Jiajing did not go to the morning court today. The cabinet drafted the charter for this year's palace examination, and he still asked him to think about it. However, Jiajing obviously did not have the interest to ponder the so-called charter for the palace examination, because it was considered a contemplation, but it was just a statement. It was kept in the palace for a few days and then it would be directly criticized. This rule has been the case for hundreds of years, and this has become an example.

At this moment, he was in the Cining Palace, smiling and talking with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was happy today and kept saying: "The Ai family also liked the daughter of the Dongning Marquis. If this matter is really done, it will be better."

Jiajing said with a straight face: "The imperial edict has been issued. Can Xu Qian dare to resist the imperial edict? Mother, don't worry, this matter has been for sure. The daughter of Dongning Hou is as beautiful as a flower, and I have seen it with my own eyes. Besides, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She gave her marriage to Xu Qian, which was a bargain. How could he not like it? Yes, the mother said yesterday that Dongning Hou's eldest daughter had her face burned and she had not been married yet. Why should I find another good family and give her marriage together? Dongning Hou is in charge of Jinwu Guard, and his ancestors have made contributions to Jingnan, so naturally they can't be wronged."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Why, when did the Emperor care about other people's children?"

Jiajing smiled and did not hide it in front of the Queen Mother, saying, "Among the personal guards, I heard that there were several commanders who were close to the cabinet. Since this is the case, those who should be beaten must be beaten, and those who should be rewarded must always be rewarded."

The Queen Mother nodded deeply, and said in a serious tone: "Yes, I have heard of it from the Ai family. However, this Dongning Marquis is loyal to our Anlulai, and we should give them courtesy."

The two of them were talking nonsense, and the Queen Mother suddenly remembered something and said, "Why are Hongxiu not very happy recently? Alas, you, the emperor's brother, should be concerned about her. You can't marry other girls. This princess in the palace is not in the mood. If you have time, go and talk to her, don't neglect her."

Jiajing hurriedly said yes.

At this time, Huang Jin stumbled in. He was most afraid of the Queen Mother. Generally, it was impossible to be rash in front of the Queen Mother. I don’t know if something big happened. I let him do this. As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately bowed to the ground and then said, “Empress, Your Majesty, Xu Qian is going to get married!”

marriage……

Jiajing frowned and said, "Although the order has been sent out, it is not so soon, shouldn't we get married? Shouldn't we be hired? Where did the rules come from?"

Huang Jin smiled bitterly and said repeatedly: "It's Xu Qian and Gui Xiang's sister. They call Gui Zhier a married man. The wedding team has already set off. The guests who originally congratulated Xu Qian's high school now..."

"This..." Jiajing was stunned.

The Queen Mother was also at a loss.

It's over...

Something went wrong!

The imperial edict is about to go down and is about to give the marriage, but someone ran to welcome the bride. Isn't this a big joke?

Jiajing's eyes were faint, but what he thought of was another layer. His face suddenly became cold and he said in a deep mood: "Who leaked the news in advance? Didn't I say that the news should not be leaked? Which gossiped guy?"

Huang Jin was shocked. Only Empress Dowager Wang, Jiajing and the other three knew about this. Yes, he mentioned it to Wang Fen, and didn't think anything at that time. Now there was a problem, and he thought in his heart that Wang Fen was probably not careful for a moment.

But the problem is that even if Wang Fen is involved, it will be leaked by him Huang Jin. He will definitely not be able to escape his guilt. Now the Queen Mother is here again. If she knows what taboo she has committed and is not strict with her mouth, she will beat herself to death?

Huang Jin couldn't help but fight a cold war and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there are not many people in the palace who know about this. I know, but I haven't seen Xu Qian for a long time. Who is I usually? The Empress and Your Majesty know. Your Majesty spoke, but I dared not show off even if I dare to show it out. Please ask Your Majesty to take a closer look."

Jiajing then dispelled his doubts and couldn't help but murmur: "Is it not that Xu Qian was prepared for a long time, it was just a coincidence? Could this guy Xu Qian have any affair with Miss Gui? Yes, this guy, seeing that he is usually serious, it turns out that he is also a romantic guy. It must be because of this romantic guy who caused some peach blossom affairs, so he tried his best to cover it up, otherwise how could he get married hastily?"

The Queen Mother was still at a loss and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, what should I do now? It's time to get married. If the order is passed, wouldn't it be a joke? Do you still want the face in the palace? Even if it's the Dongning Hou, the face is not good."

