Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 328
When Emperor Xuanzhi ascended the throne, he immediately conferred the title of his biological mother, Yan, as Empress Dowager Xiaocheng, his first wife, Jiang, as Empress of the Palace, and his eldest son, Helian Yuming, as the crown prince.

All the ministers had no objection to Jiang Changning being the queen, but since Jiang Changning was the successor, Emperor Xuanzhi should posthumously confer the title of his original spouse, Pu.

Emperor Xuanzhi looked at Marquis Anding, "Master Pu, do you think it should be granted?"

According to the law of etiquette, it should be posthumously sealed.

But An Dinghou felt guilty, "After the little girl married His Majesty, she did not give birth to a man and a half woman for His Majesty. I am ashamed of Your Majesty. Now that she has passed away for many years, I don't think it is necessary to posthumously."

All the courtiers looked at Marquis Anding in surprise, did this man's brain get flooded?

Marquis Anding, who was suspected of being mentally ill, returned to the Marquis Mansion in a hurry after retreating, and found his wife, "Send Zhen'er away quickly, Your Majesty may know about it."

"How? How is it possible?" Madam didn't believe it.

An Dinghou looked sad, "There is nothing impossible. Your Majesty wants to investigate, and there is nothing that cannot be found."

"If he found out, why didn't he come to ask the crime?" Madam didn't think any man could bear this kind of shame.

An Dinghou thought for a while, "Perhaps there is no conclusive evidence."

"Let's send Zhen'er to Jinan tonight." Madam said.

An Dinghou nodded, "Let her leave earlier, so I can feel more at ease."

But as it turned out, it was still too late.

That night, when the carriage drove out of Zhuangzi, it was stopped before going far.

"You are so brave, who are you? How dare you block the road and rob at the emperor's feet!" the coachman snapped.

The one who stopped the carriage was none other than Cao Jiang. He stood on top of the horse and said calmly, "Miss Pu, aren't you coming out to see your old friend?"

"Wow!" The car door was pulled open. Seeing Cao Jiang, Mrs. Pu subconsciously went to find King Jin.

"Miss Pu, long time no see." Cao Jiang said again.

"My lord, the little lady doesn't know you." Park said.

Cao Jiang laughed, "Miss Pu, don't pretend, if I didn't know who you are, I wouldn't be here, please follow me."

"Where are you taking me?" Park asked in fear.

Cao Jiang didn't answer her question, and when his subordinates controlled the coachman, he took Mrs. Pu and others to the city.

He has a golden token, even in the middle of the night, he can open the city gate.

Pu Shi was in the carriage, trembling with fear, how could the matter be revealed?
In the palace, Mrs. Pu saw his parents kneeling on the ground, and Emperor Xuanzhi who was wearing a dragon robe and was not angry.

"The little lady's surname is Pu and her name is Huiyi. She is the distant niece of Lord Anding, not Pu Yunzhen, the daughter of Lord Anding." The Pu family didn't wait for Emperor Xuanzhi to ask, so they stopped calling themselves.

Marquis Anding and his wife were ashamed, their daughter was not smart, they knew it, but they didn't expect to be so stupid.

Emperor Xuanzhi was also stunned for a moment, "Marquis Anding, tell me, do I want someone to verify her identity?"

Hou An Ding kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, she is Pu Yunzhen, the daughter of the criminal minister. The criminal minister knows that he deserves to die, so I just ask His Majesty to leave the criminal minister's whole body."

"Three cups of dove wine, you finish it yourself." Emperor Xuanzhi turned and left.

Now that Hou Zhiqu is stable, he doesn't want to make things big.

Being cuckolded is always a shameful thing.

Chang Youzhong came in with a tray, on which were three cups of dove wine.

Marquis Anding and his wife looked at each other, each took a cup of dove wine, and drank it all in one gulp. The emperor had shown mercy, did not implicate his children and grandchildren, and kept the marquis. They died without regret.

Mrs. Pu didn't want to die, so she begged: "Eunuch Chang, I know I was wrong, please let me go."

