Chapter 373: Zhou Ying
Chapter 373
The heirs of the Great Qin royal family are not prosperous, especially the female baby.
Taizu never had a princess at all, and Taizong only got a beloved eldest daughter Zhaonan.
Zhao Nan grew up in the palm of Taizong's hands and is a veritable pearl in the palm of his hand.
Therefore, the princess's mansion was repaired in the closest position to the palace, facing the Yishan Fang of Danfeng Gate, and the wall of the temple was directly opened and the mansion gate was made.
On the bright moon floor in the back garden of the princess's house, you can directly see the eaves of the Hanyuan Hall of the Daming Palace.
In the first emperor's dynasty, the imperial history felt that this was really unseemly, so he suggested that the eldest princess's mansion be relocated.
The first emperor asked him rhetorically: "Then who will leave such a good house to?" Deserted? Or to you? Let you see my Daming Palace every day? ”
The first emperor meant: Although the eldest sister is married, the palace is still her maiden home, and she can see her maiden family every day, which is also a comfort to the eldest sister.
But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty immediately interpreted it into another meaning: such an excellent location can only be used by the princesses to live, so that there is no threat to the palace.
Everyone was silent.
As a result, the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Zhaonan has been standing opposite the Danfeng Gate for forty-two years.
The moon is in the middle of the sky.
The little master in the princess's mansion, Zhou Ying, the lord of Wenhui County, was sitting on the swing frame downstairs under Mingyue, looking at Yue'er with a stupid look.
It was late at night, and the wind was slightly cool.
But the temper of the county lord ......
The girls who served didn't dare to persuade deeply, so they quietly went to one and informed Zhou Jian, the king of Yong'an County.
Zhou Jian listened, was silent for a long time, and didn't want to care: "Let her sit for a while." When I was sleepy, I naturally went back. ”
Where did the girl dare to let the county lord really sit down like this, and begged bitterly: "County king, you don't know the county lord's temper, she will sit for a night...... The eldest princess of Ming'er knows, and the slaves and maids will not be able to live......"
After all, Zhou Jian couldn't stand the girls' tears, got up and slowly paced to the back garden.
The eldest princess's mansion is huge. Pavilions, ponds, bridges.
Zhou Jian lives in the courtyard by the west gate, out of the back door of the yard, turn to the east, is the back garden.
Mingyue Tower is the main building of the back garden, with it as the center, extending a small bridge to flow out. There is a large open space downstairs, planted with precious flowers and plants such as peony and peony, the favorite of the eldest princess of Zhaonan.
Zhou Ying liked the feeling of being surrounded by a hundred flowers, so she made two or three swings between the flower beds.
Now, the petite jade man is leaning on the swing among the flowers, his eyebrows are speechless.
Zhou Jian looked at the little sister who was dragged on the ground in Yunjin shawl from afar, pursed her lips gently, and did not make a sound, walked over slowly, stood behind her, stretched out a hand, and gently held her somewhat weak shoulder.
"Brother." Zhou Ying had already seen Zhou Jian, but she was too lazy to speak.
Zhou Jian looked at his sister who was like a white jade doll, a smile of pity overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "Go back to sleep." ”
Zhou Ying shook her head.
Zhou Jian sighed in his heart, withdrew his hand, walked to another swing, sat on it, shook it casually, and persuaded softly: "Didn't you already know that there would be such a day?" ”
Zhou Ying smiled faintly, then looked blankly at the sky and the moon, and muttered: "Pity the little children, and I don't remember Chang'an." Brother, didn't you say that it would be his turn to wait until his sister's marriage was decided? How can it be so fast? ”
Lin Bo had already looked at Shen Er differently. Although because the Shen family was unwilling, the palace temporarily suppressed the matter. But His Majesty saw Shen Er with his own eyes, and he ......" Zhou Jian stopped.
My sister didn't really need any answers.
Zhou Ying abruptly leaned a white and tender face that deceived the frost and snow on the swing rope wrapped in silky brocade, laughed, and said in a low voice: "Why can you ask to marry Linbo, but I can't marry him......"
