Chapter 541 Isn't there another princess?
There are seven princesses in the Dongqin royal family. Among them, the eldest princess is married in Kyoto and has her own princess’s mansion. The sixth princess and the seventh princess are waiting to be married. The rest are sent to different places for marriage.
This is the sorrow of the royal princesses. They were destined to embark on a road further and further away from their mother tribes since they were born. It is almost their unified destiny to marry in Kyoto like the eldest princess. That is a very unique way.
The second princess of Dongqin, Jun Wuxia, married Han Gan, was almost twenty years ago. It was the first princess in Dongqin who married away. Although it took many years, whenever the second princess was mentioned, people could still remember that Tianhe Emperor married his daughter. The whole palace could hear the crying of Concubine De. But even crying like this, it still could not change the fate of his daughter marrying far away.
That day, Concubine De personally covered the second princess with a wedding cheess and watched the second princess leave the palace. Since then, she has been sick until the second princess has reached Han Gan. After getting married, the first hand-written letter was sent back to Kyoto, and she took her last breath.
Emperor Tianhe was moved by Concubine Huaide and posthumously named Concubine after his death. But no matter how high the position is, what's the use of glory? A daughter married far away, like cutting off a piece of meat from her mother's heart, especially when the Han Gan came to welcome the bride and handed it to Concubine De, everyone remembered Concubine De at that time. She was in a dignified palace master, and she cried heartily with the raw pork.
That is called Li Niang's meat, which is a tradition of getting married in a cold and sweet place. It means taking away the mother's meat and then using a piece of pork to fill the scar left when cutting off the meat in her heart.
But how can pork be compared with the meat in her heart? Concubine De understood that her meat in her heart would never be returned.
The year the second princess got married, Bai Mingzhu had just entered the palace and had experienced such a princess marriage in less than three months after entering the palace.
The second princess' marriage gave Bai Mingzhu the greatest shock in her life, especially the words of Concubine De, which made her firmly believe that only her mother's family would have a place in this palace in the future.
Concubine De said: Why only marry my daughter? It’s not because I don’t have the support of my mother! Otherwise, why would so many adult princesses fight me alone?
Bai Mingzhu remembered this, so she was determined to hope that her brother would be motivated and hoped that her brother would support her and her children in the future. Until four years later, she really gave birth to a daughter, this kind of dependence became stronger.
"Why is the second princess wrong?" Bai Mingzhu's voice trembled. For some reason, this news made her a little scared.
Delin said: "I heard the words of the old eunuchs, saying that the letter from Han Gan just arrived. It said that the second princess has been in bad health since she gave birth to the little prince. She was infected with the cold wind several months ago, and now she is almost exhausted and has dried up."
Bai Mingzhu trembled suddenly in her heart. She was thinking about Jun Changning's marriage just now, but in a blink of an eye, she heard the news that the second princess was exhausted. Is this a sign of something? If she lost a second princess, would Han Gan have the idea of marrying her again?
"How long does it take to send letters from the northern cold land to Beijing?" Bai Mingzhu planned this journey, "It will take two months to speed up to 800 miles, right?"
Delin knew her feelings and sighed softly: "More than that. Han Gan and Dong Qin are separated by a snow mountain, which is extremely difficult to climb. It is said that when the second princess got married, the carriage almost climbed on the snow mountain. In this way, even if it is 800 miles faster, it will take more than three months at the earliest, not to mention that it is 800 miles faster. Empress, I am saying something wrong with me, when I write a letter, the oil is gone and the lights are gone. The letter has just arrived today, I am afraid that people have already..."
"It must be gone." Bai Mingzhu stood up and walked around the room constantly. Finally, she couldn't help calling Shuangying in again, "Go and find out what Han Gan wrote in, and there is nothing else to say except for the second princess's affairs."
霜英点头去了,德林问她:“娘娘是不是在担心六公主?”
Bai Mingzhu sighed again, "Yes, Changning is seventeen years old and is over the age of promised marriage. Do you think Han Gan will be unsatisfied? Will he continue to ask for another princess of Dong Qin?"
Delin quickly comforted: "My lady, don't think too much, probably not. The king of Han Gan is almost sixty years old, so why do you have the face to marry our princess from Dongqin? Even for the sake of state affairs, the emperor would not marry his beautiful daughter to an old man. Wouldn't that be laughed at by the world? Our emperor wants face."
Bai Mingzhu thought this was reasonable, and she finally let go of her heart, but she hadn't let go of all of them. "That little prince is not yet two years old? She can still give birth to the second princess when she is almost sixty. I think that Han Gan Guojun is also a person who is dissatisfied with the old age. What's more, even if he doesn't marry himself, don't he still have a son? What if he wants to marry us for the crown prince?"
Later, Shuangying came back and the news brought back was: "Han Gan's letter was followed by the secret report from the Dongqin Yiren. I asked about a small eunuch in front of the hall. According to the little eunuch, the emperor was furious because the news from the tip said that the second prince did not lose his body because of giving birth to the little prince, but because he had experienced a miscarriage at the beginning of the year, and his body was lost in that miscarriage. It seemed that the miscarriage was violently beaten by the king of Han Gan, and the little eunuch didn't hear much. In short, the emperor was angry at this moment and threatened to destroy Han Gan, but even Queen Chen could not persuade him."
