The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 157
Soon after the prince returned to Beijing, he became engaged.
According to the customs of this time, the prince is only engaged now, which is very late. Because the prince was unmarried, before going to sea, some ministers used this as a reason to persuade the emperor not to let the prince leave Beijing. But the emperor still let the prince go with him.
At the time of the engagement, the prince could not see the slightest joy, but looked a little wilting.
Back to the capital together, Su Yi, who had no plans to go out for the time being, wanted to laugh at the appearance of his younger brother Muai, who knew that the prince was not shy, but was not in a good mood, which made Su Yi a little worried.
The current princess is the queen in the future. Although Su Yi did not expect her brother and future sister-in-law to have more and more affection, just like her own father and mother, although there are many misunderstandings, they are getting along well at the moment, which is not bad. At least you can’t look at each other and get bored, right?
Could it be that the crown princess didn’t let the younger brother like it?
However, with the style of the emperor’s father and the queen’s wife, although the candidates have almost been determined, he should also let the prince brother see which one is more in line with his eyes. The Yu Dynasty is now firmly ruled, and there is no need to use the status of the princess to win over anything. The prince brother can completely choose a suitable person for himself.
In any case, it should not be depressed.
Su Yi is in trouble, of course he is looking for Mu Yan Xiaoding. Although Mu Yan wasn’t interested in the prince’s feelings at all, it seemed that he shouldn’t interfere with this as a courtier, but now he is actually a royal middleman. Since Su Yi was worried, he went to ask.
Mu Yan was also direct. He directly approached the prince and asked him why he was depressed, saying that Su Yi was worried about him.
The corner of the prince’s mouth twitched: “Is the elder brother really worried? Isn’t you troubled?”
Mu Yan sneered: “What do I care about your marriage? In addition to recreation, who else will worry about you so much?”
The prince calmed down and said, “Yes, only the eldest brother will notice this.”
The prince thought for a while, and said: “It’s actually nothing, but it’s a bit depressed when I think of living with multiple people I don’t know in the future.”
Mu Yan helpless: “That was your choice.”
The prince said: “I did choose the one who saw the most pleasing to the eye, but it was also a stranger.”
Although Mu Yan is in free love, most people in this world want to get acquainted with them after getting married. The feeling of the prince is really hard for others to understand. After all, everyone does this.
“I will always be familiar with it in the future.” Mu Yan could only comfort him, “Since you are already engaged, you can write to each other. There is still more than half a year of marriage, so you should be familiar with it.”
The prince frowned and said, “What did I tell her? I don’t know what women like to talk about.”
“What you like to talk about is to be multiple friends, regardless of her gender.” Mu Yan said, “The prince and concubine chosen for you by your majesty and the empress must be an erudite person who can talk to you.”
The prince thought so too. To become the mother of a country, you must have two brushes, right? So he decided to write to the future princess, to get familiar with it in private.
Nowadays, the precautions for men and women are not serious. For men and women who are engaged, let alone correspondence, if they are under the leadership of the parents of the two parties, secret gatherings are also possible. It’s just that the status of the prince princess is somewhat different, which makes people a little scrupulous.
But if the prince is willing to write to the prince, the prince’s family is too happy. The prince is willing to exchange feelings with their daughter, and if the two have a bit of true affection after marriage, their daughter will suffer less.
Marrying someone else, the family can still help one or two, become a princess, so she has to work **** her own.
After Su Yi heard from Mu Yan, he understood his brother very well: “Juan Le has been lonely since he was a child, and he is much better now, but suddenly he is asked to accept a stranger to get along with him day and night, and he must feel uncomfortable. Just get familiar with it. Anyway, he chose it himself, so he still likes it a little bit.”
Even if you just like the other person’s face and have a certain affection, the affection can be expanded. I just hope that the princess’s conversation is also the type he likes.
Su Yi didn’t know that the prince had concealed it from him.
It is one thing to feel that the prince is a stranger, and it is difficult to accept it. More importantly, the prince is a bit displeased with the prince’s family.
As the prince, he should have been engaged long ago. It’s just that he was “confused” for five years, which made the family reluctant to let his daughter marry a “fool”.
But that was because the prince was not too old, and the emperor was not in a hurry to show him the prince. At that time, the emperor was hesitating whether to abolish the prince. If the prince is abolished, naturally there is no need to rush to take the concubine from the prince, so as to avoid marriage and revenge. The Yu dynasty has just been established and cannot offend these aristocratic families.
Later, when Su Yi arrived in the capital, the prince “was awake”, and the queen began to pay attention to the prince’s candidates.
The queen was unwilling to choose a woman with too much power in her family for the prince. Although the queen did not come from a family, she was also a scholarly family. There were many celebrities in the family, and many of her handkerchiefs were women of the family. The queen knew that the women of the aristocratic family were affected by the family, and everything was first in the family. Most of the time, the husband’s family was just a means to help the natal family.
