After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Xie Julang, Xie Qing, who is as famous as Xinsu-kun for his beauty, is the eldest son of Mrs. When Xie Qing was young, he often stayed with his mother in Zhaoyang Palace, so he was very close to his aunt, Mrs.

Most of those words were just expressing ambitions - what they expressed was that Shi Cheng was his own ambition. Although Xie Qing and Shi Cheng were very similar, their ambitions were different. No, Xie Qing believed that he was just interested. Very unambitious.

Therefore, Xie Qing decided not to listen carefully to Shi Cheng's words, but Shi Cheng's attitude this time was very different from before.

"Linmao, I know you are a person who only wants to be free and happy. You were born into a well-dressed family like Chenjun Xie, so you can naturally be carefree and spend your life studying the principles of Qingxuan. But you have someone you care about, right? You don't I'm willing to fight for power, but your elders are already involved."

Xie Qing knew that many of his relatives and even brothers were already in the game, but he still didn't think that he should "join the game". Until after sending Shi Cheng away, he kept tossing and turning. He couldn't forget what Shi Cheng had done. Although he is a son of an aristocratic family, he should not be arrogant because of his family background. Shi Cheng firmly believes that in order to maintain the rule of China, all non-commissioned officers must defend the king. He used a sad tone to criticize those powerful families who enslave the people and only care about their own power. He said that the family will not The people are regarded as subjects, no matter how honorable they are, it is nothing more than a castle in the air, and even the aristocratic family attempts to influence the inheritance of the throne. Seeing that the disaster of the imperial family's feud is imminent, and the disaster caused by the chaos of the nine kings, the mourning has not yet stopped.

Xie Qing finally realized why he was panicking.

He vaguely understood that his little aunt was already standing in the battle between Chu and Chu.

He also heard his mother mention that his grandfather seemed to want his eighth cousin to marry King Langyi's son.

"Why did grandfather bother to do this?" Xie Qing regarded the marriage between the two surnames as superfluous.

His mother was stunned for a moment and wanted to sigh, but she averted her eyes. However, it was his eldest mother who seemed to be very pleased that he finally knew his sorrow, and specifically said something - The royal family of Langyi, at least in the Duke of Langyi The generation in power takes it as their duty to be loyal to His Majesty, especially after Wang Wuniang entered the palace, she did not compete for concubines and would rather be the middle daughter. Some things may not go as she wishes. We, Chenjun Xie, are different from Jiangdong He and Changping Zheng. We could have been neutral. However, if we can fight, of course we cannot let our political opponents deprive us of our power. These are troubled times. If we don’t take precautions, I’m afraid we won’t be able to win in Langyi in the future. The Wang family can enjoy the chance to escape unscathed.

"Then, don't you care about your aunt?"

"I have been advising Madam not to be too stubborn."

Xie Qing didn't hear the sigh from his mother's mouth, but from his great mother's mouth: "Even I didn't have much confidence at first, but your aunt... has always been very strong, regardless of her family background or talent. , are better than many people. If it weren't for the fall of Luoyang and being forced to cross south, the family would have been in crisis. How could your aunt be sent to the palace and be subordinated to others.

There are some things that you cannot blame your aunt for, such as Queen Yu. If she does not lose her position, she will not tolerate your aunt in the future. Others will confront you first, and no one is willing to stand by and wait for the kill. If you can fight, you should fight, but you I'm afraid my aunt did it knowing she couldn't do it.

Fortunately, Wang Wuniang is in the palace after all, and I believe in her. She will keep your aunt safe no matter what. With her always by your side to persuade her, I feel that no matter how bad things get, the situation will not really be... that sad. the point. "

"Shimu actually believes in Wang Wuniang so much?" Xie Qing was very surprised.

His eldest mother rarely smiled, but now she smiled: "After the child entered the palace, the madam stopped tit-for-tat with the queen. I thought the madam was forbearing, but it turned out to be nothing like that. Madam said, five What her mother did didn't worry her at all. She knew the queen would suffer a lot, so she couldn't be angry.

