Early that morning, Qinyao had breakfast and went to her brother's study. She honestly took out the Tao Te Ching and was about to start copying it for the day when she suddenly heard that Miss Wang and Miss Liu were coming.
Qin Yao's hand holding the pen paused and she looked at the door in surprise. Isn't it early morning? Why did Wang Yingning and the others come so early?
Although he was confused, he still quickly invited the two of them to his small courtyard.
The two came in. Before Wang Yingning could speak, Liu Bingyu asked Qin Yaoping to step aside and told her: "Something strange happened! I heard that last night, Duke Wei Guo actually proposed to marry Feng Chuyue on behalf of the Second Young Master Xia. The Emperor has already Right!"
Qinyao¡¯s mouth opened wide in surprise, ¡°Really?¡±
Liu Bingyu nodded heavily, "The Duke of Wei has no intention of hiding it. Now it has spread inside and outside the palace. I heard that Princess Derong also said that she should try to advance the wedding date as much as possible. It is best to get married before the winter moon. Today is the first day of the lunar month. Morning, we have sent a matchmaker to the Feng family to make a decision."
"So fast?" Qin Yao couldn't digest such heavy news for a while. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and she didn't know what happened. Duke Wei finally bowed his head.
Wang Yingning answered as if confirming: "My eldest brother is in the Ministry of Rites. I heard that Wei Guogong has invited officials from the Ministry of Rites to handle the marriage of the second young master Xia. He will marry Feng Chuyue by Dongyue at the latest."
"Why so fast?" Qin Yao was still a little stunned. Logically speaking, Duke Wei's palace didn't like Feng Chuyue. Even if he agreed to marry Feng Chuyue, he would try to delay it as long as possible.
Wang Yingning blushed and lowered his eyes without answering.
But Liu Bingyu said mysteriously: "Yesterday, I secretly listened to my mother-in-law and Mrs. Wang talking, and finally understood. My mother-in-law and the others said that since Duke Wei's palace has decided to marry Feng Chuyue, the sooner the better, because Maybe Miss Feng already has one, and if she waits until she is pregnant to come in, the face of Duke Wei's mansion will be totally disgraced."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? She explained seriously: "The so-called 'have' means having a baby, my nurse told me. If two people do something embarrassing, there will be a baby."
Wang Yingning couldn't listen anymore, covered her face with her sleeves, and scolded: "Listen to what you said? How can you look like a young lady who has never been in a boudoir?"
Liu Bingyu quietly stuck out her tongue to Qin Yao, not daring to say anything more.
Qinyao thought of everything she had done since she met Feng Chuyue, and she didn't know how to answer the question.
After a while, he sighed with a complicated mood.
A few days later, Princess Kangping and her husband, the Emperor and Concubine Yi hosted a banquet for officials. The Qu family's rank was not among those invited, but someone from the palace actually came and invited the Qu family to the banquet.
Qin Yao originally wanted to dismiss the illness, but the palace official who came to announce the decree said with a smile that Concubine Yi had long heard that Miss Qu was both talented and beautiful. She had not had a good look at it when she was in the academy last time. This time, she asked Miss Qu to show her appreciation. Attend a banquet.
After hearing this, the Qu family dared not have any doubts. Mrs. Qu Chen immediately dressed up for Qin Yao and took her daughter to the banquet.
Arriving at the palace, palace officials invited a group of students from Yunyin Academy to the Yong'an Hall to watch Princess Kangping being awarded hairpins.
This time Feng Chuyue finally showed up, but her complexion was really bad and she had lost a lot of weight. Although she had applied powder, her eyes were still a bit green and her complexion was also yellow.
Kang Ping protected her very tightly. If anyone dared to look at Feng Chuyue with unkind eyes for a while, he would look back at them with knife-like eyes.
This method worked wonders, but after two back and forths, no one dared to stare at Feng Chuyue anymore.
After the ceremony, when the girls were about to leave, Concubine Yi suddenly came and asked Qin Yao who she was. She invited her closer, took a closer look, praised her full of praise, and rewarded Qin Yao with a pair of ruby ??bracelets.
This gift came strangely and was too precious. Not only the classmates, but even Qinyao herself felt baffled.
Since it was a reward from Concubine Yi, Qinyao didn't have the guts to push back. She knelt down and kowtowed a few times, and then she accepted it happily.
After retreating, I dared to quietly look up, only to find a female official standing behind Concubine Yi. She was so delicate and delicate that I felt pity for her.
Qinyao recognized the person and secretly shouted in her heart, Qin Yuan?
I couldn't help but look at her carefully, thinking to myself that I haven't seen her for a long time since Qin Zheng's death. She seemed to act much calmer than before, a little less timid and a little more experienced. I couldn't tell for a moment. Joy is sorrow.
Qin Yuan stared nervously at Concubine Yi's every move, as if she was ready for orders at any time. Seeing Qin Yao looking at her, she hurriedly responded with a very friendly smile, not daring to be distracted for too long, and still returned her attention to On Concubine Yi.
