I heard my brother is a tyrant

"Is there any more?" Xie Dan asked her after wiping.

"It's gone." Ye Chu smiled.

Xie Dan threw away the veil and watched her carefully, while Ye Chu turned his head to show him the bun, and asked, "Does it look good?"

"It's beautiful. My An'an is the prettiest."

"You don't know, from morning to now, I have done almost nothing else, just combing my hair and putting on makeup. My waist is sore."

The youngest unmarried daughter doesn't wear a bun at home, so she usually just pulls up a bun, but she doesn't know that combing a bun is so complicated and troublesome, and she just sits there for an hour or two just to comb her hair and put on makeup.

She slumped her shoulders and muttered: "If a woman has to comb her hair like this every day after she gets married, it will be too troublesome. I don't even want to marry you."

"Where do you wear such a complicated bun in daily life? Naturally, it's comfortable at home." Xie Dan smiled. After they got married, the queen would always have some occasions when she needed to dress up, and she couldn't avoid it. It can be predicted that every time the little girl puts on her makeup After dressing up for a few hours, I feel annoyed when I have to pout and act like a baby again.

He played with the string of bracelets on her wrist, making a crisp sound of jingling. Such a string of bracelets is beautiful to wear. It is indeed extravagant, but not light.

He held her delicate jade white fingers and played with them, his eyes were deep, and he smiled meaningfully: "An An is 16 years old."

"That's right." Ye Chu nodded, and said with some pride, "So you can't treat me like a child in the future, you always treat me like a child, you keep many things from me, if it's not because you are My brother, I have been really annoyed with you for a long time."

Xie Dan smiled, Ye Chu pouted and said: "You still laugh, let's talk about it first, if you lie to me about anything in the future, I will be really angry."

"Then what will happen when An An gets angry?" Xie Dan played with her little hand, held it, let go, and said with a smile, "I don't have so many things to hide from you, and there shouldn't be any in the future. If we make an agreement, If I lie to you again, don't get angry yourself, just tell me, or you can beat me up, okay?"

"You know that I can't beat you." The little girl lowered her head slightly and thought for a while, then said seriously, "Brother, I know that marrying the emperor is not such a simple matter, you are not only my brother and husband, you are also the emperor. Even if God, you have failed me, I probably can't do anything to you, at most... I can only feel sad."

As she talked, her little face couldn't help but feel a little lonely, and she sighed softly, "My father betrayed my mother, and my mother can still leave him. If you don't allow me, let alone leave you, I will not even leave you." You can't even get out of the palace gate."

"..." Xie Dan was silent, reached out and hugged her into his arms, and asked seriously, "What's the matter, did someone tell you something today, why did you say such a thing suddenly? An An, I have something to tell my brother. "

"It's nothing, I just heard that people in the DPRK have submitted letters to the general election one after another." Turning her head slightly, the little girl showed a helpless smile on her face, and said, "Our wedding date has not yet been set, and someone has already worried about it for you." It's time to accept a few concubines."

"Brother, don't blame anyone who told me. Didn't my brother agree? The person who told me these words originally wanted to flatter me and praise me for being the emperor's favorite." She sighed softly, pouted and said, "Brother , do we have to face these in the future, why are you the emperor?"

"An'an..." Xie Dan folded her five fingers together and wrapped her little hand in the palm of her hand, a trace of cruelty flashed across her eyes.

The girl in front of her has grown up unknowingly, her body has become much healthier, her person has become much more lively, her appearance is so beautiful that people can't take her eyes off her, but she is still the sensitive and restless little girl she used to be.

It's not just for the general election. She may not know that there are rumors that the emperor likes delicate and weak women, and several families have specially selected delicate and delicate women to train.What's more intriguing is that most of the people who supported the general election this time were civil servants, and the reasons for calling for the general election were also very good. The sixth palace was vacant, and the marriage of the empress and empress was imminent.

They are all important officials of the imperial court, and each of them has nine twists and turns in their stomachs. Who would really care about the matter on the emperor's dragon bed.They keep saying that they are spreading branches and leaves for the royal family, and for the balance of the court. The civil servants are worried that the generals will gain the upper hand, that the loyal king's line will dominate, or that they want to put someone in the palace. A group of people.

