337. The crown prince marries a concubine
"Queen Mother, what are you talking about, you are trying to torment your sons." Li Chengqian was startled, with a panicked expression.
"Silly child, the daughter of the Su family is indeed a rare good girl, and the queen mother's illness is only afraid that she will cause her less trouble, and she really feels very guilty in her heart."
"In two days, I will discuss with your father and the emperor to set your marriage for the beginning of next year." Empress Eldest Sun glanced at him and shook her head.
The marriage between the crown prince and the daughter of the Su family has just been set for a year, and she and the emperor originally planned to let them get married in November this year.
As a result, she couldn't afford to get sick after a trip to Jiucheng Palace, which must have had some impact on the reputation of the Su family's daughters, especially those who are red in the crown princess's position, I am afraid that they will have to make a fuss about it.
The eldest grandson is quite satisfied with Su Xian's daughter-in-law, and he doesn't want to give her a bad reputation because of herself.
Li Chengqian knew his mother's thoughts, and his heart was grateful, and his nose unconsciously soured.
At the beginning of December, the edict of one finger was sent down to the palace of the secretary Cheng Su Kang again, which was a holy decree for marriage.
The decree is as follows: the eldest daughter of the secretary Cheng Su, the door attack Xuan Guan, the family heirloom righteousness, the supple appearance, the quiet nature, the history of the training, the reputation of the country.
The right position of the prince, the real dynasty, can be the crown princess, the preparation of the rite order, the master of the implementation, the marriage date is scheduled for the first month of the ninth year of Zhenguan.
The Su family received this edict, and the hanging heart was finally put in the stomach.
It is said that the time for the prince to marry the concubine was originally scheduled for November this year, but in August of that year, the queen came back from the Jiucheng Palace and was ill.
There are already rumors in Beijing that the crown princess and the queen are not in harmony with each other......
The pressure on the Su family during this period of time is really extraordinary, and even Su Yan, who has always been calm, has a heart hanging tightly.
Although he didn't believe that the emperor's wisdom would anger his daughter at will, if the queen had any three strengths and two weaknesses, with the emperor's deep affection for the queen, and then listening to the rumors in Beijing, it was difficult to predict what decision would be made.
Mrs. Su was even more nervous, and she couldn't even sleep well for a long time, but Su Xian was very calm.
Xu is the reason why she has devoted herself to studying medical science over the years, and her attitude towards marriage is much more open-minded than that of ordinary women.
On the day of the wedding decree, Mrs. Su was so excited that she burst into tears, and as soon as the person who passed the finger left, she entered the small Buddha hall at home, and sincerely raised incense and kowtowed in front of the Bodhisattva statue: "Thank you Bodhisattva for your mercy and bless ...... mercy."
"Xian Niang, the day after tomorrow, you will follow me into the palace to see the queen mother." Coming out of the small Buddha hall, Mrs. Su went to her daughter's courtyard again, and said to her daughter who was holding a medical book in her hand.
"Okay." Su Xian nodded.
Her impression of the imperial mother is very good, and during the period when the queen was seriously ill, she also visited the palace more than once.
Although she has not yet passed the door, she can be regarded as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, and her future mother-in-law is seriously ill, so she has no reason not to visit.
On the ninth day of the twelfth month, the third day of the promulgation of the holy decree, Su entered the palace with his daughter.
The two came to the Lizheng Palace, and after seeing the ceremony and sitting down, Su Xian quietly looked at the eldest grandson queen for a while, and after half a moment, a pair of beautiful eyebrows unconsciously frowned.
"Mrs. Su, because of this palace, you and Qian'er's marriage was delayed by two months for no reason, and because of this, it caused you and the Su family a lot of trouble, I really can't help it."
At this moment, Empress Eldest Sun raised her eyes and looked at her, and spoke.
"Niangniang has tormented the courtiers, in the way of the monarch and the ministers, you are a country with both virtue and virtue, the mother of the world, I don't know how many people have been blessed, you are in poor health, and the courtiers should sincerely pray for you."
"In the way of respect and humility of the elders and young, the courtiers are the wives of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who have not yet passed the door, and they are your daughters-in-law who have not passed the door, you are in poor health, and the courtiers should serve closely, and the courtiers only hate the lack of medical skills, and they can't immediately relieve the mother's pain, and how can they afford the mother's voice."
Su Xian was startled, calmed down, quickly stood up, and said with a panicked expression.
"Sit down and talk, don't be so nervous, when you marry and get along with this palace for a long time, you will know that there are not so many rules here in this palace." Empress Eldest Sun waved her hand, motioning for her to sit down.
The queen chatted with them for an hour, and Mrs. Su saw that her face was tired, so she said goodbye with a lot of eyes.
Coming out of the palace, Mrs. Su said to her daughter with some hesitation: "Xianniang, I don't think Niangniang's spirit and complexion are not very good, but her illness is not completely cured?" ”
"Niangniang has been sick for so long, it will naturally take a while to fully recover." Su Xian was silent for a moment before speaking.
It was really inconvenient for her to tell her mother that the queen's lust and mental state were very poor, and at first glance it was that her body was overdrawn, her vitality was damaged, and she was restless and sleepless.
In other words, although the queen looks good, she is very weak.
She can see the situation of the queen, and it is impossible for Imperial Doctor Jiang and Sun Simiao, who are not much stronger than her in the palace, not to see it.
But everyone had a tacit understanding that they didn't say anything, and they could only say that the queen was helpless in this situation.
As soon as she thought of this, Su Xian's heart was unconsciously covered with a layer of worry.
Although she is a boudoir woman who ignores court affairs, she can also hear the existence of the queen from her father's comments on the court and the queen, and her influence on His Majesty and the crown prince is very important.
There are many concubines in His Majesty's harem, and the power of the maternal family is very prominent, if something really happens to the queen, these maternal families are prosperous, and the concubines who have sons under their knees are afraid that they will not be as peaceful as they are now.
But her marriage to the prince is a foregone conclusion, no matter what the future holds, she can only marry to the Taifu Mansion in peace.
Because she had something on her mind, her expression was a little depressed for a few days, Su Yan found out that her daughter was different, and called her to her side: "Xianniang, you went to the palace with your mother two days ago, and you have been depressed since you came back, but what happened?" ”
"It's nothing, father, do you have any friendship with Sun Simiao and Sun Shenyi?" Su Xian shook her head, was silent for a moment, and asked again.
"Why do you ask this? Could it be a mother? Su Yan was stunned, and then sighed in his heart.
"It's nothing, Xu is daughter thinks too much, the daughter is looking at the queen's complexion is not very good, and she thinks that if she has the opportunity to worship under Doctor Sun, and then learn some medical skills, when her daughter marries into the East Palace, she can better serve her mother closely." Su Xian said.
She really hopes to meet Sun Simiao to see if there are any good ways to help the queen recuperate.
Although Doctor Sun has unparalleled medical skills, he is not in the capital most of the time, and he is not as good as being a woman, so he can take care of the queen closely.
"......" Su Yan.
In the first month of the ninth year of Zhenguan, Li Chengqian married the eldest daughter of the secretary Cheng Su as the crown princess.
The dowry that the Su family handled for their daughter stretched for several miles, and the real ten miles of red makeup, Li Shimin feasted the ministers for this and gave countless brocades and silks.
During the period of mourning, Tang Taizong issued an edict ordering the crown prince to supervise the state and know about military affairs, and Li Chengqian was "quite knowledgeable" and "quite able to hear and judge", and did a very good job.
