Twenty-four-eight: Mother's life

In the Zhou Dynasty system, the daughter of the Son of Heaven was married by the princess, so the princess was called different from the eldest princess in later generations only as a representative of the generation, and in the Han Dynasty, the princess was the one who respected it, plus the eldest princess, and served the same as the king of Fan

According to Zhang Yan's knowledge, the twelve emperors of the Western Han Dynasty in history, more than 200 years of national ancestry, only the emperor's special decree to crown the eldest princess is Guantao, Pingyang, Weichang, Eyi, Jingwu and the princess of Lu Yuan, and the princess of Lu Yuan has this to know, the status of the eldest princess is noble, only the eldest princess born by the queen of the main palace, or the princess who is very favored by the emperor, is eligible to be crowned

Note: Tears run to the head, here I apologize to everyone, I have been wrong before, Lu Yuan did not exactly seal the eldest princess, but the word Yuan in her title, that is, the meaning of the long princess Yuan is another name for the eldest princess, and the Eastern Han Dynasty dress pious said: "Yuan, long also eats in Lu"

Maybe it's because of the natural blood closeness, and he reacts very keenly to his father, ahh

Although she is the eldest daughter, she has just been born for 100 days, and she has been crowned the eldest princess, which is too grand

"You don't have to worry" Liu Ying looked at his wife's expression and comforted, "This eldest princess is titled, sooner or later, it will be given to me in the spring and autumn twenty-five, and there is only this one daughter, and she will need to rely on her to bring a concubine in the future, and now the eldest princess is sealed, which is not an exaggeration."

On the side, Sang Niang observed the words and took away the eldest princess of Fanyang

The sweet smell of sweet pine incense burned quietly in the corner of the Jiaofang Palace, and after self-production, Zhang Yan ordered this sweet pine fragrance in the east room

“…… It's Ah Yan, you, who have been sitting for two months and recuperating for another month, so far, what did Chun Yujin say? ”

"It's alright"

Her face was a little unnatural, after she gave birth, her figure was naturally a little out of shape, and before she stepped up her exercise to recover, she refused to let Liu Ying get close to her, but she couldn't carry Liu Ying, so she waited for him twice according to the method she did that day, but it was not a long-term solution after all

The heat rushed to the back of her earlobe, Liu Ying hugged her wife's waist from behind, and complained, "I don't know what you're thinking about?" Speaking of which, I haven't seen what you look like, and now at this point, can I still dislike it? ”

By now, she has already been immersed in her own blood, is it a part of her heart that can be dissatisfied with her body?

"Will you just let me do it?" Zhang Yan sneered, and the body in his arms also struggled slightly, but it sounded like his will was not very firm

Liu Ying kissed his wife's red lips, and then suddenly said, "Today, after I summoned a person in the Xuanshu Palace, he asked me to see you."

"Who is it?" A look of curiosity flashed in Zhang Yan's eyes

A smile flashed in Liu Ying's eyes, "If you obey me today, I'll let him in later" The voice was sly

In the Jiaofang Palace, the four corners of the four-top crimson smoke Luo Furong tent slowly hung down

……

After Zhang Yan took a bath, she changed into a blue embroidered lotus pattern robe, and when she saw the twelve colored skirts with jade belts, she smiled and said, "The queen mother is thin enough now, so I really don't need to care too much."

"All nonsense" Zhang Yan glared at her, and a hint of coquettishness flashed in her apricot eyes

She sat on the couch, took a sip of tea, and thought to herself, who was the person who was now seeking to see in the outer palace, who was sacred, so that Liu Ying could feel that she would be happy enough to meet him, so she agreed to exchange his request

Then I heard a rush of footsteps from under the porch, and a voice called, "Sister" also had a slight gasp for breath after running

The teacup in Zhang Yan's hand froze suddenly, raised his head suddenly, and saw that a purple-clothed young man came in from outside where the curtain of the hall was opened, and he couldn't help but call out in a lost voice, "Yan'er"

The person who came was only eleven or twelve years old, his skin was slightly wheat-colored, his face was long, his eyebrows were three or four similar to his own, his eyes were blazing, looking at himself, his expression seemed to be sad and happy, who was not his brother Zhang Yan who had not been seen for several years

Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and bowed down again, "Brother Yan to see the queen mother, wish the mother a long and happy future" raised his head and smiled, revealing a trace of the whiteness of his teeth, which was already a bit of the demeanor of Zhang Ao, the father of the two people

……

"I have been in Luoyang all these years, His Majesty took me out of my home and sent me to study under the Duke of Wu in Henan County and ordered someone to watch, I was not allowed to take the servants to serve, I was not allowed to expose the identity of the Xinping Hou Mansion, and I was not given a penny extra every month except for the necessary food and accommodation expenses."