Xie Dan bowed his head, kissed her soft little hand, smiled reassuringly and said: "Celebrate your birthday well, this kind of thing is worth your displeasure, An An, this is all my business, blame me, I will handle it well Yes, you trust brother."

"Well, I believe it." The little girl said softly and slowly, "No matter what, An An just wants to be with her brother, and I don't want to care about anything else."

"Then don't worry about it. You don't need to worry about it." Xie Dan looked at her with a gentle smile, bowed his head and kissed her.

He didn't want the little girl to be immersed in such emotions, so he fiddled with a string of bracelets on her wrist, changed the subject and said with a smile: "An'an, when I go back, I will ask Sifang to make some bracelets with small bells, armbands, etc. Wear it for you, okay, what kind do you like?"

"Okay," Ye Chu said, "It should be more delicate and delicate, not so heavy, it won't hurt your wrist after wearing it all day."

When she went out early in the morning, the maid was dressing her up, Ye Chu shook the bracelet in his hand and joked with himself, asking the maid how much it weighed.

She actually doesn't like wearing so many and such heavy bracelets, but all the ladies and ladies in Beijing wear them like this, I really don't understand.Moreover, ladies and gentlemen still have the ability to wear five or six bracelets on one hand, and they can still pour tea calmly without jingling.

The carriage returned to the princess's mansion, and went straight into the outer courtyard, the maid brought the foot pads, but Xie Dan carried Ye Chu out of the carriage, and took her by the hand to go back to the main courtyard.

He led her into her room, took her to sit down in front of the dressing table, pulled out the golden phoenix hairpin from her head, and took off the beaded flowers all over her head, while asking the maid to fetch water for her. She washes her face.

Ye Chu didn't really like having a face full of make-up and powder. He felt like his face was covered with something. After washing it, he took off the headgear, undid his bun, removed a bunch of hairpins, bracelets, bracelets and jade pendants, and returned the luxurious and graceful Zhai on the outside. I left the apricot-yellow skirt inside, and put on a soft and homely cherry pink woven flower beanie, which made me feel much more refreshed.

The little girl was going to collapse for a while.Xie Dan didn't let her go, he pulled her back to the dressing table, took a comb to comb her hair, dipped in osmanthus oil, smoothed her long black and soft hair, and played it on her head.

"Brother, what are you doing?" Ye Chu couldn't help laughing when he saw his movements in the mirror, "Could it be that you want to give me a bun?"

"Well," Xie Dan carefully combed a strand of her hair, and said, "Today you are as old as Ji, it doesn't count if others comb it, I will comb it for you."

The wife he raised by himself, he wants to give her a hairpin with his own hands.

In the past, when she was young, he also combed her hair, but for a little girl, a simple braid and a small braid would do. Now, he really doesn't have much confidence in combing her hair in a serious way. The nanny who combed her hair learned it a few times.

He combed her hair carefully, slowly and cautiously. He couldn't comb her hair in a bun that was too complicated. He combed her hair meticulously and tied it into a fluffy single bun on the top of her head. He took a white jade wishful The long red gold hairpin on the head of the hairpin is tied up.

Ye Chu shook his head slightly, raised his hand to support the long hairpin, looked at him in the mirror and smiled.Xie Dan looked at the hairstyle, picked from the pile of makeup boxes in front of her and didn't find one she was satisfied with, so she simply went to the vase next to her and took a purple rose flower to match, and put it on the side of her bun.

Ye Chu stood up, leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, smiled and pulled him to sit down.

Xie Dan discussed the wedding with her.It's already May, and Qin Tianjian picked a few days for the emperor's wedding. Xie Dan selected two after screening, and asked her: "An'an, October 28th, Dongyue [-]th, what do I think about these two days? Better, which do you prefer?"

The Empress Dowager passed away at the end of August last year. Xie Dan, as a grandson, had to serve a one-year beheading according to the etiquette, and because his father, Emperor Sejong, was no longer around, he served the funeral for the Empress Dowager. The filial piety of the emperor.After three years of civil service, the emperor used the day to represent the year, so Xie Dan kept filial piety for 27 days.But happy events and big weddings are better avoided, so the few auspicious days reported by Qin Tianjian are all after August, autumn and winter.

