Thin Mei·Love Fragrance Quilt

Chapter 8

"Yes, my mother invited a gentleman from the Central Plains to teach me how to read, and the husband named me Qianmei. I belong to the Kezhu Department, so I took it as my surname."

"But Qianmei... what a name!" Tang Tianxiao clapped his hands and laughed, "Why, do you think the emperor of Da Zhou is very old?"

"Yes!" Ke Qianmei looked straight into Tang Tianxiao's eyes, and replied with a smile, "I heard that my future husband-in-law has been emperor for more than ten years, so I think he should be very old, and I still want to wait for the old emperor When you drive the crane back, you will go back to Beihe!"

Before Shen Du stopped drinking again, she laughed: "Our daughters in Beihe are straightforward, they speak straight, and they don't turn corners. If there are mistakes, please don't blame the emperor! There are many rules in the Central Plains. It taught me a lot, but I still haven't remembered it all!"

"Heh! I just like daughters who don't bend their tongues!" Tang Tianxiao said with a smile: "If you don't remember, learn slowly, don't worry. Everyone knows that you are from a foreign country, that is, my queen and ministers , and you won’t be restrained by the middle rules early on. General Shen, don’t you think so?”

Shen Du looked at Tang Tianxiao's face, clearly admiring this woman, but said along the way: "Yes, yes, the emperor's benevolence, this... this Princess Kezhu, should be very grateful for the emperor's kindness."

Tang Tianxiao nodded, leaning against the gilded panlong chair, picked up the white jade teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said, "I will pass on my will, canonize Princess Beihe... can..."

He frowned, as if he couldn't remember the name for a moment.

Ke Qianmei raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Your Majesty, my name is Ke Qianmei. I have a light smile and a bright and unparalleled beauty. —— Said by the master who gave me the name."

Tang Tianxiao smiled: "Yes, the canonization can be flattering as Zhaoyuan. For the time being, live in Concubine Du Xian's Yaohua Palace, and learn the etiquette of Middle Earth with Concubine Xian!"

He turned his head to the Prime Minister Du Desheng and said with a smile: "The old prime minister has a strict family style, and this is how to teach a talented woman like Concubine Xian who has the knowledge to advance and retreat!"

Du Desheng credited himself for his face, and thanked him again and again: "The emperor's praise is too high! The emperor's reputation is too high!"

Tang Tianxiao smiled, and when she was about to get up and leave, Ke Qianmei suddenly said, "Your Majesty, what grade is Zhaoyuan?"

"Second product."

"Is it not as noble as the concubine, and even worse than the queen?"

Tang Tianxiao became more interested in this girl who dared to bargain with him in public: "What's the matter? Don't you think it's not honorable enough? The eldest lady of the Dingbei Wang family who has made great contributions to the Great Zhou entered the palace, and she is only Zhaoyi, just on the same level as you. "

Ke Qianmei replied: "Our Beihe welcomes the princess of Zhongtu back. Even if there is a queen, we must set up another palace, which is divided into east and west palaces. The queen is highly respected; although Beihe is not as prosperous as Zhongtu, it is both If the two parties are settled, the emperor should also take care of Beihe's face, don't let me kowtow when I see this one, and salute that one too, right?"

When it comes to the marriage of foreign princesses, even if the emperor doesn't like it, most of them will give them the title of "concubine" to show their respect for foreign countries.But the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty was only two dynasties, and the hierarchy of the harem continued to follow the old system. Below the empress, there were only the four concubines of noble, virtuous, shu, and virtuous.
