The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

On the way back, Shiliu couldn't help but ask Erzhen, "Aren't beautiful girls only able to marry freely after they fail the election? Why can the Tong family go to see each other in advance?" It's not the prince who chooses the princess.

She had never heard of the Tong family.

Erzhen stroked her head and said with a smile: "Didn't the Tong family make a great contribution by capturing Wu Yingxiong alive during the 'San Fan', and now he is the pro-nephew of the Tong family? As for the Tong family's background, you said that the emperor treated him with great difficulty." With a little merit, can you not pamper me?"

"Our emperor is very affectionate." No matter how she heard these words, Shiliu thought it was ironic.

Sure enough, Erzhen changed the subject, "I know Long Kedo, he has been favored by the imperial concubine since he was a child, and our emperor Ai Wuji also has great trust in him."

When Longkodo was six years old, he went to study in the study like the elder brother. The emperor was afraid that he would study hard, so he even approved a house for him to live in.

His treatment can be said to be better than a prince than a prince.

His marriage, the emperor can not ask.

"I heard from Ama that the Tong family is the best at climbing the pole to please the emperor." Erzhen disdains this kind of people who only know how to flatter.

She has no feelings for Longkodo, if Longkodo is really as good as Daoqin said, and the two are cousins, they are a good match.

Pomegranate nodded absently.

Just now, when that Daoqin Gege said that she might marry Longkodo, some images flashed in front of her eyes.In the picture is a hysterical woman, she is unkempt and scolding Longkodo, and opposite to the woman is a man with his arms around a woman in pink.

This scene was quite normal, she guessed that Longkodo had betrayed his original oath and took another woman as his concubine, and Daoqin quarreled with him.

What she saw next made her shudder.It was still this unkempt woman, whose hands and feet were cut off and placed in a big jar.Even if it's just a picture, Shiliu can feel that this woman is still angry, she is still alive.

She has met Daoqin a few times before, and she thinks this girl is not bad, and her surname is Hesheli.If the picture she saw was really Daoqin's future, she would feel a little sorry if she didn't say it.But what if?

She is not someone from Daoqin, a little girl, what qualifications does she have to take care of other people's marriages?

Pomegranates are a little tricky.

"What? Do you think Daoqin and Longkodo are not good enough?" Her niece is very smart. Although the two of them have an age difference, Erzhen never treats her like a child.The two of them are more like sisters than aunts and nephews.

Pomegranate nodded and then shook his head. "That's not true. Isn't Gege Daoqin surnamed Hesheli? I heard that the imperial concubine of the Tong family even targeted the prince. With the relationship between the fourth elder brother and the imperial concubine, will he compete with the prince when he grows up? If so, wouldn't it be difficult for Daoqin to be caught in the middle?"

Although she felt that the picture was Daoqin's future, she couldn't say it without evidence, so she just made up a reason.

There is actually a basis for saying it is nonsense, but she knows that the imperial concubine is also an ambitious woman.She was always looking forward to the prince being pulled down and replaced by the fourth elder brother.

With the attitude of the imperial concubine, the two might really match up in the future.As she said, what should Daoqin do?

Erzhen frowned, she really didn't think about it.

The struggle for storage has always been tragic, and women are the most innocent among them.Isn't Obai's daughter a good example.Although Aobai is not contending for heir, but he is arrogant and disrespectful, and thinks highly of himself, so his daughter was betrothed by the empress dowager to the son of his deadly rival, Sukesaha.

She sighed, "Who made us women?" To put it bluntly, the meaning of their daughters seems to be for marriage.Either with this family or with that family, but generally speaking, unless the Holy Majesty forces a marriage, they will choose someone who is beneficial to the family to marry.

Daoqin's matter should be just a private discussion between the two families, and it has not yet been decided.It happened that she was going to visit Tong's house in two days, so she found a chance to talk to Daoqin.The Hesheli family belonged to the prince's family, if the prince really did not get along with the Tong family, maybe the marriage would change.

Erzhen looked at the pomegranate and joked, "Tsk tsk tsk, our little pomegranate hasn't married the prince yet, so he knows that he will consider it for the prince."

Giving Erzhen a supercilious look, Shiliu turned her head with a cold snort on purpose.If you misunderstand, just misunderstand, she can't say that she saw Daoqin's future, she can't bear to watch a girl jump into the fire pit, can she?

