Chapter 154: Routines and Anti-Routines
The women of the heavenly family are not so harmonious with each other, and they can't see each other a few times a year, and even if they do, they don't have much to say, and the feelings between their brothers and sisters are actually very weak.
She Jiang Xicheng also has a better relationship with her eldest brother, because the eldest brother is the prince, and his personality is gentle and easy to speak.
Where is it as fierce as the second brother, the third sister is so hypocritical, and the fourth brother is so strange.
Her relationship with Jiang Xifei was not good, dating back to the previous generation, Jiang Xicheng's mother and Jiang Xicheng's mother were also old enemies.
Jiang Xifei followed her mother's character, soft and weak, and I felt pity, and Jiang Xicheng was as lively and bold as her own mother, full of vitality.
In fact, Jiang Xicheng also felt that he didn't have much scheming, and compared with the ministers in the court, it was simply a big deal.
However, she is fully sure that even if this matter is revealed, she will not be punished too badly, at most it is an excuse, a good heart.
After all, Emperor Gao Dedi loves her, and to what extent she tolerates her, she knows very well in her heart.
Gao Dedi planted a seed because of Jiang Xicheng's sudden intervention this time.
In the follow-up, Jiang Xicheng intentionally or unintentionally added fuel to the fire, and even revealed the news to the son-in-law of the Lu family, which made the other party hopeful.
You must know that if ordinary people can marry a princess, it is a supreme glory.
Who wouldn't want to do such a good thing?
It's a pity that Jiang Xifei doesn't know anything about this, she stays in her palace all day, she doesn't hear anything outside the window, and she never thought that she could be calculated by her sister like this.
So much so that the Lu family privately asked to marry, and finally won the consent of Emperor Gao De.
In a few days, they will be married.
When Jiang Xifei knew about this, her face was full of astonishment, she couldn't believe her ears, and looked at her father-in-law who came to report, and was stunned for a long time.
Suddenly received the news that he was married, and it was difficult for any woman to accept it.
As a child of the heavenly family, don't you have the right to make your own choice?
However, when Jiang Xifei asked to see Emperor Gao De and euphemistically expressed his doubts, he was incomprehensible to the other party.
On weekdays, Emperor Gao Dedi is very busy, and he doesn't have much time to pay attention to the affairs of his youngest daughter's family.
Coupled with Jiang Xicheng's operation inside and out, this matter turned out to be fake.
When Emperor Gao De asked Jiang Xifei if he was not the man he liked from the Lu family, Jiang Xifei had already expected that someone was obstructing him.
At that time, she didn't say much, as a child, she would never dare to disobey Emperor Gaode.
However, who did this, she must also find out who targeted her like this.
At the beginning, someone told her that the person she was very likely to marry was Qi Qingchu, because the other party was the same age as him, and he was a young talent, a unique talent, and His Majesty attached great importance to him.
Jiang Xifei had met Qi Qingchu a few times, and her impression of him was also very good, so after a long time, she actually gave birth to a kind of peace of mind to get married.
She believed in his father, and in all aspects of her status, she was worthy of him.
But she didn't expect that the day of the real marriage came, and the person she gave was not the person she wanted.
Jiang Xifei didn't say anything too much to Emperor Gao De, but just checked it in private.
Her daily performance is indisputable, which is true. But that doesn't mean she doesn't have any means of it.
In the end, when she found out the ins and outs of this matter, she felt that she found that her little sister had grown up.
dared to calculate on her head.
As soon as the Son of Heaven says a word, there is no possibility of taking it back.
She, Jiang Xifei, is already destined to marry into the Lu family.
Just because Jiang Xicheng likes Qi Qingchu and is worried that it was her who gave her father to marry, not herself, and did such a shameless thing.
asked her sister to push it to a complete stranger, and the Lu family was as random as she picked it up from the side of the road.
Such a reckless act and tamper with other people's lives.
Jiang Xifei is not angry, she doesn't care.
But it's useless to care, it's already a foregone conclusion, she doesn't usually move around, and no one can help her, Qi Qingchu is even more impressed by her, and naturally there is no competition.
Therefore, Jiang Xifei could only be forced to marry the Lu family.
