306, Xiangcheng Marriage (II)
"Queen Mother, what you said is a torment for the ministers, you are the queen of the Tang Dynasty, according to the standards of food and clothing, according to the queen's specifications is a matter of course, your thrift does not lie in personal use, but in the measurement and control of the entire court."
"At the beginning of my father's accession to the throne, you supported him to release nearly half of the palace maids, and the expenses saved by this alone are difficult to measure."
"My Tang Dynasty is the Heavenly Dynasty, and my father is regarded as the Khan of Heaven by foreign peoples, if you can't even maintain the basic food and clothing of your mother, the mother of the country, it will make people laugh."
"And the queen mother never spends extravagantly except for basic expenses on weekdays, not only yourself, but you also demand the same standard from all the children of your father, that is, you are not allowed to squander them except for the flattery they deserve."
"For the palace concubines, it is also not allowed to be extravagant and wasteful, and the queen mother's behavior of not deliberately letting herself show her poor clothes and food in the name of thrift, but also being able to reasonably control all the expenses in the palace is the real thrift."
"Xiangcheng is different, Xiangcheng, as the eldest princess, has never contributed half an inch to the country's construction, but enjoys all the glory and wealth and brocade clothes and food, and this princess's mansion is indeed a useless thing for the sons, so the sons and daughters resigned....." Xiangcheng was taken aback, and said with a panicked face.
"Silly boy, this palace is really proud and proud of you, my princess of the Tang Dynasty, if you have such a character, the people and courtiers will love the court more and more and respect Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun smiled, walked up to her, and patted her on the shoulder.
That night, Empress Changsun relayed Xiangcheng's words to Li Shimin as they were.
After Li Shimin listened, he was surprised and very pleased: "This child is really good, he can be a model for all princesses, and of course, you are also the queen who teaches you well." ”
"Haven't you been worried about Yongjia, in my opinion, not only Yongjia, we should let all unmarried princesses and county lords come to learn the way of doing things in Xiangcheng."
"Look at how good this child is, although she is a princess, after marrying into the Xiao family, she is the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, and she should live with her husband and serve her in-laws and husband as the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family."
"I shouldn't rely on the identity of the royal princess, counting on my father-in-law and mother-in-law to ask me for peace, if my princess of the Tang Dynasty can be like Xiangcheng, why worry that the people and ministers of the world do not respect the royal family and do not love the royal family?"
"Seriously, when I married Xiangcheng before, I still felt a little wronged by Xiao Rui, but now it seems that Xiao Rui's kid has climbed high, and a character like Xiangyang, no matter which family it is, it is a great blessing to be able to marry her." Li Shimin's tone was full of emotion.
Empress Changyu glanced at her husband: "Xiangcheng can be such a governor to put it bluntly, or this child's own character is good, and it has little to do with the concubine." ”
"Your Majesty has asked other unmarried princesses and county lords to come and learn from Xiangcheng, this proposal is good, our children and the children of the princes are easy to talk about, but the children of the father and the emperor are a little embarrassed."
"What's so difficult? If my father's daughter does not obey the discipline, I will also use the family law, you don't care about this matter, I will go and talk to my father, I heard that Yongjia is not very satisfied with the marriage I refer to? When Li Shimin heard this, his face suddenly sank.
Because of his wife's ability, he manages all the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner, and there is nothing to worry about himself, and Li Shimin rarely pays attention to the affairs of the harem.
But since listening to Yongjia's story, Li Shimin unconsciously paid more attention to this young girl.
Especially after pointing out the Dou family's relatives for her, she paid more attention to her, the Li family was a little sorry for Chen Guogong, if she married into the Dou family, she acted willfully and recklessly, and disturbed the Dou family's peace, he would be even more ashamed of Dou resistance.
This attention has found many things, such as Yongjia since she heard that she was pointed out to a family who had been deposed from her title, she was full of resentment, and she lost her temper in the palace more than once, and I heard that she also wanted to go to Dou Fengjie in person, hoping that he would stand up and withdraw from her family.
Of course, Li Shimin only heard about this matter, and he is not sure if it is really true, he has been very busy recently, and he has not had time to ask about it, and when he talks about Xiangcheng at this moment, he thinks of this stubble, and when he thinks of this matter, he is annoyed in his heart.
"Xu is a miscommunication, although Yongjia's child is a little stronger, if she is not so ignorant, Your Majesty should not be angry, the concubine will find an opportunity to persuade her." Speaking of Yongjia, Empress Eldest Sun suddenly had a headache.
This child is really embarrassing, if it weren't for Li Yuan's discipline of her much stricter recently, the people sent by her side would not follow her to mess around, and I don't know what would happen.
But these things are not suitable to say to the husband, otherwise, with the husband's temperament, in a fit of anger, what happened to Yongjia, wouldn't it greatly offend the emperor?
The Emperor Taishang has spoiled Yongjia for so many years, even if he knows that this daughter has a lot of problems, he can't do it if he really asks him to discipline him harshly or simply let it go.
The emperor is not young and can't be stimulated, if the emperor is angry and makes the emperor angry, how can it be good?
Empress Changsun understands this truth, and Li Shimin obviously understands that for Yongjia's sister, he is really difficult to deal with for a while, only when he thinks of the dead Dou Kang, he feels more and more sorry for Dou Fengjie, a good son like Dou Fengjie, with Yongjia is a waste.
Time continued to slide forward, and in a blink of an eye, it was March 16, the day when the eldest princess of Xiangcheng got married.
On this day, Chang'an, the sky is high, the eyes are thousands of miles, Xiangcheng is dressed in a big green princess wedding dress, and the emperor and queen personally send the wedding sedan chair of six horses, out of the palace gate, with a long dowry procession, towards the Song State Mansion.
Princess Xiangcheng took the initiative to resign the reputation of the princess's mansion has long been announced to the public by the emperor, and after hearing about it, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all envied Xiao Yu, and felt that this old guy's blessing was really good, and he actually married such a transparent princess.
Princess Shang is really a beautiful chapter, but there are also many people in real positions in the court who do not want to be Princess Shang, the reason is that naturally after the princess, a large family of people have to bow down to her for no reason.
When people marry their daughters-in-law and go home, they are for their husbands and children, and they serve their in-laws and husbands.
Don't let her serve her in-laws, she doesn't look for you even if she burns high incense, the princess lives in her princess's mansion all year round, and occasionally comes to her mother-in-law's house to show her face, and her in-laws have to salute when they see her, this kind of taste......
But Xiao Yu, the son of the old boy, actually has a princess mansion who doesn't want a princess, and is willing to marry like a noble daughter from an ordinary family, and he calls himself the princess of the Xiao family and serves her in-laws and husband wholeheartedly......
All of a sudden, when countless nobles in Kyoto talked about Xiao Yu, their tones were sour, and the parties Xiao Yu's father and son were in good spirits on happy occasions, and they walked with wind on their feet.
Especially the groom's official Xiao Rui, the joy in his heart was not experienced by others at all, on the day of the wedding, Sina, who was dressed in a red wedding dress, looked at the luxury wedding car next to him, and the smile on his face was almost overflowing.
