Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 197
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict said: Princess Jianing, the daughter of Princess Rongding, is honest and gentle, beautiful and dignified, with virtue and harmony, and I love her very dearly with the Queen Mother. Today, the commander of Jinyiwei, Chu Wuhen, is twenty years old and smart and intelligent. , behave well, have outstanding virtue and appearance, the two are a natural couple, they are really a good match, I am very happy, so I bestow Chu Wuhen as a son-in-law, choose a good day and auspicious day to get married, all matters will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Si Tianjian, the announcement Chinese and foreign envoys have heard about it. This—”

The imperial decree was sent to Princess Rongding's mansion together. Xie Shuangge and Chu Wuhen returned, kneeling at the door and listening to the announcement of the decree before the bell.

It was one feeling to hear the emperor's personal promise in the palace, but it was another feeling to kneel in his own home to receive the order.

Zhong Qian solemnly announced the decree, gave Chu Wuhen a hand with a wink, and said with a smile, "Lord Chu is really lucky!"

Chu Wuhen smiled, "Thank you, Eunuch."

"Hey, Lord Chu's blessing is yet to come!" He glanced at Xie Shuangge, leaned closer and whispered: "There is no rule in this dynasty that a son-in-law cannot take power. His Majesty originally wanted to bestow a title on Lord Chu, but Lord Chu also knew how to do it." For you, the current situation is not icing on the cake, but cooking oil on the fire."

Of course Chu Wuhen understands, and he actually doesn't care about titles at all. For him, what he wants most is revenge, and Jianing, and the others are just fleeting moments to him.

He cupped his hands in front of the clock and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I understand."

Zhong Qian saw that his expression was calm as usual, and he praised him: "Master Chu is a sensible person, what is there to worry about in our family? Your Majesty can't leave people by his side, and our family will return to the palace now."

Xie Shuangge smiled and said to Qing He beside him, "Send off Eunuch Zhong."

"Yes, father-in-law, go slowly."

Qinghe followed Zhongqian and stuffed him with a purse full of silver. Zhongqian was the eunuch next to the emperor. He had seen many good things, but who would think there was too much silver?

He accepted it with a happy smile, and followed Qinghe out.

Xie Shuangge handed the imperial decree to Qingtao to keep it away, and then turned to look at Chu Wuhen.

Chu Wuhen was still holding a copy of the imperial edict in his hand, and he held both ends with both hands, staring blankly.

Xie Shuangge couldn't help laughing, and shook his hand in front of his eyes, "What? Are you dumbfounded? Are you still admiring uncle's calligraphy?"

Chu Wuhen slowly raised his eyes, and there seemed to be a little bit of light in his eyes, like a sunrise on the boundless sea, from faint to dazzling, to radiant and shining, it made people's heart flutter.

Xie Shuangge felt his eyes warm up.

"All wishes come true, but I am still afraid of being in a dream."

The people around couldn't help laughing lowly when they heard this.

Qing Xing was surprised: "It turns out that Master Chu is still in a dream? This servant thinks that Master Chu will not even frown before Mount Tai collapses."

Xie Shuangge glared at her: "It's not big or small."

Qing Xing wrinkled her nose, "This servant just said this because he knew Master Chu was happy."

Chu Wuhen really didn't bother with her, he came back to his senses and said: "Xin Xing, send the imperial decree back to the Chu Mansion and take it away."

Xin Xing stepped forward and took it: "Yes."

"Xin Lu, go and get 500 taels of silver and distribute it. Whoever sees it will have a share, reward!"

Xin Lu was also happy, "Yes, this subordinate will go now!"

Qing Xing and the others looked at each other, leaned over and said, "Thank you concubine for the reward!"

With a clear voice and a smile, Xie Shuangge blushed ashamed. She didn't dare to look directly into Chu Wuhen's eyes, but her heart was warm. She thought for a while and said, "Since Mr. Chu is so generous, I can't Be stingy, pass on the order that everyone in the Moon Palace will double their monthly silver."

