Chapter Seventy-Nine: Seeing the Princess's Concubine

The princess struck the paw that was stretched out on her chest:

"Speak quickly!"

"Of course, it's for the sake of my husband, but I think we'd better not have that sweet water river, you discuss it with your father and change places."

"Isn't it very good there, there are mountains, rivers and grasslands, and the river is still sweet. If you want to change it, change it there, will my father agree? ”

"Did you know that there is a Luyin County (that is, Pingchuan District of modern Baiyin City) and Fuwen County (now Jingyuan), which belong to the Xishou Baotai Military Division of Western Xia, which is a small basin, just on the edge of the Yellow River, where the land is fertile and the water and grass are abundant?"

"I know that isn't it a border town that was fought a few years ago, it's far away from the imperial city, and there are still wars every day, what's so good."

Gao Zhong took out a piece of paper and drew a large map. It's the third princess, Mingzhu has never seen a map.

"You see, this is the Yellow River, we went out of Qingxing Mansion, along the Yellow River, it is Xiping Mansion, he is on the south bank of the river, up is Qingtongxia, and before crossing Qingtongxia is Shaming County. In the southern part of Shaming County, the mountains are the eastern end of Qilian Mountain, at this time, we walk from the valley of the Qingshui River, a tributary of the Yellow River, to the direction of Tongxin County, and walk to the tributary of the Qingshui River, where there is a valley mouth, and from here, you can reach Yuyin County. It's complicated to say, it's only a little more than 400 miles in total, and it only takes a day to ride a horse. Not far from the Imperial City. ”

The eyes of the third princess followed the tip of Gao's pet pen all the way to Yuyin (that is, Pingchuan District of modern Baiyin City).

"The Yellow River also came here from the other side, behind him is the north are mountains, armor mountain, water spring Jianshan, Kara Mountain, Bei Nanquan, Huangjiawa, Quwu Mountain, and the south is the Yellow River valley, Yuyin is a southeast high, northwest low large slope. After walking more than 200 miles, passing through Gaolan, you will arrive at Lanzhou, which is Jincheng, but here are all mountains, and it is difficult to walk. The Yellow River turned a bend in front of him and headed west through Jincheng. ”

"Jincheng is an important transportation artery and commercial port town in the trade route with the Western Regions, and if you control Jincheng, you can control the trade between the entire west and the east. It is now occupied by the Jin State, which is also the westernmost part of the area occupied by the Jin State. And that's about 400 miles to the west. It's our Xining. Lanzhou has fertile land and many products, and it is a place where anyone will drool when they see it. ”

"Two hundred miles east of this Lanzhou is the Dingxi City of Song Zhi, and once it is occupied here, the entire Jincheng area is the paradise of my Xia Kingdom."

"Therefore, there are two advantages to this place, one is that the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and the water and grass are fertile. The second is that it can develop to the south. As for safety, it is well guarded by mountains all around. Much better than the Sweetwater River. ”

"Well, your vision is better than mine, I don't understand anything, I listen to you." The princess didn't understand why Gao Chong had to run to that corner, and she didn't know why Gao Chong was so familiar with this place.

After talking about business, Gao Pet changed the topic:

"I heard that the princess can't sleep with the princess at night, but can only sleep in a small room in front of the princess's room, and the princess wants to drink water, so he has to get up and pour water for her, and the princess wants to relieve his hands and get up to get her the toilet. The princess is not waiting to be recruited, and she can't enter the princess's room yet, so she has to ask the princess for morning and evening every day, isn't that so? ”

"That's generally the case."

"That's still forget it, I can't sleep with a wife yet, what's the point, I won't be this horse master anymore, I will go back to Jiangnan tomorrow."

"You dare!"

"You haven't suffered a loss, I have given a lot of things, and you can marry a good colt again."

"Who wants you to be like this, I'll let you sleep with you every day, anyway, you can do whatever you want, okay?" The third princess held Gao Chong's hand, and the people were already very compromised, but Gao Chong didn't speak.

"If it's inconvenient for me, you can also ask for Xi'er, you can sleep with her, there will be no such a good princess again." The third princess took a big step back, and the third princess also knew that a personal palace maid like Xi'er would generally end up being a concubine of a concubine, which was a matter of course, and it would be like this in the future anyway. But Gao Pet still said slowly:

"I only learned yesterday that there are a lot of rules for being a colt, and I knew that I would lose the competition that day, and I don't know how to be confused by ghosts!"

"With such a beautiful wife in her arms, what is there not to be satisfied with." After speaking, he said something in Gao Pet's ear slightly.

"Is that okay?" Gao Pet was itchy by the third princess, and wanted to try it, but it was still bright outside, and dinner hadn't been eaten yet.

It was said that Na Xi'er went to the kitchen to order the cooking, and only then did she return to the princess's room and heard the princess say her name, and she didn't understand it at first, but after a while she realized what was going on, and she was so ashamed that her face was flushed. Thinking back to the moves I learned with the princess, I must make my uncle happy when the time comes. I became more and more concerned about the marriage of this princess, so my attitude towards those palace maids was much better, and many palace maids didn't know when this Xi'er changed sex, which is a later story.

