Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 79
After Eunuch Chang left, Su Xi held the bright yellow imperial decree, fluttered her big eyes, and looked at the Yin family in front of her.

Neither the Yin family nor the old lady could speak, probably because they hadn't digested it yet.The third wife, Yu Shi, woke up quickly, and hurriedly held Su Xi's hand and said, "This is a happy event! We young and young married into the Prince Jin's mansion, and we will be the princess of Jin in the future. His Majesty's special gift of marriage must be because he valued the young Youyou's talent and appearance. Earlier, I saw that Youyou and the Prince of Jin are both talented and beautiful. They are a match made in heaven. They are a perfect match when they stand together..."

"The third daughter-in-law." The old lady interrupted Yu's words, and said with a complicated expression: "It's good, it's just..."

Su Xi wanted to know what the old lady said next, but she couldn't wait for the second half of the old lady's words until she followed Yin's back to Qiutangju.

The Yin family was silent all the way, and did not speak when they arrived at Qiu Tangju, just sitting on the Arhat's table next to the vine by the window, with a solemn expression.

Su Xi called out to her mother uneasily, "Why didn't you say a word?"

Yin looked at her daughter's flowery little face, bright eyes and white teeth, apricot face and peach cheeks, she was indescribably pretty and charming, she had previously told her that marriage was one thing, now that the emperor bestowed a marriage on her, she was about to marry her. Getting married is another matter, and I feel very reluctant.Besides, she knew what the old lady didn't say, good or bad, but Qi Dafei, although the Su family is a famous family, there is still a big gap between the Su family and the palace.In addition, she had also heard that Princess Jin was not a good friend, she was young and pure in nature, she wondered if she could live a happy life in that kind of place.

It's just that the imperial decree has come down, even if Yin feels that this marriage is not a good match, she can't refuse it.

Su Xi didn't know what her mother was thinking, what she was thinking about was when Wei Feng spoke to the emperor, and she hadn't heard him say anything these days.That's why she was stunned after Eunuch Chang finished reading the imperial decree.

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Emperor Zhaoyuan said that whoever wins the first place in this spring hunt will agree to a request.

Could it be that Wei Yan asked the emperor for a marriage?

But he didn't tell her a word, they obviously stayed together for so long that night... Su Xi pouted, a little dissatisfied that Wei Yan kept this matter from her.

"Youyou." Yin interrupted her thoughts, and said after a moment of deliberation: "You and Prince Jin's son, have you ever had..."

Su Xi knew what her mother wanted to ask, and shook her head firmly and seriously: "No."

It's not that she deliberately concealed it, but if her mother found out that she was dating Wei Feng in private and was kissed more than once by him, she would definitely have her legs broken by her mother.

Seeing that her face was serious, Yin didn't seem to be lying, so she felt relieved.

The Yin family also felt that she was too worried, her daughter kept her duty since she was a child, and she was familiar with the sages, but she seldom left her family, so how could she have any contact with the prince of Jin?As soon as she saw the imperial decree of bestowing marriage, she became confused. She couldn't figure out what the emperor meant, and why she wanted to give her daughter to Prince Jin's heir Wei Wei as his wife without warning.

When Elder Master Su Zhen came back from the officialdom and heard about the marriage, he also looked surprised.

After dinner, Su Xi returned to her flower dew to smell the fragrance.Yin Shi and Su Zhen sat in the room discussing today's events.

Su Zhen held the hot tea and didn't take a sip until the tea was cold. "At present, the eldest prince cannot succeed to the throne. His majesty's heirs are in difficulty, and the possibility of rebirth is unlikely. Although your majesty did not say it clearly, the meaning is already very clear. In the future, the position of the crown prince is very likely to be chosen among the heirs of the two kings of Jin and Yu. Now What His Highness is most satisfied with is Prince Jin's son Wei Wei and Prince Yu's son Wei Yuan. I'm worried that Wei Yan won't be able to protect her integrity..."

Yin Shi didn't think about this level.She is a womanly person and knows very little about temples. Now listening to Su Zhenyi's analysis, she feels that Jinwang's mansion is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den.She only has such a precious daughter as Su Xi. Compared with Gao Panjin's palace, she hopes that Su Xi can marry a well-matched family.If she had known earlier, she should have settled the Lu family's marriage first, Yin regretted.

"What should I do now? I'm not worried about the other side. I'm only worried that you will be wronged when you marry into the Prince Jin's mansion. The prince of Jin has a good character. When you were young, he saved your life. I don't know how he treats this family What do you think about the marriage?" Yin was worried, but she walked back and forth in front of Su Zhen several times in just a cup of tea.

Su Zhen stretched out his hand to hold her hand, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her: "Wait a few days before the people from the Prince Jin's Mansion will come to know? Don't worry, we are cute, smart and obedient, and we will be happy soon." It's Wei Yan who doesn't have feelings for this, and will definitely take care of Youyou after a long time."

Yin thought about it and thought what her husband said made sense.

The daughter is good both internally and externally. She can not only do the elegant thing of gambling with books and splashing tea, but also act like a baby with joy and anger. After a long time, which man can remain indifferent?Sometimes when she looks at Youyou's bright and flawless little face, she feels emotional in her heart, she really doesn't know if this appearance is a blessing or a curse.

