Chapter 20 The Imperial Edict Arrives
Old Lady Zhou glanced at everyone in the mansion and replied cautiously, "Eunuch Wang! Only the disobedient granddaughter Qin Yuyao is not here.
I immediately sent someone to find her. She was usually disobedient and went against everyone in the mansion.
I'm sorry to have made you laugh."
Alas! The old woman sighed deliberately, "My granddaughter speaks harshly and has a bad temper. If I do anything inconsiderate later, please forgive me, father-in-law.
After all, she lost her mother when she was young and has no one to discipline her. I am old and useless now, and she doesn't listen to me anymore."
How could Wang Dequan not understand what the old woman meant? He was the chief eunuch of the emperor.
The best at understanding people's hearts.
The housekeeper brought Nangong Xue to the main hall, and Wang Dequan took a look at Nangong Xue.
Wasn't it rumored that the Shangshu Mansion's daughter was a good-for-nothing? With such a lively look and beautiful appearance, she was definitely not a fool.
It seems that the rumor is wrong. I understand now when I think about what the old lady said just now.
It seems that it is difficult to survive in a big family without being favored. There are so many dirty things.
The old woman saw that Nangong Xue did not say hello to Eunuch Wang and just stood there straight.
He was so angry that he reached out to pinch Nangong Xue, but Nangong Xue dodged it by cleverly moving sideways.
Almost pinched Qin Yuyan.
Wang Dequan said in a shrill voice: "Everyone in the Minister of Rites' Mansion, please accept the order."
Everyone knelt down, only Nangong Xue squatted there and cursed in her heart.
This damn dog emperor actually made me kneel down. Next time I see you, I will definitely give you some medicine.
You've been flaunting your stinky imperial power all day long, and the country is almost in danger of collapse. It seems you're a tyrant ruler.
Wang Dequan took out the imperial edict and began to read it.
"By the Will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees this.
I have heard that the daughter of the Minister of Rites is dignified and strong, beautiful and intelligent, well-read, and proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
My prince, the War King Dongfang Chen, is in his prime, but he has outstanding martial arts skills and kills enemies bravely, which makes me very happy.
The wedding was specially granted to the Shangshu's legitimate daughter. The two were a perfect match made in heaven, made for each other, and a beautiful couple.
I hereby grant this marriage, and all ceremonies shall be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory, and an auspicious date shall be chosen for the wedding.
I hereby order you."
After Wang Dequan read the imperial edict, everyone was in disbelief. Their Shangshu Mansion was going to become a royal family, and this was the King of War.
Everyone quickly came to their senses and immediately kowtowed respectfully, "Thank you for the grace of the Emperor. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
"Everyone, get up! I have something else to do at home, so I'll go back to the palace first. But congratulations first."
Old Mrs. Zhou immediately asked the housekeeper to stuff a big bag of silver into Wang Dequan's pocket.
Wang Dequan took it in his hand and weighed it, feeling very satisfied.
Since it has no weight, it must be a silver note. It seems his trip was not in vain.
As soon as Wang Dequan left, Qin Yuwei looked at Nangong Xue with a provocative look.
"Sister! I will be the Princess of Zhan from now on, so you must bow to me when you see me.
Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the royal family," Qin Yuyan did not object.
Anyway, she likes the second prince Dongfang Qi, and she wants to be the queen in the future.
Although Princess Zhan is good, she is still far inferior to the Queen.
Nangong Xue: "That has to wait until you become the Princess of Zhan. You haven't even started yet and you're already showing off. Your IQ is truly unmatched.
How did someone like you manage to survive to this day? I'm really worried about your IQ.
Go ahead and show off, brother. Let's go."
"Okay, sis."
Qin Yunxuan's body has almost recovered, but he still looks weak in front of outsiders.
He couldn't bring trouble to his sister. If other people knew that his sister had medical skills and such good medicine, those jackals, tigers and leopards would definitely not let her go.
Zhou Yunjin was also very happy because her daughters were all good-looking.
The eldest daughter has already been chosen by the second prince, and she has no objection to which of the remaining two daughters becomes the Princess of Zhan.
Her life finally has hope, and now she is the grandmother in charge.
She is very happy that her daughters are living better than each other. Gu Qingyan, I'm afraid that even the body of you, the little bitch, will not be found.
Soon the news that the Shangshu Mansion was granted marriage to the Zhanwang Mansion spread in Kyoto.
Many noble ladies from aristocratic families gnashed their teeth in anger. What kind of person is the Qin family? How can they be worthy of it?
The War King can only rely on them. Since there is an obstacle, they just need to remove it.
The study of Prince Zhan's mansion.
When Qiao Beichen saw Dongfang Chen remained silent, he thought that this man had gone crazy due to anger.
"Chen, are you okay? Don't be angry. What do you want us to do? Just give me a word."
Dongfang Chen: "I'm fine, I'm just wondering if the old emperor has lived too leisurely?
I've started planning my marriage, which is really great."
Ye Shiyang: "Chen, do you think I should poison him and kill him immediately? That way you can take the position directly.
There's no need to worry about anything."
Everyone in the room looked at Ye Shiyang as if he were a fool.
An Yi had a cold face with no expression, but the corners of his mouth twitched when he heard this.
Yan Si Niang threw an apple over and said, "Listen, listen to what you are saying. Aren't you afraid that the master will punish you? Are you itching for trouble?
He is indeed a naive young man with a lot of talk but no real sense of responsibility.
Who would have thought that the owner behind the famous Caiyun Tower in Beijing was actually Dongfang Chen.
It is easiest to get information in brothels because many people here completely let go and forget who they are and their names.
After drinking a few cups of horse urine, everything that should and shouldn't be said came out in one go.
Yan Si Niang still has her charm, a well-proportioned figure, and a beautiful face.
Many dignitaries in the capital fell in love with her.
But she particularly disliked these people. If it weren't for her master's cause, she would have kicked them away.
Ye Shiyang also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.
"Well... let's continue, where were we just now?
Chen! What are you thinking? Tell us what you are thinking. You want to accept the Shangshu Mansion's daughter as your principal wife.
It’s better to let her give up on her own.”
Only the military advisor suddenly thought of a question, "Your Majesty, have you thought of a question?"
"oh???"
Everyone looked at Qiao Beichen in confusion, "Military Advisor, what's your problem? Tell me."
You don't know how annoying it is to be like this, saying half and leaving the other half, it drives people who are impatient to death."
"You may have forgotten that the Shangshu Mansion now has several legitimate daughters."
"The old emperor's decree didn't specify who would be the princess. Who do you think the Shangshu Mansion plans to marry?"
