Chapter 24: The Divine Decree

Just when Princess Cheng was calculating in every possible way and choosing a suitable successor, the holy decree came.

The content is very simple, the king of Yongshou County, with a valuable character, two rooms, and a successor to the Yan Wangfu, established as the son.

When the eunuchs in the capital came to announce the decree, the whole Yanwang Mansion was confused.

According to the normal process, the prince of Yan Wangfu passed away, and Yan Wangye was paralyzed, and there was no heir in the follow-up.

Then the Yan Wangfu will select a suitable successor, or select several times at a time, and Guo Changshi will write a document and report it to the imperial court. Then, by the emperor's decree, the candidate will be decided.

In the vast majority of cases, the imperial court will be dominated by the opinions of the royal government.

"How is it possible, how is this possible......" Princess Cheng muttered to herself.

When the holy decree was issued, it was naturally announced to the entire Yanwang Mansion.

Although the Yan Wangfu was paralyzed, it was also carried over. After the decree was read, the eunuch was brought into the chamber to rest and settle. She also returned to the backyard, but the blow was too sudden for her to accept for a while.

"Princess, alas, ......" Mrs. Hu had already sent her subordinates back, and she was the only one left in the main room.

She is Princess Cheng's companion and a super confidant, and she has given advice to Princess Cheng a lot over the years.

But she really couldn't think of a plan for this matter.

"Why is it so fast, the timing is simply not right." Princess Cheng said to herself.

From Qingyang to the capital, it is a month's journey even if it is fast. Now that the prince has died only a month ago, it is uncertain whether Guo Changshi's documents have been sent to the capital.

The emperor's decree has been passed down and directly determines the choice of the son, which is impossible, absolutely impossible.

False Decrees?

No, no, with Han Xiao's style of acting, he would never make such a mistake.

If it's true......

It should be that the prince has just passed away, and the eyes of the imperial court flew to the capital to spread the book. Without waiting for the decision of the Yan Palace, the emperor directly ordered.

This month's time is the time for the flying pigeon to pass the book and the Qin cha on the road, and it is too fast to hide the ears, is this also Han Xiao's plan?

However, Han Xiao has never left Qingyang, and the princes and grandchildren have left the fiefdom for no reason, and it is taboo to associate with the magnates in the capital.

She has always thought that Yanwangfu is the soil emperor of Qingyang, and the capital is too far away, and many times, she forgets the emperor of the capital.

She always thought she was moving fast enough, but the results were still not enough.

Now that the holy decree has been made, Han Xiao will enter the palace as the prince.

What to do, what to do next?

"Princess......

Mrs. Hu was also at a loss, but she cheered up, offered tea to Princess Cheng, and comforted: "There is still room for this matter, there must be a way." ”

"The holy decree has been issued, can I still resist the decree!" Princess Cheng muttered to herself, but her expression slowly recovered.

She has survived in Yanwang's Mansion for all these years, but the powerful elders, incompetent husbands, and even the early death of her son have not been able to completely hit her.

The situation in front of her will make her feel at a loss, but it is still too early to completely cross her.

Han Xiao will definitely not be her opponent.

"It's also strange to say, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't be a ......," Hu Pozi said, with doubts on her face.

The so-called contemporaneous is probably that there are two brothers in the family, and the younger brother has no children and dies. The clansmen are thin, and there is no one to pass within the five suits.

The elder brother married two daughters-in-law, and in addition to his own room, there was also a room for the younger brother. Both of them are wives, but they are commensurate with each other. The children born to the two were cousins, although they had the same father.

However, the people of Yanwangfu are thriving, no matter how you count them, they are not thin, and there are many candidates suitable for succession.

It's that the imperial court takes a fancy to Han Xiao, the palace of Yongshou County, and Han Rong. It is completely possible to pass on the title of King of Yongshou County to Han Rong, and Han Xiao will succeed him as the palace.

It is not necessary to make a special decree to do both.

"Hmph, in case of my mother-in-law." Princess Cheng sneered and said, "Completely coming out of the Yongshou County Palace, he is the son of the world, can he still turn against me, my mother-in-law." It's a both...... There is also half of it from the Yongshou County Palace. ”

Han Xiao had never shown her ambitions, which made her even have a trace of doubt just now, but now that she calmed down and thought about it, it was simply that Han Xiao had been prepared.

