Princess of the auxiliary country

What kind of virtue does a prince have? Who among the powerful people in the capital today knows?

The Dong family is a Confucian family with a long history, although its power is far less than that of today's noble families.

However, their ancestors were great sages who changed Confucianism. Although the family was not powerful enough, their status in the officialdom was such that even the gentry had to give them face.

However, despite their somewhat superior status, the Dong family has always been small in number and does not like fighting. They only want to study and educate people according to the wishes of their ancestors.

It can be said that the Dong family are very pure scholars.

Compared with those people who pretend to be scholars and only strive for power and wealth, they are much more pure.

"Hey, why don't I know that this is inappropriate?"

"But the Dong family is no longer what it used to be. The emperor has made his attitude clear by directly issuing the decree this time. What's the use of saying it?"

Emperor Zhaowu had summoned him to the palace yesterday and told him about this matter, but he had already shied away from it in every possible way.

But the emperor's attitude was very firm, and the emperor's purpose in choosing his Dong Wenjin was also to hope that Dong Wenjin could help correct the prince's character.

He also spoke earnestly and thoughtfully about the difficulty of establishing the Yu Dynasty, and also told him about the events in the last years of the previous dynasty.

Anyway, the meaning behind the words is that I hope Dong Wenjin can assist the prince and make him a suitable prince, and not let the Yu Dynasty fall into turmoil in the future.

What he said was so upright and awe-inspiring, and he was also a person who came from the last years of the previous dynasty, so he knew the darkness of that period.

The Yu Dynasty was indeed much better than it was, and the current Emperor Zhaowu is another promising king.

He really didn't know how to refuse.

When the woman opposite heard this, she didn't know what to say.

How can the imperial edict be disobeyed casually?

Not to mention the current Dong family, even in the ancestor's time, the ancestor could only obey the imperial decree.

"But."

The woman really didn't want to talk anymore, but she heard a gentle female voice coming from the door.

"Grandma, you don't have to worry about me. I agree to the marriage."

The person coming was none other than Dong Wenjin.

The two people in the hall quickly turned to look at the door. Today, Dong Wenjin was wearing a plain dress, with delicate features and a very peaceful and gentle temperament.

There was a slight smile on her lips as she spoke, and one could tell at a glance that she was a girl with a very good personality.

"Wen Jin."

Guilt appeared on Mr. Dong's face.

"Grandpa, I know that you are in trouble. Wen Jin does not blame you. On the contrary, I think it is a blessing for your granddaughter that the emperor values ​​your granddaughter so much."

Mr. Dong had already told her the matter yesterday, and he did not hide anything about Emperor Zhaowu's remarks.

To be honest, Dong Wenjin didn't like the prince, and even said he was a little unhappy. After all, such behavior really made people unfavorable.

But do they have a choice?

The emperor spoke in person and spoke like this, which gave them enough face. If they were unwilling, they would not give them face. I am afraid that the Dong family's life would not be easy in the future.

Although her family has a small population, there are still several men of her father's generation and hers who work in the court, and the lifeblood of the whole family is in their hands.

Besides, the emperor would be so anxious to grant a marriage, and the purpose is obvious. The prince's wedding date has been set. If this is not done, wouldn't the royal family become a joke?

Then the Dong family will be in even more trouble.

She thought about it for a long time last night and agreed. Although she would feel aggrieved, it would bring many benefits to the family. Some people may think that she is not worthy of this, but in this ancient society, the status of women is not high. She is lucky enough to be born into the Dong family, which is a gift from God. At least from birth to now, the Dong family has been very good to her. .

Rather than being threatened by others in the future, it is better to take this step with humiliation and take this opportunity to protect the rest of the Dong family in the future.

I have to say that this is also a kind of sadness, but she has no choice. Not all women are like her idol Princess Zhaode.

The two old men were very sad, and they looked at their granddaughter with even more guilt.

"Time is running out, the old lady should hurry up and prepare a dowry for Wen Jin."

The old woman didn't say anything, she just answered and went to work.

The news that Dong Wenjin was given a marriage and was about to become the new crown princess spread quickly in the capital.

Many people felt pity for her, while others felt that she had become a phoenix by flying on a branch.

Although the Dong family is quite famous in the official circles, they are still a bit inferior and not strong enough. Therefore, even if many people respect them, they will give them face, but deep down they don't take them seriously.

After all, everyone is realistic, right?

"Why did you choose sister Wen Jin? This"

As soon as Princess Qingyang heard the news, she exclaimed and quickly asked her servants to deliver the post.

She has a pretty good relationship with Dong Wenjin. Because she is older than Dong Wenjin, Dong Wenjin always calls him sister.

How could Princess Qingyang not be surprised when she suddenly heard the news?

The prince is not a good thing, how can he be worthy of her sister Wen Jin?

Not long after, Princess Qingyang arrived at Dong's house. As soon as she saw Dong Wenjin, she immediately asked whether the matter was true or false.

When she learned that the matter was true, she pulled Dong Wenjin and walked out.

"That prince is not a good person. Isn't this pushing you into a pit of fire? Come with me, I will take you to see my mother and let her come into the palace to help you."

"Sister Qingyang, I agree to this."

Dong Wenjin grabbed Princess Qingyang, but as soon as she finished speaking, Qingyang continued: "Agreed? Haven't you always disliked that guy? How could you agree? It must be for the sake of the family, right?"

"How can you wrong yourself because of this? This is a matter related to your lifelong happiness."

However, Dong Wenjin shook his head and said, "Of course I know this, but the imperial edict has been issued, so what if I don't agree? Even if His Royal Highness Princess Ningyang is willing to help, can the emperor agree?"

"Isn't it so easy to retract the imperial edict?"

This is true. Although the eldest princess Ningyang has a lot of energy, she is still a little short of rejecting the imperial edict.

Especially in today's market, because of the prince's incident, the majesty of the royal family has been wiped out. If the imperial edict is withdrawn at this time, what will happen to the royal family?

Emperor Zhaowu would definitely not agree.

"Then let's go find Yaoyao. If she comes forward, there may be a chance."

Upon hearing that he was going to find Princess Zhaode, Dong Wenjin's eyes lit up slightly, but soon became gloomy.

Although she also felt that Princess Zhaode would most likely be able to find a solution, but what would happen after doing so? That would definitely arouse the emperor's displeasure. It was not what she wanted to do for her own sake and to injure others.

"Sister Qingyang, forget it, the matter is already as it is, there is no need to trouble Princess Zhaode."

"Actually, I think this is good. You and I have known each other since we were young. You know very well the situation of my Dong family. The Dong family needs this seat."
