Chapter 681: Jade and Stone (Seventh Shift Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Because they were concubines for the imperial grandson, the Marquis of Changxing Mansion and the Marquis of Wanning Mansion posted a lot of dowries to the two girls for the sake of face.
Especially Murong Zi of the Marquis of Changxing, she is just a stepdaughter, and Lu Ruifeng has always been distressed about giving her so much dowry.
It's a pity that the emperor's order is difficult to do.
And those dowries were sent to Xiao Lei early, and at that time it was said that they would enter the East Palace as soon as they became married, so more than 100 dowries were carried directly to the East Palace.
In fact, more than half of the dowry given to Xiao Lei by the royal family at that time was brought into the royal family as a dowry.
Now His Majesty said that the dowry does not have to be returned, but there is no mention of the dowry, men may not care about these trivial matters, but women are different.
Especially Lu Ruifeng, she has no children in her life, and she is particularly concerned about these things outside her body.
When the chief eunuch saw that Mrs. Changxinghou asked about the dowry, he thought that the dowry had already been carried over, and since he had withdrawn from the marriage, he naturally had to return it.
The man withdraws from the marriage, of course, the dowry has no face to come back, but the dowry of the woman's dowry must be returned, otherwise the man has no face and will be scolded by people pointing at his backbone.
The chief eunuch hurriedly said: "The dowry naturally has to be repaid, and it has not moved in the East Palace." When the Sprinkle family returns to the palace to show His Majesty, they will naturally send it back. ”
Lu Ruifeng nodded and watched the chief eunuch leave.
The chief eunuch left the Marquis of Changxing's mansion and soon turned to the Marquis of Wanning's mansion.
Ning Danyi of Wanning Hou Mansion is not adoptive, and the mother-daughter relationship is naturally not ordinary.
The chief eunuch successfully issued a decree to enshrine Ning Danyi as the holy decree of the county lord of Chengping. The Geng post and other things that have been married to her were returned to her, and she said that the dowry does not need to be returned.
Mrs. Wanninghou was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, only knowing that her daughter didn't have to be a concubine. It's too late to rejoice, where is the question of the dowry? thanked the chief eunuch and stuffed him with a big red envelope.
The chief eunuch sighed at the difference between his mother and his stepmother, and returned to the palace to report the news.
Emperor Yuan Hong was in a good mood, and the next day, when the court meeting, he took the initiative to issue an edict to promulgate the world without waiting for Xie Dongli and them to ask.
first announced the abolition of Yuan Chenlei's position as the emperor's grandson. He also said that the Eastern Yuan Kingdom would no longer establish an emperor and grandson, and everything would be subject to his edict. At the same time, it was announced that Concubine Wan gave birth to a son last year and had just been taken back to the palace. Now there is joy again, the merit is in Sheji, and she is promoted to the imperial concubine. The Jade Emperor was crowned Prince Yu and rewarded the prince's mansion.
Harem promotion. As long as it's not a queen. There is no need to go through the seal of the Prime Minister's Pavilion, so Wan Guifei was promoted to the imperial concubine, and the prime minister and deputy ministers did not know.
Hearing Emperor Yuan Hong announce that he had another son, Xie Dongli and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng were not surprised, but they shocked other people in the court.
The ministers looked at each other for a while, not knowing which one Emperor Yuan Hong was singing......
The biggest shortcoming of their royal family in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom is the scarcity of heirs.
Qi Xueyun, the queen who was previously married by the Northern Qi Kingdom, was a seedling on a thousand acres of land, and she almost died of an heir.
Now Emperor Yuan Hong is almost seventy. And another son popped up.
Just when he was confused, there was already a eunuch outside who announced: "Emperor Wan's concubine and the Jade Emperor have arrived!" ”
Wan Guifei was promoted to the throne of the imperial concubine. It was sent to the palace of Wan Guifei early, and a full set of imperial concubine auspicious clothes, honor guards and head faces.
Concubine Wan's son Yu'er also hurriedly picked up from her mother's house last night.
