Chapter 526: The Divine Decree
Concubine Hai was worried that the Hai family would affect the position of the head of the Hai family in the court because of Wang Meijing and Gu Chengyuan's family affairs, so she deliberately went back to the Hai family secretly.
However, after the two siblings met, they talked for less than a quarter of an hour, and Concubine Hai walked out of the Hai family, and then returned to the palace.
After Concubine Hai returned to the palace to change her clothes, she went straight to the imperial study and asked the emperor for a holy decree.
At this time in Haifu, Prince An Gu Chengyuan personally sent Wang Meijing back, Mrs. Hai hurried to the front hall, as soon as she saw Wang Meijing who was disfigured, tears fell, she took Wang Meijing's hand and cried silently.
Wang Meijing is calm and terrible, she has already experienced it when she is most devastated, no one knows the despair and pain at the moment when her face was destroyed by the soldering iron, at this moment she only has resentment towards Haifu, if it weren't for Haifu handing her over to Qin Yenan, how could she have suffered so much, if it wasn't for the fact that she had nowhere to go now and had to return to Haifu, how could she come back?
"Child, it's all your mother's fault, it's your mother who didn't protect you." Mrs. Hai was already guilty of Wang Meijing, and now she is even more guilty.
After the Hai family master walked out, he glanced at Wang Meijing expressionlessly, and then slapped him without hesitation, this slap was quite unexpected by everyone, so that Mrs. Hai didn't react at first, after she reacted, she hurriedly yelled at the Hai family master: "Are you crazy?" Others don't know Jingtan's identity, but is it possible that you don't know either? She's your daughter! Now that her appearance is completely ruined, you still beat her? ”
Prince An also stepped forward, blocked in front of the Hai family master, and said, "Lord Hai, why is this so. ”
The head of the Hai family suddenly broke free of Mrs. Hai's hand and said, "You recognize her as a daughter, but she doesn't recognize the identity of the Hai family, if it weren't for your connivance, how could she have come to this point?" ”
Then he turned his head and ordered: "Come, Madame is delirious and has said nonsense, take her back to her room, let her be taken care of, and she will not be allowed to come out without my orders." ”
"No...... How dare you? Mrs. Hai looked at Lord Hai in disbelief, but the head of the Hai family was hard-hearted and still let people take her away.
Prince An frowned and said, "Lord Hai......"
Lord Hai interrupted coldly: "Lord Wang, is it difficult for this official to deal with the affairs of the family, and the Lord still wants to interfere?" ”
The two stood up to each other, and in the end, Prince 1 An took a step back, softened his tone and said: "Lord Hai deals with family affairs, and it is naturally inconvenient for this king to interfere, but my father has already decided to give me and Mei Jing a marriage, and you will be counted as my father-in-law in the future......"
Prince An has the intention of winning over the Hai family, if he can draw the Hai family from Gu Chengyu's side to his side, he can not only make his power strong, but also attack Gu Chengyu, it can be said that it is beneficial and harmless, but Lord Hai is not such an easy person to fool Mrs. Hai, he stood with his hands in his hands, and said in a deep voice with an expressionless face: "Prince An's father-in-law, the lower official will never dare to be the official, Wang Meijing's surname is Wang, but the lower official is surnamed Hai, Prince An still has to be cautious!" ”
Wang Meijing's identity can almost be said to be well known, but Lord Hai still denies it on the surface, and is unwilling to accept Prince An's father-in-law, which has invisibly shown his attitude.
Although Gu Chengyuan was a little regretful, he also knew that it was not so easy to win over the Hai family, especially now that the Hai family was angry, in the end he didn't say anything and left directly.
Wang Meijing covered her cheeks and said nothing, what else did Lord Hai have to say, but Gonggong Li, who came to deliver the decree, happened to walk into Haifu, and when he saw Lord Hai, he opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Lord Hai, the slave has come to give you good news, this is a great joy." ”
When Lord Hai saw Gonggong Li, the wrinkles accumulated between his eyebrows stretched out, and he said, "Father-in-law, please sit inside." ”
Wang Meijing's eyes lit up when she saw Gonggong Li, and when she thought of the emperor's promise to marry in the imperial study, she couldn't help but feel joy in her heart.
"The slave is here by order, and there is still a will to be announced, my lord, you better let Miss Hai come out quickly." Gonggong Li had a smile on his face, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Wang Meijing covering her face, but she was smart and didn't say much.
But after a while, Hai Qingtan walked out, his eyes first turned on the disfigured Wang Meijing's face, and then smiled slightly: "Why did my father call me here?" ”
Lord Hai seemed to have a plan in his heart, stroked his beard, and said, "It's your life's event, just kneel down and take the order." ”
Wang Meijing on the side sighed in her heart, and a bad premonition came to her heart.
Sure enough, Gonggong Li saw that everyone had arrived, unfolded the holy decree, and solemnly read it out.
The meaning of the holy decree is clear, and the first one praised Hai Qingtan's appearance and temperament, and then the conversation turned to the family affairs of Hai Qingtan and Gu Chengyu.
Wang Meijing, who originally thought that she had come to announce the decree for her own family affairs, waited until the holy decree was read and did not wait for her name, she almost gritted her teeth with resentment,
Seeing that Gonggong Li handed over the bright yellow holy decree to Hai Qingtan, she finally couldn't bear it, raised her head and asked, "Father-in-law, what about the holy decree about me and Prince An's personal affairs?" Could it be that another father-in-law came? ”
Gonggong Li took a moment to say: "Miss Wang, don't worry, the emperor did instruct the slave about your family affairs, but because you were given to Prince An as a side concubine, this is not a concubine, so there is only a verbal message, and there is no holy decree. ”
Gonggong Li said this euphemistically, but the meaning was that the maids and servants understood it.
One is the concubine of the twelve princes, the holy decree gives marriage, and the name is justified in announcing the world, and the other is the concubine of the six princes, the emperor doesn't even bother to promulgate a holy decree, but casually speaking, stimulated by these two sharp contrasts, Wang Meijing's eyes are red, and she now feels that everyone next to her looks at her as if there is a hidden sense of mockery.
Mrs. Hai asked the housekeeper to send Gonggong Li away, and turned around to Hai Qingtan and said, "Since the emperor has made an order, then you should go back and prepare for your family." ”
Turning his head and seeing Wang Meijing who was lost in his soul, Lord Hai's face returned to coldness, "Since you have decided to take refuge in Prince An and go against the Hai family, then you will be honored or disgraced in the future, and it will have nothing to do with my Hai family." ”
This sentence was louder than a slap, Wang Meijing closed her eyes and slowly spit out four words, "I can't ask for it." ”
