Foster son and husband

Chapter 169 The Decree
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, since the early morning turmoil, Xu Junying's backyard is peaceful after Qin Meiniang is saved!

The queen mother really dared to do it. If she refused to marry a flat wife, she simply divorced her original wife and wanted Xu Junying to be the princess. At noon yesterday, he and Xu Junying synthesized various information to find out the queen mother's intentions. Both of them were stunned.

Xu Junying said: "After I left, the empress dowager ordered my family to divorce my wife. After returning, the emperor issued an order to marry her back! As for Princess Shang, the emperor knows me and cannot bear this blessing." share!"

The emperor laughed angrily, pointed at him and scolded: "What nonsense! You think I have nothing to do, and I specially issued an edict to give you a marriage? First, the emperor issued an imperial edict to marry a wife, and then the queen mother ordered to divorce her, and then issued another edict. The imperial decree to remarry—what is the imperial decree for the people of the world in the future? It is a joke! You are even more absurd than the queen mother! You are so confused!"

Xu Junying was also weird, he hesitated before leaving, besides asking him to ensure that his wife would not be divorced, there were other requests, although the emperor was puzzled, he agreed to them one by one in order to let him do things with peace of mind.

A secret agent reported that the second younger brother of the first emperor, King Wei, who was born to Concubine Mi, practiced private soldiers in the northern fiefdom of Gunzhou, secretly bought a large number of horses, and privately mined ore to refine ironware. King Wei was two years younger than the emperor, and he was very intelligent since childhood. He could compose poetry at the age of six or seven, and showed his talent for painting at the age of ten. His landscape paintings were comparable to those of famous masters. The late emperor loved his second son very much. He gave him the most expansive and richest land among all the princes. Then he died of illness, and among all the princes, only King Wei could not return to Beijing for the funeral without receiving the imperial decree.Afterwards, the prime minister made an admonition and demanded that King Wei be closely monitored, and he complied. Unexpectedly, many years later, he finally got the news that King Wei had mischievous intentions.

He handed over Shangfang's sword and secret order to Xu Junying, and let him handle it. As long as the evidence is solid and the charges are proven, he can be executed on the spot!
After Xu Junying left, the emperor asked Ji Qing to do his best to handle this matter. Ji Qing received the news early this morning that the people from the Palace of Compassion and Ning had left the palace gate and went to the Xu Mansion to announce the decree. On the way, Ji Qing went to the Xu Mansion with the imperial decree he had drawn up earlier, and the emperor went to the Compassionate Ning Palace. The empress dowager's stubbornness made him angry, and his attitude became tough. Without using the snack machine, he slowly coaxed the queen mother back.

In the end, the palace was calm, but Xu's mansion was in chaos. The eunuch for rites came to Xu's mansion after carrying out the emperor's edict from the queen mother. Ji Qing signaled him to hand it over to Eunuch Tan, the director of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, to read it out. Eunuch Tan had to read out another edict. This time, he read very carefully, word by word, slowly, as if he was afraid of missing any word, and there were a few sentences in Yizhi, which were concise and clear, and the meaning couldn't be more clear. He still didn't believe his own words. His eyes scanned back and forth again, and he was sure that it was not given to marry the princess. The phoenix seal with bright patterns on it was very clearly stamped. He looked carefully and then handed it to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu was in a daze. She knelt on the ground and could not raise her head. Xu Junlang next to her stepped forward to help her lift her upper body. Facing a bright yellow satin with a phoenix seal, she took it with trembling hands.

Ji Qing smiled and said: "Congratulations, old lady! Ms. Zhuang grew up under the old lady's education, and she is also related to the queen mother. The queen mother took pity on her dignified and beautiful appearance, and couldn't bear her to fall into an ordinary family in the future, so she personally proposed marriage for her." To marry, from a cabinet bachelor of the second rank, the character is absolutely worthy of Miss Zhuang, after marrying, it is the order of the second rank, the glory and wealth, and the companionship for a lifetime, worthy of the old lady's years of cultivation!"

