Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 864 Marriage
In February in the south of the Yangtze River, the spring is bright and beautiful, and the cold and cold tide in Jinling in winter has completely receded.The warm sunlight shines through the curtains and veils, and reflects on a mature, graceful and charming face. The light makes Pan Jinlian's fair and delicate skin, which is nearly forty, glow with a hazy golden layer.

38 years old.

Pan Jinlian was the oldest woman in Lu Qian's harem.

Even in the 21st century, this is also an age to retreat to the second line, let alone this era.

But what did you say about Lu Qian before?This is a long-lasting person.Unknowingly, they have already used tricks and wasted some experience points. Although it is impossible to keep Pan Jinlian and the others in good looks for a long time, it can at least delay some aging time.

"Your Majesty..." the maids called softly.Pan Jinlian washed and changed her clothes, and then watched the maids fiddling with her head.

"Your Majesty, will this... be a little plain?" One person hesitated for a while, and finally chose to speak.

Pan Jinlian stroked her temples, Suqing?Su Qing is good.Clean the elements today. "It's not good at this age to refuse to obey the old. You have to be the age of a grandmother. How can it be compared to those younger generations who are young and tender? This palace should also avoid this generation and go out."

A woman at such an age is completely different from her girl self.

In terms of literature and art, they are not too lingering like roses, not too young like lotus flowers, they have become mature, independent and full of style, restrained, graceful and reserved.There will be no jerkyness like when you were a mother in your early 20s, and no oldness like middle-aged children and grandchildren.

To put it more realistically, their attention has shifted from Emperor Lu to their children.Emperor Lu's position in their hearts had already retreated from number one to number two.For them now, their children are the most important thing.

After more than ten years of getting along with each other, even if there is love, it has been exhausted long ago, and what is left is more warmth and family affection.

This is because Emperor Lu secretly used tricks for them, otherwise women in their 30s would be standard middle-aged women in this era.They themselves will take the initiative to retreat to the second line and stop competing for favor.

If you don’t believe me, if you look at the harem of a great artist, the favored concubines are all over in their twenties or early thirties, and those who have not died after the age of thirty are also relegated to the second line.

The emperor just came to sleep thinking about his old love, so how likely is it that he would actually do a big fight?There are beautiful little ladies everywhere in the palace, meeting the old lady, pulling up the quilt and chatting, recalling the past, talking about the children, this is the correct way to open up.

In this era of getting married as a teenager, and in this era before hyaluronic acid, facelifts and other methods have appeared, the shelf life of women is really shorter than in the 21st century. This is also an indisputable fact.

Emperor Lu's current performance is already good, the old and the new are alike.

Moreover, he has really kept his own law and order for several years, and only after ten years in Hongwu did he recruit a few newcomers one after another.

This is not only from a physical and psychological point of view, but also from practical considerations.How does he, who is nearly fifty years old, declare his health to the outside world?But only the newborn sons and daughters.

This is the cruelty of politics, and it is also the cruelty of the harem. This is the correct way to open the harem.

Lu Qian is really good, at least he didn't hang up his heart, didn't he?
Watching the palace dramas of the later generations, there are always scenes where the old man guides the newcomer to compete with others with tears in his heart but a smile on his face, but the reason behind it is more cruel and ruthless.

Also, don't talk to him about love.For a time traveler like him, the word love is really a luxury.In other words, in the ancient Chinese social environment, the word love is really a luxury.

In line with Chinese society and culture, the most suitable way for a husband and wife to get along is to raise their eyebrows and respect each other as guests.As for what kind of love is so deep that it will not change until death, that is very rare.At least not with this book.

And now the first seven concubines in the harem, with the secret support of the Emperor Lu, relying on their excellent background, still firmly control the first echelon of the palace's favor, this is the "long love" of the Emperor Lu.Otherwise, how could the few concubines who had been brought into the harem by Emperor Lu in recent years, even though they were young and beautiful, still just obediently bow their heads and be small in front of the old seniors?
But none of this can conceal the fact that children have increasingly occupied their bodies and minds.

