"[According to the empress dowager's kind instructions, Sheng An, the daughter of Yongxing Hou Sheng Xiangxun, is harmonious in nature, intelligent and obedient, dignified and prudent, calm and quiet, elegant and wise, and has a pure appearance. She will be the second son of the emperor in the year of marriage. Jiang Yucong is a good match. Both I and the Queen Mother love her. Therefore, in order to have a good relationship and hope for good news, Sheng An, the daughter of Yongxing Hou Sheng Xiangxun, will marry Jiang Yucong, the second son of the emperor, and they will become the prince's concubine. According to the Ministry of Rites, the Heavenly Supervisor Organize the operation, and choose a good time and auspicious day to consummate the marriage. Announcement at home and abroad, the envoys have heard of it. I admire this.】"
Zheng An, the eunuch in charge of the imperial edict, came to the Yongxing Hou Mansion in person with the imperial edict, and said, "Heaven will carry the emperor, the edict says," and finally decided Sheng An's life-long events.
Sheng Xiangxun took his wife and children to set up an incense table, accepted the imperial edict, left Zheng An to have tea, and gave a big red envelope to say hello to you and me. We all congratulated each other, and then sent away the people around Emperor Jinghe. confidant.
When there was only a family of three in the room, the joy on Sheng Xiangxun's face softened.
He and Zheng looked at each other and sighed silently.
The couple didn't say a word, but Sheng Yuan, who was sitting in the middle, looked left and right, and it felt like they had said thousands of words.
Tsk tsk tsk! She seems a little redundant.
Sheng Yuan, who felt redundant, planned to run away.
Her sister's marriage was a foregone conclusion. It would be useless for her to think about it any more. She might as well go out for a walk.
But as soon as she took a small step, her parents held down her shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Where are you going?" Sheng Xiangxun and Zheng asked the same question at the same time.
Sheng Yuan, who felt a little stressed inexplicably, lowered his arms and said honestly: "I want to find out how many imperial edicts the emperor has issued."
"..." Mrs. Zheng originally wanted to vent her frustration by taking care of her little girl, but this girl's reasons made her a little moved.
She also wanted to know who Sister An's future sisters-in-law would be.
Looking at her well-behaved little daughter with regret, Ms. Zheng sighed and waved her hand: "Go! Let's find out more!"
When Sheng Yuan heard this, she jumped up and ran out with joy as if she had been granted amnesty.
"Fortunately, I'm smart!" After leaving the second door, Sheng Yuan stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't think she didn't see their intention to take it out on her!
snort! She, Shengyuan, could just clean it up if she wanted to!
Swinging her sleeves proudly, Sheng Yuan clasped her hands behind her back, took square steps, hummed a tuneless tune, and walked out casually.
Of course, the channel through which she inquired was very simple, which was Anyu!
Release her favorite little rouge and she will soon have a good friend.
In the garden of the Anseong Hou Mansion, three long-lost friends reunited.
Of course, the long absence here refers specifically to Sheng Yuan and Lu Sheng.
It is said that a day without seeing each other is like three autumns. They have not seen each other for three months, so it is not an exaggeration to say that they have not seen each other for a long time.
"Uncle Lu San still doesn't believe you?" Sheng Yuan did not rush to ask about the imperial edict, but first paid attention to Brother Sheng.
As I said before, Lu Sheng's father and the emperor acted just to scare Lao Baoxiang Hou and his wife, so that they would not be too keen on arranging Mrs. Hou for Chengzhong Hou Mansion.
According to the original plan, Lu Sheng's father, the Marquis of Chengzhong himself, only had to leave the capital for a few days, and Quan should go out to relax and act as an informant for the emperor.
But he didn't expect that Marquis Chengzhong had been out of the capital for half a month without any reply.
This made Lu Sheng panic.
If his uncle Baoxianghou hadn't sent someone to keep a close eye on him and catch him back from the city gate, he would have gone to find his father with one man, one horse and one sword.
"Brother Sheng, I asked my uncle. Uncle Lu took over the task temporarily. There may be some twists and turns, so it's not convenient for me to write to you. Don't worry, Uncle Lu will definitely return safely soon!" An Yu saw Lu Sheng shook his head silently and couldn't help but comfort him.
Lu Sheng forced a smile: "I know...I know."
Seeing him like this, Shengyuan and Anyu looked at each other and stayed with him quietly.
After a while, Lu Sheng adjusted his mood and didn't want his friends to take the initiative to bring up the topic just because he was depressed.
Of course, the topic that can be brought up without thinking now is the draft.
Sheng Yuan happened to ask Anyu about the imperial decree granting marriage.
"My uncle originally chose the princess for his third cousin, but he made a fuss too much and said that he would not marry me except your sixth cousin. In a rage, my uncle tore up the imperial edict he had written before. My aunt said, I’m afraid his imperial edict will be delayed.”
Anyu was frightened when he thought about the scene at that time. He had never seen his uncle lose such a temper. Even the fury of thunder was not enough to describe it.
"Originally, my uncle also chose a princess for the fourth prince, but it was stuck with the third cousin. For my aunt's sake, my uncle had no choice but to press the imperial edict and postpone it until later."
Sheng Yuan nodded and understood. The candidate for her sister's sister-in-law is probably yet to be decided.
"As for the other beautiful girls, my uncle only kept three or five to enrich the harem and gave them the status of talented people... and also selected more than ten beautiful girls to point out to the royal relatives." These are too trivial, and An Yu also I can’t remember clearly, but that’s roughly what it means.
"Didn't the Emperor propose marriage to Prince Jing?" Lu Sheng remembered that Prince Cheng mentioned to them that Princess Jing's position was vacant when he was congratulating them on being admitted as a scholar.
"I heard from my aunt that Concubine Cen seemed to have begged the Queen Mother to give her niece to Prince Jing. However, the Cen family did not have girls of the right age to choose from, so they only gave two concubines this time. I am afraid that the main concubine will not be available until the next draft. ”
"..." Sheng Yuan suddenly counted with his fingers and asked An Yu in disbelief, "I remember that King Jing is already thirty years old, right? Concubine Cen can really sit still!"
"My aunt also said that most of the girls of the Cen family's next talent show will be her nieces and nephews." An Yu shrugged, "I can't help it. Now she lives with Prince Jing's house. Princess Jing's surname is Cen, so she may be able to take care of herself in her old age. "
Sheng Yuan said that she did not dare to understand and was shocked.
It seemed that the most important edict in the past two days was her sister's.
Knowing what she wanted to know, Sheng Yuan felt satisfied.
So the three of them couldn't sit still.
The house is so big outside, they want to take a walk!
"Brother Yu! Sister Yuan!" The three of them were about to walk to the outer city, but not long after leaving the Ancheng Marquis' Mansion, they heard the third prince's call.
Sheng Yuan and Anyu looked at each other after hearing the sound.
"Should you pretend you didn't hear it?" Sheng Yuan blinked quickly.
"Definitely! Just pretend you didn't hear it! Leave us quickly!" Anyu blinked faster.
"Run!" Sheng Yuan and Anyu nodded silently toward each other.
"If you dare to run away, I will cry to my father and my grandmother, saying that you attacked me again today and one of you kicked me!"
Sheng Yuan stopped as soon as he started: "???"
Anyu staggered due to inertia: "!!!"
Shengyuan & Anyu: Wow! Has the Third Prince learned to be shameless? !
