As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 91: Failure to resist the decree

Xie Zhaozhao's Wangyue Tower was a bit far away from the front hall. By the time she had sorted herself out, Mrs. Yu, her second wife Dou and Xie Xingchen had already arrived.

Yu's expression was calm.

After all, if you receive too many imperial edicts, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Dou and Xie Xingchen were completely uneasy.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao come in, Mrs. Yu greeted her, "Come over to my mother."

Xie Wei had just come down from court and was standing in the hall.

When everyone arrived, he ordered the incense table to be set up, thanked Wei and asked the eunuch to come forward.

The whole family knelt down neatly.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree had a high-pitched voice: "By God, the emperor has issued an edict that Xie Xingchen, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family, is a virtuous, virtuous and outstandingly beautiful woman. She has been specially given to marry Wang Liang's concubine Wei, and they will get married on a certain day. I admire this."

"What?" Xie Xingchen's face changed suddenly, he completely forgot about the occasion and exclaimed, "Why do you want me to marry-"

Mrs. Dou was also stunned.

But at the critical moment, he pulled Xie Xingchen's sleeve hard and smiled stiffly at the eunuch who was delivering the order.

Yu was extremely shocked.

Only Xie Wei and Xie Zhaozhao in the family looked calm.

The eunuch who delivered the order looked down at the pale Xie Xingchen, "Is this the second concubine's concubine? His Royal Highness Prince Liang is one of the most popular among the people and is the pillar of the imperial court. I don't know how many noble ladies want to marry into Prince Liang's palace as a concubine. Not yet. Here’s this opportunity.”

"You, you have such a happy marriage because of the favor of the Holy One. Why don't you hurry up and accept the decree to express your gratitude?"

Xie Xingchen almost broke his silver teeth.

Who is a dragon or a phoenix, a pillar of the imperial court?

Prince Liang is already in his 30s and has married several princesses over the years, all of whom were short-lived.

There are rumors among the people that he killed too many people and his evil spirit was so strong that he suppressed his wife.

Moreover, there are already three concubines in Prince Liang's palace, as well as many concubines. The number of women is terrifying.

What kind of happy marriage is she marrying Prince Liang?
"Why are you still standing there?" The eunuch who delivered the order narrowed his eyes, "Do you want to resist the order?"

Xie Xingchen was excited, and under Dou's eyes, she accepted the imperial edict with great reluctance, "Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."

The eunuch who delivered the message withdrew his gaze and helped Xie Wei up: "Congratulations, Mr. Guo. Now that you are married to Prince Liang, you can be considered a relative of the emperor."

"What are you talking about, father-in-law? Please come into the inner hall to serve tea." Xie Wei said politely.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree did not refuse, and pulled Xie Wei in, talking and laughing.

Xie Zhaozhao knew in his heart that Xie Wei probably wanted to take care of the father-in-law, so that he would not displease Emperor Xuanwu when he went back to mention the situation when Xie Xingchen received the order.

At the same time, you should also inquire about the Holy Will.

Xie Wei has always been able to handle these matters with ease and does not need to worry too much.

Xie Zhaozhao looked away and looked at Xie Xingchen, whose face was pale and holding the imperial edict in his hand, wanting to tear it to pieces on the spot. She smiled and said: "Congratulations, second sister, you flew up the branch and became the princess. This is incredible."

Xie Xingchen glared at Xie Zhaozhao with great anger.

Xie Zhaozhao stepped forward and held her wrist, "The people who delivered the order haven't left yet."

"If they see you so unhappy and tell the Emperor, the Emperor will be furious and may die."

Xie Xingchen was stiff all over.

The usually weak face was now covered with frost, as if he wished he could kill Xie Zhaozhao on the spot.

Mrs. Yu has recovered from the shock, "Okay, go back to Yilan Garden and stay well. You have to go to the palace tomorrow to thank me."

Dou and Xie Xingchen could only suppress all the depression and anger in their hearts and left with stiff backs.

Yu frowned and said, "What's going on..."

