This is the third time that the sister, who is a princess, has lost a child. Miss Eight, please follow the servants and be careful where you step.A respectful and steady maid leads the way. Thank you.The sweet voice with a slightly childlike voice replied politely. Ming Enhua walked quietly under the leadership of two beautiful maidservants.Turning a blind eye to the beautiful carved beams and painted buildings in the Prince's Mansion, he fell into deep thought.The first two miscarriages were due to unexplained reasons, and after her healthy body became unhealthy, naturally, she was no longer easy to conceive, and it was even more difficult to raise a fetus.Her third child was finally conceived, and after ten months of torturing her sister in bed, she was finally born, but died two months later. Sad, but can't help anything, let alone come up with any useful ideas to prevent such a tragedy from happening again.

It's not the first time something like this has happened, and it won't be the last time.The only difference is that the people who encounter such incidents are different. Today, it was her turn to visit the elder sister in the Prince's mansion on behalf of the Ming family, and to say some comforting words of her own.Over the past 100 years since the founding of the Sunshine Dynasty, with the steady development of the country, the planning of many laws and regulations has been basically completed, and many etiquette rules have gradually become complicated.This kind of cumbersome production may not be so necessary, but in order to show the nobility of status and the difference in status, from royal family and nobles to court officials, from dressing to eating, from words and deeds to rides and horses, etc., They all set a set of rules and never tired of customizing, and tied themselves firmly. Every official who participated in it felt proud of it.As a result, the etiquette system of the Sunshine Dynasty is constantly being added, and it is almost thicker than the annals of history, and it has become a burden on the study of every noble and official child. Book sighed.

Look, even if you want to visit and condolence to your own sister who is a princess, you are firmly set the nine family visit rituals of father's family visit, mother-in-law visit, and worry-relieving visit.Who should come first, and how to arrange, can’t make mistakes. I heard that if the arrangement is not proper, it is a loss of dignity, and it is even a wrong thing to do without filial piety. The paternal family inspectors are the parents, the head of the family, and the elder brother; then the mother and sister-in-law inquire three times; finally, the unmarried girl in the family ends the last three interrogations, saying some cheerful auspicious words, and making a lively atmosphere, so that the crown princess being interrogated My mood improved, I was able to pick myself up again, and continued to assume my identity and responsibilities.

Today is the second investigation of Jieyoutan.In fact, the family didn't intend to send her here.Because the first visit three days ago was already brought by my own sister Enhui, logically speaking, the second person to receive this kind of interview favor should be my uncle's eldest daughter Enmin, regardless of age and seniority, it should be That's right, but after Enhui came back from the Prince's Mansion three days ago, she brought a message for the Crown Princess: My sister wants to see Enhua.The Crown Princess has spoken in person, so of course she has to do it right away, although there is no time for new dresses, new jewelry, etc., and sister Enmin, who has already prepared, may be still angry, and she excuses that the clothes have not been delivered yet, They all refused to borrow.But fortunately, the daughters of the Ming family have never lacked items that can appear on the scene, the only difference is that they are not specially prepared for the audience, and they are not so gorgeous.

However, for a girl who is only fourteen years old, too magnificent decorations are too burdensome, and she can escape the six large pieces of beads on the head, wearing six layers of embroidered clothes, and wearing a six-foot pearl cloak. Ming Enhua secretly rejoiced at the torment of clothes. After crossing the Jiuqu Bridge made of white jade, I arrived at the Muya Courtyard where my sister lived.Then there were layers of notifications from the reception lady to the big girl in the inner courtyard, and then to the personal maid of the Crown Princess, who had to wait for a while. Ming Enhua stood quietly in the reception hallway, the reception lady was about to make her a cup of tea, unexpectedly the Xuan from inside came in so fast, the other maids at the scene couldn't help but look at the distinguished guests who came today.You know, the previous seven visits from her mother's family had to wait for a cup of tea, and waited for the princess to finish her makeup and clothes before letting her family see her.Such a quick announcement showed that the Crown Princess was either ready, or not at all, she was willing to let her family members come in to meet her casually in regular attire, it was really inconceivable.

When Ming Enhua walked along with the girl who led the way, he didn't notice the surprised eyes of the maids, but he didn't care about it, he just thought about saying something interesting later to make his sister feel better.But the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I was really bad. After reading so many books, I only became a nerd, but I couldn't find a useful word. Alas, she is indeed the most mediocre person in the family. She is good at reading and memorizing but cannot make full use of books.Although I always knew I was mediocre, I never felt so depressed about it.

