[Comprehensive Wear] It's hard to be a princess

When Li Guogong's government went through the process of Shangzhu, Liu Fang's heart was bleeding.Although the princess's dowry is rich, she needs money, property, and people, but these cannot fall into the government of Liguo, but the betrothal gift must go from the government of Liguo.How honorable the princess is, naturally the six rituals must also be precious.Among other things, in the past, wild geese were used in five of the six rituals, but this thing was not available all the time, so it was simplified later. At the beginning, wild geese were carved with wood, and later the dowry became more and more Heavier, richer ones make fuss on wooden geese, paint some gold powder and silver powder or something, and richer ones use copper geese, and some are covered with gold and silver.Like Li Guogong’s mansion, they are all from the family of the Duke, can you get a copper goose to fool the royal family?Therefore, the golden goose was directly used, and a golden goose cost hundreds of taels of gold. Just for this alone, the government of Liguo spent a lot of money.What's more, there must be other betrothal gifts. After all, the person in charge of this matter is the wife of Master Liu. After all, the money from the public will not fall into the hands of my son. It is better to make my son's marriage decent. Therefore, the betrothal gift was so generous, and Liu Fang and his wife almost got away with it. In short, this time the government of Liguo was bleeding a lot!

Xia Zhu is an inquisitive person. She recognized a Sansao eunuch as her younger brother outside. These Sansao eunuchs look inconspicuous, but in fact they are well informed. Of course, they also know what to say and what not to say, but reasonable As for the dowry of the Duke's Mansion, it's nothing to get the news.The betrothal gift of the Liguo Duke's Mansion is very generous. This kind of nobleman at the founding of the country embezzled a lot of things when he conquered the world. However, many things are not so easy to sell, so they can only be left in the warehouse to eat ashes.Now that he has pulled out a part of it as a bride price for Princess Fengyu, it looks very respectable.

Xia Zhu was talking vividly about the four glazed screens in the dowry, as well as agate and pomegranate ornaments, these things are actually not common in the palace, like glazed screens, these things are really not cheap in this era The Central Plains has long had the technology of making glass, but unlike foreign countries who want to make the glass pure, the Central Plains here is to burn the glass into various colors, which is the so-called medicinal jade. To put it bluntly, it is to use Come to fake jade to make various accessories.But this glazed screen is different. The glass screen is an imported product. It is inlaid with transparent glass. The colorless and transparent one is top-grade, and the other is inlaid with colored glass. This is too fancy, so most people don’t like it. use.However, the glazed screen is different. It requires certain skills to burn certain patterns on the glazed glass, like the mica screen. Besides, a small kang screen is fine, and a larger screen needs to be painted. It is not an easy task in this era to burn colored glaze into a large flat piece, so this colored glaze screen is becoming more and more rare.Therefore, there are many mica screens, ivory screens, jade screens, painted, embroidered, and silk screens that the palace wants to find, but the glass screens are ordinary, and the palace doesn’t like them. You have to worry about one being accidentally broken, so there are a few pieces, most of which are stored in the warehouse. When the higher-ups think of it, take it out and use it. Usually, other kinds of screens are used more.

Aunt Su said with a smile on the side: "This Li Guogong's mansion can be regarded as a bit sincere, after all, His Highness is the first princess, their family said it was the first of the Guogong family, but in fact it is now the Marquis's mansion, and it is possible to honor a concubine." Princess, there is no reason not to care!" Aunt Su is used to seeing good things, Emperor Qianyuan was originally an ordinary prince, and the crown prince did not last long. However, Emperor Qianyuan directly inherited the private treasury of the first emperor, and he was also very concerned about the Empress Yuan at that time. Therefore, during the several years of the Empress Yuan, all the good things like running water were sent to the Empress Yuan Palace. Later, the private house of the Empress Yuan was almost equally divided between the two children, and even Feng Yu shared more, and almost all the jewelry that was not exclusive to the queen was distributed to Feng Yu.These years, Aunt Su is mainly in charge of Fengyu's warehouse, so if Aunt Su talks about the good things she has seen, she must be much better than those maids around Fengyu.

