Xie Feiwu is the Minister of Rites, and some important canonizations in the palace require the Ministry of Rites to take the lead.
It stands to reason that the rank of a concubine of a county prince would not require the high standards of the Ministry of Rites, but who makes the little prince feel unusual in the emperor's heart?
Moreover, Xie Feiwu had been at home for such a long time, but the Holy Father called him over by name. It was obviously for the purpose of rectifying the aftermath of the Xie family's incident.
Xie Sihua glanced at her sympathetically, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and held her wrist, "Let's go together."
Xie Songhua glanced at her in surprise, then took a deep breath and smiled at her, "Okay."
What is supposed to come will always come, and there is no way to hide it.
When the sisters arrived at the Summer Palace, everyone was already waiting there. Incense tables were set up in the courtyard outside, and all the high-ranking people in the palace had put on uniforms.
Only Xie Wenhua had a bad face and was not allowed to move under An's control, but he looked at Xie Songhua with a somewhat apologetic look.
Xie Songhua shook his head gently at him, meaning to tell him not to mind that matter anymore.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he was met with a pair of vicious eyes.
Xie Shuhua had not walked around in front of others for a long time. Xie Songhua only knew that Xie Yuncang's people had been closely guarding her. The maids and women around her, as well as everyone who participated in her plan that day, had all been expelled.
After not seeing her for such a long time, she had visibly lost weight and looked much haggard, but her eyes seemed a little bigger because of this, and the resentful look she looked at Xie Songhua became more obvious.
There is a devil living in her heart and she has always hated herself. This is something Xie Songhua knows very well, so he is not affected by her gaze at all. Instead, his gaze falls very naturally. Sure enough, the originally flat belly has bulged slightly.
It's just that the month is still shallow, so if you don't look carefully, you won't be able to tell it clearly.
Sensing Xie Songhua's gaze, Xie Shuhua showed a somewhat proud look on her face, "I never expected that my fourth sister would marry the little prince in the end. She is really lucky. As a sister, I have never been able to give birth well.
My sister congratulates me, and I hope my sister won’t be angry.”
It has already reached this point, and Xie Shuhua did not forget to make herself uncomfortable.
Xie Songhua endured her unhappiness and pretended not to hear. Instead, she walked directly to the old lady and bowed to her respectfully.
The old lady looked at her lovingly, then took her hand and asked her to stand next to her.
Xie Shuhua over there seemed to not see the hatred others had towards her, she curled her lips in disdain and then sneered.
The sisters of the Xie family looked at Xie Songhua with somewhat sympathetic eyes. Xie Sihua saw Xie Shuhua's expression in the blink of an eye, and suddenly she became worried, "Third sister, you are the protagonist of our family today.
!Don’t stand nearby! After all, you are the one who is going to enter the prince’s palace.”
The others were stunned when they heard this and turned to look at her.
Xie Sihua still had that smile on her face, as if she was really happy for Xie Shuhua.
In fact, everyone in the family already knew who the child in Xie Shuhua's belly was, and they also knew that this time Xie Shuhua was going to enter the East Palace.
Xie Sihua's words...
After just a brief thought, everyone understood what she meant.
Things that everyone in the family knows, but two people don't know.
That is the Qi family and Xie Shuhua who have been closely guarded by Xie Yuncang.
It seems that the mother and daughter still think that the child in Xie Shuhua's belly belongs to the third prince. It can be seen from Xie Shuhua's proud eyes that she seems to have been looking forward to the upcoming result.
Although everyone didn't know why Xie Shuhua didn't even find out whose child she was pregnant with, it was obvious that... Xie Sihua was setting the stage for a good show later.
Surprisingly, this time, no one spoke to refute Xie Sihua's words. It seemed that at this moment, everyone had a unified tacit understanding.
Soon, there was a sound of horse whips outside, and the concierge had already made preparations. After a while, Xie Feiwu, wearing a crimson official robe, and a group of people filed in.
"The Xie family accepts the order!"
Things had been prepared a long time ago. When Xie Feiwu came in, everyone was standing in accordance with the rules. As soon as he said these words, everyone knelt down.
Xie Feiwu's eyes swept over the many relatives in his family, and then he cleared his throat and read: "According to the Queen's decree: Xie Yuncang, the minister of the Ministry of War, has fulfilled his duties and upheld justice. I am very pleased that the adopted daughter of Xie Mansion, Jiang Shuhua, has been given to the East Palace.
