According to the Ming Dynasty's palace system, young princesses generally lived with their biological mothers, living in the west hall of the biological mother's palace. In order to avoid taboos, they would move to other palaces. This depends on the degree of favor. Needless to say, they would live with their husbands, but they usually live in the main hall and the main room.

There is a garden behind the west hall. The garden is divided into four courtyards from north to south. The layout of each courtyard is unique and very appropriate. The mountains, stones, trees, pavilions and towers are operated in a smooth manner. The roof types strive to change, with rich colors, including yellow, green, blue, purple, emerald blue, etc. The beams and beams are painted with a large number of gold-line and Su style paintings. The layout of the central axis changes, and the axis in the rear half slightly moves eastward. The entire garden has both the exquisite and exquisite style of the private garden and the luxurious and magnificent atmosphere of the palace.

At this time, two women were constantly walking around a pool. A maid behind her stared at the two women. From time to time, someone boldly helped count.

"one two three……?"

These two women are no one else, but Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, the second daughter, Princess Lin'an and Princess Ningguo. Princess Lin'an was born to Concubine Chengmu. Although Concubine Chengmu is not the queen, she is also the adopted daughter of Marshal Ma Shixiong. At the age of eighteen, she was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as a concubine. In the early years of Hongwu, she was crowned as a concubine and was above all the concubines.

Sun was smart, smart, dignified and beautiful, skilled in etiquette and law, and was well-behaved. Empress Ma once praised Zhu Yuanzhang for being a rare virtuous daughter. Sun Sasuke Empress Ma managed the six palaces, Empress Ma was kind and Sun was governed by law. She was deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang. Among the four daughters she gave birth to, Princess Lin'an was the eldest daughter, and she was smart, lively and cute. She was named Princess Lin'an before she got married.

Although the princesses in the Ming Dynasty had a noble status, they were not comparable to those of the prince. For example, if the princes had their feudal titles, they were all princes ("one-character king"), such as King Chu, King Fu, etc.; while the princes ("two-character king") who were one level lower than the prince were named Jiaoxian prefectures and counties, such as Princes and Princes of Jiaocheng, Princes and Princes of Taigu.

The princess needs to add the names of counties, such as Princess Huojia, Princess Lingqiu, etc., which seem to be of the same level as the prince. In the "History of Ming Dynasty", the special biography is listed, and the prince consort is attached to it. Although the princess has a formal name, it is not recorded in the biography. Most of them have no records of birth and death year, marriage age, etc., and the deeds are not recorded except for a few general descriptions.

The princess was not born with the title of princess. According to the system of the early Ming Dynasty, the princess was granted the title two days before marriage (it was not followed in the later period, such as the Princess Changping of Emperor Chongzhen, who had already had the title when he was engaged. Some people who died prematurely and did not marry also had the title of posthumous title). The princess book notes that [In ancient times, if a king in the world had a daughter, he would be granted the title. Your daughter has now grown up and has no title. He would be given the title of a certain county and be given the son of an official (a certain) and be given the title of a certain county. He was the son-in-law and the princess. After entering the family of an official, he would abide by the wife's morality to serve his aunt and uncle, and to clean up the door, and to help his parents with good fortune.] This reflects the necessity of women, even princesses in the society at that time, to obtain identity names through marriage with men (most princesses in the Qing Dynasty generally followed this example, and first asked to identify the princess rank, and then hold the enthronement ceremony after marriage.)

Further, the princess's title was obtained due to the imperial power, and also increased due to the imperial power. If the father ascended the throne from the prince, the daughter would be granted the princess from the princess. The father lost the emperor's name, and the daughter was demoted to the princess or had no name, such as Emperor Jianwen's sister and Emperor Jingtai's daughter. The emperor sister was promoted to the "elder princess", and the emperor's aunt promoted to the "elder princess". Their titles rose and fell in love with the changes in their relationship with those who held the imperial power throughout their lives. Unlike princesses in the Ming Dynasty, after the death of the princess in the Ming Dynasty, the dowry property, including the golden seal and gold book of the Tianzhuang Mansion, etc., must be paid back to the palace (after the princess of the Qing Dynasty died, the movable property was taken back to the royal family, and the real estate was left to the equip to maintain his and his family's livelihood.)

Lin'an was awarded the title before he got married. First, he was the eldest daughter, and second, Zhu Yuanzhang also favored his mother. The woman who played Cuju with her was the future (not yet enthroned) Princess of Ningguo. Both of them were dressed in casual clothes, Lin'an white trousers, white shirts, and a pair of boots embroidered with tiger heads.

Princess Ningguo was wearing a yellow shirt, both with long trousers, with wide trousers covering her ankles, and a pair of students with tiger heads embroidered with a white belt around her waist, which tied their bodies to a concave and convex.

Both of them have picturesque eyebrows and beautiful eyes. Lin'an is tall and looks a little more beautiful than Ningguo. Ningguo has a small body and looks cute. They are both slender waists and buttocks, graceful and graceful. They are each afraid of beauty and cannot distinguish them.

But Lin'anxu was two years old and now he was fifteen years old. His daughter's family had developed early. The soft breasts wrapped in clothes had already begun to form. Under the constraints of the belt, her hips were plump and her legs were slender. She was younger than the younger ones. She looked a little more feminine than Ningguo, which looked a little better.

The two of them bowed their heads and kicked a yellow Cuju next to the pool. Cuju had already emerged during the Warring States Period, but it was because of Liu Bang's daughter. According to the "Miscellaneous Notes of Xijing", after Liu Bang became emperor, he took his father Liu Taigong to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an City for retirement. He had a luxurious meal and clothing, and watched kabuki music all day long. But he was not satisfied and was depressed all day long. It turned out that Liu Taigong lived in the lower level of the city since he was a child, approaching ordinary people, slaughtering dogs and oxen, and his entertainment activities after work were inseparable from cockfighting and Cuju. So Liu Bang issued an imperial edict, which built a new city a hundred miles east of Chang'an City, imitating the scale of Fengyi in Pei County, and moved all the residents of Fengyi to the new city. Liu Taigong and

Liu Wen also moved there. He began to "fight cocks and make a joy for Cuju", and then he was satisfied. At this point, Cuju became popular with China. After being promoted through the Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, he went to the hospital station to ascend the throne. He heard that Zhang Shicheng's younger brother Zhang Shixin, "every time he went out, he would take Chupu (a kind of gambling tool) and Cuju, and hold women to have a banquet." It can be seen that playing football was connected with lust. Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he issued an imperial edict, strictly prohibiting soldiers from playing football. Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict could only prohibit soldiers from playing football, but it was not completely prohibited. Many people in the palace played Cuju all day long. Lin'an and Ningguo were lively and active in nature and loved Cuju very much, so they practiced in the palace for a long time. Over time, the technique of Cuju was quite superb.

The two are both extroverted and smart and lively women. In addition, they are not very interested in poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Until they started playing Cuju, they organized some small competitions in the air, so that the palace maids would also participate. They were very happy when they had fun, and this also eliminated the loneliness in the palace.
