Chapter 95: The Concubine Tao Rui (3)
Although the history of this world is completely different from that of China, it is somewhat similar. Today's dynasty is similar to the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It was the time of peace. Except for the occasional harassment of some nomadic peoples on the border, even natural disasters and man-made disasters are relatively rare, which is considered a peaceful and prosperous era.
"Girl, this is today's residence report." The personal maid Qinglu took a stack of paper in.
"Let's go." Hao Xin didn't lift her. Fortunately, Qinglu got used to it, and the original owner was almost the same. After putting down the newspaper, she retreated outside the study room.
Hao Xin put down the history books and picked up the palace newspaper to read it. The ancient palace newspapers usually only recorded official documents, official news and court news, all of which were indifferent, and real major events would not be disclosed.
The biggest news in the di newspaper today is the return of the Ouyang family, the general of Zhenyuan who had been guarding the border for more than ten years. In fact, this news has been around for a month. From the emperor's return of General Zhenyuan more than a month ago, to the time when he finally arrived yesterday, the di newspaper described the grand occasion of the army entering the city at that time. The emperor was waiting in person at the gate of the palace. It took a month to go from the border to the capital.
Unfortunately, I only came here today. I didn’t have the opportunity to see such a grand occasion. I think it should be quite unique. The others are just some irrelevant news, but after careful reading, Hao Xin still found some useful information, such as the above mentioned that the fifth prince is about to be crowned and won the title of king.
The emperor now has five sons, of course they are standing. Children who have not lived past five years old will not be included in the ranking. Now there are five princes, third princes, fourth princes, fifth princes and seventh princes. Among them, the eldest prince was born by a concubine. He is married at the age of 25 this year and has two sons and one daughter.
The third prince and the fourth prince are 23 years old, born at the beginning of the year and end of the year, and they also got married in the same year. The third prince has a son and a daughter, the fourth prince has two daughters, and the fifth prince is the queen and is only 18 years old this year. He has made the eldest daughter of the Minister of Rites as his wife. The seventh prince and the eldest prince are the same mother. They are only 7 years old this year, and they are also the good concubine who has a son in old age.
Now, the fifth prince, who is the legitimate son, has also won the title and will enter the court later, which means that the new generation of throne fights will begin. In fact, the throne fights should have begun after the princes were born one after another, otherwise the second and sixth princes would not have died unexpectedly after the age of 5.
However, no matter what happened, the emperor suppressed him and proposed to establish a crown prince and the emperor also used excuses to shirk him. For example, the legitimate son is still young, and now the legitimate son is already an adult, so there is no excuse anymore, but the legitimate son is still free and hard.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Hao Xin. After all, she has no intention of marrying a prince or becoming a mistress. She mainly cares about government affairs. In today's peaceful and prosperous times, those who will cause death for no reason will be to take sides. Of course, it may also be to be arrested for embezzlement, or framed. Well, it seems that there is no time for peace in the officialdom.
After thinking about it, Hao Xin finally gave up. Who is the original owner of the emperor doesn’t know because she died five years after marriage. Unfortunately, the winner was not decided at that time. But what is certain is that the fourth prince has no chance, because he has been confirmed to lose the qualification for competition five years later. Why? He, who has no son, will be injured in a year and cannot have children? Why do you think?
Wow, why did you think of this again? Did you read too much about palace douwen? You were planning to find a prince to invest? Think about the prince’s backyard. Even the fifth prince who was not married now has palace maids to serve and future concubines. If you think about it, you will hate it.
In fact, life is now hers, and she can choose another way, such as escaping death. As for the fact that it is impossible to go to the family temple or temple if it is broken, the law at this time is very strict with women. If it is broken, she is just a little concubine and will probably be killed directly.
There is still a little room for fraud. It is just that going out in this world is more troublesome and requires a road guide. Moreover, women under 40 are not allowed to run a female household. Unless she enters the palace to be a palace maid, she can apply for a female household after being released at the age of 25. This is a gift to the palace maid. After all, in ancient times, a woman who was not married at the age of 25 was an older single woman.
However, it is obviously not realistic for her to be a palace maid. Palace maids are generally recruited from the public, or are descendants of some criminals. She is an official lady, even if she is a concubine, she cannot get in. Unless she enters the palace to be a concubine, it is even more impossible.
So after thinking about it, it would be better to marry a poor student, leave the Tao family, and then find a way to get a female family to leave. As for finding a husband, it is not attractive to Hao Xin. She is very weak and passive in terms of relationships. Unless the other party loves her so much that it touches her enough, it is actually nothing to be single until she is old.
In fact, it is not impossible to go straight away. As long as you practice martial arts, you can do it. But in that case, you may only avoid big cities and hide in rural areas. Moreover, this generation is harsh on women. A woman who is single will be treated by harassment and contempt and other treatments. Unfortunately, there is no martial arts here, otherwise it would be great to go directly to the martial arts world.
"Girl, Biyun is here." Lan Xing walked to the door and knocked on the door and said.
"Biyun, why is she here? Please come in." Biyun is the second-class maid next to her mother Li, and she is quite proud. Hao Xin got up and walked to the main hall.
"I have met the second girl." Biyun saluted Hao Xin after coming in.
"No gift, why is Sister Biyun coming?" Hao Xin waved her hand, Lan Xing stepped forward and helped Biyun up and asked her to sit on a small scepter.
"Sister Biyun, please have tea." Qinglu poured Biyun a cup of tea.
"Miss II is so polite. I'm here to deliver posts to the girl. Three days later, Miss Sun San from the Grand Tutor's Mansion held a lotus-welcome banquet and sent posts to all the three girls in the mansion. The wife asked me to send the second girl over." Biyun took out a very elegant flower note from her wide sleeves and handed it to Hao Xin.
"That's how, Sister Biyun went to report back to her mother and said that her daughter knew and would definitely prepare early in three days." Hao Xin took the flower note and said with a smile.
"Then I'll say goodbye first." Biyun stood up, and Hao Xin didn't get up either. She glanced at Lan Xing. Lan Xing knew how to send Biyun out and stuffed a purse into her arms. Biyun did not refuse, and then returned to the main yard after a few jokes.
