Queen Su is slightly dissatisfied with Princess Huainan's response. Since the time of Emperor Taizong, Princess Jinyang has been one of the most favored princesses in the royal family. She is beautiful, intelligent, and kind. She is simply a model for princesses in the past. Today
When it comes to marriage, you actually didn't agree on the spot. Do you really think I can't hear the shirk in it?
It's just that she has a gentle personality, so her pretty face only darkened slightly and she didn't express her dissatisfaction verbally.
Princess Fangling's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "The Bohai Feng family is a high-ranking family and is respected by the world. You really have to think carefully about the marriage of your legitimate son. It must be from a famous family in the world with five surnames and seven sects. Otherwise, the families will not be equal and the households will be wrong.
It has some impact on reputation.”
The Shandong nobles boasted that they were the origins of China's Zhengshuo and Yanhuang. They looked down upon the world from a high place and paid most attention to having pure blood and being well-matched. As for the general public, the Shandong nobles did have a higher family status, and even the Li and Tang royal families were slightly inferior.
It is very possible that the Bohai Feng clan is unwilling to marry back a princess...
But even if this is indeed the intention, how can Princess Huainan dare to admit it?
Princess Huainan gritted her teeth and wished she could bite Princess Fangling to death. Not to mention that the Feng family was unwilling to Shang Princess. Even if they were willing, who knows whether the scandal between Princess Jinyang and Fang Jun is true or false?
After all, Jingzhao Weishi sent his "Qilin son" Wei Zhengju to serve as an official in Jiannan Road early, and even Chang'an did not dare to return. It was because Jingzhao Weishi had the intention to marry Princess Jinyang, and Wei Zhengju was even more so.
The deputy was determined to win the position, but he encountered Fang Jun's crazy suppression during the Guanlong Rebellion...
But he did not dare to say this, and was busy explaining to the queen and Princess Jinyang: "I am not trying to shirk it, but my family has been impeached by the imperial censor recently. If I rashly get married to the royal family, I will inevitably be regarded by the world as clinging to imperial power and flattering.
I'm afraid it will damage the reputation of the royal family and Jinyang."
Queen Su was noncommittal and smiled calmly: "In this case, we should be more cautious."
Only then did she remember the recent turmoil that the Feng family had been in. It was said that Feng Deyi publicly swore allegiance to Emperor Taizong, but secretly colluded with Prince Li Jiancheng. Even when Emperor Gaozu expressed his intention to depose Li Jiancheng and establish himself as King of Qin, Feng Deyi dissuaded him.
I don't know why this matter suddenly came out. A group of censors in the Yushitai were filled with indignation, shouting and killing, and wanted to deprive Feng Deyi of all his official titles, titles, and gifts, and hold him accountable for his crimes.
If this is really settled, what qualifications does the Feng family have to honor the princess?
He glanced sideways at Princess Fangling, blaming in his heart, why did he mention this...
Princess Fangling smiled, picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
It's not that she has any conspiracy or scheming, she just wants to cause trouble for Fang Jun. That guy repeatedly rejected her advances, causing her to lose face. Don't you like Jinyang? Then I have to mention it.
Jinyang’s marriage, let Jinyang get married as soon as possible...
…
After several princesses of Emperor Gaozu finished discussing the business and left, Queen Su took Princess Jinyang's hand and said earnestly: "You are not young now, not to mention that you still have filial piety, so you should take care of it as soon as possible."
Once the marriage has been decided, it will be done when the filial piety period is over. Otherwise, if it is delayed again and again, wouldn’t it be a good thing? The girl’s age passes very quickly in this age, and it will be great in the blink of an eye. If you are still 17 or 18 years old,
If you are not engaged, it will be troublesome."
During the Zhenguan period, Emperor Taizong issued an edict stipulating that the legal age for marriage was twenty for men and fifteen for women. In fact, for aristocratic families and dignitaries, this age was greatly advanced. After all, for the aristocratic families who suffered heavy losses in the chaotic times of the late Sui Dynasty, reproduction was a very important issue.
Population is a top priority. If the age of marriage is advanced five years, one generation will be added within a decade. How can we wait until the age of twenty?
So generally speaking, when a man reaches the age of fifteen and a woman has haircut, she can get married.
If a lady from a well-known family has not yet been engaged after the age of fifteen, her family background is not good, or she is disabled, and it will be difficult to find a good husband...
Don't say that the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married. Because of the romantic affairs and arrogance of Emperor Gaozu's princesses, the reputation of the princesses of the Tang Dynasty was extremely bad. Who in a serious family would be willing to marry a princess and make the whole family uneasy?
The two generations of emperors, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong, were so prestige that they strongly assigned their princesses to their meritorious children. No one dared to disobey their superiors and they all recognized them with pinched noses.
But Li Chengqian does not have such a high prestige. If he wants to assign the princess to a family, the probability of being rejected is actually very high. They are all achievements that cost his life. He is very tough and can even do things like mutiny.
Again and again, it is too normal not to give Li Chengqian face.
And those whose family status is too low are not worthy of the royal family, so the range of choices for a prince-in-law is actually very small...
Princess Jinyang lowered her eyes and said obediently, "Oh, then I'll trouble my sister-in-law."
She can't refuse a marriage proposal, but she can choose. For example, this one is not as good as her brother-in-law in literary talent, that one is not as strong in martial arts, and the other one is not as good-looking as my brother-in-law... She can't just marry me off casually.