Chang Youzhong smiled coldly and said: "Miss Pu, our family doesn't want to be rough, so you'd better drink the wine obediently."

"Eunuch Chang, let me go, I can give you as much silver as you want." Mrs. Pu wanted to buy him off.

"Hou An Ding, Ling Ai is really disobedient, please persuade me." Chang Youzhong said with a smile.

"Yunzhen, if you don't want anything to happen to Bao'er, drink up the wine quickly." An Dinghou said with a suspenseful air.

"I don't want it, I don't want it." Mrs. Pu got up and ran out of the hall.

"Stupid people always do stupid things." Chang Youzhong went to catch her.

When he forcibly poured the dove wine into her mouth, Marquis Anding and his wife were already bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and fell to the ground without breathing.

After Emperor Xuanzhi left the side hall, he sat in the main hall for a full quarter of an hour before getting up to go to Tiancheng Palace.

Jiang Changning was eating supper. Seeing him coming in, he asked with a smile, "Are you hungry? Would you like some food?"

She didn't ask, Emperor Xuanzhi didn't notice it, but when she asked, she seemed a little hungry, "What is it?"

"Oatmeal." Jiang Changning scooped up a bowl and put it in front of him, "Eat a bowl."

When Emperor Xuanzhi finished using it, Jiang Changning asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Ningning, come here, let me hug you." Emperor Xuanzhi said.

Jiang Changning's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he walked over to let him hug her.

The husband and wife hugged each other for a while, and Emperor Xuanzhi suddenly asked: "Ningning, if you don't grant a marriage, will you marry me?"

Jiang Changning smiled, "Master, if I don't give you a marriage, I'm not qualified to marry you."

After hearing this, Emperor Xuanzhi knew that he was wrong, "Ningning, if I am not a prince, but an ordinary person who is on the same level as you, would you marry me?"

Jiang Changning looked at him sideways, and unexpectedly saw a trace of nervousness in his eyes, and asked with a smile, "Does the Lord not know the rumors in the city?"

"What rumor?"

"When you marry someone, you should marry the Prince of Jin." Jiang Changning didn't want to get entangled in the question of whether she would marry him, and changed the topic, "Master, I miss my son, when can I take them into the palace?"

"Tomorrow they will enter the palace with the queen mother." Emperor Xuan Zhi laughed.

"But the Mercy Palace hasn't been repaired yet."

"Let the queen mother temporarily live in Chuxiu Palace, and my son live with us in Tiancheng Palace?"

"It couldn't be better." Jiang Changning smiled.

"Also, those women in the mansion will also be brought in. Do you have any ideas on how to determine their status?"

Jiang Changning left from Emperor Xuanzhi's arms, sat back opposite him, and said coldly: "They are your concubines, Your Majesty, how can I decide their position."

Looking at his expressionless wife, Emperor Xuanzhi was not angry but happy, "Ningning, they are all insignificant people. You are my queen, my wife, and the person who will accompany me for the rest of my life. Of course, this matter is up to you." Certainly."

Jiang Changning turned his head to look at him, and after a while, he said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, do you mean what you say?"

Emperor Xuanzhi reached out and grabbed her hand, "What I told you is true."

Jiang Changning lowered his eyelids, remained silent for a moment, and looked up at him, "Since Your Majesty said so, I will be the master of the position of the people in the harem from that day on. Your Majesty must not have any objections."

"It's all up to you." Emperor Xuanzhi couldn't hear what she said.

The next day, the Empress Dowager entered the palace with her three grandchildren.

Jiang Changning had been waiting at the gate of the inner palace for a long time. When he saw the queen mother, he saluted and said, "I have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother is blessed and safe."

"The empress doesn't need to be too polite." The empress dowager said with a smile, holding her hands up.

Xiao Ming'er led Xiao Bai, "I send my respects to the queen mother."

Emperor Xuanzhi had sent someone to teach them court etiquette, Xiao Minger's actions were standard, Xiaobai was too young to do it right, but Jiang Changning couldn't possibly blame him.
