Chapter 148 Princess Joan

Princessian's maiden name is Jingnian. She is a little vague in the memory of the princesses below Changyang. When she married into the royal family, Emperor Xianzong's illness was already very serious, so Li Yan, the favorite concubine of Emperor Xianzong's wedding was very hasty. In this regard, Emperor Xianzong hopes to see it before her death. King Qiong got married, but on the other hand, he was not happy.

Tao Jingnian was able to be elected as Princess Qiong at the beginning because her father Tao Zhe was born in the reign of Emperor Huaizong. He was once an official of the emperor, and her mother was Du.

At the time of Emperor Xianzong, Du Qingtang's power was more powerful than Wei Zuo today, and Tao Zhe's future also relied on Du Qingtang's promotion. Although Fengchun had been appointed as the crown prince at that time, Fengchun's pressure can be imagined because of Tao Jingnian's mother and Du Qingtang's family, and Emperor Xianzong's repeated public praise of Qiong Wang Congying and "Xiao Zhen".

Therefore, after the death of Emperor Xianzong, King Qiong listened to Du Qingtang's advice and asked him to go to the south to protect himself.

Tao Jingnian wears a light crimson begonia red embroidered bird-patterned summer shirt. She wears a bun on her head and inserts five beads in the middle, highlighting a red-blooded coral bead the size of a thumb in the center. She is a folk-called duck egg face, tracing willow eyebrows, a charming flower slave, and her cheeks are as red as fire. It is the most intense wine halo makeup in the red makeup. The forehead is yellow powder, and the eyebrows are green. When she smiles, the dimples are extremely deep, symmetrically close to the flowers. A long brocade satin embroidered with flowers and colorful butterflies is wrapped around her arm. When she walks, she looks extremely generous and graceful.

Among the people who have arrived in the Penglai Hall, not to mention the princesses, among the queen concubines, Prince's Day and Wei Huiduan... Except for Zhao Fangyi and Qin and Cao, they are all from famous families. The sons of Emperor Xianzong have almost all married princesses from good backgrounds, but this Tao Jingnian's father's family is originally poor, but Because the article was well done and the person was young, he married a Wid wife of the Du family. Later, Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne and Du Qingtang was in power, so he became successful, and even his daughter had the opportunity to marry into the royal family. Therefore, when Tao Jingnian got married, Prince's Day deliberately looked at her a few times. At that time, Tao Jingnian behaved moderately, and now after a few years, he is much more generous.

After Tao Jingnian entered the Penglai Hall, although his smile was dignified and solemn, his eyes quickly glanced at the people waiting in the hall.

In the middle of the phoenix seat, it is naturally the Queen Wang, who wears fine clothes and deserves a lot of accessories. The Prince's Day is so grand that it can be said to give her face, but on the other hand, she doesn't want to give her a mawei?

At the beginning, Emperor Xianzong actually hesitated between the five sons and the sixth sons for a period of time. Both Wang and Tao knew this. The former won, and now the mother of the world is the Wang family. If Emperor Xianzong later changed his mind and abolished Fengchun to establish King Qiong, now he sits on it with just the right grace. You are the one who is waiting for others to come to worship, right?

Tao's mood is not complicated, but she also knew that this must not be revealed, so her eyes only touched Wang's gently, and even before she could see whether Wang's expression had changed, she quickly moved down. Wang's left head was full of princesses. At this time, she respected the left. Originally, Wei Huiduan was the right product. One of the three ladies, connobled Hua, and Fengchun are the brothers of the unfalling princesses. It should be that the concubines are on the left and the princesses are on the right. However, although Princess Jiacheng refuses to come over, the next Princess Changyang will fall. At this time, she is in the limelight. Concubine Wei and others took the initiative to give in and insist on asking the princesses to live. Left, I am willing to retreat to the right.

So at this moment, the first left of Wang is Changyang with makeup, followed by Dongping, Yuanxiu, Yunzhou, Liyang, and finally Xu Wang. On the right are Wei Huafei, Cui Fangyi, Lu Fangyi, Zheng Meiren, followed by Cao, Qin and Pei. Zhao Fangyi was still in bed because of a minor birth and did not come. Feng Chun's three sons were not here, but they were taken to Zichen Hall to see King Qiong first.