Zhao Momo was on the side, her expression was quite gentle. After Feng Yu's marriage was settled, she begged Emperor Qianyuan to wait for Zhao Momo to leave the palace so that she could choose an adopted son by herself. In order to provide for the elderly, the main purpose is to worship after death. After all, no matter how good Madam Zhao is, she is just a servant girl. The royal family can provide for her to provide for the elderly, but the royal family can’t control so much about the sacrifices after death. Also buried in the imperial mausoleum, as a slave, continue to serve the royal family after death, this is too tragic.At least Zhao Mammy didn't commit such a crime, so after Feng Yu said that she would choose an honest adopted son to adopt, Zhao Mammy glowed.In fact, Emperor Qianyuan had thought about letting Madam Zhao adopt an orphan in the clan as his heir, but Emperor Qianyuan grew up in the palace after all, and many things were not clear at all. For the common people, the clan is often more terrifying than the king's law too much.If he really chooses the orphan in the adoptive clan, maybe the clan can use this heir to embezzle his own property, and then lock himself up in the name of keeping the chastity, and no one else can interfere at all.In other words, having one more heir like this would mean an uncontrollable risk for him.But what Feng Yu meant was that Mother Zhao could go to the Yangshengtang to adopt a child. Anyway, she was not short of money, so she hired a few servants to raise her as her own grandson, and with the backing of the Princess Mansion, who could Pointing fingers at her, saying too much won't do!

Zhao Mama has always been very Buddhist in Fengyu's place. After all, she used to have no desires, but now it is different. After all, Emperor Qianyuan is the emperor. Although he takes care of them old people, it is impossible to do everything properly. She is not like Nanny Sun, she is surrounded by children and grandchildren, and she only needs to use the name of a holy lady, but she is an old widow without a husband or children, even if she has an order, she returns to her husband The family will only end up being eaten up and wiped clean.And as long as she was still alive, Emperor Qianyuan would only think that she was honored and raised by the clan when asked.Therefore, Mother Zhao would rather stay in the palace as a female official than return to the clan.

But now Feng Yu gave her another possibility, that is, she didn't need to set up a female household, and with the help of the power of the Princess Mansion, she could adopt a few children in a dignified manner, become an old feudal monarch, and enjoy the family happiness.Therefore, Mother Zhao has become more active now. She has been in the palace for a long time. Although she has been relatively low-key, she knows a lot. The auspicious day of the zodiac has already been set, and the choice is late September. The weather is not too cold or hot at this moment, and the wedding will not suffer much.Nanny Zhao quietly told Feng Yu some tricks about the preparation of the dowry by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, for example, repainting the furniture of the dead princesses before, pretending to be new furniture or something. In fact, for those princesses who are not favored, they This has always been the case, even for favored princesses, they will secretly withhold a considerable part of good wood, and then refurbish it with old furniture to replace it.Not to mention the princess, that's what they usually do when they repair houses for the palace.You hear the Ministry of Internal Affairs say where to apply for repairs, and then tell you how much it will cost. In fact, most of the things in those places that are reported for repairs are usable, and what they give you is the cost of all replacements. In fact, They're at best refurbished, just another coat of paint.

After Mother Zhao quietly reminded her, Feng Yu went directly to Tu Jingchen, and borrowed people from the East Palace to supervise the work in the House of Internal Affairs. If there is a mistake, then not only will they not be able to eat and walk around this time, but they are also afraid that the previous things will be revealed, so they all became more honest all of a sudden.

After Tu Jingchen knew about it, he became more and more dissatisfied with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Emperor Qianyuan felt that as long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs served well, then there was nothing to be greedy at all. One point, I'm afraid everyone put the royal money in their pockets, it's shameless!

However, Tu Jingchen also knows that with his status, it is really not easy to attack the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After all, it is like a family. Lord's people.As far as the House of Internal Affairs is concerned, although the emperor, the empress, the princes and even the concubines are considered masters, the real master is only the emperor. Therefore, as long as Emperor Qianyuan does not want to attack the House of Internal Affairs, then Tu Jingchen thinks that the House of Household Affairs is unreliable. He can only be envious.

Faced with the matter of getting married, Feng Yu is not as shy as an ordinary girl. After all, she has experienced too many such things. What she is looking forward to more is that after leaving the palace, many things will be more convenient. As a princess, She can almost be regarded as the most free among all the princesses, but the number of times she can go out of the palace is also very limited.Tu Jingchen was even more sad, he was the least free among the group of older princes, even on holidays, without Emperor Qianyuan's permission, he could only stay in the East Palace.

Now several princes have been conferred the title of king to open the mansion. Although they are all conferred as county kings, when they will be granted the title depends on Emperor Qianyuan's mood!It is much easier for the prince who opened the mansion to do things than the prince who was trapped in the East Palace.And after Feng Yu left the palace, he gave Liu Fu a spare job in the East Palace, so Liu Fu could often enter the palace, and some things could be handled through Feng Yu.

However, Feng Yu did not elaborate on this idea to Tu Jingchen. Although Tu Jingchen has now realized that his situation is not so good, the attitude of Emperor Qianyuan still gave him considerable confidence. Therefore, Tu Jingchen now He didn't think about forming a party for personal gain or anything, and he didn't think about how to operate outside the palace for a while.

It's a pity that many things were forced out. Tu Jingchen felt that he didn't need it, but other people had already started to make troubles secretly.