You know, the Ming family specializes in producing talented men and women!Twelve years ago, her eldest sister won the prize in the Royal Poetry Society at the young age of fourteen, and became the female champion of that year. It is still King Liuli who is now the crown prince of the country and is the concubine.The already prominent aristocratic status of the Ming family has been improved to a higher level because of the marriage with the royal family. What are you thinking?The gentle and steady female voice carried a little smile. It was only then that Ming Enhua was shocked to realize that she was in a daze when it was time to pay homage!God!Hurry to kneel down and worship:

see the princess The complete worship was not completed in time, and the knees did not even touch the carpet before being helped up by the princess herself.Come on, my sister, there is no need to give such a big gift.I've asked them all to quit. Ming Enhua didn't dare to raise his head immediately, and looked left and right with his big downcast eyes, and there was no shadow of anyone else, so he timidly raised his small face and looked at his biological elder sister.Called out softly: sister. The princess carefully looked at this younger sister who was twelve years younger than herself.When she married into the royal family at the age of sixteen, this little girl was only four years old. Although she was a compatriot of the same mother, she hadn't been with her for a few days, so what she could understand was limited.

You look good, Eun Hwa, you look like a grandma. Does looking like grandma mean good looks?Ming Enhua was puzzled in his heart, but he just put it in his heart and quietly let his elder sister look at it.A fourteen-year-old girl is no longer a child, but she is not considered a big girl either.While being sized up, he also looked back at the most beautiful and talented elder sister in the family.The perfect eldest sister is the worship of all the women in the Ming family, and in the future, she will also be a model for all the women in the Sun Yao Dynasty.The big eyes have innocence, admiration, and a calmness that gradually grows.

Seeing the younger sister's reaction, the princess laughed even more. It really looks like it.After finishing speaking, he took Ming Enhua's little hand and sat down on the couch. After Ming Enhua carefully supported the elder sister to sit up, she sat on the other side of the younger table under the gesture of the elder sister. Do you know why I want to see you? Ming Enhua thought for a while, then shook his head.There was no one else to serve her. Seeing the tea on the table, she straightened up and poured a cup for her sister. Smelling the smell and looking at the color, she knew it was snow ginseng tea, the best ginseng to nourish the body after pregnancy.

