Kunning Palace.
After Nangong Jiu came out of the imperial study, he went directly to Kunning Palace.
While still outside, I could hear laughter in the hall.
Nangong Jiu was delighted. He directed Xiao Wang to rush towards Shi and shouted happily, "Grandmother, Father, Mother!"
"Jiu'er is back?"
"Yeah!" Nangong Jiu had a smile on his face.
Nangong Yunxue saw the smile on the little guy's face and knew that something good must be happening, so she quickly picked him up.
"Jiu'er, is there any result?"
[Well, that Minister Zhu, because he was too straightforward, he offended many people and wasn't very popular.]
【As for Commander Wang, the ministers praised him more and his popularity was much better.】
[So, considering all aspects, my suggestion is to choose the Wang family.]
Nangong Yunxue nodded happily: "Okay, okay! Mother will send someone to send a letter to your aunt-in-law right away. Let's make it a decision sooner so we can prepare earlier."
Empress Chen was delighted when she heard this and said, "Now that it's decided, let your father grant them marriage."
[My grandfather said we'll be at Kunning Palace soon.]
Nangong Yunxue smiled and nodded.
After talking about Chu Xi's marriage, Nangong Jiu looked at them with a smile.
[One more thing. I dealt with Hong Tianfu again today.]
Nangong Yunxue stared at the little guy who was twisting his body and showing off, his face full of black lines: "You let him expose other people's family scandals again?"
[Yeah, he keeps saying bad things about us in his mind and looks at me with disdain. If I don't deal with him, who should I deal with? This is all his own fault.]
Empress Chen asked with a smile, "Jiu'er, which minister's family scandal did he expose again?"
"There are Lord Li, Lord Qin, and Lord Chen..."
Nangong Jiu stole a glance at his mother, and remembered that she had said that little kids shouldn't listen to other people's privacy, so he quickly swallowed the words he was about to say.
It happened that the young eunuch from Kunning Palace hurried back to report and described in detail what had happened in the court.
"I followed them out of the palace to see if they would beat Hong Tianfu up as they did last time.
The result was strange. They all looked like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooping.
Especially that Hong Tianfu, who left in a daze without even getting in a carriage."
Several people were quite surprised.
Nangong Yunxue was puzzled: "Father said that they don't need to attend court anymore. Are they afraid?"
Empress Chen nodded: "For some people, not being able to attend court is indeed a serious matter.
This means that they may lose their official positions.
Speaking of which, that Lord Qin is a good person, and his son is also good, so why...
Oh, what happened at home was enough to make him very upset.
"If Hong Tianfu had exposed this matter, it wouldn't have been a big deal for Lord Qin, but his son would have been ruined. Who would be willing to marry him, a girl from a good family?"
Nangong Jiu frowned.
It is true that the other ministers are afraid of being punished, so did Hong Tianfu discover something?
If you are smart, you just need to take a closer look at the two incidents and it is not surprising to find some clues.
snort!
It’s good to know.
Scare him to death, let's see if he dares to despise me again?
If you dare to say that I am a pheasant, and provoke me again, I will turn you into a black chicken next time.
A few people were chatting about the affairs of the court when the eunuch guarding the gate came running in: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is coming this way."
【Hehe...Grandfather, grant us a marriage.】
Nangong Jiu slid down from his mother's arms, lowered his head and ran out to meet him.
Empress Chen and others also stood up and walked out.
Nangong Jiu ran fast and met Emperor Dongling outside Kunning Palace.
"Grandpa, grandpa..."
Emperor Dongling hurriedly caught the little man and said, "Run slower, be careful not to fall, it will hurt."
Nangong Jiu patted Xiaoxing hanging on his waist: "Xiaoxing, don't fall."
"Well, you're a safe bet. Xiaoxing really won't let you fall."
The grandfather and grandson chatted and laughed all the way into the hall.
Empress Chen and the other two hurried forward to pay their respects, but Emperor Dongling cheerfully waved his hand, "No thanks!"
Everyone sat down and when the topic of Chu Xi's marriage came up, Emperor Dongling pinched the nose of the little guy in his arms.
"How's it going? You made such a big move, so there should be some results, right?"
[Well, there's a result! We chose the Wang family, Grandfather Emperor. I heard you will grant us a marriage?]
“Commander Wang’s eldest son, Wang Zehao, is a rare young talent. You have good judgment.
Both of their families are my loyal ministers and have made great contributions to Dongling and me.
I am delighted to see the two families marry, and I will grant the marriage. I will have Lai Fu announce the decree this afternoon."
Nangong Jiu clapped his hands with joy.
【Thank you, Grandfather! 】
"Haha...you've been worried about this a lot."
Nangong Jiu twisted his little body and raised his little head proudly.
[That's right! I was involved in the whole thing from beginning to end. I wanted to be the matchmaker, but then they fell in love with each other, so I didn't get involved.]
"Then I'll reward you by letting you eat more. There are many dishes you like for lunch today."
[Okay, okay, eating delicious food is what I’m best at.]
Emperor Dongling was amused by Nangong Jiu.
Afternoon.
Eunuch Wei went to the Chu Mansion to announce the imperial decree granting the marriage.
The whole family followed happily to the Chu Mansion to share in the good fortune.
Everyone from the general's mansion also came after hearing the news, and the two families gathered together happily.
General Chu raised his teacup and said, "Xi'er's marriage is finalized. I'm so happy. Come, let's have a drink of tea instead of wine."
Everyone raised their teacups.
Nangong Jiu followed suit and drank the tea prepared for her in one gulp. Because he drank too quickly, he choked and started coughing.
“Ahem…”
This caused a burst of concern and laughter.
The other side.
The eunuch who announced the decree came to the Wang family to announce the decree, and the Wang family was very surprised.
Wang Zehao even held the imperial edict in his hands, grinning foolishly: "Dad, Mom, she chose me, she chose me!"
"Silly boy, are you happy now?"
"Um!"
Commander Wang repeatedly ordered: "Madam, quickly prepare the gifts and find a matchmaker. We will go to the Chu Mansion tomorrow to discuss the marriage.
Oh, and the betrothal gifts must also be prepared. Once the date is set, send them over as soon as possible."
Madam Wang nodded repeatedly, "Yes, we must hurry. Madam Chu said that they will return to Xiyue in March.
This marriage was arranged by the Crown Princess and Princess Bao, and granted by the Emperor. We must treat them well in the future. Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain."
"Of course!" Commander Wang agreed happily.
Prince's Mansion.
Liu Hao and his family came out of the Chu Mansion and rode back to the mansion in a swaying carriage.
Nangong Jiu lay in Nangong Yunxue's arms.
[Mother, I will not be involved in what happens next. Starting tomorrow, I will guide little Wang Xiaoxing to practice well.]
"When the day comes to return to the General's Mansion, will you go back?"
[Of course I'm going back! I mean, besides going back to the General's Mansion and entering the palace, I won't be involved in anything else.]
"Okay, you guys practice well. But, you're so young, and it's so hard..."
