princess teasing concubine

The royal family's Jiji ceremony is not too big, it is mainly the participation of various royal relatives and relatives, the three princesses are born by the queen, and the queen needs to help tie her hair when she is Jiji.

The place to salute is naturally the main hall, which has basically been prepared, except for the inconvenient poetry, the empresses of the palaces and the princes and princesses are all waiting at the side.

When the crown prince's confinement time was over, he glanced sideways at the second prince, Shangguan Fei. The faces of the two of them were cold and hard, obviously it's better not to keep the surface.

Except for the prince and concubine participating in the grand ceremony, the other two princes had never brought wives and concubines. Mu Jin asked in a low voice, "Your second brother is not young yet, have you married yet?"

"It's not a marriage, it's just a few concubines, so I'm not eligible to participate in the grand ceremony."

Obediently, it's really feudal!

Mu Jin has never been able to understand the difference between a concubine and a concubine, a regular wife and a concubine in ancient times. Aren't they all his own children, aren't they all his wives?

"The ceremony begins!" The Minister of Rites shouted.

The princes and princesses took their seats one by one, the prince was on the left, the princess was on the right, they sat in order of elder and younger, followed by the low-ranking concubines in each palace, because this grand ceremony was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and because Shangguan Ling intended to betroth Shangguan Yan to Li Zixu , so Li Zixu and Li Zizhong were also invited to participate.

There were also envoys from the Southern Dynasties, the Southern Man and the Beimu countries. They were all smiling, but they were secretly planning their own plans.

Wal Siqing took a sip of wine, looked at the absent Eunuch De in front of the palace, logically speaking, the eunuch should stay by the emperor's side every step of the way.

The maid on the side said softly: "Princess, people have sneaked in."

Wal Siqing nodded, "Regardless of success or failure this time, we have to leave the country of He."

"Yes!"

Lu Wanyi glanced at the anxious Hua Jieyu, and then at the busy empress, she brought two maids, the eldest girl and Xiaoying, she turned her head sideways and said, "Big girl, after the ceremony is over, follow me Visit Shi Guifei."

"Yes." The eldest girl nodded, she clenched her hands tightly, and glanced at the eldest son-in-law who was chatting and laughing with Princess Hexu, still unable to make a decision in her hesitant mind.

But after losing this opportunity, when should I be able to stand out, and when will I be able to get attention.

The musician slowly played joyful music. Shangguan Yan was dressed in clothes and shoes, and just stepped into the main hall slowly. She couldn't help but glance around the hall. The concubine gently led her, took her to the front of the hall step by step, and handed her over to the queen.

The little eunuch on the side was holding the hairpins, hairpins, and hairpin crowns that Jiji needed, and Shangguan Ling's eyes were loving, "The lonely swallow has really grown up!"

Shangguan Yan smiled implicitly. At this moment, she was naturally the focus of all attention. Many people showed praise in their eyes, and Li Zixu's eyes must be the same.

"The one who is in place is in place!"

Shangguan Yan walked in front of the futon, followed by a series of tedious etiquettes such as washing, congratulating speeches, adding hairpins, and changing clothes.

In the end, it is estimated that it will be exhausting.

Shangguan Ruo blinked at Mu Jin, smiled, raised his glass and drank it all. Mu Jin responded with a sip, "Did your fourth brother's biological mother leave very early?"

"En!" Shangguan Yue recalled, "When I was young, I also heard some old maids say that the mother and concubine of the fourth brother were brought back by the father's southern tour. After the emperor's brother, he was gradually neglected, and when the fourth brother was four years old, his mother and concubine went crazy, and because of this, her own appearance was ruined, and she hanged herself the next year."

"My God, the life experience of the fourth brother is too pitiful." Mu Jin also gradually lost favor with Shangguan Ling. He married a wife but was unable to protect him. He is really a scumbag of the century. "Then what happened next?"

