Xiao Yao took Yan Rongling's demeanor into his eyes, and lowered his eyes as if he was sleepy.

In fact, my heart has turned a thousand times.

Yan Rongling looked at Gu Fanghua's carriage, and from time to time she could see her lift the curtain to breathe, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that she was very cute, and she began to ponder in her heart.

Otherwise, after returning to Beijing, I will ask my father for advice first.

Anyway, if I wait for another three months, I will be seventeen years old, and Mingzhu will be fourteen. It is appropriate to give the marriage first, and then wait until I am eighteen years old to get married.

As long as you set your name, I believe that you Xiao Yao is also a gentleman, and you will automatically give up.

As for Mingzhu, she may have to make a fuss for a while. However, there is no change in the decree. After a long time, Mingzhu figured it out.

Yan Rongling felt that this trip to Liaodong was a complete victory.

The gossip about Mingzhu in the capital has almost been forgotten, and it is the best time to get married at this time.

But the Queen Mother still has to ask for it seriously.

For Xiao Yao and Ye Shisan, they also like Mingzhu's affairs. Yan Rongling minded a little, but not too much. Mingzhu always puts himself first. It is enough to prove that the heaviest person in Mingzhu's heart is still himself.

The more Yan Rongling thought about it, the happier he became, and he would soon be able to return to Beijing.

At this time, Emperor Hong Zheng also issued an edict in the capital: "With the prime minister and the Ministry of Rites, I will go to greet several princes and pearls early in the morning after tomorrow." and proclaimed the decree on the spot as a reward. ”

"Yes, I obey."

Coming out of the imperial study, Lord Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly grabbed Prime Minister Xie.

"Prime Minister, the emperor asked us to make a decree, but the decree was not given to us. How will we proclaim the decree then? ”

Prime Minister Xie didn't care, and said with a smile: "Hu Shangshu is still afraid that there is no will to declare? The emperor wants to draw up the holy decree himself, and it will be delivered to us tomorrow. ”

"That's my negligence, it's just that in the past, the edicts of rewards were written by us. This time, the emperor actually wanted to do it himself. ”

Hu Shangshu still wants to dig up some news from Prime Minister Xie Cheng.

Helplessly, Prime Minister Xie didn't pour water, and didn't answer the conversation, but said: "This thunder, rain and dew are all the emperor's grace, you and I just need to do our part." ”

Hu Shangshu touched his nose, so he could only force a smile, and he smiled and walked out of the palace with Prime Minister Xie Cheng.

Back at home, Hu Shangshu thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong, pondered for a while, and ordered: "Come here, please come to the study." ”

Soon Mrs. Ding came to the study and saluted: "The concubine has seen the master." ”

"Madame doesn't have to be polite, sit down."

Mrs. Ding was overjoyed, tried her best to remain dignified, and looked at Hu Shangshu with a subtle and eager gaze.

Hu Shangshu's heart churned, since this Ding family got married, she has been the head of the house, and she is respectful and virtuous everywhere, without the slightest interest.

Dressed up all day long, and disgusted with undignified and frivolous fat powder, he often faces the sky.

On weekdays, she even cites scriptures and classics, for fear that others will not understand that she is literate and has read books, which makes Hu Shangshu very disgusted.

But she is lucky, she has a good sister who is the Duchess of Qinguo, so Hu Shangshu has to give her a few thin noodles on weekdays, but rarely goes to her yard.

"I asked you to come over for my husband, because I want to ask my wife for help."

"Master, please say, although the concubine body is a creature in a family of military generals, she still understands the truth of three obedience and four virtues. Although the lord commanded, the concubine must do her best. ”

Mrs. Ding is simply overjoyed, it is rare for her husband to have something to entrust, she must do it.

"Madam, Second Miss Zhong has decided on the matter of the fifth prince of Zhuo Wangfu, do you know?"

Ding was a little embarrassed, and replied in a low voice, "Don't worry, master." No matter what happens to Jiaojiao when she marries into Zhuo Wangfu in the future, it will not affect us. ”

Hu Shangshu was stunned by Ding's answer, and almost wanted to cover his forehead.

couldn't help but roar: "She can marry into Zhuo Wangfu, and you, who are aunts, are also blessed." Madame, how can you say that you are not involved, such a thing? ”

Ding Shi was a little confused, and said tentatively: "What does the master mean, do you think Jiaojiao is not bad to marry?" ”

"Of course. The two daughters of your good sister are both married to the first class, and you usually have to be closer to your sister. ”

Ding nodded sullenly, and his sister raised two alternative and disobedient daughters, who were able to marry into Gaomen.

And his daughters, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, knitting women, are all fine, and their temperaments are as gentle as water, but they are all useless scholars.

Seeing that Ding nodded, Hu Shangshu continued to instruct: "The day after tomorrow, the lord of Mingzhu County will still have five princes, and the six princes will return to Beijing. Zhong Taojiao and Yan Changxin are also together, you go to visit the Duchess of Qinguo tomorrow and find out some news for your husband. ”

"Concubine, everything is according to the master's orders."

However, on the second day, Ding went to the Qinguo Mansion to find out the news from his sister, but because her words were too ugly, the two sisters broke up unhappily.

Hu Shangshu was very dissatisfied with the results of Ding's investigation, and finally brushed his sleeves away, leaving Mrs. Ding sad and crying again.

On the day when the lord of Mingzhu returned to Beijing, it was early in the morning, Prime Minister Xie and Hu Shangshu were waiting in Shili Pavilion.

It's just that I waited until the third pole of the sun, but I haven't seen any traces of a large army on the official road. Hu Shangshu frequently wiped the thin sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.

muttered in a low voice: "Prime Minister Xie, you said: The Lord of Mingzhu County, the Fifth Prince, and the Sixth Prince, why haven't they come back yet?" ”

Prime Minister Xie also waited until his vest was sweaty, and in the face of Hu Shangshu's question, he shook the folding fan in his hand and smiled: "There are also long-distance treks and snoozes for the county lord, so wait." ”

Hu Shangshu nodded, but his eyes were aimed at the red sandalwood box in Prime Minister Xie Cheng's hand from time to time.

It should be the holy decree of the Liaodong trip this time.

Prime Minister Xie Cheng's guess was right, Gu Fanghua got up very late this morning. I have to eat street snacks in a row. So, now I'm walking on the road and resting.

"Mingzhu, there are twenty miles at most, and it will be ten miles away, why do we have to take a rest here?"

Yan Rongling is simply like an arrow, he wants to return to Beijing as soon as possible to beg his father to settle his name. Only Mingzhu became his fiancée. Then he can be completely at ease.

Gu Fanghua looked at Yan Rongling with a smile and explained, "When I return to the city gate in a while, I will go directly to the palace with you." You can't visit your grandfather first. Naturally, you have to bring something with you first. ”

Xiao Yao also stood next to him and said with a smile: "After you return to the palace tomorrow, let's rest and recuperate for a while, don't rush out of the palace to play." I will send my grandmother back to the house first, and then I will go to the palace to meet the emperor. ”

Gu Fanghua nodded softly, and returned to the carriage to put on some light makeup from Danzhu.

When their group appeared in the Shili Pavilion, Prime Minister Xie and Master Hu stepped forward to greet each other.

"Weichen was ordered by the emperor to go out of the city ten miles to greet you."
