Huan Yue and Wen Miao stepped forward together to receive their reward.
Wenmiao was also quite pleased; the Crown Princess was indeed a good person.
Marrying the eldest son of a concubine means facing some issues, even if you don't have the heart for it.
The Crown Princess is easy to get along with, so Wenmiao's life will be much easier from now on.
On the stage, Consort Shen looked at Miss Wen and felt increasingly ashamed, but she had to hold back and not lose face.
If she were to act all mournful and pitiful as if the saint had wronged her, it would make the saint lose face.
To say that the emperor didn't do anything to her is simply a matter of her falling out of favor. That's just how Lady Dong is; she probably just wants her to suffer the consequences sooner.
Wenmiao knelt down respectfully.
Huan Yue was even more unrestrained. As long as someone was there to uphold the rules, that was enough. She told the emperor, "I want a golden hoe."
Jin Sheng was stunned: "What do you need a golden hoe for? Did you hit your head again?"
As long as everyone knows that she hit her head, they know that Pei Huanying did it.
Huan Yue explained, "Although I can't farm, and it's not my place to fight crime and help the weak, it's gold!"
He chuckled and said, "You're still short of gold?"
Huan Yue said, "This is different from lack. Who wouldn't want more imperial favor?"
The old man was amused: "You've silenced everyone with just one sentence."
Huan Yue said, "I've hit my head, Your Majesty and the Ancestor should pamper me even more."
The sage feigned anger: "That's all, you may leave."
Huan Yue stood up and reminded her again, "It doesn't matter if the golden hoe is a little small. I carry it with me and look at it every day."
I wonder how many people are jealous!
A patch of green chives in spring, the fragrance of rice blossoms for miles around—this must have touched the heart of a sage.
Although Wen Miao was conventional and proper, that was her advantage.
When Di Baose saw Huan Yue return, she felt that Huan Yue seemed to be doing it on purpose. It seemed unnecessary to say she was flattering Grand Tutor Wen.
However, today we gave them plenty of face, and took the opportunity to put down the Dong family.
Prince Peng is the eldest son of the emperor. In terms of taking concubines, Miss Wen is far superior to Pei Huanying.
Dong is just messing around; if she's dismissed, nobody will have much to say.
Madam Dong wanted to leave Miss Wen to her son, but if her son could marry her, why couldn't Prince Peng?
Brothers fighting over a wife is not the end of it.
Therefore, Huan Yue needs to act quickly, because once a dispute breaks out, Miss Wen will be the most unlucky one.
Wen Zhongqing was quite old, but he quickly figured it out.
The marriage was arranged on the spot.
King Peng and Wenmiao expressed their gratitude.
This joyous occasion filled the Linde Hall with immense happiness!
The emperor asked Consort Shen, "Your son is taking a concubine, can you handle it?"
Consort Shen hurriedly replied, "This concubine may."
This is already a great favor. Besides, the prince has his own set of rules for taking concubines, and Consort Shen has little to do with it.
In other words, whether she, as a mother, had any thoughts, Consort Shen Xian did not, so she responded without hesitation, and even if she didn't know, she had to learn.
Xie Zhou advised his father, the emperor, that "Shen Ziming has served as an official for many years, working diligently and earning a good reputation."
Then he thought, "Then I'll transfer him to the position of Sima of Sheng'an Prefecture."
Grand Secretary Xu said there was no problem, as a Sima position had just become available.
Consort Shen was not very familiar with the inner palace, but she probably knew about it.
Others may know better.
Shen Ziming is Shen Xianfei's elder brother. He has been working in the local area for many years, and his career has been neither particularly good nor bad.
Suddenly, the Crown Prince announced that he was to become an official in the capital!
Do you know how many people are watching every single pit in the capital? Not to mention Sima, even the horse breeders are watched by many people.
Everyone knows how special Sheng'an Prefecture is. The prefect is a high-ranking official of the third rank, and ordinary people cannot control this place.
Sima is a fourth-rank official, which is not low for many people, even the Pei family does not have one.
Moreover, if he does a good job and becomes a prefect, he might be granted a title in the future, and the Shen family will rise to prominence!
It's that simple.
