Wang Caidan helped his mother kneel.

She saw the tray in the little eunuch's hand, on which were placed two volumes of holy decrees. One of them should be an edict of knighthood, or a duke inheritance, or a demotion inheritance.

So what's the other one?

Sure enough, Wu Jian first read out the edict of knighthood, and Wang Pu inherited the duke.

The joy and smugness on Wang Pu's face couldn't be suppressed, and he kowtowed again and again to thank him, and the frivolity between words and deeds became more and more unbearable.

Wang Caidan felt powerless, such a person is the head of the family, and the future of the Zhenguo Mansion is bleak, I am afraid that the Zhenguo Mansion will become a joke in the capital in the future!

She was scolding her stomach and listened to Wu Jian read another holy decree.

"I am honored by the Empress Dowager: The Empress Cai Dan of the Zhenguo Mansion is gentle and cautious, and the Empress Dowager and I are very happy to hear it. Liao Yuansi, the eldest son of the left servant of the Liao clan in Linzhou, has a weak crown, and when he is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match. Wang Caidan is in the boudoir, and Liao Yuansi can be called heaven and earth, for the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman, you will be married to Liao Yuansi as a wife, and the marriage will be completed on a good day in March. The proclamation is at home and abroad, and the salty envoy hears it. Chin this"

Wang Caidan's face changed greatly!

She didn't care about the rules, Huo Ran stood up, "Is this really what the Queen Mother meant?" ”

"That's what the decree says." Wu Jian unhurriedly rolled up the holy decree and held it in both hands, "The county lord will take the decree." ”

Wang Caidan's lips trembled, she shook her head and refused to accept the order, "I don't believe it, how could my aunt marry me to Liao Yuansi!" I don't believe it! ”

Wu Jian held the holy decree steadily and said, "County Lord, resisting the decree is a capital crime. ”

Wang Caidan still stood there straight, his face pale.

She can't accept the order, she can't marry Liao Yuansi!

Mrs. Wang withdrew from her grief, and her mind was a little clear, she saw that her daughter was going to resist the order, so she hurriedly reached out to pull Wang Caidan's hand, "Dan'er, what is the order in advance!" ”

Wang Caidan was unmoved, her mind was blank, and she stood there gritting her teeth.

Mrs. Wang apologized to Wu Jian in a low voice, and persuaded her daughter at the same time.

When Wang Puzheng, who had just taken the title, was proud, he heard that Wang Caidan was actually assigned to Liao Yuansi, the teaching gentleman, and after briefly regretting the loss of a princess for the Wang family, a sense of happiness rose in his heart.

If she Wang Caidan can't be the crown princess, what is she in front of his dignified prince!

Wang Pu stepped forward to put on the majesty of the prince, frowned and scolded, "Danyang, don't mess around, quickly kneel down and accept the order!" ”

As he spoke, he reached for her and dragged her.

Wang Caidan shook off his hand and said to Wu Jian, "Manager Wu, can you let me see the Queen Mother first." ”

Wu Jian said, "The county lord wants to see the queen mother's miscellaneous family and not stop it, but if you don't accept the order at this time, you will resist the order." ”

As he spoke, the guards of the Imperial Forest Army behind him all took two steps forward, making a gesture to take someone.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale, and she took Wang Caidan's hand and begged, "Dan'er, do you want to let the Mansion go to prison again?" ”

Wang Caidan closed his eyes and knelt down to accept the order.

Wu Jian finished his errand and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the county lord." In this way, the miscellaneous family returned to the palace to make an errand. ”

Wang Caidan held the holy decree, "I will also enter the palace." ”

Wu Jian said with a smile, "The county lord doesn't know, because of the rebellion of the Zhenguo Gong before, the palace ban is much stricter than before. If you want to enter the palace, you have to hand over the fold first, and the queen mother and the emperor can only enter the palace if you allow it. ”

Wu Jian left with the eunuchs and guards.

Wang Caidan's face turned pale, and he walked back with the holy decree.

Wang Pu whispered in her ear and reprimanded her for being ignorant.