Madam is now in a much more cheerful mood than before. It was clear that her plan had not made any progress at all. As soon as I reminded her to be wary of Concubine Qiao, she actually said she had been wary of her for a long time. After the emperor divorced her and entered the palace, he did not instigate his wife to make enemies. His friendship with concubine Jian, concubine Shi, etc. even got further. I haven't seen her so open-minded in many years. Liu Niang is my biological daughter. , I told Liu Niang to comfort Madam more, and Liu Niang would definitely do her best, but she always failed to get the point. I don’t believe in Di Xiu now, who else can I trust? "

Xie Qing heard that the Grand Mother called Yingshu, first she called her Wang Wuniang, then Wuniang, and then she called her by her name directly. He recalled and recalled, but he could only recall a cute little girl, staring at him, After a while, he came over to hold his hand and shook his arm. As soon as he rolled his eyes, the pair of black grapes disappeared.

"Brother Xie, please take me to play."

That was the first time Xie Qing met Yingshu. In Zhaoyang Palace, he was a little disgusted with the little girl, just like he disliked his elders who always pinched his face. He couldn't talk well, but he was so reserved when he came up. Well, politeness, why do everyone like him so much?

Xie Qing felt that Yingshu only knew how to act like a spoiled child, and the great mother-in-law must have been deceived.

But what makes him depressed is that he is now a seventeen-year-old young man. It is impossible for his maternal uncle to go to Zhaoyang Palace to see his aunt directly, let alone stay in Zhaoyang Palace for a while. Among all the princes, he is the only one who still has The fifth prince is the one who is considered acquainted. You can't ask the fifth prince to remind your aunt and ask your aunt to be careful about the fifth prince's biological mother and stay as far away from Concubine Qiao as possible, right?

Xie Qing focused his attention on his sister.

As soon as she was asked to enter the palace, Xie Shiniang became anxious. She picked up her skirt and ran away. She hid behind a banyan tree and stuck her head out. She was ready to continue running at any time, and her eyes were full of tears: " Brother, don't take me into the palace. I won't be able to sleep when I go to Zhaoyang Palace. If I can't sleep, I will cry and cry loudly. Brother, if you want to catch me into the palace, I will hate you to death. I will let Yuyi follow you. I'll pull the hook and make Yuyi not say a word to you!"

Xie Qing:......

Hagoromo is his maid, and the younger sister actually threatens him with Hagoromo! Wait, isn't it terrible that Hagoromo won't talk to him? It's not scary at all, why should he be threatened?

Xie Qing, who was already at the end of his game, could only keep a close eye on what was going on in Pingyi's residence. He had a simple concept - if the whip could not reach the inner court, then he should always be ready to whip those who could.

With this attention, I heard a lot of gossip.

As one of the most handsome men in Jiankang City, Xie Qing is well-known in the circle of ladies. Unlike Lord Xinsu who openly lets women throw fruit into the car, Xie Qing is not even willing to accept the sachet, but this cannot be said to be unapproachable. Women, on the contrary, all the maids around him are as beautiful as gods, and even the boy servants who pull his carriage must be beautiful and have beautiful eyebrows.

Moreover, Xie Qing also has a confidant. This confidant is a woman. She comes from a wealthy family, but she is now a widow. Her fiancé died unexpectedly before she got married. There is no etiquette in Dayu that forces women to guard the widows, but this one The woman voluntarily became a widow, not because she was loyal to her fiancé, whom she had never met before, but because she just did not want to get married. And her father was a famous man, and he had no intention of forcing his daughter to marry someone else in order to seek glory and wealth. Since he could " "It's not legal to get married, so we just postpone it."

The world is very tolerant to famous people, but it is even more tolerant to the daughters of famous people.

