After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

Ji Weiwei was overjoyed when she heard this and hurried forward and knelt down to listen to the order.

Xiao Jingyi was reluctant and waited for a long time before kneeling next to Ji Weiwei.

"My son, please listen."

"The courtier listens to the order."

"My fourth son, Xiao Jingyi, is of noble character and distinguished in both civil and military affairs. He was granted the title of Prince Kang and opened a palace outside the palace. Ji Weiwei, the granddaughter of Ji Lei, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has an upright nature and a prudent attitude. I hereby refer to Prince Kang as the person who married him. It is the concubine's responsibility to choose an auspicious day to get married."

"My son, I accept the order and thank my father for his grace."

"My daughter accepts the decree, long live my emperor."

Xiao Chenyu nodded, "I'll be fine without any ceremony."

Ji Weiwei smiled and looked at Xiao Jingyi. Although Xiao Jingyi was extremely reluctant, he still helped her up.

Ji Weiwei got her wish and was very happy. At this moment, Lin Qingrou clenched her teeth and was so angry that her nails dug into her flesh without even realizing it.

Everything changed so fast today that she had no time to react.

Xiao Jingyi didn't tell Lin Qingyao, but let that bitch Ji Weiwei take the lead and become Xiao Jingyi's concubine.

Ji Weiwei's thoughts are very clear to Lin Qingrou. Lin Qingrou will not take anyone who threatens her status lightly.

But in Xiao Jingyi's eyes, Ji Weiwei is just a pawn that can be used, and will eventually be placed elsewhere, so Lin Qingrou didn't target her too much before.

Who knew that today's situation would change and she would actually take the position of concubine.

Xiao Jingyi's main concubine is reserved for someone who can better help him seize the throne. Even if she marries Xiao Jingyi in the future, she will only be a side concubine for the time being.

But the emperor had just promised Ji Weiwei to be the first concubine, which meant that she would be inferior to Ji Weiwei.

Even if Xiao Jingyi likes her again, she will always be suppressed until he ascends the throne.

Seeing Ji Weiwei with a smile on her face, Lin Qingrou became even more angry and wanted to go up and slap her.

But she knew she couldn't. She could only endure it now and calculate the general ledger later.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to His Highness Prince Chen, and congratulations to His Highness Prince Kang."

Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate the new year.

Xiao Chenyu was very happy when he heard this, "Hahaha, we are all happy together."

Taking advantage of the emperor's happiness, Gu Jing'an stood up at the right time.

"Your Majesty, I am brave and want to ask for your favor."

Xiao Chenyu was in high spirits, so naturally there was nothing wrong with him.

"Jing'an, you have also made a great contribution this time. I will try my best to satisfy any requests you have, but it doesn't matter."

Gu Jing'an said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I have been pleased with Lin Qingwan, the legitimate daughter of Zhongyong Hou for a long time, and would like to ask the Emperor for a marriage."

Xiao Chenyu smiled when he heard this, "What's going on today? I was asked to marry you. Then I have to ask the person involved first what he means. You heard what Jing'an said, the eldest girl of the Lin family, what do you mean?"

After hearing this, Lin Qingwan stood up slowly and bowed.

"If you reply to Your Majesty, I...I am willing, but Your Majesty will make the decision."

Xiao Chenyu knew as soon as he heard that the two of them had feelings for each other, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, okay, it seems like this is a double blessing for the Zhongyong Hou Mansion."

Zhou Menglin smiled and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, today is such a good day, full of happy events."

Xiao Chenyu smiled and said: "Jing'an, the eldest girl of the Lin family, come forward to receive the order."

The two smiled, walked forward hand in hand, and knelt side by side in front of the temple.

"Weak ministers listen to orders."

"The courtier listens to the order."

"Gu Jing'an, the crown prince of Xuanping Marquis, is a man of Ming practice and is loyal and upright. Lin Qingwan, the legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhongyong, is well-behaved, well-educated in etiquette, and has a fine hairpin and a talent for singing catkins. Tanzhi welcomes auspiciousness, and the two have a good marriage. God has decreed that we will be married. I hope that you two will be of one heart and one mind, respect the country to the fullest, and do not betray my will. It is your duty to choose a good time to get married.

"I accept the order, long live my emperor."

"My daughter accepts the decree, long live my emperor."

Xiao Chenyu smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "I'm sorry."

Gu Jingan and Lin Qingwan helped each other stand up and smiled at each other.

"Today was supposed to be a celebration banquet, but unexpected surprises came one after another. Everyone here, let's drink this cup together and bless these three couples."

After hearing this, everyone stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate together.

The banquet continued next. The Zhongyong Hou Mansion was in full swing today. Lin Yanzhe and Lin Yanting were surrounded by everyone, accepting congratulations from everyone.

Many people came to congratulate Jamel Xiao and Jamyi Xiao, but the difference was that Jamel Xiao was smiling and happily accepted everyone's blessings.

Xiao Jingyi's expression was much gloomier, which made some people stay away and did not dare to step forward.

Gu Jing'an was also in a good mood and exchanged glasses with the ministers who came to congratulate him. After the crowd gradually dispersed, Lin Yingche appeared in front of Gu Jing'an.

"Prince Gu, congratulations, you finally got your wish."

Gu Jingan smiled when he heard this, "Thank you, Major General Lin. Congratulations."

"Young Master Gu is out of town now, isn't it? We will be a family soon. I originally wanted to find a chance to put in a good word for you, but before I could say anything nice, I heard Yao'er say that both the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt are right. You are very satisfied, and all the compliments I prepared have not come in handy."

Gu Jingan smiled and said: "Anyway, I would like to thank Major General Lin. Our two families will have more contact in the future."

Lin Yingche smiled when he heard this, "That's natural."

The banquet lasted until evening and ended when Xiao Chenyu became a little drunk.

After Xiao Qingning said goodbye to Lin Qingyao, she was about to leave when she saw a familiar maid quietly coming to her side.

The maid whispered in Xiao Qingning's ear: "Your Highness the fifth princess, this servant is Qinfang, the eldest maid of the legitimate daughter of Marquis Wu'an."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning realized that she looked familiar, she turned out to be Li Yaxuan's maid.

"I remember you. Is it your young lady who comes to me for help?"

Qinfang shook her head, "No, it was my young master who asked his slave to give you a few things."

After Qinfang finished speaking, she handed Xiao Qingning a small baggage.

Upon hearing that it was from Li Zhehao, Xiao Qingning couldn't wait to take it.

Xiao Qingning opened it and saw a variety of exquisite small items inside, including rouge and gouache, hairpin earrings, and fan sachets, all of which were Xiao Qingning's favorite gadgets.

Xiao Qingning was very surprised and said with a smile: "Does he have anything to say to me?"

Qinfang smiled when he heard the words and whispered: "The young master said that although these are not valuable things, they are all the things you like, princess. The young master will buy them every time he sees something you like when he goes out. These have been I have been saving for a long time, so please accept it, princess."

After hearing this, Xiao Qingning felt warm in her heart. It turned out that he remembered everything she liked.

As a princess, Xiao Qingning has never seen any kind of rare treasures, and she doesn't care about those precious gold and silver jewelry at all.

She rarely had the opportunity to leave the palace. Every time she passed by a roadside stall, she would be attracted by all kinds of novel gadgets, which she had never seen in the palace.