Concubine Yi called Feng Chuyue closer again, glanced at her lightly, and gave her a pair of ruby ??bracelets, but her attitude was much colder.
?Finally, there is Xia Qian. Concubine Yi naturally likes her future daughter-in-law as much as she likes her. Although she was given a pair of ruby ??bracelets, she is very affectionate in her words and deeds.
Xia Yun had just recovered from a serious illness. She seemed to have difficulty speaking and her smile was very stiff. Concubine Yi only thought that she was not well yet and gave her a few more instructions before letting her go down.
After the banquet was over, everyone listened to the holy sermons. The emperor smiled and said: "Although I am the emperor, I also have the same worries as parents in the world. I can't help but worry about the marriages of several children. I am afraid that my children will be wronged, and I am afraid that the other party will not be willing. It is said that we use imperial power to suppress people and have to give our ugly children to them. Therefore, I have made countless choices and have been delaying them to this day. The marriages of several children in the palace have not been settled. Every time I think of this matter, I feel I have a headache. "
The officials immediately understood that the emperor was going to grant a marriage. Seeing that the emperor was in a good mood, they all responded with smiles. They said that the emperor was obviously being modest about himself. The princes and princesses all looked like dragons and phoenixes, even though Without royal status, there would be no need to worry about getting married.
The emperor smiled and said: "My dear friends will naturally pick up nice things to say. But I also know that our children are not bad. As a parent, who would want his children to suffer injustice? Therefore, in the marriage of children, the first one is to marry. They are willing, but if they are not willing, even if they are forced to be brought together, it is inevitable that they will noisy and end up resenting each other. "
All the ministers were busy saying that it was absolutely right.
The emperor was silent for a while, nodded and sighed with a smile: "Speaking of which, there haven't been any new members in the palace for many years. Sometimes I can't help but feel deserted. Like you, I look forward to having children and grandchildren around us to enjoy some family time." Happy. Therefore, after these marriages for the children have been finalized, I can¡¯t wait to set a date for them to get married, and look forward to them having a baby soon. "
These words could not have been more clear, and congratulations immediately sounded from below.
The emperor stroked his beard, smiled at Eunuch Mi and said, "Please declare my will."
Eunuch Mi agreed with a smile and began to declare the imperial edict. The first one was to marry the seventh son of the emperor and Princess Yishu.
The second step is to grant marriage to Princess Kangping and Feng Jizhou.
Qinyao thought she heard it wrong. Isn¡¯t Ji Zhou the name of Brother Feng? Does Brother Feng want Princess Shang Kangping? But just now the emperor said that the marriage proposal was for mutual love. When did Brother Feng and Kang Ping fall in love?
But she was not allowed to think too much, and then the third imperial edict of marriage came again, "I am very pleased to hear that the daughter of Qu Runcheng, the Taishi of the dynasty, was respectful and dignified, and respected her in the boudoir. Now, Lin Weijin, the eldest son of King Lan, is your noble Don't rely on it, be modest and gain glory. When you are suitable for marriage, you should choose a virtuous girl and your match. The Qu girl is worthy of being in the boudoir, and she is a match made by heaven and earth. In order to become a beautiful woman, I have specially promised you to be your match. Wife. The concubine canonization ceremony will be held in the future. All etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and Qin Tian Jianzheng, and the wedding will be completed on the sixth day of October. "
As soon as the imperial edict was announced, countless gazes came to her. Qin Yao lowered her head in embarrassment, her face burning.
There were already palace officials waiting aside, leading Qin Yao to the imperial court to receive the order.
Qin Yao walked to the front of the emperor and found that Lin Xiao was already kneeling there. He was wearing dark green clothes and a gold and jade belt. He was dressed very noble, as if he had been prepared for it.
Seeing her coming over from the corner of his eye, a smile unconsciously appeared on Lin Xiao's lips.
I don¡¯t know if it was a psychological effect, but Qin Yao felt that Lin Xiao was more handsome than ever before, and her heart beat faster unconsciously. She didn¡¯t dare to look more, so she knelt down and kowtowed.
The emperor looked at Qin Yao and said with a smile: "They are indeed a beautiful couple. They are very good. But I have good taste. Uncle Huang is very satisfied with your marriage."
The two men accepted the order and retreated.
The fourth imperial edict was to grant marriage to Xia Di and Feng Chuyue. Before the edict was announced, Xia Geng seemed to be unable to hold on any longer and fell softly. Fortunately, the maid behind her reacted quickly and exclaimed. , support her,
Qin Yao turned around and saw that Xia Qian's face was as pale as paper and her chest was heaving violently. She definitely didn't seem to be pretending to be sick.
She was not allowed to think too much, as Qu Chen had been led to her side by the palace servants.
There were faint tears in Mrs. Qu Chen's eyes, but her expression was very happy. Her voice was very low, and she pulled Qinyao and said, "Everything is fine, but the wedding is too close. From tomorrow on, I'm afraid I won't have any free time." .¡±
Lin Xiao saw Qin Yao looking at her intently over there, seeing her sweet smile, her every frown and smile full of unconcealable joy, and her eyes were unconsciously filled with a smile.
