MTL - Happiness Consist in Contentment-v12 Chapter 18

In fact, in aristocratic circles, especially in ancient times, they really valued reputation and face.

After all, in the big environment, the concept of one prosperous and one detrimental is very important.

And the Royal Academy is also a place where the children of the noble family in Jingzhong gather to study. It can be seen who Liu Yiyi's former classmates are.

Not the direct daughter of the noble family, or the noble daughter of the noble family, there are also concubines, but not all of them are like her.

In addition, due to the reason of being a direct descendant, there is actually some discrimination and grading in the academy - otherwise, the young princess Liu Fang would not have so many privileges at the beginning. Others must be honest after the exam, but she can. Go if you want.

Therefore, in such an environment, it is normal for Liu Yiyi to feel wronged.

Just like in the schools of later generations, it is a truth that children from superior families and children from poor families will experience different experiences.

This is not to say how vicious people are, it is just a normal phenomenon in society. As long as it is not excessive, there is no so-called bullying. In fact, it is a small dispute and a small contradiction between children.

It is normal to compare clothes, food, etc. in which era.

Besides, Mrs. Ding'an Hou didn't like her, but she didn't really treat her harshly. Otherwise, how could she study at the Royal Academy?

Does it really mean that there is no way for her to go home and read a book?

In fact, as everyone's mistress, she didn't really care about a concubine like her.

But Liu Yiyi wouldn't think so, otherwise, she wouldn't treat her former classmates like this, and she wouldn't treat her mother-in-law like this.

To be honest, Liu Fang can't understand this kind of person: they are the first-born mother, you are only a concubine, and you are not their own, so you deserve to be treated well.

To put it in a bad way, if the elders' hearts are hurt too much, the elders may not condone without bottom line - of course, the elders who dote on their children infinitely will not say it.

As a concubine, in fact, I met a somewhat reliable first-mother, and I didn't target too much, and I didn't want to kill you at every turn, thinking about selling you in exchange for benefits, which is actually pretty good.

In this case, as a junior, a concubine daughter, and once you gain power, you will target your mother-in-law. What do you ask other mistresses of aristocratic families to think?

You must know that in ancient times, people who did not take concubines were very few, and concubines were the majority.

What do these mistresses hate most?

Not a concubine, not a concubine, and not

Peaceful, ambitious concubines and concubines.

After all, what love in this era is about, the only thing in life, is true and false.

Most of the mistresses were born of noble daughters, and the education they received from childhood to adulthood was not about love and love, but more realistic interests, dignity, decency, status, status, etc.

And the concubine, if it is safe, is actually nothing to the mistress, there is no difference between one and ten.

Moreover, nowadays in Anguo, because of Emperor Anwen, women value more men's sense of responsibility and conduct. Concubinage, either, explain it before marriage, or it is not allowed.

Therefore, the mistresses of An Guoxun's noble family are all very clear-headed masters. There are not many people with pitted brains, and not many people with vicious hearts.

Mrs. Ding'an Hou has been in charge of the Hou Mansion for many years, and everyone can see how she behaves as a person.

Even if she pretended to be, she pretended to be good anyway, and she really didn't plan to harm Liu Yiyi.

In the eyes of other mistresses, this is a very generous first-mother.

But now, Liu Yiyi is openly targeting her, and it is conceivable what her reputation will become.

In the same way, as the wife of the Crown Prince of Chang, her reputation also represents the reputation of the Duke of Chang's mansion.

How does this make Mrs. Chang Guo's wife not have a headache?

...

Liu Fang understood Mrs. Chang Guogong's thoughts very well.

Liu Yiyi got married, but she made the relationship between her parents stiff, which means that the marriage between the two families was completely useless and useless.

It may not be a big deal to the Ding'an Marquis's Mansion, but it may be a disaster for the Duke of Chang's Mansion.

why?

Because, with such a virtuous wife of a prince, it will not be so smooth for the Prince Chang to communicate in the noble circle in the future - no one likes a neuropathy that targets you all day long.

Most of the female students of the Royal Academy where Liu Yiyi is located are direct descendants, and they must be married to the right family. Their identity is not the prince's wife of the prince's mansion, or the prince's wife of the prince's mansion, the prince's mansion, or even the prince's mansion. Mrs. Shizi or something.

She is basically targeting such daughters and clansmen. After that, when people hold banquets or something, they will naturally not send messages to the Duke of Chang's mansion.

If the family is like this, if the family is like this, then after Chang Guo Gongfu, it will have to become as small and transparent as the previous Wennan Bofu.

Of course, if the Duke of Chang's mansion is rich and powerful in the future, for the sake of profit, most people still have to bow their heads and flatter.

However, whether it is not the former Emperor An Wen, or the current Emperor An Cheng (the original prince), he doesn't have a good impression of the Duke of Chang's mansion.

Except for the very Ze, this person is indeed a person with outstanding talents. Perhaps, they will look at his talents and let go of the past.

But what about Chang Ze himself?

To be honest, it's still okay to coax a little girl with romance, poetry, and songs. In actual talent, such as being an official, he is really much worse.

For example, in the Hanlin Academy, he was arrogant and did not get along well with others, and his colleagues did not like him very much.