"Later, I was sent to the foster care of the third brother's mother and concubine. I vaguely remember that the fourth brother was not happy. Perhaps because of this, I and the fourth brother are like brothers." Shangguan Yue frowned , seemed to think of something, then she shook her head and said: "It should be a coincidence."

"What coincidence?"

Shangguan Yue thought carefully, "When I was young, Brother Sanhuang was kind to others, and sometimes he would take care of me a little bit, but after the death of the three emperor brothers, mother and concubine, not only did his personality change drastically, he also targeted me everywhere."

"It may be that there is nowhere to vent the sadness." Seeing her frowning, Mu Jin held her hand tightly, "Everyone is dead, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless."

"Forget it!" Although Shangguan Yue's tone was relaxed, there was probably a fog in his heart that could not be dispelled.

At the end of the Jiji ceremony, Shangguan Ling also formally named Shangguan Yan Princess Yuzhu, implying the jewel in the palm, and the palace is also located near Li Zixu's house, which was also chosen by Shangguan Yan herself.

Mu Jin was slightly puzzled, "You and the third princess both have titles, but does the second princess have titles?"

Shangguan Yue shook his head, "Never."

Then these two princesses are indeed unpopular!

Mu Jin caught a glimpse of Shangguan Yun's ferocious eyes from the corner of his eye, obviously complaining about this matter, and with his crazy character, he might want to do something crazy again.

Naturally, Shangguan Yue also noticed Shangguan Yun's ferocious eyes, and she was secretly vigilant.

The envoys of the Southern Dynasty stood up suddenly, "Congratulations to the Holy Majesty of He Kingdom, you really have both sons and daughters, talents and looks, how about the Majesty and the ministers come together and add congratulations?"

When Shangguan Yan heard the words, she suddenly panicked, looking at Shangguan Ling's calm face, she felt even more terrified.

"Oh, please come to the envoy in detail."

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty smiled, "In the Southern Dynasty, I originally used Ducheng and Liaocheng in the southern border as engagements, and pre-married Princess Yuzhu!"

"what!"

Li Zixu paused, and turned his gaze to Shang Guanyan, only to see her face turned pale and she bit her lower lip tightly.

Shangguan Yan didn't care about etiquette, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, I don't want to marry."

Shangguan Ling glanced coldly, and Shangguan Yan suddenly fell silent.

"Ah—two cities for employment, the temptation is too great, my father may agree." Shangguan Yue was worried, but his face was still frosty, making it difficult for others to guess.

Shangguan Ling sat down, pondered and said: "The Southern Dynasty has such a big hand, I wonder which prince is interested in the lonely Yan'er?"

The corner of Nan Chao's mouth curled up, hiding the sarcasm in his eyes, "Of course it's the current Holy One!"

"What!" Everyone exclaimed.

This Southern Dynasty is too shameless, let a little girl who has just reached Ji marry an old man, and this old man is still the emperor, maybe someone will be named to be buried with him after death!

"Cough cough..." Shangguan Ling couldn't help but angrily patted the incense table. He felt uncomfortable in his chest. He coughed, but when he remembered his identity, he slowly suppressed his emotions, "Are you here?" Do you humiliate Gu?"

"How dare my servants." The envoy of the Southern Dynasty cupped his hands and said again: "My emperor is not feeling well, and the eldest prince is worried, so he wants to find a match for his father and be happy for a daughter of your fate, and this daughter happens to be the son of heaven. daughter, whose horoscope matches my emperor, this person must be Princess Yuzhu."

The day when the royal family gave birth to a child is basically known to the common people of all countries. As long as they are willing to check, it is not difficult to know the horoscope of the birth date.

Seeing that Shangguan Yan was trembling with anger, Mu Jin didn't dare to say anything, so he immediately stood up and said, "The two cities want to exchange the princess of He Kingdom, and you are really arrogant in the Southern Dynasty..."

Shangguan Yue immediately pulled Mu Jin, "Don't be impulsive."

Mu Jin had to swallow the next words.

