Chapter seven hundred and seventieth changed people
Although the girl in the same attire next to her sounded surprised, her expression was not like that, but showed a hint of pride.
"Sister has always been better informed than me. You must have gotten the news a long time ago, right? I don't know which family the imperial edict will direct us three girls to."
"Some time ago, you didn't know about our eldest lady's attitude? Isn't that the same one? Our third girl has climbed onto a high branch. I haven't seen those old mothers in the house being very polite to the third girl in the past two days.
?"
"Really? The third girl has finally come to the end of her hardships. Those people who were disrespectful to the third girl before must be filled with regrets. Before, when they saw that the third girl had no one to support them, they could toss it with all their strength. Now look at how arrogant they are.
."
"That's right, it doesn't matter what the third girl's status is. Even if she is not favored, she is still the eldest daughter-in-law!"
"However, I heard that there is more than one imperial decree today! That one is getting married together with his concubine. The wedding date is probably within a few days."
"I would also like to invite my father-in-law to come in and take a rest and drink a cup of hot tea."
After Yao Qinglan introduced Xiao Quanzi into the flower hall, he quickly sent a servant to ask if the incense table was ready.
Yao Qinglan's mood was a little complicated at the moment. He glanced at the tray held by the waiter behind Xiao Quanzi, and found that there were two imperial edicts on it.
He really couldn't figure out why there were two imperial edicts.
"Your Majesty, you are very polite. It is our family's great honor to have the honor to come to the palace to read out the imperial edict according to the emperor's order."
Xiao Quanzi smiled with his eyebrows wide open, as if there was some big happy event.
Isn't it a big happy event? This is a gift of marriage!
"Please remind me, Mr. Quan, why are these two imperial edicts?" Yao Qinglan was extremely polite and handed over a red envelope.
"We've all arrived at the house, won't the answer be revealed soon? Your Majesty is also a little impatient, so we'll let you know. It's a happy event anyway, so please feel free to worry, Your Majesty."
Naturally, it was impossible for Xiao Quanzi to be completely unaware of Prince Jing's selection of his concubine.
The candidate for the main concubine mentioned before was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, but now it is a girl who is still a side concubine. I don't know how Yao Qinglan will react after hearing the imperial edict.
Don't give away the money that comes to your door. Besides, after the decree is announced, it is common sense to give a red envelope to such a happy event. You will have to give it sooner or later anyway.
"Your Majesty, our family has to rush to other residences later, shall we start now?"
Yao Qinglan always felt that the Quan's father-in-law's smile was a little meaningful. He quickly stood up and said: "Then please ask the Quan's father-in-law to move to the front yard. The house is already ready."
Although according to his rank and hereditary title, the rank of the chamberlain in front of him was very low, so he did not need to be so polite.
But they officials all know that those eunuchs who serve the emperor must not be offended.
Otherwise, they will look for opportunities to give you eye drops and play dirty tricks in front of the emperor, and they will be implicated in this without even knowing it!
Yao Mengxian knelt down on the ground along with everyone in the house. Looking at the crowd of kneeling people below, Xiao Quanzi nodded with satisfaction.
Then he cleared his throat and began to read the imperial edict.
He took out the first portion from the tray behind him. The appearance of this portion was different from the one at the back.
First of all, the scroll of this imperial edict contains black rhinoceros horns. In the Dayan Dynasty, only second-level imperial edicts contained black rhinoceros horns.
Thinking of the happy event that Quan's father-in-law just mentioned, Yao Qinglan, who was kneeling behind the old father-in-law, did not feel any joy, but suddenly felt cold all over.
The old Duke was a man of spirit, and as soon as he saw the imperial edict, he felt that today might not go as they wished.
Could it be that they, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, could only become Prince Jing’s concubine?
Wouldn't that make people laugh? Where would they put the face of their government?
The main concubine is the first grade, and only the side concubine is the second grade. The old prince endured his anger, hunched over, and listened to the high-pitched voice coming from above.
"By God's blessing, the emperor said: I heard that the eldest daughter of Yao Qingcheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, Yao Shi Menglian, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I and the queen are very pleased to hear about it. Today, the fourth son of the emperor, Prince Jing Zhao Yu, has passed the weak crown.
When Yao Menglian is waiting in the boudoir, she and Prince Jing are a perfect match. In order to become a beautiful woman, Yao Menglian is specially betrothed to Prince Jing as his concubine. All the etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed at the right time.
.Announcement at home and abroad, the envoys of Xian heard it and admired it!"
Yao Mengxian quickly glanced at Yao Menglian who was kneeling beside her. She was really surprised by this imperial edict. She didn't expect that the emperor would appoint his second sister as the concubine of Prince Jing.
Old Guo Gong and Yao Qinglan were also a little confused. Didn't they say that they would marry the third girl to Prince Jing? How did she become the second girl? Or a concubine?
To say that with the identity of the second girl, becoming a side concubine is considered a high achievement. After all, the second wife Yao Qingcheng only has an official position as a doctor in the Ministry of Justice.
Oh! No, Yao Qingcheng has just been transferred to the position of Doctor of the Ministry of Finance. After all, the crown prince Yao Qinglan was transferred to the Ministry of Punishment just this year and became the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
Then Yao Qingcheng could no longer stay in the Ministry of Justice and had to make way for his eldest brother.
I originally thought that there was no suitable seat and I might be let out. For this reason, Yao Qingcheng made several troubles in the mansion, but who knew that some time ago, there was a vacancy in the household department.
Yao Qingcheng was transferred immediately, and at least he stayed in the capital.
It turns out that this must be related to the marriage grant, otherwise Yao Qingcheng would really be in doubt about whether to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. After all, there are countless officials waiting for vacancies every year!
Yao Qingcheng looked happy. He didn't expect the pie to hit their second room.
Although I am confused about this, and I don’t know why the candidate suddenly changed, but the result is good.
But Yao Menglian's face turned pale, and she glanced at Yao Mengxian beside her in disbelief.
No! Wasn't the third sister given to Prince Jing? How could it be replaced by her?
She had long heard that Prince Jing was not in good health, and he was afraid that he would not live long. Should he let her get married and become a widow in the future?
A jade-like and gentle face suddenly appeared in her mind, and her heart tingled.
This damn gift of marriage, why is it her? As long as she waits a little longer, she will have the opportunity in a short while, so why are there so many complications?
Could it be that the third sister did something bad in front of her grandfather and uncle and changed the candidate to her?
Yao Menglian gritted her teeth, her lowered eyes full of hatred. She didn't care about Lao Shizi's concubine at all.
"Congratulations to Mr. Yao Er, this is the concubine who has been awarded the Royal Jade Certificate. It was ordered by Prince Jing himself!"
Seeing Yao Qingcheng's expression of joy, Xiao Quanzi also smiled and congratulated him, which was a coincidence.
Unexpectedly, except for Yao Qingcheng, everyone else had different expressions.
Ke Shi almost became angry. She didn't expect that after working for so long, this benefit would go to the second room, and the chamberlain actually said that Prince Jing chose it himself.
