Why are you so anxious?

Regarding Princess Pingyang's return to Beijing at this time, he is naturally not the only one who has Jun Shaoyou's thoughts.It has been nearly 20 years since Dachu established the dynasty. Because Changle, who was the eldest princess when Guozuo was established, made great contributions, there are still countless legends among the people about the Women's Army formed at the time of crisis.Therefore, the men of the Da Chu Dynasty did not dare to look down on women like they did in the previous dynasty, and even said such pedantic words as 'a woman who has no talent is a virtue'.There is also such a wonderful family as the crony Yan family that relies on the marriage of big families to survive.People at that time were influenced by this, and those who had the conditions at home would let their daughters in the boudoir learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that even if they go out to socialize, a lady who can speak well will always be more sought after and admired.

The so-called good wife and husband have few misfortunes.What is a good wife?It's just a matter of reason and understanding, and the means are transparent.

However, the ancestors also said that it is not enough. People in the world marry wives to settle down and establish a career without any worries.If a woman is too detached and unwilling to settle down in the room, her husband's family will naturally be affected.Therefore, how to teach my daughter to learn is very difficult to grasp.But in the eyes of the meritorious families in Kyoto, Princess Pingyang is a bit too much.Therefore, when Emperor Yongqian proposed marriage for the princess, all the aristocratic families in Kyoto avoided it.In desperation, Princess Pingyang had to marry far away from other provinces, but she has not heard from her for so many years.But at this moment the news of Emperor Yongqian's illness came out of the capital, and the battle between the First Prince and the Second Prince was obvious and fierce.Princess Pingyang suddenly returned to Beijing at this juncture, and everyone knew about Sima Zhao's heart.

However, no matter how the families in Beijing complained, Princess Pingyang and her party still arrived as scheduled.Emperor Yongqian hadn't seen this eldest daughter whom he loved the most for a long time, so he was naturally happy in his heart.Therefore, it is rare to hold a lively family banquet to welcome the princess.

It is said to be a family banquet, but the royal family of Da Chu is so complicated, not to mention the members of the various clans who were honored and raised in Jingzhong, but only the meritorious families who married the members of the royal family, there are countless.After so many things, there were more than a hundred people in a so-called "simple" family banquet.

Da Chu is popular in singing and dancing, so it is natural to have a melodious singing voice and graceful dancing sleeves on the banquet.Princess Pingyang, who hadn't returned to Beijing for nearly three years, looked at everyone at the banquet with a nostalgic gaze. Emperor Yongqian, who was still gray and old despite careful grooming, and Empress Yan, who was calm and unspeakable, with indescribable brows, almost The second elder brother Zhuang Zhou and the second sister-in-law Zhao Mingxuan who have become more and more elegant after years of seeing each other, the concubine Chen who is always beautiful and imposing, the meritorious deeds of the princes and princesses who may or may not have changed, and...

Princess Pingyang calmly set her eyes on the seat of the eldest prince Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou.Between the two of them sat a two or three-year-old doll, with a white face like jade, and black eyes like stars, carved in pink and jade, really cute.A slender hand holding a spoon approached Xiao Baozi's mouth.Princess Pingyang's eyes meandered upwards along that hand, and fell on Jun Shaoyou's still delicate face without any trace of age.The eldest brother Zhuang Lin next to him has been sticky for ten years, whispering and laughing quietly, as if the hustle and bustle of the banquet has never been seen, and the tranquility makes Princess Pingyang's eyes flash a strange color.

It is undeniable that Jun Shaoyou's skin is really good, completely in line with all the fantasies of a boudoir girl who has never seen the world about her lover.He is handsome, personable, gentle, and amazingly talented.Ping Yang clearly knew that when she was young, she really had such innocent and pure fantasies.It's a pity that they met too late. Although she was Yunying and unmarried at that time, she was still a young man, and their positions were irreconcilable opposites.Ping Yang, who is calm by nature, can only suppress the small emotions in his heart, and calculate and use step by step.It's a pity that the other party is even more masterful, not only resolving all her plots, but also forcing her to stay in the capital and marry far away from other provinces.

