It's a pity that Shen Guoshi didn't give him time to think: "Okay, I don't want to care about the royal succession at all." Anyway, in the end, it takes the Xuangui jade plate divination to count. What I want to talk to the emperor about Mingyue's marriage now. I'm still asking for the same few things. First, give them an engagement first, but don't marry them too early. Mingyue still has a lot to do. It is necessary to break the division, to rectify the Star Picking Building, and to further improve the cultivation. Therefore, the wedding must at least wait until Mingyue turns eighteen years old. It's almost three years away. Second, the dowry that your royal family should give is indispensable, and in addition, because of Mingyue's noble status, this dowry must be extraordinarily much. What gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, treasures and utensils and the like the more the merrier. ”

"After the Ministry of Rites has drawn up the list of dowry gifts and some processes, I will personally look at them. I can't wronged my apprentice, and I can't cheapen your Xiao family for nothing. ”

Emperor Changping suddenly laughed, looking at Shen Guoshi, who had been supporting him all the way, and was also a father and brother, Emperor Changping could only nod his head again and again, regarding the marriage of his third son, he kept regressing, and signed an unequal clause with Shen Guoshi to lose power and humiliate the country. When Shen Guoshi walked out of the palace with great satisfaction, Emperor Changping was in winter, and the sweat came down.

Hey, it's not easy to marry a strong daughter-in-law.

In the blink of an eye, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and all yamen have begun to seal, and the entire capital has ushered in a jubilant atmosphere. Last year's New Year was very deserted, because there was a national funeral, this year, the national funeral has passed, and everyone's enthusiasm that has been held back for two years has been released. The whole capital suddenly became lively.

Qin Mingyue was finally busy, and after she relaxed, she remembered that her marriage didn't seem to have been told to her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law.

Qin Mingyue decided to tell everyone, otherwise, after the Chinese New Year, the holy decree came down, and everyone would inevitably be surprised.

Qin Mingyue specially invited her eldest brother and sister-in-law to come over in Piaoxiang Courtyard.

The new Duchess of Liguo, Zeng Yutong, has been very busy recently, she has just gotten married, and she is still a bride, so she began to preside over the feed, even if she is very experienced, she can't help but be in a hurry. Fortunately, first, the Qin family is actually simpler than the Zeng family. Because the Zeng family is also the founding of the country, it has lasted for two hundred years, there are too many servants in the family, and many of them sell old qualifications, which is very difficult to adjust. The marriages between the various servant families are intricate and intertwined, which is very troublesome.

Although the Qin family is also a century-old family, the Qin family has always been dilapidated before. Those hundred-year-old servants have long been sold. The Qin family even mortgaged the mansion back then, and almost slept on the street, where could they still leave those rich slaves? Therefore, the hundreds of minions of the Qin family now have all been newly bought in the past two years. The climate has not yet formed, which is very easy to manage.

This made Zeng Yutong, who was fed up with the anger of those servants in the Zeng family, feel relaxed. Therefore, the complicated housework did not make her emaciated, but made her extra radiant.

Now, Qin Mingyue, the real pillar of the Qin family, asked someone to invite their husband and wife over, and of course they hurried over.

When he arrived at Qin Mingyue, Qin Guosong looked at his sister's outfit and suddenly felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Zeng Yutong was delicate, she first smiled and said, "Is my sister ready to go out?" ”

Qin Mingyue said: "The yamen has been sealed, and the things in my Star Picking Tower have all been done." I plan to stay in Xixiu Villa for a while during this period of time a year ago. I'll come back for the New Year, but I don't plan to leave today, I plan to leave again in the bright moon. ”

Zeng Yutong and his wife had long known that Qin Mingyue was going to Xixiu Villa. There are hot springs there, and it is indeed a good place to escape the cold in winter. Last year, Qin Mingyue lived there for a long time. Besides. Qin Mingyue didn't just go there to avoid the cold, she also had to retreat and cultivate. Qin Mingyue is not an ordinary woman, she is not an ordinary eunuch, she is a cultivator, she is a future national teacher, and she is naturally a cultivator. This is a big deal, so the Qin family didn't say anything.

At this moment, Qin Mingyue said it, Qin Guosong didn't feel anything, but Zeng Yutong said with a smile: "Hey, my sister didn't plan to go out today, why is it so gorgeously decorated?" You've never liked to wear these expensive jewelry. On weekdays, the priest's robe is worn on the body, that is, he wears ordinary boudoir clothes, and at most he wears one or two simple jewels and jade jewelry. This phoenix hairpin is really gorgeous, exquisite workmanship, although I have a few good pieces of jewelry there, it can't be compared with this. This seems to be the craftsmanship of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is it rewarded by the palace? If you want me to say, my sister is young, and she should dress up like this, this is what the lady of the Prince's Mansion looks like. ”

Ah, when his wife said this, Qin Guosong reacted, no wonder he felt that his sister was a little strange, it turned out that it was because his sister was dressed up with precious jewelry today. Or the wife's meticulous observation.

Qin Mingyue behaved even more strangely, she actually blushed with shame, and only said after half a while: "Well, I invited my brother and sister-in-law to come over today, in fact, it is also because of this phoenix hairpin." ”

Hey, now, not only Qin Guosong but also Zeng Yutong became strange, when he was so busy, he called the two of them to come over, and it was actually because of a piece of jewelry. Even if this jewelry is worth a lot of money, even if this jewelry is so luxurious, it is made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, shouldn't it?

Seeing the strange appearance of her brother and sister-in-law, Qin Mingyue became even more shy.

However, fortunately, Qin Mingyue is not an ordinary lady after all, and she barely restrained her shyness and said: "This phoenix hairpin was given to me a few days ago when Concubine Li invited me to the palace to enjoy the flowers. ”

Qin Guosong was even more strange. What about Concubine Li's reward? Although Concubine Li is now very favored, not only the eldest son Xiao Rui has entered the military department, which is very popular with the emperor, but also the younger son is very favored by the emperor, I heard that the emperor has to go to Concubine Li's palace every day to visit the four princes. There are two princes beside him, and such an honor is unique in the entire harem. Concubine Li is also in charge of palace affairs with Concubine Xian. This means a lot. In particular, my sister also told him privately before, who will be the candidate for the throne in the future?

Although he knew that Concubine Li's status was noble, Qin Guosong still felt strange, in the past, if the Qin family was rewarded by the court, it would be shocking for a long time, at least the Qin family should not have been rewarded by the palace for decades. However, since Qin Mingyue became the apprentice of the national teacher, this court reward is like no money, there is a difference of five across the mountain, not to mention Qin Mingyue, even Qin Guosong has been received many times, what is so strange about Concubine Li's reward?

However, Zeng Yutong understood, her apricot eyes widened, as if she was greatly frightened. This made Qin Guosong even more strange.
