Upon hearing this, everyone who was eating from the hot pot was shocked.
"Oh no! It's an imperial edict?" Jiang Xinling covered her mouth in fear with her hand that was chewing the skewers.
"Could it be that some second-generation rich kid went to the emperor to ask for an imperial decree?" Jiang Xinling guessed.
"No..." Jiang Wanyue thought for a moment, then smiled.
Since ancient times, no noble family dared to ask the emperor to order them to take concubines.
Therefore, we can rule out the second-generation rich people who have been jumping around in Beijing these two days.
Then... there is only one truth.
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
He quickly reminded everyone to tidy up their appearance and go to receive the order.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: Jiang Xiaoyao's granddaughter, Jiang Yuyao, is of outstanding character and appearance, gentle and generous, and a match made in heaven for Crown Prince Murong Ye. The Empress and I are deeply pleased to hear of this, and hereby appoint her as Crown Princess to rectify her name and make it known to the world."
"All ceremonial ceremonies will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory. An auspicious date will be chosen for the enthronement ceremony. I decree this!"
The eunuch read out the imperial edict in one breath, took a breath, took the tea brought by Jiang Qingqing, drank it all, then took the bulging purse handed to him by Nanny Tang, and his old face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.
"Thank you, ma'am. You are a blessed woman." The old eunuch complimented hurriedly.
"Madam, when I was leaving the palace, I encountered people from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory entering the palace. I guess they came to discuss this matter."
"It's just... on the way here, I heard that the old lady of the former Xuanping Marquis's Mansion had died? Is that true?"
The old eunuch accepted Jiang Qingqing's kindness and became more talkative.
"Yeah," Jiang Qingqing nodded and replied seriously.
"Thank you for your trouble, eunuch. The old lady passed away the night before yesterday, and I helped collect the body yesterday morning."
"Well, then... then the wedding date will probably have to be delayed!" the eunuch said regretfully upon hearing this.
I thought to myself: This damn old woman died at a really bad time.
According to the rules of Xuanlong Country, if someone dies in the family, the immediate family members must observe mourning for three years and no happy events can be held within these three years.
Although Jiang Qingqing divorced, her five daughters were also removed from the Jiang family tree.
Although one does not have to observe a three-year mourning period, the marriage of one's children will need to be postponed.
"Hey, look at my mouth!" As soon as the words came out, the old eunuch realized that he was talking too much, and quickly slapped himself symbolically and laughed.
"It's okay, it's okay, good things take time, good things take time."
"The Crown Prince and Miss Jiang are a perfect match, destined to be together. It just took a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingqing hurried forward to exchange greetings. Before leaving, she asked Nanny Tang to hand a big red envelope to the eunuch who announced the decree.
…
Jiang Yuyao remained in her trance for a long time, holding the imperial edict made of bright yellow brocade, until the eunuch who announced the decree walked away.
She, she, was named the Crown Princess?
Could she be dreaming?
Jiang Yuyao pinched herself belatedly.
Hiss~It hurts!
I'm not dreaming!
【Wow, imperial edict, imperial edict! 】
[This was something the Crown Prince's brother-in-law had to fight openly against the Emperor to get. Tsk tsk~]
[This move by the Crown Prince's brother-in-law is probably intended to severely slap the bets placed against my eldest sister in the gambling houses and teahouses in the city recently.]
[Hey, the prince's brother-in-law is domineeringly protecting his wife online! Wow~ I'm really into it! ]
…
At this moment, in a remote house.
"Miss, everything has been done as you requested. You should hurry and return south with the master and his men to avoid any more trouble."
A man dressed like a guard bowed to the woman with a white hat brim sitting at the stone table, with a hint of worry in his words.
"Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Get out of here!"
Hearing this, the woman lifted the brim of her white hat, revealing that familiar and hateful face.
It was Zhao Mingyue.
However, in just a few days, Zhao Mingyue's face turned pale, and with the seductive red lipstick on her face, she looked like an evil ghost coming to take her life.
"Listen, this princess is not leaving! This princess is not leaving anywhere!"
"I haven't witnessed Jiang Yuyao's downfall yet. Haha, I can't leave! How can I leave?"
Zhao Mingyue laughed wildly, looking like a madman.
That’s right, these days, she was the one who secretly set up all the gambling houses, teahouses and restaurants, and ordered people to spread the word about Jiang Yuyao.
Doesn’t Jiang Yuyao want to be in the spotlight?
Don’t you want to marry into the royal family?
She wanted to see herself involved in such a turmoil and become the talk of all kinds of people.
She just didn't believe that such a situation would not be able to stop Murong Ye from wanting to marry Jiang Yuyao.
Zhao Mingyue pursed her lips and sneered, her eyes full of resentment and madness.
"If I can't get it, no one else can get it!"
…
"Bang!" Almost at the same time, the gate of the yard was kicked open by someone.
A group of people came in one after another and lined up neatly on both sides.
Zhao Mingyue's gaze was fixed on the man in the lead.
He was wearing a moon-white long gown, with a sky-blue brocade robe with down feathers on the outside. He bumped into Zhao Mingyue's sight in the wind and snow.
"Brother Ye, Brother Ye..."
"You're here, you're finally here."
"You came to see me, right? You can't bear to leave me, right?"
Zhao Mingyue looked overjoyed. Ever since what happened at the New Year's banquet, her innocence was completely lost and the Zhao family was ordered to leave the capital. She had tried to write to Murong Ye again and again.
The content of the letter was passionate and bold.
Unfortunately, all the letters fell into oblivion and there was no response.
Now that she could see Murong Ye coming to see her with her own eyes, Zhao Mingyue was undoubtedly ecstatic.
