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

"Just keep talking tough, life is so long."

The next sentence of Bao Shi is - Do you think the prince can coax you for the rest of your life? - was swallowed back by her.

"Gong Wu also feels that the prince spoils me?"

Zhang Xin turned and asked Wu Shanggong.

"The Crown Prince is in love with the Crown Princess. I told you that last time."

Wu Shanggong smiled, it seemed that the Crown Prince's wife had not yet understood.

"Uh, impossible!"

Zhang Xin inexplicably got goose bumps all over her body.

"Just be yourself, Crown Prince Consort. If the Crown Prince likes you, then he will be happy. Maybe the Crown Prince likes this type of Crown Prince Consort. If he is happy, just respond. If he is unhappy, just say it directly, or even have a quarrel with him."

Wu Shanggong responded with a smile.

"I'm afraid the prince doesn't like those roundabout ways."

Wanxiu also added a sentence.

"Just be yourself. That's a great quote. I can learn something from Wu Shanggong every day."

Zhang Xin doesn't want to respond to the topic about Xinyue.

"The Crown Princess is smart and studious, and she can always find a direction to study."

Wu Shanggong's praise was very sincere.

Regardless of whether she is just not smart enough or is born that way, Wu Shanggong feels that Zhang Xin is just right.

Be smart and straightforward in the big picture, and don't get entangled or delve into small details.

It just happens to be a good match for the prince.

Xu had said many times that the prince was a meticulous person with much more than just a conservative character. However, because he was the prince of Prince Yan's Mansion, he had to keep a low profile and at the age of eighteen he lived like an eighty-year-old, cautious and wary.

The character is awkward and fragile.

He desires to be praised and cared for, but at the same time he has to suppress himself to show that he doesn't care. He is very divided.

Only with someone as bold as Zhang Xin can we gradually remove the mask that her son puts on.

Now, aren’t there teenagers who can express dissatisfaction, make people laugh, and make people angry running out?

"Sister Wu, are you blindfolded and forcing yourself to praise me?!"

During this period, Bao lived with Concubine Wu in the confinement room day and night, and they found that they had similar personalities.

In fact, Wu Shanggong was a fifth-rank official in the palace and was a formal female official in the court.

Now that I have stepped down and followed Xu, I modestly call myself an old servant.

Old Man Zhang's position at this time was not as high in rank as that of Concubine Wu, and Mrs. Bao was younger than Concubine Wu, so everyone just called Mrs. Bao Sister Wu, while Concubine Wu was called Madam.

"It doesn't matter. In the end, sincerity is the key to everything between people. Crown Prince's wife, you are honest and lovely. The Crown Prince won't be angry for long."

Concubine Wu patted Bao's hand soothingly.

After discussing the matter for a while, everyone dropped their topic. After all, words like "Xinyue" (feeling happy) are not suitable to be said all the time.

Zhang Xin lay on the bed and recalled many past events.

In Zhu Gaochi's dictionary, if we talk about joy, it should be given to Guo.

Guo, who was sometimes heroic and sometimes delicate and weak, always had a hook in her eyes when she looked at Zhu Gaochi.

Just like what Old Man Zhang was worried about when he had to drag the entire Zhang family together to buy a dowry for Zhang Xin.

The principal wife is a commoner, but the concubine may not be.

When Zhang Xin was the Crown Prince's Consort, the fighting between the two sides was in full swing and people in the court could not see the direction clearly, so Zhu Gaochi's backyard was relatively quiet.

As soon as my father-in-law ascended the throne, women came immediately.

There are a lot of people on my father-in-law's side.

Before Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaosui were given the position of crown prince, people placed bets one after another.

The women sent to Zhu Gaochi's backyard, no matter how prominent their family backgrounds were, all had a higher starting point than Zhang Xin, a commoner girl.

In the second year after his father-in-law ascended the throne, Zhu Gaochi was finally made the crown prince thanks to Zhanji, a son who was particularly favored by his father-in-law.

