"Your Majesty has a keen eye, can you actually see that?"
The emperor curled his lips. How could he not see that you are emitting the aura that I am in a very good mood?
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
"Minister, I am going to get married soon."
The emperor raised his eyebrows, not quite daring to believe it. What beautiful girl could be interested in him?
Except for Princess Huayue, who may or may not have an eye disease...
He can't be attracted to a man, right? !
"Okay, hahaha, you marry, no, who is so lucky to marry you?"
"Your Majesty knows her. She is the Princess of Huayue, Chen Qing, who expressed her love to me at the Winter Hunting Ground."
He didn't say she was the general's daughter, he said Princess Huayue.
The emperor was relieved at first, but then a little surprised. That girl, had she really taken him down?
"Don't you dislike me?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. I've reached the age to get married. There aren't many women in the city who like me. Your Majesty personally bestowed upon me the title of Princess. I have no reason to be dissatisfied with being able to marry such a woman."
He couldn't say that they were in love, he had to say that they were a good match, he had no choice.
"Okay, then you came to me and wanted me to grant you a marriage?"
"I have already asked the Prime Minister to propose marriage. If I can get a letter from His Majesty granting the marriage, it would be a great honor for me."
The emperor snorted.
Arranged marriage is a gift from heaven and the highest honor and grace.
Unless faced with extreme and necessary circumstances, the couple could not divorce or abandon their spouse. This was a sign of respect for the royal gift and awe of the majesty of heaven.
Jiang Zhuo was determined to be tied to Chen Qing for the rest of his life, and he also wanted to stop others, such as Qin Wanming, from having any illusions.
"Well, since you gave me a son, I will give you an imperial decree granting you marriage as... New Year's money, how about that?"
Jiang Zhuo quickly stood up and bowed solemnly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace. Long live Your Majesty!"
"Hahaha."
The emperor was very pleased with Jiang Zhuo's approach and stood up to draft an imperial edict for Jiang Zhuo.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, Jiang Zhuo can finally feel relieved.
Jiang Zhuo was not allowed to go home until he played several more games of chess with the emperor.
When I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already getting dark.
"Are you back? I have ordered someone to send the engagement letter to the general's mansion, and Qing girl has accepted it." Jiang Ling had already finished his meal and was sitting in the living room drinking tea.
"Okay." Jiang Zhuo sat down, took out the imperial edict from his sleeve, and placed it on the table proudly, "The imperial edict granting marriage."
"Of course!" Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "I thought the Qin family had to ask for this imperial decree!"
"Huh, him? I knocked him out and sent him back to the Grand Marshal's Mansion."
"Hahaha, good boy! You're doing things quite like your father! Let me see this imperial decree granting marriage..."
"Be careful..."
On the second day, the imperial edict arrived at the general's mansion.
"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: I have heard that the General's daughter, Princess Huayue, Shen Qing, is of dignified character, outstanding talent, and a gentle disposition. I have also heard that the Prime Minister's son, Jiang Zhuo, the Minister of the Supreme Court, is of noble character and possesses the demeanor of a gentleman.
Today, I specially grant marriage to these two people. I hope that they can live in harmony and become a good story in our dynasty.
I have observed that March 20th, the eighteenth year of Yongshun, is an auspicious day for marriage, and therefore I have chosen it as the auspicious day. I decree this."
"Princess, please accept the order."
Father-in-law Qiufu said with a smile as he looked at Shen Qing who was kneeling on the ground.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."
In fact, she felt like laughing.
Except for their identities and names, not a single word written in the imperial edict about their gentle temperament and gentlemanly demeanor matched theirs.
Well, one day Shen Qing will be praised by the emperor as having a gentle temperament!
"I hope the princess and Master Xiao Jiang will have a long and happy marriage."
"Thank you, eunuch. Thank you for your trouble." Shen Qing waved his hand, and Qingge handed over the bulging purse.
After Qiufu left, Shen Jianshan sighed.
My daughter has been back for just a few days and she is already preparing to get married.
"Qingqing, just wait for your marriage and I will prepare the rest for you."
Shen Qing agreed.
Shen Jianshan had no experience, and it could even be said that he knew nothing about it, but in order to make Shen Qing happier in his last few days in the General's Mansion, he decided not to let Cheng Xue interfere.
He went to Qingzhou and explained everything to Old Lady Cheng without reservation, and then asked her to prepare a marriage for Shen Qing.
Old Mrs. Cheng was very willing to personally prepare the wedding for her granddaughter. She did not mention Cheng Xue at all, and she understood that these things were not Shen Jianshan's fault.
After a whole day of traveling, Old Lady Cheng finally arrived in the capital from Qingzhou.
"Grandma, thank you for all the hard work." Shen Qing felt a little guilty when he saw the obvious fatigue on the old lady's face.
"You girl, what are you talking about? I'm so happy that I can personally prepare your wedding!" Old Lady Cheng held Shen Qing's hand and pinched her cheek, "Good child, you have been wronged."
"Seeing you, all my grievances are gone."
"Good, good boy."
How could such a good child not be as good as that calm one?
Cheng Xue was confused.
At night, Shen Qing sat in the attic, looking at the rare bright moon, with an indescribable emotion in his heart.
"Chen Qing, are you really going to marry Jiang Zhuo?" Seventh Point's claws scratched at the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard. "I've detected that he's not the most compatible person for you in this book."
"Seventh, this place has long been more than just a book to me."
She found friends, love, and life here.
"So do you still want to go back?"
"No."
Her master was dead, and there was nothing there worth her staying for.
"And your money?"
"From now on, I'll take over Hua Jiangzhuo's business. If that doesn't work out, I'll teach him how to embezzle and accept bribes."
The seventh point is pouting, you really dare to think so!
It didn't say anything else and disappeared from the chessboard, leaving no one knowing where it went.
"My dear."
Shen Qing turned his head, a smile flashing in his eyes.
"You're here."
"Are you waiting for me, Qingqing?"
Jiang Zhuo put the sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand aside and pushed them to Shen Qing.
"I waited in front of the stall and bought some freshly baked ones. They smelled delicious."
Shen Qing opened it and saw that it was already peeled.
"Last time at the restaurant, I saw that you didn't like peeling the shells, so I peeled them for you in front of the stall."
"That's so thoughtful, Lord Jiang."
Jiang Zhuo smiled proudly, "Of course, I am the best man in the capital."
He would never let Qingqing feel like she had married the wrong person!
"The major event after the opening of the dynasty will likely be the marriage of Murong Zhi and Jin Manyue. Qin Canghai will probably recommend you to be the envoy, so you must be prepared in advance."
The envoy who welcomes the bride has a heavy responsibility. If there is any mistake that involves both countries, the emperor will not be able to cover up for him even if he wants to.
"Qin Canghai's opinion is very important, but the final decision lies with the emperor." Jiang Zhuo picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Qingqing's tea-making skills are getting better and better.
Shen Qing's eyes trembled slightly, "You mean, the emperor will let Murong Zhi go to welcome him personally?"