"Your country, please listen to what I have to say." The envoy of the Southern Dynasty clasped his hands again and said, "Your country has been battling all these years, and the national treasury must be empty. The two cities we gifted are rich lands, and the annual agricultural products are also abundant. "

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty took out a scroll: "If your country agrees to this marriage, our Southern Dynasty originally provided [-] excellent war horses, [-] deniers of grain and grass, and signed an alliance agreement with your country. If the two countries are in trouble, they can help each other."

As soon as the conditions were announced, everyone was in an uproar!

"The Southern Dynasty is really big enough." Seeing Shangguan Ling wavering, Mu Jin sighed helplessly, "Your father may agree."

"Yes! Yesterday's premonition seemed to be very accurate." Shangguan Yue pursed her lips, "How could it be possible for the Southern Dynasty to give up the two cities for the sake of a woman? The rejoicing is just a deception."

"You mean..."

"Hush, be quiet." Shangguan Yue said quietly.

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty waited quietly. He knew that the conditions were attractive, but it was not enough for a princess to marry someone who was about to enter the earth, otherwise it would become the laughing stock of the people.He is so aggressive, just laying the foundation for the future.

Shangguan Ling let out a long sigh, and Shangguan Yan's heart suddenly turned cold. At this moment, Li Zixu stood up suddenly and said: "My lord, Nan Chao has the heart of a jackal. I have already married an eldest princess. If we marry Princess Yuzhu again, How should the two of them deal with themselves, and how should the world laugh at us?"

Shangguan Ling didn't know this. The Southern Dynasty seemed to use rich strategic materials as a dowry gift, but it was actually telling him that the Southern Dynasty had enough troops, food and grass, and this was a threat.

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty frowned and said: "As long as the Holy Majesty agrees and signs an agreement, our court can immediately send horses and food."

Shangguan Yun suddenly "giggled" at this moment, the laughter was full of ridicule and gloating.She held up a wine glass and toasted the envoys of the Southern Dynasty, "Father, the conditions for opening the Southern Dynasty are very good. The third sister will be taken care of by her aunt after she gets married. As a royal princess, she should devote herself to the people."

"Second Sister!" Shangguan Yan covered her mouth, somewhat unable to understand why her second sister would say that, "You... how could you..."

"How can what?" Shangguan Yun shook his glass, "Am I wrong?"

"Enough!" Shangguan Ling was so angry with the two of them that his throat tickled and he couldn't help coughing again.

Li Zixu glanced at Mu Jin, finally gritted his teeth, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I like Princess Yuzhu, please don't marry the princess!"

When the envoys of the Southern Dynasty heard the words, they immediately bowed their heads in harmony and became tough, "If your country does not agree, I don't mind sending troops to greet you in person."

"Ahem..." Shangguan Ling thumped his heart.

Shangguan slapped the table angrily, "Too much bullying, do you really think we are incompetent? If there is a war, there will be no cowards in He Country."

Mu Jin nodded in agreement.

"How about this, let's take a step back each." The envoy of the Southern Dynasty smiled, "We don't send the two cities away, but how about asking for the fifth prince's marriage with the horses and grass as the betrothal gift?"

Mu Jin and Shangguan Yue looked at each other in dismay!

"This..." Shangguan Ling visibly relaxed.

The envoy of the Southern Dynasty explained without haste, "The fifth prince has not yet married a wife, and he is as old as Princess Yuzhu. It is also a joy for the two to get married."

"It's easy to calculate." Shangguan Yue smiled lightly, "It's not a bad thing."

Indeed, if the fifth prince is a woman, then Shangguan Yan will marry her; not only will she be taken care of by the eldest princess, but she will also be protected by the fifth prince. At least if the country of He is not defeated, she will be safe.

"Then what about Li Zixu?"

"I can see that he doesn't like Yan'er." Shangguan Yue stared sideways at Mu Jin, "But you, you have to keep a distance from him in the future."

"Yes, yes, ma'am."
