All Hail Cousin Brother

Eunuch Li quickly said: "My lord, if you were still in the capital, you would have drank this year's new tea."

Along the way, the Yuyuan where Princess Shaoyi lived looked pretty good, but from his perspective, Yuyuan looked rough.

The flowers and trees in the garden are all ordinary flowers and trees that are cold and drought-resistant in Liaodong, and they are not as good as the exotic flowers and plants in Beijing.

Moreover, because Liaodong is still cold and humid, even the wood used in the house is mostly moisture-resistant elm, which is more delicate and delicate than various sandalwood, rosewood, agarwood and other precious woods.

You know, Shaoyi County is mainly located in Jingli, and the food and clothing costs are comparable to those in the palace. However, Liaodong is bitterly cold and has limited conditions, so it is definitely not as good as Jingli.

It can be seen that Princess Shaoyi's life in Liaodong was not very easy, but she suffered a lot.

The nobles in the palace will definitely ask about Princess Shaoyi's situation in Liaodong, and they will be able to tell them something.

Thinking like this in his heart, Eunuch Li did not express it on his face: "When I came here this time, the Queen Mother gave tribute to new teas from various places, and the princess gave it a try, but our family felt that the cinnamon tea made by the princess herself , the tea has a sharp and long-lasting aroma, is mellow and fresh, and has quite a taste.”

Compared with tribute tea, although jade osmanthus tea is a little less sophisticated, the rare thing is that this tea has a unique and novel taste, and it is a herbal tea prepared by Princess Shaoyi herself, which makes it extraordinary.

"The Queen Mother is still thinking about me," Yu Youyao showed a flattered expression, and then she changed the subject: "It just so happened that I also prepared some things to show my respect to her, so my father-in-law brought them back to the palace. "

Eunuch Li quickly responded.

The two chatted over a cup of tea. On the surface, it was just gossip, but the deep meaning inside was understood by everyone who knew it.

An "ulterior motive", both inside and outside the words revealed the great love and concern of the nobles in the palace for Princess Shaoyi, as small as this year's tribute tea, as big as knowing that Princess Shaoyi had been wronged in Liaodong and had already Mr. Han Ge was imprisoned in his house.

A person who "knows the elegant meaning after hearing the strings" made a flattered expression and expressed his gratitude to the Queen Mother and his loyalty to the court in and out of his words, which fully demonstrated the loyalty and integrity that Yu's daughter should have.

Both sides come and go.

After both parties consciously expressed clearly what they wanted to express, and at the same time were very satisfied with the attitudes expressed by each other, this "mysterious" conversation finally came to an end.

Eunuch Li smiled with satisfaction and then stood up: "It's getting late. We should read out the Queen Mother's decree. We can't miss the time."

Yu Youyao immediately stood up and led the Xie family to kneel down in the hall to listen to the order.

This was actually a decree to grant him a title.

Yu Youyao's title was changed from "Yicong Shengzun First Grade Princess" to "Yi Zhaozun Zhengchao Grade Princess", and her status was raised by more than one level.

What is issued by the emperor is called an imperial edict.

The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother issued the decree called Yizhi.

Generally speaking, all the edicts for ministers and their family members are issued by the emperor himself. The emperor's ministers draft the content and details based on the oral edict. After the emperor reads it, there is no problem with the words and sentences, and the holy meaning is expressed very clearly. If it is clear and there is no bias or uncertainty, he will personally draft the decree and issue it.

Today, the emperor is sealed in the palace and cannot leave the palace. The affairs of the court are handled by the empress dowager. The decree is issued by the empress dowager, and the empress dowager issues it. Although it is still a Yi edict, in order to carry out the edict, the imperial edict is equipped with the power of the dragon. Not only must the phoenix seal be stamped, but also a seal seal must be stamped to represent this purpose. This is the emperor's instruction, and the descendants of the queen mother will convey it to the emperor.