In a blink of an eye, the day of the birthday banquet came, and the Shi family dressed up and went to Tong's house for the banquet.

The cold wind was fierce, but there were quite a few people who went to Tong's house. Some of them she had met before, while others she didn't know. The ones she didn't know should have been promoted in the past two years.This is the case in the capital, even if it is an official position without real power, there are people who want to get in.

No matter what they think in their hearts, these people are all smiling, as if they are so happy to be able to come to Tong's house.Anyway, she doesn't like to go out in the winter, and she can't wait to stay in the warm bed in winter.

Pomegranate is afraid of the cold, so she must wear thick clothes when going out.This time she is wearing a red fox fur cloak. Although red foxes are not uncommon, there are not many that are so big that they can be made into a cloak. The one on her was gifted to her by the Empress Dowager a few days ago, and the quality is even better. .

There are still not many accessories on the head, only some pink pearls are dropped on the braid.These pearls were given to her by the crown prince that day, and there were as many as a box, and they were all round, pink and tender, and very beautiful.There are pearl earrings of the same color on her ears. This pearl is a circle larger than the one on the braid, which complements her fair skin.

This time, he was wearing white rabbit leather boots with a circle of rabbit fur on them.Her hands were hidden in the cloak, and she held a small hand warmer in her palm.The hand warmer is warm from the palm of the hand to the bottom of the heart, making people feel comfortable all over.

She has a beautiful appearance, and when she stands there, she has an extraordinary demeanor and attracts a lot of attention.

"Gege Zhuang Jing and Gege Duanmin, you two are really flourishing." Since Tong Guowei became the Duke of the state, Mrs. Tong's status is also very different.Among the Fujins and wives who are all over the capital, only those with high grades like the clan are worthy of her going out to greet them.Even if they are both dukes and wives, she is superior to others because she is the emperor's family.

Mrs. Tong's Mrs. Hesheli, Shuai Yanbao's daughter, she and Daoqin's Ama are not siblings of the same mother.It was only when Shiliu knew that Madam Tong was like this when she was at Hesheli's house. To put it mildly, she had a gentle personality, but in fact she was cowardly.It's no wonder that such a character can't control Longkodo.

Shiliu is looking at Mrs. Tong, and Mrs. Tong is also looking at her.I haven't seen this little girl grow brighter in two years, if she grows up, she will be fine.She pulled the pomegranate away and smiled kindly, "This is Shuyuan Gege, right? I haven't seen him for two years and I dare not recognize him."

In the eyes of others, Mrs. Tong is well maintained, but her hands are still a bit rough for Shiliu. Shiliu doesn't like people she doesn't know well to hold her in a friendly manner.The Empress Dowager can't do anything about it, why should Madam Tong.

Taking advantage of the effort to say hello, she pulled out her palm without a trace, "Greetings to Madam." After greeting her, she obediently stood behind Erzhen, not giving Madam Tong a chance to catch her again.

Pomegranate's fingers were delicate and soft, Madam Tong felt a little regretful that she couldn't touch them for a while longer.

Duanmin knew her daughter well, so she smoothed things out with a smile, "Don't blame Madam, children are thin-skinned." Shiliu took advantage of the opportunity to show a shy look.

"Where is there, Shu Yuan is so annoying, don't look at me having two daughters, they are not as good as Shu Yuan together." Tong Guowei has seven sons and three daughters. In fact, Mrs. Tong has only three sons and one daughter. Longkodo is her eldest son but Tong Guowei's third son, and the imperial concubine Tong Jiashi is her only biological daughter.The Tong family also thought that Concubine Tong Jia was the concubine of Mrs. Tong. Although she was not her own daughter, she was her daughter under her name. That's why she said she had two daughters.

Mrs. Tong's words were obviously a compliment, but comparing her own daughter with the emperor's women, especially when she thought she was the imperial concubine and the vice queen, it was not appropriate to say anything.Duan Min frowned slightly and then let go. "Madam said that, if she is half as imperial concubine, I will wake up laughing from my dream."

Mrs. Tong probably also realized that the emperor has not issued a decree now. It is really inappropriate for her to say this, so she can only laugh a few times and change the topic.
