Chapter 257 Xue Baochai marries her husband according to the decree
Although Jia Yun went to the palace to meet Emperor Tianzhi as soon as possible after returning to Beijing, some of the bodyguards returned directly to the Wujun Palace, letting everyone in the palace know that he had returned to Beijing.
This is the first time Jia Yun has returned home after being promoted to Chang'an Jiedushi. Promotion is a happy event, and being promoted to the second rank of Chang'an Jiedushi is even more joyful.
Therefore, when Jia Yun returned to the Wujun Palace in Dongcheng after meeting Emperor Tianzhi, the Wujun Palace had already set up a battle array to welcome him.
The main gate was opened wide, and a large group of palace officials, guards, soldiers and even eunuchs, led by Chang Shi Yuzhu, welcomed Jia Yun's return.
Bu Wuniang also led the female relatives, including Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Xiangling, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, Liu Wuer, etc., to greet Jia Yun at the entrance of her courtyard.
When Jia Yun came to Bu Wuniang Courtyard and saw such a welcoming battle, she could not help but feel a sense of accomplishment. The depression and fatigue she had felt at Chang'an Camp in recent days seemed to have been swept away.
Jia Yun walked into the Yang'en Hall surrounded by the female family members. After sitting down, the two people in the room, Xi Ren and Zicjuan, knelt down and bowed to him. The other female family members also knelt and bowed to him.
Jia Yun immediately asked the rest of the crowd to leave, leaving only the roommates and a few pretty maids in the hall. Then she chatted with Bu Wuniang about the Chang'an Camp. Although everything in the Wujun Prince's Palace has been business as usual recently, there are inevitably a few...
There is something that needs to be discussed with Jia Yun.
For example, Li Feixue came to Beijing again!
Bu Wuniang said to Jia Yun: "Does Your Majesty still remember Miss Li Feixue?"
Jia Yun was confused: "Why did my wife suddenly mention her?"
Jia Yun now calls Bu Wuniang "Mrs."
It would be outrageous to be a "mother".
When Li Feixue was mentioned, Zijuan and Qingwen, who were standing in the hall, looked depressed.
Bu Wuniang said: "More than a month ago, that girl Li Feixue came to Beijing again. In the past month or so, she has come to the palace three times."
The first time it was Li Feixue who came on his own initiative, in the name of visiting Bu Wuniang. Since Bu Wuniang liked her, he asked her to come more often in the future. She was really not polite, and then came twice on her own initiative.
Jia Yun smiled playfully and immediately realized that Li Feixue's visit to Beijing was probably for him!
Jia Yun had long thought that once he became a very noble man, Li Danbai would probably be willing to let Li Feixue be his concubine, and would even take the initiative to find him for this matter.
It's just that Jia Yun didn't expect that he would be the son of Emperor Tianzhi and that he would become a very noble person so quickly in such a way.
Jia Yun said: "Madam, today I discussed my marriage with my father."
Bu Wuniang asked with concern: "How did we discuss it?"
All the girls present also became concerned.
Jia Yun said: "I asked my father to let me marry Miss Xue Baochai in August this year, and my father agreed."
Bu Wuniang's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "This is another great joy. As a result, in two or three months, there will be a princess in this palace!"
Bu Wuniang had been looking forward to Jia Yun's marriage for a long time. Since Jia Yun became the queen of Wujun, some people in the Prince's Palace of Wujun had also discussed that the marriage might not happen, even though Jia Yun personally told Bu Wuniang that it would happen in the second half of this year.
Bu Wuniang was still worried about marrying Xue Baochai.
Bu Wuniang's main worry is that she knows that Jia Yun likes Xue Baochai very much. If Emperor Tianzhi does not agree to the marriage, Jia Yun will inevitably be sad and may even have a dispute with Emperor Tianzhi...
Xiren, Zijuan and even Qingwen were all envious of this marriage, but they were not jealous. They had never thought of becoming princesses themselves, and they all had a good impression of Xue Baochai.
However, there was a pretty maid at the scene who was jealous, and that was Sanjie You!
