The daily life of young girls in ancient times

Chapter 66

Without the commotion of the second bedroom, the Rong family seemed more peaceful. The girls went to class all day long, and because the old lady was sick in bed, it was not easy for them to go out to socialize. Just as Baozhu wanted, she was also impatient to go out to attend some banquets.I study with my sisters every day, and read travel notes, historical records and so on in my free time.

A few days later, during the break between classes, Haizhu suddenly said mysteriously, "Baozhu, have you heard of Princess Gaoyang? It is said that Princess Gaoyang will return to Beijing at the end of the year. Do you want to go see it together?"

Princess Gaoyang, Baozhu had heard a little about it in her previous life. Princess Gaoyang's name was Chuyu, and she was born of the daughter of the late emperor's elder brother.

Back then, the late emperor and his elder brother raised their troops to attack the faint emperor. If his elder brother had blocked the sword for the late emperor, the late emperor might have disappeared long ago.Therefore, the first emperor respected his elder brother very much. The elder brother had several sons, but there was only one eldest daughter, who was also the child his elder brother cared about most. The sons were also crowned kings.

After the death of the first emperor, the emperor ascended the throne, and Princess Fushou naturally became Princess Fushouchang. Princess Fushouchang was much older than the emperor, married in a remote northwest place, and gave birth to two sons to have such a daughter. , when he brought her into the palace to meet the late emperor, the late emperor immediately canonized Chu Yu as Princess Gaoyang.It stands to reason that Gao Yang should not be named a princess, but in fact he might not even be a princess.But Emperor Xian really felt that Chu Yu was very similar to his deceased brother, so he made an exception and named her Princess Gaoyang.

Princess Gaoyang is also the most beloved youngest daughter of Princess Fushouchang. It is said that she lived a happy life in the northwest.

Princess Gaoyang is only eleven or twelve years old now, a few months older than Princess Chang'an, and she calls the prince and Princess Chang'an cousins.

The emperor and the king of Shu are Gao Yang's uncles.

Moreover, Princess Gaoyang has a very aggressive temper, and she has a golden whip bestowed by the late emperor, which can be regarded as a dominance in the northwest, and others dare not provoke her easily.

Baozhu had heard a little about her deeds in her previous life, and she was very curious about such a pungent princess.Speaking of which, even though they haven't met yet, Princess Chang'an and Princess Gaoyang, Baozhu thinks that Princess Gaoyang is better, because Baozhu likes open-minded people, and doesn't like people like Chang'an who like to pretend.

Baozhu thought that it was almost the end of the year, and she probably didn't have much homework, and after being bored in the mansion for a long time, she naturally wanted to go out for a stroll, so she nodded and said, "Then I will go with my sister."

After hearing this, the other sisters came over and asked a few words, and when they learned that it was Princess Gao Yang who was going to Beijing, they also expressed their desire to visit.

After all, Rong Qingmei and Rong Qiukui were still a bit restrained, they didn't dare to talk to each other, Baozhu turned her head and smiled at them, "Sister Qingmei, sister Qiukui, let's go together then."

The two looked at Baozhu gratefully, nodded, and said with a smile, "I will trouble sister Baozhu then."

Rong Yanzhu lay listlessly on the table, obviously not interested in such things.It was Rong Qiukui who looked at her like this and said with a smile, "Sister Yanzhu, do you want to go together then?"

Rong Yanzhu made a listless reply, which was considered to be her agreement.

When the new year is approaching, the homework in the mansion will stop, and the New Year's affairs have nothing to do with these children. Only the elders are allowed to take care of it, and they only have to play.

Soon it will be the day when Princess Gaoyang will come to Beijing. The girls and men are planning to go out for a stroll. The two young daughter-in-laws are both pregnant, one month old and one less than three months old, so they are not suitable for traveling , also did not go.

The girls alone built two carriages, the eldest brother Rong Yu wanted to stay at home with his wife, the second brother Rong Ke couldn't get along with everyone, and Rong Zhongshi wanted to stay and study without going. A carriage is enough.

Several carriages of the Rong family drove out of the Rong mansion one by one.

Princess Fushou and Princess Gaoyang must have taken the most spacious Jing'an Road in the capital to enter the palace, and the carriage went straight to Jing'an Road.The men of the Rong family didn't want to see any princesses, so they told the girls and drove the carriage to another place.

Because the people in the capital have known for a long time that Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gaoyang are coming to the capital today, Jing'an Road is now crowded, and the Rong family's carriage did not dare to go too far ahead, for fear of rubbing against someone, it only stopped at the entrance of an alley .

A few girls sat in the carriage, and each opened a corner of the curtain to look over.Before Princess Gao Yang came in, the girls could only hear the noisy discussion not far away.

"I heard that Princess Fushouchang dotes on Princess Gaoyang very much, and that Princess Gaoyang raised by her is arrogant and domineering. When she was in the northwest, she hurt many people. I heard that even her own father was scolded by her. "

"No way, this is too stupid, even if you are a princess, how can you scold your own father, this is simply unfilial!"

"This is going to be struck by lightning."

