Chapter 138 Zhao Huirou!
Lantern Festival lanterns and firecrackers on New Year’s Eve.
As New Year's Eve approaches, the sound of firecrackers gradually sounds.
It was time for Zishantang to rest in study, and by the end of the year, there was a banquet for guests.
The banquet was held by the officials of the Song Dynasty. Those who participated in the banquet included the princes of the Zhengshi Hall, some dragon sons and grandsons, Zhao Zhongshi and his brothers would return to the Zishan Hall to attend the banquet.
This itself is a function of Zishan Hall itself, and it is also an opportunity for the annual public servants of the Political Affairs Hall to assess the prince who studied in Zishan Hall.
Generally speaking, the prince and the minister of the Zhengshitang will not easily get in touch with each other. Unless they appear as lecturers, they will subconsciously avoid them.
This banquet is an open opportunity.
Because the economy improved by the end of this year, Renzong made some big money.
The coldness that is deliberately created to maintain a learning environment on weekdays is gone. Rows of red lanterns are hung under the eaves. When night falls, the red lanterns light up, and the entire Zishan Hall becomes a red world. The snow floats down from the sky and is dyed red, which makes the cold weather seem to warm.
As the only two students who were attending classes at Zishan Hall, Ouyang Bian naturally also attended. He came to Zishan Hall early and entered the creaking snow. People from the palace were busy everywhere. After all, although the scope of this banquet was not wide, it was very high. Not only would the dragon son and grandson come, but the ministers and even the officials of the Political Affairs Hall come, so they naturally attached great importance to it.
Ouyang Bian went around and found that he had come early and the cleaning was not completely over yet. Or the aftermath after reincarnation was not over yet. In order not to disturb the staff, Ouyang Bian walked to the backyard of Zishantang, where there was a small piece of wintersweet. He had seen it a few days ago, and most of them were in bud. I guess he would be able to see the blooming wintersweet these days.
Ouyang Bian walked along the corridor to the backyard and turned out at the end of the corridor. Suddenly, he found a woman under the wintersweet looking up at the blooming wintersweet.
The woman was wearing a red cloak, and the cloak was inlaid with white fur. I don’t know if it was mink fur or something else, but Ouyang Bian really couldn’t tell the difference. The woman’s face was flushed, perhaps the light of the lantern or the frozen ones, and the white fur shone with each other. At this moment, Ouyang Bian remembered a poem - the human face and peach blossoms complement each other.
Of course, the flowers are wintersweet, not peach blossoms, and the ones that complement each other are not flowers or fur, but such a poem appeared in his heart.
But there was only one woman in the backyard. Ouyang Bian felt that it was not suitable for being present. He turned around and wanted to leave, but heard a cry: "But Ouyang Mingyue?"
Ouyang Bian was stunned and turned to look at the woman, only to see the woman smiling at him.
What else did Ouyang Bian not understand? This is a special trip to wait for him.
Ouyang Bian secretly speculated that he had no enemies and no political enemies, so there shouldn't be anyone trapped. Moreover, at his age, the beauty trick is not suitable, right?
"Who are you?" Ouyang Bian stood in the corridor.
The woman looks only sixteen or seventeen years old and has a cute and silly temperament.
"My name is Zhao Huirou."
Ouyang Bian felt a stern, wasn’t this the Princess of Yan State?
Oh, now it should still be Princess Fukang.
This is a tragic character, but now she is still in the best stage of her life.
Song Renzong had few children and died one after another, and he only had four daughters who grew up.
As the only child of the emperor for more than ten years, Princess Fukang was far beyond the same as other princesses.
She has been smart and intelligent since childhood and is extremely filial.
Renzong was once sick, and she served her father, praying to heaven barefoot, wishing to suffer for her father, so that Renzong would cherish her more and more.
In the second year of Jiayou next year, Song Renzong would hold a grand canonization ceremony for her and promoted her to Princess of Yan.
The princess' mother, Concubine Miao, was promoted to Virtuous Concubine for her daughter's honor. In the same year, she was specially awarded the title of Three Young Officials of the East Palace for three generations.
Zhao Huirou was the first princess in the Song Dynasty to have a canonization ceremony. Renzong spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to build a mansion for the princess. After getting married, he gave him a thousand guan a month and was treated like a crown prince.
It shows how deeply she is pampered.
But her marriage is not happy.
The son-in-law Li Wei is the younger brother of Li Yong and the second son of the biological mother of Emperor Renzong of Song. He is the cousin of Renzong and Zhao Huirou's cousin. This is nothing, the key is that Li Wei is ugly.
Zhao Huirou was deeply loved since childhood, with a cute and naive personality and extremely disgusted with Li Wei, which is also the reason for the failure of the marriage.
As for the later drinking with the eunuch Liang Huaiji under the moonlight, she was discovered by her mother-in-law and locked up at night. So Song Renzong ordered all the eunuchs and palace maids who were dowed by the princess, and Liang Huaiji was sent to Luoyang, Xijing to clean the palace garden.
As a result, he was greatly stimulated and attempted suicide many times - sometimes he was hanging, sometimes he was thrown into a well, and sometimes he was setting fire to the palace.
However, because of the royal status, the marriage was unable to be separated, so that Zhao Huirou died of depression at the age of 33.
Later, Shenzong cried: "Li Wei is not polite to the eldest princess, and he is short of clothing and food. Sometimes he doesn't scream when he is sick, and he deliberately stops it, so that there are lice on his clothes and quilts, and even wants to get charcoal fire to make a fire by himself, which burns his face!"
Zhao Huirou of Girls' Generation reached the extreme honor, and after getting married, it became the beginning of a tragedy. It was supposed to be honored for a lifetime, but she only lived thirty-three years old, which was also a tragedy.
Thinking about something, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but feel sympathy on his face. Zhao Huirou asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Nothing, suddenly I remembered that the water burned at home was not turned off the fire."
Zhao Huirou covered her mouth and smiled, "You are so naughty. Where do you need you to boil water at home?"
Ouyang Bian just smiled and didn't want to have too much contact with this Princess Fukang. It's not just about the princess' personal affairs.
Princess Fukang was betrothed to Li Wei since she was a child, and Li Wei was the mother's family that Renzong wanted to make up for.
Even though Princess Fukang had mental illness due to marriage, Renzong did not allow divorce, which shows how much trouble it was, Ouyang Bian did not want to get involved.
Ouyang Bian bowed and said goodbye: "There is still important things to do next, so please forgive me."
After saying that, Ouyang Bian turned around and left regardless of Zhao Huirou's call.
When Zhao Huirou saw Ouyang Bian leaving without looking back, she was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Hmph, I'm not a tiger, why are you so afraid of me!"
Zhao Huirou was angry for a while and smiled again on her face: "Ouyang Mingyue, as the boy Zhao Zhongzhen said, is indeed a handsome young man, with an extraordinary temperament and a high elegance... Humph, she is just a little timid!"
As a junior, Zhao Zhongzhen also came early. When he saw Ouyang Bian who was rushing out, he said a little surprised: "Why, is there a tiger chasing behind him?"
Ouyang Bian sighed: "Just just walk away to drive away the cold."
Zhao Zhongzhen believed it and quickly said to his entourage: "Hurry up and take my coat over."
