The emperor's imperial decree soon reached the fateful woman.
At this time, the palace performance also happened to end. After the imperial edict was read out, the whole place fell silent.
Their official status was taken away, and they were also fined with copying Buddhist scriptures and being grounded... If they were Mrs. Xi, they would not have the shame to appear in front of others. As for Xi Mubai's punishment, it was a bit more severe than they imagined. They originally wanted to beat them five times
The ten army sticks are almost there, but I didn't expect that Zhao Xiuxiu and Xi Mubai actually got married, and the imperial edict... clearly told Xi Mubai not to think about taking concubines in the future. This was like a slap in the face to Xi Mubai several times.
hand.
Looking at the large boxes of rewards that were delivered to Su Yueling and Yuan Baoshu, they felt sad.
The Queen Mother was still there comforting Su Yueling, "You and Baoshu are frightened this time. Take these things home to calm down the shock."
She also ordered people to open her warehouse and personally selected a few things to make up for it.
Su Yueling felt that if things continued like this, the good things the Queen Mother had here would sooner or later be moved to her place.
The things given by the royal family are basically the best. Su Yueling is not short of good things now, but Baoshu can choose some that she likes and put the rest in the warehouse when the time comes.
Su Yueling was more concerned about another thing than these - she still remembered that Yuan Suijun mentioned to her earlier that the emperor was planning to announce his identity at the New Year's banquet. It turned out that she had been waiting for a long time.
, I didn’t even see it, maybe I changed my mind?
And this doubt, when she returned home from the New Year banquet, Yuan Suijun personally answered it for her.
"Conning a county king?" Your Majesty is planning to announce his identity and canonize a county king? Speaking of which, if you want to canonize a county king, you must first have the Ministry of Rites prepare the canonization ceremony and the prince's attire... Before the last moment, the emperor will definitely
It will not be announced that this county prince is for Yuan Suijun. I am afraid that the capital will be busy again during this period.
Yuan Suijun nodded, "Your Majesty has this idea."
Su Yueling thought for a while, they had a princess and a prince...well, their family status was indeed not low, there were few in the capital who could compare with them.
From now on, Baoshu will not only be the princess' sister-in-law, but also the princess' sister.
Su Yueling quite liked Baoshu. Baoshu had been out in public doing business before, and some families were jealous of her earning power while slandering her behavior. There were also some unpleasant remarks in private, which were nothing more than talking about her.
It would be unseemly to do business in person and focus on making money. Of course, these people would not dare to chatter in front of Su Yueling, but occasionally their comments would reach her ears through other channels.
Su Yueling was thinking that if she came up with something good next time, she would see if she could give Baoshu another favor - for example, conferring Baoshu a title, or at least get a village monarch, and then let those people salute Baoshu. She liked those things.
People can't stand the way they look and have to please them.
But when Baoshu gets the title, the pressure will come to Suifeng - if he fails to become a martial arts examiner this year, he will be the only white one in the family.
Su Yueling imagined Alexander's expression on Yuan Suifeng's face and felt very excited.
Of course, a man must be allowed to go on his own. The most she can do is contribute her sword.
She took a look at the rewards in the palace this time, selected a few treasures from them, and let Baoshu choose the rest.
Baoshu basically chooses jewelry. The jewelry styles in the palace are always the most exquisite, which just makes up for her shortcomings in this aspect and saves her from having to make extra customizations. She doesn't mind that these styles are not trendy enough, as long as they look good.
In stark contrast to the joy of the Yuan family, the Xi family could be said to be gloomy and gloomy after receiving the two imperial edicts.
Especially Madam Xi, she fainted on the spot and was unwilling to accept this fact.
Xi Muqing directly ordered someone to make a bed in the Buddhist hall and carry Mrs. Xi in.
In the next year, Mrs. Xi will never leave this Buddhist hall, so she will just copy scriptures there.
As for Xi Mubai, he was beaten with a solid fifty army stick and when he was carried home, his buttocks were stained with blood. Although Xi Muqing hated him for causing such trouble to the family, he still went to call a doctor for him. However,
That night, Xi Mubai still developed a high fever. This illness troubled him for several days, and his face became thinner.
After he recovered from his illness, he personally wrote a letter to his sister, hoping that his sister and brother-in-law would intercede for him. He really did not want to marry Zhao Xiuxiu, a palace maid.
Their parents died young, and their eldest sister is like their mother. The elder sister has always loved him the most, and she will definitely not watch a palace maid become the young mistress of the Xi family.
…
Because Xi Mubai's servant was traveling day and night, this letter was delivered to Princess Zhen Xi Miao on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. The fiefdom where Prince Zhen's Mansion is located is not far from the capital.
This was the first time in the past few years that her brother had written to her, and Xi Miao couldn't help but be a little curious.
Could it be that what you asked your brother to do some time ago has been successful?
Princess Zhen wrote letters to her grandmother and younger brother at that time, asking them to win over the Yuan family so that they could speak kindly to Prince Zhen's palace in the ears of the emperor.
No matter the eldest son or the youngest son, they are both her sweethearts, but there is only one title.
Just when she opened the letter and read the contents at a glance, the smile on Princess Zhen's face disappeared little by little. The news above could be said to be a bolt from the blue.
My grandmother's imperial edict was taken away, and my younger brother was forced to marry a palace maid...
The Xi family's face was thrown to the ground and stepped on several times.
Isn't it true that the Yuan family has done too much? The Xi family has not yet disliked the Yuan family's lack of background, but the Yuan family dared to dislike them. Mu Bai fell in love with Yuan Baoshu, which was her blessing.
And isn't Yuan Baoshu okay? Obviously they can turn a big deal into a trivial matter, but the Yuan family insists on making this matter a big deal, even to the point that even at her age, her grandmother still has to suffer this humiliation.
And my cousin, he actually allowed the Yuan family to bully him and had no intention of seeking justice for his grandmother and Mu Bai. He was so callous and selfish.
At the beginning, my grandmother wanted their second wife to inherit the title. If her father had not passed away early, the title would not have been passed to the first wife. Their first wife did not want to be grateful, but instead always held a grudge about it.
The more Princess Zhen Xi Miao thought about it, the angrier she became, her peach blossom eyes filled with tears.
No, she said she couldn't have a sister-in-law who was a palace maid. Even the concubine in the palace was not so shabby.
The prince must come forward to intercede.
The prince had also helped the emperor back then. If the prince had been willing to come forward, the emperor might have taken back his life.
Xi Miao suddenly stood up and put on her gorgeous clothes. She should be wearing a simple and elegant moon-white skirt. She took off all the hairpins on her head, leaving only a silk flower.
She also made a plum blossom soup that the prince liked, and took the soup to the study in person.