A few days before the marriage, Jiang Xicheng had already had a premonition, so she took the lead in hiding out, in fact, she was also afraid that Jiang Xifei would come to the door and then make the whole thing clear.
She actually has a ghost in her heart, and if this matter is clarified, she must be the one who suffers.
Therefore, Jiang Xicheng simply hid out.
However, if she can run away as a monk but can't run away from the temple, she Jiang Xicheng always wants to return to the palace and always want to get married.
Then, Jiang Xicheng can wantonly interfere in her life, so can she Jiang Xifei.
A war without gunpowder happened quietly between the two sisters.
Jiang Xicheng planned the affairs of the Lu family first, and successfully made Emperor Gao De confused that the person Jiang Xifei liked was the Lu family, not Qi Qingchu, and then gave marriage later.
In that case, then, Jiang Xifei can also do the same thing.
It's very simple, the source of the whole thing is that Jiang Xicheng didn't want Jiang Xifei to marry Qi Qingchu as his wife, so he forced her Jiang Xifei to other men.
Jiang Xicheng wanted to marry Qi Qingchu by herself, so she didn't let her get her wish.
Jiang Xifei reads poetry and books but is not a brainless person, she also has her own ideas, and she is no worse than other men.
It is impossible for Qi Qingchu to take the initiative to express his preferences, so she Jiang Xifei also shoehorned into a woman who Qi Qingchu was good at.
I heard that the queen mother's favorite niece is named Luo Lianfang? I heard that she is also an outstanding woman.
I heard that the Queen Mother also wants to marry Luo Lianfang to Qi Qingchu?
The Queen Mother and Jiang Xicheng have always been at odds behind their backs, and they can only get by on the surface, no matter what kind of bastard Jiang Xicheng does outside, they will be pushed on the Queen Mother, saying that they are influenced by the Queen Mother.
No one else can do anything about her.
Then let Jiang Xicheng continue to fight against the Queen Mother.
In addition, there is an important point......
Learning from Jiang Xicheng's appearance before, according to the father-in-law in the palace, the third princess, who never stepped out of her bedroom for half a step, actually sent a tonic soup to Emperor Gao De for a month, saying that she was afraid that she would marry outside the palace in the future and would no longer be able to serve her father, so she was grateful for her kindness and had such a behavior.
On the other hand, although Jiang Xicheng hid outside the palace, he had been paying attention to the movements in the palace, and he could have stayed for a few more days, but when he heard that Jiang Xifei ran to Emperor Gaode's palace every day, she couldn't stay any longer.
Before the agreed return date, I came back early.
She was afraid that Jiang Xifei would do something to make her father change his mind and withdraw the marriage that had been decided, and she was also afraid that Jiang Xifei would say something nonsense in front of His Majesty and cause His Majesty to dislike her.
That's bad.
Actually, Jiang Xifei didn't say anything, she just revealed from time to time that Xia Guo, a neighbor in the south of Chu State, came in and gave a lot of gifts.
I heard that the development of the country in the summer has been very good in recent years, but the country is often harassed by other foreign forces, even if the development is good, it needs to have thighs and hold.
So who is this thigh?
Naturally, it is the state of Chu.
So what kind of opportunity can make the Xia State belong to the Chu State without causing objections and troubles from other countries?
For example, and pro.
This undoubtedly provided Gao Dedi with an extremely good idea.
He has only two daughters.
If it is a kiss, it is okay to recognize a daughter and send it over, but it depends on the weight of the other party.
If it is an ordinary small barbarian country, it naturally doesn't matter, just find one or two women, dozens of them are no problem.
But if it is a vassal state that has developed into a help, then it cannot be taken lightly, otherwise the other party will think that the Chu State is not sincere.
But in fact, the strength of the Xia State did make Emperor Gao De a little moved, in this Central Plains land, in addition to the Chu State, the Qi State, and the Yan State, there are many small barbarian states, and some are also rising countries.
But one thing is undoubted, the more countries that annex and form alliances, the closer they interact with each other, and the more detrimental to their own national development.
Emperor Gao De did not close off the state of Chu, on the contrary, he was very much in favor of strengthening exchanges with other countries, of course, this was based on a certain order.
Anyone who traveled to and from other countries in the Chu State had to be closely inspected and monitored.