Xie Zhaozhao did not answer, only lowered his eyes.

The child really belonged to Prince Liang, and she and Yun Qi had guessed it right.

……

This decree of marriage was beyond everyone's expectations.Some people felt that King Liang was not a good match, while others felt that the Xie family had climbed into the royal family, and they were very envious.

Xie Zhaozhao made people pay attention to the situation in Yilan Garden at all times, and also made people pay attention to the news in the palace.

Xianggui said: "We can keep an eye on Yilan Garden, but it's not easy to find out the news in the palace."

In the previous dynasty, there were eunuchs who caused trouble, so after Emperor Xuanwu ascended the throne, he sent people to clean up the palace, and anyone who casually passed on news would be executed with a cane.

Anyone who inquires about palace information will also have their entire family exiled.

Severe punishments and harsh laws make people dare not even take a single step across the pond.

It is almost impossible to have an informant in the palace.

Xie Zhaozhao frowned slightly.

Xianggui looked at her for a while and whispered: "Otherwise, let's go to Miaoshan Hall and ask there."

"..."

Xie Zhaozhao glanced at her.

Xianggui laughed quickly: "Aren't you curious about the palace? The people there must know best. I heard that His Highness now goes to the palace to stay with the Holy Master every day, spending an hour or two at a time."

"Besides, Miss has not seen His Highness for some time..."

Xianggui takes personal care of Xie Zhaozhao, and naturally knows the subtleties between Xie Zhaozhao and Yun Qi.

To be honest, I am very happy to see the results.

His Royal Highness King Dingxi is more reliable than Chu Nanxuan and more suitable for young ladies.

"That's all you know." Xie Zhaozhao said lightly, holding the handkerchief and wiping the Frost Moon Sword in his hand, "Then come over in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll tell you to prepare the carriage." Xianggui asked, "Can you bring something to His Highness?"

Xie Zhaozhao asked: "What do you want to bring?"

"It's not that I want to..." Xiang Gui said speechlessly: "It's that the young lady wants to... You and His Highness haven't seen each other for a few days. It's better to go find out the news when we meet. You have to give people some benefits. Why don't you go empty-handed?"

Xie Zhaozhao paused and said, "That's true."

What to bring?

She thought for a while, then put the Frost Moon Sword on the shelf, "Let's go out now to Nanshi Street."

Yun Qi likes to eat the sugar-roasted chestnuts sold by an old couple on Nanshi Street the most, so it’s a good idea to bring this.

Because he was going to see Yun Qi and it was not easy to show off on horseback, Xie Zhaozhao still traveled by carriage.

After getting off the bus at Nanshijiekou, we went straight to the stall selling chestnuts.

The old couple's business was good today. When Xie Zhaozhao arrived, there happened to be only one portion of roasted chestnuts left, which the old couple left for their grandson.

Seeing that Xie Zhaozhao was kind and offered double the money, the two of them generously sold it to Xie Zhaozhao.

After carrying the chestnuts, Xie Zhaozhao went straight to Miaoshan Hall.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Xie Zhaozhao, he sensibly led him along the small door to the Dingxi Prince's Mansion and sent him all the way to Han Yuexuan.

The lady in charge of Han Yuexuan, whose surname was Li, ordered someone to serve tea and cakes to Xie Zhaozhao, and said respectfully: "I will step back now. Miss, if you need anything, please call me again."

"it is good."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded.

She put the chestnuts on the table and sat down to wait for Yun Qi.

After waiting and waiting, it was getting dark and Yun Qi hadn't come back yet. Xie Zhaozhao himself became sleepy. After reading a book for a while, he fell asleep on the table.

I don’t know how long I slept when I felt someone moving me.

Xie Zhaozhao suddenly sat up and opened his eyes.

Yun Qi originally bent down to carry her to the bed, but he didn't expect to wake her up.

If he hadn't reacted quickly enough to dodge, he would have been hit in the face by the back of her head.

Looking at the darkness outside, Xie Zhaozhao said: "I'm back!"
