Many Relatives
Wang Zhi's father, Wang Jing, had several concubines, so he also had children from concubines.
Now there are exactly three sons and three daughters. The eldest son, eldest daughter, and three daughters are all born to his legitimate wife.
It's not that Wang Zhi doesn't talk to his concubine sister, it's just that when she comes home, his concubine sister always comes to see her later.
However, compared to Wang Yang, the other sister who was born as a concubine had no chance to enter the palace.
The two sisters talked together and left something for the other sister. Wang Zhi would not fail to do anything for the sake of face.
The population of the Wang family is not too complicated. Although the three children of the Wei family are not harmonious, the old lady feels sorry for their parents and takes good care of them.
Wang Jing and Li are also good at doing things, so naturally they won't embarrass them.
As for Wang Zhi's father's house, Li's methods are not low, and there is an eldest son and an eldest daughter, so the concubines do not dare to cause trouble.
Anyway, based on his experience in fifteen years of life, Wang Zhi himself is considered a group favorite. Although his father and grandfather are not biological father and son, they are not far apart, they are nephews.
Except for a few Wei brothers and sisters who are a bit yin and yang, other relatives treat me well.
Compared to her younger sister, she received a lot more care.
Even the ladies in the palace, although there was a lot of undercurrents every day, still liked her as the queen's niece.
Maybe there are other considerations behind this preference, but Wang Zhi doesn't think it matters anyway.
The biggest worry nowadays is marriage. Wang Zhi usually doesn't think about it because it gets annoying when he thinks about it.
In this annoying ancient world, can't we just call her thirty years old?
well……
"It's my grandma's seventieth birthday in one month. Sister, what have you prepared as a gift? I told my mother to make a pair of shoes, but she said she was too petty. But I'm not good at embroidery, so I can't make large items.
." Wang Yang was very worried.
"Didn't you ask your second sister?" Wang Zhi said.
"I asked, and she was worried. Her embroidery skills are not as good as mine." Wang Yang sighed.
Wang Zhi burst out laughing and asked someone to invite Wang Jin.
Wang Jin is the second in line, and is called Er Niang in his family. He came over to pay his respects to Mrs. Li first, and then entered Wang Zhi's house.
"Eldest sister, third sister, I'm here." She is thirteen this year, and she is very beautiful. She smiles when everyone meets her, and even though she is not born to a mother, it makes people look at her without annoying her.
"I'm talking about the gift for my grandmother, second sister, what have you prepared?"
"Oh, I was about to say that it is my grandmother's seventieth birthday after all. How can I ignore it? I was thinking about making a quilt with my third sister. We are not good at embroidery, but we can choose bigger flowers.
Too much."
"Hey? That's good. It's easier to choose a big painting. It's okay if it's not very good. Grandma won't mind it. We are really filial." Wang Yang clapped his hands.
"Where are you, eldest sister? What are you giving me?"
"I plan to paint a good picture. Although I have painted before, I was not that good. This time I plan to paint a full-length portrait for my grandmother." Wang Zhi said.
"That's definitely possible. My eldest sister's painting skills are praised by the adults in the palace. She can definitely paint well." Wang Yang said.
Wang Zhi smiled and said to himself that I had been painting for decades in my previous life. Now that I am here, I just need to learn some lines again, so naturally my painting will not be too bad.
The three sisters discussed what to give, and then they talked about Wang Zhi's hairpin gift.
"In June, it's big sister and hairpin ceremony. It's a big event. We also have to give you something. I just won't tell you what it is now."
"Okay, anything is fine, I value everything." Wang Zhi looked at them.
"My eldest sister is about to get her haircut. Is it time to discuss getting married? She doesn't go home very often. If she gets engaged, it will be even more rare to see her in the future." Wang Yang sighed.
"It's early, I'm worried." Wang Zhi patted her head: "It's almost noon. Let's go to the main courtyard to have dinner with grandma later. I want to eat bad fish."
"There must be. Grandma will be the happiest when eldest sister comes back. You will be happy if you like her." Wang Yang was confident.
It's true that my family always cares about me so much.
While Wang Zhi was enjoying life at home, the emperor pointed out several beauties to the second prince.
These women have low status, so naturally they cannot be concubines, but can only be concubines. The second prince has not yet been crowned king, but he is expected to be soon. At most, these women can only be concubines, and they may become children if they give birth in the future.
The second prince's palace has been built a long time ago. The emperor was reluctant to let him leave the palace, so he said that he would not leave the palace until he was married and crowned king. Now it is estimated that it is the time.
The emperor himself also kept a few beauties, but as he was getting old, he couldn't keep too many to avoid making his ministers look bad.
In the courtyard of Yaoguang Palace, the imperial concubine put away her silver spear and stood there panting slightly.
On the contrary, she is wearing the clothes of a Central Plains woman. She is about to turn fifty now, but she has practiced martial arts all year round and does not look old.
"I guess your marriage is about to be decided, but your father didn't tell me who it is. No matter who it is, it must be a woman from Da'an." The imperial concubine took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped her face: "You have something you like.
A woman?"
The second prince shook his head.
"Meng Hulu, when I was your age, the first man I ever had had my leg broken."
The eldest princess smiled and asked: "How many others do you have before you join your father?"
Dai Zhan did not answer how many there were, but just said: "The old king of Xiliang has no children. I am the only daughter. Isn't it okay to have any number of them?"
When the words came to this, the eldest princess became a little silent.
Yes, my mother is the Princess of Xiliang, but now...
"Stop acting like that, I don't have anything wrong with you now. It's just the marriage between you two." She sighed: "It doesn't matter if he is Menghulu, but what about your marriage? According to your father's wishes, he wants to set a marriage for you.
A descendant of an aristocratic family, what about yourself? Do you have anyone you like?"
"...No." The eldest princess has always been less confident in front of her mother.
"You don't want to marry Zalusario! The queen praised him a few days ago. If you don't like it, if you don't keep it, it will go to that girl."
"Wang Zhi doesn't like it either." The second prince said again.
Dai Zhan glared at him: "You know again?"
"Mother, we should wait for the imperial decree from our father. I really don't like anyone. Otherwise, I can marry back to Xiliang." The eldest princess said carelessly.
These words made Dai Zhan feel a little moved in his heart.
As for his son, his wife cannot be a Xiliang woman.
Thinking about his eldest son who was now bad at what he did, some anger flashed through Dai Zhan's heart. Nothing could ever happen to this son again.
"Two idiots." Dai Zhan waved his hand: "Gungun, don't be an eyesore here."
The eldest princess hurriedly stood up and pulled the second prince up: "Okay, let's go out of the palace and see eldest brother."
The brother and sister hurriedly left the palace and went to Prince Qing's Mansion.
Dai Zhan picked up the silver gun she had stuck on the ground and started dancing again. Now she couldn't go to the battlefield, but she still liked to dance with the sword and the gun.
When the second prince and the eldest princess were leaving the palace, they met the second princess again. She also made noises about going, so they simply left the palace together.
