Chapter 209 Chapter 209 Marriage between Wen and Xin
Wen Xiaotu discovered that controlling the Sixth Palace did not seem to be a difficult task.
All kinds of palace banquets and festivals are in accordance with the "Xiao rules and Cao Sui", and they are reproduced according to Xin Ruozhi's past.
Then he reprimanded the various eunuchs who worshiped the superiors and disdained the inferiors, and warned the officials in Yongxiang not to neglect the concubines (especially the concubines who have fallen out of favor), and the past examples of deprivation should be made up for.
Many large and small orders were issued, but no one obeyed them. For a time, the six palaces were harmonious, and the noble concubine Wen Xiaotu was quite popular and prestigious.
Wen Xiaotu was puzzled, "Why didn't a thorn pop out so that I could fix it?"
The virtuous concubine Xin Ruozhi, who was having tea, almost spit out a mouthful of Biluochun. She gouged out someone who didn't know it and said, "You can even deal with the eunuchs in front of the emperor, how can there be any thorns that dare to show up?! Don't you know yourself?
How favored is your son?!"
Even the eunuchs in front of the emperor will not be rewarded if they commit a crime! Who dares to be dishonest in every department?!
Wen Xiaotu sweated. It seemed that she was indeed quite favored. She had the highest status and had children. She was simply the number one person in the harem who could not be offended.
"Okay... it's good to be honest." Wen Xiaotu smiled shyly, "It turns out that the harem is also quite easy to manage."
Xin Ruozhi: With such status, such honor, and the ability to blow your pillow, the harem is certainly easy to manage!
Xin Ruozhi couldn't help but feel envious. Could it be that stupid people have stupid blessings? After putting down the tea cup, Xin Ruozhi remembered that she had serious business here, so she straightened her clothes and showed an embarrassed smile, "Rutu,
I heard that your mother, Xu Shuren, intends to help your two younger brothers get married."
Wen Xiaotu nodded. His twin brothers Wen Chengsong and Wen Chengbai were also sixteen. Oh, by the way, because Wen Qi was promoted to the third rank, Mrs. Xu is now the third rank imperial decree, so Xin Ruozhi called it "
Xu Shuren".
Xin Ruozhi was a little embarrassed: "Um...my second uncle has a daughter who has just grown hair."
Wen Xiaotu suddenly realized that he wanted to marry her!
Hey, wait! Second Uncle Xin Ruozhi...
"The daughter of Marquis Yongding?!" She was slightly surprised. Although Wen Qi is now a first-class earl, he is still a high-ranking one. However, if we add her sister who has become a noble concubine, it seems that... it is not impossible.
!
Xin Ruozhi smiled and nodded: "She is the third daughter of my second uncle, and she is not bad in appearance. Don't worry, this child is not like me in temperament and doesn't like to wield swords and guns."
Wen Xiaotu couldn't help laughing, "I think it would be better to be like you." - heroic, lively and righteous.
Xin Ruozhi felt slightly complacent, and immediately said hurriedly: "How about I ask the Hou Mansion to bring the person into the palace some other time, and give you a look?"
This...she had no intention of making the final decision on her brother's marriage, so she said: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, as long as my mother and brother agree."
Xin Ruozhi immediately felt at ease, because her second aunt had already had personal contact with Xu Shuren, and they both had some feelings for each other.
The Xin family is a veteran martial artist with a very good family tradition. If Miss Xin San is a good girl, the Wen family will not refuse her. Wen Xiaotu feels that this marriage is inseparable.
Sure enough, within three days, Xu Shuren handed a sign to the palace to say hello.
The reason for coming was obvious. In addition to visiting her grandson, granddaughter and daughter, it was also about the marriage of the Songbai brothers. Xu Shuren was extremely satisfied with the third lady of the Yongding Marquis Mansion. Her old face turned red and she couldn't stop praising her.
Wen Xiaotu was half-hearted, "Does the fourth brother like it too?" - at least he asked the person involved for his opinion.
Xu Shuren said with a smile: "Song'er has always been filial and sensible, and he has no objection to this."
