Mo Jiuye was still walking in front of Fei Nanyu and his group, and he was also thinking about the conversation just now.
Logically speaking, the preparation of gifts can be left to the housekeeper in the mansion.
Nan Qi actually asked Fei Nanyu to prepare it himself. As long as you think about it for a moment, you will feel that there is something fishy about it.
Mo Jiuye knew Nan Qi quite well. He was not an upright gentleman. When he was his companion, he wouldn't even want to read the book if he didn't want to compare himself to him.
He just abides by his duty as a courtier. In order to make Nan Qi feel superior, he deliberately let things go during the exam.
Now that he has such an excellent Fei Nanyu by his side, if Fei Nanyu hadn't curbed his edge, it would be hard not to be feared by Nan Qi.
It seems that Fei Nanyu is walking on thin ice nowadays.
I just don’t know how he arranged it. Since there is already Aunt Fei as a witness, why not expose the matter and restore his true identity as the prince?
Of course, these were just thoughts in Mo Jiuye's mind, and it was impossible for him to participate in these battles.
Besides, Fei Nanyu looks good now. If he really gets to that position in the future, who knows what will happen?
Although he didn't want to have too much contact with Fei Nanyu, he heard that the Ninth Prince was holding a birthday, probably in the near future.
If they could sneak into the Ninth Prince's Mansion through Fei Nanyu, wouldn't it be much safer than taking the risk of their brothers sending Xiaobai off?
After thinking about it, Mo Jiuye decided to go to Fei Mansion in the evening to meet Fei Nanyu.
Regardless of whether he will change in the future, finding Mr. Simeng is the most important thing right now.
After making up his mind, Mo Jiuye had no intention of lingering any longer. He quickened his pace and headed straight for the Ninth Prince's Mansion.
The Ninth Prince is no longer respected by Emperor Shunwu, but he still has the status of a prince. Therefore, his residence is also very luxurious and the location is not far from the palace.
The Mohist men would pass by there when they went to court.
He originally planned to go straight to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, but unexpectedly, another accident happened on the way.
I saw a group of people coming from the direction of the palace. The leading eunuch held up a bright yellow imperial edict in his hand and came towards them at full speed.
You can tell from the raised corners of the eunuch's lips that something good is about to happen to whose family this is.
Behind a group of people, there were countless people.
After all, the messenger rode on horseback and the people walked. After a short time, they were far behind.
Despite this, the people who were watching the excitement were still not discouraged and continued to move in the direction of the messenger, with acquaintances still whispering.
"I heard that the emperor gave Princess Jade in marriage to the eldest son of He Shangshu family. The group of people just now should have gone to He Shangshu family to deliver the decree."
Hearing He Shangshu, Mo Jiuye immediately stopped.
This He Shangshu is his father-in-law.
The eldest son of the Heshang calligraphy family is his own eldest brother-in-law.
Although his daughter-in-law rarely mentioned matters about her parents' family to him, judging from the way his father-in-law and mother-in-law risked chasing the exile team to pay Ran Ran money when they were sentenced to exile, we can conclude that they must be very good to Ran Ran.
Since it was a matter involving his father-in-law's family, he had to go take a look.
Speaking of Princess Jade, Mo Jiuye is not unfamiliar.
She was the youngest daughter of the Ninth Prince's family, and she had been doted on by countless people since she was a child.
The only troublesome thing is that Princess Jade is very proud of her favor. Everyone in the capital knows that she has a domineering temper. Except for Emperor Shunwu's children, whom she dare not provoke, she will not take them seriously at all.
Although the Ninth Prince keeps a low profile, he is a special case for this daughter. Not only does he not stop Princess Jade from doing evil, but every time Princess Jade gets into trouble, he will go out of his way to help solve the problem.
It can be said that when the Ninth Prince made his most public appearances in the capital, he was helping his daughter to get things done.
If such an arrogant and domineering woman marries her uncle, He Shangshufu may not have a stable life in the future...
Mo Jiuye didn't know why Emperor Shunwu granted marriage to these two people with very different status.
In order to understand the situation, he mingled with the crowd who were running to watch the excitement. When he heard someone talking, he stepped forward to ask.
"Brother, do you know how the marriage between Princess Jade and the eldest son of the He family came about?"
Needless to say, Mo Jiuye really asked the right person.
That person already had the gossip factor, and he happened to know something about this matter.
When he saw someone asking, he suddenly felt a sense of superiority. As he walked, he explained to Mo Jiuye softly:
"The eldest son of He Shangshu family has just passed the examination and was seen by Princess Jade while parading in the street.
Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Jade liked handsome and handsome men. The eldest son of the He family was as handsome as Pan An, so he was attracted by Princess Jade at a glance.
Everyone in the capital knew how much the Ninth Prince loved Princess Jade. She wanted the stars, but the Ninth Prince would never give her the moon.
Princess Jade has fallen in love with the eldest son of the He family, and the Ninth Prince will definitely find a way to make it happen. "
As he spoke, the man shook his head and then sighed:
"It's a pity that the eldest son of the He family is so outstanding, I'm afraid he will be sad for the rest of his life..."
Mo Jiuye figured out the reason, and felt worried for her uncle.
Marrying Princess Jade is equivalent to marrying an ancestor. I am afraid that Shangshu Mansion will not have a good life.
At the same time, he also thought of He Zhiran.
If she were in the capital, what would she do if something like this happened at home?
Based on his understanding of his wife, He Zhiran would definitely find a way to prevent this marriage, even if it was granted by an imperial edict.
Now that he's caught up with something like this, he can't just sit back and watch.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that he really couldn't stop today's imperial decree to grant marriage.
Anyway, it's just a marriage. Princess Jade can't get married right away. He still has time to resolve the matter.
Thinking all the way, Mo Jiuye arrived at He Shangshu Mansion ahead of the common people.
At this moment, the door of Shangshu Mansion was open, and there were horses parked on one side in front of the door.
The two young men at the door were kneeling neatly towards the courtyard.
Mo Jiuye knew that at this time, the edict officer had already begun to read out the imperial edict.
He arrived relatively quickly, and there were not many people watching in front of the Shangshu Mansion. He easily found a place with a good view and stood there.
There is a stone wall in front of the Shangshu Mansion that blocks the view outside the gate, but it does not hinder Mo Jiuye's hearing.
He could hear the eunuch inside saying: "Congratulations, Mr. He, take the order!"
It stands to reason that the imperial decree of marriage is a happy event for the minister, but Mo Jiuye did not hear any joy in his uncle's tone.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness."
This tone makes people feel as uncomfortable and depressed as if their mother had died, which shows how disappointed the father-in-law's family is in this marriage.
The messenger knew very well that this was not a good marriage, but as a member of the emperor, he had to stand on the emperor's side. Even if he sympathized with He Shangshu's family, he could not show it.
