The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 163 Princess Huarong
In the spring of the first year of Yongjia, Cheng Wang Yunzhaohui's rebellion was put down, and Cheng Wang, his concubines and his only son were captured.

Yun Baoling, the daughter of Princess Yanyang, was lost among the rebellious army and disappeared.

Yun Ruochen, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yongjia and the owner of Huarong County, returned to Beijing with her younger brother Yunyao. Both siblings are safe.

In April, Yun Ruochen granted the title of Princess Huarong to the Chonghua Palace.

The royal heirs are rare, and Emperor Yongjia's own sisters are few, and they have not been favored since the previous dynasty, and they never appear often.

After Emperor Yongjia came to the throne, the eldest princesses did not change their style, and they still lived in seclusion.

Therefore, when people talk about "princess" in court today, there is no doubt that they are referring to the extremely prosperous Princess Huarong.

Even though the rebellion was at an early stage, the world was in turmoil, and the records of the ministers flew to the cabinet like snowflakes, the emperor still tried his best to use grand etiquette to canonize his beloved daughter.

"This is my daughter. If you want to be extravagant, you can only be extravagant once. Can't you even satisfy me with this little request? My Chen'er has been living abroad for such a long time, and she came back after suffering so much. It's just the highlight of the canonization ceremony. ?”

The emperor, who is usually soft-tempered and easy to discuss, is extremely firm this time.

It is rare for the ministers to see the emperor turn his face, and what he said is also reasonable.

The emperor's children are really too few, even if he makes a fuss this time, it probably won't become a common practice.Just let the emperor have his way!

On the day when Princess Huarong was canonized, the gate of the palace was opened, the guards lined up, and a hundred officials came to court.

The civil and military ministers were all wearing the most formal court uniforms. Their clothes were neat and tidy, and their black official boots were spotless. Everyone had a solemn appearance and waited quietly in their respective court seats.

Numerous yellow gates and court ladies shuttled through the Hetai Hall one after another, and the complicated ceremonies were carried out in an orderly manner accompanied by brilliant music.

Amidst the long ringing of bells and music, the emperor in golden crown and yellow robe sat on the royal palace, surrounded by all the servants.

The officials of Honglu Temple served as envoys and deputy envoys. Although they had practiced many times before, they were still sweating from nervousness.

Everyone knows that the emperor attaches great importance to this canonization ceremony.Not to mention anything else, just talking about the process, the three versions sent by the Ministry of Rites have been ruthlessly thrown back, and they need to be improved, and they must be improved.Later, the officials of the Ministry of Rites "observed the holy will" and drew up the procedure according to the highest standard, which was finally passed.

It is said that it was Princess Huarong who persuaded the emperor not to spend too much for her, and the emperor reluctantly agreed to the cabinet's request to hold the ceremony as frugally as possible.

Well, you don't need to spend too much money, but it must be grand enough.How can you show grandeur without spending money?Then work hard on the procedures, try to be as troublesome as possible...

So on this day, the officials, servants, and maids who performed the ceremony were very tired, and the civil and military officials who came to watch the ceremony were even more tired.

It's not without complaints, and it's not the establishment of the prince!

Speaking of Prince Li, this matter has been mentioned, but not too many people echoed it.

Although everyone is very happy to see Prince Yao's safe return, it means that the emperor will not be an extinct one, and it is a strong guarantee for the rule of the dynasty!
However, is it not prudent enough to establish a crown prince now?
Yun Yao's identity is a big problem.

He was born of a side concubine, although he was the eldest of the children raised by the emperor - he had no younger siblings, but the word "di" suppressed him.

The new empress has only been in the palace for half a year, who can say that she will not have a son in the future?
Moreover, Yun Yao is only two years old.In this era of extremely poor medical conditions, children under the age of eight cannot be counted as being kept.

Even without considering the serious question of whether the child will be smart when he grows up and whether he can become a qualified prince, it is too early to make him a prince.

Emperor Yongjia himself had no intention of making Yunyao the crown prince, but his thoughts were different from those of the ministers.

His thinking is relatively simple, and he is more concerned about the fact that children should not be too much trouble, otherwise they will easily hurt their longevity.

Folk raising children often have to deliberately "raise cheaply", such as not wearing too good clothes and shoes for the children, giving the children nicknames such as dog egg, pig, badger slave, and so on.

Yun Yao was the son he had come to ask for with great difficulty, and it was after going through all kinds of hardships that he returned to him.He will strongly oppose any move that may harm the child.

Emperor Yongjia treated his children no differently from ordinary fathers, which seemed unusual to the royal family.

Since the emperor has no intention of establishing a prince, then everyone is not in a hurry.

As for Yun Ruochen, her canonization was a matter of course.

She was born of the emperor's first wife. Although the former concubine Liang died early, the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter, and she was named princess earlier.

Now it is a matter of course for the princess to be conferred. Everyone is just dissatisfied with the emperor's haste to confer the conferment and the grand arrangement.

However, when Yun Ruochen was finally proclaimed to the palace, all the whispers of dissatisfaction stopped abruptly the moment she appeared at the gate of the palace.

Bright as the stars, bright as the morning glow.

