Chapter 24: The Wedding Date

I was taking a nap at home that day. Uncle Liang suddenly called someone to come to my courtyard and asked me to go to the front hall quickly.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes while Yue Bai helped me dress up. Someone said that someone from the palace had come to deliver something.

I was pleasantly surprised after hearing this, so I quickly picked up my skirt and ran to the front hall.

As soon as I arrived at the front hall, I saw Eunuch He who had come to announce the decree last time.

My father and brother were waiting for me in the front hall. When he saw me coming, Eunuch He's face was full of smiles and he said, "Ah, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Miss Liang is becoming more and more generous."

After hearing this, I also had a slight smile on my face, leaned over to salute them, and said, "My father-in-law, Huan Qing does not dare to accept your compliments."

This Eunuch He was a popular eunuch before the emperor, but he became the chief eunuch when he was only in his thirties or forties.

He smiled, shook his fly whisk, and said: "Since the lady is here, let's take the order."

After hearing this, we knelt down as instructed.

He took the imperial edict from the hands of the attendant behind him, slowly opened it, cleared his throat, and read: "By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I heard that Liang Huanqing, the daughter of General Jianwei Liang Fengmian, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am with you.

Concubine Mei was very pleased to hear this. Now that the emperor's second son Qi Jingqin has lost his crown, he should choose a virtuous woman and a match when he is ready for marriage. When Liang Huanqing is waiting in the boudoir, he and the emperor's second son Qi Jingqin are a match made in heaven and earth, and they are the perfect match for a beautiful woman.

, Liang Huanqing was specially betrothed to the emperor's second son as the princess. All the etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qintian Supervisor, and the wedding was specially chosen to be held on the fourteenth day of the late spring lunar month.

The announcement was made at home and abroad, and the envoys heard about it.

"I admire this"

"Miss Liang, please accept the order."

"Your Majesty, I accept the decree. Long live my emperor!" I took the bright yellow cloth and thanked him loudly.

I stood up and handed the imperial edict to Yuebai behind me, telling her to keep it safely.

Eunuch He smiled and said: "In addition to announcing the wedding date this time, Concubine Mei also specially asked our family to bring something for the young lady."

I suddenly became interested and asked, "What is it?"

Eunuch He clapped his hands, and several eunuchs came up with trays.

On the tray was a set of nine-four phoenix crowns, a pair of phoenix hairpins, and a pair of gold hairpins. Several palace attendants followed behind them, carrying a set of wedding dresses with cloud brocade and golden outlines of bloody flowers on the other side of the sea like flowing clouds on the horizon.

The extremely soft crimson gauze, the rice-like southern pearls hanging on the handkerchief, and the phoenix belt embroidered with Liuyun gauze, at first glance, look extremely luxurious.

Seeing this, my father hurriedly pulled me to kneel down and thank me: "Thank you, Concubine Mei, for the reward."

You must know that the phoenix crown of Jiu Sifeng is only used by princesses when they get married. Now that Concubine Mei has rewarded me with the phoenix crown of Jiu Sifeng, it shows that she attaches great importance to and loves me.

Eunuch He hurriedly came over to help his father up, and said with a smile: "My Majesty said that when we were staying at the palace in Qishan, we recognized the young lady as the daughter of my old friend in Qinhuai. Now that the madam has passed away and the young lady is getting married, the Madam wants to do something for her."

Dad cupped his fists and saluted Eunuch He again and said, "I would like to ask Eunuch-in-law to thank my mother for me."

"That's natural." Eunuch He nodded, "Seeing that it's getting late, our family has returned to the palace to resume their duties. Now that the wedding is here, our family would like to congratulate the general." As he said this, he smiled at me and bowed.

I leaned over to return the courtesy. Seeing that Eunuch He was about to leave, I got up to see him off.

After seeing off Eunuch He, he returned to the front hall. Uncle Liang said that his father had gone to the ancestral hall, thinking of his mother. But my brother had never paid attention to me for so many days, which shows what a stingy person he is.

The two jars of bones given by Qi Jingqin are still in my courtyard, and I plan to send them to my brother later.

"Miss, let's go back to our own yard and give it a try?" Yuebai touched the phoenix crown and harem and wedding dress placed on the table, and couldn't help showing an envious look.
