The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 158: Ximen Xiaoyue
Chapter 158 Simon Xiaoyue
Murong Jie looked at Aunt Sizhu's desperate face, and suddenly panicked, "Someone!"
"Yes!" The guard came out from behind him.
"Keep an eye on the noble concubine, if there is anything unusual, report it to this king immediately." Murong Jie ordered.
"Yes!" The guard led the way.
The evening of the second day of August.
Tomorrow is the big day when Xia Huaijun, the prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will marry Ximen Xiaoyue, the granddaughter of the Duke of Jin.
Dazhou's law "Zhou Law. Household Law. Marriage Gate" stipulates that Dazhou men can only marry one wife, and although equal wives are called wives, they are in the same position as concubines.
So, the so-called flat wife is just a name that people respect for another house, but in the law, it is still a concubine.
Therefore, in general, there must be some rules for marrying a flat wife, which are different from those of a bright match. First of all, don't wear bright red wedding clothes, you need to use pink or other colors similar to red. Second, the sedan chair should not be parked at the main entrance. It must be greeted at the side door. The main door can also be used. Third, because there is no saying that they are not directly related, the flat wife still has to offer tea to the main room before the ceremony can be done.
However, on the first day of the eighth lunar month, Ximen Xiaoyue was named a first-class lady by the Empress Dowager. Because of her title, she proposed that on the day of the wedding, she must enter through the gate and follow the formalities of the marriage. Red carpets and long guns, not short guns, after the bride enters the mansion.
In addition, she will wear a red phoenix crown and a robe, and sit in a sedan chair carried by eight people.
Furthermore, she said that the Yuan family was not allowed to be in the mansion on the wedding day because of the conflicting zodiac signs. The eldest miss of the prime minister's residence, the second miss, must kneel down and serve tea to her in front of the guests, respecting her as a mother.
In other words, she wants to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion as the Prime Minister's wife.
Xia Wan'er let it go, because she is a concubine, serving tea to his flat wife, and respecting her as a mother, it is not an exaggeration.
But Xia Zian is the eldest daughter, her mother is the wife of the prime minister of the prime minister's house, and she is the mistress of the house. According to the etiquette, she does not need to kowtow to the flat wife for tea, and she does not need to respect her as a mother, because the elder The status of a woman is higher than that of all concubines, including the flat wives recognized by the people.
There is one more thing, Ximen Xiaoyue ordered people to see the location of the Xiangfu, and felt that it would be better for her to live in Xiazhiyuan, but because Xiazhiyuan is relatively simple now, after her marriage, she will temporarily live in the place before Mrs. Linglong. The yard, but requested to change its name to "Wangyue Pavilion". After the Xiazhiyuan is renovated, it will be moved to the Xiazhiyuan, and the plaque of the Wangyue Pavilion will also replace the Xiazhiyuan.
With the title in hand, everything stipulated by the law can be considered.
It all depends on whether the Prime Minister agrees or not.
The prime minister's residence quickly gave a reply, agreeing to all the requests made by Ximen Xiaoyue, not only that, but the dowry requested by the Duke of Jin was doubled.
The Duke of Jin was very satisfied, and so was Ximen Xiaoyue.
The government of Jin Dynasty.
Tonight in Fuzhong is almost a sleepless night. The old lady invited a good-fortune woman from the city to comb Ximen Xiaoyue's hair, hairpin flowers, and almost all the female relatives of the family.
In modern terms, Ximen Xiaoyue is a famous brand of the Duke of Jin's family. She is the widow of the loyal and fierce. The late emperor had named her as the second-rank imperial wife, and now she has been promoted by the empress dowager as the first-rank. The second-rank and the Yipin seems to be only one word apart, but it is heaven and earth.
There are many imperial wives of the second rank in this dynasty, but there are only three or four of the first rank.
Even the wife of the dukedom of Jin is only a second rank. Now that her granddaughter is promising, she is married to the prime minister's mansion, and she is named a rank one. For the dukedom of Jin, it is a great honor.
Because, the Ximen family has been out of luck for a long time.
The old lady personally came to Ximen Xiaoyue's room and screened the people around her, leaving Ximen Xiaoyue to talk alone.
"Now the Prime Minister's Mansion has agreed to our request, but don't think that the Prime Minister's Mansion values you very much. She only values your grandfather's influence. Now your grandmother tells you that after you marry, Yuan Shi will definitely not be able to. Stay, this person is too famous, although she has been suppressed, but now her daughter Xia Zian may be accused of marrying the regent. The regent has always disliked your grandfather, so Xia Zian will not be our ally , so you have to think of a way to drive out the Yuan family first."
Ximen Xiaoyue nodded, "Don't worry, grandma, granddaughter knows."
"Well, you have always been a smart child, and grandmother is very at ease with you. Also, although Chen Linglong was despised by the Prime Minister's residence, he has not been kicked out yet. Xia Wan'er is about to marry the crown prince, and Chen Linglong has The salted fish may turn over, you have to guard against the slightest and do not let her take power again, you have to understand that a person is the least threatening only when he dies.”
"The grandmother thinks, should she attack Chen Linglong first or Yuan Shi first?" Ximen Xiaoyue asked humbly.
"Chen Linglong can't have any trouble for the time being, but Yuan Shi and Xia Zian are in the limelight. It's not good to provoke them at the moment, but it's easy to be used against them. Get rid of Chen Linglong first. As for Yuan Shi, all her influence lies in her reputation. The Prime Minister's repeated attempts to ruin her reputation have failed. It can be seen that she is extremely intelligent, and her daughter should not be underestimated. However, there is one person who available."
"Who?" Although Ximen Xiaoyue hasn't married yet, she has heard of Yuan's reputation. Such a woman should not stay in the world, at least not let her become a threat to her.
"Prince An," the old lady coughed and said solemnly, "Prince An has never been able to forget his affection for the Yuan family, and he has not married yet. Your grandfather has some contacts with Prince An, so you can appropriately mention the Yuan family's situation in the mansion. , when you are rectifying Chen Linglong, you can also pretend to be on good terms with Yuan Shi, tell Yuan Shi that Prince An is infatuated with her, and make her tempted."
Ximen Xiaoyue shook her head, "The granddaughter can't do this kind of thing to please her, I don't like Yuan Shi, and we have already made a request that she can't be in the mansion when I enter the door, and then pretend to please her later, how can she Would you believe it?"
The old lady looked slightly sullen, "I just said that you are smart, but now you are stupid. You are not allowed to be in the mansion tomorrow. Is it to give her a slap in the face, do you know how to be kind? As for the fake friendship, it is not to please, but not to make trouble. Turn it over, it's good to have a decent face, and occasionally say a few words, it's best if Yuan's heart is moved, and if you don't, at least you feel guilty, and we can do things more conveniently in the future."
Ximen Xiaoyue thought for a moment, "The granddaughter is not arrogant, but the Yuan family is not worthy of the granddaughter's favor. Although this person is famous, I seem to be exaggerating. After so many years, he was crushed to death by that Chen Linglong. It's dead, it can't stand, it can be seen, it's not a good thing."
The old lady couldn't help but sunk her face, "It's wrong for you to say that, Yuan Shi can have today's reputation, and after more than ten years, in everyone's hearts, she still hasn't been affected, she must have something outstanding. At least, you can't do this. Although your reputation is great, it was exchanged through your dead husband, and it is not in the same rank as others. If you are proud, you will definitely lose in her hands."