Human emotions are limited, just like human energy.The more transferred to the sons and daughters, the less will be poured into the Emperor Lu.Especially Pan Jinlian and Cheng Wan'er.The former has a slim girl, and the latter has a baby son who is about to grow up.

Choosing a son-in-law for his daughter and a wife for his son, from last year to this year, the performance of the two has become more and more leaky.

Summoning wives from foreign courts is more frequent than Fang Jinzhi. It's not that everyone knows the reason behind it, and the custody in the harem will cause a big disturbance.

While combing Pan Jinlian's long hair, the court lady looked at the young beauty in the mirror, her mouth tightly pursed: No matter how blessed the imperial concubine is, she is almost forty years old, and the crow's feet It's all over the corners of my eyes.Unlike the concubines and daughters who just came in from the palace, whether they are from the Central Plains, Japan, Korea, India, or Southeast Asia, they are all as fresh as narcissus bones...

Now Pan Jinlian has a clean and virtuous attire... The maid sighed inwardly.Also, it's time to step aside.

At the age of 40 years younger, Hugh said that she is in the royal family, that is, ordinary officials and rich gentry's family. At this age, the mistress of the house has also reached the time to 'self-cultivate her character'.How can you keep the emperor's heart when you are gone?

Seventh Concubine herself is well aware of this.At any rate, they all have princes and princesses by their side, which is much, much better than those concubines who fell out of favor in the harem.

Zhao Fujin grew up in the court from a young age, and knew how huge her father's harem was.There are only 20 concubines and female officials with titles, and it is unknown how many untitled court ladies.

The concubine who fell out of favor dared to bully even the servants.

That's why the children in the harem are so precious. If there is no prince, it would be good to have a princess.

Wrinkles were already showing on Pan Jinlian's face, even if she didn't notice the favor, it was indeed time to retire.

It took me half an hour to comb my hair, plus the accessories, and it took an hour for everything to come down.This is because Lu Qian hosted Lin Chong and Xu Ning for a banquet today, and Fang Jinzhi, the master of the harem today, will be unwell, so at noon, Emperor Lu will drink with Lin Chong and Xu Ning in front, and Pan Jinlian will accompany him. Follow Lin and Xu to have a meal and talk in the back.

But in reality?Isn't it obvious that this is a meeting between parents?It's just that Emperor Lu is more powerful, and he met the two parents at once.

Whether it's the only son of the Lin family or the eldest son of the Xu family, this is Lu Qichao's first-class family background.

The two young men are good-looking and have good character. There are quite a few sons of rich and powerful families in Jinling City who are wandering around the Qin Tower and the Chu Pavilion.Lin Xuerlang is obviously different from those people.The two of them were also quite accomplished in martial arts, but they both studied liberal arts rather than martial arts.The apparent reason for the two families is that their children have few roots and are reluctant to leave the military affairs behind.What is the reality?Just to avoid suspicion.

Lao Tzu is the founding general of the country with great achievements. If the son still follows the route of the army, he will have a solid foundation in the army.It's a bit ugly.From Liu Han to Zhu Ming, among the children of the famous founding generals of the Han Dynasty, how many of them are heroes of Lao Tzu, who are better than blue?
This reason can't be said on the surface, but Lin Chong and Xu Ning let their son do it at the beginning. Wenlu, martial arts and boxing, one is not to let the family's martial arts be lost, and the other is to let the son strengthen his body.

And after this second generation, when it comes to the third generation, there is no need to tie their own hands and feet like this.But to have grandchildren, they must first have a daughter-in-law, right?
Finally, Pan Jinlian looked in the mirror and looked at the graceful beauty in the mirror, she was finally dressed. "Go. Let's go to His Majesty."

The Lin family and the Xu family are the best choices.With power, family status, and good children, Pan Jinlian would never be dissatisfied with any family.This marriage will be of great benefit to Lu Jin's future.

And she was very clear in her mind that Emperor Lu was all about marrying his old brothers from the past.Not only to marry the daughter, but also to marry the daughter-in-law...