The joy was added to the joy, and everyone cheered, "Thank you, Princess!"

Away from the noisy voices and the bright sunshine, Xie Shuangge was in a turbulent mood, and she quietly turned her head to take a look at Chu Wuhen, but unexpectedly she was caught, and Chu Wuhen was also looking at her.

The moment the four eyes met, the surrounding sounds seemed to be cut off by an invisible barrier, and only the heartbeat that lost its rhythm was left in my ears.

The sunlight seemed to be fading in each other's eyes, only the face of the sweetheart became clearer, so clear that it seemed that they wanted to carve each other's appearance into their bones and blood.

Looking at each other and smiling, autumn is better than spring.

……

The wedding ceremony was so grand that the news spread quickly.

Jindu couldn't hide its secrets. Those who were interested received the news at the first time, but their reactions were different.

Wei Jiuting is sitting in Feiluan Palace, playing chess with Concubine Mei.

Concubine Mei was twisting a white ball, her eyes were deep, she seemed to be thinking about how to place the ball, Wei Jiuting didn't rush, she leaned on the cushion and looked at her.

Wei Jiuyuan came in with a heavy heart, and was stunned for a moment when he saw such a scene.

It was Wei Jiuting who noticed him first, turned her head and smiled at him: "Since brother is here, why don't you make a sound?"

Concubine Mei raised her eyes, although she was puzzled, she was still very happy to see her son coming, she put down Bai Zi and said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Sit down."

Where can Wei Jiuyuan sit down?He said to the surrounding palace people: "Everyone back down."

The palace people went out and closed the door, Wei Jiuyuan sat on the stool closest to the two of them, "Concubine Mu, you and Jiuting are free, but you don't know that the palace has already exploded."

"What happened?" Concubine Mei frowned.

Wei Jiuyuan sighed, and glanced at Wei Jiuting who was opposite. Wei Jiuting still had that cold and gentle appearance, as if he didn't care what he had to say at all.

Thinking a bit more competitively, Wei Jiuyuan deliberately said: "Concubine Mother, didn't you find a concubine for Jiu Ting before? Just now, the emperor ordered that Jiu Ting's concubine is gone."

Concubine Mei didn't react for a while, she turned around abruptly after a while, "What do you mean? Chu Wuhen is dead?"

The smile on Wei Jiuting's lips faded, "How can a good person die? Is it given to someone else?"

She looked directly into Wei Jiuyuan's eyes, and said in a cold voice, "Brother, you might as well speak up if you have something to say, do you still want to be tight-lipped in front of the concubine?"

Concubine Mei frowned even tighter.

Wei Jiuyuan resented secretly, he wanted to put her on the line, seeing her lose her composure, but she didn't expect to be caught by her instead, what a mistake.

"I have no such intentions. Just now, I have entered the palace. I heard from the palace people that my father has already married Jianing and Chu Wuhen. The imperial decree has been issued. The Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rites have already started preparations."

"Why was the marriage granted all of a sudden?" Concubine Mei clapped her hands on the chessboard with a gloomy expression, "Could it be because of the Queen Mother?"

Wei Jiuyuan pondered for a moment and nodded: "It's not impossible, the Queen Mother's spirit is not getting better every day, and she has always liked Jianing, so she must settle Jianing well before leaving."

Concubine Mei pursed her lips tightly, and couldn't help but glance at Wei Jiuting. Her original plan was to let Wei Jiuting seduce Chu Wuhen and pull him into her boat, but now that the imperial decree has been issued, if Jiuting Ting's continued approach to Chu Wuhen will inevitably have a bad impact on Jiu Ting's reputation.

She is just such a daughter, who is still weak and sick. Although I haven't seen her for many years, it would be a lie to say that she doesn't feel distressed.

Seeing Wei Jiuting's clear eyes, Concubine Mei held her hand and said in a low voice, "It's because the concubine is not thinking well."