You drink too.The princess smiled slightly: This tea can also beautify the face. Ming Enhua nodded, thanked him, poured himself a cup, put it to his lips, sipped it, and put it down. I know that Eunmin was supposed to come here today, but she didn't make it, are you very upset?the princess asked. is very upset.Ming Enhua thought for a while and said: There is no way, which sisters are not looking forward to coming to see my sister.My sister married early, we little girls all worship her very much, wishing to be close to her often.If it were me, who would not be angry and sad if the good things I had been looking forward to for a lifetime were taken away so abruptly? The princess smiled when she heard this, leaned her slender body gracefully on the cushion behind her, and looked deeply at the little girl in the most comfortable posture.He didn't say anything more on this topic, and then asked: When you came, what did the family tell you to tell me? Ming Enhua was a little embarrassed when he heard that, what else could the family explain?It's nothing more than the same words as the family members said seven times when they came over.Obediently replied: Please take care of your body, sister, there will be children in the future, don't be too sad, the most important thing is to take care of your body now.I didn't say these words, so it's hard to explain when I go back.Thanks to my sister for giving her the opportunity to endorse. I see.A faint response is nothing but a false response. My sister looks so beautiful, but Ming Enhua feels a little sad for some reason.As the daughter of an aristocratic palace family, she certainly knows that the life of marrying into the royal family cannot be too easy, and there are too many things to worry about.Originally, girls of their family background would be nurtured by the family in the strictest way since they were young. Not only should they be able to learn piano, chess, poetry and painting, but also be able to learn housekeeping and calculations and other daily chores. Maybe this is not enough?Not enough to deal with the complexity and treachery of the royal family, that's why my sister looks so pale, as if she will disappear at any time Enhua, has the family started to arrange a partner for you? Most girls would feel shy when they hear this topic, no matter how generous and open-minded they are, they would hesitate for a long time, but Ming Enhua didn't, she thought about it, and reported it truthfully, as if answering the teacher's question: No.There are four older sisters in the family.I heard from my mother that my father will start helping sister Enhui choose a husband next year.Next summer, those scholars sent by the emperor to study abroad will come back. At that time, parents will arrange for my sister to participate in poetry gatherings, flower viewing parties, etc. If they can choose one they like, they will arrange it. Well, as I remember, the girl in the family didn't think about marriage until she was sixteen.and you?What are your thoughts on your future? future?idea?Although she is no longer a child, she has never had the opportunity to think of things that far away. I didn't think about it.Honestly. You should think, think clearly, and you will understand what kind of life you want to live in the future.En Hui said that you are good at reading, you should have read a few books about talented scholars and beautiful ladies, right?Or you've also heard the singers invited to entertain the female relatives sing some Tanci and Huaben, haven't you? I've seen it, I've heard it.But aren't those just for viewing and listening?You wouldn't just think of it as your future life just because you read books about gifted scholars and beautiful ladies and listened to Tanci storybooks, right? The princess was amused by her sister again. Is it time to tell you that you don't understand the style, or is it that you are not in love?En Hui told you that you are a boring and old-fashioned girl, do you have any excuses? No.smile slightly.The big eyes are narrowed into crescent slits, looking cute and playful. Well, let's not talk about talents and beautiful women, that's a bit romantic.Talking about something more practical, as a daughter of the Ming family, what is your understanding of marriage? marriage?Ming Enhua faintly felt that this question seemed to be the main purpose of the elder sister's summoning her today. Although she didn't know why, she should think carefully before answering, so she pondered for a long time before replying: For the daughters of the Ming family, marriage should not be sloppy. Whether they are married to a powerful official family or a commoner scholar with no family background but a bright future, there must be a premise that the existing reputation and interests of the Ming family must not be violated. oh?The princess encouraged me with great interest: Say more. The elder sister's eyes were too focused, and Ming Enhua couldn't help feeling a little anxious, not understanding why the elder sister wanted to know so much.In fact, this is just a rough idea that flashed through her mind when she was bored.However, since my sister wanted to hear it, she had no choice but to dig deeper into those rough thoughts: Although my mother once mentioned it to Sister Enhui and me, I hope that we will marry a good husband, with enough food and clothing and happiness.It seems that as long as you marry a gentle and considerate husband and respect and love each other, your future life will be a guarantee of happiness.However, I have observed from the marriages of many sisters that in fact, it is far from enough to be a virtuous and gentle wife in the marriage of sisters, because the partners the sisters marry are not ordinary people.Let’s take you as an example, sister. You are the most prominent woman married to the Ming family for a hundred years. Now you are the crown prince and concubine. Although you may not become the mother of the empress in the future, you will be one of the four concubines when you enter the Mingxia Palace. Yes for sure.If my sister is only gentle and virtuous, then why is she gaining a foothold in the royal family?Because in addition to being the wife of the prince, you also have another more important status as the concubine of the current prince and future emperor.Ministers first, concubines second, duties first, then private wives and concubines Speaking of this, Ming Enhua suddenly stopped talking, and looked at the face of the princess with some trepidation, but he couldn't see what kind of mood his sister was in. The Crown Princess was stunned for a long while, then said softly: At your age, I still can't think of this truth.nhwa.Especially as the daughter-in-law of the royal family, she has a true understanding of the word "concubine". My sister is just thinking wildly, it's all nonsense I like your wild thoughts.Come on, Enhua, help my sister think about it, if you were in my position today, how would you maintain the interests of the Ming family so that they would not be violated? Ming Enhua was puzzled: Sister, you married the prince and brought unprecedented honor and favor to the Ming family, so how can you harm the Ming family? If one day, the interests of the royal family and the Ming family conflict.If there was such a day, as the daughter of the Ming family and the daughter-in-law of the royal family, what would you do? This answer is very important, because my sister's expression is very dignified, and there is no trace of leisure and relaxation.Ming Enhua's heart sank, feeling a little out of breath.Asked in a very small voice: Sister, do you get along well with the prince? The prince treats me very well, I love him.A soft but firm voice. like?What is love?Ming Enhua didn't understand.I just feel that my sister's appearance is so beautiful, as beautiful as an epiphyllum that is in full bloom but is about to wither in a blink of an eye, it is shocking. However, for him, just loving him is not enough.If you are not strong enough, it will only be his burden; if you are too strong, he will have to get rid of you.It is not easy to love an emperor. Why is it not easy for my sister?She doesn't understand. Enhua, you are fourteen years old now, I will give you six years to think about this problem.Six years later, you must know how to love a crown prince, or emperor. Why should she think? The princess didn't let her ask, and turned back to the topic just now: Now I just want you to answer: How to keep the Ming family safe for the rest of their lives in the position of the royal daughter-in-law. That night, Ming Enhua came home. She was so exhausted that she even ate and washed with her eyes closed. Under the service of two personal maids, she was already asleep before touching the bed.She didn't know that the loyal servant who escorted her back also brought back a letter secretly handed down by the crown princess. This letter made the crown princess's biological father stay in the study all night without seeing anyone. He was in a daze with only a few words, sighed occasionally, and felt a little embarrassed. Although it was difficult, he could only turn into helplessness and give in in the end.
