"After Zhao Xiang abdicated, he appointed Prince An, and inherited three generations of generations. He also invited Da Rui as his master. The An Mansion was originally in Donghua Hutong. Logically speaking, as long as a free king like their family does not have the second intention, he might be able to give another generation of grace after the third generation. However, when it was passed on to Zhao Bai, something happened that made the late emperor dislike their family." Princess Zhaoyang picked another piece of peach and fed it to his daughter before continuing.

Zhao Baiping was the biological uncle of Zhao Mengyu, the prince of Long'an County, and the last generation of Prince An.

Unlike other royal families, the male members of the An Prince's Mansion have never received responsibilities. The clan mansion will use as much as they allocate to them every year. Other mansions have the family background left by their ancestors, but the An Prince's Mansion does not have it, and there is no salary, so life is tight.

In Zhao Baiping's generation, there were only three brothers and sisters in the An Mansion.

Zhao Baiping is the eldest son, and he, his younger brother Zhao Baian and his younger sister Zhao Baiyun are both legitimate.

Many years have passed since the abdication of the throne. By this generation, their ancestors have gradually disappeared from their trepidation. Zhao Baiping began to date the nobles in the capital in private.

He was only sixteen years old at that time, and his idea was very simple. If the emperor did not allow them to make friends with ministers, then he would make friends with the nobles. Besides, most of these nobles were like him, and they were idle second-generation ancestors, and interacting with these people would not affect anything.

But he soon discovered that he was much worse than these noble children.

Those who are the true second-generation ancestors, not only have money but also have power. A furry child of fourteen or five years old can respond to it.

And there are only two followers around him for many years.

Zhao Baiping was a little clever. He followed these second-generation ancestors, and in addition to eating and drinking, gradually, he began to do business with them.

For example, if you build a river channel and earn money from the river industry, you will get bonuses from private salt dealers, and help those low-ranking officials who want to curry favor with noble sons. In less than a year, Zhao Baiping made tens of thousands of taels.

When Feiyuwei surrounded Prince An's Mansion, he was calculating the accounts and how much he had made in the latest money.

More than 30 heads were cut off in that case, including Zhao Baiping. The prince of the An Palace ended here. The late emperor named Zhao Bai'an as the prince of Long'an and gave Zhao Bai'an the palace maid of Sicha in the Qianqing Palace as his side concubine. Five years later, the late emperor named Zhao Bai'an's ten-year-old sister Zhao Baiyun as Princess Yongen, and gave marriage to Zheng Li, the fifth son of Zheng Qianqiu, the retired minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Princess Yongen got married eight years later. Princess Zhaoyang was two years younger than her and got married in the same year.

"I have known Princess Yongen since I was a child. When Zhao Baiping died, she was only five years old. After Princess Lao An learned that Zhao Baiping was sentenced to beheading, she committed suicide. Later, at the palace banquet every year, Prince Yongen entered the palace with Mrs. Gu. Mrs. Gu is the palace maid of the Sicha given to Zhao Bai'an by the late emperor. She was ten years older than Zhao Bai'an. Zhao Bai'an had only her, and she didn't even have the official concubine."

Hua Jingyao understood this when she heard this. This old lady Gu is a powerful character. A 25 or 26-year-old palace maid was about to be released from the palace, but she turned into a concubine of the prince and refused to let the prince stand up as the prince.

"This old lady Gu is Zhao Mengyu's biological mother? Is she still alive? Zhao Bai'an, she should not be old yet, why did she let her son succeed to the title?" Hua Jingyao had a series of questions, and she finally understood that Zheng Wan was the daughter of Zhao Baiyun, the prince of Yongen.

Princess Zhaoyang drank a sip of herbal tea, moistened her throat, and continued, "When Mrs. Gu was still in the palace, she served in the Ganqing palace. She had some tricks. She gave birth to Zhao Mengyu less than a year after she married Zhao Bai'an. Zhao Mengyu had just turned one year old and Zhao Bai'an died. She was less than eighteen years old when she died. The late emperor felt sorry for the orphanage and widowed mother. As soon as Zhao Mengyu's filial period was over, he asked him to inherit the title. Mrs. Gu had to take care of her son, but also take care of her younger sister-in-law who was no older than her son. The eldest sister-in-law was a mother. Thanks to her, Princess Yongen could grow up. Mrs. Gu was still alive, but she did not live in Zaoshu Hutong. She usually lived in a village outside the city. The village was given to her by the late emperor when she left the palace.

Hua Jingyao breathed a sigh of relief. She finally understood the affairs of the prince's mansion in Long'an County. No wonder those royal families and nobles were unwilling to get close to them. With this background and experience, who would like to get in touch with them?

However, Hua Jingyao remembers that the Prince of Long'an was doing well in his previous life. Zheng Wan became the favorite concubine and even the queen dared to take action. The Prince of Long'an was like a idle cloud and wild crane and did not participate in the affairs of the court.

"Mom, what's the name of the banquet at their mansion this time? And why do those people stare at you?" Hua Jingyao finally remembered this question.

"That's because I and Princess Yongen are old acquaintances, and they were also close friends in the boudoir. She was also a pitiful person, alas." Princess Zhaoyang said.

"Huh? Princess Yongen has returned to Beijing? She is giving marriage, can she return to Beijing at will?" Hua Jingyao's eyes lit up. Princess Yongen has returned to Beijing. So will Zheng Wan come together?

"She is back to the capital," said the eldest princess Zhaoyang, sighing, "Mr. Zheng Wu passed away a few years ago. After the filial piety period, Princess Yongen wrote a letter back. He wanted to return to the capital, but the emperor did not make any reservation. Until this year, Princess Yongen submitted a memorial again, saying that the river was wet, she suffered from leg disease, and wanted to go back to the capital to recuperate. The emperor finally made an appointment and asked her to return to the capital. This banquet was a welcome banquet prepared for her. The former noble girls in the capital knew that I had a good relationship with her when she was young, so they naturally wanted to look at me, see if I would give me the face to the Longan Prince's Mansion. Humph, these people." Princess Zhaoyang shook her head disdainfully.

"Princess Yongen is back, what about her children? How many children do she have? Can she also go to Beijing together?" Hua Jingyao asked.

"I have told you about your child, Princess Yongen before, why are you interested now?" Princess Zhaoyang smiled.

"Yes, I'm interested. I used to be young and I don't have a memory for a child." Hua Jingyao touched her nose and laughed dryly.

Princess Zhaoyang looked at her daughter with a silly smile. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that her daughter was cute. The daughter she gave birth to was the most cute in the world.

"Princess Yongen has only one daughter, nicknamed Wan'er. Because she is a daughter, the emperor allowed to go back to Beijing together. Zhao Baiyun is a beauty, and the daughter she gave birth to is not ugly. You can get close to her at that time. But don't scare her. After all, she grew up in a small place and has never seen the world. Her mother is a very docile temperament. I think she is the same." Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help laughing again when she said this. Yaoyao used to be a very docile temperament, but now she is lively and eccentric.
