Chapter 73: Not Simple Empress Dowager Li

Princess Yongning and Princess Ruian were sent back to the palace in the afternoon, and Empress Dowager Li in Cining Palace was furious when she learned of what had happened in Zhengyangmen from the eunuchs sent by Feng Bao.

"I'm really angry with the mourning family, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the royal family has had such ugly things, you two are really good daughters of the mourning family, the two princesses actually fell in love with a man at the same time, and everyone knew about it.

Especially you Yongning, the "Female Commandments" and "Female Virtues" that you teach you to read on weekdays in the mourning family have all read into the dog's belly, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone to do such immoral things, the children of ordinary families dare not do this, you must know that Princess Yongning still has a marriage contract, you really opened the first case of my Ming Dynasty princess, do you want to learn from Princess Gaoyang of the Tang Dynasty. Yes? It's really a shame to lose the face of the Ming royal family, what face will you have to see your future husband in the future? ”

"It is the daughter's fault that the queen mother forgives her sins. The marriage of the Liang family also asked the queen mother to refuse for her daughter, and the daughter was willing to always accompany the green lantern and worship the Buddha to atone for her sins. Princess Yongning obediently admitted her mistake.

"You can refuse if you say you say no, you know that doing so will not only lose the face of the Ming Dynasty, but also lose the reputation of my Ming Dynasty, how will you let your emperor's brother govern the country in the future? Why did I give birth to such an unfilial daughter as you, I'm really angry and mourning. Mrs. Li reprimanded.

"That's... If the daughter is not filial, she can only apologize with death. Princess Yongning panicked and said sadly.

"What to apologize for with death, bah blah! Sister, what stupid things do you say, what happened to my Ming royal repentance, the surname Liang is an ordinary rich family in Beijing City, let Gonggong Feng send someone from Dongchang to take the marriage book back, and the Liang family will not dare to blow up the thorns.

Sister, you may not know if you are in a coma, but Brother Jian Xiu said in front of everyone that he wanted to marry us, but the emperor's brother agreed, and you have no jokes! Queen Mother, don't scare my sister, hurry up and prepare my dowry, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and next year I will marry Brother Jian Xiu with my sister.

My sister's dowry is ready, but one of mine has not been prepared, I calculate, well, embroidered colorful satin gold dragon robe I want five horses, two pairs of gold inlaid jade grass tendons, two commercial silver phlegm boxes, a green Han jade pen holder, a red sandalwood seat, a green jade bar head tube, a red sandalwood seat, a green jade holding pot, a red sandalwood seat, a Hanyu fairy mountain, an ebony business silk seat, a Han jade goose, a red sandalwood seat, a purple lacquer case, a Han jade chime, a red sandalwood frame with a jade half-bi, a Hanyu half-wall, ivory wood comb ten boxes, boxwood comb twenty boxes, 12 boxes of grates, 20 boxes of big slips, 1 box of brushes, 12 boxes of brushing and tongue... By the way, I also want a colored beaded ferret cape that my sister has,"

Princess Ruian stood up to help Princess Yongning, and then discussed her dowry with Empress Dowager Li at a glance, but she didn't notice that she didn't say a dowry Empress Dowager Li's face was gloomy, and her original face gradually turned into a dark cloud of gray and black, as if a super storm had been brewing.

"Ryan, shut up! Who said that you should marry Zhang Jianxiu? Empress Dowager Li jumped like thunder.

"Brother Emperor." Princess Ryan shrank her petite body in fright.

"Daming has an ancestral royal family that does not marry important ministers, in case relatives mess with politics, your emperor's brother is young and does not understand the rules, and the mourning family as the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty cannot fail to abide by the ancestral system. So Ryan, you don't have to think about your dowry, who else gave you the courage to stand up, kneel down for me! Empress Dowager Li found that Ruian stood up boldly, followed by another angry shout.

