Chapter 109: The Matter Is Settled
The queen looked at Concubine Yi, thought for a moment, and said: "Since Concubine Yi likes it, leave her to King Rui, and it will be a good story for the two sisters of the Hua family to enter the Rui Palace." ”
Concubine Yi smiled vaguely and gently, and Ying Ying stood up and saluted, "Concubine Dairui Wang Xie Niangniang's grace." ”
Jiao Niang looked at the smile she projected at her, and immediately understood that Yi Guifei was retreating, she knew that the queen was willing to rob her of everything, if she proposed to be in the picture, the queen would definitely rush with her to ask for Jiao Niang. It's better to let it earlier, and the queen will definitely not fight with her, or even push it out.
After the palace election, Jiao Niang went home on the same day and said nothing all night.
On the second day, the eunuch came to the door, and Hua Jintang led the whole family to receive the edict in the lobby, until the eunuch finished reading, many people were still in shock and did not come back.
The eunuch was a chubby and kind half-hundred-year-old man, and he handed the holy decree to Jiao Niang with both hands with a smile, and Jiao Niang glanced at Hua Jintang before catching it.
"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Cheng Enbo for another daughter being canonized as the prince's side concubine, this is a supreme honor. The eunuch said joyfully.
Hua Jintang's smile stiffened, "Yes, yes, it's really the emperor's grace." After a while, he waved at him, "There is Father-in-law." Squinting at the housekeeper, the housekeeper immediately took up a purse and stuffed it into the hand of the eunuch, "This idea is also accepted by my father-in-law." ”
The eunuch smiled even more, accepted the gift, drank another cup of tea, and said a few words to Hua Jintang, all of which were words of approval, and after a while, he said that he would go to another house to announce the decree, and leave like this.
Since Ji heard the content of the holy decree, his face was dark, the second aunt, Rou Niang, and Su Qingyin said hello to Jiao Niang, Hua Jintang was silent, but he glanced at Jiao Niang a few times without knowing the meaning, and listened carefully, there were a few subtle sighs.
After a while, Hua Jintang sent everyone away, and told Jiao Niang to prepare well, the wedding date was set in the winter moon, and the days were a little anxious.
Jiao Niang asked Qing Huan to inquire and came back and learned that there was another person who entered the Rui Wang's Mansion this time, and he entered the mansion on the same day as her.
In addition, the prince also chose two concubines, Qian Niang was one of them, which surprised Jiao Niang, according to the queen's selection criteria, even if it is a small concubine, she will choose to marry from the family of the important ministers in the court, how can she leave a father who is just a foreign man Qian Niang, and then I thought about it, although the third uncle did not mix with the officialdom, but in the final analysis, he is the richest man in Licheng, and money is also very important to the prince.
Jiao Niang sighed that the queen was really worried about the prince.
There is also Yang Liu, she was lucky to stay, but she was not given the sect door of the prince's mansion, but stayed in the palace, and now she is a servant.
Because of the rush of time, the Hua family has been busy with their feet on the ground these days, and there are people running everywhere, but Jiao Niang is still sitting comfortably in the room, looking at the room with a room of dowry, and can only sigh that King Rui is really golden.
The set of zodiac signs shook her eyes painfully, as well as the piles of gold, silver and jewelry, water and fragrance, and it took more than half an hour for two people to dot it.
The ear is the sound of Qinghuan and the fragrance of water, Jiao Niang is absent-minded, turning her head to look out the window, it is evening, the sunset is shining on the horizon, red for a long time, indicating that tomorrow is a sunny weather.
When the decree of marriage came down, Ji couldn't stand it.
As soon as Jiao Niang walked into Ningxin Courtyard, she heard a sharp woman's voice, "That little prostitute, seducing people to seduce her brother-in-law, don't look at me when I'm sick, I don't know anything, she hooked up with King Rui as early as Licheng, and she still kept things a secret over there, is it when we are dead?"
Then came Hua Jintang's anger, "I think you're sick and crazy, I don't know where you heard nonsense!"
Ji's voice was as sharp as a knife, "If you don't believe it, ask your niece, what she said is still false?" Hua Jintang, you have no conscience, you say, did you collude with that side a long time ago, and only hide it from me and Mei Niang?"
Hua Jintang scolded angrily, "You are full of nonsense, believe it or not, I divorced you!"
The crying stopped abruptly, and after a while, the crying began again.
Hua Jintang slammed the door and came out, and when he saw Jiao Niang, he was slightly stunned, his face was very ugly, black as the bottom of the pot, and he didn't say anything to Jiao Niang, so he left in a bad mood.
Listening to the cry, Jiao Niang recalled that her father had called her to the study last night......
She knelt down, sobbing and roughly recounting what happened in Licheng, hearing Hua Jintang's forehead twitching, and raised her hand several times to beat her.
Although Manniang was honest later, the words had already been spoken, and she really gave it to King Rui, and she was designated to be taken out and said. When Jiao Niang came back from the palace, she first misidentified Hua Jintang.
It is better to take the initiative to admit your mistakes than to be ripped out.
"Why didn't you come back and tell me?" Hua Jintang was still reluctant to fight after all, and it all hit the table, and it shook loudly.
Jiao Niang's eyelids were red from crying, she knew when to show weakness, "I'm afraid that my father will scold me, and His Royal Highness has instructed me not to mention this matter yet." ”
Hua Jintang glared at her, "You will obey what he tells you, and before you get married, your heart has already been married! Girls are outgoing, this is not wrong at all!" The words were sour, and there was a sense of jealousy.
Jiao Niang secretly glanced at him, "He is the prince, do I dare not listen?" Cover Pa cried again, "Speaking of which, it's not all my father's fault, let him take care of me, I was even blocked by you for the reason for refusal." "It's all on him.
Hua Jintang felt that his feet were hurt by the stone he was holding, and gasped, "You are reasonable!"
Jiao Niang blinked her eyes, and Douda's tears fell, making Hua Jintang feel distressed when she looked at it, "You get up first." ”
Jiao Niang wiped away the tears on her face and slowly stood up, Hua Jintang's remaining anger did not disappear, and she thought deeply for a while, "I said that since King Rui came back from Qizhou, how is his attitude towards me different from before, it turns out that I have already beaten your idea." ”
Jiao Niang stood aside, lowered her head and clasped her fingers, and did not speak, like an angry bag, looking at the pitiful one.
This is what she learned from Qiao Niang, every time Qiao Niang got into trouble, when the second uncle trained her, she pretended to be pitiful, and the second uncle saw her like this, and he couldn't bear to train anymore after reprimanding her.
Similarly, it worked on Hua Jintang, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her, pointing to the seat next to him, "Sit there." ”
Jiao Niang sat down obediently, watched her father's expression gradually ease, and said, "I know that my father wants to follow my aunt's last wish and let me marry as a wife and be a good lady." But there are a few men in this world who can be single-minded, Sister Manniang is the princess of the world, and she has almost no place to stand by the concubines in the house. King Rui has a saying that is very right, marrying him as a concubine is far better than marrying someone else's wife, at least the glory and wealth are endless. Besides, King Rui treated me very well and allowed me to be a side concubine. My daughter is also a layman, how can she not be tempted?"
