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

Feng Yu felt that her going out of the palace would be a help to Tu Jingchen, and other people naturally knew about it.In particular, Feng Yu married Liguo Gongfu, which still has a certain influence in the army. For example, Liu Fang, the eldest son of Liguo Gongfu, works in Wucheng Bingma Division, while Beijing Among them, the soldiers and horses in the eight scriptures are nothing more than the Beijing camp, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities, plus the palace guards, and Jia Daishan, who manages the festival. This son is a brother-in-law of the prince. Dang, now even the five city soldiers and horses are related to the prince. Doesn't it mean that most of the soldiers and horses in the capital are under the control of the East Palace?

Even if the East Palace doesn't have this intention, it is still unacceptable for the few princes who are determined to seize the throne. Originally, the older princes in the palace were more or less related to nobles. His titles are all three-digit numbers, such as viscounts and captains of cloud cavalry, first-class generals and other titles are divided into a bunch. Of course, the two generations of lower titles here will come to an end They still think of themselves as nobles. In fact, even if they still have official positions, they can be regarded as being kicked out of the ranks of nobles.With no way to advance through the imperial examinations and no chance to fight, he can only take advantage of the fact that he still has some influence in the army to speculate on standing in line.

Therefore, whether it is Tu Jingping or Tu Jingning, or even the smaller Tu Jingze and Tu Jinglin, they now more or less have some people around them, like Tu Jingze and Tu Jinglin, but for the time being He didn't have the idea of ​​seizing the heir, but if he has someone in his hand, he will be able to get some benefits in the future.

Regarding the works of several sons, Emperor Qianyuan also turned a blind eye. To put it bluntly, if a group of sons were really on the side of the prince, the one who couldn't sit still would be Emperor Qianyuan.This kind of thing is originally the emperor's mind, and even if Emperor Qianyuan loves the prince Tu Jingchen the most, but for the other sons, it is not without father-son affection. If the sons want to make troubles, let them make troubles. The prince is not cruel and ruthless, and he will not hurt his brothers. If they go too far later, they will beat them, and wait until the prince ascends the throne to show kindness, and then the brothers will be harmonious, wouldn't it be better?

The ass determines the head, and Emperor Qianyuan wishfully thought that a group of sons might fight for their brains in the future, and they could still be brothers and friends, but for Tu Jingchen, this was actually Emperor Qianyuan's love for him. A test or even a warning is like telling him that someone can replace him at any time, which naturally makes it difficult for Tu Jingchen to relax.

In the past, Tu Jingchen felt that the imperial palace was his home, but now he has realized that the imperial palace is actually only his father's home, but he is like a prisoner, the people who serve him seem to be slaves, but in fact they are also slaves. Can be regarded as jailers, these people will most likely be more loyal to their father when they face themselves and their father.Among other things, the chief eunuchs of the East Palace are all from Daming Palace, they are Liang Zhong's disciples and grandchildren, so what's the matter with me, who can guarantee that they won't go to Daming Palace to report immediately?

On the surface, Tu Jingchen is still the same as before, but in fact, his city is much deeper than before.The only one he can trust now is his younger sister, Feng Yu. He may not even trust the Crown Princess, because between himself and the family, the Crown Princess may not necessarily choose himself, or even between the child and himself. , but Feng Yu is different. Feng Yu's interests are the same as those of Tu Jingchen. Once Tu Jingchen fails, then Feng Yu, the first princess, will be knocked into the dust. She may not die, but I'm afraid it will be worse than death. All uncomfortable.

Therefore, for Feng Yu's marriage, the elder brother Tu Jingchen is still very concerned. After he came back from Daming Palace, he went to the backyard to see his son first, and then asked the crown princess: "In a few days, I will give you my son." My sister has added makeup, you can go back to the warehouse to have a look, if there is something suitable, add it to her!"

The Crown Princess pursed her lips and smiled: "I know His Highness loves my sister, I have prepared it long ago! However, there is no need to add it when I add makeup. After all, there are fathers and empresses on top, so I have to weigh it. So, why don't we send it to Yiyun Pavilion in private, and be my sister's private house at the bottom of the box, wouldn't it be better?"

When Tu Jingchen heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "It's better that you think carefully! Ornaments and jewelry are fine, these sisters are not lacking, and Zhuangzi's shop is not easy to give. How much money is left, I will pay a sum of money later, and send it to my sister to press the box!"

In fact, Tu Jingchen was not very short of money. Almost all the property left by the Yuan Dynasty was given to Tu Jingchen, and he had a good income every year. After all, Emperor Qianyuan took Tu Jingchen very seriously. When he was in charge, he didn't dare to do it casually. Later, when he was taken over by the people around Yuanhou, he naturally had to consider the little master Tu Jingchen.Moreover, as a prince, he also has a salary. According to the rules of the Daqi clan, the prince's salary is 1 taels, the county king's salary is 5000 taels, and the prince of the East Palace has a salary of 2 taels. In addition, the expenses of the East Palace are actually from internal affairs. The government left, and some even left on the behalf of Emperor Qianyuan.Therefore, most of the expenses of the Eastern Palace are rewards for the subordinates, and there are also gifts that need to be prepared during the three festivals and two birthdays. Therefore, there is actually a lot of surplus every year.