"No, but I seem to have heard that the son-in-law of the eldest princess is a jerk. Apart from Princess Fushou, she actually has other concubines. It seems that she even has children. I heard that this son-in-law is a down-and-out family in the northwest. He is very poor, somehow Princess Fushou fell in love with him, and the two had a loving life after they got married. Later, the son-in-law thought that the princess was not considerate enough, so he got a concubine. Speaking of which, he is also a bastard, you eat others , drink yours, and think that he is not considerate enough, why didn't you say it when you married him. Princess Gao Yang probably hates this father very much."

Someone whispered, "Then you shouldn't scold your father."

"Who says it's not..."

The sound gradually died down, because in the distance, several very gorgeous carriages and teams of guards came over. The first ones were two tall horses, with two imposing men sitting on them.

Everyone became excited again, "The first two should be the sons of Princess Fushou, and I heard that they have also been crowned as county kings. And the carriage is so gorgeous, look at the gemstones on it, they are not afraid of being dug up go."

Someone sneered, "Stupid, who would dare to dig that thing? You're not afraid of being whipped up by Princess Gao Yang."

Everyone laughed softly.

Baozhu also showed a smile, and felt relieved to come out and listen to these gossips.He looked at the two men at the front of the carriage again. They were indeed the sons of Princess Fushouchang, and they looked about 20 years old.

Speaking of which, although Princess Fushouchang and the emperor are cousins, Princess Fushou is eleven or twelve years older than the emperor, and these two sons are only a few years younger than the emperor's uncle.

Baozhu looked at the two imposing men, and thought of the honorable status of Princess Fushouchang, but the son-in-law is still like this, it is really difficult for every family to recite.

Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gaoyang stayed in the carriage, and outsiders couldn't see their appearance, so they all sighed regretfully.

Haizhu also said regretfully, "I thought people in the Northwest were more open. The princess should be in an open car. How could she know that she is no different from us, so you can't see anything."

Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gao Yang visited the capital once when they were young, and Gao Yang was only two or three years old at that time, so the girls of the Rong family naturally didn't know each other or remember.

Baozhu laughed and said, "Since Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gaoyang have both entered the capital, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager and the Empress will invite the female family members of the capital to enter the palace for a banquet. Just wait, I will definitely be able to enter the palace in a few days. Soon you will know the true face of the princess."

Haizhu said with a smile, "That's true, why don't we go for a stroll ahead."

The female family members of the Rong family only took a carriage ride around the capital and then went back to the Rong Mansion.

Sure enough, the palace posted a message to the Rong family's family members, saying that Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gao Yang had only returned to Beijing once in these years, and they wanted to hold a banquet for the honorable women's family members in the capital.

It was a banquet three days later, and it was only two or three days before Chinese New Year.

That day, Baozhu asked Biyu to choose a suit of well-regulated clothes. Even so, it still made people unable to take their eyes off Baozhu. Biyu praised, "We girls are human beings who wear clothes, no matter what clothes we wear, we can't hide the girl's beauty." appearance."

Baozhu guessed the queen mother's intentions, so she knew that her appearance would definitely not let the queen mother tell her to the king of Shu on purpose, and she didn't intend to hide her appearance.

Putting on another brocade fur cloak, he went out.

Today is a palace banquet, Qingmei and Qiukui are naturally not allowed to go, only the female family members of the Rong family can go, and now Di Shi is no longer the Duke's wife, so naturally Wei Shi took them there.

After entering the palace, Wei took the girls to meet the Empress Dowager, Empress and Concubine De, and then the little maid led them to sit down in their respective seats.Because it is a palace banquet, it must be different from the Rong family's family banquet. Each female family member has a small table in front of them, with drinks and snacks on it.Behind the case was a dark purple embroidered futon, and the female relatives knelt and sat down one by one.

The Empress Dowager naturally sat at the head, with Princess Fushouchang and the Queen on the left and right, followed by Concubine De and the two princesses.

From a distance, Baozhu could only see that Princess Fushouchang was about 30 years old, well dressed, her face looked well maintained, fair and plump, with a kind smile on her face.

Eldest Princess Gaoyang wore a plain blue gold thread-stitched jacket, a silver pattern embroidered butterfly skirt, and a red cloak. The combination of blue and red didn't feel vulgar, but With a playful and lively.And this Princess Gaoyang is also very good looking, with vivid eyebrows and smiling faces, she is talking to Princess Fushouchang.

Although Baozhu was sitting far away, her ears were very good. She heard Princess Gaoyang say, "Mother, these girls are so beautiful, they are not like the girls in the northwest, they are three big and five rough."

Pfft, Bao Zhu couldn't help laughing, thinking that Princess Gao Yang was also an interesting person.

The Empress Dowager said a few words, and introduced Princess Fushouchang and Princess Gaoyang to these female relatives, which made people juggle. Usually, there are dances and banquets in the palace. It seems that this is to cater to Princess Gaoyang. Invited jugglers.

They are all ladies, who has ever watched such a show on the street, they all watched it intently, and after the juggling and singing and dancing, everyone is almost done eating and drinking.

The queen mother said that the wintersweet garden is in full bloom, and tables and chairs have been set up there for the female relatives to move to the wintersweet garden to enjoy the flowers and have fun.
