Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Ming Dynasty, the first year of Yongle, March.

Huagai Palace.

"Fourth sister-in-law, please let me go to the clan house to see the prince consort. I don't know if he is suffering in there."

Princess Nankang looked miserable. She knelt on the ground, holding on to Xu's skirt tightly. Tears kept rolling in her eyes, but she dared not let go.

"Get up!!! Who told you to kneel down to others so easily!"

Xu was extremely angry.

"If my fourth sister-in-law doesn't let me go, I will kneel down and not get up!"

Princess Nankang's voice was trembling, but she still gritted her teeth and said

"If you kneel again, I will send someone to the clan house to teach your consort a lesson. Kneel down and learn! Someone -"

Xu took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

"No - I'll get up, I'll get up."

Princess Nankang jumped up immediately when she heard this.

"Hu Shang Gong, please look after the princess for a few more days. When Princess Nankang stops mentioning her husband, bring her to see me."

Xu patted her face, sighed, and then explained to the Palace Lady Hu beside her.

"Yes, ma'am."

"mother."

Zhang Xin waited until Princess Nankang left with Concubine Hu before she stepped forward and served Xu a cup of chrysanthemum tea.

"It's been a long time since I've dealt with stupid people. I didn't expect to be so enthusiastic."

Xu was still angry and covered her chest, feeling very sad and angry.

"This is how they are taught in this palace since they were young. It's not her fault."

Zhang Xin couldn't tell how she felt.

There was a period of time when she was like Princess Nankang. She regarded her husband as her God and always felt that she was not good enough that someone else won Zhu Gaochi's heart.

"You take Wei Shi, Zhiming and Anle out to stroll the streets whenever you have nothing to do. I don't believe that I can't change this bad trend!"

Xu gritted her teeth.

This is truly something I have never seen before.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne last year, almost all the princesses came.

Zhu Di was a little more familiar with the older princesses, but he couldn't even recognize some of those born later.

At that time, Xu was not there and there was no one to entertain the princess, so Zhu Di met with everyone as usual and then left.

But Zhu Di had dealt with the princesses' husbands.

Among the remaining princes-in-law, some did not participate in the Jingnan Campaign, and some were sent by Zhu Yunwen to fight against Zhu Di.

But in the current situation, no one can help themselves in this kind of situation.

The princes-in-law who had been on the battlefield wrote a memorial of apology, and Zhu Di would just give them a heads-up and fine them a few years' salary.

On the surface, everyone says hello, I'm fine, and everyone is fine.

Over the past six months, the princess's mansion seemed to be peaceful, but little did people know that there were undercurrents.

The first wave was led by the eleventh daughter of the emperor, Princess Nankang.

Princess Nankang married Hu Guan, the son of Hu Hai, Marquis of Dongchuan, in the 21st year of Hongwu. In the 32nd year of Hongwu, Hu Guan was captured when he followed Sheng Yong to the north.

In other words, Hu Guan was one of the princes-in-law who participated in the war last year.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he fined Hu Guan's salary. Princess Nankang also helped plead for him, so he was reinstated.

But when Xu was crowned as queen this time, Princess Nankang did not come.

Xu originally thought that she was sick or something, and planned to let Zhang Xin take her two daughters out of the palace to visit her. But she found out after talking to other princesses.

The reason why Nankang was absent this time was that the Nankang Princess's Mansion had already become a mess.

The prince consort spent all day sleeping with prostitutes outside and even brought prostitutes home.

When Xu was crowned as the queen, Hu Guan continued to speak out in the princess's mansion.

It is said that the emperor was henpecked and that several of his children were born to Xu.

Let Princess Nankang have less contact with Xu, and it would be best if she doesn’t even go to the palace for the enthronement ceremony, so as to avoid being led astray by Xu.

Princess Nankang really didn't come.

It doesn't matter whether she wants to save face and doesn't want to complain, or whether she really agrees with Hu Guan's words.

Xu was disgusted.

Xu did not expose the matter at that time. She already had doubts when she took over Princess Baoqing. Baoqing was really cowardly and had many shortcomings in her education.

Xu simply summoned a different princess to the palace every day for questioning.

The summary is not optimistic.

After their deaths, the late emperor did not appoint another empress, which showed his deep love and loyalty to the late emperor.

But it's not so wonderful for the princesses in the harem.

Whether it is the Imperial Concubine or the Concubine who is temporarily in charge of the palace affairs, they all adopt the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more trouble".

Let the concubines who have children take care of the princes and princesses themselves.

When the princes reached a certain age, they naturally went to the main hall outside to attend classes and study.

The princesses were educated on their own in the palace, and the books they read were just a few women's books that one could only read superficially if they didn't study them seriously.

After the previous emperor's concubines died almost all, most of them were born into ordinary families or even palace maids.

In order to make it easier to manage them, the late emperor's concubines and these little princesses were all raised like quails by the maids in the palace.

I eat and sleep on time, and other than that, I embroider, read and write.

Even when catching butterflies in a small garden, one is advised to be quiet.

It is difficult for men to understand what is missing in this kind of education.

Just seeing a peaceful scene, a virtuous woman and a well-behaved daughter, that's enough.

So the roots were crooked from the previous emperor.

The princesses were raised in their own way and married off when they were old enough. Everything was fine when the late emperor was still alive.

After the death of the previous emperor, all the concubines in the harem followed him. During the reign of Zhu Yunwen, both the emperor and the empress were very busy and no one had the time to care about how the princesses were living.

Princesses have the most honorable titles in the world, but in reality they have no father or mother.

Now that his brother Zhu Di has ascended the throne and Xu has not arrived, Zhu Di will not go out of his way to summon the princesses into the palace to inquire about their recent situation.

The princes-in-law began to get restless.

Based on the bits and pieces of information revealed by these princesses who still had their princes-in-law, Xu could also infer that none of them was content.

It’s just that most of them know how to cover it up, playing secretly outside and keeping it even more secretly.

Only Princess Nankang's husband was the most flamboyant, and almost everyone knew him.

Xu learned all the details, invited Princess Nankang into the palace, and then had the prince consort imprisoned in the clan house.

"Gongwu Xin'er, you pick up the phone. I only plan to take care of the affairs of the various princesses' mansions during this period. You are a junior and not suitable. Just come and listen when you have time."

"Yes, mother!"
