Chapter 329 The fourth son of the emperor, Xie Youguang
Chapter 329 The fourth son of the emperor, Xie Youguang
Su Jin got up early, which was rare for him. He personally checked Gu Zixuan and Gu Zilu's clothes. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with them, he asked the servant to accompany them to the palace.
After all, both of his sons are officials now.
However, after the court session, Gu Zixuan brought a piece of news that surprised Su Jin.
"What, the emperor granted you a marriage?"
Gu Zixuan still has no engagement. He used to have one, with Chen Xinlian. Later, Chen Xinlian didn't want him and chose Gu Ziyun. Since then, Gu Zixuan has never been engaged. Later, he went to the battlefield and didn't know whether he would live or die, so no one came to propose marriage. It was not until he was conferred the title of Duke three years ago that some people came, but they had to observe mourning, so Gu Zixuan didn't meet any of them. Although he has no engagement, he has left a good reputation for filial piety. Who would have thought that today, on the first day of court, the emperor would grant him a marriage?
Everyone stared at Gu Zixuan with curiosity.
Su Jin also stared at her son with curiosity and asked excitedly, "Tell me quickly, which girl was given the title?"
Gu Zixuan's expression was still a little dazed. After a while, he said, "The emperor's youngest princess, Princess Mingyu..."
Everyone was shocked, even Gu Zilu's eyes widened slightly.
Good job, brother. You’ve made it big. You’ve even married the princess!
The Emperor's favorite Princess Mingyu is given marriage to the Duke of Huguo?
When this news came out, it caused a sensation in the government and the country.
The emperor married his favorite daughter to Gu Zixuan. What does this mean?
This shows that the emperor wants to make important use of Gu Zixuan!
It seems that Marquis Yong'an is not doing well, and he may even lose his title, but his younger generation is capable, so he can just marry the princess directly?
Many people were envious, and the wedding date was soon set. Yin Zhengnan and Gu Suiyu's wedding were both scheduled for the sixth day of June, which was the best day calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory.
On the sixth day of June, Gu Zixuan and Gu Suiyu got married.
When the imperial edict was handed to Su Jin, she was still confused. The emperor was the same. He had casually set a wedding date for his two children without her consent. The procedures of three matchmakers and six betrothals had not been completed yet, and no one from the Grand Princess's Mansion had come yet!
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw the military commander of the Grand Princess's Mansion.
In the past, it was always the general manager who came, but today Dianjun came, so the matter seemed much more formal. Su Jin knew without thinking that the person who came must be here for this marriage.
Liu Dianjun was full of the airs of a soldier and a bandit, and he was as arrogant as his master. When he saw Su Jin, he didn't even bow his head, and just said, "The Grand Princess invites you to come over. Oh, it's best to bring the Duke of Protectorate with you. Both marriages are considered royal relatives. The emperor wants us to do it together."
If they do it together, then it may be that the same regulations apply. One can only say that Yin Zhengnan is extremely lucky. When he was in the army, he was promoted thanks to Gu Zixuan. Now that he is married, he can still benefit from Gu Zixuan. He also follows Princess Mingyu and follows the regulations for royal relatives.
Tsk tsk tsk.
Su Jin couldn't help but click his tongue.
However, this matter cannot be delayed, so when Gu Zixuan comes back, Su Jin takes people there and also brings Gu Sui Yu with him so that the bride-to-be can listen together.
When Su Jin arrived at the Grand Princess's Mansion, she found out that there were people from the palace as well. In addition to the head nanny, there were also officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department. In short, there were a large number of people, and they all came for the marriage of his son and daughter.
Since there was an outsider coming, Su Jin could no longer be as casual as before. She could only bow solemnly until Zhao Yingqiao nodded to allow her to sit down, and then she sat down.
As for negotiation?
There was really no discussion. It was almost just the officials arguing with the Grand Princess, and all she needed to do was sit back, lower her head, and eat and drink.
After all, she couldn't say much given her status. Besides, so many people were worrying about the children's marriages, so there was no need for her to worry about it, right?
This is called happy leisure.
Su Jin quickly finished the snacks on the plate in front of her. The snacks in the Grand Princess's Mansion were indeed delicious. The chef must be very good. The same thing could be made so beautifully and deliciously.
Seeing that there was no more food, Gu Zixuan next to him pushed the snacks in front of him towards him. Su Jin took a look and saw her son sitting upright, with his back straight and his eyes not looking to the side, but secretly passing snacks to her. He was so adorable no matter how she looked at him.
Su Jin smiled and lowered his head to continue eating and drinking.
"What do you think, Miss Su Liu?"
Su Jin almost choked herself to death at the sudden noise, but it didn't seem good to cough loudly in public, so she could only bite her lips and hold it in.
In short, once you make a sound, it's over and you'll keep coughing.
Everyone was silent for a second, wondering why Su Jin didn't move, and then Gu Zixuan spoke up: "Okay."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone ignored Su Jin and continued talking. Gu Zixuan continued to stare at her. Su Jin hurriedly got up and walked out. When she reached a place where no one was around, she coughed desperately. It was not until Gu Suiyu chased her out, gave her water, and patted her on the back that she finally calmed down a lot.
"Mother, let me walk around with you. It's too boring inside."
Su Jin was touched. How could Gu Suiyu's own marriage be boring? He was afraid that she would feel bored, so he came out to accompany her.
But, they are adults after all, how can they not distinguish the primary from the secondary? Su Jin shook his head and went back with Gu Sui Yu.
So various matters concerning the wedding continued to be discussed, and Su Jin also had to report to the Grand Princess's Mansion every day, just like going to work.
As for Gu Zixuan, he will come after the court session. Although he is the Duke of Protectorate, he also serves as the general, and he has to take care of both court and military affairs.
Time passed quickly and it was April. When Concubine Zhuang's case was completely sorted out and all the troubles were resolved, an imperial edict was posted, which was another major event that shocked the world.
It turns out that the third-rank minister Xie Huaiguang is the son of Concubine Zhuang, and the emperor's lost prince.
Now that the emperor has recognized his son, Xie Huaiguang naturally becomes Zhao Huaiguang, the emperor's fourth son.
The fourth son of the emperor, Zhao Huaiguang.
For a time, the government and the public were shocked.
You have to know that when Zhao Huaiguang was studying in school, many people looked down on him because of his poor background. Who would have thought now that Xie Huaiguang is Zhao Huaiguang, the emperor's son, and a prince?
Everyone was shocked, and even many ordinary people were talking about this incident. There were even storytellers who made up books and told the story of the replacement of children in fire every day on the overpass. For a time, this incident became the hottest topic of the year, surpassing the news that Gu Zixuan was marrying Princess Mingyu.
"Oh my God, who would have thought that Mr. Xie is actually Concubine Zhuang's son!"
"But, haven't you always said that the ages don't match?"
"You don't know that!"
The person who was speaking looked smug, as if he knew it very well. Immediately, people gathered around him and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
