Chapter 1362: Don’t be so displeased with your son-in-law that you can’t help but beat him up
The more Gu Xiu Niang thought about it, the worse it became.
"No, no..." Gu Xiuniang waved her hands repeatedly.
Tang Bao said as a matter of course: "Why not? You are my master, my home is your home, you should marry out of my princess's mansion."
Ancient Embroidery Lady: “…”
This sounds reasonable, but if you think about it carefully...
"Tang Bao is right. It would be best to marry from the Princess's Mansion." Old Lady Su also agreed with Tang Bao's opinion.
Not only did Old Lady Su agree, but the Su family always unanimously approved Tang Bao's opinions.
This time is no exception.
So, Gu Xiu Niang was packed up by Old Lady Su and several of her daughters-in-law and sent directly to the Princess's Mansion.
In the princess's mansion, Tang Bao gave an order and everyone in the mansion took action.
The two housemaids led the maids, pasting wedding characters everywhere and hanging red silk on the doors...
The servants, under the direction of the outer courtyard steward, excitedly went to buy firecrackers, red paper, and red candles...
The entire princess's mansion was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Passersby passing by the Princess's Mansion frequently looked inside.
It looks like a wedding is about to take place in this princess's mansion.
Could it be that Princess Ford's marriage has been decided...
"Oh! I wonder which young master is so lucky to marry this little genius doctor?"
"That's right! This is probably smoke coming out of our ancestors' graves..."
"More than that? I wonder how many lifetimes I've cultivated merits..."
“That’s right…”
For a time, the rumor that Princess Fude was engaged and planning a wedding spread rapidly throughout the capital, like mushrooms after rain...
"What's going on?" Xuanyuan Jin asked with a dark face.
Zhang Cheng secretly glanced at his master and lit a candle for the people who were overthinking.
"My Lord, it's Lin Enyi who's going to marry Gu Xiu Niang. The princess is preparing a dowry for her, hoping she'll get married in the princess's mansion." Zhang Cheng said, "I don't know how those people spread the word and it turned into this..."
Xuanyuan Jin: "...Among those spreading rumors, catch some idlers or those who have some leverage, and throw them into the mines outside the capital to quarry stones, so that they won't be bored!"
"Yes, master!" Zhang Cheng's expression became serious.
He knew this would happen!
Xuanyuan Jin frowned and glanced at the account book in his hand. The more he looked, the more upset he became.
He didn't like reading these things originally, but his father asked him to serve in the Ministry of Revenue, so he naturally understood his father's deep meaning.
Among the six ministries, he has worked in the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites.
Now, letting him come to the Ministry of Revenue should be to let him understand Dayan’s taxation, financial resources, etc.
Indeed, if he didn't know, he really wouldn't know that there was only this much money in the national treasury.
He had always believed that the weather had been good in recent years, and with the income from several gold mines, the country's financial resources should be growing steadily.
Clinker, there is growth, but the growth is too little!
If we go to war with Northern Qi, won’t the national treasury be emptied in an instant?
It seems that we must fill the national treasury...
Xuanyuan Jin couldn't help but think of the money rat in Tang Bao's hand.
Humph! It's quite slick, and it's time for it to do something.
Xuanyuan Jin simply threw down the account book in his hand and asked, "Is there still no news about Prince Rong and others?"
Although he is now listed in the Ministry of Revenue, he is still thinking about Prince Rong's rebellion.
Not to mention anything else, given the bad relationship between Prince Rong's Mansion and Tang Bao, Xuanyuan Jin will not be able to rest assured as long as Prince Rong and Prince Rong's son cannot be captured.
Zhao Wu immediately shook his head and said, "Our people haven't found any clues."
It has to be said that Prince Rong and others seemed to have suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
"What about the border?" Xuanyuan Jin asked again.
"Princess Yunshuang acted decisively and arrested several people, stabilizing the situation."
"Still no news from King Xiaoyao?"
"No..." Zhao Wu looked a little hesitant.
"Speak!" Xuanyuan Jin looked at Zhao Wu with dignity.
Zhao Wu only felt an invisible pressure coming towards him.
His heart trembled, and he blurted out, "The news that the women of Prince Rong's mansion have been captured and will soon be beheaded has spread throughout Dayan. Prince Xiaoyao hasn't shown up yet. Has he given up on saving his daughter? Or does he have other plans?"
Xuanyuan Jin said with certainty: "No matter what the reason is, King Xiaoyao will appear! Unless——"
The person is no longer here!
Xuanyuan Jin didn't know that King Xiaoyao was drinking tea with the emperor at that moment.
"This tea was picked by me personally. It's new this spring. Your Majesty, please have a taste."
As King Xiaoyao spoke, he poured two cups of tea, picked them up first, and took a sip to prove that they were non-toxic.
In the past, given his relationship with the emperor, he wouldn't have to be so cautious.
It’s just that the past is the past and the present is the present, they are not the same.
Emperor Tianxi laughed heartily and said, "I must taste the tea that Yuzhi picked with her own hands."
Yuzhi is the name of King Xiaoyao.
After Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, he picked up the exquisite white porcelain teacup with green glaze and cloud dragon pattern and put it to his nose to smell it.
"Mm, yes, the fragrance is light but very elegant."
Emperor Tianxi finished speaking and took a small sip.
Then, his eyes lit up and he said, "Good tea!"
Prince Xiaoyao smiled and said, "It is my honor that Your Majesty likes it. It is worth my while to come all the way from Jiangnan to bring it to Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianxi raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Did Yuzhi really come here simply to bring me tea?"
King Xiaoyao's expression changed, and he immediately stood up, lifted his robe and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I deserve to die! I failed to educate my daughter properly, causing her to become dull and insensitive. Although I am the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong's Mansion, I failed to realize that Prince Rong was plotting rebellion sooner, which nearly led to a catastrophe. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
After saying this, he touched the ground with his head and kowtowed deeply.
The meaning of King Xiaoyao's words was very clear. His daughter was dull and therefore failed to notice King Rong's rebellion.
Otherwise, they would definitely give advice or even inform on you.
Emperor Tianxi naturally understood the meaning of King Xiaoyao's words. He looked at King Xiaoyao for a long time before saying, "Yuzhi, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
King Xiaoyao felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
"I am guilty and dare not stand up," said King Xiaoyao. "I feel guilty towards Your Majesty and am willing to demote myself to a commoner. I beg Your Majesty to grant me this."
After King Xiaoyao finished speaking, he took out the prince's treasure book and golden seal from his arms and raised them high above his head with both hands.
"However, Your Majesty, please consider my dedication to Great Yan and my contributions and allow me to enter the Heavenly Prison and meet that foolish and rebellious girl."
When King Xiaoyao said this, tears welled up in his eyes.
Then, he continued, "Although that rebellious girl is foolish, she has been with me since she was young. She has been in and out of the military camp and fought on the battlefield. She is a person of integrity and strong character. If she were a man, she would definitely be able to guard the border for the emperor..."
Unfortunately, it was a daughter and she had to get married in the end.
Moreover, he was the person designated by Your Majesty.
To be honest, King Xiaoyao also feels resentful.
His daughter is so good, but the emperor only arranged such a marriage for her.
In his opinion, Prince Rong was not worthy of his daughter at all.
His daughter deserves a man who can stand tall and proud!
Because of this, he did not wait until his daughter got married and went on a journey around the world.
To avoid being displeased with the son-in-law and beating him up.