Zhang Yan mentioned to his sister his life outside the home after leaving his family over the years, and understated it

Zhang Yan was silent for a while, "Then what about you now?" ”

"At first, I was very annoyed with my uncle," Zhang Yan smiled calmly, "I thought he hated me and deliberately embarrassed me, and later, after a year or two, I began to slowly realize my uncle's intentions."

He is the only son-in-law of the Marquis of Xinping, and his biological mother is the noble princess Lu Yuan, who is destined to be pampered since childhood, always attached to his own mother, sister, who can't learn to see the world independently, if the problem goes on like that, maybe, it will gradually come to a fork in the road, and the road ahead is getting narrower and narrower

Ah Weng Zhang Ao may have noticed this problem, but because of Lu Yuan and Empress Dowager Lu, it is difficult to correct it

At this time, Liu Ying, as an uncle, took him out of the splendid wealth and threw him to Luoyang, where no one knew his identity, and let him leave all the aura, study as an ordinary person, face the world, and stumble and grow up after hitting his head and bleeding

"Uncle, he wants me to see what the world is like and how small I am after I get rid of my identity as the prince of the Xinping Marquis Mansion."

Zhang Yan looked at her younger brother who had grown up, and smiled with relief,

"What did you realize all these years later?"

Zhang Yan thought for a while and replied, "Since the fourth year of the previous century, after His Majesty established Taixue outside Chang'an City, Henan County Shouwu Gong was the first to establish a local official school in this county.

His gaze turned to fortitude,

"I know, I am the son of the Marquis of Xinping, and I am destined to inherit the Marquis of Xinping and my mother's food in the future, and Sister You have become the queen again, the eldest princess of Fanyang has been born, in the future, I think there will be a prince in the future, as the head of the Zhang family, I must support your mother and son in the future, only I can stand up, have my own merits, power, in the future, Sister can really stand firm in this Weiyang Palace"

Zhang Yan looked at him with emotion, "Yan'er, you have grown up"

is no longer the willful boy he was back then, and gradually began to have his own opinions and ambitions

After listening to his sister's praise, Zhang Yan felt shy again, smiled suddenly, his face was slightly red, and he inherited the beauty of Xinping Hou, he grew up and became a handsome man

"By the way, you haven't seen your niece yet" Zhang Yan said, "It's easy to come back, you might as well get together more" turned around and instructed Gong Daodao, "Bring the eldest princess of Fanyang over"

Zhang Yan looked at Liu Zhi in swaddling clothes, and felt that he couldn't take his eyes off, and praised from the bottom of his heart, "The eldest princess is very cute"

"Really?" Zhang Yan smiled, "Her breast name is good"

"Okay?"

"Hmm"

"The word good means a son and a daughter, good," Zhang Yan teased, "It looks like you will have a sister and two younger brothers."

"What nonsense?" Zhang Yan said angrily

Zhang Yan just smiled, took out a jade bracelet from his arms, and said, "This is given to you by your uncle."

Zhang Yan stared at this bracelet, although it looked simple and the workmanship was good, the jade material showed a little magazine, which was not a good material

"It's too basic, isn't it?" Zhang Yan was slightly embarrassed and wanted to take the bracelet back.

"This is me copying documents for others, and the wages I earn buy it are just a little shabby after all, so after all, I am the eldest princess, where can I wear such an inferior thing"

"Who said that" Zhang Yan stopped him and said with a smile, "The gift is not about the value, but about the heart, in my opinion, this congratulatory gift from the palace, you, as an uncle, are one of the best sincere" took the jade bracelet in Zhang Yan's hand and put it on his daughter's hand

Zhang Yan laughed comfortably

"Yan'er,—— come back this time, do you want to go back to Luoyang?"

"Nature"

When it came to business, Zhang Yan smiled and said, "The teacher's learning and character are very good and exemplary, these years, I have studied under him, and I have benefited a lot from this trip, and I also asked for leave in the name of my mother's birthday, and after a few days, I will go back to Luoyang."

A few years ago, when Yan'er first left, she cried and played, just to not leave her mother and herself

After all, the young eagle needs to leave the shadow of his parents in order to see the vastness of the world outside, so he opens his eyes, but as a relative who is left behind, he still feels a little lost

"What do you see in Luoyang? Why don't you tell your sister."

"Hmm" mentioned Luoyang, who had been staying for a few years, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up, and he said eloquently, "Although Chang'an is the imperial capital, Luoyang is also very prosperous, I selfishly feel that it is not much worse than Chang'an Until now, I am more familiar with Luoyang than Chang'an, Chang'an is surrounded by mountains, but Luoyang is a plain......"

