Zhang Maogang left not long ago.
The voice of housekeeper Chen Zhong suddenly sounded outside the door, with a hint of panic in his words.
"Master, master! It's not good!"
Chen Rui suddenly stood up and wiped his face, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Come in!"
Chen Rui said towards the door.
I saw Chen Zhong rushing in in a panic, almost knocking down the screen on the side.
Chen Rui's face darkened, and he said angrily: "How unbecoming is it to panic? Why are you in such a hurry!"
Chen Zhong saluted Chen Rui, and then said eagerly:
"Master, someone from the palace is here. They say they are here to deliver the order. Please call your name for the young master to receive the order!"
"What?!"
Chen Rui felt like the world was spinning. He was really afraid of what might happen, and he couldn't sit still all of a sudden.
Holding back his fear, Chen Rui pretended to be calm and said to Chen Zhong: "Go and call the young master first, I will be here soon!"
Chen Zhong glanced at Chen Rui and felt that Chen Rui's face seemed a little ugly.
At this time, Chen Rui was already a little confused and waved his hand towards Chen Zhong.
"Go quickly!"
When Chen Zhong saw this, he quickly ran towards the backyard to call Chen Ziyu.
Seeing Chen Zhong leave, Chen Ruixian looked at a portrait of a woman on the wall in panic and said:
"My mother, what should I do?"
"Hey, it's too late to say anything now! It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided! Now we can only leave it to fate."
Except for receiving imperial edicts when he went on an expedition, he had no such opportunity to receive edicts at other times.
"By the way, the silver, the silver is ready. Don't be surprised if there are many people. When the time comes, I will ask the father-in-law to say a few good words, and if the father-in-law begs for mercy, maybe there is room for change in this matter!"
In the front yard, when Chen Rui appeared, he happened to meet Chen Ziyu who had just come out of the backyard.
"Dad, morning!"
Chen Ziyuzi bared her big white teeth and greeted Chen Rui with a smile.
Chen Rui burst into tears when he saw Chen Ziyu's foolish look!
"Son, your father is here, don't be afraid!"
The eunuch who delivered the order was called Zhang San. Seeing that Chen Rui and his son had arrived, he screamed and said to Chen Ziyu:
"Is this Mr. Chen? Take the order."
"Crash!"
Chen Rui, Chen Ziyu, Zhang Mao, and the servants in the yard all fell to their knees.
"The Emperor of Heaven has sent an edict: Uncle Pingjiang and Princess Taikang are consorts made by heaven as matchmaker. Although they got into the wrong sedan chairs, they are in love with each other. It is indeed a good match! I have been thinking about it for a long time and cannot bear to break it up!"
"Princess Zhu Xiurong of Taikang is specially given to marry Chen Ziyu, the uncle of Pingjiang. From now on, Chen Ziyu will be granted the title of Prince Consort, with thousands of acres of fertile land. In memory of Chen Ziyu as an only son, I grant Princess Taikang permission to live in Pingjiang Uncle's Mansion without going to the princess. Mansion, I hope you will treat Princess Taikang well, I appreciate this!"
"My lord, thank you, Your Majesty!"
Chen Ziyu smiled and bowed down to express his gratitude, and stretched out his hands to receive the imperial edict from eunuch Zhang San with great joy.
Just as he was about to stand up, he heard Zhang San's voice: "Captain Prince Consort, don't worry, there is an imperial edict here for you too."
"besides?"
Although Chen Ziyu was a little confused, he still knelt down and returned to his original position.
Chen Rui on the side was already stunned!
The ending that was originally thought to be certain death turned out to be reversed!
The reversal was so dramatic!
Your Majesty not only spared his foolish son, but also was extra gracious and allowed the princess to get married!
This is a princess!
Not some cats and dogs!
You must know that throughout the entire Ming Dynasty, the favor of the princesses of the Hongzhi Dynasty is absolutely unprecedented!
