Chapter 163: Marriage Granted
Seeing that his closest relatives all agreed, Yu Zheng thought for a long time and finally nodded.
Concubine Yu Gui and the emperor breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, as if he was afraid that Yu Zheng would go back on his word, the emperor immediately asked his attendants to bring the imperial seal and issued an imperial marriage grant while the iron was hot.
Concubine Yu Gui personally wrote the pen and ink, and when the seal fell, she and the emperor smiled at each other. Concubine
Yu Gui was relieved that the important matter that she had been thinking about for a long time had been settled, and she happily ate a full bowl of rice at lunch.
The maidservant beside him was surprised and said, "Your Majesty hasn't had such a good appetite for a long time."
Yu Zheng felt guilty when he heard it.
Yu Lan saw through his thoughts and whispered in his ear, "Okay, having a child soon after marriage will be the best compensation and comfort for your mother."
"Yeah, I think so too." Yu Zheng replied in a low voice.
Yu Lan smiled after hearing this and ate half a bowl of rice more.
Putting aside her personal relationship with Jiang Shu, Yu Zheng should indeed marry a concubine. Of course, it would be even better if he married Jiang Shu. After all,
she was someone Yu Zheng had been thinking about for many years.
One of them, the brother and sister, must get what he wants.
The weather in July was very hot. In the afternoon, Jiang Shu lay on the couch, enjoying the coolness brought by the ice mirror, and felt drowsy.
"Girl, he's here again!" Tan Yu hurried into the house, sweating profusely.
Jiang Shu was awakened, covered his hands and yawned, and asked: "Who is here again?"
Chu Yu also said: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Tan Yu hurriedly said: "Marquis Jing'an, he is here again!"
Jiang Shu frowned and said impatiently: "Let him go, I won't see him."
"I have chased him away several times. He is drunk and refuses to leave. He must see the girl." Tan Yu stamped her feet. She had never seen such a shameless and persistent person.
When he was in the Marquis Jing'an Mansion, he always looked high and mighty, and looked disdainful and indifferent to them. Now that they are divorced, he is shameless and keeps pestering them again and again, which is really disgusting.
"What does he want to do!" Jiang Shu got up angrily, very annoyed.
The drunken Shen Changze was fooling around at the door of Jiang's house. Due to his identity, the Jiang family's servants did not dare to do anything to him, which was a headache.
Seeing Jiang Shu, the servant felt like seeing a savior.
"Let him in." Jiang Shu looked very unhappy.
If Shen Changze continues to make trouble at the door, rumors will spread again.
"Madam, I was wrong. How about you come back with me?" As soon as Shen Changze saw Jiang Shu, he rushed towards her and wanted to hug her.
Jiang Ning, who rushed over after hearing the news, pushed Shen Changze away fiercely and said, "Stay away from my sister."
Jiang Shu took two steps back, looked at the drunk Shen Changze and said coldly with disgust, "I have divorced you a long time ago, Marquis Jing'an, please respect yourself."
"No, I don't want to divorce, I regret it." Shen Changze looked at Jiang Shu with bloodshot eyes,
his face full of pain and regret. But even if he regretted it to death, Jiang Shu had no intention of turning back.
"You still have the nerve to come, do you still remember what I said?" Jiang Ning asked angrily while holding Shen Changze's collar.
Shen Changze was stunned for a moment, then he said, "You can hit me, I will never fight back."
"That's what you said." Jiang Ning raised his fist and hit Shen Changze's face hard.
He had wanted to hit him for a long time.
He has always been afraid that he has trouble with the future brother -in -law, but now with Yu Yan, he is not afraid. I owed my sister, and now we are flat. If you want to be a man, do n’t
entangle my sister . "Shen Changze, you are a general after all, give yourself some dignity, don't let me look down on you." Shen Changze was shocked when he heard this, and he was mostly sober. He looked at Jiang Shu, who was so close yet so far away, and opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. The undisguised hatred on Jiang Shu's face deeply hurt him. "Hurry up." Jiang Ning took the black dog blood prepared by the servants and splashed Shen Changze's head. Jiang Shu's almond eyes widened in shock, and he didn't expect Jiang Ning to do this. Dog blood all over his head! Shen Changze had never been so cruel before, and he had no face to face Jiang Shu anymore, and left in a daze. As soon as he walked out of Jiang's house, he saw a carriage stopped. Three palace servants got off the carriage, led by Gao Gonggong, the emperor's close attendant, holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand. That thing looked familiar, Shen Changze recognized it at a glance, it was an imperial edict! Shen Changze's description was too shabby, and he was standing on the corner of the street, Gao Gonggong did not recognize him, and went straight into the Jiang residence. Why did Gao Gonggong go into the Jiang family to announce the edict? Shen Changze was full of doubts, but he did not dare to go up and ask, so he had to wait outside the Jiang residence. Just after driving Shen Changze away, the brother and sister were about to go back to the house to talk, and then they heard the servant behind them shouting excitedly: "Miss, Master, the nobles from the palace are here!" The brother and sister turned around and saw Gao Gonggong coming with the imperial edict in his hand. "Is this Miss Jiang?" Gao Gonggong asked in a gentle voice. Jiang Shu straightened his back, bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I, Jiang Shu, have seen you." Eunuch Gao turned aside and said in a panic, "I can't bear it. Miss Jiang, please ask your father and mother to come and receive the order." "Please follow me, Eunuch." Jiang Shu brought Eunuch Gao and the other two to the front hall and ordered the maid to serve tea. Jiang Ning went to call Jiang's father and mother, and Chu Yu followed Jiang Shu's instructions to prepare the reward. After Eunuch Gao finished a cup of tea, Jiang Ning carried Jiang's father on his back and came with Jiang's mother. "I didn't know you were coming, and I'm sorry for not welcoming you." It was the first time that Jiang's father and mother saw the eunuchs in the palace, and they were a little scared.
Eunuch Gao said, "Mr. Jiang, you are too polite. We are here on the orders of the emperor to announce the decree."
After that, Eunuch Gao stood up and walked to the middle of the hall, slowly unfolding the decree.
"Jiang Shu, please accept the decree."
Jiang Shu and the maids and servants all knelt down. Because Jiang's father had difficulty walking, the emperor allowed him to sit and listen to the decree.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: We have heard that the Jiang family has a daughter named Jiang Shu, who is virtuous, upright, and sensible, and has outstanding appearance and character. The Concubine and I are very pleased to hear this. You and Prince Jing are in love with each other, and you are a perfect match. In order to make you a perfect match, you are betrothed to Prince Jing as his princess. All ceremonies will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and an auspicious day will be chosen for the wedding."
"Announce it to the whole country and the envoys. This is it!"
Eunuch Gao closed the imperial edict and presented it to Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu raised his hands above his head and took it respectfully.
Holding the imperial edict in his hands, Jiang Shu trembled slightly.
The position of the principal wife, the imperial edict grants marriage.
Yu Zheng really did it!
Chu Yu helped her up and handed her a bag of gold leaves.
Jiang Shu personally handed it to Eunuch Gao: "It's so hot, thank you for coming here, please have a cup of tea."
Eunuch Gao did not refuse, but accepted it with a smile, said a few words of congratulations and left.