How can there be such a good thing, the emperor suddenly ordered him to inherit the palace, and even the way of succession is particularly beneficial to Han Xiao.

If you can't even get the death of the son, it's in Han Xiao's hands.

Thinking of this, Princess Cheng was furious, raised her hand and knocked the tea bowl on the table to the ground, her eyes showed a fierce light, but she said: "However, you are right, there is still room for this matter." ”

Foreign vassal kings dare to seduce the imperial court, as long as there is a show, they can behead Han Xiao all over the house.

"So many winds and waves have come in, as long as the princess plans carefully, there is nothing that cannot be done." Hu Pozi said.

This is true, when Princess Cheng married into the Yan Palace, it was when the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion was down.

At that time, the first generation of Yan Wangye was still there, and Yan Wangye at that time could be said to be the master everywhere, and there were more women.

is the current Yan Wangye, and there are many side concubines and ladies around him. The son of the world can become the only son, it is all Princess Cheng's means.

Later, Prince Yan was accidentally paralyzed, and he was able to take care of the Nuo Palace, and Princess Cheng's ability and ability have long been recognized.

"I remember, Han Xiao's wife died?" Princess Cheng said uncertainly.

Since it is Jian Yu, that is, Han Xiao wants to marry her a daughter-in-law, but she is a princess, gives birth to a grandson, and inherits the palace.

"The former Zhou family died." Mrs. Hu said, "Later, Mrs. Zhang was straightened out, and she was the daughter of a small businessman, but she was born with a bit of color. ”

The family background of the first princess of Yongshou County, Zhou, seemed to be good back then, but now it is just a broken household, and everyone is dead.

The second princess of the county, Wu, was corrected by his wife. There are not many people in the high-level households, but there are not many in the palace. It's just Fuzheng's family background, it's even worse, his father is a maritime merchant, although he is rich, he has no status.

With such a background, being a princess of a county is barely strong, and it is impossible to dream of being a princess of Yan.

"That's the best." Princess Cheng sneered and said, "Immediately clean up the warm incense dock at the back and give it to the Wu family." In a moment, you will go over in person and take the Wu family over. ”

The backyard of the Yanwang Mansion is divided into three parts in terms of the overall pattern, the west road is the residence of the prince and the old lady, and the east road is the prince's mansion.

The middle road is the living place of the prince and the princess, and the middle road is divided into three parts, and the middle is naturally the house of the prince and the concubine. The East Third and West Third Houses are the living quarters of the prince's concubine and wife, similar to the east and west six palaces of the Forbidden City.

Nuanxiangwu is the last place in the East Three Institutes, which is also close to her Jiale Hall and close to Shiziyuan.

Choosing such a place to live is convenient for her to control. Even if Wu disagreed, she also had something to say for Wu to agree.

"Huh?" Hu Pozi was stunned and said, "Since it is a two-room house, wouldn't it be better for the Wu family to continue to live in the Yongshou County Palace." ”

To add a population is to add trouble, since it is a contemporary, Wu is the daughter-in-law of the Yongshou County Palace. According to the rules, Han Xiao also had to marry a daughter-in-law to Yanwangfu.

It's that Wu's status is low, so there is nothing to be afraid of, but it is always a trouble to take her into the mansion.

"You know what." Princess Cheng sneered and said, "I'll take her in first and arrange a place to live, it's better than Han Xiao taking her to live in the Shizi Courtyard." ”

According to the rules and etiquette, it is not the turn of Han Xiao to have two rooms. The fact before us is that the decree was given.

When Han Xiao moved over, he brought the Wu clan with him, could he still beat the Wu clan out.

In the matter of the previous dynasty, she may not be as good as Han Xiao. But in the matter of the back house, she must be much stronger than Han Xiao.

With a kind face, he took the Wu family into the palace, and the residence personnel were all arranged by themselves, and it was very easy to fiddle with the Wu family when the time came.

And if she lets Wu go outside, what she wants to do is not in her control.

Since it is an unstable factor, it is better to be under your own nose and have everything under control.

"Princess Miaoqi, the old slave has not thought about it well." Hu Pozi said, "Then I'll go now." ”

Princess Cheng nodded.

Hu Pozi turned around and wanted to leave, but Princess Cheng suddenly thought about it and ordered: "And Xu Mei, she can't live in Shiziyuan anymore, let her live in ...... Let's Bang Yue Pavilion. ”

The new prince has already been born, and Xu Mei can't live in the courtyard of the world.

