Transmigrated As My Former Uncle’s Sweetheart Chapter 243: Lao Taijun vs. Shanglong Yang
"Ji Guogong has devoted himself to the court for many years and has given a lot. His son has reached the age of marriage. The Ministry of Rites will choose a daughter from a family to marry Ji Xiu and choose a date to get married."
Long Yang's tone was cool, and he conveyed his will in an unhurried manner.
Zhao Qian was stunned, and immediately bowed to salute, "The servant is going to pass the decree."
In my heart, no matter how difficult the old matriarch and the Duke of Zhen are to deal with, they would never have imagined that they had only finished discussing before being reported to the master by Shi Shi.
It's also fortunate that the master returned to the palace today, so he arranged for Eleven to go to Zhen Guogong's mansion to protect Second Miss Lu, otherwise, it would be too late tomorrow.
When Second Miss Lu and Ji's family are engaged, no matter how much the master likes her, he might not make a move to **** the marriage.
But, is the master really not capable of robbing marriages?
Zhao Gan was a little uncertain. During this period of time, he had seen everything the master had done for Miss Lu, and he had a faint feeling that even if it was done, the master would not let go easily.
After Zhao Qian went down, Long Yang said to Eleven: "Continue to stare at Duke Zhen's mansion."
"Yes." Eleven bowed his head in response.
Long Yang then turned around and entered the bedroom.
It was already late at night, and the Ministry of Rites had already fallen asleep.
In the middle of the night, the door of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu's Mansion was smashed.
When the Minister of Rites learned that the person who came was Mr. Zhao, he didn't dare to neglect at all, and hurriedly got up from the concubine's bed.
By the time the packing was done, Zhao Gan had already been ushered into the living room.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites hurried over, and was about to ask about late-night visits, but when the emperor had some orders, Zhao Gan threw the imperial orders into his hands directly.
"Before tomorrow morning, the candidate must be drawn up, and then go directly to Ji Guogong's mansion to announce the decree."
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites opened the imperial decree and looked at it. He was a little dazed, and after hearing Zhao Gan's words, he couldn't help asking: "Don't you need to let the emperor have a look at the candidates you have chosen?"
"Your Majesty is busy with everything, so how can you have that leisure?" Zhao Gan's voice was deep, and then he said with a smile, "Your Majesty is the most at ease when Mr. Li handles affairs. As long as the person you choose is decent in character and appearance , that’s it.”
Master Li's eyes flickered when he heard the words, "I understand."
Zhao Gan patted him on the shoulder, "Then Mr. Li, let's start picking people now. At dawn tomorrow, we must go to Duke Ji's mansion to announce the decree."
"The next official will definitely handle the matter well." Master Li immediately agreed.
Although I don't know why the emperor suddenly wants to marry Ji Guogong's son, and it is so urgent, but since the emperor has an order, he just needs to do it.
However, it's really tiring in the middle of the night, alas, I can't sleep now.
The next day.
When Lu He came back from court, the old matriarch went to the palace in a carriage.
Lu Hetian went to Duke Ji's mansion.
The two split up.
The palace.
Long Yang was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, Zhao Gan came to report, and the old lady asked to see him.
Long Yang paused, he already knew the purpose of the old matriarch's entry into the palace today, but he still said: "I invite the old matriarch."
Soon, under the leadership of Zhao Gan, the old matriarch entered the imperial study.
Looking at the emperor behind the imperial table, the old matriarch stepped forward and saluted him.
"I pay my respects to the emperor!"
As she spoke, she was about to salute, but Long Yang had already stood up from behind the desk and held her arm in time.
"The old lady doesn't need to be polite!"
The old lady straightened up.
Long Yang withdrew his hand and said in a calm tone, "Please sit down, Mrs. Zhao Gan. Serve tea."
After Long Yang sat down on the chair again, the old matriarch sat down on the chair beside him.
Zhao Gan quickly served tea to the old lady.
"Thank you, the emperor, for the tea." The old matriarch said politely, took a sip from the teacup, and then looked at Long Yang, "To tell you the truth, I am entering the palace today, and I do have something to ask for."
Long Yang caressed the lines on the teacup with his fingers, and asked casually: "What's the matter, old matriarch, just tell me, if I can do it, I will do it for you."
If it wasn't because of Wei Wei's incident, the old matriarch would have been flattered to hear the emperor speak like this.
The emperor can be regarded as the one she watched growing up. He ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, and with his superb skills, the businessmen reached unprecedented prosperity.
