Chapter 90: Marriage by Divine Decree
Thank you SSS Xiaoxuehua for rewarding the zongzi, what......
*************
This kind of instability made Qing Jin eager to meet her cousin Jun Muxi to calm down some uneasy feelings.
Thinking of what Mandarin Duck just said, the emperor invited the ministers in another hall, so cousin Jun Muxi, as a descendant of the Jun family, will definitely participate in the banquet, thinking like this, she made a gesture to the Mandarin Duck behind her, Mandarin Duck saw her girl's gesture leaned over, and her ear came to Qing Jin's mouth, Qing Jin turned sideways and carefully commanded a few words in Mandarin Duck's ear, after hearing Qing Jin's words, Mandarin Duck nodded to Qing Jin and quietly walked out of the hall.
However, Qing Jin still didn't see Jun Muxi in the end that day.
Then, soon after the birthday of the Queen Mother, Emperor Ming officially decreed that the princes would be knighted, the second prince would be King An, the third prince Long Hanyuan would be King Jing, the fourth prince would be King Le, the fifth prince would be King Shou, the sixth prince Long Shuyuan would be King Ning, the seventh prince would be King Rui, and the youngest eighth prince would also be crowned King Fu, and then there would be a lively prince - no, it should be said that the prince, the prince moved to a new residence, and lived in another house.
In the capital, because of the opening of the princes, the nobles moved more frequently, and the banquets were also one after another.
Anji Hou Mansion, Chaoxia Courtyard, early in the morning, Shen woke up from his sleep, in a trance I don't know what dream I had last night, it was a good dream, but when I opened my eyes, I couldn't remember what I dreamed of, listening to the crisp birdsong outside, I asked Mama Wang next to me, "Mama Wang, why is it so noisy outside today!" β
Hearing Shen's words, Mama Wang walked to the window, looked at the birds that didn't know when they fell on the branches, and said, "Speaking of which, these birds have been crowing here early this morning, old lady, do you want to sleep for a while?" β
Shen heard Mama Wang's words. Roll over and sit up, "Don't sleep, don't sleep, people just can't sleep when they're old." β
When Mama Wang heard Shen's words, she stepped forward to help Shen up from the couch and said, "Are you not old?" The girls are not married, and the young masters are not married, how can they be said to be old! β
"As far as you can speak, in the blink of an eye, my grandson and granddaughter are so old, me. It's time to be old, and you can't be old. Shen said with some emotion.
When Mama Wang heard Shen's words, she didn't say anything, and helped Shen wash and dress, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. After dressing Shen Shi, he combed Shen's hair and sideburns in front of the bronze mirror.
I saw Mama Wang's combed hair and sideburns. Shen looked carefully in the mirror. After half a ring, he said with satisfaction: "It's still your combed hair that satisfies me." β
"That's the old lady, you raised the old slave, the old slave has served the old lady for so many years, if you don't do these things well, the old slave should be ashamed to go home to support the elderly." Hearing Shen's words, Mama Wang was modest, but she couldn't help but feel joy in the corners of her eyes.
"That's right. What's going on with the birds outside? Shen turned around and asked.
"The old slave just saw it, it's a magpie, and people say that the magpie is called auspicious, and the magpie announces good news. Maybe today we have a distinguished guest in Anjihou Mansion or a big happy event! β
"You, you can speak, what kind of guests and happy events can you have!" When Shen said this, he thought of the previous visits of the three princes and the six princes, what other distinguished guests could be bigger than the prince, and then thought of the happy event, and thought of the queen mother's love for her granddaughter Qingyao at the previous queen mother's birthday banquet.
Some time ago, I heard that the emperor had divided the titles for the princes, although I thought that the emperor might marry his granddaughter, but the princes were all knighted, and I didn't know about the granddaughter's marriage......
At this time, Chu Liu hurriedly walked in from outside and said to the Shen family in the house: "Old lady, there is a holy decree, and the father-in-law in the palace has come to pass the holy decree......
When Shen heard Chu Liu's words, he turned his head and glanced at Mama Wang.
Mama Wang said to Shen with excitement in her eyes: "Old lady, Bodhisattva bless, great joy!" β
When Shen heard Mama Wang's words, he was overjoyed, stood up, and said to Mama Wang and Chu Liu: "Go, you follow me to receive the holy decree." β
"Hey." When Mama Wang heard Shen's words, she immediately walked to Shen's side, and Chu Liu over there also came over, and after the two of them sorted out Shen's clothes, Shen's support rushed to the hall of Anjihou's mansion.
In the hall of the Anjihou Mansion, all the masters of the Anjihou Mansion were gathered, and after the Shen family arrived, everyone knelt down under the leadership of the Shen family to listen to the decree.
ββ¦β¦ Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said: I heard that Gu Qingyao, the daughter of Gu Huaiyi of the Marquis of Anji, was gentle and generous, beautiful and wise, and had outstanding appearance, and the Queen Mother and I were very happy to hear it. β¦β¦ Now the sixth son of the emperor, King Ning, is an adult, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. Gu Qingyao, the daughter of Gu Huaiyi, is in the boudoir, and King Ning can be called heaven and earth, in order to become a beautiful woman, Gu Qingyao will be specially matched with King Ning as the princess......"
After listening to the holy decree, the people of the Anji Hou Mansion, including Qing Jin, knelt down to thank the emperor, and the father-in-law smiled and handed the holy decree in his hand to Gu Qingyao's hand, Qing Yao lowered his eyes, covered the joy in his eyes, and bowed to the holy decree in the hand of the father-in-law: "The courtiers thank the emperor!" Then he took the decree from his father-in-law.
