Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful
Chapter 176 Reward! Reward! Reward! (Must read)
Then, the empress pointed out nine names to the prince in one breath, including Liangdi, Liangyuan, Chenghui, Zhaoxun, Fengyi, etc.
Although their positions were not high, their backgrounds were strong, as they were all daughters of aristocratic families or important officials.
What is surprising is that among the three sisters of the Zhi family, Zhi Yaoyao was assigned to be the prince's concubine.
The Queen did not refer to the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but the daughter of the Zhi family?
Seeing Old Madam Hou and Madam Hou expressing their gratitude together, Xie Zhaozhao immediately understood that this was the idea of Gu Chengyan and Mrs. Tu.
Gu Jiaojiao and Gu Yanyan are notorious, and the reputation of the daughters of the Marquis' Mansion has been completely ruined. Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi are both victims.
In addition, even if Gu Huanhuan and Gu Xixi became the prince's women, it might be good for the Marquis's Mansion, but it would not be good for the first wife.
The second branch will rise. The second branch’s wives, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Tu, have always been at odds with each other. What will happen if the second branch is promoted again?
Regarding the prescription incident last time, everyone in the palace tacitly agreed that Gu Chengyan was "infertile". If the second wife has another daughter entering the palace, will the second wife inherit the title instead?
This was something Tu could not tolerate.
Therefore, Tu and Gu Chengyan would rather promote the Zhi family than give the second branch a chance.
As for how to step on the second branch and support the Zhi family, it is very simple. Gu Chengyan just needs to say hello to the prince.
I'm afraid he has already controlled the prince. It's not surprising that a person controlled by drug addiction would do anything.
The queen followed the prince's wishes and just had one more woman in the backyard.
Although Fengyi was a ninth-rank official, the old lady was extremely happy. A royal wife was already above ten thousand people, as these were her own family.
Many people also wonder, what kind of family is the Zhi family?
The emperor's face was dark the whole time. The Crown Princess had only died a few days ago, and the body was still warm, but the Crown Prince was choosing a concubine. I don't believe that scholars would not be disappointed. You have to know that Shi Lang was the top scholar in the imperial examination during the time of the previous emperor.
After the marriage was granted, Madam Xie felt a little cold.
She did not regret asking Xu and Xie Tingting to enter the palace, because the marriage with the Liu family could not be arranged in the twelfth month, and if she had to, she would have to choose an auspicious day after the New Year.
The queen was determined to form an alliance with the Xie family. Even if there was not Xie Tingting, there were still Xie Wanwan, Xie Xiuxiu, and several other illegitimate granddaughters.
If this is true, it would be better to ask Xie Tingting to arrange a marriage. At worst, all the children born to Xu Yingrong (Xie Zhaozhao's stepmother Xu) will become abandoned.
Everyone was feeling heavy-hearted about this arranged marriage, and His Majesty let the Empress issue the decree from beginning to end, neither approving nor disapproving.
After the arranged marriage, he took over the business.
"The earthquake in Zhongzhou has touched everyone's heart. Many officials have made great contributions to the court. I cannot forget this, and the people should not forget it either."
"During this disaster, Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Xie Zhaozhao, spent all her dowry and donated 200,000 dan of grain she collected to the court free of charge to help the people survive the famine."
"Madam Gu has repeatedly kept a low profile and refused to be famous, but I cannot help but praise her. Madam Gu is righteous and can be a role model for women all over the world. Please accept the reward, Madam Gu—"
The entire hall was silent. Xie Zhaozhao donated 200,000 shi of grain?
Old Madam Xie, who was sitting next to her, looked at Xie Zhaozhao in surprise, only to see her eldest granddaughter in court dress, with her back straight, a calm smile on her face, kneeling down to listen to the praise.
"Reward: Madam Gu, you are exempted from kneeling before an official or me. Please report this to all government officials at all levels in Daqian!"
Xie Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked up and glanced at His Majesty in astonishment.
Emperor Hui was very happy. This little girl had been with Concubine Xi since she was a child. He had watched her grow up, and he had never seen any other expression on her face. She would also be surprised, right?
Girl, more surprises are yet to come!
Just as Xie Zhaozhao was about to say "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace," Emperor Hui spoke again.