The mother and son haven't seen each other for a year, and they quickly became intimate.
This is the natural mother-child connection.
Xie Dongli quietly gave way to the golden pillar of the dragon in the Baohe Palace, and stood in the shadows.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and Shen Xiaoxiang stood in front of him, looking at Emperor Wan's concubine with a very unkind look on her face, holding her stomach up, raising her head and walking forward step by step, followed by the nurse holding a little prince with pink makeup.
It was the first time that Emperor Wan came to this Baohe Palace, which symbolized the supreme power of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
She has gone from being the daughter of a county magistrate to now being almost above 10,000 people, and she has her own hard work.
But the hard work is always worth it.
I used to think that there was no hope, Emperor Yuanhong was so old that it was impossible to regenerate.
Ke Sheng's family is so powerful that they actually gave the emperor a child......
The corner of Emperor Wan's lips showed a gentle smile, one hand touched her belly, came to the throne of Emperor Yuanhong, half-squatted down and saluted: "Wan knock to see my emperor." Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
"The concubine is flat." Emperor Yuanhong smiled happily and waved his hand: "Awarded the golden book of the imperial concubine, and the harem will be handed over to you to take care of in the future." ”
This is not a queen, it is better than a queen.
Personally awarded the gold book at the Baohe Hall of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and directly followed the queen who came in from the main gate.
Emperor Wan's concubine suppressed the excitement in her heart, kowtowed a few more times, and then took the golden book and got up with the palace maid's hand.
Emperor Yuan Hong said to the ministers in the court: "This is my youngest son Yu'er, who is less than a year old and was born at the end of last year. Although his voice was calm, his tone was full of pride and pride.
There was silence in the Baohe Palace, and no one congratulated Emperor Wan on her promotion, nor did she ask the little prince An.
Emperor Wan's face gradually became a little unsightly.
Emperor Yuan Hong glanced at the courtiers and said with a smile: "What do you think? ”
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty! Everyone had no choice but to raise the wat board and say with a smile.
Prime Minister Shen's face was so red that he could drip blood.
sacrificed his daughter's whole life, only in exchange for such a result of making wedding clothes for others.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear." Prime Minister Shen Dacheng couldn't swallow this breath, came out of the crowd, and asked.
"Oh? What is wrong with Shen Aiqing? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister remembers that in the palace, there is no record of this Jade Prince. Suddenly brought back from outside the palace, can Your Majesty test his bloodline? Prime Minister Shen asked unceremoniously.
This is questioning whether the Jade Emperor is the species of Emperor Yuan Hong.
All the ministers had this doubt in their hearts, but no one had the courage to ask Prime Minister Shen Dacheng.
Emperor Wan's concubine was trembling with anger, and she couldn't help but take a step forward and said, "Prime Minister Shen, what do you mean by this?" ”
Emperor Yuan Hong raised his hand. stopped Emperor Wan's concubine from speaking, hummed without yin or yang, and said to Prime Minister Shen Dacheng: "There is a reason for this. I can vouch for this, this child is definitely my species. ”
"But he was born outside the palace and grew up outside the palace, and he was suddenly brought back and was named a prince and a prince, is it inappropriate?" When Prime Minister Shen Dacheng thought that Xiao Lei was deposed as the crown prince, he couldn't even keep a prince's mansion, and he was almost driven out. I couldn't stop feeling uncomfortable, it turned out that I wanted to give way to this infant prince......
Emperor Yuan Hong smiled and raised his gray eyebrows. Said slowly: "Wrong? Shen Aiqing, have you forgotten that Situ Jianren was also raised outside the palace by me, and he didn't recognize his ancestors until he was in his thirties. At that time. Why didn't Shen Aiqing question his bloodline? ”
The implication. is to question the bloodline of the Jade Emperor, then Situ Jianren is not his biological son, and Xiao Lei and Ying Sleeve are not qualified to inherit the throne.
So the bloodline of this Jade Emperor is beyond doubt.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng was countered by Emperor Yuan Hong, and almost vomited blood.
