Liu Chang was very satisfied with the marriage to Chengshan Hou. This was already the best result. As a military commander close to the emperor, there is definitely no hope in marrying a civil servant. Therefore, the best choice is to marry Xungui.
Ningxiang wandered around the treasure building for an hour, selected a dozen pieces of the finest jewelry, and gave them to Shu Liang and Liu Chang, asking them to take them home to please women.
Liu Chang still said sternly: "My Majesty, how can a grown man please a woman? I have to make an agreement with your Majesty first. Even if I marry the granddaughter of Chengshan Hou, I will not be able to lie down to her." Make it small.
As for the concubine given by the empress, the most I can do is treat her with courtesy, and it is absolutely impossible for me to obey her order by asking her to please her in a low voice. "
Ningxiang smiled and said: "Uncle Wu An, you have to learn more from the emperor. It's not just that the emperor just yells, and we women will all bow down to him and be completely devoted to him.
You can't see it outside. In fact, when at home, the emperor kept his profile very low. Not only did he not display the emperor's music, but also, hey, there are some boudoir matters that I can't tell you in detail. In short, it's that kind of book. The emperor is willing to do whatever the men here do, and the emperor is also willing to do whatever the men don't do.
Wu Anbo, go back and find two books and learn from them. If you do this, the women in your family will stop causing trouble. "
When Liu Chang heard this, he could only sincerely praise: "The Holy Spirit is a true god and man, and I will eventually be unable to catch him."
Ningxiang was still going to speak when she heard a burst of noise coming from outside the building. So several people hurried to the window and looked out.
It turned out that Zhu Qiyu took Lin Xiangyu out of Baibao Pavilion and was about to go to Jietian Tower, but unexpectedly he was blocked on the street.
Looking closer, I saw a young woman crying, wiping snot and tears on Lin Xiangyu's body. Another young man was kneeling on the ground, holding his neck and arguing something.
Ningxiang was so happy that she laughed out loud: "What kind of woman is she? She's so powerful. That girl Mei'er is also here today. I'm so happy."
Liu Chang and Shu Liang were speechless when they heard this. How could this empress be so gloating about her misfortune? She promised that the sisters were of the same mind and were like one person.
The few people were a little far apart and couldn't hear clearly what was being said on the other side. Shu Liang looked carefully for a moment and then exclaimed: "Mother, my servant recognized it. That woman is the eldest princess of Changde, and the man is Xue Huan, the consort of the eldest princess of Changde."
Liu Chang retorted: "It's impossible. How could the dignified eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty act like a shrew on the street? This is too unbecoming."
Shu Liang explained: "Wu Anbo, you don't know the secrets here unless you are in the inner court. In fact, the status of Princess Ming is really not very high.
In addition, the reputation of Princess Changde's biological mother, Concubine Xuanmiao, had been disgraced, and no one took Princess Changde seriously for a long time.
Moreover, Xue Huan, the consort, has been beating and scolding the eldest princess recently. When he is away, he openly goes to the brothel to look for flowers and beauties. At home, he supports the family, invites friends, and enjoys himself wantonly.
The eldest princess of Changde, in the words of the emperor, must have lost her mentality and started to break things.
Besides, if she wasn't acting bad on the street, no one would pay attention to her, let alone stand up for her. The eldest princess's current behavior is not a threat to the emperor.
It was so easy to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and force the emperor to punish the consort in front of the people watching in the capital. Even for the sake of royal decency, the emperor would choose to take the overall situation into consideration and keep peace. "
Ningxiang heard the words and praised: "Our chief governor has really made progress. In just a short time, he analyzed the cause and effect clearly.
However, there is one thing I don't quite agree with. Your prince will not compromise, and your princess will not compromise either.
Fortunately, the clothes your princess is wearing today were made by the needlework bureau. If she had made them herself and been made like that by the eldest princess, you can see how much your prince dotes on her.
Come on, let's go downstairs and get closer to see the excitement. Grand Governor, you have to protect me for a while, don't let that crazy woman jump on me. "
Shu Liang quickly agreed. The three of them went downstairs and came to Zhu Qiyu.
At this time, the eldest princess of Changde was crying heartbrokenly, while Lin Xiangyu suppressed her unhappiness and comforted her there.
Seeing Ningxiang, Shu Liang, and Liu Chang arriving with light steps, Lin Xiangyu glared at the bad girl.
Ningxiang secretly made a face in return while no one was paying attention.
And Xue Huan, with red eyes, was kneeling there and telling the emperor his grievances.
Zhu Qiyu stood there, extremely embarrassed. The eldest princess of Changde obviously deliberately embarrassed herself today by dragging herself, the emperor, to die with her. Even if I am embarrassed anyway, I have to drag you with me to be embarrassed. It all depends on who is more shameless.
For Xue Huan, Zhu Qiyu can also understand him. He was originally the son of Marquis Yangwu, a good and noble son of the Marquis, but he was caught to be your bullshit prince-in-law.
