The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 406: Marry Xiao Xiao
Chapter Four Hundred and Sixth Chapter Marry Xiao Xiao
The empress dowager felt a little sour when she heard this. In fact, what she said was nothing more than a guarantee from her, because the old man was coming back soon.
However, she deliberately avoided it, which was contrary to what she had said before, and she had never fought for anything.
After dressing up, the empress dowager sent Eunuch Sun, "Is the will ready?"
Eunuch Sun lowered his head, "If you return to the Empress Dowager, it's ready."
The Empress Dowager said: "You can read it to Ai Jia once."
Eunuch Sun froze for a moment, "Now read it?"
"Yes, read it." The Queen Mother said.
Eunuch Sun replied: "Yes, then the servant will go to get the will, and you will put the treasure seal on yourself."
Eunuch Sun turned around, and just after receiving the will, he heard a voice from outside the door, "The regent is here."
The Empress Dowager was slightly startled, "Isn't it early morning? Why did you come here?"
Murong Jie walked in with a smile, his smile subsided when he touched the imperial concubine, "Empress mother, my son is here to take your order."
"Oh," the Empress Dowager was stunned, "it is now? Don't you have to discuss politics first?"
"Let's issue the decree first. After the decree is issued, the people below can do things better. After all, the time is in a hurry, so it only takes a day and a half to prepare."
The empress dowager made sense when she thought about it, so she said to Eunuch Sun: "Take the treasure seal of Ai's family."
Eunuch Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took the seal.
The empress dowager put down the treasure seal and was about to take a look, but Murong Jie quickly stepped up and took the order, "The ministers are all waiting for the son, and the son will come back."
The Empress Dowager said: "Since the decree is issued first, Aijia will go with you."
Murong Jie said: "Alright, let's go."
The Empress Dowager turned back and invited the noble concubine, "You should go too."
The imperial concubine looked indifferent, "My sister will not go."
"Go, go, Zhuangzhuang is also your sister-in-law, you should go." The empress dowager asked her to go, because she wanted to let her participate in the royal affairs, so that she had a sense of belonging, don't always think that she is outsider.
Eunuch Sun gave Murong Jie a worried look, but Murong Jie didn't show him, as if he didn't know the content of the will had changed.
Liang Shulin is the commander of the East Palace, so naturally he can't attend the morning court, but he also patrolled in front of the palace for an excuse, just waiting for the decree to be issued.
Master Liang knew yesterday that the Empress Dowager would appoint Liang Shulin as her concubine, and he was looking forward to it. Last night, he deliberately made a friendly gesture with Liang Shulin. Liang Shulin's attitude was very good, which made the master very satisfied.
Marquis Xiao naturally knew that Zhuang Zhuang and Liang Shulin's marriage decree would be announced in the early morning.
Since you have chosen, you must bear all the consequences.
No one knows how much he likes the eldest princess, such a wise and intelligent woman, if she can marry Xiao Xiao, it is indeed a blessing for the Xiao family.
God will make people, even if they die in love, they can't get together.
This is the cruelest.
He is ashamed of Xiao Xiao. Over the years, Xiao Xiao has made great achievements and established the position of the Xiao family. The Xiao family is majestic under his military exploits.
"The empress dowager is here, the concubine is here, the prince regent is here!" the **** in front of the hall shouted loudly.
The bell and drum of the early morning sounded, and the sound shook the capital.
The officials knelt down and called the Empress Dowager Chitose three times.
As for the Prince Regent, although he is temporarily acting as the emperor, the officials do not need to kneel when they go to court, they just bow and bow.
After the ceremony, Murong Jie sat on the dragon chair and looked around at everyone. When he was not smiling, he was very serious and stern, and his eyes were very sharp, so basically no one dared to touch him directly. sight.
"The Empress Dowager has a decree to be promulgated before the DPRK is discussing politics early today, so you should put aside the matter you plan to submit and listen to the will of the Empress Dowager."
The empress dowager looked at the civil and military officials with a majestic expression, "I think everyone knows that the princess has passed the marriageable age, and the marriage must be hurry up, so although she is now ill, Ai Jia feels that she should also find help for her. A concubine, with the help of her husband, maybe the princess can survive this disaster."