Tao was led to the lower level, and his smile was a little warm. Yingying was about to bow down to salute Wang. There was a slight smile in the prince's eyes on the phoenix seat, but he quickly straightened up and raised his hand and said affectionately, "Six brothers and sisters, you have arrived. Just now, I was still thinking about whether it can be so far away from King Qiong's fiefdom before the sixth sister's birthday. To Chang'an!"

She said something close. How could she not hear the irony in it? She insisted on bowing herself, saluted, and presented several pairs of tortoises, a pair of purple jade hairpins and a set of red gold nodded to Wang. Then she smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern. The king has long been worried about the matter of being the sixth sister. It was last year. With your majesty's consent, it's time to start - the queen is worried about too many things, but she forgot?

"If I had returned to Chang'an earlier, I would have been really not busy." Wang smiled and said, "This is so far away, what else do you want to bring these things for me? I'm just thinking about you, but not your things - you also met your sisters once when you married King Qiong, and now you have recognized them all first. Looking at Wei Huafei, Huafei and others shook their fans and smiled and said, "My concubines are not in a hurry. Princess Qiong should recognize the princesses first."

Li Yan, the king of Qiong, ranked sixth among the princes, but he is the brother of the sixth princess Jiacheng. Therefore, several princesses in the hall today have to salute Princess Qiong. Changyang took the lead in standing up and called him the sixth sister-in-law. After the ceremony, Tao naturally prepared gifts, but Princess Changyang and others also sent them back.

At this time, it was Wei's turn and others. Although Princess Qiong's grade was higher than that of beauty, Huafei and Fangyi still asked her to see the ceremony. Zhao Fangyi was not there, but Tao did not miss her. Empress Wang ordered Lu Fangyi, who lived closest to Chengxiang Hall, to take the gift on behalf of Zhao and went back to Chengxiang Hall to her. After such a ceremony, even if an ice basin was placed on the hall, Tao's forehead could not help but sweat.

Wang hurriedly greeted her to sit down, but referred to the seat of Princess Jiacheng. Although Princess Jiacheng did not come, Princess Changyang retreated before sitting down in order to show her respect for her sister. In doing so, the princesses below were like Dongping, so this seat was empty. Of.

Tao really doesn't remember the appearance of these princesses, but the princesses reported their own names when they saluteed her. Not long after she married King Qiong, she left Chang'an. She only heard a few words about her husband's sister's temperament. At this moment, as soon as she sat down, she was slightly surprised.

Wang naturally noticed it, sighed and said in embarrassment, "It's also unfortunate. It's not that the sixth sister is not going to come here today, but since the beginning of the year, she has been going to the Sanqing Hall every day to serve incense. A few days ago, the heat was a little heavier. Maybe the ice in the hall was more, so she coughed a little. Thinking about it, her birthday is in front of her, which is impossible to get sick, so that people can call the sixth sister to have a good rest... The sixth brother and sister look at the palace, don't blame the sixth sister for this unwelcome crime!"

"The queen laughed." Naturally, Dow knew that the so-called cough was an excuse. She was a little annoyed that the sister-in-law didn't understand etiquette. Her husband and wife rushed back thousands of miles away for her birthday. Now that everyone else has arrived, and she alone won't come... She can read King Qiong's face and not care about her, but she can also imagine her in this way. What she has done in the palace over the years, thinking that before entering the palace, King Qiong also specifically told her to persuade Princess Jiacheng to change her mind as much as possible. Tao complained. Now that she hasn't met yet, she can speculate that this sister-in-law is definitely not a good talker. How can she persuade her? What else to advise?

But no matter how difficult it is, Wang's words still have to be answered. Tao settled down and said with a smile, "The sixth sister's body is the most important thing. As for whether to welcome her or not, they are all a family. How can they be so common? Speaking of which, isn't my concubine, the sixth sister-in-law? If I had known that she was ill, I should have entered the palace earlier - the queen would have allowed me to visit the sixth sister now?"

"Don't worry. Geng Jingzhai has prescribed medicine for Liumei. Now he thinks he is drinking and falling asleep. It's just right to say goodbye here in this palace and have lunch. It's just right to go there." Wang's kind way.

Tao didn't want to spend much time with her, but now was not the time when Emperor Xianzong was there. At that time, both of them were emperor's daughter-in-law. Of course, Wang was the crown princess, but because of Emperor Xianzong's favor with King Qiong, she had to be more and more cautious to protect herself, so as not to be caught by the East Palace and even dressed plain clothes. , they are also cautiously picking the most ordinary style, for fear of being fashionable or spending a little, and being taken by the person who favored Emperor Xianzong to sue the East Palace for luxury.

