February 28 is the day to get married.
The best official media in Yuezhou City responded to the invitation of the Zhenxihou Mansion and came to issue a letter of appointment to the Tang family.
For such an important matter as an engagement, the man should go to the woman's home in person to deliver gifts and meet the elders.
However, Mrs. Mo took into consideration that Guan Yi was a stand-in after all, so she simply announced that the prince's injury had not healed, and she and Xu Xiangxiang personally brought people to the Tang family to issue the appointment letter to show their sincerity.
Although it was hasty, the Zhenxihou Mansion was very sincere. It was just a letter of engagement. It was not yet time to issue the betrothal gift, but the gift was three carriages.
After a bustling day, the Tang family accepted the engagement letter, and the marriage between the two families was settled.
Yunling became Zhou Qiong's fiancée.
It is also the girl from the Tang family who everyone in Yuezhou City now sighs for pity for.
"Oh, can Crown Prince Zhou's face be cured this time? If the engagement is still not good, will this Tang family girl's engagement be cancelled?"
"What? The Zhenxihou Mansion is trying to use luck to avoid disaster. If this fails, Prince Zhou will lose his life. I think it will not only be an annulment, but also this girl's family may not survive!"
"Emma, Master Miaochen did the math himself, so there can't be any mistakes, right?"
"Let's see, who knows!"
People in Yuezhou City were talking a lot, but the two parties involved were immersed in joy.
Xu Xiangxiang held the brush and felt very proud.
"I will write a letter to Qiong'er and tell him the good news."
Although Zhou Qiong went to Qingzhou quietly, Guan Yi had his own way to deliver the letter.
Mrs. Mo also had a smile on her face, "It's time to tell him that he has a fiancée now, and he needs to be more careful outside."
She meant that she should pay attention to her own safety and not take risks easily, but Xu Xiangxiang misunderstood and added another sentence to the letter.
"Yes, if he dares to mess around outside, I will ask Ling'er to withdraw from his family, and I will find a better one for Ling'er."
Mrs. Mo couldn't laugh or cry, "Who is your biological son?"
He stretched out his hand and tapped Xu Xiangxiang's forehead, "If you spoil me like this without even getting married, what will happen in the future!"
Xu Xiangxiang leaned towards her and nuzzled her like a cat, "Didn't I learn this from my mother? Whatever my mother treats me, I will care for Ling'er. This is called the example of what goes up and what follows."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happily having fun in the house, but Grandma Zhang hurried in with a look of panic on her face.
"Old lady, madam, someone from Ruidu is here!"
Mrs. Mo's face darkened, "Who is here? Do you know him?"
"Little virtuous father-in-law."
Xiao Dezi is a chamberlain serving His Majesty and a disciple of Zhang Sanbao, the chief eunuch.
"Did you bring the imperial edict?"
Nanny Zhang shook her head, "That's not true. There is only His Majesty's oral instructions. Manager Zhou is entertaining him. We won't know until Madam comes over."
His face was a little nervous, "In the accompanying carriages, there are two girls' families who are also waiting to meet the old lady and his wife."
Madam Mo looked solemn and looked at Xu Xiangxiang, "What is supposed to come will come. Come on, let's go out and take a look."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked slowly towards the outer courtyard one after the other, with indifferent expressions and straight backs.
When they arrived at the main hall, Xiao Dezi finished his cup of tea and couldn't find anything to say to greet Butler Zhou.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shanshan, the two ladies from Zhenxihou Mansion, finally arrived.
"Met two ladies."
"My dear father-in-law, it's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work."
After the two parties had finished the ceremony, Xiao Dezi began to pass on the oral instructions of Emperor Tai'an.
It means that it is rumored that Zhou Qiong, the eldest son of the Zhenxihou Mansion, has been in trouble recently and is ill. His Majesty felt very distressed after hearing this. I guess it was because Zhou Shizi was old and did not have a good wife to take good care of him. Therefore, His Majesty decided to find a good match for him.
But marriage is a marriage between two surnames. His Majesty also promised that the prince could choose his own wife, so this time he did not grant a direct marriage.
There are many ladies in Ruidu who fall in love with the prince, especially the two who came with him. They are the best in both appearance and temperament. The two ladies will be happy to see him, so why not stay with him.
Emperor Tai'an didn't say it clearly, but it was actually the same as saying it.
The two accompanying them were probably given to Zhou Qiong by the fortress, but their names were determined by Zhou Qiong himself.
But His Majesty has spoken, and these two people are at least concubines.
Mrs. Mo's expression immediately changed.
"We appreciate His Majesty's kindness, but Qiong'er has already made an engagement the day before yesterday. It may be inappropriate to leave the two young ladies at this time."
"The prince is engaged? Never heard of it?" Xiao Dezi was a little dumbfounded.
It would be okay if there was no engagement, but if it was just an engagement, His Majesty's behavior would be somewhat inappropriate.
Xu Xiangxiang looked stern on the side, "It's not that we don't want to listen to His Majesty's arrangements. It's just too unlucky."
"A few days ago, something happened to Qiong'er, and the doctors were helpless. I asked Master Miaochen for a solution.
This girl's horoscope is extremely prosperous, my grandson didn't want to marry my son at first, but it was because of the kindness of this family that they finally agreed. Within a few days, His Majesty asked the two young ladies to come to our house... ..I’m afraid it’s inappropriate. "
Mrs. Mo was crying on the side, "Qiong'er has just gotten better, so don't ruin the master's arrangements."
After hearing the whole story, Xiao Dezi's head was as big as a bucket.
This is how to do?
Does the Zhou family want to resist the decree?
But he didn't have an imperial edict. What he had was just an oral instruction from His Majesty, or an oral instruction of care between relatives, not an order between the monarch and his ministers.
"No one can stay in the Zhou family." Mrs. Mo made the final decision.
Xiao Dezi was unwilling to give in and urged again, "Why don't we meet them first? They worked hard all the way to get here. You can't not even see them, right? Girls also have parents, so I feel sorry for them."
"So what if I see you? I can't change my mind."
"Even if I are willing, Qiong'er's disease won't allow me to agree."
What's there to see?
She is said to be a lady, and she has a deep love for Zhou Qiong, but she is actually an eyeliner.
Maybe it belongs to Emperor Tai'an, maybe it belongs to the Liu family, but these are not important. What is important is that these two people cannot stay in the Zhenxihou Mansion, nor can they see "Zhou Qiong" at this time.
If something goes wrong, Qiong'er will be in danger.
"Can the old woman arrange a place for us? I need to write a letter back to tell His Majesty about this, so that His Majesty can make a decision."
If he was led back like this, he was worried whether his head could still be hung around his neck.
"Row!"
After hearing that there was no need to keep anyone, Mrs. Mo agreed, "I still have a small house in the city, which is my dowry, why don't you just rest there for the time being?"
"Thank you very much, Madam. Please also ask Madam to send a steward to go with you. The accompanying guards and coachmen also need to be settled."
A month later, Xiao Dezi waited for a reply.
Suddenly, Chou's hair turned white.
