Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

Sun was referring to the Fan family, which was engaged in maritime trade. They were a maritime trade family that owned a fleet of well-equipped ships.

His knowledge and wealth are much greater than many powerful people in the Chu State.

According to the previous colleague's investigation.

The Fan family has their own islands overseas, and not just one, so they can be described as rich enough to rival a country.

If their ancestral home was not in Da Chu, the Fan family could have established a new country overseas.

However, the Fan family is relatively low-key.

The people of Da Chu, even the royal family, are not aware of this matter.

This is a feudal civilization based on agriculture, and business is considered a lowly occupation.

An Wu was not a real ancient person, so she naturally understood the importance of commerce, especially maritime trade.

Say.

The Wuyang Marquis's Mansion only has an empty title.

The men, young and old, are not productive and love to spend money.

If it weren't for the daughter-in-law he married, the dowry would be generous. The two daughters-in-law each had several shops as dowry.

Relying solely on the rent from the An family's ancestral property, the whole family, young and old, would have starved to death long ago!

If you marry into the Fan family.

As long as you can get involved in maritime trade, wealth will naturally come without a problem.

An Wu knew clearly that the Fan family wanted to form an alliance with the An family, not to marry into the Bo family.

To tell the truth.

The Wuyang Marquis' Mansion is just a new noble with very little foundation. With the wealth and power of the Fan family, if they want to curry favor with the powerful, they must be from the royal family.

As far as the previous Concubine An knew.

The Fan family once secretly supported the former deposed crown prince, but fortunately the crown prince was deposed early.

The Fan family is cautious.

He did not interfere too much in the fight for the throne among other princes, otherwise the new emperor would definitely not let him go.

They are testing the waters!

It is not easy to please the emperor.

What's more!

If you look into it carefully, the Fan family can be considered as a branch of the deposed prince. Of course, there is a reason why they chose to settle down in the An family.

Concubine An was a strong supporter of the new emperor and a die-hard supporter of the new emperor.

The current princes are still too young.

Everyone in the world is trying to see the hidden dragon with their eyes wide open, but how can it be so easy?

Maybe the hidden dragon has not been born yet!

Besides, the emperor is still in good health and can live for several decades.

The Fan family naturally had to get close to the emperor first, and the quickest way was to marry into the emperor's faction.

An Wu and Sun had a few words about the girl from the Fan family.

As long as the girl has a good figure and no hidden diseases, it's almost settled.

What does the prince think?

Never mind then!

This is a feudal civilization where parents’ orders are important and sons have no say.

Even girls from other families.

It is also decided by the elders.

What a poor kid!

An Wu would not break the local concept just because she felt sorry for the ancient youth.

She is currently in the deep palace.

It’s inconvenient to do anything!

At last.

An Wu still asked Sun to make the arrangements, so that the young man and woman could at least see each other once, so that they wouldn't have to wait until the bridal chamber to see the bride and groom.

but.

An Wu was really thinking too much.

Prince An followed his father and grandfather in that he only liked inscriptions on tombstones and had no particular requirements for his wife.

I heard about it later.

The dowry of the girl from the Fan family included a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings.

There are also many rare and unique copies, and the young and old men in the An family love them like crazy.

Before Sun left the palace.

Also mentioned one thing.

Lipin's family secretly sent a large gift to the Bo's Mansion. It seemed that they wanted Lipin to raise the fifth prince.

This Lipin.

She was one of the emperor's favorite concubines.

Everything is good!

She is beautiful, talented, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has a gentle temper, which is very much to the emperor's liking.

But she had given birth to a little princess.

He died at the age of one and a half and had no more children.

Lipin’s natal family, the Shen family.

Zeng also sent a girl from the Shen family into the imperial palace, hoping that she would give birth to a child for Concubine Li.

She is Concubine Shen in the palace now.

But Concubine Shen only had one pregnancy, and after the miscarriage she never had another.

The Shen family wanted to send another daughter into the palace.

but.

There are already two daughters from the Shen family in the palace. How could another daughter from the Shen family be allowed into the palace?

It’s not your Shen family’s world.

and so.

After Concubine An died, Concubine Li set her sights on the Fifth Prince. She had once suggested to the Emperor that she wanted to raise the Fifth Prince.

But the emperor refused.

joke!

Letting Concubine Li raise the fifth prince is equivalent to making the Shen family and the An family form an alliance.

With Concubine An around, there will definitely be no chance for other princes!

Maybe.

It is hard to say whether there will be any more princes born in the future. The emperor and the queen mother do not want to see such a situation.

The queen and other concubines were even more unhappy!

Even if the emperor agreed to Concubine Li, the other concubines could ruin the matter.

But obviously, Concubine Li has not given up yet.

Through the Shen family, she went directly to the Wuyang Marquis's residence and even catered to his wishes by giving him several ancient inscriptions.

An Wu couldn't help but sneer.

Who does Concubine Li think she is?

Does the An family need to form an alliance with the Shen family?

Besides, the emperor has already refused, and you still want the An family to come forward and offend the emperor?

Do you really think that you can be so proud just because you are favored?

An Wu sent Sun away.

He called the head maid Cai'e, gave her a few instructions, and watched her leave Chengping Palace.

She took the fifth prince to Taici Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager and have a meal.

In addition to Concubine An, the other concubines who stayed in the palace to retire included Concubine Chen and Concubine Li.

Needless to say.

These three have all made contributions to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.

As for the other concubines, those who had sons who were made kings were basically taken out of the palace by the kings to live out their retirement.

Those concubines who stood on the wrong side.

Most of them were sent to royal temples, where they were allowed to practice Buddhism with their hair uncut and spend the rest of their lives there.

The mother of some hostile princes.

He fell ill and died soon after. The secrets behind this are self-evident.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager!"

The fifth prince knelt before the Queen Mother in a proper manner, but he was wearing too many clothes and accidentally rolled off the cushion.

"Oh, haha, Xiaowu is here. Come and let the Empress Dowager take a look. Is he hurt?"

The Queen Mother laughed happily.

This grandparents and grandchildren love to play this game and are not afraid of getting tired of it.

"Here, here, the Imperial Grandmother, huhu!"

Xiaowu put his little face close to the empress dowager and asked her to blow on him.

"No, the Empress Dowager clearly saw you fall to the ground..."

Xiaowu immediately put his two little hands behind his back, determined to protect his little butt.

He had been fooled before and his little butt was seen by the little palace maid. How shameful!

"Haha! Fifth Prince, your hands are too small to cover it!"

Chen Taipin said in a humorous way.

"Ah! Grandmother, save PP!"

Xiaowu quickly threw himself into the Queen Mother's arms and buried his little head in them, causing the Queen Mother to burst into laughter again.

After a while of laughter.

The young palace maid took the fifth prince to play, and the empress dowager and three concubines set up a leaf card table and started playing cards.

"The wife of the Marquis of Wuyang has left the palace?"

The Queen Mother asked about Sun's entry into the palace.

"Yes……"

An Wu planned to report to the Queen Mother about the marriage between the An family and the Fan family.

To prevent others from doing anything tricky.

By the way, he mentioned the generous gift that Concubine Li's family sent to the An family.

The Queen Mother heard about the previous marriage.

I was very satisfied.

As long as the An family does not marry into the families of the queen and several concubines.

She was relieved.

But after hearing about Lipin's story, the Queen Mother's face darkened. Although she said nothing, she felt even more disgusted with Lipin.

If she weren't so useful.

The Queen Mother wanted to banish this evil concubine to the cold palace immediately.

How greedy.

I must have a good talk with the emperor later and ask him not to pamper this concubine too much, so that he won’t be bewitched by her.