Zhou Jian sighed lightly: "Because I'm a man...... Yingying, forget it......"
"Why forget it?" Zhou Ying's long and narrow phoenix eyes finally turned to her brother: "Brother, I want him." You can help me kill Shen Er. ”
Zhou Jian pondered for a moment and hesitated: "It's nothing to kill Shen Er." But, Yingying, Grandmother won't agree to you being with him. ”
Zhou Ying faintly leaned on the swing rope again and looked at Yue'er, and sighed casually: "It's okay. As long as it's not someone else's, then sooner or later, it will be mine. ”
"Yingying, ah......" Zhou Jian sighed.
"Brother, you promised me. Remember. Zhou Ying said casually, but she was still lazy and couldn't lift her spirits.
Zhou Jian snorted, stood up, and went over to take her hand: "It's not a big deal." Go back to sleep. Would you like to buy you a little civet cat tomorrow and come back to play? ”
Thinking of the dexterous cat, Zhou Ying finally had three points of joy, and stood up obediently, but her feet were soft: "Alas." ”
The servants and girls around them were frightened and rushed over: "County Lord." ”
"Well, it's okay, I've been sitting for a long time, and my feet are a little numb." Zhou Ying smiled, leaned on her brother, and slowly turned her ankles lightly.
A majestic voice sounded faintly: "Is this just an idea?" ”
The servants and girls shook their bodies and knelt on their knees.
Zhou Jian and Zhou Ying's bodies also stiffened, and they each stood up straight and saluted respectfully: "Grandmother." ”
Zhao Nan stood in the corner of the building with one hand behind his back, his face sank, and he looked at a pair of grandchildren with anger in his eyes.
"Marriage events, parents' orders, matchmakers' words. Especially as a royal prince and noble, what can allow you to be so willful? ”
Zhou Jian and Zhou Ying bowed their heads and bowed, not daring to reply.
"Especially you. The girl's family, who is about to reach the end of the day, is so despised and despised like this! ”
Zhou Ying was scolded and her face was flushed.
"Go back to your room. Grounded for a month. Zhao Nan came to a conclusion directly.
Zhou Ying only dared to bow her head and say yes.
glanced at Zhou Jian lightly: "And you." Not to mention that Haosheng admonished her, she was spoiled to the point of disregarding her face. Do you also want to go to war with foreign criminals? Should I let you follow Qin to patrol the border? ”
Zhou Jian only felt that a thin layer of sweat had formed on his back, and he was cold. Raise your hand to increase your forehead, and bend down deeply: "Grandson will never dare to act rashly." I will think carefully and speak carefully in the future. ”
There was a hint of disappointment in Zhao Nan's eyes: "You are already an adult. Stop doing this kind of light, heavy, and meaningless thing. ”
The brother and sister agreed softly and retreated.
Zhao Nan stood in place, coldly looked at the two young backs in the distance, turned around and went up to Mingyue Tower step by step.
"When will I be able to grow up......?"
……
……
Ashram.
"What?! Sister Mao is the princess? The will is given? That's great! Old Bao pushed away the braised hooves in front of him, and his eyes glowed green.
Aunt Lian cautiously glanced at Yao Tao, who was standing on the side, and said in a low voice: "It has nothing to do with us......
Yao Tao pushed her away, stepped forward and smiled: "How can it be okay?" Old lady, Miss Pei is eight years old! The Wing King will have to return to Beijing next year and get married the year after next. At that time, our Miss Pei will be ten years old! Ten years old, big girl......"
As he spoke, he glanced at Old Bao.
Old Bao understood, smiled greedily, and nodded again and again: "Not bad!" Not bad!!! In addition to the princess, there are also side concubines and widows in the palace! ”
Immediately raised his hand and pointed at Aunt Lian: "Pack up Sister Pei'er." Early tomorrow morning, she will go with me to the Shilang Mansion! ”