Princess Yongning hurriedly pulled the placket of her stubborn sister-in-law's clothes and motioned her to kneel down, so as not to make Empress Dowager Li angry again. The so-called knowing daughter Mo Ruo's mother, also knowing her mother Mo Ruonu. Yongning knows his mother's temperament too well, and usually looks more Buddha-like, but if you really encounter something, the more you argue with her, the more she admits death.

Therefore, the smart Yongning took retreat as advance, took the initiative to admit his mistakes, put himself in a humble place, and said that he was going to commit suicide, but how could Empress Dowager Li be willing to let her own daughter die? On the contrary, it was Princess Ruian's behavior that completely angered Empress Dowager Li and made Princess Yongning feel that this level was not easy.

"I haven't settled accounts with you yet, I really don't see that there are a lot of ghost ideas that people don't have. It's your attention to sneak out of the palace without permission, right? ”

At this time, the Empress Dowager Li was like an angry lion, and the roaring question scared Ryan so much that he didn't dare to raise his head to answer, and the Empress Dowager Li saw that her female threat subdued Ryan, and when her anger subsided slightly, she teased Princess Ryan and said, "What? Dare not do it, why do you not follow the ancestral system with this little courage, and think about marrying Zhang Jianxiu? Yes~~! You mean!. ”

The young man is simple-minded, and his love is fierce, Zhang Jianxiu is the reverse scale in Princess Ruian's heart, Princess Ruian, who was originally frightened by her mother, suddenly raised her head and said to the Empress Dowager Li: "It's my attention, just give a few gold pieces to send those minions who guard the door, where is the ancestral system?" Where are the rules?

Those bullshit ancestral rules were supposed to be shackles to us princesses, how many of those aunts who married out were happy? I just want to marry my favorite brother Jian Xiu, if the queen mother wants me to marry someone else, I'd rather die than give in! ”

Ryan's confrontation completely ignited Empress Dowager Li's anger, and she was so angry that Empress Dowager Li stretched out her right hand and pointed at Princess Ryan's right hand and trembled, "Okay! I'd rather die than give in, come on, bring me a cane! ”

"The queen mother is angry, Sister Ryan is young and ignorant, and I ask the queen mother not to be like her." Princess Yongning advised Empress Dowager Li.

"Let's fight, just kill me, don't let me marry Brother Jian Xiu, Ryan feels that life is better than death, it is better to kill me with a rod." Princess Ruian's stubborn temperament stucked her neck and stared coldly at the Empress Dowager Li, since her husband's death, when had the Empress Dowager Li been so bold, she was suddenly angry.

"What are you doing in a daze, dog minion. Is it the words of the mourning family that are not good? It seems that the few unruly dog minions killed today are not enough lessons, and there are still dog minions who don't know whether to live or die. ”

Empress Dowager Li raised and slapped the attendant next to her, so frightened that the little palace maid Pear Blossom hurried to the side hall to get a rattan cane, Empress Dowager Li was really angry this time, let people hold down Princess Ruian's body, and beat her upright little ass with a rattan cane.

Princess Yongning persuaded her several times, but she failed because Princess An Rui's stubbornness kept contradicting Empress Dowager Li, and finally Princess Ruian couldn't stand the pain and passed out.

Empress Dowager Li hurriedly instructed the little palace maid to ask for a doctor, and when her anger subsided, she naturally felt distressed, after all, it was the meat that fell from her body, and she was still the youngest daughter, and Rui'an's temperament was eighty percent of what Empress Dowager Li herself used to doing, which really hit you, hurt in my heart, and pity the hearts of parents in the world.

"Yongning, but it's the mother's cruelty?" Empress Dowager Li's eyes were red and choked.

"Yongning doesn't blame the queen mother, Yongning knows that it was me and my sister who broke the rules handed down by our ancestors, and we should be punished today!" The clever Princess Yongning naturally knew how to deal with Empress Dowager Li.