Before Mrs. Xu could answer, she suddenly heard a bang from the hall behind, and then Jin Suo cried out:

"Girl, what's wrong with you, girl? Wake up!"

Several women and servants rushed over, and while helping Zhuang Yulan who was unconscious on the ground, they yelled and carried her down.

Mrs. Xu closed her eyes, and the drooping muscles of her cheeks convulsed.

Mei Niang knelt behind the old lady, her legs and feet felt numb for a while, she raised her head and looked around, and suddenly saw Baoju, talking to someone under a stone willow tree in the distance, it turned out that Xu Junying really left the city up!
Mei Niang couldn't bear it anymore, stood up all of a sudden, walked straight to Ji Qing, blessed him, and stretched out her hand:

"Director Ji, the first decree has been announced and issued, and it is the same for me. Please let me see it!"

She doesn't care what happened to the Xu mansion, who Zhuang Yulan married to, as long as she obtains the imperial decree and returns her freedom, her son is also given to her. One pile!But the bad thing is that Ji Qing took away the Yizhi. She is not familiar with Ji Qing, but she is not unfamiliar. It should be okay to go and ask him to have a look. Rob her?
The men of the Xu Mansion who were kneeling below were taken aback, how could they talk to the chief executive of the palace like this?That's a celebrity around the emperor, a high-rank eunuch!

Master Xu Er didn't know what he was up to last night, he didn't return home, Xu Junying was not there, Xu Junlang hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize to Ji Qing, and said to Mei Niang:
"Sister-in-law, let's go back to her original position and kneel. It's really disrespectful to get up at random before the officer of ceremony calls me!"

Ji Qing looked at Mei Niang, a little puzzled: He saw Xu Junying in a state of despair in Kunning Palace, and he didn't see him for a while. Xu Junying was just like that. It can be seen that 10 minutes of love for this flowery and jade-like Mrs. Hou, the relationship between husband and wife It should be good, but what did this guy say?She took the initiative to ask him to divorce his wife, did she have another meaning?Do you want to keep this decree so that you can file a complaint with Xu Junying when you come back?
Thinking of this, Ji Qing smiled, and made a gesture to Mei Niang, leading her to go back and kneel down: "Madam Weiyuan Hou, don't worry, please kneel down to receive the decree. I have an imperial decree to read, please wait for Madam's attention." listen!"

Meiniang had no choice but to go back and knelt down again, walked in front of the old lady Xu, met the old lady's complex and cold eyes, Meiniang raised her face arrogantly, and didn't bother to look at her: I wish I could figure it out with the Xu family, I don't want to see the stinky face of the old woman either!
Ji Qing waved his hand, and one of the five or six eunuchs standing behind him walked over, holding a roll of bright yellow silk satin in his hand, Ji Qing picked it up and read out: "By God, the emperor ordered... Yipin orders Weiyuan Hou Madam Xu Qin's Mei Niang is gentle and graceful, virtuous and virtuous... From now on, she will be named Qin Meimei, and she will enter the palace to accompany the queen, and will be picked up by the palace guards in the morning and evening for half a month, I respect you!"

Everyone in the Xu Mansion was stunned: What's the matter with the royal family?Today three decrees were sent to the Xu mansion. First, the Yi decree was read out to divorce his wife, but it was withdrawn before it was promulgated. The second Yi decree was to marry the girl Zhuang Biao, who had been clamoring to marry Lord Hou, to marry someone else. Mrs. Xu Before he could recover from this, the imperial decree came again, this time to praise and praise the grandma's character, and finally gave the grandma a new name, and summoned her into the palace to accompany the queen in confinement!

In the distance, Baoju and Baizhan exchanged glances with each other, and both breathed a sigh of relief: Master Hou couldn't have done it more safely. He sent the grandma to the palace directly. The name was to accompany the queen. In fact, she was imprisoned in Kunning Palace. Grandma is No matter how courageous they are, they dare not resist the order not to enter the palace. They leave early and return late every day. They just protect her and travel between the palace and the Xu residence. She has no chance to go anywhere. After half a month, Lord Hou should also come back up.

