Wishful Things

And what they want, how can others and even the common people not think of it?

With such unbearable past events and rumors in the past, His Majesty gave the marriage as soon as he said it would, have you ever considered the feelings of His Highness the Crown Prince?

Does His Royal Highness want to lose face?

This marriage is certain, and the hurdle of Chongxi is destined to be impossible to overcome in a lifetime!

...

Jiang Taifu, Xie Shoufu, Minister of Rites and others already have a very clear understanding of whether His Highness the Crown Prince wants to save face——

In the imperial study room half an hour ago, His Majesty discussed with them the decree to bestow a marriage. Before they had time to make a statement, they were also wondering whether His Highness the Crown Prince would have any shadows about the old happy event. I saw that His Royal Highness, who was tall and straight and full of nobility, immediately knelt down towards His Majesty behind the dragon case——

Kneeling very upright.

When they saw it, they felt bad.

This must be a refusal to agree, and I want to ask His Majesty to take back the meaning of life!

The father and son have just been reunited not long ago, if there is a dispute because of this...

Just when they were thinking about how to stabilize the mood of both parties, they only heard the young man kneeling upright say: "I thank you, Father, for your success."

Ministers: "??"

Is it such a direction?

So, the previous rumor that the "grandson of the Wu family" was greedy for the beauty of the girl from the Xu family is very likely to be true? ——Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was the first to respond.

"Get up quickly, don't make your love friends laugh." Emperor Zhaozhen smiled and raised his hand to signal his son to get up.

Seeing this scene, Xie Shoufu and the others were speechless.

The father and son were more willing than the other, and they clearly planned it long ago, so it's not their turn to talk.

What's more, the crown princess was selected from the Dongyang Palace, which also has the effect of stabilizing the court situation at the moment.

In fact, they have no reason to object.

only……

The father and son looked very happy, but what did the girl from the Xu family think?

As long as they change households, they will not have such concerns-the girl in the family is given a marriage and betrothed to the current prince. This is a great blessing and luck, and it is really a great thing that can only happen when the ancestral grave smokes.

But the Xu family is different!

I still remember that when Emperor Abandoned made the decree to make this girl a noble concubine, the little girl resisted the decree on the spot. Immediately afterwards, Xu Qiwei, who had just returned to Beijing, took the imperial decree and went into the palace, in front of all civil and military officials. Dare to say it bluntly, there is only such a granddaughter, and I can't bear to ask her to enter the palace.

And this is a good attitude that was barely pretended when the whole family was planning to rebel and leave Beijing!

Who in Beijing doesn't know that Xu Qiwei values ​​the only granddaughter in this family more than his own life?

I heard it in the early years, and she once threatened that her granddaughter's marriage is only up to her to decide, if she can't pick a wink, she may not marry for the rest of her life.

Therefore, if the little girl refuses to agree, the old man may be able to throw them out together with the imperial decree on the spot!

The nervous adults on the way out of the palace had only one thought at the moment - His Majesty had better have discussed with the Xu family in advance and obtained the other party's consent.

Jiang Taifu said cryptically that he was old, and if something really happened at that time, he hoped that the younger generations could help him when he was running.

After all, the Dongyang Palace has never been an ordinary place.

The newly-appointed chief eunuch and a group of officials headed towards the lawless place of Qingyunfang in a sedan chair.

After entering Qingyunfang, the carriages and sedan chairs gradually slowed down.

The Dongyang Prince's Mansion, which has just had its plaque replaced, looks more and more majestic. The two copper-clad vermilion doors have just been painted with new paint, and even the fur lines on the two stone lions outside the door have been wiped "glossy and shiny", showing awe-inspiring majesty. It was indescribably ferocious.

In all my life, I have never heard such a fearful marriage decree...

The internal supervisors of all the officials settled down and entered the palace.

He was led all the way to the front hall, and after being passed on by the servants, after only a quarter of an hour of waiting, all the members of the Xu family arrived.

Aside from other things, let's see that Mrs. Cui, the son of the king of Dongyang, is dressed in a woman's attire, and her hair and makeup are well arranged. She is clearly prepared and waiting for them to come!

What is it if this is not a default?

The officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't worry about being thrown out.

The eunuch finally dared to show a festive smile on his face, his eyes fell on King Dongyang and the girl in the apricot dress one after another, he raised his hand to salute above, and said with a respectful and kind smile: Our family is following the orders of your lords to congratulate your mansion, and the imperial decree is for this, so please listen to the decree."

The King of Dongyang responded "Yes", and Liao Pao and his family knelt down to listen to the decree.