"These two days are about the same." Ye Chu thought for a while, then smiled, "Autumn harvest and winter storage, I prefer Dongyue."

"I think so too. Dongyue and autumn harvest are over, and the whole world is idle, just waiting for our big wedding." Xie Dan said, "That's it, Dongyue 28. I plan to make an order for Mrs. Han to do it for you." Prepare to marry, do you think it will work?"

"Do you want to start preparing so early?"

"It's not too early. Some things have been prepared since our engagement ceremony department and the palace." Xie Dan laughed.

What a big event the empress's wedding is. It takes several months to complete the empress's wedding dress, auspicious clothes, and tiara, as well as all kinds of embroidery and jewelry... every year or half a year, That would be too hasty.

"Don't talk about the great marriage of the emperor and empress. It's a civil marriage. If you can be particular about it, you should be particular about it. Who doesn't want to be more particular about it." Xie Dan smiled. Looking at her, she always felt that she looked very good-looking today, especially when he combed her hair with his own hands. It looks better.

Ye Chu thought for a while. It turned out that the two of them had to prepare so much for their wedding. She smiled and said, "Today, the eldest princess told me to start embroidering the wedding dress when I came back. I heard that girls' wedding dresses are all I embroidered it myself, what can I do, I don’t even know how to do it.”

"No, it's just what I said." Xie Tan smiled, "Let's not talk about the queen, the wedding dress of a rich family's daughter is often embroidered by embroiderers for a month or two, so how could it be possible to embroider it by myself. I asked about this before, At that time, the secretary will leave a few stitches for you, and let you finish the embroidery by yourself, implying that you embroidered it yourself."

That's okay, Ye Chu said with a smile: "I'm also thinking that I can't embroider all by myself, then if I embroider for three to five years, you will have something to wait for."

"Then I'd better consider robbing the bride, and leave as soon as I rob, so as to save trouble." Xie Dan said.The two laughed.

"I'm going to order Mrs. Han to prepare for your marriage, do you think it's okay?"

Of course Ye Chu said yes, there must be an elder in the family to prepare for marriage, Mrs. Han must be the most suitable.Speaking of Ye Yu, Xie Dan thought of something, so he told her about it.

"There is a happy event at your aunt's house. She may not know it yet, but the official decree will be sent to Xuanpinghou's mansion tomorrow."

"What happy event, Mr. Han has been promoted again?" Ye Chu asked.

"It's not a promotion." Xie Dan said with a smile, "Xuan Ping Hou sent a note from Suizhou, and wrote a letter to ask Han Ziyun to be his son."

Ye Chu was a little surprised, and asked: "I seem to have heard this matter from my aunt. The eldest son of Marquis Xuanping is dead. Isn't there a second son? My aunt said that Mr. Han always thought that he was not destined to be the eldest son. Last year, he went to Suizhou to visit When I left, I told my aunt that I should rely on my military achievements to enshrine my wife and son, and not let my aunt be wronged."

"Xuan Ping Hou wrote a book himself, saying that his second son hurt his eyes and lost face on the battlefield a few years ago, so he suggested that Xuan Ping Hou make Han Ziyun his eldest son." Xie Dan said.

The three generations of military generals in the Xuanping Hou Mansion have a good family tradition.Although the eldest son of Marquis Xuanping went the wrong way, the second son --------------/Yiyiy?Hua/ is a sensible person, the second son of Marquis Xuanping has a moderate temperament and lacks some courage in military affairs Xie Dan has seen this for a long time, and some people in the court have also seen it, but Xuan Ping Hou was trapped in the order of his elders and young, so he has been hesitating.

But for the imperial court, the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion is an important official of the imperial court. If it is succeeded by a son with mediocre talents and the northwest border is unstable, the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion may also decline in this generation.

Han Ziyun performed well in the war with Beifan last year and this spring, and made great contributions. I am afraid that only the third son, who was not valued at the beginning, can be the successor of the Xuanping Hou Mansion. If Han Ziyun hadn't been placed there, Xie Dan has long considered placing a successor in the Northwest Army, and the Xuanping Hou Mansion may soon be replaced.

