Sitting next to the princess is an old woman who has received several blessing gifts. She is the princess who cared for Meng in her early years, the granddaughter of Prince Lilie, and the daughter of Prince Yingyi, the third son of Prince Lilie.
She has a high seniority, and is the equal of the Queen Mother in terms of seniority. She is the cousin of several Fujin princes, and she still has the title of Heshuo Gege, so naturally she can sit down and receive the ceremony.
When it comes to Shu Shu, the relationship is multifaceted.
It's her great-aunt.
She is also Mrs. Bo’s biological aunt.
The princess is in her sixties, a little thin, with obvious Sichuan lines between her eyebrows. She looks like an unkind old lady.
She was wearing a flag dress, which was different from the current flag dress style. It was a loose robe, which was not much different from the Mongolian dress.
It was a popular style in the early years.
His head is not covered with gold and jade like others, but he wears a black bun, and only his wrist is wrapped with a string of Bodhi beads.
This kind of attire is similar to the Queen Mother's attire, making her status as a widow obvious.
But according to her age, it's nothing.
The princess waved to Shu Shu.
Shu Shu stepped forward honestly.
The princess groped Shu Shu's hand and looked at her appearance carefully.
Shu Shu Xiao's mother, her eyebrows and eyes all followed Jue Luo's.
The princess was slightly disappointed. When she saw Shu Shu's ears, her eyes settled and she smiled: "What a pair of 'Fu Shou ears', the same as your grandmother's..."
Shu Shu listened shyly.
What is "Fu Shou Er"?
This is well said.
In fact, it is "close to the head and ears", and since she is now thinner, she is still slightly exposed.
When I was fat as a child, my face was round and my ears were not visible at all from the front, which made me look weird.
Shu Shu couldn't help but look at the princess, her eyes falling on the princess' ears.
The princess’s ears…
It's the "golden ear" on the hexagram.
The top of the ears is higher than the brow bone, and there are bead-like earlobes below. The ears are as white as silver, indicating wealth.
However, the color of the ears is too white, whiter than the face. This is due to the loss of a child in old age and the lack of support...
Shu Shu's heart trembled.
Although she had just told Jiu Age before that she was not a believer in either religion.
But there is some knowledge that science cannot explain.
"Prince Shuncheng's Mansion, are you okay now..."
asked the old princess.
Since she comes from this branch, that is her natal family.
Shu Shu considered it, not knowing what to say.
The direct descendants of this clan are a bit unhappy.
The old princess' Ama was originally chosen as the heir chosen by Prince Lilie, but she died with Prince Lilie first, and this branch became a side branch.
The old princess's brother, the first generation of Shuncheng County Prince, also died in his prime.
The nephew of the old princess is still alive. He was knighted at the age of two, which means he was revoked early, and then the title was passed on to his sons.
The third son became a prince at the age of four and died at the age of five.
Then the fourth son became a prince at the age of one and died at the age of six.
Then the seventh son ascended the throne at the age of three and is now fourteen years old and on the throne.
You must know that the power of the princes of the Eight Banners is not static.
For two consecutive generations, the Prince of Shuncheng County has been a child prince, lacking military merit and relying solely on his laurels.
Prince Kang's Mansion and Prince Ping's Mansion were each other's arms, so he was not bullied.
The Karaqin tribe is close to the capital, and the emperor often came here before when he visited the north.
The old princess didn't know everything about the capital.
Seeing that Shu Shu didn't speak for a long time, she frowned and said, "But what's wrong with the prince?"
Shu Shu nodded: "I heard that the prince has a qi disease, and he has been recuperating for the past two years..."
The old princess smiled bitterly and said: "It's all fate..."
Shu Shu didn't know how to solve it.
Speaking of which, few of the founding kings died alive.
Not one or two of Prince Lilie's descendants died short-lived.
Especially the direct bloodline.
Three princely hats and a dozen beilebeizi princes may seem to have unlimited glory, but they are all achieved through the hard work of several generations.
People nowadays are superstitious and feel that killing their ancestors too much will be detrimental to their heirs.
The old princess may have thought so too.
As Shu Shu thought about it, she heard the old princess whisper: "It has been almost forty years since the Emperor took the throne. It is estimated that it is time for a new generation of people..."
Shu Shu sat respectfully on the small stool, her expression unchanged, but she didn't understand.
But she was very shaken.
No wonder people are said to become wiser with age!
Think about every turmoil and purge in the clan. In the final analysis, it is because of the replacement of the throne and the redistribution of power.
Emperor Taizu died at the age of sixty-eight, barely living a long life.
Emperor Taizong died at the age of fifty-two, with a mediocre life.
Emperor Shizu died young at the age of twenty-four.
The nobles of the Eight Banners and the princes of the clan have begun to wait and see the princes and elder brothers. Bajie Zhongwen website
This generation of princes are growing up one after another. How tempting is the "achievement of support" in front of them?
The old princess's expression was very calm. She was turning the Bodhi beads in her hand and said softly: "I only want to see Taizu's court affairs..."
Shu Shu blinked.
What are the affairs of Taizu's court?
Taizu abolished the inheritance rights of two legitimate sons one after another! ?
The reasons for abolishing Chu seem to be plausible, but in the final analysis, it is "the father is old and the son is strong".
A royal princess who has been caring for Meng for decades can think of this, but what about the old men in the court?
When the elders presented gifts to the three Fujins, the old princess made no secret of her preference for Shu Shu, a distant relative.
One handle is inlaid with the seven precious gold Ruyi.
This is obvious. In fact, when you avoid people, you still have a wallet.
A light purse.
