"Three horses of Suzhou Yunjin, a pair of Hezui incense burners, a bronze mirror, five boxes of rouge gouache in Baihualou, three boxes of flower yellow, one pineapple bookcase, three pairs of calligraphy and painting......"

There are no less than dozens of rewards on the gift list, and the total value is only eight hundred taels of silver, but Princess Kangning's reward makes people feel a little inexplicable.

Song Nan Shili asked the female official, "I don't know why the princess gave these gifts?" ”

The female official said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess said that today's service and travel are meritorious, so the rewards, some of which can be used by adults, rouge gouache and the like are tributes from Baihualou, which cannot be bought outside, and Her Royal Highness the princess is rewarded to the concubines of Lord Song; In addition, Her Royal Highness the princess also rewarded a bottle of healing medicine to treat the wound on Lord Song's forehead. ”

The female officer smiled and took out a sheep fat jade bottle from her sleeve, and handed it to Song Nan with both hands, Song Nan took it blankly, not knowing what it was like in her heart.

After rewarding the female official Gong and sending him away, Song Nan sat in the hall and looked at the things in the room in a daze, Xiao Ping'er and Li Xiaomei turned over things and smiled, marveling at the exquisiteness of things and the preciousness of rouge, but Song Nan turned a deaf ear.

Ye Fanggu leaned against the door with a sneer on her face and looked at Song Nan, Lu Qingli also stared at Song Nan with a gossipy look, the two sisters had exquisite hearts, and their sixth sense was extremely keen, and they had already made up countless versions of the relationship between Song Nan and the princess Kangning who suddenly appeared in their hearts.

Song Nan was stared at by them, and frowned: "What are you doing looking at me?" The rouge gouache that the princess has given you is of the highest quality, so you can divide it. ”

Ye Fanggu said lazily: "It's not for us, it's for you." ”

Song Nan said: "What's mine is yours, is there a difference?" ”

Ye Fanggu chuckled: "We don't dare to use it, we feel uncomfortable when we use it." ”

Song Nan said: "What do you mean?" ”

Ye Fanggu sneered and said: "It's not interesting, you know in your heart, what is the purpose of my busy work all afternoon and all night, it turned out that Bo Jia laughed, the little county lord is really pitiful, if she knew about it, she would not know how to be sad." ”

Song Nan frowned and said, "It's not at all what you think, the princess and the emperor are going skiing, can I disobey the order?" People love and reward me, but am I still not able to turn it away? ”

Ye Fanggu said: "Listen to this to the little county lord, our sisters don't care about your affairs." ”

Song Nan scratched his head and said, "It's really not what you think, Qingli, you are the most well-behaved, don't believe your cousin's words." ”

Lu Qingli grinned and said, "I only look at the facts, why do I reward these things for no reason?" ”

Song Nan was depressed, brushed his sleeves and left, not wanting to get entangled in this matter, and Ye Fanggu sighed leisurely behind him: "It's okay now, our family is going to become a concubine mansion." ”

Song Nan almost vomited blood, and went back to the inner house to bed in a huff to be covered with his head, and sulked.

……

In the Xinuan Pavilion of Cining Palace, Princess Kangning leaned on the pillow and squinted, recalling the hot kiss with Song Nan today, two red clouds rose on her face, and her heart was also sweet.

The sound of footsteps, Kang Ning opened his eyes and saw the female official Hongyu entering the warm pavilion, and hurriedly got up and said, "Did you send it?" ”

Hongyu smiled: "Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu has already sent it." ”

"What did he say?"

"Lord Song seems to be a little surprised, he looks very dumbfounded, but Lord Song is really a talent, and the slave maid thought that the officials of the Jinyi Guard were all fierce with horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, but I didn't expect Lord Song to be a handsome offspring." The female officer grinned.

Princess Kangning covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said softly, "Hongyu, are you quite optimistic about him in this way?" ”

The female official laughed thousands of times, straightened the folds on Kang Ning's body and said softly: "Your Highness, the slave maid thinks it's good, Your Highness's vision is really good, according to the slave maid, it is better to talk to the queen mother sooner rather than later, let the emperor make the decision for His Royal Highness." ”

Kangning blushed and said, "How can there be such a hurry." ”

Hongyu smiled: "Not in a hurry? I heard that Lord Song is nineteen years old, but fortunately he hasn't married a wife yet, I don't know how many people are staring at such people, and it's not good to be snatched away by others. ”

Princess Kang Ning's face was a little solemn and said: "However, Song Nan doesn't seem to like this palace very much, this palace took the initiative today, I don't know what he will think of me." ”

Hongyu said with a smile: "Based on what he thinks, the princess has a golden body, he naturally doesn't dare to say anything, the princess takes a fancy to him and his blessing; I want our princess to look beautiful and beautiful, I don't know how many young people want to climb the dragon and the phoenix, and they are not in the eyes of the princess, they like him, what's the matter? He still doesn't want to make it? ”

