Chapter 563: Solemn
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the concubine of the chief of the Protector's Mansion, Meng Shiguanshuang, gentle and virtuous, dignified appearance, specially married to my ninth beloved son Jing Xuan as the concubine......"
Meng Guanshuang didn't know how she received this holy decree, and she didn't know how she returned to her room, she didn't have the strength to move when she lay on the bed, and what kept turning and replaying in her mind was the situation when Zhou Hai read the holy decree, and the word by word hit the brain stem, deep in her heart.
This marriage decree naturally caused an uproar in the Deguo Mansion, some were excited and sincerely congratulated, some were coldly watching each pregnant with ghosts, and she was in a dream.
She knew that Xu Jingxuan was constantly trying to persuade the emperor for their future, but the good results so soon made her unsure.
At Xu Jingxuan's birthday banquet last year, the emperor's deliberate embarrassment was real, and the hostility exuded from the majestic dragon face was absolutely genuine, but in three or four months, he really let go of his prejudices against himself and promised his son?
Although she didn't understand where she had made the high-ranking Ninety-Five Venerable have prejudices, that person's dislike for herself was very clear.
The palms of her hands were inexplicably sweaty, and she realized that her body was trembling inexplicably.
"Girl, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so ugly? Kikyo, who had celebrated with the maids in the yard outside the house, returned to the room and found that Meng Guanshuang's face was wrong, and immediately asked with concern, and raised his hand to touch her forehead. Worried she had a fever.
Meng Guanshuang didn't resist, only looked up at the bellflower and asked, "Bellflower, you said, the holy decree of Fang Cai is true, isn't it me dreaming?" ”
Kikyo laughed when he heard this, and he didn't notice that his master was sick with a fever, so he laughed and teased: "Girl, don't you think it's too incredible to be so depressed!" In fact, the slave maid thinks that it is a matter of time before the emperor gives you and His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes a marriage. I've been prepared for a long time! ”
Kikyo is telling the truth. When she broke through the Nine Emperor Princes and sneaked into the Bai family in the middle of the night to have a private meeting with the girl, she knew that the Nine Emperor Princes really liked their masters.
Moreover, in her eyes, the girl is the only person in this world who can be worthy of the Nine Emperor Princes. So there was only joy and no surprise!
"So let's say. I'm not dreaming? Is it true that the emperor decreed marriage? Meng Guanshuang's head was buried in the crook of his arm again. As if muttering to himself.
"Of course it's true!" Kikyo smiled, "At this time, the whole house is celebrating!" The old lady also passed the word. Tonight, we will hold a banquet in the mansion to celebrate the good things you and the Nine Emperor Princes are about to accomplish! The eldest lady also asked Wanshou to pass the good news back to the Bai family, and invited Mr., Mrs. and the eldest young master to come to the banquet with Miss Xiaoxiao! ”
At this time, the backyard of the Guogong Mansion was indeed jubilant and jubilant.
Because Xu Jingxuan is ranked ninth, there are still six princes, seven princes, and eight princes who are not married, except for the seventh prince who was once again spurned and ignored by the emperor and never pointed to marriage, this time the marriage of the eighth prince must not have any more twists and turns.
Therefore, the marriage of Xu Jingxuan and Meng Guanshuang is ranked after the sixth prince and the eighth prince, that is to say, in the second half of this year, the three princes of the royal family will get married in a stepped manner, and the capital will be lively.
It's just that in the hall in the front yard, the three brothers of the Meng family are in the same room, but there is a little solemnity on their faces.
"Big brother, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" It was Meng Shang who spoke first, and the melancholy on his face was more obvious than that of his two elder brothers.
Meng Chen disagreed, and secretly said with a hint of jealousy: "What's the point of this, it's just that the emperor values our Guogong Mansion and asks for our two nieces!" ”
It's a pity that the two daughters he gave birth to are younger, otherwise how could they fight.
Meng Tang glanced at Meng Chen and didn't speak.
Meng Shang said again: "The eldest brother now has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and there are 20,000 well-trained generals, and he has made countless meritorious contributions earlier, so it is natural that he can be valued and favored by the emperor!" It's just that there are two princesses and concubines in the same door, and it is a special period when the palaces and ministers of the court and the central government are preparing to choose a team, so this marriage decree of the emperor has not pushed our national mansion to the cusp? ”
Meng Tang lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think, and when he raised his eyes, he looked at Meng Shang and said, "The third brother is worried!" The third brother and daughter-in-law married you back then, although it was the master of the emperor, but during this time, we all knew that it was indispensable to help the current prince at that time.
He wanted to marry his eldest daughter to you regardless of the difference in seniority, in order to help him win the throne because of the military power and prestige in the hands of our Protectorate Mansion at that time.
Last year, the emperor appointed Yue'er to marry, and I suspected that he had already decided to be the prince in his heart, and it must be the sixth prince who is now very famous and loved by the people.
However, if this holy decree comes down to our Guogong Mansion today, I really can't guess the emperor's thoughts! ”
In the end, Meng Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly.
If such a favor is placed in any family, it can probably make that family overjoyed and forgetful, but in his eyes, this once-prosperous honor may be an unfathomable point in the king's heart.
If you guess correctly, the family will be happy, but if you can't guess correctly, the consequences will ......
Meng Chen looked left and right at one brother and one brother, and said with a smile: "Big brother, third brother, are you thinking too much, the two sisters are married to the prince at the same time, this is a good thing, it is a supreme honor, how did you come here, you think so much!" ”
"Second brother, it's not that we think too much, it's really very angry at this time, and we have to think one more step, lest things come to an end, if there are no countermeasures, it may be a situation from which there will be no return!" Meng Shang said heavily.
"Whew! Third brother, since you married the princess, why has your courage become smaller and smaller, and you don't have the courage to look ahead and backward in everything? Meng Chen said disapprehantly, "And big brother, you are really right." The glory earned by our Guogong Mansion and the heavy troops in your hands are not something that others can calculate if they want to! Besides, since the emperor let the two princes marry our national mansion, is it possible that the prince will still be against his father-in-law's family? ”
Regarding Meng Chen's optimism or carelessness, Meng Shang shook his head and recalled: "Second brother, do you remember who once said that women are like clothes, they are uncomfortable to wear, or they are old, just change them?" (To be continued......)
