The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 643: Marriage Grant (6)
The sudden sound of gnashing his teeth that was cold and full of anger made Xiao Xiao froze. When he saw it, he saw that his father was staring at him with a ferocious gaze that wished he could eat him.

"Father..." Xiao Xiao twitched the corners of his mouth, and said inwardly that it was terrible.

"You wait for me, I'll deal with you when I go back!" Master Xiao threw him a cold look, turned his attention back to the palace banquet, and his mind was running fast, thinking about how to stop it. The matter of marriage.

After hearing Ah Xiao's words, the emperor bestowed the marriage on Jue Lin's own begging, and the person who bestowed the marriage would be his niece.

Damn, hate, really hateful!What does it mean to go directly past them and beg to the emperor?When the Xiao family members died, right?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Jingyan stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Your Majesty, my subject—"

It's just that before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor. The emperor didn't seem to see Xiao Jingyan's ugly face, and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Aiqing, just right, I just said that I would bestow marriage to the little prince Juelin. , do you know who I plan to marry Jue Lin to?"

Xiao Jingyan's face became even uglier, making the ministers in the hall baffled, what's wrong with Prime Minister Xiao, his face is so ugly, could it be that he is uncomfortable?
Xiao Jingyan gritted his teeth, "I don't know." His hands hanging under his loose sleeves were already tightly clenched into fists.

The emperor seemed to appreciate the expression on Xiao Jingyan's face at the moment, and he laughed loudly, "So there are things that Xiao Aiqing doesn't know! Jue Lin is not young, and I have been thinking about his marriage, and I have been thinking about getting married. Find a wife for him, I have found this person today, this person is Xiao Aiqing, your niece!"

puff!
Mu Jinxi lost her composure and sprayed out the food that she just unconsciously put into her mouth.

The hall was silent.

No one thought that the person the emperor said would be Prime Minister Xiao's niece!Isn't today her first time attending a palace banquet?How could the emperor marry such a newcomer, who can't even be called a noble daughter, to the young prince Juelin?Has the emperor drunk too much?
Xiao Jingyan came to his senses very quickly, and immediately went to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, thanks to His great love, it's just that my niece is really not good enough for the young prince Juelin. The young prince Juelin should find someone who is better and more For a noble woman to be a princess, the minister's niece may not have this blessing, so please take it back."

If the emperor's words had already shocked the ministers, then Xiao Jingyan's words also surprised them. Is Prime Minister Xiao trying to refuse the emperor's offer of marriage to his niece and Jue Lin?
The emperor didn't get angry when he heard Xiao Jingyan's words, and said in a gentle tone: "Why don't you have any blessings? If I say yes, I will. I am the Son of Heaven, and if I say she has this blessing, she will! As for whether you deserve it or not?" It's even easier to say, as long as Jue Lin likes it, it's okay to have a lower status. Besides, she is your niece, and you are the prime minister of my great Chu. Are you not worthy of Jue Lin? Okay, this one It's settled like that."

After finishing speaking, I ignored Xiao Jingyan, stood up and said in a clear voice: "Now there is a girl from the Mu family, Jinxi, who is beautiful and intelligent, gentle and honest, with outstanding appearance. I am very happy with the queen, and I will marry the young prince Juelin as the main concubine. It will be arranged by Qin Tianjian and the Ministry of Rituals, and we will get married on a good day and auspicious day!"

This is just a simple marriage bestowed verbally by the emperor, and later there will be an imperial decree specially read out at the Xiao Mansion, so that the marriage bestowment will be officially finalized.
