Chapter 680: Following the Trend of Ming and the Eldest Princess
The Queen once again went to the Chun'an Palace of the Queen Mother. This time she knelt down and begged the Queen Mother for forgiveness on behalf of the Emperor: "The Queen Mother, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. My daughter-in-law didn't expect that the Emperor would... agree to the request of Princess Minghe."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily and replaced everything the emperor had.
The Queen Mother was speechless. Zhang Wanyin had cried before. Seeing Zhang Wanyin so sad, the Queen Mother repeatedly promised that she would not be wronged again, and would suggest that the Ministry of Rites speed up the process, and even said that she would call Prince Duan to scold her.
A sudden pause will definitely not cause any bigger trouble.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, things unexpectedly changed again. Ming and Grand Duke actually jumped out and asked their son, Marquis Shunyang, to bring her zhezi directly to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, crying that she was dying and just wanted to see the emperor.
I hope my granddaughter can get married first, otherwise she will not close her eyes even if she dies.
He also said that she was seriously injured and left at who knows when. If her granddaughter could enter Prince Duan's Mansion with Miss Yu, her death would be worth it...
Lin Linzongzong said a lot, and said that Qian was just a marquis, and she was the eldest princess and the emperor's biological aunt. Now this is just a request, or her granddaughter is getting married. If she is happy, her health will be better.
I'm getting better, but now I feel like time is running out.
This reminds me of the previous talk about "bringing joy". Ming and the eldest princess wanted to make their granddaughter's marriage a happy one so that she could get better.
The so-called death is worth it, but it is just a nice way of saying it. After all, Xu Anjiao is going to enter Prince Duan's palace, and she is only a concubine.
In front of several important ministers, he thought that Princess Minghe was his biological aunt. At first, the late emperor asked him to take good care of Princess Minghe. Now he only had this wish. Anyway, with the affairs of the Xuanping Hou Mansion,
, what happened between Ming and the eldest princess is not too outrageous.
Getting a concubine is a step forward, but getting a concubine is nothing.
The assassination of Ming and the eldest princess is also true. Ming and the eldest princess are still lying in bed. Fortunately, the stab wound was on the right chest, otherwise something really happened this time.
After thinking this way, the emperor agreed.
However, the emperor agreed. The emperor also knew that the queen mother would not agree, so he sent the queen to plead guilty to the queen mother again. This is why the queen knelt down as soon as she entered the door.
"Is Minghe so seriously injured?" the Queen Mother asked with a gloomy face.
"The imperial doctor said, luckily it's okay. If it had been stabbed a little further, something serious would have happened." The queen said respectfully.
That means it won't be a big deal.
The Queen Mother was so angry that her eyes blurred, and she slammed the table hard: "She has no big problem, but she dares to ask her granddaughter to enter the palace first. She really breaks all the rules of the ancestors."
The queen didn't respond. It was true that Ming and the eldest princess were injured. The assassins haven't found out yet. Like An and the eldest princess, the emperor said he felt very guilty for causing two old aunts to suffer such a serious crime and almost lost their lives.
All gone.
The emperor said this, and as a queen, she naturally had to express this meaning.
"Good... what a peaceful time." The Queen Mother angrily covered her chest with her hands, feeling dizzy in front of her eyes.
"Mother." The queen panicked and hurriedly stood up and summoned the imperial doctor while supporting the queen mother.
After a period of commotion in the Chun'an Palace, everyone knew that the Queen Mother had fainted because of Zhang Wanyin's incident. It was said that it was because the granddaughter of Princess Minghe and Dachang was also going to enter Prince Duan's Mansion.
After that, the news spilled out from the palace to outside the palace. Everyone knew that the second girl of the Xuanping Hou Mansion had to go to the palace first because of Mrs. Hou's suicide by jumping into the well. The granddaughter of the eldest princess of Minghe also had to go to the palace because of her assassination.
, you must also go to Duan Wangfu first.
For a time, the entire capital was paying attention to this matter.
Some people think that this is a helpless matter. Since there is such a method, the royal family must abide by it. Mrs. Xuanpinghou is no longer able to do it, and she can no longer worry about her biological daughter.
As for Xu Anjiao, who lives in the palace of the eldest princess Minghe, her reputation is not as good as that of Yu Yuxi. Some people also said that she and the eldest princess have nothing to do with each other, they just want to join in and enter the Duan Palace together. The comments are even more unpleasant. Of course, such ugly words are also here.
Not in front of Xu Anjiao.
Now she is happily getting married.
She had long wanted to marry into the house, and her dowry had been prepared early, and the preparations were relatively complete. Since the emperor agreed, the day was set for the day after tomorrow. This was also the day when the second girl from the Xuanping Houfu entered the Duanwang Palace. It was very hurried, but no
Many people speculated that Mrs. Hou had passed away, and that they would wait until Yu Yuxi entered Prince Duan's palace before mourning her.
Just wait for my daughter.
This is also a reasonable thing. Everyone can understand it and understand it tacitly.
Ming and the eldest princess had their dreams come true. They didn't expect such a good thing to happen. If they had known she would have been ill earlier, they could have married their granddaughter into Prince Duan's palace earlier. Now it is too late for Xuanpinghou's palace, but
This is nothing. Yu Yuxi had to enter Prince Duan's palace because her biological mother passed away.
Yu Yuxi probably wouldn't have had her wedding that night, and her granddaughter was the one who really took advantage.
Thinking about it this way, I felt better. The wound was very painful, but the imperial doctor said it was nothing serious and that I would just take care of it for a while. Now I am focusing on organizing my granddaughter's wedding.