This end, the hall of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Princess Yuan of Jin's eyebrows never relaxed after she learned that Emperor Zhaoyuan bestowed the marriage.She didn't know about it at all. A few days ago, she was looking after Han Yufu, the daughter of the Wenyuange University scholar, on behalf of Minister Wei Feng.The Han family is the natal family of the second sister-in-law of the Yuan family. Han Yufu is the jewel in the palm of the eldest family of the Han family.

If Han Yufu's marriage with Wei Feng comes to fruition, she will be able to hold Yunjinzhai under control with a little trickery.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would suddenly grant a marriage to the Ninth Girl of the Su Family.Yuan Shi has a little impression of Miss Su Jiu, she was born with a beautiful face, her voice seemed to be soaked in a honey pot, her appearance, her delicate appearance, she was born to seduce men.

How could the emperor give Wei Yi such an idiot beauty?Could it be that the emperor deliberately suppressed the Jin Palace?
Yuan Shi couldn't figure it out, even if she was not very satisfied with this marriage, she couldn't help her to pick and choose after the imperial decree came down.

After Wei Feng came back from outside, Yuan ordered someone to invite him over.

Yuan Shi said: "I already know about the marriage, if you are not satisfied with this marriage, where will I go tomorrow..."

"There is no need for the princess to worry about this matter." Wei Yan wore a sky blue brocade robe, and before he had time to change, he said, "Tomorrow I will ask Mrs. Kang Le to come forward and propose marriage to the Su family. The princess can just stay at home and wait for news."

Mrs. Kang Le is a first-class wife conferred by Emperor Zhaoyuan. She is gentle and courteous, with high moral character.It was reasonable for Wei Feng to ask Mrs. Kang Le to come forward, and he also expressed his importance to this marriage, but in this way, he would not give Yuan's face a little.

Yuan's complexion changed, and said: "Are you afraid that I will be harsh on the Su family?"

Wei Yan's face remained unchanged, "The princess is used to living in seclusion, so I'm afraid she won't be able to handle such a situation. I'm thinking of you."

For her sake?There was no sincerity on his face.Just as Yuan Shi was about to have a seizure, she suddenly remembered another matter. She calmed down and continued, "When you went hunting with Your Majesty, I went to Han University's scholar's mansion. Miss Han Si is well educated, gentle and sensible. , I found someone who got your horoscopes correct, and they are a perfect match. If you have no objections, after I welcome Su Jiu into the door, I will go talk to Mrs. Han and see if I can marry Miss Han Si as a concubine..."

Miss Han Si felt wronged to be a concubine, but Wei Feng's reputation is there, and she will be the king of Jin in the future. In addition, she is weak and sick, and she can't be high or low, and she is now an old girl.Yuan Shi thought that it would be nice if someone was willing to marry her, so what reason did the Han family not agree?

As long as Han Yufu became Wei Feng's concubine, she would still have a chance to reach out to Yunjinzhai.

As soon as the words fell, Wei Yan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Yuan Shi expressionlessly: "I advise the princess not to be self-righteous. Although you are a princess, you have no right to claim my marriage." His voice was cold and clear, "What's more, the emperor As soon as the marriage was granted, you opened up the concubine, did you want to openly disobey the holy will?"

Yuan's expression panicked.Disobeying the imperial decree is a serious crime, and she can't afford to wear such a big hat.

Wei Yan said no more, turned around and left.

Two days later, Mrs. Kang Le and Wei Feng came to the door to propose marriage.

Since the marriage was bestowed by the Holy One, this step is just a formality.Mrs. Yin received Mrs. Kang Le, and after the conversation, they matched Su Xi and Wei Wei's horoscope, and the marriage was settled.

Mrs. Yin's Liukangle had lunch with Wei Feng, and when they left, Wei Feng saluted and said, "Thank you Madam for your hospitality."

The most important thing is to have a considerable tolerance and a degree of advance and retreat.

Yin Shi was relieved a lot.

Half a month later, people from Jinwangfu sent a dowry gift, a total of 120 loads. On the first load was a white marble statue of Avalokitesvara. The Buddha statue worshiped by the Empress Dowager for 30 years.The dowry was carried from morning to evening, including the red and white agate unicorn flower set and the red sandalwood embossed lion rolling hydrangea screen presented by Emperor Zhaoyuan and Empress Liu.

Su Xi could hear the movement outside in the fragrant flower dew, and she suddenly felt a sense of unreality.

It has been less than three months since she returned to the capital from Wu County. When she came back, she thought that she and Wei Feng would never have a fate again.Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, she was about to marry him.

Since the old lady passed away for less than three years, it is not suitable for the family to hold a happy event, so the wedding date must be set after August.

Su Xi counted with her fingers. It is March now, and there are still five months before August.

……So fast.

Little did she know that she thought it was fast, but some people thought it was too slow.

On this day, the Yin family took Su Xi to Zhaojue Temple to offer incense, saying that only by worshiping the Bodhisattva before marriage can life go smoothly after marriage.

Su Zhi led the way, and Su Xi and Yin came to the foot of the mountain in a carriage. There was a long staircase in front of Zhaojue Temple, and they had to climb up it every time they came back.As soon as Su Xi supported Ting Yan's hand, she got out of the carriage, and met the people from the Luyang Hou Mansion head-on.

Li Yan accompanied Li Anyi to offer incense.

Li Yan came on horseback in a dark blue gold-woven robe, and his dark and quiet eyes fell on Su Xi for a moment.