Fortunately, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything. Although she stayed away from the circle of the capital for so many years, she managed to win over many aristocratic officials from other provinces through her hard work. Now she can be regarded as holding two cards of civil and martial arts, and combined with the righteousness of the second emperor's brother, she finally has the strength to fight.

Princess Pingyang was thinking about it secretly, but she didn't know that there were many meritorious deeds of the clan who were thinking about her thoughts at the banquet.Not to mention Zhuang Lin and Jun Shaoyou, who have been facing enemies since they got the news of her return, they said that the eldest princess Chang Le, who has always been aloof and never participated in the battle between Beijing and China, looked at everyone at the table non-stop, even herself. Ping Yang, who was left out by her husband, shook her head quite speechlessly.

This Pingyang native had not yet arrived in the capital, but he had already sent his confidantes to visit various officials and families in the capital one by one with generous gifts.As a transcendent force in Beijing, Princess Changle's Mansion naturally received the favor of Princess Pingyang.As an aunt, Princess Changle admired her niece's wisdom and skills.But she didn't feel that a woman's wisdom and means must be put on the fight with her own family.As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer the country than to defend the country. Although Da Chu has a generous folk style and is not as strict as the previous generations of women, the customs of the time are nothing more than that.Otherwise, Changle would not have retreated bravely after the death of the son-in-law, and lived peacefully for so many years in a semi-recluse state.

One mountain cannot contain two tigers, the man in the dealer is indifferent by nature, and he values ​​power far more than others.In order to stabilize his power, Emperor Yongqian sacrificed her happiness to watch his son-in-law die tragically. Later, he wanted to use her marriage for the rest of his life to win over the lieutenants.He is so cruel and ruthless, Changle has long since lost his expectation for this elder brother who comes from the same lineage.Emperor Yongqian had such a temperament, so Zhuang Zhou did not give in.Therefore, in the view of Princess Changle, no matter how much Pingyang does his best to help Zhuang Zhou at this time, when Zhuang Zhou sits firmly on the dragon chair in the future, the first person who cannot be tolerated is Pingyang who has the merits of being a dragon.It's a pity that Pingyang thinks he's smart, but he can't see right from wrong.Before Pingyang was married, the eldest princess of Changle secretly persuaded her several times.After she got married, she had better be able to take care of her husband, teach her children, and keep herself safe.Looking at it now, I'm afraid Pingyang didn't listen to it either.

Thinking of this, Princess Changle unconsciously shook her head.

Some people are born with a stubborn temperament that they will not die until they reach the Yellow River, and they will not shed tears when they see the coffin.This kind of person, no matter how hard you try to persuade her, it's useless. You have to wait until she hits her head and bleeds to know how serious it is.

Princess Changle turned her attention to the seat of the eldest prince Zhuang Lin, and saw that the two of them were taking advantage of the fact that everyone at the table was not paying attention, and quietly took their son out.There was a slight smile in the eyes of Changle Princess Changle, she suddenly felt that the atmosphere at the banquet was hot, so she whispered a few words to her son and daughter-in-law beside her, and also retreated to drink away.

Princess Pingyang has been paying attention to the attitudes of the people at the table, but seeing Zhuang Lin and Princess Changle leaving the table one after another, her eyes turned cold, she smiled and said to Emperor Yonggan who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Look, Your Majesty, after so many years, the elder brother and The eldest sister-in-law is still so affectionate, it is really enviable."

Hearing this, Emperor Yongqian casually glanced at the first vacant seat, and said with a light smile, "Your elder brother and your elder sister-in-law have always been like this, and I am also very pleased. But you child, if you can grow up I am also relieved of the blessings of the emperor's brother and the great emperor's wife."

Although Emperor Yongqian was old, he hadn't reached the point where his eyes were dim.After drinking this banquet, I naturally noticed that the relationship between Princess Pingyang and her son-in-law did not seem to be as respectful as guests as rumors outside.It's just that royal marriages have always been tied to interests. After all, there are only a few who can really play harmoniously. Emperor Yongqian saw too much of this kind of interest collusion, so naturally he didn't care.However, his daughter also acted so indifferent outside, Emperor Yongqian still had some criticisms.