Someone took the dowry list and sent it to Prince Duan's Mansion. Even if she was married first, her granddaughter's identity was left there, and she still had to marry well. She still had to have the red dowry of ten miles.
But something that Ming and Grand Duke did not expect actually happened...
The Xuanping Marquis Mansion is also preparing for the wedding. Yu Yuxi’s dowry was also prepared by Qian long ago. She has accumulated praises since she was a child. It is several times more than the other girls, and they are all good. The same is true for the dowry list.
I prepared it early, but when I handed it over to Mrs. Zhou, it was still a mess.
A lot of the dowry will have to be re-counted, and it will be the day after tomorrow. Many items will have to be rearranged and it will be too late for the wedding.
It was sorted out by Qian in the past. When Zhou took over, they would have to be inventoried again. Many items were very precious. If something went wrong if they were not counted, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
When Yu Xijiao came over, Mrs. Zhou was already sweating profusely as she counted some precious items. Not only did the servants have to count them, but she herself had to see them in person before she could rest assured.
Before Yu Xijiao came, she also prepared a "big gift" for Yu Yuxi...
"I've met Madam." Yu Xijiao stepped forward and saluted.
"Third Miss, what did the eldest princess say?" Mrs. Zhou knew that Yu Xijiao had gone to ask for instructions from An and the eldest princess, so she hurriedly helped her and said anxiously.
There are so many objects, even if she is divided into three people, this task cannot be completed.
"Grandma and father mean it, you don't need to bring these." Yu Xijiao looked at the dowries all over the yard, and they were indeed all good. Qian had really good intentions for Yu Yuxi, but she didn't know if she had any when she died.
He found out that he died due to his own daughter's plot.
"Not even...?" Mrs. Zhou was shocked. Although she thought there would be a part missing, she didn't expect it to be so much missing.
The servants taking stock in the yard stopped and looked over cautiously and in astonishment.
"It is already against the rules to enter Prince Duan's palace. You cannot act like an ordinary concubine and enter with Shili Hongzhuang. This will not only hurt Prince Duan's face, but also the face of the royal family." Yu Xi said softly.
"But... these..." Mrs. Zhou was speechless.
"Let's put these aside for now, Madam, take your time to sort them out and talk about it later." Yu Xijiao said.
Mrs. Zhou frowned, then looked around, turned and entered the nearby room. Yu Xijiao knew she had something to say, so she followed her in.
"Second Miss will definitely not agree." Mrs. Zhou frowned and said uneasily.
Such a large dowry originally belonged to the second girl, but now she is asked to bring nothing. How could she be willing to do so?
"Don't worry, madam, this is what my father and grandmother meant. If Yu Yuxi has something to say, just ask her to come to me." Yu Xijiao said coldly.
"Is this... really good?" Mrs. Zhou was still uneasy and undecided, but when she saw Yu Xijiao's calm smile, she calmed down and said, "Okay, then I will send someone to talk to the second girl about this.
"
Yu Xijiao nodded and was not in a hurry to go back.
Inventory and sorting are still necessary, but there is no need to be so urgent, you can do the inventory slowly. She is also helping Zhou with his eyes here.
Mrs. Zhou got up and left to prepare for the funeral. Mrs. Qian had passed away and was currently in her yard.
Marriage affairs were not a big deal, but funerals had to be done, and Mr. Zhou was too busy to be busy.
This courtyard is near Yu Yuxi's Tingxiang Courtyard. Most of the rooms in the entire courtyard are filled with Yu Yuxi's dowry. The inventory is here.
When Yu Yuxi brought Jin Yu over, the person in charge of the count was Yu Xijiao.
"Third sister, why can't you take away my dowry?" Seeing Yu Xijiao, Yu Yuxi's face turned pale and angry.
"It's too late the day after tomorrow." Yu Xijiao looked at her calmly and said.
"I want to take these items with me, that's all." Yu Yuxi reached out and took out the dowry list from her sleeves, pointing to the items circled on it.
Every piece is priceless, every piece is a rare treasure. Yu Yuxi also knows that it is impossible to take them all away, and only selects some high-value items.
It was all saved by Qian for her.
Seeing Yu Yuxi take out the dowry list, Yu Xijiao took it. After reading it, a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips. She slapped the dowry list on the table and said coldly: "These are not good."
"Why not? My mother prepared this for me. You don't want to take it down and use it yourself? Aren't you afraid that my mother will get up in the middle of the night and look for you?"
Yu Yuxi glared at Yu Xijiao and said.
It can be said that her wish came true. Soon she will become Prince Duan's side concubine, and she will be able to step on Yu Xijiao's head. Now she will no longer hold back her temper and talk to Yu Xijiao.
"What I said... seems to be true. If Mrs. Qian doesn't get up in the middle of the night to look for you, what are you doing to me?" Yu Xijiao asked, raising her eyebrows coldly, "What's the difference between life and death between Mrs. Qian and me?"
What’s the relationship? It’s not my fault that Mrs. Qian jumped into the well.”
These words made Yu Yuxi's heart tremble, as if there was some secret that Yu Xijiao had spied on, her eyes jumped fiercely, and she exhaled hard: "Third sister, these are my dowry, I only choose
There are only a few of these. If you still disagree, I will go find my father."
There really weren't many, just a few pieces. She didn't believe that her father would disagree. He even went to the palace to ask for the emperor's consent, but his father had already done it. How could he care about these few pieces? The quantity was small, but the value was high. There were only a few pieces.
It is already a small part of the value of the entire dowry. If you bring your own banknotes and jewelry, even if the dowry is small, it will not be much less!
Yu Yuxi thought it was OK, but the few things she circled were really not OK...