At the same time, he stuffed a silver ticket to the father-in-law who passed the decree, and the father-in-law quietly put the silver ticket handed over by Gu Qingyao into his sleeve, and said to Qingyao with a courteous smile on his face: "Our family congratulates Princess Ning!" β
Hearing her father-in-law call her Princess Ning, Qing Yao's eyes were indifferent, and she politely said to her father-in-law: "Thank you, father-in-law, father-in-law should be an old man in the palace, and I will take care of my father-in-law in the future, and I hope my father-in-law will remind me in time if there is anything wrong." After speaking, he gave his father-in-law a ingot, and his father-in-law accepted the ingot, smiled more and more kindly at Qing Yao, and replied to Qing Yao: "Certainly, definitely!" β
Qing Yao smiled at her father-in-law, and just when she wanted to stand up, suddenly, her father-in-law's face turned pale, and he took out another holy decree from his arms, and said to the people in the Anji Hou Mansion who were kneeling: "By the way, there is another holy decree for your mansion, which almost made our family forget, but fortunately I remembered it in time." β
Hearing the words of the father-in-law, the people kneeling below were about to get up and kneel down again, and looked at each other without a trace of confusion, and the same confusion was revealed in their eyes, how could there be a holy decree?
ββ¦β¦ Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said: I heard that Gu Qingjin, the daughter of the Marquis of Anji, is dignified and elegant, wise and generous, and has both ability and political integrity...... The special general Gu Qingjin was allowed to marry the third prince King Jing as a side concubine, and gave the title Zhen ......"
Qing Jin, who was kneeling with her head down, heard this, and raised her head in shock to look at her father-in-law who read out the holy decree, the side concubine? Bestow the name? What's going on? Obviously, she and her cousin Jun Muxi have already made a marriage, and the marriage should also be the marriage decree of her and her cousin Jun Muxi, how can it be......
Everyone in the Anji Hou Mansion, including the Shen family, couldn't help but be shocked when they heard this holy decree, "Wait......" A crisp female voice spoke.
The father-in-law raised his head from the reading of the holy decree, frowned and looked at the person who spoke up, interrupting the reading of the holy decree, this is a crime of disrespect, and the Anji Hou Mansion wants to ......
The person who searched for the voice turned out to be Princess Ning, who had just been married to King Ning, and her father-in-law's frowning eyebrows spread out, and he asked Qing Yao who was exiting, "Does Princess Ning have any questions?" β
"Father-in-law, is this holy decree ......" is wrong, Qing Yao was about to ask.
Shen raised his head and interrupted Qing Yao's words: "Yao'er......" Qing Yao heard her grandmother Shen speak, and shut up in time, and Shen opened her mouth and said to her father-in-law: "Father-in-law, my granddaughter Qingjin and ......"
"Old Madam Gu, this holy decree was handed over to our family by Gonggong Zhang next to the emperor, if Old Madam Gu and the people in your mansion have any doubts, please wait for our family to read out the holy will, after all, our family is just an errand runner, even if everyone has doubts, our family can't answer it, and please don't embarrass our family......
Shen Shi fell silent when he heard the words of his father-in-law.
Gu Huaili came back to his senses from the shock just now, and immediately said to Shen Shi Yinghe and the father-in-law: "Yes, mother, we still took the holy ......decree first" The ecstasy in his eyes could not be concealed, he originally thought that he would try to find a way to send the concubine to the prince's backyard, but he didn't expect the emperor to marry Jin'er and the third prince, or a side concubine with a title, in the history of Dajing, a side concubine with a title is equivalent to a concubine Ping, this is really ......
When Shen heard his eldest son's words, he glanced at his shocked granddaughter Qing Jin and lowered his head.
Seeing that no one spoke anymore, the father-in-law immediately took out the holy decree and prepared to continue, and Qing Jin, who reacted at this time, finally came back to her senses and "slow down......"
"Is there anything else Miss Gu wants to say?" There was a hint of anger in the father-in-law's words, and he was interrupted again and again, which is simply ...... If it weren't for the fact that there had just been a princess in the Anji Marquis Mansion, he might have immediately had the person who interrupted his decree taken into custody for the crime of disrespect and blatant disobedience.
"Father-in-law, the courtier's daughter Gu Qingjin can't accept the order, the courtier's daughter already has a ......"
"Gu Qingjin!" Shen's voice was full of majesty.
Hearing her grandmother Shen's voice, Qing Jin turned her head, looked at her grandmother Shen, and shouted, "Grandmother ......"
Shen's eyes were full of prudence, she was also wondering about this holy decree just now, I don't know how the emperor could make such a holy decree, but since the emperor dared to make this holy decree publicly, that is, the marriage between Qing Jin and the eldest daughter-in-law's nephew, there must be something wrong in it, and this reason is enough for the emperor to make this holy decree in a righteous and bright way, she also has many doubts in her heart at this time, but since the emperor has issued an edict, even if there is any reason for it, the emperor has not sued them, and the Anji Marquis Mansion cannot openly resist the decree.
Shen looked at Qing Jin, swept the people in the hall, and finally looked at Qing Jin with deep meaning, she was telling sΓΉ this granddaughter, bear with it, at least you have to take this holy decree first, Anji Hou Mansion must not bear the name of openly resisting the decree, and take the decree Grandmother will accompany you into the palace to see the emperor, and then we will ask the emperor why.
