But even if the imperial edict was not for her, the Queen Mother sent someone to read it out. As the imperial concubine, she still had to go.
Su Tang waited under the shade of a tree for a while, and when Xie Boting came out, they went to the front yard together.
Not only them, but also the masters, wives, old ladies and princes and princesses from each room arrived.
Everyone looked at the Yizhi embroidered with flying phoenixes without knowing why. If it was for Su Tang, it would definitely be bad. After all, the Queen Mother was so angry that she fell ill, but the Yizhi was for Xie Rou, so she didn't know what to do.
broken.
When everyone arrived, the father-in-law began to read out the Queen Mother's decree.
Well, the string of words of praise for Xie Rou made Su Tang feel that the Queen Mother was blind. She was so beautiful and kind, and so virtuous and virtuous. These beautiful words had nothing to do with Xie Rou.
The father-in-law was so full of praise that he was almost out of breath, and his voice became even hoarse as he said, "...Now I canonize Xie Rou, the eldest daughter of the King of Jingnan, as the head of Xirou County, and marry the crown prince of Song Guogong...
"
"Appreciate this."
Su Tang knelt on the ground and instantly understood why Princess Nankang was all smiles when she saw the Queen Mother returning to the mansion that day. She knew that the Queen Mother intended to make her daughter the county head and marry her to the eldest son of Song Guogong.
Su Tang thought this marriage was very good and wonderful, so he brought the crown prince of Song Dynasty and Xie Rou together to save them from harming others.
Su Tang wanted to shout "The Queen Mother is wise", but the prince's face was gloomy.
After the father-in-law read out the imperial edict, his heart trembled a little when he saw the prince's ugly face, "King Jingnan, please accept the edict."
The prince did not kneel down. It was his privilege as a king with a different surname to stand and receive the order. He stretched out his hand with a cold expression. The father-in-law quickly put the decree into the prince's hand and left without even daring to say a word of congratulations.
Xie Rou blushed with shame and helped Princess Nankang to stand up. Princess Nankang was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear. However, this happiness did not last for a moment because the prince turned his head and threw Yizhi directly into her arms with a gloomy face.
He left without saying a word.
The prince was so angry that he threw Yizhi with a bit too much force, which made Princess Nankang's forehead tremble. She felt even more embarrassed because the prince did not save any face for her.
Su Tang had already stood up. She had nothing to do. Su Tang was about to go back with Xie Boting. Just as he was about to leave, the voice of the fourth girl Xie Qi came, "Third sister, everyone is up, why are you still kneeling?"
?”
Su Tang turned around and saw Xie Wei kneeling on the ground, her eyes red. Xie Qi helped her up and saw her crying, "Third sister, why are you crying?"
Xie Wei rubbed her knees and said with a sore nose, "I knelt a little too fast just now and hurt my knees. It hurts."
After saying that, Xie Wei reached out to the maid and said, "Hel me back."
The maid quickly stepped forward and helped Xie Wei away.
Everyone's attention is on Xie Rou, no one is paying attention to Xie Wei, except the third wife.
Xie Wei said she smashed her knee. This could fool others, but not her mother.
The second wife and the fourth wife were both congratulating each other. The third wife felt sorry for her daughter and said coldly to Princess Nankang, "The prince seems unwilling to marry the Duke of Song Dynasty."
If she doesn't speak, no one will think she is mute!
So what if the prince doesn't want to do it? The Queen Mother has issued the decree, so the prince has no choice but to disagree.
But having said that, the prince was so disrespectful to her just now, Princess Nankang's heart was filled with panic. The prince had never treated her like this before, and the cold look in his eyes made her panic, and her chest was hit.
It's a dull pain.
Worried, Princess Nankang went to the study to find the prince.
In the study, the prince was sitting there with a gloomy face. The servant knocked on the door and said, "Your Majesty, the princess is here."
The prince did not respond, and the servant did not dare to let Princess Nankang in.
Princess Nankang pushed the boy away and pushed the door directly in.
Stepping forward, Princess Nankang looked at the prince complainingly, "The prince hurt me."
The prince looked at Princess Nankang. The cold-eyed Princess Nankang only felt terrible. She felt that the person beside him who had been sleeping with him for twenty years was extremely strange, as if she had never entered his heart.