……

"That's right," on this day, when it came to the future, Zhang Yan suddenly remembered and mentioned to his sister with great interest, "I have a classmate named Jia Yi, who is very interesting."

Jia ...... Friendship? Zhang Yan repeated the name slowly, her voice slightly surprised

"Yes," Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Sister probably hasn't heard of him, although he is the same age as me, he is a very talented person, and he is a good friend of me, and if my sister has the opportunity to meet in the future, she will definitely like it."

"Really?" Zhang Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, noncommittal

"Hmm" Zhang Yan said, "I always feel that a character like him will definitely come to Chang'an in the future if he wants to become prime minister, and my sister will know it then."

"Maybe"

No matter how many words there are between sisters and brothers, after all, there is also a time to part, when he leaves the Jiaofang Palace, Zhang Yan looked back at his sister, and stopped talking

"Sister,"

……

"Now I agree with your opinion, when it comes to being an uncle, Your Majesty is a very good elder," he looked at his sister, his eyes were serious and a little stubborn,

What about him as your husband?

Now, he has gradually grown up, understood some things that he didn't understand when he was younger, walked out of the role of the attached sister, and saw his own world, and the heavy responsibility on his shoulders

However, he still pitied Sister A's fate

I always remember that back then, when Sister A had just married Liu Ying, she occasionally returned to the Hou Mansion from Weiyang Palace to live, and when she carried people behind her back, there was a sad look in her eyes

Zhang Yan was stunned, so she bent her apricot eyes and smiled brightly,

"My sister is fine now."

In the cradle on the side, babbling and waving her arms, Zhang Yan picked up her daughter, "The road is all on my own, I have a good now, with your uncle's love and pet support, I can already feel that my heart is very stable by my uncle's side, and I feel very happy now."

……

September 18 of this year is Princess Lu Yuan's thirtieth birthday

Zhang Yan was a little embarrassed

Thirty years old, in his previous life, he can still be said to be young, but in this era, Lu Yuan already has even a granddaughter, speaking of which, he can be regarded as an old woman

Because there is still the elder Empress Lu above, Princess Lu Yuan's birthday was not carried out in a big way, but just held a birthday banquet in the Xinping Marquis Mansion and invited some relatives to participate

On this day, the emperor and Empress Zhang brought the eldest princess of Fanyang, who had just completed 100 days, to the Xinping Marquis Mansion to congratulate

Note: This paragraph does not count as a word count:

Today, I studied the six eldest princesses of the Western Han Dynasty, Lu Yuan, who was crowned emperor after Liu Bang became emperor, and then married Zhang Ao; Guantao is the daughter of Emperor Wen, born when Emperor Wen was the acting king, it is said that Emperor Jing named this sister as the eldest princess, to the period of Emperor Wu, honored as the eldest princess, because of the heavy maternal line in the early Han Dynasty, also known as the Dou Taizhu; Princess Pingyang is said to be the eldest princess between the second marriage and the third marriage, it is said that Liu Che felt that this sister was compensated for several unfortunate marriages, and after the eldest princess, she quickly married Wei Qing; Princess Eyi was named the eldest princess for raising Emperor Zhao, and in the Wudi Dynasty, this princess was unknown and Princess Jingwu was said to be from Xu Pingjun

The only thing that is possible to be crowned the eldest princess at birth is Princess Wei, this is the first daughter of Emperor Wu, and the first child that Emperor Wu got when he was nearly thirty years old, is Liu Che's favorite daughter, the fief is a salt producer, very rich, it can be seen from the fief that Liu Che loves this daughter Wei Chang, it is said to be the abbreviation of the eldest princess of the Wei family, in fact, I am not very sure whether she was born as the eldest princess, because the queen at that time was still, I don't know whether to tolerate it, and whether there is strength to oppose Liu Che at that time

The eldest princess in the Western Han Dynasty, whose status was higher than that of the princes and kings, was the post-Lu period that could be passed on to his son, and Lu Yuan's son Zhang Yan inherited his mother's food, saying that King Lu and Guantao's second son Chen Chan, "the eldest princess is the son, and the marquis of Feng Long"

Our good was born to be the eldest princess, is Liu Yingyi's strong advocacy of the princess of the Han Dynasty, not the eldest princess can be crowned the eldest princess, if there is no mistake in the previous princess Tao for Emperor Jing, in the period of Emperor Wen, the eldest daughter of the pavilion Tao, but still did not get the special seal of the eldest princess According to Ah Yan's idea, the eldest princess should be able to get it, but the normal procedure should be to wait for the seal before marriage, or, when the next half-brother takes the throne
