Chapter 6: The Divine Decree Has Arrived
Guo Nianyun naturally wished that her brother would bring Li Chun to her, and at this time, with a slight shyness, she bowed. Obviously, the faces are so similar, but for some reason, Li Chun just feels that his sister seems to be a little more angry and charming than his sister, not like the standard noble girl's face.
Princess Shengping and her concubine Guo Yu also came over, and Li Chun had no choice but to greet them one by one, but in fact, he was a little impatient. Today, I borrowed an errand to go out of the palace, and when I came back, I went around here to take a look, and there was nothing serious about it.
was thinking about how to get out, but he heard a commotion outside, and a familiar shrill voice crossed his eardrums: "Princess Shengping, the concubine Guo Yu received the order-"
Everyone present was stunned, the Holy Decree?
How many years has the Guo family not received the holy decree?
The chaotic crowd suddenly fell silent, and for a moment it was as if a needle had dropped on the ground.
Konoha knelt down with the crowd in ignorance, listening to the slightly chubby middle-aged eunuch reading the words on the five-colored silk in a unique voice, the rhetoric was obscure and profound, probably praising the princess for her virtuous and sensitive, the quality of the concubine, and the children raised for having both ability and political integrity, etc., and praised the good boy raised under the knees of the East Palace, how King Shu was Wencheng Wude, etc., and heard that Konoha was like falling into the clouds.
After hearing the last few words, everyone kowtowed and thanked them, calling them the emperor's sage, and Konoha suddenly realized that this holy decree praised everyone in a roundabout way, but in fact, it was saying that their sisters were rooted in the seedlings, and their virtues were outstanding, and the king of Guangling and the king of Shu were both civil and military, and they were very right, and it turned out to be the will to marry her two sisters!
Just after the ceremony of entering the house, this is the time to give marriage, when will the royal affairs be so urgent?
Guo Xi also felt that something was wrong, and he personally took the purse containing the belongings to the eunuch, and greeted him at the same time: "Father-in-law Liu has worked hard, let's go to the wing room and sit down." ”
That father-in-law Liu took the purse, twisted it with his fingers, knew that it was a bag of golden beans that was not light, and put it into his sleeve with a smile. Hengzhi only had this one messenger today, so he followed Guo Xi and said: "The two little ladies have promised good family affairs, and they are still married by the saints, and the prince is blessed." ”
Guo Xi also laughed with him, "Wherever and wherever it is, it is a blessing to the saints......
Guo Xi didn't bring the maid who served the tea, Konoha was busy looking at Fennel, Fennel was a clever one, and he was busy following him to serve, while listening attentively to the words of the two.
The two sat down and exchanged a few words, Guo Xi said: "How can the hands and feet in the palace be so fast, the dowries of the two girls have not been prepared......"
Gonggong Liu said with a smile: "What is the prince afraid of, even if there is a holy decree, he is not in a hurry to pay the salute immediately, isn't it discussed between the two sides." Besides, since there is a marriage, it should be the adults of the Ministry of Rites who are in a hurry. ”
Traditionally, the Ministry of Rites has prepared the wedding by the Ministry of Rites, and a dowry has been issued in the palace.
took a sip of tea, and lowered his voice again: "That's the idea of the Penglai Palace." Our family also heard that King Shu went to ask for Penglai Palace, saying that this is it, the sooner it is ordered, the better......"
Since Emperor Gaozong, the living room of the saint is in the Daming Palace. Although Penglai Hall is not the head of the harem, it is a very important palace in Daming Palace, which is very close to the Zichen Hall where the saint lives and governs every day, and now it is where Concubine Wei Xian lives.
Concubine Wei Xian served the saint for the longest time, and was the oldest concubine in the harem.
However, Concubine Wei Xian did not come out of this, so she accepted Li Yi as her adopted son. Li Yi is another ill-fated person, not to mention his disability in his early years, and he has not been able to come out after his marriage. In the royal family, no heir is a taboo, especially for the prince who intends to compete for the crown, it is a great disadvantage.
After Princess Shu died three years ago, Concubine Wei Xian actually worried about this adopted son, but Li Yi was very picky, and finally agreed to a daughter of Shangshufu, but she died before she could pass the ceremony, and since then she has also weakened her heart to marry her step-concubine, and she is reluctant to talk about family affairs.
Now that Li Yi took the initiative to marry the daughter of the Guo family, Concubine Wei Xian was naturally happy to see it happen and went all out, so as not to have more accidents in the long night.
For this reason, it is not difficult to understand.
Outside, Li Chun had already found an excuse to retire, but he muttered in his heart. He just found that little girl today and was uncomfortable, how could the dust settle so quickly, and the decree of marriage had come down? Could it be that King Shu and Concubine Wei Xian did something in the palace, and they didn't strike first?
The girl came back suddenly, she had almost never heard of Princess Shengping having a daughter in foster care outside, and the girl didn't seem to be so well treated by Princess Shengping in the days when she returned to the princess's mansion.
When he came back, it was a shock, and King Shu, who had always resisted marrying, took the initiative to propose marriage to the princess's mansion. He thought that the girl was quite interesting, and as soon as he teased him, the Shu Wangfu was already impatient to ask for marriage.
If King Shu really just wants to marry Princess Shengping's mansion, he should pay more attention to the favored eldest daughter, rather than the second daughter who just came back and didn't even understand the rules.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, Li Yi had been in Jiangnan for a short time, and now he is still serving as the governor of Yangzhou. And that girl has been fostered in Jiangnan since she was a child, is it an old acquaintance?
If this is the case, then bringing her back from Jiangnan was originally a play planned by Li Yi himself?
Or is it that Li Yi has no intention of marrying a wife in the past few years, and is simply waiting for her to grow up?
This idea is too weird, after all, Li Yi is more than ten years older than her, if it is said that Li Yi, who is eighteen or nineteen years old, has fallen in love with a yellow-haired girl who is a few years old in Jiangnan, and is still planning not to marry, it is a little incredible. But in any case, he did faintly feel that Li Yi seemed to have to be her.
The dispute between King Shu and the crown prince is not an overnight thing, but each has its own merits, and the saint has always favored King Shu, but he has never really shaken the status of the prince, and the two sides are deadlocked.
What Donggong wanted was just the daughter of the Guo family, if this girl was really King Shu's treasure, he wouldn't mind replacing the two sisters.
He closed his eyes slightly, but the girl's smile slowly appeared in his mind. She is called Konoha, the curling autumn wind, under the wavy leaves of Dongting, is a beautiful and desolate name.