Wang Caidan turned a deaf ear, she didn't have the strength to compete with him at this time.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Wang Pu, who was still afraid of the majesty of the housewife, flicked her sleeves, and strode in front of everyone.

Mrs. Wang only knew that Liao Yuansi was a teacher in the house, from the Linzhou Qinggui Liao family.

She lost her husband and son, and now she is dead to the royal family, she comforted her daughter, "The Liao family is also a good place to go." The royal family is the Longtan Tiger's Den, your aunt and grandmother can't even keep your father and brother, how can they keep you in the future. ”

When passing by the mourning hall, she stopped and asked the maid beside her, "Where is Liao Yuansi?" ”

"Back to the county lord, Mr. Liao didn't come out with you after you left, and he has been drinking tea in the warm pavilion. The slave maid also saw the subordinate go to bring him tea and snacks. ”

Wang Caidan went to the mourning hall and entered.

She lifted the curtain and entered the warm pavilion, and Liao Yuansi was really still there.

He sat leisurely on the couch, elbows resting on the kang table, and looked at her with a smile.

"The county lord has received a holy decree?"

"So you already knew." Wang Caidan looked at him coldly, "You asked the emperor for this holy decree?" ”

"I am white now, where do I have the opportunity to face the saint."

Liao Yuansi picked up a jade white porcelain cup, poured tea, and put the tea cup opposite him, "After drinking this cup of tea, I'll tell you who asked for it." ”

Wang Caidan stepped forward, picked up the teacup and drank it all, and then put down the teacup heavily, "Say it." ”

Liao Yuansi shook his head and sighed, "The county lord has always been calm and atmospheric, and his bearing is not comparable to that of ordinary ladies, but today he can't hold his temperament." Although you have lost the protection of your father and brother now, you are still the lord of Danyang, and you still can't lose your bearing. ”

Wang Caidan said with a heavy face, "Do you say it or not?" ”

Liao Yuansi smiled, "Yesterday evening, King Jin came to the palace, and the person who invited him was Gonggong Wei of Cining Palace. Early this morning, the emperor decided on your and my family affairs in the early dynasty. The county lord is exquisite, who do you say that person is? ”

Wang Caidan's body shook, and his face suddenly turned pale as paper, "King Jin? ”

No way!

How could King Jin meddle in her family affairs, how could he push her into the fire pit!

She shook her head and muttered, "Impossible, impossible." ”

Liao Yuansi said, "If you don't believe it, you can go into the palace and ask the Queen Mother." In fact, I'm also curious, what did King Jin do to match you and me. Is it to repay my cooperation, or is it for the side. ”

He always felt that the person behind it was King Jin.

But it is a bit unreasonable for King Jin to lobby the emperor to marry them so blatantly. How could the king of Jin easily give someone a handle?

Wang Caidan knew that the emperor didn't want her to enter the prince's mansion, but what about King Jin, why did he do this?

From childhood to adulthood, she has always respected King Jin enough, sincere enough, and maintained his majesty everywhere.

Doesn't King Jin know?

Why did he do this to her? How did he manage to be so ruthless?

Wang Caidan raised his feet and walked out.

She went back to her room and wrote an excerpt and asked the housekeeper to send it to the palace.

That night, she got a letter, and the Queen Mother allowed her to enter the palace the next morning.

Wang Caidan kept a night in the mourning hall, and put on the county lord's crown dress early the next morning, and entered the palace with proper makeup.

In the past, she entered the palace as if she was entering her own house, dressed casually, and came and went freely. Now, she has to be cautious and not let the emperor catch the trick in terms of rules.

But Rao was like this, she still waited at the gate of the palace for a full hour before she was allowed to enter the palace.

The eunuchs and ladies of the palace were no longer enthusiastic about her, and even though they were outwardly respectful, she could still detect their schadenfreude and contempt in the subtleties.

Walking on the deep palace road with green tiles and red walls, she suddenly understood why so many people were desperate to be in a high position.

The identity she once abandoned may really be the foundation of her life.

Today is the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I wish you all a good New Year!