At the same time, Chang Ze doesn't like these snobbish and vulgar colleagues around him.

Then one can imagine his future situation.

Originally, according to his ranking, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and after two years, he could be released.

But it wasn't until his colleagues in the same period left that he got such an opportunity to be released, but the location of the release was not as good as he imagined.

Yangchengnan County in the southwest is generally two words: desolate and poor.

But he was unwilling to go to such a wild place, and even refused to go to the memorial.

The reigning Emperor An Cheng saw it, and naturally he would not get used to his troubles, so he simply threw him away to repair books.

As we all know, cultivating books is a department that can no longer be idle in the Hanlin Academy.

If you are lucky, you may be able to build a masterpiece that will be handed down to future generations. If you are not lucky, you will really stay here all your life and sit on the bench, and no one will pay attention to you.

Chang Ze is not someone who can settle down and do learning, so naturally he can't do much.

Without doing anything, with so many talents taking the imperial examination every three years, he gradually disappeared.

Even if he was the heir of the Duke of Chang's mansion and had no title, no one in the court could see him.

And what about Duke Chang?

After so many years, Emperor An Wen and Emperor An Cheng have also been tossed around to have the title of Duke of the country, and there is no power at all.

In Kyoto, the powerless Xungui, in fact, is just like that. Apart from being able to continue to wear clothes and food, and to communicate outside, no one really cares about you.

Only then did Liu Yiyi find out that even if she was the wife of the crown prince's mansion, she would not be flattered, and even more neglected and ignored.

Now she has learned to behave well, knowing that her reputation is bad, she began to do her best to repair it in an attempt to reverse the current situation.

However, her husband was not strong enough, and the ladies in the noble circle of Kyoto still looked down on her.

This is the ancient law of survival: the husband is honored and the wife is expensive, and the husband is not the wife.

Such a situation made Liu Yiyi feel

Full of resentment, but there is nothing to do.

The real top nobles would ignore her, and some decent people were not willing to associate with her, so she could only rely on socializing among the lower-level nobles to lose face.

...

In March of another year, various banquets began in various mansions in Beijing.

Liu Yiyi finally got an invitation from Ningyang's eldest princess' mansion, and she dressed up in great spirits and went to the banquet in a splendid manner.

In recent years, although her social circle is not very good, she is still the wife of the crown prince of the country's government.

Now she is extraordinarily obedient, following behind Mrs. Chang Guogong, acting like a well-behaved daughter-in-law, and showing respect to Mrs. Ding'an Hou.

In addition, it has been a few years since the incident, and everyone has forgotten a little, so they also think that she is not bad.

Liu Yiyi was proud, and finally turned her reputation around. From now on, she will be as beautiful as she thought.

...

In fact, today is the peach blossom feast in Ningyang Grand Princess Mansion. In the garden of Ningyang Grand Princess Mansion, there is a particularly splendid peach blossom. Every year when the flowers bloom, a banquet is held. The nobles in Beijing also like to come here to enjoy it. flower.

In fact, this garden is very well built, like a fairyland, which makes people linger.

The eldest princess of Ningyang is a very high-ranking elder of the royal family, so there are naturally a lot of royal family members who came to cheer today.

Liu Yiyi was standing behind Mrs. Chang Guogong and listening to her gossip with a prince, when there was a commotion outside.

The princess suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that the eldest princess is here."

The eldest princess, in Anguo, now, there is only Liu Fang alone.

After Emperor An Cheng ascended the throne, he directly promoted Liu Fang as the eldest princess, and he has only three princes and no princess so far.

Furthermore, he didn't want the queen to be reborn, so he could only sigh and regretfully admit that he had no daughter in his life.

The strangest thing is that his two younger brothers did not give birth to daughters, including Liu Xiao and Liu Su, who were also born sons.

Now Liu Fang's eldest son is five years old, she is pregnant again, everyone is eagerly waiting to see if she can give birth to a daughter.

If you really have a daughter, you can imagine how much favored this child will be.

...

Liu Yiyi looked at the room, but everyone who was not an elder of the royal family stood up, gathered outside, and waited for Liu Fang to come over.

Mrs. Chang Guo is naturally the same

, she nodded to the princess with a smile and said sorry, then got up and took Liu Yiyi to stand among the ladies of the same rank, waiting quietly.

Liu Yiyi listened to the people around her talking about how comfortable Liu Fang had been over the years and how many good things she had done.

Especially when I heard that she has spent a lot of money and has been building Ci'anyuan all over the country. Every time there is a natural disaster, she will take the lead in providing money and materials.

Liu Yiyi felt uncomfortable and depressed in her heart.

That money is not her fief?

This is money that belongs to the national treasury. She took so much and donated a little bit each time. Isn't it normal?

If she was as rich as Liu Fang, she would spend the small money to gain fame.

Liu Fang was able to live so freely because of the favor of two generations of emperors.

What's up with her? Not a noble woman who is served every day!

snort!

Liu Yiyi was jealous, injustice, and hated why God didn't let her be reborn into a good family like Liu Fang, and let her get everything by her own calculations.

It's so unfair!