Jiajing smiled bitterly. He was still full of confidence just now, but now he was already in a dilemma. He frowned and felt that the situation was serious. People were going to marry. If you go to issue the imperial edict, you must not let them get married. But if they are allowed to marry, they will open a golden mouth again. The Dongning Hou family will marry even if they don’t marry. It’s okay for two maids to serve and one husband. The problem is that this matter involves the palace and the problem will be difficult.

He hurriedly said, "Huang Jin, you...you should go there in person and find the eunuch who sent the order. This order cannot be made public. Just pretend that nothing has happened!"

Huang Jin also knew the power of this, so he stood up and ran away in a hurry.

The mother and son who were just chatting with ease, now they stared at each other with big eyes and couldn't say a word.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Although Gui Xiang was an official in the capital, he was just a Hanlin scholar after all. The two words "Qinggui" and "Poverty" are twin brothers. Once you are noble, it means you have no money to make money. It is nothing to rely on the salary of the court alone to barely survive, but it is a bit difficult to be rich. Although the Gui family is a big family, its main industry is not in the capital, and Gui Xiang is not an extravagant person. Therefore, the Gui family in the capital is only a three-fold courtyard, more than a dozen wing rooms, two halls in front and back, and a study room, and more than a dozen servants.

Now he was closing the door, glaring at Gui Zhi'er, and outside the house were a few girls waiting in various dresses.

Bang... Gui Xiang, who has always been warm, slapped the table, his beard trembling with anger, and said, "You did a good thing, hum! Oh... To be honest, how many months have the child in your belly been? When did you notice it? Our Gui family is also an official family, and it has never happened to such a thing after several generations. When my father was there, he often taught us three brothers and sisters..."

Gui Zhier was stunned. She had no intention of listening to what happened later. She only heard the child in her belly, which made her feel ashamed of embarrassment and her ears turned red.

She hurriedly said, "What are your brother saying, what are the children in your belly..."

Seeing her shy look, Guixiang couldn't help but jump up when she saw her refusal, and said angrily: "You still refuse to accept it? Do you think your brother doesn't know? Do you think your brother is blind or deaf? You have long felt strange. Since you entered Beijing, you have always been closed and your appetite has increased a lot recently, and your lower abdomen also has signs of bulging. You usually like to wear flowery dresses to make you look slender, but recently you always wear a small dress. Tell me, what are you trying to hide, what are you trying to hide?"

Gui Zhier was so angry that she almost fainted and couldn't help but say, "The weather is cold, who did you see wearing a skirt at this time?"

Gui Xiang was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer, but felt that Gui Zhier was confronted by him, so she was so angry that she almost burst into tears. She beat her chest and stamped her feet: "Okay, you deny it, brother can't control you anymore, hey... Dad, I'm sorry for you, old man, back then..."

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside. It was Mrs. Gui. When she saw the master coming back, she was angry, but she asked someone to prepare a dress and asked someone to decorate the mansion. Then she closed the door and quarreled with Gui Zhier. She was worried and knocked on the door outside and said, "Master, what are you doing? You can't say anything well, what are you doing when you startled?"

Gui Xiang angrily opened the door, and happened to see Mrs. Gui with a beautiful face. She shook her sleeves and said, "Yes, what are you doing when you are surprised? Since that's the case, then get married. Sooner or later, you will be exposed. How can you not cover it up? You, a sister-in-law, have to do your best to prepare for the dowry, so don't make our Gui family angry."

After he said this, Mrs. Gui outside the door suddenly had a stunned expression. Gui Zhier inside was also confused, and everyone thought that Gui Xiang was joking. Mrs. Gui finally couldn't help asking: "Which child is marrying? Why is it so hasty? Master, what's going on?"

Gui Xiang sneered, "What's going on? Go and ask your baby sister-in-law, I don't care about this!"

After saying that, Gui Xiang left with her sleeves.

Mrs. Gui felt the situation was serious and quickly stepped into the door. She advised the master not to close the door and question it. Now she felt that things were unusual and she closed the door in panic and said to Gui Zhier who was stunned: "Zhier, what's going on? Could it be...ah...ah...ah...ah, actually, this is just that. Although this kind of thing is not good to say, who can tell it clearly? Don't be afraid, isn't this here to welcome the bride? From now on, it will be legitimate, it's better than sneaking. Oh...Don't be angry, my sister-in-law knows, my daughter's family is shy, I heard about something that I have? Oh...Why didn't you say it earlier, and you're not suffering from my brother and sister-in-law..."