For Prince Baolin, I appreciate this."
At first glance, this decree is just two random strokes of writing, without even a well-arranged reason.
But what surprised everyone was that in this decree, Xie Shuhua was directly called Jiang Shuhua, the adopted daughter of the Xie family. This is...
While Xie Songhua was kowtowing and thanking everyone, he secretly looked at Xie Yuncang's expression. Could it be that he specifically asked the saint to name him?
It's a pity that a veteran like Xie Yuncang can easily let people see through his expression. From Xie Songhua's perspective, he can only see a serious and serious look on his face.
"Impossible!" A sharp female voice suddenly sounded. Everyone turned around and saw Xie Shuhua getting up from the ground, pointing at Xie Feiwu and saying, "What nonsense are you talking about?! I am pregnant with the third prince's child, how could the queen do that?"
Promise me to the prince?!"
Xie Feiwu was followed by several officials from the Ministry of Rites and eunuchs from the palace. Hearing this, his face became a little embarrassed.
However, Xie Yuncang finished the salute in a proper manner, stretched out his hand to take the imperial edict, then turned to look at Xie Shuhua and said coldly: "You don't even know whose jade pendant you got! How dare you speak arrogantly here!"
"What?" Xie Shuhua was stunned. She looked at Xie Yuncang in horror, "What did you say?"
"The jade pendant you gave me that day, I presented it to the Holy One. The Holy One said it himself, it was the prince's jade pendant. What? Do you want to go into the palace to argue with the Holy One?"
Xie Shuhua staggered two steps as if she had been hit in the head, almost unsteady, and then trembled uncontrollably. She kept shaking her head, "Impossible! Impossible! How could it be the prince?! How could it be possible?
Prince?"
She looked at the others in horror, only to find that everyone was looking at her indifferently, and Xie Sihua's face was even more gloating.
impossible!
This is impossible!
Looking at her current state, it became clear to others that she herself might not be sure that the person she was having sex with was the Third Prince.
In front of so many outsiders, Xie Yuncang's face was really embarrassed when he exposed such unbearable things in his family, but he could only endure it.
Fortunately, the person in the lead was his own brother. The two brothers looked at each other and comforted each other.
"There is also an imperial edict."
Xie Shuhua was just registered as Prince Baolin, and his status did not meet the requirements of the imperial edict.
Now this imperial edict is clearly awarded to Xie Songhua.
At this moment, the joy that had just arisen from seeing Xie Shuhua deflated quickly dissipated from the hearts of everyone in the Xie family.
In contrast, Xie Songhua's fate made Xie's family even more sad.
Xie Shuhua also recovered from her shock. She was almost crazy. In such a short period of time, she had no way to clarify her thoughts and accept the reality that she was about to marry into the East Palace.
But she was able to quickly and clearly come to her senses and look at Xie Songhua's fate. She suddenly laughed, looked at Xie Songhua with a bitter and proud look, and then she knelt down again while holding Qi's hand.
She can't care about herself at the moment, but as long as Xie Songhua is not good, it will be a great thing for her.
Xie Songhua took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
In any case, with her being so transparent, it seems to be a very remarkable thing that her name can appear on the imperial edict one day.
As she thought this, she looked up and found Xie Feiwu looking at her with a strange look.
After catching her gaze, the other party quickly moved away, and then recited the imperial edict, "By the fate of heaven, the emperor summons: Xie Songhua, the third daughter of the Xie family, is from a well-known family, gentle, intelligent, kind-hearted, and kind-hearted.
I am very pleased to hear that Shude contains a chapter. Now, when the king of Chen, Xiao Yu, is ready for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman and his wife. The third daughter of the Xie family, Xie Songhua, is waiting in the boudoir. She and the king of Chen are a match made in heaven and earth.
, for the sake of becoming a beautiful woman, I specially betroth you to Prince Chen as his concubine..."
"Wait a minute!" At this moment, a figure hurried in and shouted loudly.
However, Xie Feiwu only paused briefly, and then continued to read the imperial edict smoothly, "All etiquette will be jointly handled by the Ministry of Etiquette and the Qintian Supervisor, and the wedding will be completed at the right time. This is it!"
Princess Huimin, who hurried over, and everyone kneeling in the Xie family were stunned for a moment. Except for Xie Feiwu and the people who came with him to issue the edict, everyone else seemed not to understand the content of the edict.
