Records of the King of Xin'an County

The third princess and the fourth princess were born one after another, and both the saint and Queen Du couldn't hide their joy.However, because they are not full-term, their body bones are slightly weak.In particular, in order to compete with Yang Meiren, Yuan Cairen hastily resorted to some inappropriate means in private. Not only did he toss himself like a serious illness, but even the third princess suffered from fetal weakness.This pale baby fell ill several times in just twenty days, Feng Yu and the imperial physician finally rescued her.

The saint immediately recovered from his joy and asked Empress Du to order someone to thoroughly investigate the matter of Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen's early delivery.Sure enough, in the end it was found out that Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen were responsible for themselves.As for the little tricks used by Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu, they can be ignored due to the smoothing of traces.

The saint was furious and almost deposed Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen from their positions.After Empress Du persuaded him for several days, he managed to suppress his anger and personally ordered someone to beat the two of them.He didn't dislike the ambitions of these young concubines, if they didn't have the slightest ambition, he felt it wasn't real enough.Just like Zhou Chongyuan, she was so cold that the saint felt that she didn't have any thoughts for him, but it was not easy to get close to her.

However, no matter who it is, if they act recklessly because of ambition, or even hurt the emperor's heir, it is a fault that cannot be easily forgiven.If they were left to their own devices, these young concubines would be allowed to continue to act recklessly, maybe someone would follow their example in the future, and even temporarily attack the emperor's heir.He had few children, how could something happen to him because of a vicious woman?

Of course, Empress Du originally planned to give these two concubines nine concubines, but at this time, it was naturally impossible.Thus, Beauty Yang was promoted to Jieyu of the third rank, and Yuan Cairen was promoted to the beauty of the fourth rank.When the two received the decree, they were all extremely regretful.You know, the rules they used during their pregnancy were the nine concubines, and it stands to reason that they should also be sealed later.But now, everything has come to naught, even if they all gave birth to princesses, they are still not as good as Zhou Chongyuan who has nothing to do and no love.

What made them even more jealous was that Pei Cairen was named a fourth-rank beauty because she was pregnant.At the same time, another little-known Hu Baolin was also diagnosed as two months pregnant, and was promoted to a fifth-rank talent.Comparing the two, the young concubines who were a little ready to move suddenly understood the meaning of the saint and Queen Du, and gradually settled down.

At the full moon banquet for the third and fourth princesses, Yang Jieyu and Yuan Meiren did not show up because they were still in the middle of the moon.Shengren and Empress Du didn't mention them at all, and the clans who came to celebrate naturally didn't say much.After all, they are just two low-ranking concubines who gave birth to a princess. It is hard to say whether they will be blessed to give birth to a prince in the future.

The sage frowned, carefully hugged the two little daughters, looked at them carefully for a while, and sighed to Queen Du beside him: "Sanniang is so thin, I don't know if I can... Alas, although Siniang looks at the raising He is a bit fatter, but his reaction is not as good as that of Yue Niang and Wan Niang." He still remembered that when he hugged his eldest daughter for the first time, the little guy who had just turned one month smiled at him.The same is true for the second daughter, as if the nature of father and daughter.

Empress Du teased the two little guys: "They were probably tired just now, but they are falling asleep now. When they grow up, it will be more interesting for the sage to hug and tease them." In her heart, the two A princess is far inferior to her own daughter.Of course, the saint's flesh and blood can't be wrong, probably the difference lies in the biological mother.

Princess Changning was not interested in these two younger sisters, but she also showed pity on her face in a timely manner, saying something like the third and fourth mothers need to make up for each other.And Princess Yong'an couldn't help poking her head out, whispering to the baby constantly.It's a pity that the little baby couldn't understand anything, only felt that both of them were crying because of the noise.

Princess Yong'an pursed her lips, feeling disappointed and wronged, she turned around and went to play with Shou Niang again.Li Hui coaxed his little cousins ​​and nieces by his side until Empress Du's cronies and maidservants surrounded them before letting them go around.After all, today was a family banquet, and there were too many clan and royal relatives present, so he was worried that the two little guys would be bumped into.

The third princess and the fourth princess were both young and frail, and after showing their faces only a little, they were taken away by the wet nurse.Afterwards, Concubine Yang Xian and Concubine Yuan Shu brought all the concubines over to congratulate them. Some people looked at Pei Meiren and Hu Cairen with unconcealed sourness, and said some slightly sour congratulations.It actually attracted the sage to look at these two people more.Empress Du simply made a favor, and also gave the two of them the nine concubines during pregnancy.

"Zitong, how about handing over Sanniang and Siniang to the proper old people of the Eastern Palace to raise them?" The saint suddenly said, "With the dispositions of Yuan and Yang, they probably won't be able to raise any good daughters." After taking a look at those old people from the East Palace, I found that their temperament and appearance are indeed not outstanding, but they are more docile.And if the third princess and the fourth princess can develop a docile temperament, it would be better to be like their biological mother.

"Mother and child are connected, I really can't bear it." Empress Du sighed, "No matter how big the mistake between Yuan Shi and Yang Shi is, she should love her daughter in her heart, and she will definitely not treat them badly. If they are not careful and thoughtful, The concubine will send someone to mention them, the saint can rest assured."

"Forget it." The saint just let go of his thoughts on a whim.Back then, even the King of Shu was willing to be raised by Zhang Zhaoyi's side, and the third and fourth princesses shouldn't be too special.Perhaps, there is also a fate between parents and children.If there is no eye relationship with him, why bother to seize the fate between them and their biological mother?

At this time, Concubine Yan and Concubine Yang came to congratulate each other.Empress Du and Princess Changning hurriedly helped them up.

