Chapter 175 Pressure from the Aristocratic Family
"I don't deserve it. The emperor and the prince are chosen by heaven and are protected by heaven. It is a favor from our ancestors that Xie Fu can serve the two masters."
"I've taken note of the county lady's kindness. By the way, my father has already prepared an imperial decree for Guard Xie's marriage."
"I thank the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's fine. However, I would like to remind the county lady that the ministers in the court may put pressure on the Xie family. I hope the county lady will not be affected."
"If anyone with malicious intent comes to harass you during this period, please feel free to come to me."
After hearing this, Yun Zhihan was also mentally prepared, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your help. The Xie family will not waver."
"I am relieved about this."
For the royal family, this marriage of the Xie family was not only a change in the court structure, but also a challenge to the status of the aristocratic family.
Once this incident sets a precedent, more ministers will follow suit, and the status of the aristocratic families in the court will be weakened.
Especially for a noble family like the Yang family, they might not be able to survive without marriage.
"By the way, where is Miss Bai Jin? I haven't seen her for a long time."
When Yun Zhihan heard the prince asking Jin'er, he felt very disappointed. He was really asking about something irrelevant.
"Your Highness, my daughter made a mistake and was confined to memorize her lessons. She can leave when she finishes memorizing."
"So that's how it is." Murong Yan smiled. He guessed what it was without asking.
After all, apart from Miss Bai Jin, there is probably no other woman who would dare to make such a big noise at the flower-viewing banquet at the Xie Mansion and be so arrogant.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. If the county lady has anything to do, please ask Minister Xie to notify me."
"Farewell to His Highness the Crown Prince."
As soon as Murong Yan left, Shuanghua arrived.
"Madam, here are this month's account books and money. Please have a look."
"Yeah." Yun Zhihan took a quick look and didn't care too much.
After all, Tongzi reported to her about Shuanghua every day, and she knew everything in the account book.
"Shuanghua, this is your indenture. From today on, you are a good citizen."
"Madam, what do you mean?" Shuanghua was a little surprised. Madam wanted to chase her away?
Yun Zhihan saw that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "Don't think too much, your marriage with Bo Chen has been decided, and I definitely can't let you marry into the Xie family as a maid."
"Therefore, I will return the indenture to you. You will be innocent and will not be able to be used against you in the future."
"Thank you, madam, for your help!" Shuanghua knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her three times.
It is feared that she will never be able to repay the madam's kindness to her in this lifetime. In the future, she will do her best for the Xie family and be a good wife to Young Master Chen.
"Get up." Yun Zhihan continued, "I know that the matter between you and Bo Chen has been a hot topic outside these days, and the people are also pointing their fingers at you."
"I hope you can withstand the pressure. If you are wronged in the restaurant, come back and stay for a few days."
Shuanghua was so moved that she almost cried. She shook her head and said, "Madam, Shuanghua is not wronged. I am already very lucky. The mouth is on someone else's body. I can't control what they say. I can't control it."
"No matter what happens, I will remember Madam's teachings and never do anything that would bring disgrace to the Xie family."
"it is good."
Yun Zhihan really liked this child more and more. Unfortunately, her humble origins and the fact that she lived in ancient times really buried her talent.
……
In the court hall.
The ministers were very dissatisfied with Xie Bochen's plan to marry a maid.
Firstly, the Xie family has a hereditary title, and Bai Chen is very likely the heir to the title. How many women dream of marrying a man from such a prominent family?
In addition, Yun Zhihan is a famous wealthy businessman in Shangjing. The Xie family is powerful and wealthy. If they do not marry into an aristocratic family, such a status would be wasted.
Moreover, many noble families were planning to marry their daughters to Xie Bochen, and some ministers even believed that even as a concubine, she could live a fairly wealthy life in the Xie family.
Xie Bochen's decision now has undoubtedly put an end to the daydreams of many aristocratic families, and they will not agree to it.
"Your Majesty, I feel that Guard Xie's marriage is inappropriate." Prime Minister Liu reported.
"Ahem!" The emperor felt that these aristocratic families really needed to be disciplined, otherwise the power of several families would be comparable to that of the royal family.
"My dear, what's wrong? Tell me now."
"Your Majesty, General Xie made great contributions when he was alive. Now, the Xie family has become a meritorious family. Only by marrying a more noble woman can the Xie family's loyal spirit continue. But..."
Without waiting for Prime Minister Liu to finish, Xie Bochen said obediently, "Your Majesty, I think what Prime Minister Liu said is absolutely right."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows. Could it be that this kid was going to go back on his word?
Prime Minister Liu: He figured it out so quickly?
Xie Bochen bowed and explained, "I am a military officer, and the Xie family is a family of loyalty and filial piety, personally appointed by His Majesty. The women of the Xie family should also uphold the spirit of loyalty and filial piety, and serve the Great Zhou for generations to come."
"And my fiancée Shuanghua has been with my mother since she was young. She and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together and she has never done anything to let the Xie family down."
"On the contrary, he has been helping his mother run the business outside, making the Xie family's life better and better."
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, is this considered loyalty?"
"Of course!" the emperor affirmed.
Bo Chen continued, "Miss Shuanghua has been taking care of my mother and me in the Xie family for these years, and she has never made any mistakes."
"Not only that, she has never disobeyed my mother's ideas. She even has the courage to advise me when I make mistakes and help me understand the problem correctly. Your Majesty, is this considered filial piety?"
"Of course!" The emperor already knew what he was going to say and was very satisfied.
"In that case, isn't the loyal and filial daughter that Prime Minister Liu mentioned my fiancée Shuanghua? Therefore, I think what Prime Minister Liu said is very reasonable."
"Yeah, I think so too."
When Prime Minister Liu heard this, his face twitched a few times and he was speechless for a moment. When did this kid become so eloquent?
Xie Bochen was very satisfied with his performance, thanks to which he consulted his elder brother before going to court, otherwise these people would be difficult to deal with.
Immediately afterwards, another minister stepped forward and reported.
"Your Majesty, I think Miss Shuanghua is good, but her background is too humble. It may have a bad influence on the education of future generations."
"Especially in terms of etiquette, she is not as meticulous, familiar and cultured as the young lady from an aristocratic family."
Xie Bochen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Master Zhen, that's wrong. Although Shuanghua was born in a humble family, she grew up in the Yun family. The rules and etiquette were taught to her by my mother and the nanny at home."
"Master Zhen, are you questioning my mother's ability? Or do you think my mother doesn't know the rules? Can't teach Shuanghua?"