Xie Dongli had already thought of this stubble, so he didn't mix it at all, but just stood behind the ministers and watched coldly.
The chief eunuch hurriedly came over to play a round game: "This child is indeed His Majesty's seed, you can see his eyebrows and eyes, almost exactly the same as His Majesty." - Emperor Wan's concubine. Are you sitting here? ”
In fact, how can a child who is less than a year old see what he looks like?
The main purpose of the chief eunuch. In fact, I want everyone to see that there is another one in the belly of Emperor Wan's concubine. If you can give birth to one, you can give birth to a second. Emperor Yuan Hong is nearly seventy years old and can still raise a young son, this ability is really extraordinary.
Everyone had no choice but to keep silent.
Emperor Yuan Hong coughed, and said: "Prime Minister Shen Dacheng has resigned several times, and he wants to retire from the elderly, but I can't keep it, so I have to allow it." I appointed Xie Dongli as the prime minister, and Shen Weimin could be appointed as the deputy prime minister. ”
elevated Xie Dongli, dismissed Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, and graced Prime Minister Shen's son, which can be regarded as a dozen and one pull.
Xie Dongli walked out from behind the ministers and bowed to Emperor Yuanhong: "Your Majesty Longen." ”
"The twenty-eight-year-old prime minister, since the founding of our Eastern Yuan Kingdom, can be regarded as unique." Emperor Yuan Hong said with a smile, "Xie Aiqing is flat, I will be on an errand in the future, and I will look at you in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom." As he spoke, he glanced at Prime Minister Shen Dacheng again.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng trembled and knelt down to kneel down with the hem of his robe and kowtow to thank him.
Shen Weimin, the second master of the Shen family, also knelt beside his father, kneeling three times and bowing nine times.
Emperor Wan's concubine looked at this group of courtiers who were high up in the past and now knelt at her feet, and she only felt a mouthful of turbidity coming out of her chest for many years.
Her gaze stayed on Xie Dongli's handsome side face for a moment, then she slid away faintly and looked at the white smoke rising from the mouth of the bronze crane incense burner opposite Emperor Yuanhong's throne.
"All Aiqing is flat! Today, there are many happy events in the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and a banquet has been prepared in the palace. Emperor Yuan Hong laughed and clapped his palms twice.
A group of palace ladies rushed in, carrying a low table and placing it on both sides of the main hall, and the eunuchs came over with countless futons and put them behind the low table.
The minister could only sit cross-legged behind the low table and watch the ladies bring up plate after plate of dishes.
Xie Dongli sat in the first position on the lower left under the throne of Emperor Yuanhong Danqi.
Emperor Wan's concubine sat opposite him, the first position under the throne of Emperor Yuanhong Danqi.
Emperor Yuan Hong looked at Xie Dongli with a smile, and said: "Xie Aiqing is diligent in state affairs, and people are intelligent, which is the blessing of my Dongyuan country." ”
Xie Dongli raised his wine glass and said to Emperor Yuanhong: "Weichen respects Your Majesty with a glass, and wishes Your Majesty happiness such as the East China Sea, Shoubi Nanshan, and many sons and blessings." As he spoke, he drank it all.
The smile on Emperor Yuanhong's face deepened, and he also drank this glass of wine before he said to Emperor Wan's concubine: "Yu'er is already hungry, you can take him down." ”
Seeing that Xie Dongli was silent, Emperor Wan's concubine felt a little uneasy, but she didn't dare to show it, and said to Emperor Yuanhong respectfully: "The concubine has gone back." Your Majesty should also take care. With that, he took the Jade Emperor and left the Baohe Palace.
The feast lasted until late at night.
Ying Sleeve waited until Xie Dongli came back, and heard that Emperor Yuan Hong suddenly had an extra son, and named him Yu, he couldn't help but be furious, and said angrily: "This is deliberate, right?" Xiao Lei is a rough stone, he is a precious jade, this is stepping on people to death! What's going on with Concubine Wan? Do you think it's great to have a son? ”
