Chapter 365: Concubine is not a concubine

The scene seemed to have been muted, and there was no more noise than before.

Everyone in the Duke of Chengguo's mansion was stunned, and their heads were buzzing as if they had been hit.

The eunuch who announced the decree smiled, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, "Why don't you accept the decree? Are you dissatisfied with the emperor's arranged marriage?"

This statement finally brought everyone in the Duke of Chengguo's mansion back to their senses.

Xu Muhua gritted her teeth secretly, knelt down and took two steps forward, raised her hands high, "Thank you for your grace, it is a great blessing for me to be married to someone by your Majesty, how can I be dissatisfied? I am so happy, please don't laugh at me, father-in-law."

"Yes, yes, this is a great joy! Look, I am dizzy with this surprise!"

Mother Xu said, but she felt bitter in her heart! ... I really want to curse! How could the emperor suddenly marry Muhua, and to the prince as a concubine!

Bah!

Others care about the status of a concubine, but they don't! She would rather Muhua marry someone else as a wife than enter the royal family as a concubine, a future concubine!

But no matter how dissatisfied she was in her heart, she had to show a happy face.

"That's good, the emperor attaches great importance to this marriage, and said that there will be rewards when the wedding comes!"

The wedding means that the wedding can be held when the concubine enters the palace, as long as it does not go beyond the crown princess.

This is the importance attached to the concubine!

But Xu's mother and others felt that the emperor wanted to make them the Duke of Chengguo Mansion and put Mu Hua on the fire!

The guests who heard the imperial edict buried their heads and looked at each other, and they saw the same thing in each other's eyes.

Sun Xuehe's first reaction after hearing the imperial edict clearly was happiness!

Especially after she saw Pei Shaorong's stunned face full of astonishment and pain, she felt even happier. It's as comfortable as drinking a glass of iced sour plum soup in July and August!

Ah Rong must be in pain now, right? Didn't she always claim to be Xu Muhua's best friend? Didn't she swear that her friendship with Xu Muhua was indestructible?

What about now?

Xu Muhua is also the crown prince's concubine. Although Xu Muhua has a poor background, she met a good man! She was taken back by the Duke of Chengguo and has been included in the family tree. She is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chengguo's mansion. Now she has the princess as her stepmother, so her status is naturally noble. When she enters

the East Palace in the future, she will not be without the qualifications to compete with her, the crown princess!

In this case, can she still swear with a clear conscience that she and Xu Muhua are good sisters? Can she still treat Xu Muhua the same way she treated her?

Humph, Arong had refused to let her enter the East Palace in every word before, which meant that she couldn't enter because they were good friends.

What about now? Isn't her relationship with Xu Muhua better? But Xu Muhua has become the prince's concubine!

After the joy, Sun Xuehe couldn't control her deep jealousy.

She lowered her head and stared at a certain spot on the ground without blinking, and clasped her hands on the ground so hard that she almost broke her nails!

Lu Yingzhu and Mo Ying looked at Pei Shaorong, who seemed to be greatly shocked, with some concern, and didn't pay any attention to Sun Xuehe at all.

Because of the imperial decree of arranged marriage, the coming-of-age ceremony seemed to have changed.

Originally they came to watch the coming-of-age ceremony, but it turned into congratulating Xu Muhua for becoming the prince's concubine.

Xu Muhua smiled on her face, but she was cursing in her heart, not caring about the eldest princess, and cursing the emperor's ancestors for eighteen generations!

After the guests left, in the front hall, Xu's mother and the old lady wiped away the joy just now and turned into sad faces. Xu Muhua's two uncles sitting below also had frowns on their brows, and even Xu Nan and Xu Jinyu were worried.

Song Baotong shook her head and was a little confused.

Isn't it a good thing for the eldest cousin to be the prince's concubine? Why does everyone seem unhappy?

But she didn't dare to ask.

A sister-in-law came to the Song family. The eldest wife stayed there to take care of the two old people. The one who came was Xu's mother's second sister-in-law.

Seeing this, she quietly stood up, called a few children over, and then took them away.

In this situation, she couldn't help much, and couldn't give any ideas, so let them discuss it slowly!

She didn't expect that her sister-in-law's daughter would suddenly be betrothed to the prince as a concubine.

She had heard something about the Chengguo Mansion. In fact, she thought it was a good thing. Didn't the emperor always say that he was suspicious of Chengguo? Now that she was betrothed to the prince, they would be a family. Wouldn't Chengguo Mansion be safe?

But looking at everyone's expressions, they didn't seem to think so. As a woman, she didn't understand.

"This matter...it's a foregone conclusion. We might as well think about it in a positive way."

After a long time, Xu Muhua's uncle said dryly.

Xu Muhua raised her eyelids and drooped them again.

Yes, it's a foregone conclusion, what else can be done?

The emperor obviously did it on purpose, and who knows what evil tricks he has planned.

Her marriage to the prince is definitely not for the good of the Chengguo Mansion, it is definitely to trap the Chengguo Mansion!

Alas, I originally thought that she had avoided the plot in the book and would not enter the East Palace like in the book.

Unexpectedly, hey, the distorted plot was turned back again!

Xu Muhua has to enter the East Palace, right?

"Muhua, this matter...what do you think? If you really don't want to, mother will write a letter to tell your father, and your father will definitely have a way!"

said Xu's mother.

Xu Muhua hurriedly said, "Don't! Mother, please don't write to Dad! At least it's not appropriate to write to Dad now."

"What should we do? She has become the prince's concubine! Concubine sounds good, but it's still not a concubine! Our Xu family's daughters have never thought of being concubines!"

Xu's mother said angrily.

Even if she is a royal concubine, they don't want her!

The wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to deepen a lot, "Minghui is right just now, the matter is a foregone conclusion, we can only think in a positive direction. The imperial decree has been issued, and there is no possibility of changing it."

The emperor will not slap himself in the face, not to mention that the emperor must have his own purpose for doing this. If his purpose is not achieved, there is no way he will give up.

It is impossible for the Chengguo Mansion to make trouble with the emperor for a marriage. This will only make people wonder whether the Chengguo Mansion is relying on military merits and the favor of the late emperor to ignore the royal family.

They were also careless. So many things happened during this period of time, and there was no news from the palace. They relaxed their vigilance and did not expect that the palace had set its sights on Mu Hua's marriage. If they had

thought of this earlier and arranged a marriage for Mu Hua earlier, the emperor would have been helpless.
