Mrs. Cui did not dare to delay for a moment, immediately changed her clothes and went to the front of the hospital to receive the order.
When they arrived at the front yard, they discovered that the father-in-law who announced the decree was actually not from Fengyang Palace, but the Ninth Prince Qi Yihan.
"I have met the Ninth Prince." Ms. Cui expressed shock, "I wonder if the Ninth Prince is passing on the Queen Mother's decree or His Majesty's decree?"
Qi Yihan only said: "Old madam, I am just running errands for the Queen Mother."
Ms. Cui was a good person and understood immediately. On the surface, it was the Queen Mother's decree, but in fact it was probably the Emperor's. It happened to be something special in the palace, so it seemed a bit outrageous to send an uncle to deliver the decree, so she simply asked Jiu to do so.
The prince is here.
The Ninth Prince unfolded the imperial edict in a serious manner and recited aloud: "Transmit the imperial edict of the Queen Mother."
"My wife accepts the order."
Ms. Cui and others knelt down on the ground while cheering, and those who wanted to watch the fun stayed far away, not daring to come and cause trouble.
The Ninth Prince did not read out the imperial edict, but instead said: "Old madam, this imperial edict is for Miss Li, so please invite her to come and receive it!"
"Ah?" Ms. Cui was stunned for a moment, then was helped to her feet, "It's for Man'er."
Qi Yihan said nothing and had no expression on his face. He just looked at Cui with the Yizhi in his hand.
Mrs. Cui has experienced strong winds and waves, but at this moment, she still couldn't bear it.
"Go in person and ask her to come back only in filial piety and not to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother. Then send someone smart to call the master."
Putting the country first and then the family, compared with the Queen Mother, wearing sackcloth and mourning for the Guo family is not an important thing.
Grandma Wang walked quickly.
"Your Majesty, there is something going on at home, and I'm afraid the reception won't be good enough. Why don't you ask Your Majesty to speak in the front hall."
"That's fine."
Hearing the response, Mrs. Cui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly personally led the way for the Ninth Prince.
When they arrived at the main hall, a boy was serving tea, and Mrs. Cui inquired about the content of Yizhi.
She also understood now. It was estimated that this imperial edict was for Li Man'er's marriage, but she didn't know whether it was to cancel the engagement or...
Ms. Cui was in a state of confusion, but fortunately Li Shu came over in time.
"I have met the prince."
"You don't need to be polite, Lord Marquis." Facing Li Shu, the Ninth Prince finally no longer cherished words like gold.
Li Shu cupped his hands and sat down next to him, "Why don't you come..."
"Running errands for the Queen Mother." The Ninth Prince pointed to Yizhi who was thrown aside, and said nonchalantly: "This is for Miss Li. Even if the Marquis doesn't come, he will do it."
Yizhi was thrown onto the small table aside, and the Ninth Prince didn't care.
Li Shu had a terrible headache and felt that everything was pressed into one place.
"The prince came here to issue the decree this time, but to cancel the engagement?"
"That's right!" Qi Yihan simply said: "Your Majesty will go on an expedition soon, and I still have some things I want to tell you."
On the surface, he came here to break off the engagement, but in fact, there might be a secret order from the emperor?
Li Shu felt at ease, and Mrs. Cui also understood the implication. She just hoped that the evil obstacle would come over soon and take the order so that they could go their separate ways.
The old debt collector from the Guo family is still in her yard!
Li Man'er changed out of her mourning clothes and hurriedly changed into a pair of elegant clothes and came over.
Entering the main hall, Li Maner immediately saw Qi Yihan sitting in the upper position, and his eyebrows moved slightly.
"My daughter has met the prince."
Li Shu and Cui were about to get up, thinking that since the real master had arrived, it was time for Qi Yihan to read out the imperial edict! Unexpectedly, Qi Yihan didn't even move his buttocks, he just grabbed the imperial edict and threw it directly towards Li Man'er.
.
Yizhi, who was brown in color and embroidered with gold thread, drew an arc and was caught in Li Man'er's hand.
Is this how Yizhi was read? Don’t bully her for not studying well.
Li Man'er looked at the Ninth Prince, then at Li Shu and Cui, smoothed the Yizhi in his hand, put his hands on it, and slightly bent his knees: "My daughter accepts the decree."
Probably because she did it too deliberately, Qi Yihan actually had a little smile in his eyes, "I have already done what Miss Li asked for."
Damn it! When she entered the palace, the emperor personally promised her to break off the engagement. Besides, it was him who lost the bet, and it was none of his business.
But these are all small things, as long as you achieve what you want, no matter what the bet is, you still begged for it. She is a boudoir girl, even if she begged from the Ninth Prince, it is not a shame.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Man'er didn't say any nonsense, "I have to keep vigil for my mother, so I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he bowed slightly and left the main hall.
Ms. Cui also stood up and said goodbye, "I still have to deal with the middle-aged man. Your Majesty, please stay with me."
Qi Yihan didn't make excuses this time and bowed slightly, "Old madam, walk slowly."
Ms. Cui breathed a sigh of relief and was helped to leave.
In fact, Qi Yihan didn't talk to Li Shu for too long. He just gave him a secret edict and burned it after reading it.
Qi Yihan didn't even know what was written in the secret edict, so he solemnly handed it to Li Shu and left.
After Li Shu saw off the Ninth Prince, he closed the doors and windows tightly, walked into the inner room, and opened the secret edict...
In the corner of the garden, Li Man'er was holding the Queen Mother's edict and reading it with gusto, "virtuous and good-natured, quiet in appearance, intelligent in nature, gentle and gentle..."
The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, "Are you talking about me? It doesn't sound like it!" Is the Queen Mother such a complimentary person? It's just Hu Tianhai's random compliments.
"Girl, you can't say such things. This is the Queen Mother's decree." If you question the Queen Mother, you are risking your life.
"Oh." Li Man'er felt blushing and simply stopped reading. She looked back and confirmed that her engagement with Tong Qiao was terminated. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and smiled on her face.
"Very good."
Zi Yan was a little anxious, "Girl, aren't we going back? We still have to keep a wake for my wife!"
"Why are you so anxious? After all, we are here to receive the order. No matter how big the Guo family's matter is, can it be bigger than the royal family? If you don't take this opportunity to come out and do some activities, how long will you have to kneel down?"
The purple smoke stopped making any sound.
"They are all guarding the mourning hall. It's not like I won't go back to your girl, I'm just going back later."
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a slightly mocking voice, "Miss Li is also used to fooling people. I wonder if she has also fooled me."
Zi Yan was startled and quickly lowered her head to say hello.
Li Man'er rolled his eyes, turned around and bent his knees slightly, "Good morning, Ninth Prince."
"You haven't replied to my words yet."
Zi Yan didn't dare to move. She thought to herself that she should pluck out her ears quickly and don't let her hear anything she shouldn't.
"Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. My daughter and your Majesty have never had any contact with each other, so why should I try to fool around with you?"
Qi Yihan glanced at Zi Yan and said, "Step back!"
Zi Yan glanced at her master quietly, and when she saw Li Man'er nodded, she lowered her head, took a few steps back, turned and left.
