Chapter 197: Marriage
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Princess Jianing, the daughter of the eldest princess of Rongding, is kind and gentle, beautiful and square, Dejiahe, and I cherish the love of the queen mother, and now the Jinyi guard commands Chu Wuxian to be twenty years old, clever and intelligent, and has a degree, and has outstanding virtue and appearance. Chin thisβ"
The holy decree was sent to the mansion of the eldest princess of Rongding, and Xie Shuangge and Chu Wuxian came back, kneeling at the door and listening to the decree in front of the bell.
It is a feeling to hear the emperor personally promise in the palace, and it is another feeling to kneel in his own house to receive the order at this time.
After solemnly announcing the decree in front of the bell, he helped Chu Wuxian very brightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Chu is really a blessing!" β
Chu Wuxian smiled, "Thank you, father-in-law." β
"Hey, Lord Chu's blessings are still to come!" He glanced at Xie Shuangge, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "There is no rule that a horse cannot be in power in this dynasty, Your Majesty originally wanted to give the title to Lord Chu, but Lord Chu also knows the situation in the court now, and the lord is not the icing on the cake for you, but the fire is cooking oil." β
Of course Chu Wuxian understood, and he didn't really care about the title at all, for him, what he wanted most was revenge, and second, Jianing, and the rest was just a passing moment for him.
He arched his hand in front of the bell and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand." β
Zhong Qian saw that his expression was calm as usual, and said approvingly: "Lord Chu is an understanding person, what is there to worry about in our family?" Your Majesty can't leave anyone, so let's go back to the palace. β
Xie Shuangge smiled and said to Qinghe beside him: "Send it to Gonggong Zhong." β
"Yes, father-in-law walks slowly."
Qing He followed Zhong Qian and stuffed him with a purse full of silver, Zhong Qian was the great eunuch next to the emperor, and he had seen a lot of good things, but who would think that there was a lot of silver?
He accepted it with a smile and followed Qinghe out.
Xie Shuangge handed over the holy decree to Qingtao and asked her to put it away, and then turned his head to look at Chu Wuxian.
Chu Wuxian still held a holy decree in his hand, and he held both ends with both hands, looking at it in a daze.
Xie Shuangge couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, "What?" Dumbfounded? Or are you admiring your uncle's calligraphy? β
Chu Wuxian slowly raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a little light under his eyes, like the sunrise on the boundless sea, from the faint end to the dazzling, to the sparkling light, which made people's hearts move.
Xie Shuangge felt his gaze heat up.
"All wishes come true, and the minister is afraid that it is in a dream."
The people around couldn't help but laugh lowly when they heard this.
Qing Xing was surprised: "It turns out that Lord Chu is still in a dream?" The slave thought that Lord Chu would not frown before Taishan collapsed. β
Xie Shuangge glared at her: "It's not big, it's not small." β
Qingxing wrinkled her nose, "The slave just said this when she knew that Lord Chu was happy." β
Chu Wuxian really didn't bother with her, and came back to his senses and said, "Xin Xing, send the holy decree back to the Chu Mansion to collect it." β
Xin Xing stepped forward and took it: "Yes." β
"Xin Lu, go and get five hundred taels of silver and send it down, those who see it will have a share, reward!"
Xin Lu was also happy, "Yes, my subordinates will go!" β
Qingxing glanced at each other, bowed and said, "Thank you for the horse reward!" β
The voice was clear and smiling, Xie Shuangge's face was red, she didn't dare to look at Chu Wuxian's eyes directly, but her heart was also hot, she thought about it and said: "Since Lord Chu is so generous, I can't be stingy, pass on the order, and the monthly silver of each person in the mansion will be doubled this month." β
Overjoyed, everyone cheered, "Thank you, Princess!" β
Through the noisy voices and the bright sunshine, Xie Shuangge was in a turbulent mood, and quietly turned her head to look at Chu Wuxian, but she didn't expect to be caught, and Chu Wuxian was also looking at her.
The moment they looked at each other, the sounds around them seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier, and all that was left in my ears was the heartbeat that had lost its rhythm for some time.
The sunlight seemed to fade in each other's eyes, and only the faces of their sweethearts became clearer and clearer, as if they wanted to engrave each other's appearance into their bones.
Look at each other and smile, autumn is better than spring.
β¦β¦
The wedding ceremony was so big, and soon the news spread.
Jin couldn't hide the secret, and people with a heart received the news as soon as possible, but their reactions were different.
Wei Jiuting sat in the Feiluan Palace, playing against Concubine Mei.
Mei Guifei twisted a white child, her eyes were deep, as if she was thinking about how to settle the child, Wei Jiuting did not urge, leaned on the cushion and looked at her.
Wei Jiuyuan came in with a heavy heart, and when he saw such a scene, he was stunned for a moment.
Wei Jiuting noticed him first, looked back and smiled at him: "Since my brother is here, why don't you make a sound?" β
Mei Guifei raised her eyes, although she was puzzled, she was still very happy to see her son coming, put down Baizi and said, "What are you doing standing stupidly?" Sit. β
Where can Wei Jiuyuan sit? He said to the surrounding palace people: "All retreat." β
The palace people went out and closed the door, and Wei Jiuyuan sat on the stool closest to the two, "Mother, you and Jiuting are idle, but you don't know that the palace has exploded." β
"What's wrong?" Concubine Mei frowned.
Wei Jiuyuan sighed and glanced at Wei Jiuting opposite, Wei Jiuting was still that cold and gentle appearance, as if he didn't care what he had to say.
Thinking of a little competition, Wei Jiuyuan deliberately said: "Mother, didn't you find a good horse for Jiuting before?" Fang Cai's father decreed that Jiuting's horse was gone. β
Mei Guifei didn't react for a while, and after a while, she turned around suddenly, "What do you mean?" Chu Wu is dead? β
The smile on Wei Jiuting's lips faded, "How can a good person die?" It's for someone else, right? β
She looked directly into Wei Jiuyuan's eyes, and her voice was slightly cold, "Brother might as well say it directly, do you still want to sell Guan Zi in front of the concubine?" β
Concubine Mei's brows furrowed even tighter.
Wei Jiuyuan secretly hated, he wanted to put her together, to see her gaffe, but he didn't expect to be trapped by her, what a mistake.
"Erchen didn't have this intention, just now Erchen entered the palace, and I heard from the palace people that the father and emperor had already given Jianing and Chu Wuxian a marriage, and the holy decree had been issued, and Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites had already begun to prepare."
"Why did you suddenly get married?" Concubine Mei clapped her hand on the chessboard, her expression gloomy, "Is it because of the Queen Mother?" β
Wei Jiuyuan pondered for a moment and bowed his head: "It's not impossible, the Queen Mother's spirit is not as good as day by day, and she has always liked Jianing, so she must settle Jianing before leaving." β
Concubine Mei pursed her lips and couldn't help but glance at Wei Jiuting, her original plan was to let Wei Jiuting seduce Chu Wuxian and pull people onto her boat, but now that the holy decree has been issued, if Jiuting continues to get close to Chu Wuxian, it will inevitably have a bad impact on Jiuting's reputation.
She is such a daughter, she is still frail and sickly, although she has not seen her for many years, it is false to say that she is not distressed.
Looking at Wei Jiuting's clear eyes, Concubine Mei held her hand and said in a low voice, "It's the concubine who is not thinking about it." β