At that time, although Emperor Xianzong's envoy's aunt Princess Hui presided over the harem, because of this, Princess Hui did not dare to favor the East Palace. I'm afraid only she and the Tao knew how careful the princess of Prince's Day was. Now that the king and minister have been separated, Wang has issued a speech, but Tao has to listen to it. He also has to smile and show his sincere honor. He answered with a smile, "My concubine stays here to disturb the queen."

"It's all my sibling. It's boring in summer. Looking at this empty temple, I feel panicked. It's better for more people to talk lively." Wang Shiyou said that the princesses are fine. Concubine Hua's face has changed a little except for Cao Cairen. Wang's words are obvious. Although she knows that she is going to bring the topic to Princess Jiacheng, it may not matter if there is no love in this palace. There are no children. No matter how beautiful the palace is, why don't you feel empty? What about it?

A trace of unnaturalness also flashed in Tao's eyes. She has been married to King Qiong for several years. The filial piety of Emperor Xianzong has passed, but the two have no children so far, and there is only one daughter who served as a concubine. Now they have Xianzong's filial piety. But if there is no news at the end of the year, it is necessary to release a few beauties for King Qiong for the sake of his virtuous name. Around... She bit her lower lip gently, because she was not from the so-called famous family. At the beginning, she was a little restrained in front of the Wang family from the Wang family in Taiyuan and the family. Not to mention the heart of the Prince's Day, the natural manner and temperament of the children of the Wang clan raised by the family for a long time were not her mother. Pro-Du's teaching can be possessed.

After all, she has Du's blood, but her surname is Tao.

However, at that time, like others, she had hidden expectations and hopes for King Qiong, so she had to maintain the princess's demeanor in front of Prince's Day, and did not imitate some of Prince's Day's behaviors in private. She caught a glimpse of Wei Huafei and others. The five newlyweds entered the palace not long ago. It was said that it was presided over by Wang Shi. There were already three highnesses in the palace. Wang still spared no effort to recruit people to open up branches and leaves for the royal family... That's how the so-called virtuous name probably came from, right?

As soon as Tao was so distracted, he didn't answer the words. The prince's program flashed and looked at Wei Huiduan quietly. Wei Huafei was clear her throat and said, "Speaking of which, it's a coincidence that King Qiong and the princess came back--

Cui Fangyi under her covered her mouth with a fan and smiled gently: "My concubine saw that everything the princess gave to Princess Changyang was double."

"My concubine still sighed with the king on the way. Thinking that when she just came out of the cabinet, the seventh sister and the eighth sister were only drooping, and the ninth sister and tenth sister were even smaller. At that time, the eleventh sister and the tenth brother still had to be held by the wet nurse." Tao finally recovered and quickly continued with Cui Fangyi's words.

"The wedding date of the seventh sister is not long after the sixth sister's birthday." Because Princess Changyang was the person they were talking about, she picked up the tooth handle and fan half covered her face. Seeing the situation, Princess Dongping smiled and said, "The sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law came back just in time."

When Tao heard this, she couldn't help thinking of something and sat down and asked, "I don't know when the third brother and third sister-in-law will arrive?"

On the birthday of Princess Jiacheng, King Qiong was her brother, and because Princess Jiacheng insisted on being a monk, he could ask for an order to come back. Similarly, Duke Changyang mainly declined, but his brother King Qi was also determined to come back to watch the ceremony and marry him. The fiefdom of the King of Qi is far less than that of King Qiong. He should have arrived a long time ago. Tao entered Chang'an yesterday, but he didn't hear about it. He was a little surprised at this moment.

"The King of Qi has some delays in the fiefdom, and it won't arrive until about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Wang answered quickly and looked very naturally, but Tao still heard a little strange. She and Qiong Wang and his party only entered the city when the gate was about to close yesterday. The journey was tiring. They hurriedly fell asleep before carefully questioning the recent events in Chang'an. Today, they got up early and put on makeup and went to the palace to see each other, but they still didn't know Ren Qiu's case.

When he heard that there was a reason, Tao immediately stopped mentioning it and turned to the business: "Speaking of which, the seventh sister is going to decline, but it reminds my concubine of the sixth sister..."
