The beauty of the lady

Chapter 196 I am the Concubine (3)
"This is something that can't be helped. Unless the draft is over, you can get married normally, or the emperor himself says not to choose. This is also something that can't be helped."

The lady watching the ceremony was talking in a low voice while watching the etiquette process ahead.

The next moment, he was shocked by a sharp and high-pitched voice.

"The decree has arrived!"

As soon as they heard the imperial decree, everyone's minds immediately went blank. They knew about the imperial decree, but what they didn't know was why it was promulgated in Zhou Mansion.

Looking at the announcement of the decree, it is Eunuch Wei, the personal servant of the current emperor, who was trained by Eunuch Cao.

"Zhou Mei stepped forward to listen to the order."

Zhou Mei sighed in her heart, what should come will always come.

She lifted up the hem of her skirt, went to the front and knelt down, and the back and both sides were full of people kneeling, without exception.

"By God's blessing, the emperor ordered that today there is Zhou Mei, a daughter of the Zhou family, who is virtuous and docile, respectful and modest, with a deep heart... and Prince Chun is a match made in heaven, and I marry Prince Chun as the concubine by decree, and bestow it on me!"

"The daughter of the people kowtows to thank Long En, long live my emperor." Zhou Mei kowtowed again.

Eunuch Wei walked forward with a smile, and helped Zhou Mei up modestly.

"Miss Zhou, you don't need to be too polite. Please hurry up. The imperial edict was inscribed by the emperor himself. Qin Tianjian is also counting the good days. I believe that news will be sent to the mansion soon. Congratulations to Zhou. girl."

Zhou Mei smiled wryly and nodded, then called Chunqin to hand over a heavy purse to Eunuch Wei, and Eunuch Wei stuffed it directly into his sleeve without refusing.

"Miss Zhou, I don't know if Mr. Zhao is in the house?"

After finishing speaking, he saw Zhao Xingyu slowly walking forward from behind the crowd, Eunuch Wei was shocked when he saw this, he was really well, this future prince and concubine is really a miracle doctor, no wonder the prince will marry her back to the mansion.

Eunuch Wei took another imperial decree and started to read it out. After the reading was over, everyone present looked at Zhou Mei differently. This was just a marriage with Prince Chun, and then Lord Zhao was slapped. He also surpassed the son of the world and was directly named Lord Marquis.

After the reading, Eunuch Wei ignored the thoughts of everyone present, took two thick red envelopes, and led his servants to leave.

"Princess?" At this time, only these two words remained in Zhao's mind, and even the endless congratulatory sounds seemed to be getting farther and farther away.

As soon as the ceremony was over, many of the little sisters had inexplicable expressions, and there were some changes in the way they looked at Zhou Mei.

She knew very well what Prince Chun and Concubine Zheng meant in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Obviously she is only the prince's concubine, if she really wins Prince Chun's favor, even the empress dowager will be courteous.

"Sister Zhou, do you really want to marry Prince Chun?" Zhen Zimeng asked in a low voice, pulling her sleeve.

"That's right, the imperial decree has come down, isn't it? It can't be changed." Zhou Mei laughed.

"Change?" Wei Mingzhu bared his teeth, "What else needs to be changed, that is Prince Chun, who has had side concubines and concubines up to now, but there is no main concubine, and now you have suppressed all the nobles in the capital. The lowest status of concubine concubine in the palace is also the concubine's daughter of a third-rank official, such status is more than enough to occupy the position of first-rank concubine in the palace, how respectable it is."

"Sister Mingzhu is right. We all agree that it is already very high for Sister Zhou to marry an official heir at most. Who would have thought that she would become a prince or concubine? In this way, even the old ladies of the big kingdoms would salute Sister Zhou when they saw her. Kneeling, of course my grandmother is no exception." Zhen Zijing said with a smile, she didn't think about Prince Chun, so naturally she wouldn't be jealous of her.

But this news will definitely spread throughout Yanjing within today, I don't know if Chi Qinglian and Chen Xiyu will go crazy.

But even so, they did not dare to openly make an enemy of Zhou Mei.

After lunch in the Zhou Mansion, the wives of each family chased me away, and those I chased you left one after another, probably to go back to tell the news.

At this time, all the people left behind gathered in the main hall of the Zhou Mansion.

"Sister Mei, what's going on here? Princess, why did you choose you?" Zhou Zhuang, a father, asked eagerly.

"Haven't you all heard the imperial decree? There will be nothing wrong." Zhou Mei smiled.

"Mei girl, do you have something to hide from us?" Xiao Shi also pondered.

"Does Auntie think that Ye Yu has any plans for me?" Zhou Mei looked at Xiao Shi with a smile, "Even if he inherits the power of Beihou Mansion and An Guogong Mansion, he can't make him do what he doesn't want to do. The result was of course what he wanted.”

"Aunt knows in her heart that it's not because of us. After all, this marriage is too unusual."

"His status is noble, and he doesn't need to rely on external forces to help him. Now that he has decided, he must have his own reasons. Maybe he just likes me. After all, he is not young."

As soon as Zhou Mei finished speaking, everyone who knew what was in the room almost didn't choke to death. Are they not too young?Prince Chun is only 19 years old this year, he is a good age, how can he be old, or maybe he really fell in love with Sister Mei, I hope so, that's good.

Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information from her mouth, Xiao Shi also wanted to go back and discuss with the father-in-law, and then took Rong'er back to the house.

Today Xuan Shaoling is on duty in the palace, while Ye Ling is pregnant, because she was not allowed to come here in less than three months.

Zhao Chengyin looked at Zhou Mei, and said softly: "Now the Hou Mansion is mine, and you are also at home to be married at ease. Those people don't need you to worry about everything. You still have uncle. You have done too much for uncle. Now you can just think about your own business.”

"I know, tell my cousin that the position of the eldest son is only temporarily in Zhao Chengfei's hands. Sooner or later we will take back everything they took away. Aunt Guo is still a sensible person. If she gives birth to a son Goods are fine."

"This girl, uncle knows very well that your life in the palace may not be much easier than that under the hands of your mother. Fortunately, you are the highest status in the mansion, and the people below must not condone, otherwise your life will be difficult. The most important thing in the future is to grasp the heart of the prince, in that case, even if the people below can make a fuss, they will be nothing but clowns."

"Yes, Mei'er knows, and made uncle bother."

After talking briefly for a while, Zhao Chengyin took his wife and left. The Chengbeihou Mansion may not know what the situation is now, and everything still needs him to do it himself. Liwei is sure. It seems that the world of the Sun family must undergo a major cleansing.

Until the Zhou family was left with only their own people, the two old men of the Zhou family hadn't woken up yet.
