Lucky Star Gao Zhao

Chapter 524 Like a Praying Mantis

Gao Zhao memorized what Jia Xibei said earlier and asked her to continue.

"Let me first say that the queen was born. The eldest princess is Princess Jingyang, the second is the fourth princess, and the title is Princess Yongyi, and the third is the crown prince. The youngest is the seventh princess, and the title is Fengyuan Princess. The Seventh Princess is 26 years old this year, but she has never been married, no one says it is useless, most of the time she lives in the Princess's other courtyard. I heard that she eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha, do you want to become a monk?"

Gao Zhao said: "Maybe you can see through the world, or you are too demanding and you don't like people."

The princess didn't have to worry about food and drink, and she would marry if she wanted to, but she wouldn't marry if she didn't want to, Gao Zhao murmured in his heart, not daring to speak out, his father kept telling him not to talk about royal affairs.

"The queen chose a son-in-law for Princess Fengyuan a few years ago. The princess just disappeared. In the past two years, the queen has given up. Let her go. Now the queen's thoughts are on the prince. Only the first princess has a title. The rest are ranked according to the ranking. , now only the youngest Princess Nine is not married, she is 16 years old this year, everyone in Beijing thought that Princess Nine would choose a consort in the imperial examination this year, because several princesses recruited consorts in this way, that is to say, they fell in love with each other, but this year After the imperial examination was over, there was no movement, so everyone guessed which mansion she was going to marry into. I have only met Princess Jiu a few times, and I am not familiar with her, because I always go out with my grandfather."

Gao Zhao bowed his head to record, thinking: You and Mr. Jia are looking for me everywhere.

"Let's talk about the prince. The prince ranks third. If there is no crown prince, he will be the third prince. The mother concubine of the first prince is Concubine Shu, and the mother concubine of the second prince and fourth prince is Wang Zhaoyi. I heard that Wang Zhaoyi was very beautiful back then, otherwise She will not give birth to two princes in succession, and she is the only concubine in the palace who has two princes, but she is only Zhaoyi. After becoming a prince, they are divided into beauties. Unfortunately, the fifth prince died of illness when he was five years old. Later, he was brought up by Concubine Zhuang. The sixth prince is sixteen this year. Not high, the sixth prince is only one year younger than him, and the concubine mother is the favored concubine Ning, and her parents are from a wealthy family in Xichang Prefecture. I think it is better to marry the fifth prince than the sixth prince, and the sixth prince is the second in middle school. San Lang Zhong Er, he is just a little weird, the sixth prince is arrogant, but he has a beloved mother and is a little prince, so others have to bear with it."

Good memory of Gao Zhao, beside the note: Stupid second.

"Aunt Zhao, remember first, my aunt will bring you into the palace to recognize your relatives. Don't be afraid, the prince and princess have to call you cousin, hehe, no one dares to embarrass you."

Gao Zhao thought to himself: Luckily, the seniors are senior, otherwise I would have to suffer if anyone disliked me and taught me a lesson, now, haha!I'm the only one who gives others embarrassment, of course I'm not that stupid.

Gao Zhao memorized everything and waited for Jia Xibei to continue.

"Now in the palace, Concubine Ning, the concubine of the sixth prince, and the concubine of the ninth princess are the most favored. If you want to say that she is good-looking, she is the empress and concubine. I have seen it once, and it is really written in the script: shameful flower The appearance of the closed moon, but my great aunt said that no one is as good-looking as the fifth prince and his mother, so the fifth prince looks the best among the princes. It looks ugly and looks like a praying mantis. My grandfather said this, and when I got angry, I said to withdraw from the marriage, and my grandfather said that the mantis is good and powerful, and those two big knives are wielding so vigorously!"

This Mr. Jia, his words are too funny, and he has such a unique way of describing people. Gao Zhao suppressed his laughter and didn't laugh out loud, otherwise Jia Xibei would be angry.

"How many children does the prince have?" Gao Zhao asked.

Jia Xibei now had a gossip look on his face, and Gao Zhao knew that the prince had a story to tell.

"If you want to talk about the prince, you have to say the princess. The princess's surname is Yu, which is an old surname. The prince didn't grow up in Beijing. That year, the prince wanted to choose a concubine. The people in Beijing were nervous. Which mansion doesn't want to have a prince?" Concubine? She will be the queen in the future. There is a Cao family in Beijing, a noble family, that is, a down-and-out family. The concubine is a relative of the Cao family. I fell in love with it and was chosen as the crown princess. Now she has three sons and one daughter. The crown prince also has two concubine sons and one concubine daughter. By the way, the cousin of Mrs. Xue who always quarreled with me is the prince Liangdi. She is pregnant with five children this year. Yue, Xue's family is very troubled now, what's the big deal, it's a concubine, hum!"

Gao Zhao came here and discovered that there is a clear boundary between concubine and concubine, and no favored concubine can be mixed in the concubine's circle. Of course, she has limited knowledge, and she didn't know a few people when she came to Beijing, only Yan Qin, who was also the original concubine's daughter.

After Jia Xibei finished speaking, he felt bad, because it was the Prince's Mansion, and the royal family was particular about concubines, but even royal concubines had a higher status than ordinary families. Lord Qing and Duke Wu were considered as concubines by ordinary families, but originally The only prince in the court who dares to say that you are a concubine? Don't show off in front of me?
As for the fifth prince, the Jia family didn't dare to bring out their concubine's daughter for marriage, right?

In ordinary families, there are almost no bastards who inherit the title, and the eldest son is even less likely to be a bastard, but the royal family is different. Some princes are from concubines, and some emperors are from concubines. Therefore, as long as the position is a prince, he will be moved.I always wonder why I can't sit?
Gao Zhao's mind is full of various palace dramas being staged in the palace, hey~, I have goosebumps all over my body, I will stay away from right and wrong in the future, and stay away from the palace for nothing, even though I have a high seniority, the most important thing is to save my life.

"I'll talk about the other big mansions in Beijing later. I don't know who to talk about. There are too many. By the way, will Aunt Zhao go to watch the lanterns on August [-]?"

Speaking of this, Gao Zhao remembered that his brother was burned on the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and he didn't know that his brother would not go out this year.

After Jia Xibei finished speaking, she also thought of this matter. She curled her lips and stopped asking. Before Gao Zhao could answer, she continued, "Is Qiaoyun still playing with the little lady from the Tao family? I heard that her aunt got married in August." , it seems to be August 25th, and the Tao family lady has never shown her face in Beijing, and many people are waiting to see what happens after they get married."

Qiaoyun and Tao Qianxi are still dating, but Qiaoyun never said anything, unlike Gao Zhao who went out with someone, ate and played outside, and would always babble and learn when he came back.

"Sister Coral is also getting married in August, right? When you return to Wucheng County? You have to go back and bring back my make-up gift. Congratulate her for me, and the one given by Xiaowanzi has already been handed over to me."

Gao Zhao wondered why she didn't bring the little girl with her today. Jia Xibei said that her aunt was sick and she had to take care of her aunt at home.

Yu's house and Jia's house were close, so they went for a visit whenever they had nothing to do.