Otherwise, the main reason is that the current Princess Taikang is His Majesty’s only daughter!
"Wow! The emperor's kindness is so great! Even if Chen Rui is shattered to pieces, there is no way he can repay His Majesty's kindness!"
Chen Rui beat his chest and stamped his feet, crying loudly!
The emotions accumulated over the past few days were suddenly released!
Eunuch Zhang San, who was about to continue announcing the decree, and Chen Ziyu, who was kneeling to receive the decree, were suddenly dumbfounded!
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Chen Ziyu tugged on Chen Rui's sleeve and asked in a low voice.
"Son!"
Chen Rui was immersed in the catharsis of emotions, hugged Chen Ziyu, and cried:
"My son is going to be successful! My son is so awesome! My son can actually marry a princess! My son! Daddy...Daddy is so happy!"
Chen Ziyu looked at Chen Rui with snot and tears streaming down his face with disgust, pointed at the eunuch and said:
"Dad, there are outsiders here. If you want to cry, you will cry later. First, finish receiving the imperial edict."
"Ah? Why is there still more?"
Chen Ziyu slapped his forehead!
You didn't listen to a word of what Qiang said just now. It's really heartbreaking!
At this time, eunuch Zhang San spoke with a smile.
"Uncle Ping Jiang, our family knows that you are happy, but we have to wait until our family declares the decree before we are happy again, haha!"
Chen Ziyu got goosebumps when he heard the sinister laughter, and he quickly scratched his body.
Chen Rui knelt down on the side and straightened up. He didn't care about his embarrassing appearance just now and grinned: "Yes, yes, my father-in-law said it is."
Zhang San took out another imperial edict from his arms, slowly opened it and began to read:
"The Emperor, who is bound by heaven, issued an edict: Pingjiang's uncle Chen Ziyu is diligent, studious and talented. He is truly a rare talent. Chen Ziyu is now the prince-in-law, and according to the ancestral system, he cannot become an official. However, I cannot bear to waste his knowledge, so I have made an exception to allow him. Enter Zhan Shifu, study with the prince, and assist the prince in his studies! I do this!"
After saying that, Zhang San handed the imperial edict to Chen Ziyu with a smile, and said to the Chen family and his son:
"Congratulations to the uncle, congratulations to the prince-in-law."
"Thank you, father-in-law! It's just such a small thing, but it's not respectful!"
Chen Rui took out a twenty-tael banknote with the smallest denomination from his arms and was about to stuff it into Zhang San's sleeve!
Now that his son has become successful, there is no need to bribe these eunuchs!
These are just etiquette questions and have nothing to do with money.
Zhang San took it away without leaving a trace, and the smile on his face became even brighter.
"Our family's affairs are finished, and we will return to the palace to resume our duties!"
"Butler, send Eunuch Zhang off for me!"
"It's the master!"
Chen Zhong nodded and bowed towards Zhang San.
"Eunuch Zhang, please come this way!"
Zhang San didn't take a few steps, but seemed to remember something and said to Chen Ziyu:
"By the way, Prince Consort, before we leave the palace, the Queen Mother asked us to tell you that Her Royal Highness the Princess will stay in the palace for the next few days. You will go to the palace to pick up the princess in three days."
"In addition, His Majesty also gave an oral instruction, saying that you will wait until you are finished with Princess Taikang's affairs before going to Zhan Shifu to teach the prince."
Chen Ziyu was a little confused and asked subconsciously:
"Why?"
"Giggle!"
Zhang San covered his mouth and snickered, then explained:
"The Empress expected that the prince-in-law would ask this question, so she specifically told our family that if the prince-son-in-law asks, let him go to Shouning Hou to explain himself. After all, the Shouning Hou Mansion is the biggest culprit!"
"ah?"
Chen Ziyu was immediately stunned!
"Damn it, this is the hatred of seizing your wife!"
"Why don't I go and be beaten to death by Shouning Hou and Zhang Kangnian?"