Grandma was almost kicked out of the house. In the morning, Baoju got a report saying that the queen mother's people had left the rear palace gate and came to Xu's mansion. He hurried to find Ji Qing. He saw Ji Qing leading a group of people out at the gate of the palace. He gasped and shouted at him:

"I beg you, Director Ji, if you slow down, you will disappear!"

Ji Qing misunderstood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Why are you in a hurry? It will take a while to read, and your young wife must be dissatisfied. You will cry and make trouble for a while, and then hang yourself with a piece of cloth, and we will be swaggering." The earth has passed, and the time is enough!"

Baoju was helpless, Ji Qing was usually very serious, and it would be useless to play casually, he could only keep urging, the prince who had not become emperor in the past was inseparable from Xu Junying, Ji Qing, Baoju, and Bai Zhan always mingled together, Knowing each other, seeing that Bao Ju was really in a hurry, he laughed and led the crowd to gallop on the street. Fortunately, there were few pedestrians, cars and horses in the morning, and the streets were unimpeded. When they arrived at Xu Mansion, Ji Qing left when Eunuch Tan delivered the order Going up to confiscate the Yizhi, seeing the astonished expressions of Eunuch Tan and Mrs. Xu, he found it very satisfying: The emperor has clearly stated that you are not allowed to do this kind of outrageous thing secretly, and the husband and wife are so nice, why do you have to break up?
The officer of ceremonies shouted, not only was Mrs. Xu's legs weak and unable to get up, she was supported by her grandchildren, and her back was on her back. Meiniang also knelt there in a daze. Bai Jingyu came to pull her, but she couldn't pull her up. , she stared at Ji Qing, Ji Qing was baffled, only Bao Ju and Bai Zhan knew what she was thinking, so they hurriedly winked at Ji Qing, telling him to leave Xu Mansion quickly.

Unexpectedly, the distance was too far, but Ji Qing could not see the expressions of Bao Ju and Bai Zhan. He thought that Mei Niang was dumbfounded because her name was changed, so he smiled and explained to the Xu family: "Weiyuan Mrs. Hou may not understand that there is a concubine in the palace with the same name and different surname as Mrs. Hou. Mrs. Hou will be with the Queen in the palace for more than ten days, and she will inevitably meet with her. It's a name, I asked Marquis Wei Yuan about this name, and Marquis Wei Yuan nodded his head!"

The people of Xu's mansion heard it clearly, but Bao Ju and Bai Zhan wanted to kick Ji Qing, what is this guy talking about?
Mei Niang finally figured it out, her face was flushed with anger, her head was dizzy, Xu Junying left, and even arranged for her to trap her in the palace. The name she used was exposed, and people will gradually know that Cen Meimei is Qin Meiniang, the wife of Marquis of Weiyuan. She has lost her good chance to leave the Xu residence!

Preventing her from entering the palace to celebrate the prince's baptism in three dynasties, for fear that she will see the queen, and the queen will definitely pull her by her side to help deal with the reception of foreign wives. The women talk about everything together, and it is impossible for her to go out of the palace until Shen Shi , and he had already set off at that time, so he couldn't personally escort her back to the mansion. If she ran away halfway and didn't return to Xu's mansion for a few days and nights, although Baoju Baizhan would bring people to follow, but there were elders in the family, the rules would not be tolerated. Afraid of damaging your reputation!
It turned out that in the water pavilion, what he said to sit down and talk was just a way of saying goodbye. She remembered that Xu Junying looked at her and said: "Be filial to the old lady for me, and make her happy!"

At that time, no matter how I thought about it, I felt that he was joking. Did he think she could do it?Just making the old lady out of breath, the next day can make her happy, even if she has that ability, she can't waste that energy.
