Chapter XVII

When Mrs. Li saw Jiu Niangzi in the school again, she was also a little surprised, and after understanding what Jiu Niangzi meant, she deliberately opened a small stove for Jiu Niangzi in her daily class.

This small stove mainly talks about the affairs of the harem before and after the dynasties, especially the experience of the princes. Mrs. Li also implicitly mentioned the Zhaolie Crown Princess of the previous dynasty, suggesting that Lu Bingzhen himself went to find out the wild history to understand the life of the Zhaolie Crown Princess.

Lu Bingzhen didn't understand what Mrs. Li meant at first, she was a person who read poetry and books, and she didn't know much about the crown princess of the previous dynasty, and it seemed that the history books deliberately covered up the existence of this crown princess.

It wasn't until Lu Bingzhen repeatedly looked through various history books that he understood why Mrs. Li hinted to her to get to know Crown Princess Zhaolie.

In Lu Bingzhen's opinion, this Zhaolie Crown Princess is really a strange woman.

In the previous dynasty, Princess Zhaolie was born in a prominent family like Lu Bingzhen, and was the daughter of the Lanling Chen family, the head of the family, and even in that era when the family and the royal family shared the world, Princess Zhaolie's background was more noble and prominent than Lu Bingzhen, and she was the most noble lady in the world.

In the hunting ground of the autumn hunt, the former crown princess Zhaolie and the former prince Zhaolie fell in love at first sight. Princess Zhaolie is as open as a cluster of fireworks, and Prince Zhaolie is as gentle as jade, and the two have opposite temperaments but are very compatible. Princess Zhaolie dared to love and hate, but she broke the convention that the daughter of the family did not enter the East Palace and married Prince Zhaolie.

This crown princess Zhang Yang, who dared to love and hate, had miscarriages one after another in the six years she entered the palace. At the same time, the East Palace successively brought in several side concubines Liangdi, and even added several little emperors and grandsons and little county lords.

Princess Zhaolie is not stupid, she is the daughter of the family, and soon found out that it was her husband, who looked gentle as jade, who was the obstruction. Where could she endure this, and directly stabbed the matter in front of her.

Unexpectedly, the former Prince Zhaolie actually asked the crown princess with a sneer, "So what?" Lone has long borrowed you to unite with the Lang Chen family. The Lanling Chen family has long been disappointed in you, and after they promised them to ascend to the top of the Wang clan, they gave up on you directly, and now what can you do with an orphan girl? “

Later, Princess Zhaolie, who was thought to have no power to fight back, actually united with the prince's brother and simply overthrew Prince Zhaolie's position as prince.

That night, after Prince Zhaolie went out to defend against the enemy, Princess Zhaolie let the kitchen boil a pot of highly poisonous soothing soup, and drank a full bowl with all the side concubines in the East Palace, Liangdi, and several little emperors, grandsons, and county lords, cutting off all the back roads of Prince Zhaolie.

Later, Prince Zhaolie was killed, and he had no heirs, and he was pretended to be canonized as Prince Zhaolie by other brothers who ascended the throne. As for the Zhaolie Crown Princess Chen, she was used as evidence and mascot by the new monarch who ascended the throne to treat the former prince well, and she was honored in the newly built Zhaolie Prince's Mansion.

As for her mother's family, who stood by and watched, Princess Zhaolie did not take matters into her own hands. Perhaps for her, the Lanling Chen family is still the maternal family that gave birth to her and raised her, but Princess Zhaolie did not help the maternal family implicated by Prince Zhaolie, but only returned the favor in her own way.

At this point, the Lanling Chen family fell silent from the family, and the Lanling Chen family had become a small family in a peaceful place when the dynasty opened. And Crown Princess Zhaolie lived a privileged retirement life after that coup. Until after the fall of the previous dynasty, the princess Zhaoyeol, who was over 70 years old, was nowhere to be found, and it is said that she lived in seclusion on Zhongnan Mountain.

After closing this page of wild history, Lu Bingzhen sat quietly under the lamp, silently thinking about the deep meaning of Mrs. Li.

"Could it be that Mrs. Li thought that I was forced by my family to marry into the East Palace, and I had no support behind me like the Zhaolie Crown Princess Chen, who broke with her mother's family. Mrs. Li, did this ask me to follow the example of the former crown princess Zhaolie in case I was cornered? ”

Lu Bingzhen smiled slightly, only feeling that he would not be forced into a desperate situation like Princess Zhaolie, but it did seem to have given him a reassurance.

After sighing in his heart again, Princess Zhaolie was indeed a strange woman who dared to love and hate, and Lu Bingzhen saw Rongxue bring a deer antler lingzhi soup.

Rongxue persuaded in a low voice, "Jiu Niangzi, you have to go to the girls' school again during the day, and you have to listen to the teachings of the four grandmothers, and you have been studying at night until now, why don't you rest after drinking deer antler soup." ”

After that, Rongxue heard Jiu Niangzi sweep away the depression of the previous few days, and said with a smile, "I know, Rongxue." I've been in a bad mood these days, and you and Bing are also very thoughtful, so I must be tired. Tomorrow let's pick a piece of satin to make a dress. ”

Bing Bing and Xue Rong were all smiling when they heard this, not for the satin that was rewarded, but because they could know from these words that their little lady wanted to enter the East Palace.