At the beginning, the local people of Chu were extremely resistant to foreign people, but as time passed, the degree of acceptance was much higher.
Later, with the addition of relevant policies, Chu had frequent commercial and trade exchanges, and had close exchanges with other countries.
The reason why Xia Guo sent fairness was because the merchants of Chu often came to Xia State to do business, bringing them all kinds of things, which also improved their lives to a certain extent, so it was normal for Xia Guo to send some things in order to show his gratitude.
There is not only one country that pays tribute to the Chu State, but there is only one Xia State that has a close relationship with each other.
The most terrifying thing is that Jiang Xifei did not face to face any words about Jiang Xicheng, about harmony, about Gao Dedi's ambition about the territory.
During her service to Emperor Gao De, she moisturized things little by little, and silently soaked her thoughts to Emperor Gao De.
Emperor Gao De may be very shrewd, or he may have controlled the court very well.
However, he is also a father first and foremost, and he still trusts what his daughters say, especially when they have grown up and been by their side for many years.
Of course, it would be great if they could maximize their value.
Jiang Xifei's marriage was only proposed under the impetus of the trouble, and his daughter was extremely weak-natured, and he didn't want her to live a life of too treacherous calculations, her mother was a gentle woman who was reluctant to do so.
Of course, he was reluctant to send Jiang Xicheng to a foreign country, but if he could expand the territory of Chu in his lifetime, this was Emperor Gao De's wish and a proof of his ambition to establish merit.
In the process, sacrificing a daughter is nothing, and he will double the compensation for her.
Therefore, since Jiang Xicheng came back, Gao Dedi's attitude towards her has been even better. Maybe it's because of pity that you will be married in the next few years.
In this way, Jiang Xicheng was even more flattered, how could her father be so good to her, even better than before.
Looking at Jiang Xifei, her attitude towards her was still soft and gentle, as if she didn't know that she did it.
But in Jiang Xicheng's opinion, this is definitely not deserved, because Jiang Xifei is not as simple as it seems, is she so willing to be manipulated and marry a completely strange man?
Although Jiang Xifei obviously had the opportunity to marry Qi Qingchu, although she was disturbed.
Jiang Xicheng still remembers the day she returned,
Looking at Jiang Xifei, who was smiling and standing gently next to Emperor Gao De, Jiang Xicheng rarely felt a little guilty in his heart.
But she didn't show it.
After that, nothing happened since.
Finally two years later, Jiang Xifei passed the door of the Lu family and went out of the palace.
I heard that even after getting married, Jiang Xifei still adhered to her previous habits, locked herself in her room and devoted herself to reading, playing the piano and painting.
Because the identity of the princess is there, the Lu family will not ask her for anything.
After marriage, the son of the Lu family loved Jiang Xifei very much, although he knew that Jiang Xifei looked gentle and gentle, but there was always an invisible separation between them, but this did not prevent him from being good to her.
Later, I heard that Jiang Xicheng was still a little jealous for a while. But after thinking that the person she was going to marry later was Qi Qingchu, she didn't feel jealous anymore.
Because looking carefully at the inside and outside of the capital, is there any man who can compare to Qi Qingchu? Except for his own brothers.
Jiang Xicheng has been waiting for herself to grow up, and she is thinking about waiting for her to grow up for a year or two.
Then she directly proposed to her father that her favorite person was Qi Qingchu, and then her father would also marry herself and marry Qi Qingchu as he did when he gave Jiang Xifei a marriage.
But what Jiang Xicheng didn't know was that after she calculated her sister, her sister also paved a way for her.
The past has become a cloud of smoke.
Jiang Xicheng didn't know his fate, and he had already made a decision. She also stubbornly believed that as long as she tirelessly pleaded with her father, her father would definitely let Qi Qingchu marry her.
It's just that it may be because Qi Qingchu has no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, so she can afford to wait, just like Luo Lianfang.
But unexpectedly, my father didn't speak for a long time.
That's it.
Luo Lianfang didn't wait, and released the news to the outside world, saying that she would choose a son-in-law again.
And now, Qi Qingchu's mother is actually looking for a woman externally, as if she wants to find a suitable wife for Qi Qingchu.
What is she, what is she?
I don't know why, Jiang Xicheng began to panic.