She came here in the bright sunshine at noon in late spring, wearing a beaded and emerald nine-zhai crown, a red shirt, a phoenix-patterned scarf, and a gold pendant. The colorful golden dragon patterns on the shirt are extremely dazzling.

Nine Zhai birds beaked with beads made of silver wire stand on the conical crown made of copper tires, which are lifelike.This nine-di crown alone is enough to show her extraordinary status.

But this extremely gorgeous crown dress did not conceal her own brilliance.

The glamorous make-up made her already perfect facial features even more outstanding, and those eyes that were so eager to look forward made everyone who met her eyes couldn't help but feel deep admiration from their hearts.

Princess Huarong, who is not yet 12 years old, already possesses the beauty of the world!

Most of the courtiers always thought that Princess Huarong was a little girl.But after this time, no one just treats her as a child anymore.

No wonder the emperor loved her so much!
Many people tried their best to recall the appearance of her deceased mother, but no one could recall the slightest memory.

After all, the emperor who was Prince Jing was not noticed at that time, and his concubine hardly showed her face in any social occasions.

But everyone agrees that the deceased former empress must be a peerless beauty, otherwise how could she give birth to such a beautiful daughter?
Everyone knows the emperor's appearance, it's not ugly, but it's far from the word "excellent".

Such a beautiful princess is so favored, maybe it would be nice to be her concubine!Someone started talking quietly.

The job of a son-in-law—just treat it as a job is not popular in this dynasty.

The consorts of the Qing Dynasty were not allowed to be officials, at most they took idle jobs in places like the clan mansion.Their task is to marry the princess, and then guard the princess and their salary for the rest of their lives.

So in the Qing Dynasty, as long as he was a son of a good family, he could be a son-in-law, and there was no restriction on his family status.That's it, many people don't want to be it.

"The emperor's daughter does not worry about marrying" was a joke in the Qing Dynasty.The princesses are not only worried about marrying, but also not ordinary worried about marrying.

If you meet an emperor who cares more about his daughter, you can still marry a good husband. Although it is impossible to be promising, you can still live in harmony as a husband and wife.

But many emperors didn't care at all whether their daughters married well or not. Some of them couldn't think of choosing a consort for their daughters until they passed the age of trial marriage.

For example, the first emperor Yuanqi was like this, and his daughters were all married off casually.

After the princess gets married, she lives in her own princess mansion. Those who are not favored don't even have many chances to enter the palace, which is much worse than those women from aristocratic families.

But there are exceptions to everything.

Given how much the emperor dotes on Princess Huarong, even if Princess Huarong gets married, it is estimated that she will not lose her holy family.

Someone is already planning to recommend the second, third, or concubine's son to the emperor.Princess Huarong became her own daughter-in-law, so she would definitely speak for her family.

Other princesses have no right to speak in front of the emperor, but this princess does!

Everyone has not forgotten her "brilliant deeds" in the past. This is the master who can please even the extremely difficult emperor!
It is said that when the emperor was still in Prince Jing's mansion, he liked to discuss many matters with his daughter.

Prince Jing's mansion was once headed by Princess Huarong, and those side concubines and aunts could only follow her instructions.

"The emperor is going to choose a son-in-law for Princess Huarong!"

When the imperial court was busy sending officials and troops to various places to deal with the aftermath, and was busy with the spring tax, the gossip about Princess Huarong's selection of a son-in-law also spread to the powerful families in the capital.

Even Gu Che, who was the least gossip, heard the news.

Are you kidding, the emperor chooses Ruochen's son-in-law?How old is she...

"My lord, what's so funny." It was his naughty servant Shitoer who sent him the news.

Shi Shi followed Gu Che to accompany Yun Ruochen to the Lantern Festival Night Market in the middle of the night, and he firmly believed that his young master was definitely interested in the princess - and it was true.

"I heard that the princess is about to be twelve years old. Many daughters start talking about kissing at the age of eleven or twelve. Think about it, it takes a year or two to say goodbye? It takes another year to prepare for the wedding. Two years?"

"In the past three or four years, the little girl has grown into a big girl. It's too late to say goodbye at the age of 12!"

"What?" Gu Che was really surprised, his understanding of this aspect was blank.

No way, who let him grow up in the army?

Even if he returned to the capital, his grandfather was the only elder in the family, not to mention his mother, and he didn't even have an aunt!
Who will tell him this?No wonder he didn't understand.

"Young Master, Shitou, let me say something more." Shitou approached Gu Che mysteriously, and whispered, "I know you like princesses, but I can't do it. Our master won't let you be a son-in-law."

To be a son-in-law is to become a son-in-law.Even if it is a marriage for the royal family, it is still a marriage!

Gu Che is the only child of the Gu family, and Gu Ge would not let him be his son-in-law if he was killed. He still counts on Gu Che to carry on the family line!

As for Gu Che himself, he never considered that if he was really with his favorite Ruochen, he would encounter all kinds of practical problems.

He just likes her, likes her very much, and likes being with her...

Gu Che suddenly thought of a question.

Zhao Xuan, it's impossible to be a son-in-law, right?
Then their competition... In the end, was it forced to end before it even started?