The third princess is really in love with Gao Chong, and she never thought about what Gao Chong said just now. But if you don't want it now, it doesn't mean that you won't want it in the future, especially when you get older, you care more and more about things, so Gao Pet can't rely on her temperament.

Gao Zhong wanted to talk to the princess well, some things should be better in advance about the three chapters of the law, otherwise it will be really difficult to do in the future. I talked to the princess again, dinner was ready, the main thing was beef and mutton, it was said that it was the diet of the party, but it was some of the practices of the nomads, in this court, although the practice was a little exquisite, but for Gao Pet, it was not a good thing, but a soup made of various wild mushrooms was not bad. Although noodles were invented in the Western Han Dynasty, for more than a thousand years, the research on noodles has not made much progress, and it is far from being as rich as that of later generations.

After dinner and refreshments, everyone talked again, and Gao Pet called the princess back to the room, and said to the princess:

"I came here today because I have something to talk to you about the princess, and I hope you take it seriously."

Seeing the seriousness of Gao Chong's face, the princess also became serious, straightened her body, and said:

"Master Pony, you say, I'll listen."

"Our Gao family is also a big family, with a long heritage, even older than your party's Tuoba clan, I am the son of the Gao family, and now I am the head of the Gao family. When I came out, I was not married or engaged, but I don't know what my mother did in this regard during this time, and I don't know now. If you marry me, you will be my wife, that is, the mother of the Gao family, just like your mother, you have your responsibility in the Gao family, and you have the responsibility to manage the Gao family. The party has the tradition of the party, and the Gao family also has the inheritance of the Gao family. In the Gao family, you are just a wife and a housewife of my high favorite, and you are no longer a princess of the Xia Kingdom, and you need to forget your identity as a princess. What you have to do is learn to be a housewife with my mother and dissolve into the family. ”

"My father died in the battle of Yanmen Pass five years ago, he was killed by the people of the Jin Kingdom, if you become the daughter-in-law of the Gao family, I hope you remember. In Han culture, the hatred of killing the father is not shared. Therefore, it is my responsibility to avenge my father and your daughter-in-law, even if we can't take revenge, you must also remember that there is such a hatred in your heart, tell your son. Forgetting hatred means betrayal, and if the people of the Gao family forget this hatred, then the Gao family is not far from extermination. This is a lesson passed down by our ancestors that was clotted with blood. ”

In Han culture, the daughter-in-law is more important than the daughter, and the various techniques, secrets, and culture of the family can be passed on to the daughter-in-law, but not necessarily to his daughter. Therefore, you can't leak any Gao family's secrets to outsiders, and you can't harm any of the Gao family's interests. Take maintaining the survival and development of the Gao family as your first priority. Even if he sacrifices himself, he must ensure the survival of the Gao family. This is the most fundamental responsibility of the head of a family and a mother. ”

"I'll briefly summarize it for you: first, forget the princess identity and learn to be a housewife; the second is to remember the hatred of the Gao family; The third is to safeguard the interests of the Gao family and never betray it. Think about it, if you can do this, you can be the daughter-in-law of my Gao family, otherwise it will end before we have everything happening, otherwise you will not be happy. ”

After Gao Zhong finished speaking, he sat quietly on the side, waiting for the princess's consideration and results.

The princess hadn't really thought about what might have happened, and she had to think hard about whether she could do it. Before, what she knew, no man told them what they could do and what they couldn't do before they made a decision, only after they got married, they fought unremittingly, some women won and set their own new rules, most people's struggles were ineffective, they couldn't change their fate, their power was too small. Gao pet told himself that those things can be done and those that cannot be done, and that he can't let his own will be. But Gao Pet at least told the princess before and gave her enough respect. In any of these three articles, the interests of an ethnic group are first and foremost considered, and there is no ego in the face of the interests of the ethnic group. Isn't this the case with my father, and doesn't he ask every member of the royal family to do so? Marrying Gao Favor, you have to take the will of the Gao family as your own will, and in Western Xia, your own will can become the supreme will of the Horse Mansion. Because there is the support of the royal power here, can this power reach the Gao family? At least in Gao Chong's confident eyes, he has never seen any fear of the Western Xia royal family, who has this confidence? Those princes and ministers did not have them, and no one else could have them. Jin Guoren? Just like the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, the grandson of the sticky Han, Brother Xie? What else is there besides a little bit of the arrogance of the kingdom? In addition to vulgarity or vulgarity. What do I want, power? Satisfying the desire for man control? Satisfy my vanity? Or a man you like, love and be considerate of yourself? I love him so much, I like him. The princess she didn't think well, she had always gone with the flow, and didn't take such a major issue so seriously, promise him? Don't promise him? Convince him? Threaten him? The princess couldn't think about it, and her mind was in a mess.

"Master Pony, can you let me think about it? I'll tell you the results as soon as possible. ”