The servants outside the hall also knelt down all over the courtyard.

It was Jiang Taifu who announced the decree.

The old man's voice is hoarse but full of the breath of years of precipitation, the words and sentences slowly spoken through his mouth seem to have been silently imprinted in this long time, and they are destined to be remembered by others——

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said—today, there is Xu Mingyi, the eldest granddaughter of Dongyang King Xu Qiwei's knees, Xu Mingyi, who is outstanding in appearance, has made achievements in establishing a state in the past, and has a vision and a mind that is not inferior to a man. When you get married, you should choose a virtuous woman to be your partner, and we will keep the country and the country in Daqing stable in the future. It is just that the eldest granddaughter of the king of Dongyang is waiting to be married, and her appearance and temperament are the same as that of the prince. , I specifically refer you to marry the prince as the princess concubine. All the etiquette regulations will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qin Tianjian Jianzheng to take care of them together, so as to choose a good day to get married. Announce the Chinese and foreign, and the salty envoys will hear about it. Qin here!"

Ah Kui, who was kneeling by the side, had bright eyes and was very excited.

The girl next to her was given a marriage, and her compliments were nothing more than virtuous, respectful, gentle and dignified. When it comes to her girl, she has the power to establish a state, and her vision and mind are not inferior to men's!

"Miss Xu, accept the decree." Jiang Taifu closed the imperial decree in his hand and reminded with a smile.

Xu Mingyi replied "Yes", and subconsciously turned slightly to look at his grandfather.

The old man's eyes were already red, but he only smiled lovingly and nodded to the girl, his lips moved lightly, and there was the word "silence" - "Go."

Xu Mingyi solemnly kowtowed: "I accept the order, thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

Jiang Taifu personally stepped forward and handed the silk to the girl's hands that were raised above her head.

"This is a happy event, the prince should be happy!" Seeing tears welling up in the corners of King Dongyang's eyes, Taifu Jiang said with a smile.

Xu Qiwei was emotionally stagnant, and raised his eyelids to look over - when the Emperor Deposed was around, he asked this old matriarch to read the scriptures, didn't the other party often say that his old eyes were too dim to see clearly? Why is his eyesight so good now?

Seeing everyone looking at him, the red-eyed old man felt uncomfortable, and immediately thought of what happened to King Dingnan in the Taimiao that day.

"My lord, it's too early to cry." Jiang Taifu was still teasing: "This is where you are, and it will be the real time for you to cry on the day of your wedding!"

Everyone laughed.

The atmosphere in the hall is festive and harmonious.

Cui ordered people to present the red envelopes that had been prepared long ago, and said with a smile that all father-in-laws and adults would be happy together.

Everyone held the heavy red envelope, and felt that the joy was really enough.

Not only the people who came to proclaim the decree, but everyone in the Dongyang Palace, from the steward to the rough servant, was also full of joy, and it was really a joy together.

"Ah!"

This happiness spread to a guest courtyard in the palace, which evoked an extremely excited and loud cry.

Qiu Caier pinched the red envelope sent by the girl, her eyes lit up with surprise and excitement, her face flushed, and she almost jumped up.

Since she entered Beijing and lived in Dongyang Palace, when she opened her eyes every morning, the first question in her mind was——

Is Wu Shisun engaged to Miss Xu today? --No.

Is His Royal Highness the eldest son engaged to Miss Xu today? --No.

Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince engaged to Miss Xu today? --deal!

It's settled!

May I ask, is there anything more fulfilling in this world than this?

have!

And get married! Big wedding!

Bridal chamber!

Dumplings!

Thinking of this, Miss Cai'er was so excited that she couldn't control herself, she walked back and forth quickly in the room holding the red seal, unable to calm down.

Her cry just now was really too loud, as if it could spread out of Qingyunfang, like a spring thunder, it caused the surroundings to boil with it.

Word spread quickly.

From officials and dignitaries to ordinary people, almost everyone knows him in just one day.

Under the shock, all parties reacted in their own way.

He had just been crowned king, and now the only girl in the family was accused of marrying the prince. Looking at the capital and even Daqing, no one could match her honor and favor.

It is essential to come to congratulate, even if there are prudent people to avoid suspicion, they secretly send the family members to go.

Therefore, recently, Mrs. Cui has been so busy every day that she has to deal with the lady who comes to the door all day, and even her main business - the horse-sling has been neglected for a while.

In comparison, Xu Mingyi's ears were much cleaner.

She has always disliked dealing with these occasions, without her needing to speak, Cui Shi has blocked everything for her.

It was not until the Cui family came to the door on this day, Cui Yunqing and Cui Yunwei sisters arrived, that they invited people to Xiyuan.