After all, compared with these long-standing aristocratic families, the Dachu royal family can be said to have started in the grass.Many aristocratic families complained that the royal family's upbringing and etiquette were not enough, and they were complacent about their own strict etiquette.

Emperor Yongqian has always been very happy and eager to win. Although he may not like these so-called aristocratic families who bluff when nothing happens, and shrink their heads when they have something to do, he is still not very happy to be accused and criticized like this.In the past few years, the eldest son Zhuang Lin has disobeyed the etiquette and adopted a male concubine, which has already made people laugh at the rules of the royal family. Fortunately, the two have a very good relationship, and now they have adopted an adopted son. Everyone envied the long-term harmony of this young couple.Emperor Yongqian saw it in his eyes and felt a little radiance on his face.

Now looking at Pingyang and his son-in-law's seemingly incompatible relationship, he naturally feels a little bit unhappy.

The smile on Princess Pingyang's face did not change, Yingying said: "Your Majesty said that Pingyang is also very curious about the way of taming the husband of the Great Emperor's Wife. If I have free time someday, I must come to ask for advice."

The son-in-law next to him heard this, and he couldn't help but smile, and took a look at Princess Pingyang without losing his voice.He came from a master of ethics, and his family tree can even be traced back to the royal family of Zhao State during the Warring States Period. He felt that his worth was a hundred times more expensive than that of a banker who was born in a reckless manner.And he has been taught by the family's ancient precepts since he was a child, so he naturally thinks that it is better for women to stay at home and calm down.He didn't like Pingyang's wife from the very beginning, but because of the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker, it's not easy to disobey.To say that when Pingyang first got married, in order to win over the son-in-law, he had acted tenderly and affectionately for a long time, but the two seemed to be the same kind of person, no matter how humble Pingyang was, the son-in-law only Quiet as a mountain, unmoved.If Pingyang wants the jurisdiction of the backyard, there is no other way, it is in the hands of the mother, and now the father is still the patriarch, there is no reason to ask the clan wife to step back and give it to a new daughter-in-law.If Pingyang wanted to make friends abroad, the son-in-law would not stop him, but those who were better with the Zhao family were naturally aristocratic families whose etiquette had been passed down for thousands of years, and they were all stable and passed down from generation to generation, and few of them would lower their value to participate In the midst of the battle between the princes.Anyway, no matter who becomes the emperor, it will not hinder the development of their family in the end.Therefore, everyone is just pretending to be false, and those who can really reach an alliance with Pingyang, except for those "small families and small households" that they don't pay attention to, are some so-called "small households" that are still lonely and can hardly be passed on despite the name of the family. Everyone".

So Pingyang has been busy for a long time, thinking he can do it.What she didn't know was that her words and deeds had already spread to the world's aristocratic families. Although it was difficult to spread too much due to family ugliness, the families felt that the education of the royal family's children was a lot less.Sure enough, he came from a reckless background, and his foundation is too weak.

But the reason why he accompanied Pingyang to the capital this time was that Pingyang used the name of filial piety, and only said that his father was ill and had to come to visit him.The Zhao family teaches everyone how to be polite, so naturally they won't stop their daughter-in-law from being filial, right?Secondly, he also has important things to do in Beijing, but it is not easy to publicize this important thing, now that Princess Pingyang has made this request, he can just take this opportunity to come to Beijing for a while.

in this way.It won't attract people's attention, and it can pull the banner of Da Chu's royal family to do some strategic planning. Zhao Xian, the son-in-law, thinks that this deal is not bad.

Princess Pingyang didn't know about the plan of the person beside the pillow, she just glanced casually at the table, smiled and said to Emperor Yongqian: "Aunt Changle hasn't come out for a long time, and now she's attending a banquet, she really doesn't feel used to it I went out. In this regard, my aunt looks exactly like the elder brother and elder sister-in-law."

They are not willing to sit comfortably.

Princess Pingyang swallowed the last sentence, but based on her understanding of Emperor Yonggan, it is true that Emperor Yonggan also knew the elegant meaning by hearing the string song.Seeing Emperor Yongqian holding the wine bottle without a trace, he paused for a moment, and inadvertently glanced at the flowers, willows and greens outside the palace. Princess Pingyang held the bottle in front of her, cleverly blocking the smile on her lips.