Therefore, although Xie Qing made a confidante, not many people slandered the confidante. Most of them were busybodies who wanted to see the confidante in order to understand Xie Julang's "taste". Of course, these busybodies They are all women. The "widowed" woman has become very busy because of Xie Qing. Sometimes even her father is annoyed and throws her home and goes to live in the mountains to enjoy peace and quiet.

Xie Qing's confidante's real surname is Xue, but because she wanted to be a "legally" widow, she was naturalized into her husband's family. Her "predecessor" was surnamed Li, so she regarded herself as Li Nvjun. Although she actually still lived in her natal family, she even No wedding took place.

Not only in Dayu, in fact, since ancient times, unmarried men and women who died young have not been allowed to enter the tomb of their ancestors. When their children are alive, their parents regard them as treasures, but once their children die young, their parents are extremely afraid of their children's souls - because the world generally believes that children who have not lived until their full life expectancy are Those who die young always have resentments in their hearts, but if they are married, the deceased who has children will at least not complain about their parents. After their death, they can be buried in their ancestors' tombs and receive sacrifices from their descendants, and their souls can be comforted - so those who died young and cannot enter the family can The poor people who buried their ancestors' tombs became ghosts in the hearts of their parents. The parents could not find peace, so they had to arrange ghost marriages for their children, hoping that the souls of their children could be comforted. At least, they would be buried together in a tomb instead of alone.

Even His Majesty the Emperor is no exception to this kind of obsession.

The real eldest son of Sikong Tong and Queen Yu was killed in Luoyang, and the whereabouts of his body was unknown. After Sikong Tong became emperor, he could not let his eldest son have his teeth. The only thing he could do was to set up a tomb to arrange for his ghost marriage. At that time, a daughter of the Gu family in Jiangdong died of illness, and she and Sikong Sui matched each other whether they were born or died, so they were buried together.

But not all children of nobles who died young can arrange for a ghost marriage. For example, two families originally had a grudge and regarded the ghost marriage as a marriage, which cannot be consensual. Moreover, even ghost marriages have to pay attention to family differences. Because the purpose of parents who organize ghost marriages is to comfort the souls of the dead and prevent them from turning into ghosts and causing trouble. If the living people feel that they are not a good match, they will naturally not believe that the souls of the dead will rest in peace.

Therefore, many ghost marriages will "fail", and the living people will always feel uneasy.

Like Li Xiaolang, who was engaged and died. As his parents, of course they hope that their daughter-in-law can be naturalized in the future, because as long as he is naturalized, Li Xiaolang will be considered "married". Even if Miss Xue remarries later, Li Xiaolang can at least be buried in his ancestral tomb, and his Parents can adopt a son for them and pass on the sacrifices to prevent the son from becoming a lonely ghost.

It is even more difficult for someone like Mrs. Xue who is willing to become a naturalized widow to be a widow than to get married in the dark. Therefore, no matter what the purpose of her "naturalization" is, most of the family members will hold a positive attitude. As for how long the "widowhood" can last, it is not important. Remarrying a widow is not only It was not uncommon, and was even encouraged by the court, but as a "widow" woman, she still had to abide by etiquette - dress modestly, not wear heavy makeup, not participate in banquets, let alone host banquets.

Ms. In today's Dayu, no matter how noble or common, unmarried women without children are not even qualified to become a monk, even monks can marry wives and take concubines.

The vast majority of the subjects of Dayu are not qualified to be single, because these are troubled times, the population has dropped sharply, and if the country wants to be strong, one basic condition is that it must have a sufficient population, scholar-bureaucrats, generals, craftsmen, brave soldiers, and labor …No matter what class you are in, it’s better to have more people.

But there are still people like Li Nujun. She actually doesn't care about the rise and fall of the country or the safety of the overall situation. She has an extremely strong sense of self. If fate gives her the slightest opportunity, she will try to squeeze out of the gap.

She didn't want to be a slave to any man.
