Transfer Fubao four and a half years old
Chapter 676: Eunuch Qian teases Duke Shun and the two masters.
*Marriage Decree*
The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, proclaims:
Since ancient times, good marriages have been made by heaven. Today, there is the eldest daughter of Shunguo Mansion, Yan Chuchu, who is only thirteen years old, virtuous, gentle and respectful, and is indeed a good match for the royal family. I am deeply impressed by her virtue, and I specially grant her marriage to Jiao Zhongfan, the thirteenth Beile of Beile Mansion, to form a good relationship between Qin and Jin and build a hundred-year alliance together.
Jiao Zhongfan is a royal noble, with a good character, outstanding talents, and both civil and military skills. He is truly a hero of the time. He is now married to Yan Juanjuan, which is a match made in heaven. I am very pleased. I hope that the two of them will respect each other, live in harmony, and enjoy a long-lasting marriage.
This decree was issued and the wedding was completed yesterday.
After the imperial edict was read, there was a long pause but no one heard the eunuch calling for orders. Duke Shun knelt with his head lowered for a long time but there was still no movement.
Duke Shun had no choice but to raise his head. He saw that Eunuch Qian above him remained calm, but with a smile on his face. He did not continue to read the decree, so he had no idea what he meant.
Looking at his future sons-in-law on his left and right who were also staring at him blankly, he was also confused: should he accept this imperial edict or not?
The Thirteenth Prince was even more anxious than him, as this was an imperial edict between him and his beloved concubines, and it concerned his lifelong happiness.
He poked Duke Shun's side with his elbow, as if to signal him to accept the order immediately.
Who would have thought that just as Duke Shun raised his hands to his head, Eunuch Qian's voice came again, and he had to crawl on the ground and put his hands down first: Is Eunuch Qian teasing him or the Thirteenth Prince?
*Marriage Decree**
According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:
I heard that the eldest daughter of Duke Shun, Yan Chuchu, is only thirteen years old. She is kind-hearted, talented and beautiful. She is also proficient in pharmacology and benefits the people in her hometown. She is known as the "Princess Yaoxiang".
Prince Jue Jiao Zhongjue is young and promising, with noble character, and is a good match.
I am grateful that the two of you have always put state affairs and the people first, so I specially grant a marriage between Jiao Zhongjue and Yan Chuchu, and establish a lasting friendship.
I hope that Prince Jue and Yan Chuchu can respect each other and live in harmony in the future, and jointly safeguard the glory of the royal family and the Shunguo Mansion. I also hope that the two can work together to contribute to the prosperity of our dynasty.
After this decree is issued, the wedding can be completed on a chosen date. I decree this!
This time it was faster.
After reading it, Eunuch Qian took a breath and then sang loudly: "The Shunguo Mansion has received the decree."
Duke Shun was still prostrating himself, but he straightened his body slightly and raised his hands above his head to receive the imperial edict. But then he thought: That's not right! Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor if he received two imperial edicts granting marriage by himself?
Do the two daughters have to come forward in person to receive the order?
Although he had been an important official in the court for decades, he did not have the honor of being married by the emperor himself. Twins were rare in those days, and it was even more unheard of that the emperor would marry two daughters of the same family on the same day. How should he accept this?
Although she didn't dare put her hands down, she still looked at Prince Jue next to her with a sharp look. She bit her lip and pursed her lips, wanting him to give her some advice quickly.
As for not looking at the Thirteenth Prince, it was not because he favored one over the other among his two sons-in-law, but because he was not that familiar with him and felt that Prince Jue should know more.
Jiao Zhongjue was shocked by the look in his eyes. Would his father-in-law suddenly regret it now? Did he not want to accept the order? His originally big copper bell eyes suddenly narrowed into a monster, and then he blinked at him, not like a lion or a tiger, and poked him a few times with his elbow. What did he mean?
Eunuch Qian was looking at the expressions of the three people below and the more he watched, the funnier he found it. He did it on purpose. Seeing their embarrassing looks, he felt that it was enough.
So he sang loudly again: "Shun Guogong - Mansion - receives the imperial edict." The word "Mansion" was deliberately stretched out, as if it had a specific meaning.
The two old ladies in the back row heard something fishy. Old Lady Li quickly poked Li Yan in front of her and said, "Hurry up and go up to receive the order!"
Old Madam Li was kneeling behind her daughter. Being so close to the water, no one could notice her small movements.