Compared with Wang Taifei, these two dowagers are really diligent in going to and from the palace.Concubine Yang came to see Empress Du and her nieces, only for Princess Anxing who was still under house arrest in the princess mansion.Concubine Yan, on the other hand, is more "loving and kind", and is widely socialized, and has quite contacts with all the concubines in the palace.She is clearly not good at interacting with people, and she has done many inappropriate things, but due to her seniority, no one can stop her.

After saying many congratulatory speeches, Concubine Yan raised her eyes slightly, looked at Princess Changning, and forced a smile.

Back then when she proposed to marry Changning for the son of the Yan family, she naturally felt that she was good in everything, not only was she outstanding in appearance, she was also educated to be very intelligent by the Du family, and she was also deeply liked by Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende.Being able to marry a favored eldest princess, the Yan family will be revived when the Du family gives birth to a son in the future.

Who would have expected that Queen Du would be injured when she gave birth to Princess Yong'an?Not to mention regenerating a son-in-law, I am afraid that he will not even live for a long time.When the sage establishes a new queen, who will remember the princess born to the former queen?Even after the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace ascended the throne, who would remember his half-sister?

At that time, Concubine Yan was somewhat dissatisfied with Princess Changning.It's just that the Yan family is still on the difficult road to revival, and Yan Zhan has suppressed these dissatisfaction when she realized that the princess could indeed get a lot of help.However, this does not mean that she does not want to befriend the future prince or empress of the Eastern Palace.So, there was the matter of her giving gifts to Yang Meiren and Yuan Cairen before.

However, who would have thought that after just giving a gift, he would fall into the way of the people in the palace?Yan Zhan even begged her several times for this purpose, begging her not to make any noise and never to be used by others.It was the first time that this nephew and grand-nephew had such a tough attitude, which made Concubine Yan very unhappy.She sent someone to investigate carefully, and found that Princess Changning seemed to be involved, so her anger turned to her.Now, she is getting more and more displeased with this favored eldest princess.

Princess Changning was sensitive to her displeasure, she still had a smile on her face, but she couldn't help but sneered in her heart.

She didn't know much about Concubine Yan before, but after experiencing this incident, she asked Empress Du for advice.It turned out that when this Concubine Yan was born, it was the time when Cheng Guogong's mansion was the most prestigious. After entering the palace, she was given preferential treatment because she was the cousin of Emperor Taizong. For decades, she had smooth sailing, so she naturally developed a proud temperament.Now that she is one of the elders with the highest seniority, of course she cannot allow anyone to point out her mistakes.Presumably, Yan Zhan's suggestion made her full of complaints, and it was inevitable that she would turn her anger on her.

Heh, with such elders, Cheng Guogong's mansion still wants to revive?It's not bad if it doesn't cause trouble.

"Saint, on such a festive day today, I have to ask Dalang and Yueniang about their marriage again." Concubine Yan said with a smile, "Last year, the saint said that they will get married this year. What day is the month? Only when the date is fixed, can we have enough time to prepare for life, right?"

The saint pondered for a while, and called Li Hui over: "Xuan Qi, how is Yue Niang's Princess Mansion going?"

"All the towers and pavilions have been built, and the next step is to decorate and arrange them." Li Hui said.He has always been very concerned about this matter, and the supervisor is also doing his best, and the progress has always been under control. "Three roads and seven entrances, the courtyard of the main hall is newly built, and the garden will continue to be repaired on the basis of the original mansion. If it is rushed, it can be decorated in three or four months."

It will be July and August in three or four months. If there are still details that need to be trimmed, it will have to wait another month or two.If everything is arranged properly, at least it will have to be delayed until the end of the year.Of course King Xin'an would not admit it, not only did he want to delay until the end of the year, but he also hoped to delay until next year when his younger sister was really married.In his opinion, there is a huge difference between fifteen years old and fifteen years old.If you can stay longer, even if you decline at the age of seventeen or eighteen.It's a pity that he can't decide the wedding date of Princess Changning.

The sage seemed to have seen his careful thinking, and raised his eyebrows: "It just so happens, according to Taishi Bureau's calculation, December [-]th is one of the most suitable days for marriage this year. Let's decide on that day."

Although she felt that it was too late, Concubine Yan still had a happy expression on her face.The members of Duke Cheng's mansion came to thank her in a hurry, and Yan Zhan couldn't help looking at Princess Changning quietly, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and joy, which made many onlookers smile knowingly.

"Be prepared." The sage warned, "I will do the math with the Taishi Bureau again, where should the wedding hall be located." When the princess comes out, naturally she can't hold a banquet at her husband's house to marry like an ordinary woman, but in another way. Open up wedding halls specially for weddings.After the wedding, they will return to the princess mansion or husband's house to live.

After the full moon banquet was over, the sage couldn't help but said to Empress Du: "The Yan family is so impatient, it seems like I was forced to marry a daughter." I thought they were impatient before, which shows that they attach great importance to marriage. Yue Niang is also sincere.Now that the auspicious date has been set, but I only feel reluctance and regret in my heart, and it is inevitable to bring out some anger.

"If it wasn't for Xuan Qi's ingenuity, maybe it will be set in September or October." Empress Du looked at it a bit more, "Why don't we go to the princess mansion that has been built some other day? We can see it with our own eyes. What kind of place Yueniang will live in in the future depends on whether it suits her or not."

"Alright." So, the sage was so full of thoughts about the Princess Mansion that he completely forgot about naming the third and fourth princesses.As for the title, not every noble lord will have a title immediately after birth, and it will not be too late to seal it when it is time to surrender.After all, naming and titles are considered a kind of favor.For the daughters born to the two concubines who had pissed him off, the two daughters who didn't have much eye contact - and who were too thin at the same time, didn't give names or titles easily, but it was a kind of petting.
