The eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Babeile Mansion, which was originally bustling with people coming and going, was imprisoned as a clan member, and Guo Luoluo, ***, the direct descendant of the Fujin Dynasty, returned to his natal family to live.
Now, only sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi, two maids Dongyun and Qiaohui, and five masters are left living in the entire mansion.
Due to the lack of servants and servants to clean and repair, the originally clean bluestone path has long been submerged by wild vegetation.
Even under some flagstone roads, a lot of grass grew, adding a bit of desolation to the house.
This day.
Under the protection of a group of royal guards, a young eunuch came from Shandong and read out the imperial edict of amnesty:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict... In a battle at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, General Martai defeated 30,000 enemies. Prince Yinzhen requested an order to allow Martai Ruolan to separate from the guilty minister Yin. However, he could choose a day to return to Anxi and Qin this!"
Anxi City, later known as Guazhou County, is about two hundred meters away from Yumen Pass. This is also the garrison of General Martai.
After seeing off the little eunuch who had issued the imperial edict, Ruoxi couldn't help but congratulate her sister and said:
"Sister, we can go home!"
"Yes, we can finally go home!"
The moment Ruolan heard the imperial edict clearly, her heart, which had been silent for many years, seemed to have been poured with a ladle of snow from the Tianshan Mountains, and it suddenly came to life. Her eyes were full of the liveliness and loveliness of the old days when she was unmarried.
"Sister, let's clean up quickly and leave quickly!"
Ruoxi didn't want to stay here any longer.
"You girl, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ruolan was angry and funny when she saw her sister was so anxious:
"The journey from the capital back to Anxi City is full of mountains, rivers, and wind and rain. I'm afraid it will take two or three months to get there. I'm afraid I won't be prepared for it in a day or two!"
"Do you need to prepare a lot of things?"
When Ruoxi heard this, her eyes were blank.
In modern times, if you go on a trip, you just grab your bag and just buy everything on the way. Even if you need to bring something else, you only need to bring some cosmetics and a change of clothes.
Ruolan ignored her sister, turned around and came to the five masters. She first said a slight blessing, and then said sincerely:
"Master Tai, now His Majesty's decree allows us sisters to leave the capital. Can you escort us back?"
It's a long journey from Beijing to Anxi, and I'm afraid I won't have to cover five or six thousand miles.
Sisters Ruolan, Ruoxi, plus two maids, the four women were on their way. They were afraid that if they could not leave Zhili, they would be snatched away by the bandits in the Taihang Mountains and become the wives of Yazhai.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Ruolan wanted to invite five masters to escort her for a ride.
"This, Miss Ruolan, I need to ask the prince!"
The five masters have secretly protected Ruolan, and the Ruoxi sisters have been getting along with each other for nearly a year. Seeing how happy the two sisters are now, although I can't bear to refuse, I remember that I was arranged by Su Mingzhe, so, Still don't dare to be good at it.
When Ruolan heard that the Five Masters wanted to question Su Mingzhe, her expression immediately changed slightly:
"Master Tai, the Crown Prince, I'm afraid he won't let Ruoxi leave the capital so easily!"
Ever since the "pamphlet incident" years ago, Su Mingzhe began to send people to send food, drinks, clothes and jewelry every once in a while.
If there is a holiday, Su Mingzhe will write a letter to ask about the situation of the two sisters.
Su Mingzhe has paid so much for Ruoxi, but Ruolan doesn't think that Su Mingzhe, who has become the crown prince, will let Ruoxi leave easily.
Ruo Xi also understood this truth. When she heard the conversation between her sister and the fifth master, she immediately became so angry that she groaned:
"The emperor has let us go. Even if he is the prince now, how dare he resist the decree?"
After hearing this, Ruolan could only explain to her sister with a wry smile:
"The emperor's decree only said that I should choose a day to leave, but he didn't say that you should leave with me!
Therefore, even if the Crown Prince tries to persuade you to stay, it doesn’t count as disobedience!”
When Ruoxi heard this, she was startled. She quickly took out the imperial edict and looked at it. She saw that only her sister's name was written on it, and nothing happened to her.
All of a sudden, this girl who is not afraid of heaven or earth panicked:
"That's not right. I am staying here just to accompany my sister. Now that my sister can leave, and I have not made any mistakes, can he still stop me?"
…
Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yinxiang received good news.
