi Yuanhong couldn't help nodding, and praised in his mouth: "The seventh princess is really a goddess who has come to the world, she understands the suffering of the people, and she doesn't want to spend a lot of time, I will definitely be Your Majesty!" ”
Huh! What does it mean?
Qi Yuanhong said goodbye and left, the repair work will be carried out immediately, and Ling Husu will be able to move in ten days later.
The next day, Qi Yuanhong processed Linghu Su's words artistically, and reported them word by word, saying that the seventh princess did not want to spend too much money, as long as it was simply repaired, if there was extra money, please help the people.
The old emperor was very happy and said that this daughter was like him and had the heart to serve the country and the people. Naturally, the officials flattered him, and some suggested that the princess's mansion should not be simply repaired, and that he was willing to donate "not much" family property. This formed a wave of donations, and a number of ministers wanted to donate "not much" family property, but the old emperor did not allow it, but the courtiers could not bear the sobbing flow, so they had to agree to collect a part.
When Concubine Su talked about this, Hu Su was dumbfounded.
"Mother, I only said that the house should be repaired quickly, and I didn't say anything for the country and the people."
"Shh Concubine Su glared at him and said, "That's what you said." Those courtiers who shout poor all day long, which one is not so rich that they are richer, richer than our royal family, and now let them take some money out, it is just a drop in the bucket. Your father wants to revitalize the military, and there are natural and man-made disasters everywhere in the country, and the expenses are relatively large, so your father will be happy to take some money from his courtiers. Now the situation is that you have earned fame, your father has earned money, and your courtiers have earned heartheart, and the three parties have a win-win situation. ”
Ling Hu Su was speechless, this can prove one thing, you have to be careful when you speak in the future, he is now a public figure. Just like the stars in the past, any word you say will be deliberately interpreted.
"Alas, isn't it good to live in the palace, you have to go outside and suffer." Concubine Su stroked Ling Hu Su's hair, which made Hu Su feel awkward at first, but gradually became comfortable.
Ling Husu replied unceremoniously: "Would you rather be a canary in a cage, or would you rather be a free bird?" ”
"Birds are good, but there are natural predators watching, and canaries are not free, but they live with peace of mind. Susu, I don't know what stimulated you to think like this, but I support you. Alas, your father is very old, and if you say something unpleasant, I'm afraid that the time will not be long, if your father is gone, and you marry again, what should I do? ”
"I'll take you out to live then." Ling Husu blurted out.
Concubine Su's beautiful eyes lit up, but they quickly went out again, and said with a wry smile: "The laws of the Chen Kingdom will not allow this kind of thing to happen, you can go out and live because of your father's strong insistence, he really pays a lot for you." So, you have to visit your father often, he is very tired and tired. ”
Ling Husu nodded, he could feel that in this world, only his parents were the most sincere to him, even if one was the emperor and the other was the imperial concubine.
"By the way, in two days, I'll take you to save your relatives."
"Provincial?"
"Yes, my mother's home is in Liuzhou, and when the time comes, you can see your grandparents again. Every year, you stay in the Su family and don't want to leave, and in the end I can only drag you away. You're sensible now, you can't do these jokes anymore. ”
"Well, no problem."
Linghu Su has a memory, Su Liu's maiden family is in the Su family in Liuzhou, which used to be a small family, but the tide is rising, and now it has become a big family. Every year, Chen Susu likes the life of the Su family very much, has a lot of fun with a group of friends, and cries miserably every time he leaves.
But now it's not Chen Susu, it's Ling Husu, and he has no interest in this kind of provincial pro. I won't say it, so it will inevitably ruin the happiness of the mother.
"I see, do I need to prepare anything?"
"What else can you prepare? It's good to be ready! ”