Juanjuan had never seen such a scene before, so she would not go up without being summoned. When Chuchu was granted the title of Princess Yaoxiang, it was in the palace. The piece of rice paper was several feet long and was read out by the current emperor himself. She was not allowed to receive the decree on the spot. She remembered that it was only after the entire decree was read out that a young eunuch personally delivered the edict to her. So she did not understand such rules.
Now the old lady also urged him, but Li Yan was still a little dazed.
Chuchu and Juanjuan saw and heard from the corner of their eyes what their grandmother and maternal grandmother said, "Hurry up and go up to receive the order," and the way their mother was pushed.
The two men hurriedly moved to the middle to allow their mother more space to walk forward. There was more space when they were standing just now, but now that they were kneeling down, there was almost no space between the people.
Juanjuan saw that the prince who was kneeling beside his father didn't know how to make way, and his mother couldn't get up, so she quickly pushed him from behind.
The prince had known for a long time that Juanjuan was kneeling behind him, and he was secretly happy when she touched him suddenly. He turned around and saw Juanjuan just smiling foolishly, as if she was waiting for something, but he still didn't know why.
He didn't hear what the old lady said just now.
Juanjuan was anxious, and she grabbed the collar of his clothes on his shoulders and pulled him aside: "Make way for mother."
At first, the prince wondered how Juanjuan could be so bold as to dare to pull him in public.
After hearing this, he realized that he had misunderstood, and quickly moved two or three feet to the side. His face turned red and he lowered his head. This time even Aunt Ning twisted her lips, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
But the prince was secretly happy in his heart, and his wife said: Give the position to mother.
Haha! Mother! Fu Jin admitted that it was also his mother.
That look is really silly and cute.
The people kneeling at the back didn't see Lord Beile's expression, but Eunuch Qian and Aunt Ning who were standing on the steps both laughed, especially Eunuch Qian, whose expression was very narrow and the flesh on his chin trembled as if it was dancing.
The Duke of Shun and his wife knelt down and took a few steps forward respectfully, each taking an imperial edict and kowtowed to express their gratitude. They paused for a while before stepping back and continuing to kneel without looking up.
Then came the Queen's reward. This time, Chuchu and Juanjuan personally knelt down to receive the Queen's reward.
The things they received were still covered with red silk, but from what Aunt Ning told them, they knew that the rewards for the two sisters were the same: a pair of nine-linked jade rings, a string of ruby beads, and a jade ruyi that symbolized good fortune.
Aunt Ning personally placed Chuchu's jade ruyi in her hand. When she leaned over, she whispered to her, "The Queen said she missed you."
Chuchu immediately came to her senses, took the jade ruyi, prostrated herself on her knees, and responded: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift. Tomorrow Princess Yaoxiang and my sister will go to thank the Queen."
After the two sisters stepped back and Bayue Qiuli and several maids accepted the rewards, Eunuch Qian asked everyone to stand up.
"Eunuch Qian, Aunt Ning, let's continue drinking tea. Duke Shun's mansion has prepared some light wine today. Let's leave after lunch." While Duke Shun was speaking, he handed the purse in his sleeve to Eunuch Qian's sleeve. Eunuch Qian smiled knowingly, and when the thing went into his sleeve, he squeezed it. The purse didn't feel heavy, so he thought it must be silver bills, and took it with a smile.
Over there, Li Yan also stuffed a purse for Aunt Ning, and Aunt Biyu and Aunt Qingyi also helped their master to stuff the purses for the palace maids and young eunuchs. Even the guards at the door, Zimo also went out personally to give rewards, and everyone accepted it happily. This is the rule, and accepting it shows respect for the master's family.
However, after completing her task, Aunt Ning did not follow Eunuch Qian into the front hall. Instead, she bowed and greeted the old lady and the lady, saying that her task was completed and she had to return to the palace to report.
Li Yan hurriedly followed and walked them out. Even though Aunt Ning declined, Li Yan did not stop. Chuchu and Juanjuan also followed behind and walked them out.
Seeing such respect, Aunt Ning spoke a few more words to Li Yan and gave him some words of care, seeming to be a little warmer than usual.
When they reached the door and were about to get on the carriage, Aunt Ning turned around and bowed to the three of them before turning around and getting on the carriage. She looked very humble and respectful, without a trace of neglect.
