Zhao Wenxiang said softly, "Master Lu, as far as I know, when your wife discussed with my wife, she didn't say that the marriage partner was my son Zhao Hao, right?"
"Well, Naoki is our adopted son, I thought you already knew about this."
"Could it be that you all don't know that Zhiqian is our adopted son?"
"Hey, this is a huge misunderstanding!"
"However, now that things have come to this, in my opinion, my son Zhiqian and your daughter are also a perfect match made in heaven."
"Why not, let's just go with the flow and hold this wedding with them, what do you think?"
Lu Shanhe looked unhappy.
"this……"
Say agree?
Just kidding, if I could agree to this, I would have agreed to it long ago.
Say you disagree?
Isn't this giving Zhao Wenxiang no face at all in front of these nobles?
If you offend Zhao Wenxiang, you will offend a lot of big shots.
What should I do?
Lu Shanhe instantly understood what it felt like to be in a difficult situation.
However, it is absolutely impossible to get him to nod.
Just when the stalemate occurred, a voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
"The imperial edict has arrived!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads and looked towards the door.
Then, Eunuch Qu, accompanied by two young eunuchs, walked in quickly from outside.
Everyone immediately stood up from their seats.
Eunuch Qu walked to the middle and stood still. He nodded to Zhao Hao and then said loudly, "Imperial decree!"
Everyone present knelt down immediately.
After everyone knelt down, Eunuch Qu slowly unfolded the imperial edict and began to read it.
"The Emperor said: I am delighted to hear that the Internal Secretary has adopted a new son and is planning a wedding for him. I am overjoyed."
"Zheng Jia is honest and modest. He has been working at Qinzhou Iron and Steel Smelting Workshop in recent years. He has been conscientious and dedicated to his duties. I am very pleased."
"Today is your wedding day, and I grant you a golden belt and a purple crown, and promote you to the fourth rank."
"I hope your family will continue to work hard and make new contributions to the court."
"So ordered!"
Zheng Zhiqian hurriedly said respectfully: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
He immediately raised his hands high and took the imperial edict, and then everyone slowly stood up.
Before, both Zheng Zhiqian and Wang Mengyu were awarded purple robes.
Now, going one step further, he has a golden waist and jade belt, and a purple crown. This configuration is equivalent to the lowest rank of marquis.
He was not conferred the title of marquis, but it was equivalent to the status of a marquis.
This means that he is only one step away from being truly conferred the title of Marquis.
After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, the people of higher status present actually understood what was going on.
This must be because His Majesty gave face to the Zhao family and issued such an imperial decree.
However, the Zheng family and the Lu family did not know.
I just felt my head buzzing.
Both families looked at Zheng Zhiqian with an incredible look in their eyes.
Has this kid actually come to this point?
Even His Majesty personally issued an edict to congratulate him on his wedding?
Lu Shanhe and Zou were also dumbfounded.
If, just now, the two of them still wanted to resist and refused to accept the Zhao family's substitution.
But now, even His Majesty's imperial edict has been issued.
How can you not accept it?
Although this is not an arranged marriage, what is the difference between it and an arranged marriage?
Including Zheng Zhiqian, no one had expected that His Majesty would actually issue an imperial edict.
However, he knew in his heart that this must have been requested by Brother Hao in front of His Majesty.
Therefore, I felt even more grateful to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao, who had been standing by without saying a word, walked up to Zou.
He smiled and said, "Madam Lu, even His Majesty has issued an edict to congratulate you. It seems that this marriage is indeed a good match."
"What do you think?"
Zou's face turned pale and blue, her mouth was slightly open, but she didn't say a word.
Zhao Hao laughed, turned around and shouted, "Okay, since His Majesty's decree has arrived, let's continue."
"Don't delay the auspicious time!"
"Drums, start!"
Immediately, the musicians who had been prepared began to play instruments and sing.
The wedding process officially begins.
First, bow to heaven and earth, then bow to parents, and then husband and wife bow to each other, no one is left out.
Finally, she was sent to the bridal chamber.
During the process, the Zheng family and the Lu family could only watch helplessly, and everyone felt as uncomfortable as if they had eaten a fly.
But there is nothing we can do.
When the process was over, Lu Shanhe and Zou didn't even sit down. They turned around and left without saying a word.
The people from the Zheng family did not stay and followed them away.
It would be better if the two families left, so Zhao Hao immediately started to make arrangements.
"Everyone, please eat and drink well. The court is busy with affairs, and there are not many opportunities for you to sit together like this."
He was unusually active today, toasting at each table on behalf of Zheng Zhiqian.
At this moment, Zheng Zhiqian and Lu Ying were sent back to the bridal chamber that had been prepared long ago.
He didn't even cover his head with Zheng Zhiqian first.
After being helped to sit down on the bed, Lu Ying could no longer bear it and lifted the veil herself.
After seeing that the person in front of him was indeed Zheng Zhiqian, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Today, so many things have changed that she is a little overwhelmed.
Not bad, not bad.
The person in front of me is right.
