The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 290
"Okay! I owe you first!"

Hearing Lin Zisu's straightforward reply, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "After you get married, if you feel bored in the mansion, you can go to my Wenyuan Pavilion at any time. There are enough books for you to read. It's been a few years."

When Lin Zisu got home, she immediately went to see her parents and talked about it.

Xie Xi's trip to Dunzhou has a lot to do with it, so naturally I can't say much about it.

Therefore, Lin Zisu only told her parents that the emperor urged them to get married, and concealed all other details.

When the family heard the news for the first time, they were all stunned.

Especially for Mrs. Bi, she originally thought that her daughter was young and there would be time to prepare the dowry slowly.

Who knew that the emperor had a sudden whim and wanted Lin Zisu to get married so soon, how could there be time to buy the dowry in such a short while?
Besides, just after her daughter got married, Xie Xi was about to go to Dunzhou to become a fan.

Daughter and uncle, one is in the capital, the other is in Dunzhou, thousands of miles apart, how is this different from being a widow?
Thinking of her daughter's experience, Bi's nose became sour, and tears were about to come out of her eyes.

Lin Yuanzhi secretly scolded the emperor in his heart.

He didn't think it was the emperor's whim. The prince's wedding has always been custom-made. When Na Cai was a few months ago, he hadn't heard the wedding day mentioned by the Ministry of Rites.

This sudden, sudden urging of this marriage seems to have another secret behind it no matter how you look at it.

Lin Zisu also knew that her parents couldn't accept the news for a while, so she could only explain: "Actually, my daughter just got a name when she married. There is no one to restrain her in the house, and there is no need to set rules. It's no different from being at home. And The ten princes' mansion is not too far from our house, and I can come back to see you anytime."

Seeing that Mrs. Bi was moved, Lin Zisu smiled again: "After my daughter is married, she will be in charge of the royal family. The warehouse has been moved here, and there is no famine that my daughter can't solve."

Bi Shi laughed immediately, and his nose was sore again with a smile.

My daughter has not yet reached the age of cardamom, and she is bored in the house every day at home, so how can she know what to do?
Throughout the night, the Canningbo Mansion seemed to be shrouded in a cloud of gloom.

On the contrary, Lin Zisu didn't have too many worries, and has been waiting for the imperial edict at home.

The marriage with Xie Xi has come to this point, there is no reason to turn back.

However, the emperor didn't seem to have made up his mind yet, and nothing happened.

Previously, the censor had been chasing Bi Suinan to participate in the concert, but these days, he didn't know what happened, but suddenly disappeared.

On the third day, the emperor's imperial decree still hadn't arrived. Instead, he waited for the result of the selection of concubines by the Ministry of Rites.

Fang Qingge, the second lady of Weiyuan Hou's family, became the crown princess, and the third prince's first concubine really chose Zheng Peiyao.

The sixth prince, Xie Yun, is still underage, yet he has already appointed his concubines. It seems that the emperor intends to send all these princes to other places.

Sure enough, the Ministry of Rites determined the result of the selection of concubines, and the decree about the entrustment of the princes followed closely.

The third prince, Xie Hui, was granted the title of King Hui, and the land of Huizhou in Lingnan; the sixth prince, Xie Yun, was granted the title of King Cheng, and the land of Chengzhou in Hezhong.

Because Xie Xi had already been entrusted a few months ago, and got a marriage gift from the emperor, everything went ahead of the princes, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with him.

On the tenth day of September, five days after the announcement of the result of the selection of concubines by the Ministry of Rites, not only did the emperor's decree reach Kang Ningbo's residence, but he also sent it along with the betrothal gift.

Lin Zisu waited for a few days, but she still didn't wait for the imperial decree, thinking that the emperor had some new plan, and began to sleep late and wake up late again.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, when Lin Zisu was about to wake up, Zhu Zhenzhu, Bi's close maid, ran into her yard in a panic, saying that her son-in-law had brought a betrothal gift, and she was waiting in the front yard.

Lin Zisu originally thought that the marriage between herself and Xie Xi was originally a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and it was rushed in such a hurry.

No matter what the emperor did, he would first make a decree to test the movements of the government and the opposition.

Unexpectedly, the emperor even omitted the imperial decree, and Xie Xi sent it directly with the betrothal gift.

When Lin Zisu arrived at the front yard, half an hour later, Lin Yuanzhi was sitting and chatting with a group of visitors in the flower hall, Xie Xi was already impatient with waiting, and kept looking outside the door.

After seeing Lin Zisu, he walked forward in two steps in three steps, as if offering treasures, pointed to the two piles of red lacquered boxes outside the door, and smiled triumphantly: "Susu, my father has prepared 64 loads of boxes for you. The dowry, I thought it wasn’t enough, so I added another 64 loads, I’ll take you to have a look after I’m done in a while, and I’ll make sure you like it.”

When Xie Xi was speaking, Rong Zonghou behind him was grimacing and his mind was in a mess.

It was not the first time for Rong Zonghou to deal with Xie Xi, for this whimsical prince, Rong Zonghou was full of powerlessness.

The amount of dowry for the prince to marry the princess is all customized.

Gold and silver jewellery, cloth for crown clothes, pigs, sheep, chickens and geese, tea fruit, rice noodles, add up to exactly 64 tans, which is rich and festive at the same time.

However, Xie Xi couldn't help but added another 64 loads of presents. When Rong Zonghou saw the gift list, he felt dizzy.

Among the 64 boxes, there are not only books and medicinal materials, agate and jade, but also a few boxes of gadgets that cannot be named.

Rong Zonghou couldn't help but want to ask, is His Highness King Dun marrying a wife, or coaxing a child?
The most terrible problem is that in Dayan, only when marrying a queen or a princess can the dowry gift of 120 eight dan be used.

Yesterday, Minister of Rites Qian Minzhong sent the bride price for the Crown Princess to the Marquis of Weiyuan. Lin Zisu was just a prince and concubine, but she actually used the same regulations.

If the crown prince knew about this, would he think that the Ministry of Rites was doing something against him on purpose?
The prince will not make trouble with King Dun, nor will he trouble Qian Minzhong.If there is any fire, it will eventually fall on Rong Zonghou.

Thinking of this, Rong Zonghou was so upset that he couldn't even speak clearly.

Fortunately, Rong Zonghou still remembered a few important things, and while Xie Xi led Lin Zisu to watch the betrothal gift, he explained it to Lin Yuanzhi.

"Uncle, I wish you congratulations!"

"September [-] is the day that Qin Tianjian is optimistic about. Your Majesty Yuhuangji Palace will confer books on the princesses."

"There are several good days in the next month. The crown prince chose the sixth day of October. His Majesty said that he always liked Princess Dun the most, so he made the decision for her and chose the twelfth day of October."

Lin Yuanzhi thanked Rong Zonghou again and again, and when the people below were not paying attention, he stuffed a thick red seal into Rong Zonghou's hand.

Rong Zonghou didn't refuse, sat down and drank a few cups of tea, and was about to leave when an official behind him coughed heavily.

Rong Zonghou was taken aback immediately, turned his head to look at the official, and was about to reprimand him aloud.

The official bite the bullet and said: "My lord, the nuns of the Shangyi Supervisor are still waiting in the side hall to measure the princess. Look, when is it convenient?"