Near the Tianshan Mountains, the Qing army defeated the Jungar tribe in six battles and captured more than 100,000 people.
After Su Mingzhe learned the news, he ordered someone to announce the good news to Kangxi, and by the way, he asked Ruo Xi's sister Ruo Lan for love, and also asked for a marriage decree for himself and Ruo Xi.
Kangxi was a bit petty. Although he recognized Su Mingzhe's ability to govern, after receiving the good news, he immediately pardoned Marte Ruolan and let her divorce Yin.
However, it was not until the next day that the decree of marriage was delivered.
The young eunuch who received the task of delivering the order, after learning the details, did not dare to delay and hurried back to the capital overnight.
Unfortunately, Kangxi was on patrol in Shandong at this time, and the first imperial edict was sent out on the first day and was delivered the next day.
As for the young eunuch who delivered the second imperial edict, no matter how hard he hurried, he was still a step late. When he returned to the capital, the city gates were closed.
The young eunuch did not dare to delay and called the city guards all night.
It is already late at night.
Zheng, Rouze, and Lan Xin were two beauties. The ridiculous Su Mingzhe, when he heard that the eunuch had arrived in the middle of the night, he thought there was some emergency and got out of bed before the ceremony of Duke Zhou was over.
When Su Mingzhe learned the specific situation, he was so angry that he almost bit the roots of his teeth:
"This bad old man is very bad!"
"I worked hard to help him manage the government affairs, but he just walked away and didn't say anything, only to find trouble for himself!"
During the day, Su Mingzhe learned that Kangxi only pardoned Ruolan and did not issue a marriage decree. He originally thought that Kangxi would not agree to the marriage.
Unexpectedly, Kangxi, a bad old man, suppressed the marriage decree for a whole day just to "teach" himself a lesson.
This kind of child's play behavior made Su Mingzhe dumbfounded.
Gen tweeted all night.
Early the next morning, Su Mingzhe came to Babele Mansion with the young eunuch who was delivering the order.
When Su Mingzhe came to Ruolan's attic, he saw Ruolan counting the items he needed to prepare along the way with his fingers, while Ruoxi was holding a brush and writing down the approximate quantities that would be used along the way.
If sisters want to go to Anxi from Beijing, they must first consider safety issues.
Yesterday, Ruolan begged the fifth master to help hire a reliable escort agency to escort her sisters away.
Seeing the friendship between us all for a year, the Fifth Master couldn't refuse this request after all.
I went to find an escort agency early this morning.
In addition, four women cannot go home on their legs.
Ruoxi and the two maids can't ride horses yet, so they need to get one or even two carriages for this purpose.
There is also the issue of food and drinking water along the way.
You must know that there are many sections on this road, which may be dozens or even hundreds of people away.
Sister Ruolan Ruoxi has no official status and cannot stay at the inn along the way. If she does not prepare food and water, she may die of thirst or starvation even if she does not run into bandits.
There are also medicines, cold-proof clothes, bedding, etc.
All these things, it can be said that there are too many things to prepare.
After standing at the door for a while, Su Mingzhe could only cough lightly when he realized that no one was paying attention to him.
Sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi finally came to their senses:
"Good luck to you, Your Majesty!
"no!"
Su Mingzhe walked into the room and took a look, then frowned:
"Five masters and maids
Not here?」
Ruolan quickly explained:
"Master Wumei has gone to hire an escort for us! The two maids have gone to buy a carriage!"
When Yin was imprisoned in the sect's mansion at the beginning of the year, the entire Babeile mansion was ransacked.
Not to mention the carriage, there was not much furniture left in the rooms of sisters Ruolan and Ruoxi.
When Ruoxi saw the man arriving, she recalled what her sister and the fifth master said yesterday, and couldn't help but raise her heart to her throat and asked:
"Prince, what are you doing here?"
She is now really afraid that men will intercept her and prevent her from going home.
"The one who delivers the message!"
When Su Mingzhe saw the girl's appearance, he guessed what she was thinking.
Therefore, at this time, Su Mingzhe was too lazy to talk nonsense. He coughed lightly and called the young eunuch in to deliver the order.
Not long after, the little eunuch read the marriage edict once, and Ruoxi was dumbfounded.
The world is vast, and the emperor is the greatest!
Now that the emperor has granted a marriage, how to break it?
This chapter has been completed!
