Chapter 243 Sleeping Together (Add 36 for "Man 11")

...

apse.

The place where the women in the palace were held.

At first there were many people here.

Later, with Li Yan rewarding and the establishment of the Marriage Metropolitan Prison and the Widow's First Daughter Tuikao Prison, fewer and fewer women were imprisoned here.

So far, only the daughter of the royal family is left.

When it comes to the daughters of the royal family, people often think of their glamorous side and ignore what they have to bear.

Like some dynasties, after the death of the emperor, the childless concubines had to be buried—some of the concubines were only thirteen or fourteen.

Like some dynasties, after the death of the emperor, the concubines who did not help the emperor give birth to a son and a half daughter would be sent to the cold palace or forced to become a monk. When Wu Zetian was still a "Wu Cairen", he was sent to become a monk after Li Shimin died. nun.

Like in some dynasties, some unfavored concubines had to use their embroidery skills practiced in the boudoir to earn some money to make up for it. Many concubines even lived worse than palace maids and eunuchs.

Not to mention these, but to say that if they are unlucky and all of them are arrested when the royal city is broken, then their lives may be worse than death, just like Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's concubines at the time of Jingkang's shame.

Li Yan is already very civilized. Although he also rewarded many Goryeo women to the soldiers, Li Yan forced Liangshan soldiers to accept marriages and have a formal ceremony. Ten strings of dowry, and it is clearly ordered that Liangshan soldiers are not allowed to persecute Goryeo women, and relevant protection laws must be introduced-Li Yan's move is mainly for the sweaty and bloody Liangshan soldiers to get married, and the meaning of marriage is greater than rewards.

(The reward is a reward, but they can't touch it yet. They won't be able to see it until the war is over, or they have a rest. At this stage, the women they get can be sent to the place they designate, or they can be temporarily stored in the marriage prison. and widows and first daughters to test other prisons.)
Although Li Yan is already very civilized, for the daughters of the royal family who don't know anything, Li Yan and Liang Shanjun are still very terrifying existences, especially after seeing those court ladies being taken away one after another, they are all worried about them Will they be taken away by strangers one day?
Under such circumstances, many originally tense relationships have also been eased.

For example, Queen Jinghe Li, Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing.

Both Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing were born to Queen Shunde, the second daughter of Li Ziqian. Speaking of which, they are also the nieces of Li Jiaren and Li Jiaren's younger sister, and they can be regarded as half women of the Li family in Renzhou.

Li Ziqian originally wanted Li Jiaren or Li Jiaren's younger sister to inherit the position of Queen Shunde's concubine, so that the position of the concubine would still be in the Li family of Inju, but it was a pity that the person who finally succeeded the position of Queen Shunde's concubine was Li Shi.

Undoubtedly, the Li family and the Li family of Renzhou have become sworn enemies.

Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing are also half of the Li family in Renzhou, plus they are tired of Li's robbing their mother's position. The most important thing is that they have Li Ziqian backing them. In the end, Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing The relationship with Li Shi is very stiff.

But that was in the past.

Now we are all lambs waiting to be slaughtered, maybe one day we will have to be slept together by a man, and then we need to take care of each other.

In this case, what are you fighting for?

Besides, calm down and think about it carefully, Li Shi is not only the stepmother of Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing, but also the cousin of Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing, and she is not an outsider, so there is no need for everyone to be so stiff.

The relationship is quite complicated, and there is a difference in seniority, but the actual situation is that the Li family is actually about the same age as Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing. Among the three of them, the eldest is Princess Chengde, then the Li family, and then It's Princess Xingqing.

Three girls of similar age put aside their prejudices for a while, only to realize that they can actually be friends with each other.

The residence of Princess Chengde.

Mrs. Li and Princess Chengde are having fun playing a kind of ancient chess while Princess Xingqing is watching from the sidelines.

The chessboard of this kind of chess is to draw four squares with shallow lines and then draw diagonal lines and so on.

The way to play this kind of chess is to use one's own pieces to kill or eat the opponent's pieces, and finally eat all the opponent's pieces, it is considered a victory.

Seeing that the two sides are about to decide the outcome.

A refined voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is Princess Chengde here?"

Mrs. Li, Princess Chengde, and Princess Xingqing were all startled!
But soon Princess Chengde said: "I am here."

The outsider said again: "My minister, Jin Fushi, asks to see you."

Mrs. Li whispered: "It should be Baowen Pavilion waiting for control."

Princess Chengde nodded, and said, "Please come in."

After Jin Fushi came in, the three people from the Li family discovered that Jin Fushi was not the only one who came in, but also a person who was five or six points similar to Jin Fushi, that is, Jin Fuzhe.

Only then did Jin Fushi and Jin Fuzhe discover that Mrs. Li and Princess Xingqing were also there.

Jin Fushi paid homage to Mrs. Li and Princess Xingqing, and said: "I have seen the queen, I have seen Princess Xingqing." Then Jin Fushi introduced Jin Fuzhe to the three of the Li family and said, "This is Li Dadu's subordinate. .”

Jin Fuzhe nodded slightly at the three of Li.

Naturally, Jin Fuzhe couldn't miss a gift, but he couldn't do this ceremony. It was a question of which side to sit on, and it must not be wrong.

After introducing each other, Jin Fushi went directly to the topic and said: "The decree of the king Shangjun is given to marry Princess Chengde, Princess Xingqing, the queen of the Yin family of the palace, the queen of the Cui family of the official daughter of Pingzhou, and the governor of Li Yan."

After listening to Jin Fushi's edict from Wang Yu, the faces of the three of Li's family all changed, and Princess Xingqing couldn't help but confirm: "All four of us will marry Governor Li?"

Jin Fushi found a step for Wang Yu and said, "Your Majesty knows that you four sisters have deep feelings for each other, and he couldn't bear to separate you, so he married you all to Governor Li Dadu."

How could the daughter of the royal family, who has been exposed to politics since she was a child, fail to figure this out?
After thinking about it for a while, the three of Li Shi made a rough guess.

Mrs. Li asked, "Jin Aiqing, how is the situation outside?"

This is the key, the key to the fate of Goryeo, and it must not be sloppy. Therefore, Jin Fushi said: "My two princesses, as long as your four sisters can get the love of Li Dadu, the king will be able to negotiate peace with Li Dadu. , Li Dadu may withdraw his troops from Kaijing, and Koryo will gain peace."

This time, the three of the Li family understood completely, and they couldn't help sighing, for themselves, and for Gao Li!

But they didn't think about resisting. Nearly a hundred thousand men in armor were defeated. What's the point of their weak women's resistance?
Furthermore, Goryeo has always relied on women to solve things that men cannot solve. They actually had this mental preparation a long time ago.

Seeing that Princess Chengde and Princess Xingqing were still calm, Jin Fuzhe said, "It's best for the two princesses and the two lords to tidy up, and the governor of my family may come over in a while."

Mrs. Li couldn't help but said, "Isn't this unreasonable?"

After saying this, Mrs. Li regretted it. What kind of etiquette is there in this situation.

After all, he is from Korea, and Jin Fuzhe couldn't help reminding Li and the others: "The governor is meeting people. He was a little drunk before I came, and he said to come and see your four sisters. It may be a joke, but I think you'd better believe it. The original words of the governor are, "I'm going to inspect the goods in a while. It's not good-looking. I don't want it. I don't collect junk." It's best to pack up and dress up, because this will affect the fate of your father and Gao Li."