Bangyue Pavilion is in front of Nuan Xiangwu, next to her Jiale Hall. is always her own niece, and now that her plan has failed, Xu Mei is in an embarrassing situation, so she, the aunt, will take more care of it as compensation.

"Yes." Mrs. Hu responded, thought for a while and asked, "...... is that title?"

Princess Cheng ordered, and everyone called Mei the princess. Now it's definitely not going to be called the princess, so how to call it better.

"It's called...... Mrs. Xu. Princess Cheng said, "The princess can't be a princess, I can still get a decree for her." ”

The lady called in the palace is an honorific title and an edict. The prince is standard, one concubine, two side concubines are the fourth grade, and the two wives are the sixth grade.

Although Xu Mei is not the prince's concubine, it is not a big deal to give an extra order.

"Yes, the old slave understands." Hu Pozi said.

After tossing for most of the day, Princess Cheng was also tired, there were so many things, she had to cheer up, and said, "You go to the Yongshou County Mansion first." ”

"Yes." Hu Pozi said, turning to leave.

Princess Cheng summoned a girl to come in to serve the marquis, but as soon as she lay down, she heard Mrs. Xu's voice outside: "I have something important to do, and I must see the princess." ”

The girl guarding the door said: "The princess is sleeping, and it is not suitable to meet guests." ”

"When is it, and what are you sleeping?" Mrs. Xu said anxiously.

Princess Cheng's brows furrowed, almost suppressing her anger, and said, "Let her in." ”

The master is furious, where does the girl dare to stop her.

However, Mrs. Xu was a little weak-hearted, and when she entered the door, her feet were a little weak, and she kept her head down, and said, "Sister......"

"What are you going to do!!" Princess Cheng interrupted her words and reprimanded angrily: "Do you think I don't have enough here, you still come here to make noise!" ”

"I ......" Mrs. Xu was a little weak-hearted, but she couldn't help but say: "I heard that the holy decree was issued, and the king of Yongshou County became the prince, so what's the matter with the Mei girl?" ”

At that time, Princess Cheng promised her, Xu Mei entered the door with the tablet, first the princess, and then the concubine.

Now that the holy decree has been issued and Han Xiao has become the son of the world, what is Xu Mei?

"If you don't want to stay in Yanwang's Mansion, then take your daughter and go, I won't keep you." Princess Cheng said coldly.

Mrs. Xu immediately said, "Sister, I, I didn't mean that. It's just that Mei Yatou is my biological daughter, I have to ask clearly, Mei Yatou is in this mansion, what is it? ”

"She is my niece and my daughter-in-law, will I still treat her badly?" Princess Cheng said, "My own son has died, and even if I don't think I will be a prince." Isn't it difficult to chase a county king, when the title comes down, Xu Mei will naturally be the princess of the county. ”

"Then, isn't that the princess of the county, and it's a little worse......" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but say.

The prince and the prince of the county, it sounds like there is only one word apart, but the actual gap is huge.

Princes all have fiefs, and the fiefs of county kings are all mouths. Moreover, the mansion is much worse, the Yanwang Mansion is a special case, but the general prince's mansion has two or three hundred rooms, and the county lord's mansion is only forty-six, how to build it is also a matter of death.

Although I don't have to worry about food and clothing, the difference between the county king's mansion and the prince's mansion is too far.

"Then what do you want me to do and rebel?" Princess Cheng said impatiently, she was very annoyed, but Mrs. Xu still bothered her because of this little thing.

Why didn't she want Xu Mei to be the princess, she wanted Han Xiao to die, she just wanted to do it herself.

"I, I, I feel sorry for Mei girl." Mrs. Xu whispered.

Princess Cheng sneered: "I feel sorry for my daughter, okay." I will now let the chief historian do the paperwork, remove Xu Mei's name from the jade plate, and I will marry my son again. You take your son and daughter to get out of here, and you will never be allowed to enter the Yan Wangfu in the future. ”

Mrs. Xu was suddenly frightened and said, "Sister, I didn't mean ...... this."

What she is most afraid of is being kicked out, how good the life of Yanwangfu is. If she is kicked out, she will have to fight the autumn wind again.

"You have moved into the Yanwang Mansion, so you can naturally live forever." Princess Cheng said angrily, "I'm not dead yet, no matter who becomes the son, no one will drive you away." ”