In the past few days, although my little lady didn't say anything, but as the people around the little lady who grew up, how could they not see that the little lady was just trying her best to stay calm in front of Mrs. Li and the four grandmothers.

In fact, both of them saw that the little lady was clearly at a loss about the days of marrying into the East Palace. And because there is no precedent for a girl from a family to enter the East Palace, the little lady can't even find a reference.

Although the two of them don't know why today, in their hearts, as long as the little lady is relaxed and happy.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Bingzhen went to listen to the teachings of several grandmothers after freshening up. Coincidentally, it was Mama Feng specially sent by the queen mother who came today, and I heard Mama Feng introduce many things in the palace unhurriedly.

His Majesty has been on the throne for decades, and the queen mother and His Majesty are young couples, with a very strong friendship, and have two sons and a daughter, but unfortunately the eldest son born when he was in the palace died early, and the second son is now His Royal Highness the Prince. As for the daughter, she is the fifth princess and is named Changle.

As for the Queen Mother, she is the mother of Her Majesty, and now she is in the Rongshou Palace with peace of mind, dedicated to worshipping the Buddha, and does not ask about the world.

Now there are six princes who have grown up in the palace, namely His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince, the Ninth Prince, and the Tenth Prince, and the Eleventh Prince.

The biological mother of the sixth prince is not visible, and she has long since died. Therefore, after the sixth prince was named King Yu, he has been quietly and steadily receiving an inconspicuous idle position in the Ministry of Industry, and he is a rich and idle king.

The biological mother of the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Emperor Prince was the daughter of the illustrious Duke of Ningguo, Gu Guifei. Ning Guogong is one of the heroes who supported the current His Majesty's accession to the throne, and his daughter Gu was also canonized as a concubine shortly after His Majesty entered the palace after his accession to the throne, and gave birth to two sons in the next few years.

According to Mama Feng's vague hints, this Gu Guifei almost replaced the queen mother in the back seat, but for some reason she finally failed. To this day, Gu Guifei and the queen mother are also incompatible, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

And the Seventh Prince is also deeply favored by His Majesty, and there is not much difference in age from His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is very ambitious, wanting to replace His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as the prince of the East Palace. And His Majesty's heart also seems to be biased towards the Seven Princes, which can be seen from the Seventh Prince's acceptance of the title of King Ning. King Ning is the title of His Majesty before he ascended the throne, and His Majesty's canonization of the Seven Princes as King Ning seems to be particularly meaningful.

The Nine Emperors are not as strong as the Seventh Princes, he is five years younger than the Seventh Prince, and eight years younger than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. At a young age, he is just a young son who can be pampered at will in the eyes of His Majesty.

However, there have never been real children in the harem, and the Nine Emperors often rely on their young and favored to pretend to be innocent and want to embarrass His Royal Highness the Prince, but every time he is blocked back by His Royal Highness the Prince.

As for the tenth prince and the eleventh prince, they are not yet five years old, and they are all born to unfavored little concubines. The mother of these two little princes still relied on giving birth to a prince before they barely squeezed into the position of the nine concubines, which shows that they are not favored.

As for the princesses, Gu Guifei does not have a princess, so except for the five princesses born by the queen, the other princesses do not have a very prominent mother's family. Most of them are either attached to the queen or to Gu Guifei.

Mama Feng's words were so pointed, but Lu Bingzhen got a glimpse of the swords and swords in the court. didn't have time for Lu Bingzhen to think carefully about the meaning of these words, so Onyx entered Liuchunwu with a bunch of things.

Seeing that it was a private conversation between mother and daughter, Mama Feng said goodbye with interest, and Lu Bingzhen instructed Mama Feng to send Mama Feng back before hearing Onyx's jubilant voice.

"Nine Niangzi, there is still a month left before your birthday. Mrs. said that this is your first birthday in the capital, so you must do it big. Madame asked me to bring some satin jewelry for you to cut your new clothes. Madame also said that you would like to invite those close friends to the banquet. ”

Thinking of the four words of a close friend in the boudoir, Lu Bingzhen fell into deep thought.

When Lu Bingzhen was out with his parents in various places, he was either studying, or helping to run free clinics, and even raising funds for disaster relief and establishing a regular liquidation.

Therefore, most of the daughters of officials at that time maintained a respectful and supportive attitude towards her, but few people were willing to make friends with her, a lady who was different from ordinary people.

As for after returning to Beijing, Lu Bingzhen only went out four times, namely two palace banquets, Shangyuan Festival and Shangsi Festival. It's a pity that I didn't make any friends on these four trips.

Although on the Shangyuan Festival, Lu Bingzhen had a relationship with several little ladies of the Taiyuan Wang family, and they were very happy at that time. But after the marriage with Wang Jian, the seventh lang of the Wang family, Lu Bingzhen also felt a little embarrassed to meet the little ladies of the Wang family again.

After a rough calculation, Lu Bingzhen sadly found that it seemed that except for the sixth and seventh cousins from her hometown, she really didn't have any good close friends.

However, even if Lu Bingzhen thinks that she has no close friends, she is now a hot future princess. There are many people who want to have a relationship with her.

By the time Lu Bingzhen had been around for a few days before his birthday, gifts from various families in Beijing had already filled the warehouse in Liuchunwu, and the Li family had to pack up a place from his private treasury to house these things. And most of these things, Lu Bingzhen didn't even read the gift list, but just ordered the melting snow to be properly placed.