Kangning covered his mouth and smiled, "You can't talk like that, isn't that boring?" It's strange to say, why I just like him, and I haven't actually met him a few times, and suddenly I can't erase it from my heart; Hongyu, you tell me, is this palace a nymphomaniac? ”

Hongyu grinned and said: "This is not a nymphomaniac, this is a girl Huaichun, didn't you listen to what the old masters said, my fair lady is good, in the same way, you can also say 'humble gentleman, lady is good', yes or no?" ”

Kangning smiled: "Your mouth is really hopeless." ”

Hongyu said: "The slave maid is also thinking about the princess, the slave maid is serving the princess, and naturally hopes that the princess will have a good support; Didn't you see that Princess Huide and Princess Xianshun of the previous dynasty were married to some half-aged nobles, that was really boring. ”

Kang Ning pondered silently, Hongyu's words were said to her heart, growing up in the palace, these things have been seen a lot, the princess's choice of son-in-law is not the perfection of those hydrangea throwing moves and the like in the paragraph, most of the horses of the Ming Dynasty have become gifts for the courtiers, and they are not handsome people, of course, there is a reason for this.

Kang Ningsheng's beauty, there are not a few people who want to be a colt, but Kang Ning can't look down on it. The girl Huaichun, although she is in the deep palace, her nature is difficult to extinguish, and when Song Nan, a handsome character, appears in front of her, the sprout of love quietly grows in her heart.

Kang Ning naturally knew all the taboos of Lu Dao as a concubine, she knew that Song Nan could not take the initiative to pursue herself, so she chose to take the initiative, she didn't want to waste her youth anymore, as Hongyu said, there would be no store in this village.

But before that, Corning still needs to solve one problem, and that is the many restrictions on horses in the Ming Dynasty; Although the concubine of the Ming Dynasty married the golden branch and jade leaf and became a relative of the emperor, he was in a very embarrassing situation, and the reason was that the grandfather stipulated the three chapters of the strange covenant on the concubine.

First, if it is a horse, the horse and its relatives are not allowed to be officials; This alone is enough to put most people off; Taizu's original intention was not to allow the royal in-laws to interfere in the affairs of the court, which may sound like a crown, but it was overkill, and because of this, except in special circumstances, most of the concubines were forced to become royal relatives and live a life of wealth but powerlessness.

Second, after marrying the princess, the princess does not live in the Horse Mansion or the Princess's Mansion, but needs to live in the Ouchi. This article is simply inhumane, except for the wedding day when the husband and wife are together, the princess needs to live in the palace for the rest of the time, and the princess needs to enter the palace to meet if he wants to live a married life with the princess, and he can only get approval; What's even more strange is that the female officials in the palace are often jealous and difficult, and the female officials who are not nourished cannot see the soul of the concubine and the princess together, and if they do not bribe them, they will refuse to enter the palace; In other words, although the colt married a wife, it is actually the same as not marrying.

Third, concubines are not allowed to take concubines. This article is simply a loss of conscience, and can not live a normal life as a husband and wife, and is not allowed to take concubines, as a concubine, he does not dare to go to the kiln to drink flower wine, it can be said that once he becomes a concubine, he basically becomes an abstinent monk. It is almost conceivable that in the empty room on a cold night, the noble horses have no choice but to vent their anger with handcuffs, and their hearts may be full of regret.

Seeing the lessons of the old princesses in the palace and hearing too much of their grievances in the deep palace, Kang Ning couldn't help but think about his future. The second is to ask the emperor to call the shots and abolish these rules, otherwise, who wants to be such a concubine? Besides, Kangning is never willing to marry the person he likes, but he has to waste time in the palace.

This matter is still in a hurry, first to listen to Song Nan's tone, if he agrees, he will go to the emperor to change the rules, and then he can enjoy the sweet life; Princess Kangning took the initiative to attack, and did not hesitate to despise herself to make Song Nan's relationship with her closer, just because she knew a lot about these things.

And the reason why he sent someone to reward Song Nan was not only to express his affection, but also to reward some things for women with ulterior motives, which was to indirectly show favor to the side room beside Song Nan and lay the foundation for the future, and also to send a signal to Song Nan, that is, even if he became a concubine, he did not have to leave the concubine room.

Kang Ning did almost all the actions and hints she could, but it was a pity that Song Nan didn't understand these at all, because Song Nan didn't think about it at all; And Princess Kangning's intelligence work is not very good, she doesn't know that there is a little county lord in Lu Dao, if she knows that the little county lord and Song Nan have already made a private agreement for life, all the taboos have already been broken between the two, and even the British prince is in a state of acquiescence, I am afraid that a heart will sink into the ice pool.