When the Cui family sisters arrived, Xu Mingyi had just finished practicing arrows, because it was a fresh autumn, so he practiced for half an hour longer than usual.

Cui Yunqing and Cui Yunwei looked at their cousin's sassy gesture of putting away the longbow, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised—the imperial edict of marriage has been issued, shouldn't it be said that they should learn etiquette at home and cultivate their character?

Cousin Zhao Zhao deserves to be Cousin Zhao Zhao.

The astonishment of the two little girls quickly turned into admiration unconditionally.

After Xu Mingyi changed, he sat down with his two cousins ​​to have tea and chat.

The melon and fruit snacks are exquisitely prepared, and there are no outsiders around, so the Cui family sisters are not restrained.

In Xiyuan in early autumn, the leaves of ginkgo trees are yellowed around the edges, and the green and yellow are overlapping.

The three girls were sitting in the hall talking and laughing softly, the honey tea in their hands was clear and sweet.

Cui Yunqing looked at the girl who was talking with them from time to time.

Nowadays, there is so much excitement outside because of the imperial decree of granting marriage, and even in this excitement, impetuousness and noise under the balance of pros and cons can be seen everywhere.

But Cousin Zhaozhao's place is like another world, and people can't feel the slightest noise from people's hearts.

Looking back on the past, no matter when and what happened, Cousin Zhaozhao seemed to be always sober and determined, and would never be affected by the things around her.

Cousin Zhaozhao, who was once such, reached out to her and rescued her from the darkness.

I heard that the prince's wedding process is complicated, and it will take at least a year to prepare——

When she had enough time, she thought about embroidering a screen as a boxing gift for Cousin Zhaozhao.

When she came here, she was still hesitating about what to embroider, but at this moment, she suddenly knew what to embroider was most suitable.

...

An autumn rain fell, adding a bit of coldness to Beijing.

All the big and small things around me are going on in an orderly manner, everyone seems to have something to be busy with, but Xu Mingyi has become the most leisurely one.

Early this morning, she who hadn't gone out for several days took Xu Mingshi in a carriage and left Qingyunfang.

When the carriage passed Dingnan Palace, it stopped for a moment.

Not long after, Wu Jingying, who was wearing a fine silk beanie with ginger yellow embroidered lotus patterns, came out of the gate of Dingnan Palace accompanied by a nun, and a boy was beside her.

Seeing the complaint, Xu Ming got out of the carriage and saluted: "Aunt Wu."

Then he looked at the boy and said with a smile, "This is Wu Shisun, right?"

Wu Ran, who has now inherited the throne as the grandson of King Dingnan, raised his hand and saluted: "Exactly."

Who is this girl?

While the boy was thinking, his eyes fell on the carriage behind Xu Mingyi, and he couldn't help being extremely surprised to see the emblem of Dongyang Palace on it.

The carriage belongs to Dongyang Palace...

And this girl—

Could it be his rumored future sister-in-law!

The rumors... are indeed true!

Although they were both in Beijing, this was the first time he saw Xu Mingyi.

"Azhang, this is Miss Xu."

Hearing his aunt's reminder, Wu Ran gave another salute, and tried to look at the person smiling at him with less curious eyes.

The four eyes met, and the smile in Xu Mingyi's eyes became stronger, as if seeing many past events through the boy in front of him.

Wu Ran blinked.

Even though it was the first time we met, why do you feel that you have a sense of deja vu with your future sister-in-law?

Could it be that this is what Mr. Fang said about the so-called sense of fate, fate is destined to be a family?

The boy couldn't explain this inexplicable sense of familiarity, so he decided that it was probably the case.

Several people got into the carriage separately.

When a group of carriages and horses passed through the long street, a drizzle fell silently from the gloomy sky.

The carriage drove for more than a quarter of an hour, and finally stopped in front of a mansion.

Above the gate of the mansion, there is a plaque hanging on it, with the four characters "Rongjun Wangfu" written on it.

A group of people got out of the carriage, and the servant girl was holding an umbrella at the side. After being informed by the disciples, they were invited into the mansion.

The few people did not go to the front hall, but were taken directly to the residence of King Rongjun.

This place used to be the residence outside the palace of Emperor Fei when he was established as King Rong.

But as soon as you step into the hall, you can smell the strong medicinal smell that cannot be suppressed by the incense pills in the furnace.

Divine doctor Qiu came out first.

He was entrusted by Xu Mingyi to come to treat Rongjun Wang, and roughly calculated, he has lived in the Junwang's mansion for more than two months.