Get one that I don’t like, right?
Anyway, just drag it.
The queen smiled and said: "What kind of trouble is this? My father, emperor and mother are gone, and you are the one who is the most important to His Majesty and this palace. We must find a suitable family for you. But I have met Feng Simin.
, although he is two years younger than you, he has extraordinary literary talent, quick thinking, and good looks. When he gets married during the filial period, he will be at the right age and is considered a good match. I will talk to His Majesty later and see how to manage it.
After all, the Feng family is in some trouble now."
The impeachment of the Feng family by the Yushitai was not small. Many censors clamored to deprive Feng Deyi of all his official titles and gifts. If this was really the case, the Feng family would suffer a disastrous decline, which may not be suitable for Princess Jinyang.
Let your majesty explore the details of Yushitai and see what kind of punishment the Feng family will receive, and then make a decision...
Princess Jinyang sat with an upright posture, her slender waist was straight, and her beautiful face was somewhat rosy. She whispered softly: "A sister-in-law is like a mother, and the queen can make the decision."
Shui Yingying's eyes narrowed slightly, did the Queen fall in love with Feng Simin?
If the queen begged the emperor's brother to come forward, and the punishment of the Feng family would not be very serious, then the chance of this happening would be very high.
It's a little dangerous...
Princess Changle, who was quietly drinking tea in Yun Danfeng, glanced at Princess Jinyang and saw her eyes twinkling. She suddenly felt something in her heart and warned: "This is a serious matter, so don't play tricks on me."
Princess Jinyang was startled, and quickly raised her face with a bright smile: "Marriage matters are naturally decided by the matchmaker ordered by the parents. Since the parents are no longer here, of course it is the emperor's brother and the queen's sister-in-law who make the decision."
Princess Changle snorted softly. She understood that this younger sister looked dignified and elegant but was actually an eccentric character. She was not gullible, but she said no more.
…
Returning to her palace, bathing and dressing under the service of the maid, Princess Jinyang knelt down on the mat in front of the window, squinting at the courtyard under the sunset, her back straight, her sitting posture elegant, and her whole body revealed
A ladylike temperament.
After a while, she called her personal maid in front of her and ordered: "Go to Xuanwu Gate immediately to see if your brother-in-law is there. If he is, invite him over and say that I have important matters to discuss with you. If he is not, you will wait.
There, wait until your brother-in-law appears, without making any mistakes."
"Here."
The maid bowed in agreement, quickly took the two people out, and rushed straight to the Xuanwu Gate.
Princess Jinyang felt uneasy in her heart. This time, it seemed that the queen had some thoughts. She was determined to get her marriage, and she couldn't delay it if she wanted to. She could only make the decision from the man's side and make the Feng family retreat in spite of the difficulties.
And the only one who can help her and give her complete trust is Fang Jun.
After all, my brother-in-law must not be willing to marry himself...
Princess Jinyang changed from kneeling to sitting cross-legged, resting her elbows on her knees and supporting her chin with her palms. She looked out the window in a daze at the white snow under the sunset, and her bright eyes were dyed with a layer of magnificent gold.

Establishing Jinwu Guards is a very cumbersome matter. It seems that it is not complicated to cancel the left and right guards and add left and right Jinwu Guards. However, the original two guards must be reorganized into two new guards, and the functions must be greatly increased, especially the elimination of
The power of the Chai family in the original Zuotun Guards transferred some officers to join the two guards. All kinds of affairs were complicated, and we had to be alert and not neglect anything.
The most important thing is that the original left guard was not familiar with firearms, let alone the theory, formation, equipment maintenance, and logistics of firearms combat. It was necessary to disperse all the left and right guards, and use the generals of the right guard who were familiar with firearms to lead the soldiers.
The discord and even hatred among the Zuotun guards, including the allocation of generals and schools, the deployment of soldiers, and even the avoidance of some generals and schools were enough to make the entire Jinwu Guard leadership very anxious.
After all, after forming the army, the left and right Jinwu guards were not only responsible for Chang'an garrison and palace guard, but also were in charge of the city's fire ban, public security, anti-theft and other matters. The matter was so big that no slack was allowed, so Fang Jun spent these days
I spend most of my time at Xuanwumen, lest I miss anything.
The busy official duties came to an end, and when I looked up, I saw that the sky was already full of sunset, the heavy snow suddenly stopped, the sky and the earth were silvery white, and the rays of rays of light reflected on it were so bright and beautiful that it was a bit dazzling.
Just as he was about to prepare dinner, a soldier quickly walked in: "Commander, Your Highness Jinyang has sent someone to meet you on important matters."
Fang Jun was stunned: "Let her come in."
"Here."
The soldiers exited. Fang Jun poured himself a cup of herbal tea and took a big sip. Then he saw a maid entering under the guidance of the soldiers.
"My servant is here to see the Duke of Yue. Your Highness, please be sure to come to the palace to discuss any important matters."
"Now?"
Fang Jun frowned and glanced out of the window. The setting sun had already set, and the afterglow gradually dissipated. The sky was getting darker at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye. Although the keys to the various palaces in the palace had not yet been locked, it was already too late after all. He still had to go to Princess Changle's place.
Well, after all, everyone inside and outside the palace knew about the closeness between the two, but it would be very inappropriate to go to a princess who was not yet married and was waiting to be married.
