After listening to the words of his father, Emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty, the princess of Rui said: if the father let his daughter make her own decision, the daughter has an idea.
"Well, now your father, I and your mother and concubine are by your side. If you have any idea, just say it." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
Rui princess a smile, said: "father emperor, this daughter in the end when marriage leave, neither the daughter set, nor father and mother Princess you decide."
"Who will decide?" Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked strangely.
The princess replied, "it's up to heaven."
Then she took out a piece of paper from the table and tore it in half.
Then the princess picked up the brush and wrote a few words on it.
After that, she crumpled the two pieces of paper into two balls.
"What are you doing, daughter? "Princess Jia asked her daughter.
Princess Rui put two paper balls into the palm of these pieces and said: "father, mother, these two paper balls, one of which is about marriage leave in five days, the other is about postponing marriage. Now the daughter is in your hands, and I, turn around. Father, you put these two paper balls on your left and right hands and clench your fists After that, the daughter will guess. "
" daughter, it's your destiny! "After hearing this, the emperor of LiZong said with a smile to Princess Rui.
Jia Guifei quickly stopped her and said, "no, this marriage leave is your daughter's life-long event. How can it be such a child's play. "
" I think it's very good, princess. "Emperor li Zong of the great song dynasty said.
After hearing this, Princess Jia said to LiZong, "Emperor ! "
" Aifei, don't worry, listen to me and you slowly. " Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
Jia Guifei said: "well, official family, just say it."
"She is my only daughter. After the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I believe that my daughter is a blessed person. It must be a good decision for her to make such a choice." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
Then he told Princess Rui, "daughter, turn around."
After listening to her father's words, the princess immediately turned around and faced the outside.
Soon, I heard the emperor LiZong of Song Dynasty say to Princess Rui: "OK, daughter, you can turn around now."
"Father, are you ready?" Hearing this, the princess turned around and asked.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty replied, "yes, daughter, you can choose now."
He held out his anxious hands.
"My daughter wants the ball of paper on your right hand, father." Princess Rui told emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty listened to the anxious daughter's selection of the paper ball with the anxious right hand, and he saw the paper ball with the anxious right hand handed to her.
"Open it up." Emperor LiZong ordered his daughter, Emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.
The princess of Rui opened the paper ball in her hand.
"What's the result, daughter?" Asked Princess Jia.
Princess Rui handed the opened paper ball to her mother Princess Jia Guifei again and said, "you can see for yourself
The princess Jia took a look at the paper ball and saw that it said that she would be married in five days.
"Daughter, it seems that you are really predestined with General Wang Jian. God wants you to get married as soon as possible." After Jia Guifei saw it, she said.
At this time, the princess of the kingdom of Rui, on the contrary, began to show her love and said, "father, mother, but my daughter thinks she is still young and doesn't want to get married like this."
"In this way, it's a wonderful day to see your father and mother at any time in the harem every day. If your daughter gets married, it won't be so convenient to see her father and mother." The princess of Switzerland said again.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said: "daughter, you can rest assured that your father will give you a gold medal when you go back. When do you want to go into the harem and meet your father and mother, it's OK."
"That would be wonderful." After hearing this, Princess Rui was happy.
Then she asked, "father, are you cheating my daughter?"
"You child, how can you say that about your father? You are so ignorant!" After listening to the words of her daughter Princess Rui, Princess Jia said.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty was not angry, but, with a smile, said to Princess Rui, "your father is the son of heaven of the Song Dynasty. What the emperor said, that is, golden words, is impossible to change."
"Now, your mother and concubine are here to testify for your daughter. When you get married, your father will promise you the gold medal for your daughter."
Princess Jia asked Princess Rui, "daughter, are you at ease this time? "
" don't worry, mother. "The princess replied.Jia Guifei said, "thank you for your father. "
" thank you, my daughter. "After listening to her mother's words, Princess Rui got up and knelt down in front of emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty.
Emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty said in a hurry: "hurry up. "
" if you go to the Ministry of rites to convey my imperial edict, you say that the wedding of Princess Rui will be held in three or five days, so that the Ministry of rites must be ready. If something goes wrong, all the officials of the Ministry of rites will be held responsible. "The emperor li Zong of the great Song Dynasty gave orders to the eunuch Dong Song Chen, the general manager of the great interior.
The eunuch Dong songchen, the general manager of the Imperial Palace, bowed himself and said, "respect the edict!"
He left the palace of Princess Rui.
"Concubine, in a few months, the baby in your stomach will be born?" asked the princess.
Jia Guifei nodded and replied, "yes, I will give birth to your mother in four months."
"I have already discussed with Jia Aiqing. This time, as long as you give birth to a prince, I will immediately appoint the prince you gave birth to as the prince of Song Dynasty." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
When Jia Guifei heard this, she also wanted to get up and express her gratitude. But the emperor of LiZong stopped him and said to her, "don't be so polite. As long as you give birth to a prince for me, you are the first meritorious official of the Song Dynasty. At that time, even I have to thank you."
"Officer, you are really flattered." The modest way of Princess Jia.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "Princess Ai, you have been here for some time today. All the things you should do have been done. Go back and have a rest. You can't let my prince get tired."