Bai Mingzhu was anxious, "What's there to persuade me? If you want to fight, just fight! That little country has been in trouble for many years. Dong Qin has already caught a second princess. Now that people are harmed like this, can they still be kept?"
The servants didn't say anything, and gradually Bai Mingzhu calmed down.
A war cannot be fought just by fighting, and the emperor can only speak like this when he is angry. Han Gan is separated from Dong Qin by a snow mountain, so it is not so easy to fight just by fighting. Just the soldiers of Dong Qin will suffer a lot of losses if they cross the snow mountain. Then they will fight in Beihan. Even if they are elite soldiers under the tenth prince, it will be difficult to perform.
It is easier for Han Gan people to cross the Dong Qin because they are used to walking back and forth in the snow. The snow-capped mountain is an insurable barrier for Dong Qin, but for Han Gan people, it is just an ordinary mountain range, and it is too easy to come over.
Therefore, the Eastern Qin Dynasty has sent heavy troops to garrison the northern border for many years, and the Han Gan people are coveting the Central Plains and raising troops to cause chaos.
"If you can't fight, you have to be reconciled." Bai Mingzhu's heart sank again, "The king is too old and can still use the crown prince to reconcile. In short, if they have this idea, they will always come up with a solution. Now the only princesses at home are Changning and the legitimate princess, but the legitimate princess is only thirteen years old and has not yet finished her hair, so naturally she can't marry her. Then it's only my Changning..."
Bai Mingzhu became more and more upset the more she thought about it. When she thought of Bai Xingyan just now, she became even more depressed. After so many years, why was her brother so unsuccessful? She has not grown up after so many years. In the end, the mother and daughter are still helpless.
Seeing his master's appearance, Delin tentatively said: "It is not necessarily necessary to marry a marriage. After all, the second princess left two princes and one princess for the Han Gan king! Besides, even if we want to marry, our Dongzhen does not have only the sixth princess and the legitimate princess, isn't there a heaven-given princess?"
Bai Mingzhu stopped her pace and her eyes lit up.
Yes, there is also a princess who is in heaven! Bai Heran also called the emperor to call the father and the queen to call the queen to have an initial mother. If she really wanted to marry her, why couldn't she do her part for Dong Qin?
Shuangying frowned after hearing this, "Princess Tianci has been married to the Tenth Prince. That Tenth Prince is not a good person to talk to. If he really put his ideas on her, if he annoys them, it will be a bad end."
Delin didn't say anything after hearing this. Behind His Highness the Tenth Highness were thousands of troops, two-thirds of the military power of Dong Qin. He also had a brother, His Highness the Ninth, who held the Hall of the King of Hell, and cut off the life and death of the official family. There was also a fourth Highness who had always been close to them. It seemed that there was nothing, but that was Mr. Lingyun's closed disciple. Mr. Lingyun was so powerful that the entire world!
Which one is they can afford?
Bai Mingzhu's face became more and more ugly.
Compared to these people's thoughts, the old lady who went to Xiaobai Mansion lived a good life. After Bai Heran's conditioning, Tan's fetus, which was almost slipped by Bai Huayan, became much more stable, and the fetus position was even corrected than before, which surprised Tan and the second master Bai Xingwu. They kept talking about Bai Heran every day and praised him.
Although Bai Qianjiao was a little awkward, she was extremely honest with the host house, and she felt even more uncomfortable about her mother's pregnancy. She was worried that her younger brother would fall out of favor all day long. But no matter what, others made her dislike her. This time Bai Heran was equivalent to her benefactor. Not only did she save her, but she also angrily made her angry. As soon as she thought of Bai Heran sucking Bai Huayan like a bloody man, she felt very happy.
So her parents praised Bai Heran, and she also praised her. The old lady loved to listen to them praise Bai Heran. This made Xiaobai Mansion happy all day long and live a smooth life.
Tan's heart is not bad, even if he is not good at speaking, he always has to be unreasonable. Although Bai Heran saved her, she held a grudge against Xiao Ye and Bai Huayan. Once she didn't scold her three times, she seemed to have never been there, and she still liked to chant in the old lady's ear.
Not only did he talk about Xiao Ye's mother and daughter, but he also talked about Bai Xingyan. He was not the first to pass the title to him, but now he has suffered, which has caused the old lady in the mansion to live in the mansion of the second son who has divided the family.
Although the old lady thought Tan's words were ugly, she could not refute them. After all, they were all true. But she still told Tan's name: "The title was passed down by the old man. I, a woman, can't make the decision, but I know that if the title was passed down to the second brother, I'm afraid that neither of you will survive today."
When Tan thought about what happened to the main house, he knew that the old lady was not exaggerating, so she didn't mention such words.
However, it is still necessary to gossip, otherwise she would be too bored with a big belly. So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to talk happily about Bai Zhenzhen's marriage...