Now that the second son brought it up on the grounds that his eyes and face were injured, he should have seen the situation clearly and took a step back. On the other hand, it would be good for everyone.

Ye Chu smiled and said: "In this way, my aunt is the wife of Shi Zi. It is indeed a happy event. I have to ask someone to send a congratulatory gift tomorrow."

Xie Dan looked at her and smiled, Han Ziyun was worthy, but the emperor had to give him this chance.The little girl may not have figured it out yet, the Great Zhou established the country with martial arts, and now she has the Prince Zhong's Mansion and the Marquis of Xuanping's Mansion behind her, probably no one in the world can shake the Queen's position anymore.

The next day, Xie Dan formally decreed and set the wedding date in the early court.After the congratulatory congratulations by the officials, as expected, several civil servants invited the general election, claiming that they are preparing for the general election now and deciding on candidates, just in time to enrich the Six Palaces before and after the emperor's wedding, so as to spread branches and leaves for the royal family.

It should be said that taking concubines at the same time in a big marriage is a practice that many high-ranking and wealthy families will do, just like when nobles married their daughters, they would marry several concubines at the same time.

The reason is that it is not good for the main wife to openly take concubines before she enters the door. The main wife marries because of her family status. After the main wife enters the door, she can openly take concubines, and the concubines are used to serve others in Israel and reproduce children.The so-called starting a family and starting a business means to complete this major event in life, and take advantage of the wedding to take care of the concubine, so as to save another happy event.

But used in the imperial court, the emperor's wedding and general election at the same time is nothing more than a technique of balancing constraints.

Xie Dan thought of the lonely and sensitive expression of the little girl in the carriage yesterday, and couldn't help brewing a wave of anger in his heart.

Xie Tan said lightly: "There is no need to mention the matter of the general election, I have no such considerations."

How could the courtiers who invited the general election just give up so easily? Several people advised them one after another, saying that the front and rear palaces are all integrated, and that since ancient times, the emperors have been exposed to the rain and dew, and they should not be favored by one.

Xie Dan said: "When I got married that day, you said that Ye's daughter was born in a humble background, and now she is a princess, and everyone in the court knows her background, but you advised me not to be alone, and to beware of the loyal family. I don’t need to go into details about my main thoughts, as an important minister of the imperial court, you should have all the people in the world in mind, so I don’t need others to worry about things in the Empress Palace.”

Yushi Zhongcheng bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are nothing more than for the royal family to continue to procreate and spread branches and leaves. I heard that Princess Duanning has been weak and sick since childhood, and I am afraid that it will not be good for the heirs. The ministers and others are painstaking. Your Majesty is a great Zhou. Son of Heaven, the heirs of the emperor are the foundation of the country, Your Majesty should enrich the harem with rain and dew, spread branches and leaves for the royal family, so that the royal descendants will prosper."

"Come here——" Xie Dan's face changed, his eyes looked at him coldly, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said in a softer voice, "I heard that people who don't know each other will wish a happy life together, The house is full of children and grandchildren, I and the princess have just set an auspicious wedding day today, and the prime minister Wang Si in the censor actually said such vicious words that are unfavorable to the heirs. As a subject, he is disloyal; To, his heart can be punished. It is unbearable to be a courtier, and even more unbearable to be a human being. Wang Si, for being unfaithful and unkind, I have given you the crime of cursing the king, is it not wronged?"

Wang Bang's face turned pale immediately, and the guards outside the hall came in at the sound and stood on both sides of him, waiting for orders.Wang Si hurriedly bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I absolutely have no such intention..."

Xie Dan stared at Wang Bang, his voice was soft and flat, but he spit out two words coldly: "Stand dead!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Several courtiers who came to remonstrate also found that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang made a slip of the tongue for a while, and he never meant it. Please forgive me, Your Majesty, please calm down!"

"Wang Si cursed me with his own mouth, and all the officials in the hall heard it with their own ears. You still want to intercede for him, where is this going to put me!"

Xie Dan said indifferently, "I'll order you guys to watch the execution and see with your own eyes what the fate of such vicious people will be."