"Well, father, it's not right for you to worry about your prince but not your concubine." After listening to the words of general emperor li of the Song Dynasty, the princess said.
Jia Guifei said: "daughter, this is what you say. How can you blame your father?"
"Ha ha, my daughter is right. I'm the prince who only cares about my future and ignores my concubine." Emperor Li Zong of the great song dynasty.
Then he said, "well, in order to make up for my mistake, I will personally return my concubine to my palace today."
"Official family, you need to deal with so many things every day. I'll go back by myself. I don't need your help." Jia Guifei pushed away.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty replied, "that's no good. If I don't send you back, I'm afraid my daughter will be dissatisfied with me."
With that, he took the lead to get up, made a gesture of inviting, and said to Princess Jia, "please, princess love."
"Your Majesty, I don't deserve it." This is the way Jia Guifei said immediately.
The emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty, with the help of his concubine Jia, walked outside surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs.
This time, Princess Rui was not mischievous, but respectfully sent her father and mother to her palace. After seeing them disappear from her sight, she returned to her palace.
Emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty and Princess Jia went back on foot.
When the two of them came to the gate of Princess Jia's palace, they saw a little eunuch coming in a hurry, saying that the queen Xie Daoqing asked the officials to come over, saying that there was something to discuss.
"In this case, you can go directly to the empress. Anyway, my concubine is here." After hearing this, Jia Guifei said.
The emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty thought about it and said, "it's OK. I'll go to the sage."
When I came to the empress, I saw the empress Xie daoqingzheng standing at the gate of Zhonggong, waiting for her arrival.
"Saint, what are you doing?" Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked,
and then he said, "since sage you have something to ask me, I will come back as long as I have time. You just wait in your own palace. Why wait here?"
"Originally, I wanted to go to your majesty, but I heard from the people in the palace that you went to Princess Rui with Jia Guifei in the early days. I was worried that it would be inconvenient for you to go, so I asked the people in the palace to come here after your majesty finished his work." Queen Xie Daoqing explained.
After they came to the middle palace of empress Xie Daoqing and sat down, the emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty asked, "sage, what's the matter with you
"My concubine knows that you are in charge of every day. There is nothing important about it. I dare not disturb you." Queen Xie Daoqing replied.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty asked, "is there something important?"
"Yes." Queen Xie Daoqing replied.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "you can talk about the sage."
"The most important thing at the moment is naturally the marriage of your eldest princess." The queen Xie Daoqing.
Then, she said to the emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty: "official family, my concubine is the head of the harem. Although this princess is born to Princess Jia Guifei, she is also the daughter of my concubine. As the head of the middle palace, my concubine just wants to discuss with you, and make sure that the wedding of my concubine is more grand, so as not to aggrieve my concubine.""Sage, you really deserve to be my queen. You are generous." After hearing this, Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty praised it.
Empress Xie Daoqing said: "official family, you are really flattered. I have no children of my own. In this harem, the children born to other concubines are always treated as my own children."
"What's more, the relationship between Princess Jia and empress Ben is very good. It can be said that she is in love with her sister. Now that Princess Jia is pregnant, I have to worry about it." Queen Xie Daoqing said again.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said: "actually, I'm also thinking about this matter. Now in the back palace, the sage you are the leader, and the next one is Princess Jia. However, he will give birth in a few months, and the princess Rui will be married in five days. The time is so tight, but Princess Jia's body doesn't allow her to be too tired. When I'm in trouble, I didn't I'm so moved that you have to take the initiative to take the responsibility of the sage first. "
"Official family, as you said, since I am your queen, I will share your worries and solve your difficulties. This is what I should do." Queen Xie Daoqing.
Emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty, after listening to Queen Xie Daoqing's words, sighed, "if those ministers are as understanding as queen you are, I will be more comfortable."
"What's the matter? What's the matter with you this morning?" Queen Xie Daoqing asked after listening to Emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.
Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty replied: "it's not for the wedding date of Princess Rui. The ministers of the court have argued again. Some say that Princess Rui will marry General Wang Jian in three or five days. But some of the ministers claim that the time is too short. They say that it's just a wait, which makes me upset. Fortunately, now Princess Rui has made her own decision. It's in May In the future. "
"The child of Princess Rui was brought up by my concubine. She is very similar to the official family. She is very wise and decisive in doing things and can make her own decisions." The empress Xie Daoqing flattered the emperor.
After hearing this, Emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty showed a smile on his face and said, "of course, my daughter is like me."
"Official family, wait until this princess Jia gives birth to a prince for your majesty. At that time, your majesty will have a successor." Queen Xie Daoqing.
After hearing this, Emperor LiZong of the great song dynasty said, "over the years, I always think about the problem of my successor after I live forever. Sometimes I can't sleep all night."
"Now it's a good thing. I can sleep. "The emperor LiZong of the great Song Dynasty has another way.
Empress Xie Daoqing said, "I'm responsible for this. As a queen, I haven't given birth to a son and a half for you for so many years.
"
" I don't want you to be a saint no matter how much you are. "Emperor li Zong of the great song dynasty said.
As soon as his voice fell, a maid in waiting ran in from the outside and cried out, "my Lord, empress, something's wrong .! “