Sanjie You's background is not bad. Her biological father is a sixth-grade official, her stepfather is also a wealthy businessman, and her eldest sister You is the wife of Ningguo Mansion. However, her family is unfortunate. Her biological father died, and her stepfather also died. The You family fell into decline, and even Ningguo Mansion
They were all defeated, and the You family was also in despair.
Even so, Sanjie You doesn't feel that her background is any worse than that of Xue Baochai, and she has a strong personality, and she also likes Jia Yun. Now she heard that Jia Yun is about to marry Xue Baochai as the princess, but now she
She could only stay by Bu Wuniang's side as a maid, so she would naturally become jealous.
The kind, gentle and obedient Second Sister You is not jealous, but it is inevitable that she is envious.
Jia Yun said again: "Mom, I will only stay in Beijing for three or four days this time. I will return to Chang'an on the 25th. When I leave this time, I plan to bring two girls to serve."
When Jia Yun went to Chang'an camp for the first time, Bu Wuniang suggested that he take two maids to serve him, but he declined. At that time, he was only serving as a deputy general and planned to capture Chang'an camp, so it was inconvenient to take maids with him. Now he
He was already the governor of Chang'an, and the Chang'an camp was under his control, so he could naturally take care of two maids.
As soon as Jia Yun said this, Qingwen, Xiangling, Liu Wuer, and even Second Sister You and Third Sister You all started looking forward to it. Even Xiren and Zijuan were looking forward to it.
Bu Wuniang smiled and said: "Of course it is, which two girls are you going to take?"
Jia Yun raised her head and looked at the women in the hall. Some were shy, while others looked at him bravely, such as Zijuan, Qingwen, and Third Sister You.
Jia Yun looked around and said, "One is Qingwen. In addition, please give me Xiangling as a reward. This time, Xiangling will also go to Chang'an."
Qingwen was immediately excited, and Xiangling was also excited, but more out of shame, her head lowered, and her face was a little red.
Bu Wuniang said with a smile: "What a coincidence. Xiangling has been with me for two years and is not young anymore. And the only powerful girl around you now is Qingwen. I originally planned that this time when you come back...
I’ll give you Xiangling.”
Bu Wuniang looked at Xiangling: "Xiangling, go pack your luggage now, call your mother to help, and move it to the prince's courtyard."
Xiangling blushed and whispered, "Yes."
Jia Yun immediately returned to her main courtyard, followed by Xiren, Zijuan and Qingwen. As soon as she returned to the main courtyard, Zijuan couldn't help but complained: "Why didn't the prince take me and Xiren?"
Going to Chang'an?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xiren quickly stared at Jia Yun, she also wanted to go to Chang'an to serve!
Jia Yun smiled and said: "You are all in my room. It is not convenient to take you to Chang'an to serve you."
Zijuan asked: "Why is it inconvenient?"
Jia Yun explained: "If my father knew that I took two of my family members to Chang'an just after I became the governor of Chang'an, he might think that I am proud or even greedy. Besides, I will get married in two or three months.
, the two of you also need to help my wife prepare for this wedding."
Zijuan said "Oh", which made Xiren feel better.
However, Jia Yun then said to Qingwen: "Go and get ready. I want to take a bath, and you will take care of me."
The journey back to the capital city from Chang'an was so dusty that it would be uncomfortable if I didn't take a bath.
Qingwen glared at Jia Yun in embarrassment, but still went to prepare obediently.
Zijuan couldn't help but "hum". Although this was not the first time Qingwen had served like this, Zijuan was still subconsciously jealous of this kind of thing. Zijuan also thought that this time Qingwen followed Jia Yun to Chang'an.
Little Hooves will probably take the opportunity to become a member of the room, huh!
…
…
afternoon.
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng were all staying in Jia Mu's Rongqing Hall, chatting about Jia Yun's return to Beijing.
At this time Jia Mu asked: "I heard that Prince Wu is going to marry Bao Yatou in the second half of this year. Now it's already May, and there is no news about the marriage, and Prince Wu is married to Chang'an."
Jiedu Envoy, I am increasingly busy with official duties. I wonder if the wedding in the second half of this year will come true?"