"On his way to Dongli, a Johor merchant fell seriously ill due to acclimatization. Madam Gu gave all her money to save him. To thank her for saving his life, the Johor merchant gave her a boatload of 500 racehorses and pony horses. Madam Gu did not keep them for herself, but donated them all to Xiyuan Racecourse."
Xiyuan Racecourse, Royal Racecourse.
Xie Zhaozhao was a little confused. Emperor Hui was really good at making up stories.
But she knew that Emperor Hui was protecting her and she couldn't let Duke Cheng'en and his gang know that she had opened an offshore sea route.
"For the meritorious service of the Xie family in raising their daughter, I will give you a reward: a red-lettered iron certificate, which will be inherited by your descendants."
Xie Anfeng and Old Lady Xie were stunned for a long time. What was going on? Zhao Zhao was already married. She did a good deed, so she wanted to reward her parents?
Such a big reward?!
Seeing Xie Anfeng and Old Madam Xie in a daze, Elder Liu smiled and urged them, "Master Xie, Old Madam Xie, why don't you go and express your gratitude?"
Old Madam Xie and Xie Anfeng had just experienced the shock and disgust of Xie Tingting being named the Crown Prince's concubine. When they heard such a reward, they were extremely surprised.
Xie Anfeng walked up to Old Madam Xie and said excitedly, "Mother, it's true. His Majesty has granted our Xie family a royal seal of honor!"
Old Madam Xie was so excited that her hands and feet were shaking. She held Xie Anfeng's arm and brought the children and grandchildren of the Xie family to give Emperor Hui a great gift to express her gratitude.
The old lady of the Marquis's Mansion was feeling very upset. Why should I marry a daughter-in-law?
The mansion was struggling to make ends meet, but the third daughter-in-law was so kind that she gave 200,000 shi of grain to the court for free!
The 200,000 shi a while ago were not the usual 200,000 shi. If they were sold, they would definitely fetch millions of strings of silver!
People gave me so many horses, both prancing horses and racehorses, so each horse must cost at least several hundred taels of silver, right? Five hundred horses... what a spendthrift!
The old lady covered her chest with her hands. She wanted to set a rule for Xie Zhaozhao: Unfilial, unfilial, unfilial!
Tu lowered her eyebrows, feeling jealous and secretly sneering. She had married into the Gu family, but they rewarded her family? She could enjoy the glory for a while, and then she would return home to face her mother-in-law's wrath!
However, Emperor Hui had not finished yet. He smiled and said, "Reward: a red-lettered iron certificate of the Marquis of Pingyang, which shall be inherited by your descendants."
The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion was stunned. How could she have a share?
Hua Zisheng looked at the dazed look on the faces of the people in the Marquis' Mansion and reminded them with a smile, "Marquis Pingyang, old lady, and Marquis' wife, please accept the decree and express your gratitude!"
Gu Boyu, Gu Zhongyu, Gu Shaoyu, Gu Chengyan, the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, Mrs. Tu, Mrs. Lu and others knelt together to thank the emperor for his grace.
The old lady of the Marquis' Mansion: Amitabha, I can go to see the old Marquis in glory. The third daughter-in-law has earned a red-lettered iron certificate for the mansion!
Tu: Amitabha, even if the fact that Yan'er has a mistress is exposed, he won't be afraid of being beheaded, and his title can be kept for generations.
Gu Chengyan: Amitabha, even if Yingying is discovered by Uncle San, at most I can use the Danshu Tiequan, and she doesn’t have to die... Xie Zhaozhao was originally my wife, damn Yuanji! !
Xie Xiangxiang: What kind of shit luck did this bitch have? After all the hard work of Tingting turning over, she got the right to be exempted from kneeling. Even His Majesty is exempted from kneeling, let alone the Crown Prince's concubine, even the Queen doesn't have to kneel!
What kind of crappy merchant did I save? I was actually given two red-lettered iron certificates? Are red-lettered iron certificates just broken tiles? Are they so worthless?
Xie Zhaozhao: No matter which of the Xie and Hou mansions has problems, Gu Shaoyu and I will be exempted! Gu Shaoyu, you are such a shrew!
Today, no matter whether it is the ministers or the concubines in the palace, they are all envious, but they have nothing to say. Who can have such courage!
Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao, together with the people from the two prefectures, thanked the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor!
