"Once she is allowed to step into the eldest princess's mansion, it is really not necessarily the eldest princess who has the final say about what will happen in the future." Yun Zishu said calmly, "You have to know that there are endless ways for wives and concubines to fight for favor.
Sometimes it’s true that a concubine may not be as scheming as she is.”
"Then what should I do?" Princess Wuyang looked disgusted, "That Xi Dan really opened my eyes."
Yun Zishu shook her head: "Only your eldest brother and Xi Yun are in charge of this matter. They can solve it themselves, and no one else can interfere."
Princess Wuyang was silent for a moment, then raised her lips and smiled: "Don't talk about them anymore. I'm so annoyed. Let's talk about something happy."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "What happened recently that made you happy?"
"There are a lot of things to be happy about. In addition to the emperor's enthronement and the crown prince's promotion to the queen, there is another relatively happy thing, which is that Situ Wan has been living in dire straits recently." Wuyang
The princess said, her tone obviously a little more excited, "I heard that she was punished by the old lady of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion so that she lost all her temper. She had to get up before dawn every day and kneel outside the Cixin Hall.
Copy the scriptures, "Nv's Rules", "Nv's Commandments", and the House Rules of the Marquis. If you copy well, you can get up and take a rest before noon and go back to have lunch. If you don't copy well, you won't even have lunch.
, she kept kneeling and copying, and there was a nanny beside her who was responsible for reminding her of her kneeling posture, copying posture and handwriting. Within three sentences, the ruler hit her body... Tsk, tsk, tsk, saying that she would be worse off than dead is a bit harsh.
It’s no exaggeration.”
Yun Zishu listened quietly, with no fluctuations in her expression. Situ Wan's current situation was entirely her own fault and she had no one to blame.
And she knew in her heart that Situ Wan's life would only be more difficult in the future, because Sicang had ascended the throne, Yun Zishu had become the queen, and could still attend the court, and Zhongyi Hou could still be regarded as an honorable family.
He was on duty in front of the emperor and had a keen sense of what was going on in the palace.
The Queen's presence in court means that she has great power, and the Situ family will never have any room for improvement in this life. Marquis Zhongyi originally had no good impression of Situ Wan, his superior wife, and he was already violent, so how could he be kind to her in the future?
Situ Wan?
"Situ Wan was actually harmed by the Queen Mother." Huangfu Chuchu sighed, "Although the Situ family relies on nepotism and is not confident enough to compare with other big families, Situ Wan is a serious lady no matter what.
, If the Queen Mother hadn't instilled some ideas into her that she shouldn't have and gave her unrealistic promises, Situ Wan wouldn't be in this situation now."
Princess Wuyang nodded: "That's true."
It can only be said that these are her fate, and the decline of the Situ family is also fate.
When a person's wealth is too great and does not match his ability, some unexpected consequences will inevitably occur.
"Won't the Queen live in the palace from now on?" Princess Wuyang wondered, "Hasn't the Emperor already ascended the throne? It would be inconvenient to go to the Prince's Mansion every day when going to court."
"Let's wait until after the enthronement ceremony." Yun Zishu said in a lazy tone, "Living in the palace is also deserted. Apart from government affairs, there is nothing else to do every day. It is inconvenient to leave the palace."
"If the Queen is bored, you can often invite me and Wuyang to the palace to enjoy the flowers. Anyway, we are bored at home." Huangfu Chuchu said, and couldn't help pouting, "That's the bad thing about my daughter's family. You can't wander around casually.
If you don't stay home all day, you will be criticized by others, unlike those men who can go wherever they want and no one dares to criticize. It's really unfair."
Yun Zishu laughed: "It's indeed unfair, but we can't change this unfairness."
The idea that men are superior to women has been a deep-rooted thought for thousands of years. As a woman, she is destined to be inferior to others from birth. Even if she comes from a powerful family, most of the time she is a tool for family marriage.
There are very few lucky ones like Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang, but even the lucky ones who are favored by their parents are not as good as men who can do whatever they want most of the time, not to mention those who have no choice but to pin their fate on their family and husband.
The woman on the body?
The three of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they sat in Qifeng Palace and chatted all afternoon. In the evening, the medical girl came in to take a pulse, and Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang got up to leave.
Before leaving, Princess Wuyang suddenly remembered something: "I heard that the prince of Mobei was coming, and he also brought the little princess of Mobei with him, saying that he wanted to dedicate the princess to the emperor. The princess can sing and dance well, and is very beautiful.
Still sweet.”
"A good at singing and dancing, and sweet-looking?" Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows, "Who did you hear that?"
Princess Wuyang replied: "Mobei is a small country with a weak national power, but everyone is good at singing and dancing, but their women are not delicate. I heard that many people like to gallop on the prairie since childhood. The reason why they were annexed by Dongyou back then
, the biggest reason is that their grasslands are suitable for raising war horses, and what Dongyou wants is the endless grassland in Mobei. There are few people in Mobei, and the combat effectiveness of the army is not high, so it has inevitably become a vassal state of Dongyou."
Yun Zishu said nothing.
For Dongyou, war is essentially plunder, but for weak countries, war means that the people are destitute.
In a world where the weak eat the strong, small countries can survive safely because of God's blessing.
"If that princess is really sweet, maybe we can give her a good marriage." Yun Zishu smiled faintly, "As for the emperor's harem, she shouldn't even think about it."
Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang smiled upon hearing this and then left.
In the evening, Sicang returned to Qifeng Palace and happened to mention this matter to Yun Zishu: "Prince Mobei is already on the way, and he has brought a younger sister with him this time."
Yun Zishu hummed: "I heard you mention this prince and princess before."
"I did mention it." Sicang sat down to eat with her, "I received news two months ago that Prince Mobei sent someone to deliver a document."
Yun Zishu spoke calmly: "Princess Mobei is beautiful in person, singing, and dancing?"
Si Cang was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his eyes: "Why is Shu'er's tone so sour and jealous?"
"no."
Si Cang pursed his lips and smiled: "I think I'm jealous."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "It's your illusion."
"If Shu'er is jealous, just say so. I like to see you jealous." Sicang prepared food for her, "But whether Princess Mobei is beautiful or not has nothing to do with me."
Yun Zishu asked: "All the invitations prepared by the Ministry of Rites were sent out today?"
"Dayong and Yan Kingdom have already arranged for people to send invitations." Sicang raised his lips slightly, "Shu'er might as well guess which prince your father will send here this time?"
Dongyou invited the king. The emperor would not come in person, but he would at least send a prince. Otherwise, it would seem to be contempt for Dongyou. I am afraid Dayong would not dare to take this risk.
Although Emperor Zhaoming was probably already anxious about the fact that King Jing had not returned yet.
