18.Chapter 18 Imperial decree to marry the prince?
Yushi was startled: "Could it be an earthquake?"
She was born in the south, and she knew about occasional earthquakes in the mountainous areas. However, the empire was located in the northern plains, so the possibility of earthquakes was extremely slim, which made her a little strange.
Hai Qing hesitated and said: "It's not like that. Everything else is fine. Madam, don't worry."
So he nodded: "That's good."
Then he looked at An Xici and said softly: "Go back to bed quickly, it's still early."
An Xijie responded and hurried back. She didn't want anyone to notice anything if she stayed too long.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Yu took An Xibi to the Wutong Courtyard to pay her respects to the old lady as usual. Although Mrs. Lin was still cold and indifferent towards Mrs. Lin, she was extremely kind to An Xibi and appreciated her.
got something.
This made An Xici and Yu Shi feel a little suspicious.
An Xijie is not stupid. After Hai Lan briefly talked about the situation in the mansion, she analyzed the position of their Zihua Courtyard in the entire Hou's mansion. This old lady never cared about them before, and even felt a little disgusted with them, but now she suddenly saw this
Well, if you show your courtesy for nothing, you will be either an adulterer or a thief.
Mrs. Yu was also worried in her heart. The purpose of bringing An Xibi here to pay her respects was to tell everyone that she would always be the wife of the Marquis in this mansion, so that they would not neglect An Xibi, a legitimate young lady. In addition,
After all, she had no acquaintances in the imperial city. Asking the old lady or Princess Yuanrou to come forward to give An Xibi a hairpin gift would also allow An Xibi to show her face in front of the ladies from those aristocratic families, so that she could talk about the marriage.
.But the old lady’s enthusiasm always gave her a bad feeling.
But no matter how they guessed, Lin didn't reveal anything, and made everyone think that An Xixi was going to be favored.
An Jingcheng went to Lin's place after coming back from the next court. This time he didn't meet Yu and An Xibi. He thought about it all day yesterday, but he still felt that something was wrong. He was at odds with Yu and his wife, but he
An Jingcheng has always been a man of iron bones. He has never thought about participating in the struggle for the throne among several princes. He, An Jingcheng, is loyal to the emperor. Although the emperor is older and confused now,
But he will not be indifferent to right from wrong. He has not yet reached the point where he wants to sell his daughter to obtain the wealth and glory of the family. What's more, this is his only legitimate daughter and the only daughter of the Yu family. No matter who of them is right or wrong in these years, what happened back then?
He made her travel thousands of miles away to marry here, and she felt guilty after all.
So what Lin told him yesterday, he came over today and explained it clearly to Lin. Unexpectedly, Lin just smiled and didn't say anything.
In the evening, an imperial edict suddenly came from the palace, which completely stunned the few people who had been wondering what Lin was thinking.
"By God, the emperor decrees that An Xishu, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Jingguo, is dignified in appearance, gentle, courteous, and virtuous... and canonize her as the crown prince and concubine. They will marry on a certain day. I hereby express my gratitude." The eunuch's loud and high-pitched voice announced the edict, which resounded throughout the Marquis Mansion.
In the main hall, the imperial edict came too suddenly, and An Jingcheng's expression became a little stiff after receiving it.
There was an uproar throughout the Hou Mansion.
Only then did An Jingcheng realize that even he himself had been tricked by the old lady. She had clearly sent someone to deliver the news to Concubine Xian before telling him her plan, and Concubine Xian was worrying these days.
, the old lady happened to pass the pillow to her when she was dozing off. Of course, the Xian Concubine did not waste a moment and turned the emperor's ear. Everyone knows that the Crown Princess is just a nice person to listen to, how can she be?
God, it’s hard to say. The emperor is also worried about finding someone suitable to suppress the situation. Concubine Xian just suggested it, and he immediately agreed. Not to mention that the girl from Jingguo Houfu has already recovered, even if she is still stupid,
Concubine Xian proposed it at the right time, and the emperor would definitely agree.