A minister comforted: "The queen mother relaxes, the princess will be lucky."
"Yes, with the wishes of your lords, she will get better." The Queen Mother said.
She pressed her hand down and wanted Eunuch Sun to enter the hall to announce the decree, but Murong Jie took the lead and said, "This will, let the supervisor of the ceremonies read it out!"
The Empress Dowager nodded, "That's right, this is the main hall, so let the Sili Jian announce it."
Emperor Li came in with the decree, and read it out in public, "Emperor Hui has a daughter, the eldest princess of Zhenguo is Murong Zhuangzhuang, she is beautiful and wise, gentle and honest, with outstanding appearance, and her old body knows..."
After reading this, Eunuch Li paused for a while, then looked back at the Empress Dowager with a hesitant expression.
The Empress Dowager said displeasedly: "Quickly announce!"
Eunuch Li responded, "Yes!"
He continued to read, "I hereby hear that the eldest grandson of the Marquis Xiao and the emperor personally conferred the great general Xiao Xiao of the Zhou Dynasty. Xiao Xiao has excellent martial skills, both civil and military, and he is a childhood sweetheart with the princess. The old man and the regent are very happy to hear it, and he is specially named as Concubine, the big wedding ceremony will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Palace!"
When this will was read out to General Xiao Xiao, the Queen Mother knew that something was wrong, but she couldn't stop Eunuch Li from reading it.
Because before the reading, everyone knew that Liang Shulin was chosen as the concubine.
You Qi Concubine, she immediately looked at the Empress Dowager and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? Isn't it Liang Shulin?"
The empress dowager's face was a little ugly, but she couldn't explain it. She just looked at Lord Xiao and said, "Is the Lord Marquis still not accepting the order?"
Master Xiao hesitated for a while, then walked out and knelt down with a pale face, "The old minister accepts the order, and the old minister kowtows to thank the emperor."
Mr. Liang's eyes were cold, and he sneered from the bottom of his heart. Let's see what tricks they play.
Liang Shulin also heard the reading outside the hall. He didn't expect it to be like this, why is it Xiao Xiao? But didn't the queen mother say yesterday that he is the candidate for the concubine?
How come one night has passed and everything has changed?
King Lao Xian came out, "The Queen Mother, Xiao Xiao already has a wife, how can she marry the princess?"
"Uncle Huang," Murong Jie said, "Han Qingqiu is dead."
"Dead, she is Xiao Xiao's wife, and she has to be ahead of the princess on the tablet, which is inconsistent with respect." Lao Xian Wang said.
Zhuang Zhuang is the cousin of King Lao Xian. As a royal person, he naturally does not want the honorable Princess Zhenguo to be subordinated to other women after her death, and she respectfully calls other women a sister.
Murong Jie said with a smile: "Uncle, don't worry, Han Qingqiu was divorced by Xiao Xiao long ago."
He looked at Lord Xiao, "Really? Lord Hou?"
The hand of Lord Xiao holding the will trembled a little, "Yes, Xiao Xiao has divorced Han Qingqiu, they are not husband and wife, but he has not made this public in order not to be convicted by the empress dowager."
"This is a strange thing, why did Xiao Xiao divorce his wife? Where is the divorce book?" Lao Xian Wang asked.
Only then did Murong Jie let Eunuch Sun in, took out the letter of divorce, and handed it to King Lao Xian, "On the night of the marriage, Xiao Xiao had already divorced Han Qingqiu, Xiao Xiao did not intend to disobey the decree, but was on the wedding day. That night, when I heard Han Qingqiu and the girl talking about the case of the princess getting close to Yaozhi, Xiao Xiao vaguely heard Han Qingqiu say that she killed Yaozhi. Xiao Xiao was unwilling to share the bed with a murderer, but he suffered from no evidence against Han. Qingqiu, he later went on an expedition, and asked this king to investigate the murder of Yao Zhi on his behalf. This king was young at the time and did not take it to heart. It was only in the past few months that this king ordered people to re-investigate and brought evidence to ask questions. Han Qingqiu, Han Qingqiu knew that his crimes would be exposed sooner or later, so he panicked and finally committed suicide."
