"Your Majesty, I feel that what my eldest son has done is extremely inappropriate. That Miss Su was a life-saving grace to him, and the two of them were already close to each other at that time. If the marriage is canceled, how will Miss Su handle herself? , I came here today to boldly request the emperor to grant a marriage to the two of them."
After Yu Huai finished speaking, he knelt down.
Emperor Anqing tapped his index finger on the table.
"Xuan Yuzheng."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Mao left the imperial study, and soon a young eunuch went to the Hanlin Academy where Yu Zheng worked.
The Hanlin Academy was built in the palace, and it only took more than a quarter of an hour to go back and forth. Yu Zheng quickly arrived at the Imperial Study Room.
"My lord, please see your Majesty."
"My dear, you don't need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I don't know, my dear, what is the reason why I called you here today?"
"Go back to the emperor, I don't know."
The emperor glanced at Yu Huai, who was waiting at the side.
"I heard that you broke off your engagement with that Miss Su. Is this true?"
"Back to the Emperor, I have indeed broken off my engagement with the girl from the Su family."
Although Emperor Anqing heard Yu Zheng admit this personally, he still didn't believe it. He still remembered that the last time Yu Zheng mentioned Miss Su in front of him, the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.
"But Your Majesty, I broke off Miss Su's engagement because there was something hidden in it."
"tell me the story."
"Back then, Miss Su rescued me from the cold river. Due to rumors spreading in the village, I went to Su's house to propose to Miss Su. At that time, the two of us had an agreement. After the rumors subsided over time, our relationship The marriage was abandoned. However, I later learned that Miss Su had fallen ill in order to save me. From that time on, I decided to marry Miss Su, but Miss Su was unwilling. Moreover, the engagement was too hasty and I had not prepared many things. So I canceled the marriage first, but I plan to go to the Su family to ask for Miss Su's hand in marriage after a while until she agrees."
"So that's it. Have you told your father what you think?"
"Back to the emperor, I haven't had time to say anything yet."
Emperor Anqing thought the same thing. It had only been a few days.
"Today your father came to me and asked me to marry you to that girl Su. What do you think?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Haha..., I will serve you with pen and ink."
The waiting Eunuch Mao quickly prepared his pen and ink. Emperor Anqing brushed a few strokes, and an imperial edict granting marriage was already written.
"Mao Zhe, you will personally deliver this imperial edict to Jinjia Village."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The three of them exited the imperial study together.
"Congratulations to both adults."
Yu Zheng smiled and held hands with Eunuch Mao.
Yu Huai didn't know how he felt in his heart. If he had known that Yu Zheng had such a plan, he would not have come to the emperor to ask for the imperial edict of marriage. Isn't this a waste of worry?
Eunuch Mao could tell at a glance that the father and son were at odds. After saying a few words, he left on the pretext of going to announce the decree, leaving only the father and son on the road.
"Brother Zheng, why didn't you tell your father that you planned to marry that girl from the Su family again?"
"Didn't my father ask me when he came to the emperor to ask for orders? I just learned this from my father."
"you!"
Yu Huai pointed at Yu Zheng, but thinking that he was in the palace, he quickly put his hand down, fluttered his sleeves and walked away.
Yu Zheng, who was behind him, didn't care that Yu Huai was scorning him at this time. He was in a good mood today, and he had planned a lot for this. He just didn't know what Su Yu's expression would be like when he received the imperial edict.
Emperor Anqing issued several imperial edicts granting marriage every year. It was not unusual for the edicts to grant marriage every year, but it was really uncommon for Eunuch Mao to go there in person. You must know that Eunuch Mao served Emperor Anqing closely and would not do it easily. After leaving Emperor Anqing's side, he sent Eunuch Mao to Jinjia Village to read out the imperial edict of marriage. This made the officials in Kyoto unable to see through. Could it be that the emperor really paid so much attention to this year's new top scorer?
The imperial edict granting marriage has not yet left Kyoto City, but has already spread in Kyoto City. The young ladies who had just been happy for a few days burst into tears. The edict granting marriage has been approved, which means that the marriage has been approved by the emperor, and there will be no changes after that. possible.
At the entrance of Jinjia Village, the weather was rare today and the sun came out. Several women in the village were chatting and basking in the sun at the entrance of the village. There were also a few boys and girls in the village playing around at the entrance of the village.
From a distance, the mother-in-law saw a team walking towards Jinjia Village on the official road. She thought she was dazzled, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes to make sure she saw it correctly.
"Then who's coming?"
The ladies took a look at the official road and saw that the husband-in-law was more impressive than the time Mrs. Yu came. Could it be that someone from the Yu family came again? No! They had to go to Su's house to report a message, but some of them had old legs and feet that were not in control. They were afraid that before they could reach the door of Su's house, the team would arrive before them.
"Brother Xiang, come here."
Mrs. Zhao waved and called her eldest grandson.
"Grandma, what do you want from me?"
"Hurry up to Su's house and give Miss Su a message, saying that people from Yu Mansion are here again."
As soon as Jin Xiang heard this, Sayazi ran to Su's house. The women sitting at the entrance of the village didn't want to deal with the people in Yufu anymore, so they went home one by one and locked the courtyard door directly.
When the team arrived at the village entrance, they originally wanted to find someone to ask where the Su family was, but unexpectedly there was no one at the village entrance. The team could only walk into the village first, thinking that they would always meet someone.
Su Yu had a great time petting the dog.
"Miss Su, people from Yu Mansion are here again."
Su Yu still remembered this voice. It was that boy Jin Xiang, who got up and walked to the door of the courtyard.
"Jin Xiang, please tell me what's going on?"
"Miss Su, I was playing at the entrance of the village. My grandma called me over and asked me to run over and tell you that people from Yufu are here again."
Su Yu was speechless. The people in the remaining mansion were still in trouble.
The Su family's masters and servants all came out at this moment and listened to everything Jin Xiang said.
"Don't worry, my dear, there are so many people in our house this time, we won't be bullied by others."
"Well, I'm not afraid at all."
Jin Xiang's leg and leg skills are really impressive. He ran to Su's house in one breath. On the way, he met his father and his group who were building a house. He said by the way that people from Yu Mansion were here again, so he didn't know how to use kung fu. Not far away, a group of young men came in large numbers. They were obviously the same group of people who helped Su Yu beat away the guards of the Yu Mansion last time.
"Don't worry, Miss Su. As long as we are here, we will not allow people from Yufu to run wild in our village."
You must know that the last time they helped the Su family, Miss Su gave them a bottle of wound medicine. Some villagers had bought it before when they were injured. A bottle of ointment cost one or two silver, which was extremely expensive. After receiving this benefit, the villagers felt that they were taking advantage of it. Taking advantage of the Su family, I heard that people from the Yu Mansion were coming again, and they came over one by one with sticks in hand.
"I would like to thank you uncles first."
Soon, the team arrived in front of Su's house. The villagers saw Village Chief Jin nodding and bowing, looking fawning on a man dressed as a eunuch next to the carriage, and they didn't understand. At any time, officials in Kyoto City were required to have a A eunuch.
Then they saw Village Chief Jin running towards them. This was the first time in all these years that they saw Village Chief Jin running so fast.
Village Chief Jin ran to the door of the Su Family Courtyard and saw so many villagers standing there. His head suddenly felt heavy.
"Miss Su, let your family come out to receive the order. The emperor has an order from over there."
The people standing at the door of the Su Family Courtyard were all confused. It turned out that the person who came was not from the Yu Mansion, but the emperor's imperial edict. Oh my god, they had never seen what the imperial edict looked like in their old age.