Jia Yun said that she would marry Xue Baochai in the second half of this year. The news had spread in Rongguo Mansion. The first person to spread the news was not Xue Pan but Ying'er.
That day, Ying'er followed Aunt Xue to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion. A maid commented in front of her that the marriage between Jia Yun and Xue Baochai would not work out. Ying'er was so angry that she couldn't help but talk about Jia Yun's plan to marry Xue Baochai in the second half of this year.
At this moment, Mrs. Xing couldn't help but said: "I don't think this marriage can happen. Even if Prince Yun... Wujun is willing, the current emperor will definitely not agree. There is a huge difference in ranking."
Mrs. Xing hated Jia Yun in her heart. Even so, she had to admit that Jia Yun's status was indeed extremely noble, and she was envious and jealous of Xue Baochai marrying Jia Yun as the princess.
Jia Mu looked at Wang Xifeng: "Brother Feng, what do you think?"
Wang Xifeng paused and said: "Old lady, with all due respect, the emperor will probably not agree to this marriage. Prince Wujun is not only the prince now, but also the powerful military envoy of Chang'an. If Bao Yatou is the granddaughter of the old lady,
, it’s certainly enough in terms of points, but it’s a pity that Bao Yatou is not.”
Wang Xifeng is also jealous of this marriage, but her current words are not just out of jealousy, she really thinks so in her heart.
Jia Mu nodded, feeling rather happy instead of depressed.
Now that Jia Yun has become the governor of Chang'an, Jia's mother thinks that Jia Yun is really great, and hopes that Jia Yun will eventually withdraw from Xue Baochai and marry Yingchun or Lin Daiyu instead.
The reason why she is concerned about this marriage now is because she secretly holds this idea in her heart. She has even thought about it. Once Jia Yun withdraws from Xue Baochai, she will find a way to get Yingchun or Lin Daiyu to get engaged to Jia Yun, even if it is just a visit.
When the Spring Capital is established, the Rongguo Mansion will not only have a noble concubine, but also a princess!
At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family hurried in and said to Jia Mu: "Old lady, a master eunuch from the palace came to the house with an imperial edict, saying that he had issued an edict to the Xue family."
Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Li Wan, and Wang Xifeng were all shocked. Jia Mu hurriedly asked, "Are you here for the marriage between Prince Wu and Bao Yatou?"
Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I don't know, people are waiting outside the house."
Jia Mu said, "Hurry up and go to Lixiangyuan to inform your concubine to accept the order. Also send someone to call the eldest master and ask him to take the eunuch to Lixiangyuan."
The Lin Zhixiao family respectfully accepted the order.
Jia Mu said again: "When you know what the decree is, please report back as soon as possible."
Lin Zhixiao's family turned and left.
…
…
The Rongguo Mansion has recently been building the Grand View Garden, and the Xuantian area has been very lively, which has caused hardship to the Xue family.
Due to the construction of the Grand View Garden, many people come in and out from the back door of Rongguo Mansion every day. The Grand View Garden is next to Lixiangyuan.
Enter through the corner door.
In addition, as Jia Yun recently became the governor of Chang'an, the Rongguo Mansion's discussion of Xue Baochai became more and more exaggerated, saying that Xue Baochai was not worthy of Jia Yun, Jia Yun would not really marry Xue Baochai, and the emperor would not agree...
As a result, Aunt Xue's visits to the inner house of Rongguo Mansion have become less frequent recently.
At this time, Aunt Xue was staying in Lixiangyuan with Xue Baochai and Ying'er. Xue Baochai was wearing simple and elegant home clothes as always, with her hair combed back and pulled into a bun, which was the hairstyle for those who were getting married in their late twenties.
The three masters and servants were chatting while doing acupuncture. They were also talking about Jia Yun's return to Beijing today. They had also heard that Jia Yun had returned to Beijing.
At this time, Aunt Xue said to Xue Baochai: "My dear daughter, this time Prince Wu returns to Beijing, I wonder if he will set a date for your wedding? Prince Wu has become the governor of Chang'an and is even more busy with official duties. But now
It's already May, if you don't set a wedding date, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married in the second half of the year."
