Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 44 Open House

Generally speaking, the location of the prince's palace is usually selected in Yonglefang, because this place is closest to the imperial city, and you can go back to the palace at any time to "visit relatives", such as the seventh prince's palace of Wei Wang, as well as the third prince and the fourth prince and others. The palaces are all in Yonglefang.

But the princess is different, because the place of Yonglefang is so big, and the people who live there are all dignitaries, even the royal family can't take other people's houses for no reason, so these princesses generally take the second place. Live in a few squares next to Yonglefang, such as Explain Defang, Liushufang and the like.

   These places, although a little far from the imperial city, are also close to Yongle Square, which is considered the "center" location of the capital. The Princess Mansion of Ji's family is generally selected in these two squares.

   But there are also more favored princesses, and the Princess Palace is built in Yonglefang.

Ji Lingxiu, the ninth princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, is the younger sister of the seventh prince Ji Wen. She will soon be sixteen years old and will be the age of leaving the palace. It is loved by the emperor of Chengde.

Originally, according to the meaning of the emperor of Chengde, he wanted to find a way to buy her a princess mansion in Yonglefang, but there is no free place in Yonglefang for the time being, so it has not been done yet. Recently, the nine princess's Her elder brother, the seventh prince, Ji Wen, was also helping her with the affairs of the Princess Mansion in Yonglefang.

  It is also worth mentioning that the ranking of the royal prince and the princess is separate. The son of the emperor of Chengde is Xinglong, the seventh prince is the seventh son of the emperor of Chengde, and the little girl is the ninth daughter of the emperor of Chengde.

Ji Lingxiu, the ninth princess, waited outside the dormitory for half an hour, and the gray-haired **** Chen Ju came out, bent down at her, and said respectfully, "Ninth princess, my master asks the old slave to take you in to face the saint. ."

Dajin doesn't like the idea of ​​masters and slaves. Anyone in the entire palace who sees the emperor of Chengde will call his majesty. Only the **** Chen Ju, the eunuch, calls masters. In the entire imperial city, there is only one person. He alone has this qualification.

   Ji Lingxiu nodded at Chen Ju, and said softly, "I have to do the Grand Duke."

   Having said that, she followed behind the big **** and entered the palace of the emperor of Chengde.

In the palace, there is a set of strict rules. It will never be like in the TV series. A grown-up princess rushes into the emperor's study at will and pulls the emperor's beard. In fact, after the prince and princess learn the etiquette rules, even if they want to see When you see your own father, you have to pass the communication.

   In the sleeping hall, several stoves were burning brightly. The emperor of Chengde, who had just woken up from a nap, was wearing the emperor's uniform, and was sitting on the soft couch.

   "The daughter has seen her father."

  The emperor of Chengde put down the memorial in his hand and smiled at the nine princesses: "Xiaojiu is here, come sit and talk."

   Ji Lingxiu nodded and sat in front of her father obediently, not as arrogant as in Li Xin's house.

   After she sat down, Emperor Chengde squinted his eyes and said softly, "Listen to Chen Ju, you've been running outside the palace these days, living in the Seventh Mansion?"

Ji Lingxiu smiled and nodded: "My daughter is about to leave the palace, so I asked Brother Qi to help me find a house. These days, I just lived in Brother Qi's mansion. This was all reported to the palace. Don't blame your daughter."

  According to the rules, the princess is not allowed to leave the palace before she is old, otherwise it is against the system, but Ji Lingxiu, the ninth princess, will be sixteen years old.

The emperor of Chengde gave a soft "um" and said calmly: "You are a law-abiding person, and the father and emperor did not blame you. A few days ago, I wanted to get you a house in Yonglefang, and the Zongfu also sent someone to urge you. , I haven't found a suitable one in Yonglefang, you are outside the palace these days, has Lao Qi found a suitable one for you?"

The ninth princess shook her head and said softly: "The Yonglefang has long been full of people, and they are all people with officials and nobles. How can it be so easy to find the house, the seventh brother has visited several houses these days. I didn't talk about it, my daughter means that this Princess Mansion is no longer in Yonglefang."

Imperial power has always been limited, and it is impossible to do whatever he wants. Of course, Emperor Chengde can personally come forward in this matter. As long as he says a word, someone will let his daughter live in the house from Yonglefang, but this kind of thing will lose people's hearts. , can't do it easily, or a princess is not worth it when he does it.

Emperor Chengde smiled softly and said, "If there is no place in Yonglefang, there should be a place in Mingde and Liushu to open a residence for you. It's going to be New Year's soon, tomorrow I will go to Zongfu in person. A letter and let them hurry up."

   Ji Lingxiu said softly: "Father, Mingdefang and Liushufang are also places where every inch of land is worth the money. It is inevitable that buying a princess's mansion will cost the people and money. My daughter's intention is to be more biased, so that it can save the father a lot of money."

   Chengde Tianzi laughed dumbly: "When did Xiaojiu think so for me?"

Ji Lingxiu's face turned slightly red, but it soon became normal. She lowered her head and said, "My daughter has been walking around the Chase for a few days and found that Chase is a good place. It doesn't cost a lot of money, and it's not too far from the imperial city. Far away, my daughter wants to establish a mansion in Datongfang, and please ask the father to complete it."

  Love at first sight in this world is very rare after all, and this ninth princess is only curious about Li Xin for the time being. The big reason why she wants to open a mansion in Datongfang is because of gluttony.

The ninth princess likes food, and many people in the capital know that, otherwise the seventh prince would not have taken her to Li Xin's place to eat mutton skewers. I was impressed by the art, so I thought of simply living in Datongfang.

   She wanted to take Li Xin as her cook, not her consort.

  The emperor of Chengde frowned and said softly: "Datongfang, is it too remote?"

Ji Lingxiu pulled the Chengde Emperor's sleeve and said coquettishly: "Father, the boy has a good eye for a place, so you can let the boy go. This Datongfang was personally selected by the seventh brother, and the seventh brother agreed, so the boy came to find it. Your…"

   "Lao Qi found it?"

   Chengde Emperor was slightly surprised.

   The words of the nine princesses are of course nonsense. The seventh prince knows nothing about her plan to settle in Datongfang.

  Ji Lingxiu nodded affirmatively: "Yeah, it's the seventh brother who found a place in Datongfang and asked a Feng Shui master to read it and said it was suitable for opening a mansion."

  The four princes who remained in the capital and were eligible to inherit the throne were all candidates for the emperor of Chengde. Among them, the old seventh king of Wei was thorough in everything he did, and he was well-mannered and had some tricks. Therefore, the emperor of Chengde liked this son quite a bit.

   Hearing that the seventh prince nodded, the emperor of Chengde was slightly shaken.

   He frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Well, since you like it there, tomorrow I will send a note to the Zongfu and the Ministry of Industry, and let them choose a site in Datongfang and build the Princess Palace for you."

   The nine princesses cheered, thanked the emperor of Chengde, and went away happily.

   Seeing his daughter's retreating back, Emperor Chengde frowned thoughtfully.

   After a while, he summoned the **** Chen Ju.

   "Chen Ju, go and ask Dong Chengcha to check, what the nine princesses have done during this time and who has contacted."

  The **** bowed his head respectfully.

   "Old slave obeys."

   Push a friend's book, "My Wife is the No. 1 Scholar", which is an alternate history. It is a new book with the author. Interested friends can read it!