"It's still my family's Yongning who is the most sensible, and the mourning family doesn't understand why you would make such an outrageous move today." Empress Dowager Li asked the question she had always wanted to ask in her heart, but Princess Yongning had nothing to hide from her mother, and explained the reason for today's transgression.

"Hey, what is the love of the world, only teach people to promise death! You are the biological flesh and blood of the mourning family, and of course the mourning family hopes that your marriage will be happy and happy, but the ancestral system does not allow it. Of course, the mourning family knows that these ancestors are ruthless and ruthless, sacrificing the happiness of your life in exchange for the long-term peace and stability of the country.

But what do you know? Can the mourners break this rule? No! You know that the mourning family accompanied the first emperor every day like walking on thin ice, cautiously, and how much it cost to sit in this position. Now that this position has been passed to your brother, the power of the Zhang family is huge enough, and it can be said that the current Shoufu Zhang Juzheng is the uncrowned king.

The elixir provided by Zhang Jianxiu of the Zhang family, today in Zhengyangmen, all show that he is a disciple of immortals, who does not want to live forever since ancient times, especially your grandfather Shizong, in order to cultivate immortals, he is even more crazy and even goes to the court, which shows how great the charm of cultivating immortals is. How many of the current Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces don't want to follow Zhang Jianxiu to cultivate immortals?

I also know that the Divine Dynasty Army brought back by Zhang Jianxiu today is majestic and majestic. Even the hundred-battle lion Qi family army did not dare to plunder its edge, if it were not for the loyalty of the Zhang family's father and son, I am afraid that Zhang Jianxiu would be able to add a yellow robe today. But if the two of you marry into the Zhang family again, what kind of height will the prestige of this Zhang family reach?

Even if the father and son of the Zhang family don't want to be the emperor, I'm afraid that the civil and military ministers in the court can't help but push them to the throne, you must know that the dragon's merit is the greatest feat, not to mention that there are immortals here, the situation is not optimistic about our family, and the end of being ousted from the throne is not much better, Yongning, can you bear to watch your own brother not die well? ”

Although Empress Dowager Li was born as the daughter of a mason, she was wise and shrewd, knew how to perceive people's hearts, and discerned the current situation. Otherwise, she would not have fought her way out of the encirclement and became the imperial concubine, and now she has become the most powerful woman in the world with the help of Zhang Juzheng. Even his son, the Lord of the World, the Emperor saw her like a mouse to a cat.

Today, Empress Dowager Li was once again sharp in front of her daughter Yongning, and Princess Yongning, who inherited her mother's seven points, couldn't refute her mother's words, and even felt that her happiness didn't seem to be so important compared to her status.

"Queen Mother, your hard work Yongning understands, Yongning obeys the orders of the Queen Mother!" Princess Yongning obediently stood on the side of the Empress Dowager Li, and the Empress Dowager Li smiled when she heard this: "Among the several children of the mother, you are the most like the mother, your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth sister are all emotional, and the temperament is to follow the first emperor, and the queen mother will be gone in the future, as the eldest father, you will mainly help your brother to watch this position, understand?" Empress Dowager Li said earnestly.

"Queen Mother, don't say that, Queen Mother will definitely live a long life for you. The position of the elder brother is still the queen mother's help! Yongning took Empress Dowager Li's hand and said intimately.

"It's still my family's Yongning who is the most close to the heart of the queen mother, you go out and order the servants who are guarding the door, after the emperor finishes their deliberations, be sure to invite Mr. Zhang and Zhang Guoshi to come to Cining Palace, and the palace will discuss important matters with them." Empress Dowager Li praised Princess Yongning and commanded.

"Queen Mother, why is that?" Princess Yongning asked.

"Although there is an ancestral system, but the queen mother also has a way to achieve both, you are the queen mother's baby daughter, and the queen mother will naturally make you happy!" Empress Dowager Li said confidently, her phoenix eyes full of wisdom and starlight.
