Generally speaking, the location of the prince's palace is generally selected in Yongle Fang, because this place is the closest to the imperial city, and you can go back to the palace at any time to "visit relatives", such as the Wei Wangfu of the Seven Princes, and the palaces of the three princes and the four princes, all of which are in Yongle Fang.

But the princesses are different, because the place of Yongle Fang 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 retreat to the next best and live in a few squares next to Yongle Fang, such as Mingde Fang, Willow Square and other places.

These places, although a little farther away from the imperial city, are also leaning on the edge of Yongle Fang, which is considered the "city center" location of the capital, and the princess mansion of the Ji family is generally selected in these two squares.

But there are also more favored princesses, and the princess's mansion was built in Yongle Fang.

Ji Lingxiu, the ninth princess of the Great Jin Dynasty, is the sister of Ji Wen, the seventh prince, who is about to turn sixteen years old, and she is at the age of leaving the palace to open the palace.

Originally, according to the meaning of the Son of Heaven in Chengde, he wanted to find a way to put a princess mansion for her in Yongle Fang, but there was no spare space in Yongle Fang for the time being, so he hadn't gotten it down.

It is also worth mentioning that the ranking of the royal prince and the princess is separated, the heirs of the Chengde Son of Heaven are prosperous, the Seventh Prince is the seventh son of the Son of Chengde, and the little nine girls are the ninth daughter of the Son of Chengde.

After the Ninth Princess Ji Lingxiu waited outside the dormitory for half an hour, the gray-haired eunuch Chen Ju walked out, bent down at her, and said respectfully: "Ninth Princess, the master asked the old slave to take you in to face the saint." ”

The Great Jin Dynasty is not a master and a slave, and anyone in the entire palace who sees the Son of Chengde will call His Majesty, but the great eunuch Chen Ju, who is the inner eunuch, is the master of the master, and he is the only one in the entire imperial city who has this qualification.

Ji Lingxiu nodded at Chen Ju and said softly, "There is a father-in-law Lao." ”

After that, she followed the big eunuch and walked into the bedroom of the Son of Heaven in Chengde.

In the palace, there is a set of strict rules, and there will never be a TV series like in the TV series, where a princess who has become an adult rushes into the emperor's study at will and pulls the emperor's beard.

In the dormitory, several stoves were burning, and the Son of Heaven of Chengde, who had just woken up from a nap, was wearing the regular clothes of the Son of Heaven, and was sitting on the soft couch, looking at the music, Ji Lingxiu walked in, and Ying Ying bowed.

"The daughter has seen her father."

The Son of Heaven put down the music in his hand and smiled at the Ninth Princess: "Xiao Jiu is here, come and sit and talk." ”

Ji Lingxiu nodded, and sat in front of his father obediently, not so arrogant in Li Xin's house at all.

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

Ji Lingxiu nodded with a smile and said: "My daughter is about to leave the palace, so let Seventh Brother help find a house, and these days I will simply live in Seventh Brother's Mansion, which has been reported to the palace, and my father is not allowed to blame my daughter." ”

According to the rules, the princess is not allowed to leave the palace before she is old, otherwise it will be a violation, but the ninth princess Ji Lingxiu is about to reach the age of sixteen, and at this juncture, it is reasonable to go out and pick the princess's mansion for herself.

Chengde Tianzi said lightly, "um", and said indifferently: "You are a rule-abiding person, and my father did not blame you, a few days ago I wanted to get you a house in Yongle Fang, and the Zongfu also sent someone to urge, but I have not found a suitable one in Yongle Fang, 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: "In Yongle Fang, it has long been full, and there are some people with officials and lords, where is it so easy to find a house, Brother Seventh has been to see several houses these days, but he has not talked about it, what my daughter means is that this princess's mansion is not in Yongle Fang." ”

Imperial power has always had a boundary, it is impossible to do whatever you want, although Emperor Chengde can come forward in person in this matter, as long as he says a word, someone will give up the house from Yongle Fang to his daughter to live, but this kind of thing will lose people's hearts and can not be done easily, or a royal daughter is not worth doing it.

Emperor Chengde smiled softly and said: "Forget if there is no place in Yongle Fang, there should still be a place in the two squares of Mingde and Liushu to open a mansion for you, this is about to be the New Year, tomorrow I will personally send a letter to the Zongfu and ask them to hurry up." ”

Ji Lingxiu said softly: "Father, Mingde Fang and Willow Square are also places where every inch of land is valuable, and it is inevitable to build a princess mansion that will cost the people and money, and the daughter means to be more biased, so that she can save her father a lot of money." ”

Chengde Tianzi smiled dumbly: "When did Xiao Jiu think so much about me?" ”

Ji Lingxiu's face was slightly red, but it soon became normal, she lowered her head and said: "My daughter has been going around in Datongfang a few times in the past few days, and found that Datongfang is a good place, it doesn't cost a lot of money, and it is not too far from the imperial city. ”

After all, there is too little love at first sight in this world, and this ninth princess is only curious about Li Xin for the time being, and the reason why she wants to open a mansion in Datongfang is because she is greedy.

The ninth princess likes food, and many people in the capital know it, otherwise the seventh prince would not have taken her to Li Xin to eat mutton skewers...... 's cooking skills were impressed, so I thought about simply living in Chase Fang.

She wanted to take Li Xin as her cook more than a colt.

Chengde Tianzi frowned, and said softly: "Datongfang, it's too remote, right?" ”

Ji Lingxiu pulled the sleeve of the Son of Chengde and said coquettishly: "Father, it is so easy for the child to take a fancy to a place, you let the child go, this Datongfang was personally selected by the seventh brother, and it was also the seventh brother's consent that the child came to you......"

"What did the seventh look for?"

Chengde Tianzi was slightly surprised.

The words of the ninth princess are, of course, nonsense, and the seventh prince knows nothing about her settling in Datongfang.

Ji Lingxiu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's that Brother Qi found a place in Datongfang, and invited the feng shui master to see it, saying that it is suitable to open a mansion." ”

The four princes who stayed in the capital and were qualified to inherit the throne were all candidates for the heirs of Chengde Tianzi, among which the old Qiwei Wang, who did everything in his work, was a man who was not leaky, and had some means, so Chengde Tianzi liked this son quite much.

Hearing that it was the Seventh Prince who nodded, the Son of Chengde was slightly shaken.

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

The ninth princess cheered, thanked the Chengde Heavenly Son, and then went happily.

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

A moment later, he summoned the great eunuch Chen Ju.

"Chen Ju, go and let Dong Cheng check what the Ninth Princess has done during this time and who she has come into contact with."

The great eunuch bowed respectfully.

"The old slave obeys."