Xue Baochai said awkwardly: "Mom, how could I know this?"
Aunt Xue sighed: "Oh, I'm really worried. Recently, the gossip in the Rong Mansion about our family's marriage has become more and more excessive. If the emperor really disagrees with this marriage, it will be terrible!"
Xue Baochai and Ying'er both lowered their heads, and both of them were worried!
At this moment, Lin Zhixiao's family came in a hurry. After arriving, they hurriedly said: "Auntie, a eunuch from the palace has come to your house with an imperial edict. Get ready to receive the edict!"
Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai, and Ying'er were all shocked. An imperial edict came to the Xue family to issue an edict? This has never happened before, let alone the past few years, even when the Xue family was an official family. This is the first time!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Aunt Xue quickly asked: "What is the purpose?"
Lin Zhixiao's family said: "I don't know. Don't ask. Get ready to receive the order. The eldest master will bring the eunuch master soon!"
Aunt Xue was anxious: "But my Pan'er is not at home."
Lin Zhixiao's family said: "Then it's up to you to take over the order."
Aunt Xue hurriedly prepared with Lin Zhixiao's family and set up an incense table in the main room, while Xue Baochai and Ying'er hid in the inner room.
Soon, Jia She walked into the main room with several palace eunuchs. The leading eunuch was named Liu, and he was Qiu Shian's subordinate.
Jia She saw that only Aunt Xue accepted the order but not Xue Pan. He was dissatisfied and said: "Auntie, where is Brother Pan? If he doesn't accept the order, how can you let you accept it?"
Aunt Xue said bitterly: "Pan'er is not at home."
Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can just accept the order."
Eunuch Liu already knew the content of the imperial edict and knew that the woman in front of him was about to become Jia Yun's mother-in-law, so he would not show off in front of Aunt Xue.
Immediately, Aunt Xue, Jia She, and Lin Zhixiao's family all knelt down and held their breath.
Eunuch Liu took out the imperial edict and read it out:
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: After Ziwei passed away to Duke Xue, there was a daughter, Xue Baochai, who was engaged to my sixth son in the fifth year of Tianzhi. Now she is suitable for marriage. For the sake of the beauty of a beautiful woman, the emperor and the empress dowager agreed.
, Xue Baochai is specially betrothed to the emperor's sixth son as the princess, and the wedding is scheduled to be held on the eighth day of August in the sixth year of Tianzhi! All etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor."
"Announcement at home and abroad will be heard by envoys."
"Appreciate this!"
Emperor Tianzhi also specifically approached the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the two elders for this matter. They all agreed. The Supreme Emperor didn't care much about being in the same family, and he didn't care much about this matter. The Empress Dowager didn't even care. She didn't care about Jia Yun, the grandson of the Sixth Emperor.
Not much family affection.
After hearing this imperial edict, Aunt Xue was so excited that she forgot to thank her for a moment. Jia She, who was kneeling aside, felt jealous and resentful in her heart, and for a moment she forgot to remind Aunt Xue to thank her.
Eunuch Liu coughed dryly: "Madam, take the order!"
Although Aunt Xue has no official title, she is about to become Jia Yun's mother-in-law and the princess's mother. Eunuch Liu now calls her "Mrs."
Aunt Xue came to her senses and hurriedly thanked her for accepting the order. She then generously gave a large sum of money to Eunuch Liu. Even the several eunuchs who followed Eunuch Liu each received a lot of silver rewards, which made Eunuch Liu a few
Everyone was satisfied and congratulated one after another.
After Eunuch Liu, Jia She, and Lin Zhixiao's family all left, Aunt Xue hurriedly walked into the inner room and found that Xue Baochai was crying.
"My dear daughter, this is such a happy event, why are you crying?" Aunt Xue said excitedly.
Xue Baochai was embarrassed to speak, but she was crying with joy!
For more than a year, she has been worried that this marriage will not happen in the end. Now it is better. This marriage is really going to happen. The imperial decree has been sent to her family. She, Xue Baochai, is going to marry her husband according to the decree!