The concubine is not a stingy person, and the Zhang family is also everyone. To put it bluntly, the so-called farming and studying families are all big landlords in the locality, and they will also mix in some commercial affairs, so it doesn't look like a mountain. In fact, the economic situation is generally not bad.The princess also understands that Donggong and Fengyu are like grasshoppers on the same rope, if they are reluctant to part with their own sister, then those who follow the prince will think that the prince is mean and ungrateful, and it is inevitable that they will be divorced.What's more, if the crown prince succeeds in ascending the throne, that little money is nothing!

The East Palace sent a box of things in private, the palace soon found out, it was nothing more than guessing how much was given.Many concubines feel a little jealous in their hearts. After all, they are not being married by a bright matchmaker. Although the family will give a lot of money as a private house when they enter the palace, the role of concubines is not high. If they are favored, they will be subsidized by the emperor. With the filial piety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is nothing to say, but you can't be favored, even if you are the lord of the first palace, you can only live by the rules, and you can only live on your laurels!Those whose natal families are willing to continue to subsidize, their life is still relatively easy, and those whose natal families are unwilling to continue to subsidize, life in the palace will be difficult.

When the first princess in the palace gets married, those low-ranking concubines don't need to do anything, especially Fengyu, a first-line princess who was born after the Yuan Dynasty, probably only has a few concubines to serve as a concubine for her, and forget it for the next ones. Bar!Therefore, for things like adding makeup to Fengyu, only a few protagonists are eligible for this.However, Emperor Qianyuan's harem is still relatively large. Naturally, there are also a lot of seats. The one who is now favored here is Concubine Zhen who was promoted to concubine because of her pregnancy a while ago. The others have long since lost their status. Beloved, like Concubine Chen, after her daughter got married, she was still obsessed with subsidizing her mother's family. What good things did she have in her hands? What she keeps now are some jewelry ornaments with obvious built-in marks. Fortunately, these princesses can also use them. Therefore, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and marry a set of built-in hairstyles, and used them to add makeup to Fengyu. I regretted all kinds of things in my heart. If I knew this, I might as well leave it to my daughter!

In short, adding up the dowries given by the lords of the palaces, a few dowries were collected at once, and Emperor Qianyuan added two extra dowries, plus a Huangzhuang, which only made the eldest princess and the second princess sour. After all, when they got married, although the palaces also had makeup and Emperor Qianyuan also rewarded them, it was just an extra reward. As for the Huangzhuang and the like, there was no such thing.But when it comes to Feng Yu, is the gap so obvious?

If this is the case, the face of the eldest princess and the second princess can't show it, even as a married sister, she has to add makeup, but for those younger princesses, they only need to give some needlework.

The grand occasion of adding makeup naturally spread to Duke Li's mansion. Although no one in their family was a concubine in the palace, there were some relatives who gave birth to concubines. Apart from Mrs. Hou's sincere joy for Liu Fu, other people's hearts It's all a bit unpleasant.The more favored the princess Fengyu was, the more blind they were before. Fengyu's criteria for choosing a son-in-law were passed on by someone.As a result, Liu Fu won the favor of the princess by relying on a face that combined the advantages of his parents and optimized it, which is simply unreasonable!

Although these days, Lord Liu Hou tried his best to make up for Liu Fei's estrangement from the Liguo Mansion, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, even if the prince needs the support of the Liguo Mansion, but compared to the distance Liu Fang and Liu Ying on the first floor, isn't Liu Fu closer?Moreover, it was only said that concubines cannot participate in politics, but that does not mean that the children of concubines cannot. In the future, will the resources of the government of Liguo be taken up by the children of Liu Fu and the princess?

In short, the brothers of the Liu family, all of them seem friendly now, but in fact they each have their own plans in their hearts. Master Liu knows this well, but he can only do his best to make things up, and there is no other way.However, their father and son didn't know that Feng Yu had already discussed with Tu Jingchen that there was no need to get too close to the Duke of Li's mansion. In the eyes of others, the Liu family still has considerable influence in the military, so it should However, for Tu Jingchen, he doesn't need such influence. After all, as a prince, the most taboo thing is to make the emperor feel threatened. On the contrary, he has to show weakness to a certain extent in order to let Emperor Qianyuan Don't worry, I prefer him more.When Liu Fu was chosen, the relationship between Liu Fu and the two elder brothers was not harmonious. Therefore, Liu Fang and the others' current overtures are just flirting with the blind, completely useless.

Not long after, the wedding date came. After complicated ceremonies, Feng Yu officially married Liu Fu and moved into the Princess Mansion.
