Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 290 Recruitment

"Okay! I owe you first!"

Hearing Lin Zisu's straightforward reply, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "After you get married, if you feel bored in the palace, you can go to my Wenyuan Pavilion at any time. There are enough books for you to read.

It’s been going on for a few years.”

When Lin Zisu got home, she immediately went to see her parents and told her about the matter.

Xie Xi's visit to Dunzhou is closely related, and the hidden details cannot be revealed in detail.

Therefore, Lin Zisu only told her parents the emperor's intention to urge the two to get married, and concealed all other details.

When the family first heard the news, they were stunned.

Especially for Bi, she originally thought that since her daughter was young, she would have time to prepare the dowry slowly.

Who would have thought that the emperor suddenly had a whim and wanted Lin Zisu to get married so quickly? How could he have time to buy a dowry in such a short time?

Besides, his daughter had just been married, and Xie Xi was about to go to Dunzhou to join the feudal clan.

My daughter and her uncle live in the capital and the other in Dunzhou, thousands of miles apart. How is this any different from being a widow?

Thinking of what happened to her daughter, Bi's nose felt sore and tears almost came out of her eyes.

Lin Yuanzhi secretly cursed the emperor in his heart.

This sudden promotion of the marriage seemed to have some hidden agenda.

"Uncle, I would like to congratulate you!"

The amount of betrothal gift for a prince to marry a princess is customized.

Rong Zonghou couldn't help but want to ask, is His Royal Highness Prince Dun taking a wife, or is he coaxing a child?

The most critical problem is that in Dayan, only when marrying a queen or a princess, one can use one hundred and twenty-eight dan as betrothal gift.

Bi Shi laughed immediately, and his nose became sore again as he laughed.

Fang Qingge, the second young lady of the Weiyuan Hou family, became the crown princess, and the third prince’s principal concubine was indeed chosen Zheng Peiyao.

Yesterday, Qian Minzhong, the Minister of Rites, had just sent the betrothal gift of the Crown Princess to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. Lin Zisu was just a princess, but the same regulations were applied.

On the tenth day of the lunar month, when Lin Zisu was about to get up, Bi's personal maid, Zhenzhu, ran into her yard in a panic, saying that her uncle had sent a betrothal gift and was waiting in the front yard.

He didn't think it was the emperor's whim. The prince's wedding was always custom-made. When he accepted it a few months ago, he had never heard the Ministry of Ceremonies mention the wedding date.

This was not the first time that Rong Zonghou had dealt with Xie Xi. Rong Zonghou felt helpless towards this prince who liked to have whimsical ideas.

Lin Zisu waited for several days, but still did not receive the imperial edict. She thought the emperor had some new plans, so she started to sleep late and get up late again.

Gold and silver jewellery, crowns and cloths, pigs, sheep, chickens and geese, tea, fruits, rice and noodles, the total amount is exactly sixty-four loads. It is rich and honorable but also festive.

The sixth prince, Xie Yun, was still underage, but he had already decided on a prince and concubine. It seemed that the emperor planned to send all these princes to other places.

Unexpectedly, the emperor even skipped the imperial edict and sent it directly from Xie Xi with the betrothal gift.

When Xie Xi was speaking, Rong Zonghou behind him was grimacing and his mind was in a mess.

Lin Zisu originally thought that her marriage to Xie Xi was originally granted by the emperor, but it was rushed in such a hurry.

Thinking of this, Rong Zonghou was so confused that he couldn't even speak fluently.

Seeing Bi's intention, Lin Zisu smiled again and said: "After my daughter gets married, she will be in charge of the palace's middle minister. This is a great job. When our family can't get rid of the pot, my daughter will take charge of the palace's middle minister."

The warehouse has been moved here, and there will be no famine that my daughter cannot solve."

If the prince knew about this, would he think that the Ministry of Rites was deliberately acting against him?

The prince will not have trouble with King Dun, nor will he find trouble with Qian Minzhong. If there is any anger, it will eventually fall on him, Rong Zonghou.

Lin Zisu, on the other hand, did not have too many worries and had been waiting for the imperial edict at home.

Sure enough, the Ministry of Rites decided on the outcome of the selection of the concubine, and the decree on the enfeoffment of the princes followed immediately.

On the tenth day of September, five days after the results of the selection of the concubine by the Ministry of Rites were announced, not only did the emperor's decree reach Uncle Kang Ning's house, but the betrothal gift was also sent.

After seeing Lin Zisu, he walked forward in two steps, as if offering a treasure, pointed at the two piles of red paint boxes outside the door, and said with a proud smile: "Su Su, my father has prepared sixty boxes for you.

I felt that the four dan betrothal gift was not enough, so I added another 64 dan. I will finish the work in a while and I will take you to see it, I hope you like it."

When Lin Zisu arrived in the front yard, it was already half an hour later. Lin Yuanzhi was sitting in the flower hall chatting with a group of visitors. Xie Xi had been waiting impatiently and kept looking out the door.

"September 20th is a day favored by the Qintian Supervisor. Your Majesty will go to the Emperor's Palace to confer titles on all the princesses."

Lin Zisu also knew that her parents could not accept the news for a while, so she could only explain: "Actually, when my daughter got married, she just got a name. There is no one to restrain her in the house, and there is no need to set rules. It is no different from home. Moreover.

The Tenth Prince's Mansion is not far from our home, and I can come back to see you at any time."

However, the emperor seemed to have not yet made up his mind, and there was still no movement.

Among the sixty-four boxes, there were not only books, medicinal materials, agate and jades, but also several boxes of knickknacks that couldn't be named.

Fortunately, Rong Zonghou still remembered a few important things, and while Xie Xi was showing Lin Zisu the betrothal gift, he explained it to Lin Yuanzhi.

Now that my marriage to Xie Xi has reached this stage, there is no reason to turn back.

My daughter has not yet reached the age of cardamom. She is bored in the room every day at home. How can she know what to do?

Throughout the night, Kangning's residence seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of sadness.

By the third day, the emperor's imperial edict still had not arrived. Instead, he had to wait for the results of the selection of the concubine by the Ministry of Rites.

"There are several good days in the next month. The prince chose the sixth day of October. His Majesty said that he has always liked Princess Tun the best, so he made the decision for the princess and chose the twelfth day of October."

However, Xie Xi couldn't help but add another sixty-four loads of gifts. When Rong Zonghou saw the gift list, he felt dizzy.

No matter what the emperor does, he will first issue a decree to test the trends of the government and the opposition.

Because Xie Xi had been enfeoffed a few months ago and had been granted a marriage by the emperor, everything had gone ahead of the princes, and it seemed that nothing had happened without him.

Previously, there was a censor who had been chasing Bi Suinan to participate in the concert. I don't know what happened these days, but he suddenly disappeared.

The third prince, Xie Hui, was granted the title of King Hui, with a fiefdom of Huizhou in Lingnan; the sixth prince, Xie Yun, was granted the title of Prince of Cheng, with a fiefdom of Chengzhou in Hezhong.

Lin Yuanzhi thanked Rong Zonghou repeatedly, and when the people below were not paying attention, he stuffed a thick red envelope into Rong Zonghou's hand.

Rong Zonghou did not refuse. He sat down and drank a few cups of tea. Just as he was about to leave, a subordinate officer behind him coughed heavily.

Rong Zonghou was immediately startled. He turned back to look at the official and was about to rebuke him.

The official said bravely: "Sir, some of the nuns from the Clothes Supervisor are still waiting in the side hall to measure the princess. Do you think when is the most convenient time?"