Suddenly, everyone became interested in the eldest prince again. As long as the crown prince took a liking to him, Prince Peng could still make some money.
Xie Zhou then said, "I've heard that the eldest son of the Shen family was the top scholar in the imperial examination?"
Prince Peng knelt and reported to his father, the emperor: "Shen Yanzong was the top scholar in the provincial examination in the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Qiande. He then fell and injured his leg in a heavy rain and has been staying at home ever since."
He frowned: "How about now?"
King Peng replied, "They said it's fine for daily life."
The Emperor nodded: "Then I will go back to the capital with Shen Ziming and meet Consort Xian then."
Consort Shen thanked the emperor while crying.
Her nephew passed the provincial examination at the age of seventeen and was planning to go to the capital to take the imperial examination, but he fell and died. Anyone can guess what the reason was.
I'm afraid I might never see a day when I can finally succeed.
Consort Shen had no other thoughts, but her nephew was talented, and she always hoped that he would do well.
A man still has to fight for himself. Consort Shen can't offer any help.
However, Consort Shen is very grateful to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and is probably only giving the Crown Prince face now.
If Prince Peng marries Miss Wen, there are still benefits to come.
What is Wen Taifu? Does the top scholar in the provincial examination have to be to his liking? Or if they are, then their future is bright.
Prince Peng got in touch with Grand Tutor Wen.
The Miss Lü whom Wen Yuan was to marry was General Lü's only legitimate daughter.
It could also be said that Peng Wang had an extra layer of protection behind him.
Now that's what a king should be like.
The Dong family and a group of people returned to fight.
Since the Dong family was not deposed, they still sat next to the emperor.
Sit down, she is the Empress of Great Zhao!
No matter what others think, no matter how beautiful Consort Cui is, Lady Dong is the Empress!
Xie Zhou watched as Dong Shi continued her antics, and he couldn't stop her.
Lady Dong was initially unwilling, but since things had already started, she had no choice but to continue, otherwise King Qi would lose face.
Besides, when there's a happy occasion, it's easier to plead for leniency.
Therefore, Lady Dong made some preparations and then knelt down to ask the emperor for permission: "I have heard that the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Jianping is virtuous and gentle, and is suitable to be married to the Prince of Qi."
Huan Yue and Di Baose sat in the back, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone was a little confused.
They watched as Marquis Jianping went up to acknowledge it.
It means that both parties have reached an agreement and are waiting for the marriage to be officially granted.
Di Baose blinked hard.
Huan Yue thought she was a bit stupid.
Even if Di Baose is stupid, she can't be as stupid as Dong Shi.
Pei Su, the Marquis of Jianping and the Marquis of Jianchang, were about the same age, and they were enfeoffed in the same batch.
However, while the Marquis of Jianchang fell from grace, the Marquis of Jianping fared much better.
The current Marquis of Jianping has three sons, and the second son has become a high-ranking official in charge of a region. Therefore, the Dong family made the right choice in selecting the Marquis of Jianping's household.
In general, the Jianping Marquis's Mansion is a combination of the Jianchang Marquis's Mansion and the Luo family, possessing both historical and contemporary elements.
What's so strange to everyone?
She was the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Jianping, born into the eldest branch of the family.
The eldest son of the Marquis of Jianping was a well-known figure, favored by his concubine and disgraced by his wife.
After the Lady Hou passed away a few years ago, the concubine managed the household affairs.
His legal wife and eldest granddaughter were practically invisible, much like Consort Shen.
So, are you going to betroth this nobody to the King of Qi?
Is Ms. Dong serious?
Did you suffer such a huge shock?
Will they break off the engagement under unclear pretexts, or will they think the legitimate daughter is easy to manipulate? In any case, what they want is the Marquis of Jianping's mansion; is a woman unimportant? The legitimate daughter can't possibly be someone like Miss Wen who hides away.
Moreover, the Marquis of Jianping firmly stood by Dong Xu's side, and the Marquis of Jianping's family owes its current status to Dong Xu.
This arranged marriage is essentially unprofitable; perhaps it's just a way to use a joyous occasion to ward off bad luck?
Anyway, the Marquis of Jianping's granddaughter is insignificant; we can do whatever we want with her. They are absolutely capable of doing such a thing.