If the queen has a daughter to marry, she may think there is nothing wrong with it. But if she changed to marry a wife, she would naturally not be happy.
At that time, the queen chose this daughter, but not this one, but the eldest daughter. Now the prince is five years younger than the prince, and the woman in the queen’s picture is already married.
The queen just wanted to see, the emperor needed to decide when the prince would get married.
At that time, the emperor was still thinking about how to abduct his eldest son back to inherit the throne. Although this woman is also a daughter of a family, her family is not a big family, but a scholarly family like the queen. Because the officials ruled the darkness in the late Han Dynasty, she kept studying behind closed doors and did not go to officialdom.
After the establishment of the Hou Yu Dynasty, the emperor issued an order for talents, and this family entered the Dynasty as an official. Therefore, his pure name is sufficient, and his daughter’s education in the family should be good, and the influence of the DPRK is still not obvious. If the prince does not need the help of his wife’s clan, the identity of the daughter is indeed suitable.
Excluding Su Yi, the emperor is the only son, the prince does not need the help of his wife, and the queen is also suitable.
And if the emperor wants to change Suyi to become the prince, that woman becomes the prince and concubine, it is not a shame.
So the emperor acquiesced and let the queen speak first.
The queen wouldn’t say that she was going to choose a concubine for her son, but when she asked the family to have a drink, she jokingly mentioned that the son was not only drinking too much, or the family in Beijing did not show much respect for the royal family at the time. , He laughed wildly at the foolish prince, who would marry the prince, it would be too miserable. The man also mentioned some women’s names. Those women were women from a family of families, some of them were from a family of great families, but they were either ugly or poor moral character.
The man smiled and said, “Anyway, I just want to marry the prince. Isn’t this just right?”
If you look at it from others, that person is actually quite right. If the prince is really stupid, it doesn’t make much sense to marry a good one. Just choose a big family, tie that family firmly on the prince ship, and support the prince ascending the throne.
The queen was a little annoyed in her heart, but she was helpless. Who keeps his son stupid? Although he is sober now, not many people know that it is normal for others to be unwilling to marry their daughter to a stupid person.
The queen even admired this person a little bit. Although she was not able to stop her, even if her son was stupid, he was also a prince, and his family was not a prominent family. As long as there was a prince, the influence of the family would be greatly improved. The little family won’t be moved by it.
Of course, even though she could accept it intellectually, the biggest emotion in the Queen’s heart was still irritation. She knows that this matter is not anxious, anyway, her son is already sober, so let’s take her time. This matter was stranded.
However, the queen still used the matter to complain to the prince, saying that the prince had been pretending to be stupid, and now he was looked down upon.
The prince didn’t care much about this in his mind. His heart fell on Su Yi.
Later, the prince’s name and benevolence became bigger and bigger, and the emperor was not in a hurry. Then there were frequent events in North Korea, the family changed very quickly, and the emperor was not in a hurry. If you choose one today, and tomorrow you will find out what’s wrong with that family, and the whole family will be upset, wouldn’t it be a joke?
After that, the queen carefully selected more than a dozen young women. She didn’t give the prince the identity of the family, and only let the prince choose one she likes based on her appearance and demeanor. Who knows that the prince chose exactly that woman.
After so many years, since the queen has included this family as a reserve candidate for the crown prince, it is natural that the incident did not leave her with a grudge. But although the prince did not appear on his face, his memory was actually very good. The prince was not as gentle as the outsiders seemed, and his eyes were not big, so this was not blocked.
But he dared not tell Su Yi about this. He understands Su Yi. After Su Yi hears it, he will definitely feel that he is careful and that the family has done nothing wrong back then.
The family didn’t say it publicly, but made a joke while drinking with a friend in private. Who knew that friend was the queen’s “spies”?
The prince was “silly” back then, and many people watched his jokes secretly. In other words, among the family officials, there is no mention of his foolishness as a chattering after dinner.
If he wants to pass one by one, he will have to remember all the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty.
What’s more, the family’s morals are indeed good. If he still sends his daughter up happily on the premise that he knows that the prince is stupid, this character should make people think twice.
Writers in the world always like to write about women’s families who are too poor and love the rich, what once you looked down upon me, but now I let you not be able to climb high. But these are sour words and nonsense. Who does marry a daughter who doesn’t like her daughter to marry a better home? Back then, you were poor and you stupid, of course he can’t afford to look down on you. Now you are willing, but you have met the requirements of the original election of your son-in-law. In fact, there is no difference in essence.
If someone marries a daughter, what kind of crooked melons only asks for marriage and they just close their eyes and marry over, then that’s the problem, right?