The consort is not allowed to be an official, not allowed to hold real power; not allowed to have concubines, not allowed to support the family; not allowed to visit brothels, not allowed to do that.
If the princess's dowry palace attendant is more mean and strictly follows the rules, the prince-in-law will see the princess on a regular basis and has to be informed by the palace attendant before sleeping with the princess. If the palace attendant gets in the way, you won't even be able to see the princess's face.
Especially Princess Changde, who was the biological daughter of the Empress Dowager and the biological sister of the emperor's first wife at that time, she was so powerful that she wanted to go to heaven.
Xue Huan has suffered a lot, and any stupid son of a landlord would be better off than him. The silly son of a landlord can still have three wives and four concubines, and he can still have fun as he pleases.
After Xue Huan finished crying, Zhu Qiyu persuaded the eldest princess of Changde: "I will fine the prince-in-law half a year's salary. That's it. The prince-son-in-law should lead the eldest princess home quickly."
The eldest princess of Changde replied: "No, today, my dear brother, you must give me an explanation. The prince-in-law beat me, how can he just fine me half a year's salary?"
Zhu Qiyu thought to himself: Just thank me. It will be fine if I don't poison you to death. The reason why Xue Huan didn't dare to poison me was because I had delayed sending another consort, Shi Jing, before, which made Xue Huan have some scruples.
If not, Xue Huan would have given you medicine long ago. You, a woman, are exactly like the Concubine Xuanmiao, savage and overbearing.
Zhu Qiyu was just thinking when he heard Lin Xiangyu say to Xue Huan: "Consort, if you hit the eldest princess in the future, the Holy Emperor will give you death.
Today you must swear a solemn oath in front of the Holy One and in public. From now on, you will serve Her Royal Highness the Princess with the loyalty of a minister and a king.
Go back and coax the eldest princess more, and pay more attention to her diet and daily life.
What's the point of going out looking for flowers and asking willows? Why not make some delicious food and wine at home and share your family relationship with the eldest princess.
Of course, the Holy Emperor will not let you suffer too much. From now on, you can go in and out of the eldest princess's boudoir at any time and live like a normal couple. You don't need to be notified by the palace staff anymore. "
Originally, Lin Xiangyu's clothes were stained by Princess Changde, but she was unhappy. But the eldest princess of Changde kept calling her "my palace" in front of Lin Xiangyu's beloved husband, which completely pissed off Lin Xiangyu.
Xue Huan, who was lowering his head and wiping tears, was shocked when he heard this. Covering his mouth and coughing twice, Xue Huan put away the astonishment in his eyes and looked up at the emperor.
No wonder Xue Huan was shocked, it's just that the words "delicious food, fine wine, and shared family relationships" spoken by the princess were too scary. Just four words about delicious food and wine are fine. The key is the 'shared family relationship' behind it.
It seems that "shared family relationship" is not often used alone between husband and wife. This word is more like a hint to the reunion of Changde's eldest princess, Xuanmiao, Xuanmiao's concubine, and Emperor Gongrang's family.
Xue Huan was not sure if he was overthinking, so he looked to the emperor for confirmation.
Zhu Qiyu nodded affirmatively towards Xue Huan: "What the princess means is what I mean. What the princess says is what I mean.
Just follow the princess's golden words. Do as the princess says, you are not responsible if something goes wrong. If there is still no harmony by then, the princess will naturally be responsible for mediating until the end. "
When Xue Huan heard this, he was determined. The emperor clearly affirmed the effectiveness of the princess's promise, so there was nothing to be afraid of. So he immediately vowed without hesitation that he would never beat the eldest princess again, nor would he go out to look for flowers behind the eldest princess' back again.
The eldest princess of Changde saw that Xue Huan was so solemn, so she didn't want to make any more trouble. After all, the goal has been achieved. We can't really let the emperor chop Xue Huan in the street.
Zhu Qiyu enthusiastically ordered Liu Chang to send his personal guards to escort the eldest princess and the consort back to the house, and then took Lin Xiangyu to his own tailor shop to change clothes.
After changing clothes, Zhu Qiyu led everyone to Jietian Tower, where he sat in a private room on the second floor and listened to the guests outside talking about current affairs.
Ningxiang asked curiously: "Does your husband really agree with the solution given by my sister?"
Zhu Qiyu nodded affirmatively: "The eldest princess Changde is nominally related to me, but in fact, she has never looked at me since she was a child.
Xuanmiao, Concubine Xuanmiao, Emperor Gongrang, and the eldest princess of Changde, this is a family.
As an outsider, I rush to become relatives with them. Isn’t that a bit mean?
Besides, if someone asks you to feed me medicine, will you agree?
If a person can't win over his own bed partner, he can't blame others. "
Ningxiang smiled and said, "That's impossible. You are my most beloved man. How can I feed you medicine?"
Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and said, "Isn't that right? If the eldest princess of Changde can't coax her husband well and can't prevent him, then it's her own fault.
Who told her to bully Xue Huan like that when she was in power? Look at me again. When I gained power, not only did I never use my power to bully you, but I would often kneel down and lick you. "
