366 Freedom to marry (1st shift)
Implicit warning.
The queen mother and queen are from the Shi family, and they are the last reliance on the power of the Shi family, but ...... It is also the easiest place for the Shi family to throw rat traps. I don't know...... These two are essentially hostages sent to the palace by the Shi family.
Mrs. Shi was worried, thinking that she would get up to stop her if she was rude, but she heard the neighbor cough and said nothing.
Gu Ci shook his head at her almost inaudibly.
Mrs. Shi sat back again, but she was still not at ease, the whole person was tense, and she was ready to get up to stop - this girl seems to be easy to talk, but in fact she is very stubborn in her bones, and she does what she thinks she does, without thinking about her own safety.
Everyone's eyes converged on the girl in a big red palace dress in front of the main hall.
She fell to her knees, looking thin and thin under her costume. She looked up at the emperor, and between her eyebrows was a frank and upright look, "Your Majesty." The courtiers have one thing to ask for...... At that time, His Majesty decreed that the marriage would be granted, and the vassal daughter would be the crown princess, and when the ceremony was completed, the prince would be selected to complete the marriage......"
The emperor's hand holding the teacup tightened, and his face suddenly darkened.
No one spoke.
The wind blew in from outside, hovering faintly against the ground. Everyone was quiet, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.
Only a calm and calm girl, even if she kneels, there is a kind of Lingyun style that seems to be groundless, and others can't imitate it. She seemed to be completely unaware of the oppressive atmosphere present, and her voice was clear and steady, "Your Majesty...... It's just that the courtiers are not talented, and they dare not choose the prince of the world with their own likes and dislikes. The courtiers knew that His Majesty favored the courtiers, but ...... The courtiers really didn't dare and couldn't. Therefore, the courtiers took the opportunity of today to ask His Majesty to take back his fate. ”
The hand holding the teacup loosened carelessly, and the tea splashed on the back of the hand, not hot, but a little warm.
The emperor didn't care, he shook the teacup casually, and didn't take the handkerchief handed over by the queen, his expression didn't change, but his breath was obviously much softer, "Girl...... The decree has been given, how can it be said that it will be withdrawn? Hello girl, this is ...... Don't look down on my sons? ”
"The courtiers don't dare." She kowtowed in a proper manner, and the few casual things on her body on weekdays were gone, "Your Highnesses are all rare young talents, how can the courtiers be so ignorant." It's just that...... Women are not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone such a major event as the prince of a country...... How could the little girl be so ignorant? ”
"Your Majesty, please...... Take back your fate. ”
Everyone was shocked and fell on Shi Huan
The emperor was silent, sighed deeply, and after a while, asked the right minister, "Shi Aiqing...... What do you think? ”
Shi Hao got up, arched his hands, and bent over, "Your Majesty...... His Majesty loves her, but the little girl is shallow in her education, and she is indeed embarrassed...... I also hope that His Majesty will take back his order. ”
The emperor stared at Shi Hao for a long time, and after a while, he suddenly laughed, pointed to the right and smiled, "Look at it...... This old guy, the girl of the Shi family is only a shallow learner? I can say that...... Do you want to face? All right...... I probably understand, and I think about it, Huan Yatou has been accompanying Taifu in Taihe County all these years, and it is difficult for some strong people to say which prince she likes......
"So be it...... The holy decree has been issued, and if the ceremony is suddenly withdrawn, the uninformed people are afraid that there will be a lot of discussions, and at that time, Huan Yatou is afraid that she will suffer some grievances...... That's what I don't want to see. The emperor leaned back in his chair, looking very relaxed, took the freshly brewed tea from Chang Gonggong, lowered his head and blew it, before looking at Shi Huan, "That's it...... Girl, the holy decree will not be withdrawn first. But you don't have to be burdened by any psychological burden......"
"If one day, you have a favorite Langjun, I will say to me, I have changed this holy decree for you. If you finally fall in love with my son...... That's just how happy everybody is......"
The right minister spoke out to dissuade, "Your Majesty...... It doesn't make sense......"
The emperor waved his hand, not wanting to say more, "That's it, this is my last concession." Today is the girl's ceremony, and she opened her mouth to refuse to answer her, if it is a weekday...... I wouldn't have agreed so easily. I finally beat the daughter-in-law who was tied to my side......"
As he spoke, he sighed again, "In the end, my sons are not blessed...... Arise, what are you doing on your knees? Kneel down again, the Queen Mother should be distressed......" The emperor looked back and instructed Chang Gonggong, "Why don't you help the eldest lady up?" ”
"Okay!" Father-in-law Chang smiled over, and while helping Shi Huan up, he smiled and said congratulations, "Congratulations to the eldest lady...... and Rite of Passage. Congratulations! ”
When the words fell, the hall finally seemed to be alive suddenly, and they all got up to congratulate, saying auspicious words that had been prepared a long time ago and were almost forgotten by Miss Shi's fright.
The Queen Mother slowly got up from above, holding a sandalwood box in her hand, the box was not big and very delicate. She walked up to Shi Huan and took her hand, "Girl...... This is the dowry given by the mother to the mourning family when the mourning family enters the palace...... Today, I will send you. ”
Although she felt that this gift was really a bit heavy, but on this occasion today, she couldn't shirk it even if she shirked it, so she blessed her body and accepted it with a smile, "Empress Dowager Xie." ”
And then there's the Queen...... The queen gave a set of clothes, woven with deep-sea shark yarn, and ninety-nine pearls inlaid at the hem. Although the pearls are small, they are almost the same in size, and they are extremely round, and they are very valuable at a glance.
Then, there are the women of the family, one by one, and the order has been repeatedly explained by the Ministry of Rites, and there will never be any unreasonable subtleties.
Those who were invited to participate in the ceremony naturally prepared congratulatory gifts in advance, all of which were carefully considered, famous calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques, not too expensive, but definitely the kind that can be handled.
Shi Huan returned the salute with a smile one by one, even the ladies and ladies of the family who had no contact with each other on weekdays had all looked at the portrait a few days ago and recognized their faces familiarly, and they would definitely not make any mistakes at this juncture.
A girl dressed in a red dress, standing on top of the main hall, generous and polite, advancing and retreating, even if it is just a smile, it is just the right arc, standing next to the queen mother, it will not look half a little childish, but it will not be the slightest momentum.
Although the emperor did not withdraw the holy decree, since he said that...... It is in front of the world that she promised this girl the right to freedom of marriage leave. For a while, the ladies who had never thought about it in the past, but who had a son of the right age in the family, thought about it one after another.
Not to mention the Shi family's heritage, just Shi Huan personally, the girl who can overshadow her in this imperial capital...... It's not that there are a handful, but there aren't at all.
Gu Ci looked at the group of ladies with obvious intentions and greeted each other with cold and warm eyes, and his eyes deepened...... Although I knew this was going to happen, it was still a little unpleasant.
