She opened her mouth slightly, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Regarding Xiao Yu, Xie Sihua actually didn't really have any thoughts. Rather than saying it was the white moonlight in her heart, it was better to say it was the star in the sky, the one that would make her heart beat.
She never thought that the star would belong to her, but at the same time, she also believed that it would not belong to anyone.
So when the decree granting marriage comes down, she will lose control.
Perhaps after getting along with him for such a long time, she knew that Xie Songhua was not that bad. In fact, she had already put aside her prejudice against this cousin from the countryside.
But even so, she is not someone who can match Xiao Yu. No one in this world can match him, including herself.
She felt that this was a stain for Xiao Yu and the star in her heart, and she felt the pain of having her dream destroyed.
Xie Sihua just didn't want to accept this fact.
But now, this gift list told her another possibility.
The man who always treated all women with sincerity and who had long since decided not to marry seemed to have no objection to this marriage.
Why?
Xie Sihua felt very confused, as if there was suddenly an empty space in his heart.
But it's different for others. Everyone's thoughts are on the gift list.
There are hundreds of hectares of fertile land, how many shops, how many houses...
Not to mention those rare and rare ones.
These are not thirty-six units. If they are dismantled and broken down into one hundred and eight pieces, there will be no problem.
While everyone was stunned, the official of the Ministry of Rites finally read out all the gift lists, and then said with a smile: "This gift list was drafted by the Ministry of Rites and finalized by the prince for his review. It is also His Majesty's affirmation to the Lord of Danyang County."
After saying that, he took out an imperial edict.
Everyone did not expect this to happen, so they had to kneel down quickly.
"The Lord of Danyang County accepted the order."
When the old lady heard this, she quickly called the maid to call him out.
The whole family knelt on the ground in unison.
But she was specially awarded a reward for Dengzhou. However, she was the daughter of a minister. Being granted the title of county head was already as high as heaven. It was impossible to add a higher level. However, she was given a settlement of 1,000 households and a reward of 500 taels of silver.
This has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Originally, the title of County Lord was just a title and had no practical benefits. At most, it was just a bit of dignity on some important occasions.
This food is a real thing, which means that even if she has nothing one day, as long as Emperor Yufeng does not take back this imperial edict, she will not starve to death.
After bowing and expressing gratitude, the Xie family suddenly became lively.
Not only did I thank my family, but some of my close friends and relatives also came over with gifts after hearing the news.
After a while, even the crown prince and the third princess came. Now more people came after hearing the news.
As a result, the preparations were not enough, so An quickly sent people to the restaurant to book a table, no matter the price, as long as everything was complete.
Originally, the incident in Dengzhou had just happened, and the Xie family did not intend to make it public.
In addition, the fact that this matter is handled by the Ministry of Etiquette is already honorable enough. If it is too grand, it will make people feel that they are trying to show off.
I just didn't expect that Emperor Yufeng would value it so much.
When thinking about this Dengzhou incident, Emperor Yufeng defended King Chen and even held a celebration banquet for the civil and military officials of the court to attend. It seems that it is not difficult to understand his determined attitude towards Xiao Yu's marriage.
.
In this case, if there is anything else the Xie family can hide, the old lady ordered that all the good wine secretly stored in the family be brought out.
It was hectic, but everyone's faces looked excited.
Only Mrs. Qi had a stiff smile.
She looked at the Crown Princess and the Third Princess, who were holding Xie Songhua's hand and talking and laughing, and felt very dazzled.
If it weren't for Xie Songhua...
If she didn't come back...
All this should have been hers!
It is obvious that her Shu'er is a noble girl who has been carefully cultivated since she was a child. She should enjoy such honor. Why did she become like this?
Now that she saw that Xie Songhua was getting more and more proud and living better, the more she felt sad for Shu'er.
She is trying to build a good relationship with the old lady and restore her previous status in the Xie family, just for Shu'er.
The Xie family is also really cruel. The children they loved so much in the past are now abandoned at the drop of a hat.
That day Shu'er was pushed down, and the child almost lost her life. When the news came, the old lady just raised her eyelids lightly and replied that the matters in the East Palace were the affairs of the Heavenly Family, and ministers could not point fingers.
At most, she sent her mother-in-law to go there later, and the old lady didn't say anything.
Thinking of this, her eyes fell on the face of Crown Princess Zhao Mingxi over there.
Even though the Crown Princess is still above Princess Chen in terms of position, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Crown Princess is holding Xie Songhua in her arms at this moment.
In any case, Shu'er is also the adopted daughter of the Xie family, and she and Xie Songhua are sisters. Considering this matter, the Crown Princess should protect Shu'er in the East Palace.
Mrs. Qi thought about it and planned to go there, but she was stopped by the old lady, "Mrs. Zhou is here too. You have always been able to chat with her. Please sit with her."
Mr. Qi's expression turned pale. The old lady was talking about Zhou Wenyou's wife.
Because Xie Yuncang and Zhou Wenyou were classmates, the two families had many contacts.
But their family's Zhou Yu actually snatched Shu'er's position as the third princess, which really made Qi family feel very uncomfortable.
There has been no communication for a long time now. Even when Mrs. Zhou sent messages to invite me several times, she did not go.
I just don't want to see her proud face.
Now that the third prince was defeated in the Dengzhou case, he was rushing over again, and she really looked down on him.
It's just that the old lady has spoken, and she can't refuse.
Mrs. Zhou's expression was as usual. When she saw her, she smiled and took her hand, "Oh my, what a blessing. Our master said earlier when he saw your girl for the first time, this time
It looks like he is a lucky person, as expected!
Over the years, there have been between a thousand and eight hundred ladies in the capital who wanted to marry the prince. The prince had previously decided not to marry for the rest of his life! No, it turns out that fate fell into your family!"
There was a smile on her face, and her tone of voice was full of warmth and joy, but these words made her feel more and more uncomfortable in Qi's heart.
Mrs. Qi turned around and glanced at Xie Songhua, who was chatting happily with several young ladies over there. She twitched her lips and said with a smile, "Girl Songhua... is indeed a good child."
Mrs. Zhou curled her lips in her heart. She used to think that the second wife of the Xie family could be friends with her, and she wanted to make friends with her for the sake of her husband's career.
Who knew that after the incident of the wrong hug came out, she would actually look down on this noble lady from a famous family.
Even an eccentric eye can lead in the wrong direction.
Instead of looking towards the one who is your biological child, the one who can bring glory to the family, you must look towards someone who is full of selfish ideas to raise a daughter.
Now her biological daughter is about to become Princess Chen, and she can't even say a decent word of praise in public. Being a mother in this role is really speechless.
Of course Mrs. Zhou would not show these thoughts on her face, so she just praised her a few words happily.
At this moment, another announcement came from outside, "Mrs. Huayang has arrived."