Not only Yu Youyao was shocked, but Eunuch Li who announced the decree was also shocked.

The emperor's sisters can be granted the title of [eldest princess].

Only the emperor's aunt can be given the title of [eldest princess].

Only the emperor's aunt can be granted the title of "Princess Princess".

There was no news in the palace about such a big event, and Ji Lian always thought that this was just a decree from the court to reward him.

Eunuch Li was horrified. He had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't dare to reveal them at all.

Yu Youyao knelt down respectfully and listened to the order.

Yizhao Zunzheng is a superior princess. The longer the title, the more valuable the status.

"Yi" is a title;

"Zhao" is the title given to the daughter of the current emperor. There are currently only three princesses in the palace. Except for Princess Liyang, the other two princesses all use "Zhao" as their title.

For example, Concubine Lan's daughter was given the title of Princess Zhaoping;

However, there are many princesses in history who do not need specific titles. Some princesses who are particularly favored are often given more distinguished titles.

It can’t be decided in a general way.

The titles are divided into three, six or nine grades. The grades are the same but the grades are different. Naturally, the higher the grade, the more noble the status.

The grades are the same, but the higher the grade, the higher the status.

"Zunzheng" refers to the classification of grades, which is the first level of Zhengzheng, the highest level among all grades;

"Super grade" refers to the grade, and above the first grade, it is super grade;

The emperor's daughters are all of imperial rank. For example, Princess Zhaoping is the first-class princess of Zhao Conghuang, and her status is the first-class emperor's first-class princess.

On top of the royal items, there are imperial items such as the eldest princess.

Above the imperial grade, there are also super grades, such as the eldest princess.

Below the imperial rank is the holy rank, such as Princess Shaoyi, who is a first-class holy princess. Her rank is the same as Princess Zhaoping, but her rank is one head lower than Princess Zhaoping.

The position is: from the first-class holy to the first-class princess.

But whether the title of the clan is noble or not depends first on the rank, and then on the grade, but after that, it also depends on the title. There is a "yi" character in Yu Youyao's title, so his status will naturally increase with time.

But now, her title has been directly promoted to more than one position.

"Yi" became "Yizhao", and she enjoyed a special title only reserved for princesses of the dynasty.

"Cong" became "Zunzheng", from the first-class subordinate to the first-class principal. This is the rank that only the princess can have.

The "Holy Lord" grade directly surpassed the Imperial Grade and Royal Grade and became the highest "Super Grade".

In front of "Princess Princess", another word "长" is added, changing from Princess Princess to "Princess Princess Chang". The difference of one word means a huge difference in status. This dynasty emphasizes the importance of direct descendants and elders, as long as one can be deducted The word "long" has an extraordinary status.

Throughout the dynasties, only the emperor's sisters could be granted the title of "eldest brother", but there was a special case where they had made great contributions to the court and were granted an exceptional title.

Like marrying a princess.

But this kind of situation is rarely seen in history books.

The Empress Dowager set a precedent for Princess Shao Yichang, and she also granted an exceptional title, directly becoming the most noble person in the Zhou Dynasty, besides the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress.

King Wu Mu still needs to stay behind.

From now on, the title of Princess Shaoyi will be changed again.

Eunuch Li's attitude lowered a little, and his tone became flattering: "Princess Shaoyi, please accept the order!"

The title of Princess Chang is based on history, but some details have been changed. Please don’t get too particular about it. However, the title of Princess Chang is actually a title only given to the daughter of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager experienced three generations of kings. , the titles of her daughters will also change with each generation of emperors. Those who are granted the title of princess princess are all relatively older and have high seniority. Even the princess is shorter, with more than one head, only You need to salute and say hello to the Queen Mother, Queen, and Emperor.

However, here, the female protagonist is in a special situation, and she is granted the title of princess. This situation did not happen after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but in fact, before that, there were no clear-cut titles for the eldest princess, princess, princess, etc. standard!
