It may be that the Zhao family and other families returned to participate in the Double Ninth Festival this year, and Shen Mingzhu and the Beiting Hou Mansion may have vaguely noticed something. Or maybe Gu You was embarrassed and didn't come up the mountain. Shen Mingzhu was happy and didn't bother anyone else.

Mrs. Rong Guogong's legs have improved a lot this year. Xie Yixiao and Chen Baishao have studied many methods for her legs. She refused to take medicine, so they made ointments, foot soaking packs, and moxibustion. They spent a year carefully conditioning her legs.
The effect is really good.
Xie Yixiao didn't know much about medicine, but in order to be curious, he studied many prescriptions left over from ancient times, and even made and filmed videos himself. There were all kinds of decoctions, pills, and pills that nourished the skin and extended life. Such formulas were combined with Chen Baishao.
Medical skills are indeed of great use.
After the Double Ninth Festival, His Majesty ordered the Dayen Temple to enshrine the "Yingwu Hall". From then on, every year during the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor would lead hundreds of officials to worship on the rooftop, and each family member did not have to accompany him.
In the past, the emperor did not care how famous his elder brother was. After all, his achievements were facts and this was the honor he deserved. But now that King Huainan intends to use his grandfather's reputation to taint the throne, he cannot do anything.
On September 18, Xie Yixiao was happy after reading the letter that Rong Ci would be returning soon, when he saw Russula hurried back home from outside and told her a big event.
Your Majesty has granted a marriage to Zhao Gongzi of the Zhao family, Zhao Qingran's brother Zhao Qingfeng. The recipient of this marriage is none other than Xu Pingting of the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
It was the Xu Pingting she knew.
Xie Yixiao's heartbeat stopped, and the fingers holding the letter tightened a little harder: "You gave Miss Xu a marriage to Mr. Zhao? Your Majesty gave you the marriage?"
"Exactly." Russula took a breath and continued, "Now the imperial edict has arrived at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Zhao family."
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly grant a marriage?" Even if His Majesty wanted to support the Zhao family, he did not point out the marriage of a legitimate daughter of the Hou family. Speaking of the difference between the Xu family and the Zhao family, there are more than one or two.
Russula shook her head: "I don't know."
Xie Yixiao was also confused. She didn't know it herself, so how could Russula know about it? She was just thinking about finding someone to discuss the matter, but she found that Ming Jing was not at home, and there was no one in the yard who could discuss it with her.
.
She thought for a while, put the letter away in the orchid lacquer box she specially used for letters, and then went to find Jiang Zhaoling.
Jiang Zhaoling is currently raising her baby at home. The autumn weather is slightly cooler now, so she ordered someone to move a rocking chair under a crabapple tree in the yard. There is a tea table next to it, with tea, snacks and fruits on it. It looks so leisurely.
very.
"What kind of wind brought you here today? Come on, bring some delicious food." Seeing Xie Yixiao coming, Jiang Zhaoling was very happy and hurriedly asked the maid to bring some food.
She can't go anywhere to raise a baby, it will grow into grass.
"No, I came here today to talk to you." Xie Yixiao sat down on the chair next to the coffee table and sent the maid away. Then he spoke to Jiang Zhaoling and said, "Your Majesty will marry Xu Pingting."
Gave it to Mr. Zhao."
Jiang Zhaoling paused while squeezing Li's hand: "Xu Pingting? Which Mr. Zhao?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "The son of the Zhao family who came back to participate in the Double Ninth Festival this time is the brother of the Zhao Qingran and Miss Zhao whom I told you about. What do you think the metaphor of His Majesty's move means?"
"Your Majesty rarely grants marriage to people."
Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, and there are many state affairs that cannot be finished. Moreover, because it is the establishment of a new dynasty, he has ascended the throne and is expected by everyone, and his own ability is strong enough to suppress all the ministers. Therefore, there is no need to use the marriage grant to restrict the marriages of various families.
In addition, the Queen has passed away, and as an emperor and a grown man, he will not care about marriages between families.
Jiang Zhaoling gave her a steady look, and then said: "I think you are confused when you are concerned."
Xie Yi smiled: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Zhaoling said: "Actually, you don't have to worry about her. Although it is a marriage, have you forgotten that you and the Ninth Young Master are married?"
Xie Yixiao was stunned for a while and understood the meaning of her words: "Are you saying that this marriage may have been requested by the Xuanping Marquis himself?"
"It's possible." Although Jiang Zhaoling was raising her baby at home, she was not completely ignorant of what was going on outside. People like them also had eyes and ears outside.
"These people from the Zhao family did not leave after the Double Ninth Festival. Many people speculated that His Majesty might want to use these people. Since he wants to use them, he will not just perfunctory them. The Zhao family used to have the highest status around Prince Zhaoming, but now looking at these people Mr. Zhao is also the most outstanding person."
"Although you have a good relationship with Xu Pingting and know what kind of person she is, people outside only know that she is domineering and bully others. Her reputation is not good."
"Many aristocratic families are not willing to marry such a daughter-in-law, and she is used to having a flamboyant temper. If she is asked to marry into a wealthy family and become a lowly child and start as a granddaughter-in-law, she will definitely not be happy. As far as she is concerned, Mr. Zhao is a Excellent choice.”
The Zhao family has a simple population, and the superiors have focused on training him to be used in the future. If she gets married, and has the support of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion in the future, she will not be worse than others in the future.
Besides, when the Marquis of Xuanping married a legitimate daughter into the Zhao family, no one would comment on their benevolence and righteousness. Although Xu Pingting married at a low age, no one would laugh at her. They would only praise her for her righteousness and take the opportunity to clear her name. Not allowed.
If it goes deeper, His Majesty will definitely be happy to see the results. The Zhao family has a relative from the Xuanping Houfu, so he doesn't have to worry about anything, and he looks good.
Xie Yixiao thought about it carefully and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "This is the best."
She was afraid that His Majesty wanted to support the Zhao family and directly issued an order for Xu Pingting to marry her. What should she do if Xu Pingting was unwilling but could only marry her after the imperial edict came out?
Jiang Zhaoling said: "Don't worry about her, she is not stupid, and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is not stupid either. Even if His Majesty really directly granted the marriage, she can still live a good life."
Having said this, Jiang Zhaoling slowly lay back on the rocking chair and covered her face with a handkerchief: "Don't people like us learn to live a good life no matter what the situation is as soon as we become sensible?"
When you are in your position, you must bear the weight of your glory. When your situation is good, you can be more willful when you marry. If your situation is not good, you can only have choices, but you cannot be willful.
Therefore, smart girls like them rarely like someone before the marriage is decided. Even if they like someone, they must be with someone who has a chance to get married, so as to avoid being sad in the future.
But...if we really met, I probably wouldn't be able to help myself.
Jiang Zhaoling reached out and pulled off the veil on her face, looked at the sky, and finally turned to Xie Yixiao: "Speaking of which, you are willing to marry the Ninth Young Master, but because you like him?"
