Chapter 272: Rewards for marriage(1/2)
Ever since He Songning came that day, Xue Qinghe's yard has become much quieter.
The servants and wives were a lot lazy, and secretly cursed these two girls for being unable to hold up the wall.
It's fresh today.
They heard footsteps approaching. They looked up and saluted in astonishment: "Master? Why are you here?"
The maid then hurriedly went to look for Xue Qinghe.
Xue Chengdong walked straight past them, pushed the door open, and met Xue Qinghe, who was sitting there as if he had lost his soul.
"There's something..." Xue Chengdong just started.
Xue Qinghe quickly said: "I...I don't want to live in the master's house. I, I am not in a hurry to see other people's affairs..."
"There is no need to be anxious. You should have heard about the Meng tribe's surrender to Liang recently."
"yes……"
"The king of the Meng clan asked to marry a Liang Dynasty woman as his wife."
Xue Qinghe was stunned, because in her opinion, no matter what, this matter was not her turn...
"If I want you to go, are you willing?" Xue Chengdong's voice sounded again.
Xue Qinghe was completely stunned now.
Xue Chengdong had a certain understanding of Emperor Liang De.
When Emperor Liang De first asked if the concubine of the Xue family could get married, he knew that everything behind it was just a cover-up.
In this way, there is an explanation for why the emperor's expression was frozen at that time.
I'm afraid it's clearly written in the letter... The person asking to marry is the daughter of the Xue family.
However, Xue Qinghe has a reputation for not being talented at all, but also for being extremely beautiful. Even if he had it, it would not spread to the Mon people across thousands of miles.
There is only one possibility... that the Meng people don't care which daughter of the Xue family they marry.
As long as he is related by blood to Princess Xuan, it is enough.
This move... is for King Xuan!
Naturally, the emperor would not be happy to see his son unite with a foreign king.
What's more, they are so adjacent.
but……
Xue Chengdong stared at this daughter. He wanted Xue Qinghe to go.
Xue Qinghe has been the thorn in Xu Zhi's heart for so many years... Thinking of Xu Zhi, Xue Chengdong felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.
He collected his thoughts and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Xue Qinghe opened his mouth: "How could it be me?"
Xue Chengdong did not answer, stood up and left: "Think slowly."
When he walked outside the door, Xue Chengdong glanced at the servants who looked guilty, said nothing, and left again.
But after he left, the servants did not return to their previous lazy look. They immediately looked excited.
On that day, the news that Xue Qinghe was going to become the queen of the Mon tribe spread throughout the Xue family's back house.
"Second girl, this is your chance to make a comeback! Queen... think about it, is she in a higher position than Princess Xuan? If you go there, you will be like one person below ten thousand people!"
They were talking excitedly, wishing that Xue Qinghe would take them with him immediately, so that they could live in those days of glory and wealth.
Xue Qinghe was stood up like this.
Xue Chengdong knew she would agree...
As expected.
Before long, the emperor's imperial edict was issued.
And on the day the imperial edict was issued, Xue Qinghe also nodded.
For some reason, Emperor Liang De relented and actually allowed Xue Qinghe to marry into the Mon clan. For this reason, he first rewarded her with silk beads and jade as a dowry, and also named her "County Lord" and named her "Le'an".
Those hesitant ministers did not expect that the superiors would make a decision so quickly, and some people were still expressing their frustration in private.
If Xindao hooks up with a daughter from a side branch, it will be worth it in exchange for a few years of preferential treatment from His Majesty.
Mon royal palace.
The king of the Meng clan took over the imperial edict from the Liang Dynasty.
"Then Princess Xuan actually has a younger sister!" the minister said in surprise.
"Yes." The king of the Meng clan responded in a complicated tone.
The other ministers couldn't help but look at each other and thought to themselves, this Princess Xuan's sister is not as squeamish and troublesome as Princess Xuan, and is she more thoughtful?
But the matter has come to this, how can they allow them to repent on behalf of the king?
The king of the Mon clan said in a deep voice: "On October 3rd, the Liang Dynasty will have a procession to send the lord of Le'an County into the territory of the Mon clan."
The ministers then said: "I guess we have to get ready earlier..."
The king of the Meng clan responded: "Yes."
When the ministers retreated and only two or three close ministers were left, the king of the Meng clan frowned and said: "Why did Emperor Liang react like this? He should also know about the great gift that the Meng clan gave to King Xuan. He
But he held back and allowed the daughter of the Xue family to marry me."
"Presumably... the power of King Xuan was so great that even the Emperor of Liang Dynasty had to temporarily avoid the edge." The ministers around him speculated.
"That's all, it doesn't matter. This is just the beginning...The Emperor of Liang Dynasty is already quite old. As each year passes, his body becomes weaker and his suspicions become more severe."
The king of the Meng clan paused and said brightly: "What we have to wait for next is when the Lord of Le'an County comes to the Mon clan and brings items from the Liang Dynasty, which will also enable us to learn things from the Liang Dynasty... In the future
Then use it in the war with the Liang Dynasty."
The people around him cheered up: "Yes!"
On the other hand, major cities in Yizhou are still undergoing post-war reconstruction work.
King Xuan already had a very high prestige here, and at this time, the people just knew that Princess Xuan's natal family had grown up here.
The Xu family that once opened a pharmacy in the city was a branch of her natal family!
Naturally, they felt respect and intimacy in their hearts.
With such equal attention, it is much easier to deal with Yizhou affairs.
At this time, the officials of the royal family in Xingzhou, as well as those who had been caught before, and those who had not arrived in Yizhou in time... were all gathered together now.
They formally met with King Xuan and Princess Xuan in King Xuan's new residence.
"I believe you will ask them to unite as one and work together for the palace so that the people of the land can live and work in peace and contentment." Xue Qingyin patted Wan Shirong on the shoulder with a smile.
Wan Shirong, the head of the royal palace's subordinate officials. He was from the third rank and was known as "Wan Fu". He was the backbone of the palace's subordinate officials in the past.
When King Xuan did not go to the fiefdom, they put Wan Fu first in everything.
But now this Wanfu actually trembled in their eyes, and then he bowed down and fell down, almost grabbing the ground.
He said: "Yes. I will definitely live up to my official position."
The ministers of the royal palace who had never seen Princess Xuan all looked at a loss.
Wan Fu has always paid attention to etiquette and integrity...
How could he give such a grand gift in front of Princess Xuan and still do it to such a... such a flattering level?
They were still in a trance, but Princess Xuan had already left with King Xuan.
"Wan Fu, Princess Xuan..."
"Don't talk about the princess!" Wan Shirong interrupted with a stern face.
"Can……"
"Don't even say a bad word."
"This, isn't this just to silence people?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wan Shirong wrinkled his old face, "The princess is kind-hearted and thoughtful. She and your highness are a pair that is hard to find in heaven and earth..."
"..."
Wan Shirong turned around and said to the officials who had defected to Xingzhou together: "They don't believe my sincere words?"
These people who have suffered from Princess Xuan shook their heads repeatedly and said: "Young, still young!"
Xue Qingyin didn't know what these people were talking about after she left. It didn't matter either way.
Since these people will be selected as ministers of the royal palace, no matter how bad they are, they still have some ability. If they are not capable enough, they can be improved with some training.
We still have to rely on them in the fiefdom... should we delegate power appropriately?
Xue Qingyin didn't want her and Prince Xuan to die from exhaustion.
To be continued...