Regardless of whether you are a prince or not, the family just doesn’t want to let your daughter marry a fool, and don’t want to use your daughter’s life to change the wealth of your family.
Now even if your prince does not have the position of prince, he is still a good son who is praised by others. Of course, the family sent his daughter happily.
To put it bluntly, I’m still fighting for myself.
The prince was discouraged by the training.
Well, although he didn’t tell Su Yi about it, Su Yi didn’t know where he knew it, or where he guessed it, so he gave him a special training for it.
Mu Yan and the queen smiled silently, hiding their merits and fame deeply.
“I know, I’m stingy about this.” The prince frustrated. “Compare my heart to my heart. If I have a daughter, I don’t want to marry a fool, even if that person’s status is more important to me.”
Su Yi stretched out his hand and rubbed the prince’s face and said, “Isn’t this it?”
The prince is now a tough boy, but he is still rubbing his face like a dough by his elder brother, and he doesn’t mean to resist at all.
“If you think that person is not suitable for you, I will not persuade you to have more affection with that person. After all, feelings are your own business, but because of this kind of thing, be careful that I look down on you.” Su Yi was half-joking Threatened.
The prince shook his head quickly: “No, no, absolutely not, I already knew it was wrong.”
Su Yi laughed: “Okay. Have you written to that girl? How do you feel?”
The prince said: “I really have some questions.”
The prince took out a letter, and the content in the letter was quite satisfactory, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, there is a chess game attached to the letter, and the person in the letter seems to be discussing the game with the prince.
The prince played chess better than Su Yi’s, but the two brothers, no, Yi Ran should be added. The three brothers are all stinky chess players. The prince is really powerless to discuss the matter of ancient chess scores. But if he says no, the prince feels a bit shameful. He regrets it now, why should he let the other party mention something he likes first?
Su Yi smiled and said: “It’s not easy, just reply directly, saying that you are not good at this, change another, and you will definitely be good at the next one.”
The prince was a little embarrassed: “Is this all right?”
Isn’t it embarrassing?
Su Yi said: “This is not to ask you to marry a talented person, but to marry a wife who will accompany you. As your wife, she will know what kind of person you are. Sooner or later, you write to her in advance. Become early? So in your letter, you are shown as you are. She likes or likes, and she doesn’t like it. Anyway, you can’t change, right? Can you play chess because of this letter? Have you been trained? So many masters in the East Palace haven’t taught you.”
The prince smiled and said, “Yes. No matter how much I have a headache, what I am not good at is not good at it.”
Su Yi nodded: “Spoof in the letter, beg for mercy, don’t be afraid of embarrassment. Tell you, chasing a wife, you have to be cheeky to chase you.”
Su Yi held his brother’s shoulders and said, “How do you see how I chased Heqing, the Gaoling flower?”
The prince had a strange expression: “You chased it?”
Su Yi put gold on his face: “Of course, I caught him at a glance, and then under my cheeky offensive, he was taken by me. Isn’t it very powerful?”
The prince said with a dry smile: “That’s really amazing.”
Su Yi patted the prince on the shoulder and said, “So you have to learn from me. Remember, you must not be thin.”
The prince chuckled, “Okay…I’m the eldest brother.”
Su Yi sent away the prince, and Mu Yan smiled behind him: “You chase me, why don’t I know?”
Su Yi was taken aback, and said out of anger: “You eavesdrop!”
Mu Yan said, “I just have good ears.”
Su Yi said angrily: “You eavesdropped!”
Mu Yan sighed, “Okay, I’m eavesdropping.”
Your voice is not lowered, I can hear it even standing outside the door.
Su Yi said: “Yes, yes, I chased you back then?”
Mu Yan smiled and shook his head and said, “How do I remember that I saw you first? You were not angry with me at first.”
Su Yi said: “That’s because you remembered it wrong. In fact, I fell in love with you at first sight.”
Su Yi smirked and raised Mu Yan’s chin with his fingers: “You look like you, I love it when I look at it.”
Mu Yan’s temperament changed, her eyes were silky, and she acted shyly: “The slave family begged Lang Jun to pity him.”
Su Yi laughed: “Okay, okay, I must pity you.”
Then Su Yi was caught by Mu Yan’s big hand, and resisted onto the couch, not knowing who pityed whom in the end.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
After the prince returned to the palace, he wrote a letter in accordance with Su Yi’s “cheeky” strategy, indicating that he was not good at chess, and said he wanted to change one. The Crown Prince believed that he felt embarrassed when he saw it, so naturally he was ashamed to show it to Su Yi, and he pulled his stupid brother.
Yi Ran looked at the prince’s letter and couldn’t help but shudder: “Who taught you?”
The prince said: “Brother, he said that he chased Mu Yan like this back then.”