Then the women with truly prominent family backgrounds came, the most prominent one—Guo.

The ancestor of the Guo family, Guo Ying, was a fellow villager of the emperor's grandfather. He followed the emperor's grandfather in all the battles and was named Marquis Wuding when the dynasty was founded. The title was inherited by his descendants.

The glory of the Hongwu Dynasty continued until the reign of Zhu Yunwen.

It is not known whether it was because his grandfather entrusted him with the care of his son before his death or for other reasons, but Guo Ying stood on Zhu Yunwen's side.

Guo Ying personally fought with his father-in-law many times.

Guo Ying's son-in-law, King Liao, also refused his father-in-law's recruitment.

The bridge is now closed.

The year his father-in-law ascended the throne, Guo Ying was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, where he later died of illness.

After Guo Ying's death, because he was a meritorious official in the Hongwu reign and the title was hereditary, his father-in-law delayed for several months before finally conferring the title posthumously on him. However, the matter of the younger generation of the Guo family inheriting the title was put on hold and not mentioned at all.

In order to return to the court and for the glory of the family, the Guo family picked the two most outstanding granddaughters in the family and bet on both sides.

Da Guo was sent to the Prince's Mansion of Zhu Gaochi.

Little Guo was sent to the Prince of Han's Mansion, which was Zhu Gaoxu's residence.

As soon as Mrs. Guo entered the Eastern Palace, she became very successful.

The daughter of a famous family, she grew up in a wealthy and prestigious family.

Guo Ying gave birth to more than a dozen sons and ten daughters. Her sons had grandchildren, and her grandchildren had sons. The family grew huge as the generations passed.

By the time it came to the Guo family’s generation, they were able to stand out and fight for the family. What a great talent that was!

I came to Zhu Gaochi's backyard, which was under the control of his mother-in-law, where the wife was honest and obedient, and the concubines were well-behaved.

Guo was like a fish in water.

Anyone can see that Guo has been cautious and humble since she entered the Eastern Palace, and has been trying to appear impeccable both internally and externally.

But Zhu Gaochi just felt that Guo was considerate and was very satisfied with her.

Anyway, Zhang Xin watched coldly at that time and felt that Zhu Gaochi seemed to have been drugged, or as Wu Shanggong said, the old house was on fire.

My mother-in-law was still alive at that time. How could she not see what even Zhang Xin could see?

Guo even started having children only after her mother-in-law passed away. By then, she had already been in the mansion for five years!

After his father-in-law passed away, Zhu Gaochi could not wait to confer the title of noble concubine on Guo, the first of the four concubines.

Later, the emperor conferred the title of Lady of Yingguo on Guo's grandmother, Yan, in violation of the rules.

Later, Guo's brothers inherited the title of Marquis Wuding.

This title lasted for twenty-two years during the entire Yongle reign, but his father-in-law never allowed him to inherit it.

Zhu Gaochi had just ascended the throne after his father-in-law died.

The entire Wuding Marquis Mansion, under the operation of Concubine Guo and the blessing of Zhu Gaochi, immediately regained its second spring.

This incident also caused an uproar among the public at the time.

This case of inheritance of the title was a lawsuit that went back and forth many times, and because of Guo, the second wife won the title.

You should know that the original Wuding Marquis Guo Ying’s original wife had no children!!!

All the sons were born to concubines. The reason why they were called concubines was to give the sons a good reputation, but in reality they were just concubines.

Theoretically speaking, if the original wife has no children, then all these children will be ranked according to seniority, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate.

The eldest son among several sons, Guo Zhen, is the definite and first-in-line heir to the title.

When Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Guo Zhen, the eldest son who ranked first, had already passed away.

If one really wants to give the title to the Guo family, then the normal procedure is to posthumously confer the title on the eldest son Guo Zhen, and then pass the title to the eldest son of Guo Zhen's family.