There were only a few withered yellow deed papers inside.
There are two villages in Gyeonggi Province and four shops in the outer city.
I can collect it if I wish, but it is difficult to collect these deed papers.
No reward for no merit.
Shu Shu didn't believe that she could get such love from her great-aunt after just one meeting.
Even if there is a blood relationship between the two, it is far away.
It was so sudden and unsettling.
"If my aunt has any instructions, please say so... If my granddaughter can accept it, I will accept it. But if I can't do it, I can only complain to you..."
Shu Shu said directly without beating around the bush.
The old princess stopped twirling the prayer beads, her face was dark and unclear, and she said after a while: "My child, do you believe there is really retribution in this world?"
Shu Shu thought about it carefully and nodded: "There should be some. Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that the time has not come for not repaying, otherwise there will be too many grievances between heaven and earth..."
The old princess looked pale and seemed to be crying: "Yes, no matter what time, retribution will come..."
Shu Shu didn't dare to answer the question.
When people in the world encounter birth, old age, sickness and death, and where human power is irreversible, they always place their hope in gods.
After not receiving the blessing of the gods, he will give himself a reasonable explanation.
Karma comes from this.
This old princess is a man with a story.
"My days are numbered..."
The old princess grabbed Shu Shu's wrist, her palms cold and wet.
Shu Shu was startled and quickly looked at the face of the old princess.
It doesn’t look like a flashback!
"If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better ask for Ping'an pulse as soon as possible. Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment..."
Shu Shu could only comfort her like this.
"It's all retribution!"
The old princess shook her head: "I became a widow at the age of twenty-three, lost my son at the age of thirty-three, my grandson at the age of forty-three, and my great-grandson at the age of fifty-three... This year, I am sixty-three..."
Shu Shu felt her neck getting hairy as she listened.
This fate is so bad!
And such a well-proportioned interval is really annoying.
The old princess said, very calmly: "You can't do bad things, God knows, earth knows, ghosts and gods know..."
Shu Shu still stretched out her hand, with a purse in her hand, and had no intention of taking it back.
What does the old lady’s cause and effect have to do with herself?
I want to leave the cause and effect to myself, but I am too lazy to take on this trouble.
The two met for the first time and were complete strangers.
The old princess looked at Shu Shu and her eyes fell on her ears: "That year, when I was thirteen... I got the decree of Fu Meng... My cousin was afraid that I would be timid and careless, so she took me over. My stomach is aching... Seeing her husband and wife loving each other, living a smooth life, and about to give birth to Lin'er... I go crazy... Why should she marry her cousin, stay in Beijing, and enjoy wealth, but I want to care for her? "
Her tone was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.
Shu Shu stared at the old princess with wide eyes, unable to hide her surprise.
"I spilled hair oil...watched her slip..."
After the old princess finished speaking, she took a long breath.
Shu Shu was so angry that she suppressed her anger and said: "Karma, I'm sure I'm not happy at all!"
She directly collected her purse, turned around and left.
This is not someone else’s story!
When her grandmother gave birth to her first child, she gave birth prematurely to a sickly eldest son.
People in the Eight Banners talk about concubines, but they don’t talk much about seniority.
The succession of titles is not dominated by the eldest son, but also by the youngest son.
After all, a family is established through military service, and it is normal for the eldest son to leave early and earn merit by himself under the support and protection of the family.
A son like my uncle, who was born prematurely and was weak and could not even join the army, would generally not become an heir, but would be reduced to a side branch, dependent on his brothers.
The Dong E family is completely different because of the persistence of Grandma Shu Shu.
In addition, Qi Xi and the uncle were brothers, had a good relationship, and had no intention of seizing the title, so the title of the uncle fell to the eldest brother.
It turns out that my uncle's health is not the result of incest, but a man-made disaster!
It comes from the jealousy of a thirteen-year-old girl!
Shu Shu was so angry that she had to hold back to keep herself from losing her composure.
Although the previous Mongolian Fujins looked up to the stars of the Five Fortunes because of the Queen Mother, in fact, when it came time to give gifts to the Princes, they did not dare to look down on Shu Shu and the Seventh Fortune.
At most, in addition to the gifts that the three sisters-in-law have, they can give Wufujin one or two more.
The Seven Fortunes fill their cheeks with joy.
The two palace maids could not hold these gifts.
Concubine Yi was so attentive that she arranged for a few young eunuchs to follow them before bringing the gift boxes back to them.
When Shu Shu returned to her room and sat down by the kang, her face dropped and she felt very depressed.
She looked at her purse and put it away calmly.
If you do something evil, you should compensate the victim.
Otherwise, if you say that you have received retribution and say that you regret it, then forget it?
Not to mention other times, even in the past ten years since Shu Shu can remember, my uncle has been struggling to live.
Tormented by illness and weakness all year round, it would have been gone if it had been anyone else.
My uncle has a perseverance and has persisted all these years.
And Amo...
If my uncle had been in good health, the two of them would have had children and grandchildren long ago...
Shu Shu burst into tears.
Brother Jiu had received a dozen gift boxes, large and small, and was about to show them off to Shu Shu when he saw her crying.
"What's going on here?"
Brother Jiu was startled, rushed forward, leaned over and said, "Were you bullied?"
Shu Shu felt extremely uncomfortable, and her heart became even more sour when she saw Brother Nine. Instead of getting up, she directly hugged Brother Nine's waist, and her tears became more and more intense.
Brother Jiu had a panic look on his face: "What happened? Are you so wronged? Is it... something was inappropriate when meeting guests? The imperial grandmother told me, or the empress..."