The corners of Yi Ran’s mouth twitched, “You know it’s the eldest brother He Qing is after.”
The prince said: “Big Brother said so, right over there.”
Yi Ran was speechless. So what the eldest brother said is right? Then you can post the letter.
So the prince sent the letter out excitedly. In response, he poured a large scoop of cold water on him.
The reply was not as he imagined, that children exchange feelings, but a piece of “exhortation”, saying that the prince is not good at this, playing chess is one of the six arts of gentlemen, and even this is good at how to be the king of a country. The letter said in a long form how important it is to play chess. Playing chess can develop your intelligence, you can communicate feelings when playing chess, and you can communicate with your courtiers. And you don’t want to do it if you’re not good at it, it’s Barabara.
The prince silently crushed the letter into a ball, threw it away, and felt cool in his heart.
When the prospective princess replied, she was curiously asked by her elder brother. When she returned, his family was all depressed.
“You knew that the prince was not good at chess, why did you deliberately do this?” her father said depressed.
The prospective princess solemnly said: “It is precisely because you are not good at it that you need to persuade the prince. As the princess, the mother of a country in the future, the daughter should persuade the prince to go on the right path when the time is right.”
Her father said silently: “It’s just playing chess. The prince is kind and well-known, and playing chess can’t be a sidekick. Why are you doing this?”
The quasi-prince said: “The prince should be the first to be a man. If he is not the first to be a man, how can he talk about governing the country.”
Her father was even more speechless. As long as the emperor knows how to choose and employ people, it is necessary to be able to do everything, so what do the courtiers do?
After her father persuaded for a long time, the prospective princess felt that she was right. Her father wanted to cry without tears. I used to think that my daughter was good in everything, very knowledgeable, well-versed, and completely different from those women in the family. Now it seems that maybe the teaching is too hard-hearted?
I hope the prince will not be angry.
After Su Yi learned of this, he couldn’t help sighing.
This is the disadvantage of ancient blind marriages and dumb marriages. Now they are all engaged, and it is too late to say these. Can’t you say that because of disagreement, pick another one? I only hope that the prince’s concubine’s family can change the prince’s thoughts after discovering the problem. The position of the prince concubine is not just a position, but also the prince’s wife. Before she put her identity as the mother of a country, she must first remember that she and the prince are husband and wife.
Su Yi hoped that the prince’s wife would not act like his father and mother. Although he was the queen of Ming Junxian in front of outsiders, he could see that the two lives were very estranged, and there was no warmth at all. With his efforts over the years, he gradually felt like a loved one.
The prince had suffered a lot since he was a child, and he was harder to accept others than others in his heart. If the prince does not place herself in the position of the prince’s relatives, but only treats the prince as a boss, or even as a student, then the prince feels that it is impossible to identify with the prince.
After learning of this, the queen also had a headache. Although she has no love with the emperor, she hopes that the prince will have someone who knows the cold and warmth, rather than a “good wife” who goes online on minor issues.
The real good wife does not do this. Even if she has no warmth towards the emperor, she knows what she should and should not do, and will take a good attitude when admonishing her, so as not to bore the emperor and embarrass her.
She is an old and declining queen who has no family support. She can stand in the harem. Even when the prince was still “silly”, the emperor respected her. The family background in the palace is better than her, and the color is better than her. Pretty concubine, every one can shake her status, how can she do without any means?
The queen had to call the princess and the princess’s mother into the palace together and beat them.
The princess was very unconvinced in her heart. The queen spoiled the prince and refused to let her persuade the prince. If everything follows the prince, and the future emperor, wouldn’t it be a lie for a tiger, along with the traitorous concubines in the history books?
The prince’s mother was so angry that she was holding her chest, and the prince was quite a gentleman, so how could she be a tiger? Have you read all your books in the belly of the dog? Who said that to be a queen you have to fight against the emperor?
The prince said, loyalty is against ears and conducive to deeds.
After the queen heard about it, she kept sighing.
But the marriage has been decided, what can she do? Do you want to marry in first, and then marry someone who knows the cold and warmth of your son? But the empress is not in harmony, and the harem may be unstable in the future. Can’t let his son worry about the previous affairs in front of the emperor, and be bothered by the harem?
When the queen had a headache, the prospective princess and her family handed over the steps first. The prospective princess is seriously ill and fears becoming a princess. Their family is ashamed of the emperor’s family.
Well, the ladder is handed over, and the marriage is over. The queen was very moved and gave the family many rewards as comfort.
The family can’t do anything about it. Before their daughter gets married, they offend the prince and queen. How can this marriage be made? Although they don’t plan to let their daughters do good for the family, they don’t want their daughters to make trouble for the family.
So the prince took on the reputation of his wife again, which made the prince difficult to find.
As a prince of a country, it is not easy to take a concubine, which is a spectacle.
