Therefore, not long after the morning court, everyone in the capital knew that within an hour, Duke Dingguo's palace had received three orders from the palace. Two of them were from the Holy One.
The first edict was to take back the title of Song Xian, Duke of Dingguo. The second edict was to grant the title of earl to Prince Dingguo because of his talent and conscientiousness in all his duties. This is
The eldest son of Duke Dingguo actually changed his identity and became Lord Song.
As for the third decree, it was the decree from Concubine Hua, and it was the decree for the marriage between Lord Song's biological sister and Li Bing.
As soon as the three decrees came out, some of the dignitaries in the capital couldn't sit still!
What does the emperor mean by this? Demogate first and then grant the title! However, the person who was granted the title became the heir apparent of Duke Dingguo, not Duke Dingguo.
And in Duke Dingguo's mansion, it is even more lively now!
Song Wan'er's eldest brother, Song Chang, suddenly lost his status as prince and became an earl instead! The Duke's Palace was also changed to an Earl's Palace.
Duke Dingguo suddenly seemed to have aged more than ten years! Without any warning, his title was gone! Not only that, the emperor actually said when he could reunite his family and when he would be reinstated.
Bar!
What does this mean? He is not stupid. He knows that the emperor is very disappointed in him because of the previous affairs about his beloved concubine and his wife, and Song Qiao.
Without the status of Duke Dingguo, he is still an official of the second rank. Although the emperor did not give an order and directly deprived him of his official position, this holy intention is already very obvious! What is the Qi family?
What is lax governance?
He locked himself in the study alone and disappeared no matter who he called! Mrs. Song, on the other hand, did not have any overly excited emotions. As far as she was concerned, no matter whether her husband was Duke Dingguo or not, she was just a person who did not want to please him.
What's the difference between the wives you like? However, after learning that her eldest son was actually given the title of earl, Mrs. Song still felt very relieved.
This door plaque has just been taken off, and of course the new door plaque has not been hung up yet. After all, the decree to confer the title of earl has just come down, so the action is naturally not so fast. In the front hall, Song Wan'er's brother Song Chang is talking with Mrs. Cheng and others
They looked at each other, no one knew how to persuade Duke Dingguo.
"Master, someone from General Weiyuan's Mansion has arrived. They are waiting outside." The butler came in and reported that Song Chang was no longer the Crown Prince, so the title was naturally changed. However, the master was in a bad mood now, and no one dared to do so.
At this time, I got into trouble with the master, so I changed my name to young master.
"Please come in quickly."
The person who came was Li Bing's attendant. He bowed and said respectfully, "My young master told me that since the decree of marriage has come down, the marriage should be done as soon as possible. The young master asked his subordinates to come and ask.
Miss Song, would you be satisfied if you got married with Prince Rui next month? The wedding is scheduled to be after Prince Rui, so it will also be a blessing for Prince Rui and Princess Qingle!"
Song Wan'er's face turned red and she looked at her mother beside her.
"That's fine. Just follow General Li in everything," Mrs. Cheng replied.
"Yes, madam. In addition, the young master ordered his subordinates to come over and bring you a message, saying that it is a matter of concubine, so it can be waived. Even Prince Rui's Mansion refuses to accept concubines, so he is following the example of Prince Rui.
Yes. Please make arrangements, Madam."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the hall were a little happy! Especially Song Wan'er, the word "happiness" was written all over her eyebrows!
Song Chang nodded, which brother would want his sister to choose a concubine for him before she got married? This is obviously a knife to stab their hearts!
When the words were brought, Song Chang rewarded him, and the entire Earl's Mansion finally became a little more alive after the previous gloom caused by the emperor's imperial edict.
Of course, those who are not happy include Duke Dingguo, his beloved concubine, and Song Qiao!
Now that I can no longer call Dingguo Gong, Song Xian is in the study. It is a regret! Think about the doting on my concubine and the neglect of my wife in the past ten years, what have I done? Will a
The concubine is always at the forefront of my heart, but what about my own biological daughter? Apart from hatred for me, I’m afraid she won’t have any other feelings for her, right?
songs
In my own hands! How will I be able to meet my ancestors underground in the future?
Troubles are troubles, and life has to go on! Commit suicide? No! Wouldn’t that be contrary to the holy will? Isn’t it clearly telling the world that I am dissatisfied with the emperor’s treatment? In this way, I am afraid that I will not
But if you can't protect your loved ones, you may kill the three clans!
Finally, in the evening, Song Xian issued an order in his study, instructing the housekeeper to send the concubine and Song Qiao to the family temple. He also stated that as long as he was alive, the two of them would not step out of the family temple.
, Otherwise, we will be expelled from the Song family immediately!
Such an order naturally spread throughout the mansion very quickly. Not only the Song Mansion, but also Su Xiyue also received the news.
The one who brought her this news was King Rui.
"Your Majesty, you are too harsh, aren't you? Aren't you afraid that Mr. Song will lose his mind for a while and commit suicide again?"
King Rui's face seemed a little tired, he shook his head and said, "No! He doesn't have the courage! Don't worry."
"How can the prince be so sure?"
"He has already lost the title of princess. Is it possible that the whole family will lose their lives with him?"
Su Xiyue thought for a moment and understood, and sighed softly, "The emperor is indeed the emperor. I'm afraid he has already thought about taking away his title? It's just that there has never been a suitable excuse to touch him. This time,
Song Qiao's matter is the most important factor."
"Otherwise, how could you think that this king would be interested in a Song Qiao? If there are no benefits, why would this king directly destroy the noble girl he has managed to cultivate over the past two years?"
"First he was lifted up to the sky, and then he stepped into the bottom of the valley. The prince's heart is really unusually cruel!" Su Xiyue's voice sounded a little cool, but there was no trace of sadness or fear.
"I understand now. It turns out that the prince had planned it for a long time. I thought I ruined your big deal. Now it seems that I was also deceived by you."
Prince Rui said with a cold eyebrow, "I said I would not lie to you, so of course I won't! Regarding Song Qiao's matter, I probably guessed the holy intention, so that's why I did it. This is just right! Duke Dingguo's mansion has been in decline, so now
Now that my son is gone, I can take this opportunity to clean up some important positions."
Su Xiyue immediately understood that if Song Xian's title was gone, then even if his official position would not be demoted, he would definitely be assigned to some idle positions. As a result, some officials who were originally attached to him would probably be replaced.