Wen Xiaotu secretly thought that in ancient times, people did not expect to commit to each other before getting married. However, if both parties knew each other's appearance, temperament, and family background, and they were both willing, it was considered a good marriage.
"I entered the palace this time mainly because I was thinking that after all, this is a girl who is a direct descendant of the Hou Mansion and the sister of a good concubine. It would be perfect if I could ask for a betrothal marriage." Xu Shuren said uneasily, "I don't know.
Will it be too difficult for you?"
Wen Xiaotu smiled: "Don't worry, mother, I'll just go and ask the emperor for a marriage." - The emperor shouldn't disagree, right?
Although the Xin family is from a martial arts clan, they no longer have military power. Marrying with such a powerful person should not touch the emperor's bottom line. There is nothing wrong with this marriage, otherwise Wen Qi would not agree.
Wen Xiaotu nodded, "Mom, just wait for my good news."
Xu Shuren breathed a sigh of relief and said, "My mother also thought that if she could get married in an honorable manner, Tu Tu would be in the harem and she and the Concubine Xian would be a family, and they would be able to help each other in the future."
Wen Xiaotu was startled, half of this marriage was for her...
She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Her fourth brother had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child.
"Mother, what about the fifth brother's marriage?" Thinking of this young brother in the original owner's memory, Wen Xiaotu's forehead suddenly jumped wildly. Compared with the well-behaved and sensible Cheng Song, Cheng Bai is just a scumbag!
Mentioning the youngest son, Xu Shuren also had a headache, "Please wait a little longer, his temperament has not yet stabilized!"
It was not yet noon when Xu Shuren was sent away.
Although the Wen family was now prosperous, Xu Shuren was still very cautious and did not dare to stay in the palace for a long time. When she left, she was inevitably given a pair of silk, satin and pearls by the daughter of the imperial concubine, and she returned home filled with both uneasiness and happiness.
Wen Xiaotu was not one to procrastinate. After taking a nap at noon, he asked the small kitchen to make a few plates of exquisite snacks and a cup of moistening white fungus and snow pear soup before heading to Qian'an Palace.
Emperor Mingzhao had just come out of the gym. He was sweating all over. He drank a cup of warm snow pear soup and suddenly felt much more comfortable.
Before Wen Xiaotu could speak, Ming Zhao asked lightly: "I heard that Concubine Xian wants to marry you."
Wen Xiaotu complained: You keep a close eye on the harem!
Wen Xiaotu nodded and said: "She is the third girl from the Yongding Marquis Mansion. My concubine's mother feels very good about her. She specially came to the palace today because she hopes that I can propose a marriage to the emperor."
Seeing that the emperor's face was uncertain, Wen Xiaotu hurriedly said: "If the emperor feels that it is inappropriate, I will ask my mother to decline the marriage." - The matter has not been made clear, and it is really not possible, so we have to settle down separately.
Anyway, women don’t have to worry about getting married, and men don’t have to worry about getting married. If they don’t know each other well, it’s not like they’re fighting against each other.
Ming Zhao raised his hand and said, "That's not what I meant."
Wen Xiaotu cursed: What do you mean?
Ming Zhao sighed, "That's all, if you like it, it's not impossible for the Xin family to do it. You just have to study your character and morality." So as not to act like a virtuous concubine and be disliked all day long.
Wen Xiaotu understood what the emperor meant and said with a smile: "I heard that Miss Xin San is gentle and quiet, and her temperament is very different from that of the Concubine Xian."
After hearing this, Mingzhao's face became better, "That's not bad."
Wen Xiaotu’s black line: It’s just a piece of cake! Is the Wen family trying to get this marriage under control?
"So, the emperor has agreed to the marriage?" Wen Xiaotu hurriedly hit the snake and followed it with a stick.
Ming Zhao sighed, "I'll ask Xuanyi Wei to check it out. If it's true, I'll issue a decree to grant a marriage."
Wen Xiaotu felt that Xin Ruozhi would not trick her, so the marriage was appropriate.
