Reborn ten times, she is the real daughter of the Marquis Mansion and she doesn't pretend anymo

After the autumn ploughing, Xiao Beichen returned to Beijing, and the news of the emperor's coming out of seclusion was also spread in time.

Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo looked at their third senior brother, who was full of energy and looked as if he was several years younger. They knew that he had a very happy and satisfying trip out of the capital.

Thinking that their seventh senior brother would also be returning to Beijing at the same time, they silently retreated and turned around.

"Third Brother, Ninth Brother and I will go check out the situation of winter storage in the four realms." Yun Tang found a legitimate reason and prepared to leave quickly.

"Hey, don't worry, I've brought you some local specialties." Xiao Beichen didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Xiao Tang'er's reaction, which seemed like she wanted to fly away immediately.

Seeing Yuntang was still walking, he hurriedly said, "Minghua and Mingxi are about to reach marriage age, why are you running away as their junior master?"

Yuntang then realized that Third Brother came back at this time just to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for his daughter, otherwise he would never have thought of coming back at all, right?

But Minghua and Mingxi’s birthdays are only one month apart, and their coming-of-age ceremony will be at the end of the month and next month, so it would be really difficult to leave at this time.

When the emperor came out of seclusion, the first thing he did was to go to the imperial study to listen to his two sons' reports on state affairs.

When Empress Xu heard the news, she quickly sent someone to invite the Emperor to the palace to discuss the princess's coming-of-age banquet and the prince's engagement.

Empress Xu already knew that the Emperor had arranged a marriage for the Crown Prince with the legitimate daughter of Duke Jingguo, who was the Emperor's junior fellow apprentice and childhood friend, and had only one daughter.

Although Empress Xu regretted that the Crown Princess could not be chosen from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, she was also very satisfied with the Crown Princess chosen by the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion.

That is the military power of the entire northern territory.

In terms of power today, the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion is actually slightly inferior to the Duke Jingguo's Mansion.

She was unwilling at first, but her father and brother warned her that Gu Chengfeng was the emperor's study partner, they had been friends since they were young, and they had gone to the East Territory to study Taoism together for more than ten years.

With these levels of relationships and the level of closeness and favor, the Xu family can never catch up even if they flatter him. So don't worry about things that cannot be worried about.

Not only did it damage the relationship between the emperor and the empress, but in the end it was the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion that was harmed.

Her father and brother had always told her that as long as Che'er was the crown prince and it was Che'er who would ascend the throne as emperor in the future, the position of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion would be secure even if they did nothing.

On the contrary, the more stable your position is, the more low-key and content you should be.

The emperor they chose to be loyal to was not an ordinary prince, but the Heavenly Master Emperor who came from a Taoist temple, so they could not follow the rules of ordinary royal families.

It was also because of these warnings that Empress Xu was able to firmly sit in the Imperial Palace and was even waiting to become the Empress Dowager.

Empress Xu was in a very good mood when she thought about the prince's appointment as his consort.

But I heard from the Emperor that the Crown Prince will only marry one Crown Princess, and no other women will enter the Eastern Palace.

He also said that since ancient times, all troubles within the family have been caused by chaos in the harem, and his heirs do not need to have many wives and concubines to compete for favor and power with others and disrupt the government.

Empress Xu was so angry that she was speechless. She wanted to refute but then she thought of the Emperor's ruthless purge of the palace...

In the end, she didn't dare to say anything more.

Over the past decade, the emperor has always made decisions on his own, never consulted with anyone, and never trusted the harem or royal relatives. He has always relied on his master.

As the queen, she only had the power to manage the palace, but she had no qualifications to make decisions for the princes and princesses.

I also heard from the emperor that the same applies to other princes. In the future, they will only have one principal wife, and anyone who wants to take a concubine will be directly demoted to the rank of a prince.

When Empress Xu saw that all the princes followed the same rules, she felt more balanced and the matter was settled.

Soon, the news about the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace spread like the wind. Everyone was shocked to hear that the Crown Prince would not take concubines and that the Eastern Palace would only allow one woman.

And those noble ladies who were waiting for the prince to choose a concubine or even dreaming of entering the Eastern Palace themselves, suddenly burst into tears.

Two days later, the Duke Jingguo's Mansion and the Duke Weiguo's Mansion returned to Beijing one after another.

Taoist Master Yun also returned with the disciples and young men from Yunshang Temple. Yun Xuangang made a special trip to the northern border to pick them up.

Yun Xuanwei sent the disciples of Qingfeng Temple back to the temple first, and then rushed back to the capital.

After that, there were banquets held in the palace one after another to celebrate the coming of age of Princess Minghua and Princess Mingxi. After coming of age, they could set up their own residences.

It’s just that they will live in the palace until they get married, and after the princess’s mansion is completed, it will take time to start repairing and decorating it.

At their coming-of-age ceremonies, the emperor also issued an imperial decree granting them marriage.

Princess Minghua was married to Chen Jun'en, the eldest grandson of the Minister of Personnel. Chen Jun'en was also the prince's companion. He took the imperial examination this year and will take the imperial examination next spring.

As the grandson of the Minister of Personnel and the prince's companion, he has now passed the imperial examination and been granted marriage to a princess. His official career is entirely arranged by the emperor, and whether he passes the imperial examination or not is just icing on the cake.

Chen Junen was always by the Crown Prince's side, and had known the princesses since childhood. He had informed the Crown Prince long before he had chosen Princess Minghua.

Mingxi, as the legitimate princess, was married to Lin Changsheng from General Lin's mansion.

Lin Changsheng was originally the son of a military general who was obsessed with martial arts. Later, he mixed into Xiao Ye's circle of friends and had the opportunity to learn Taoism.

There were also more opportunities to interact with the boys' sisters, including a few princesses.

Lin Changsheng was chosen by Princess Mingxi herself. The two of them had fallen in love with each other a long time ago. However, considering Lin Changsheng's age, he had not yet considered marriage, so he was just waiting for the marriage to be granted.

Lin Changsheng is the nephew of the second wife of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

When the Second Lady saw her nephew marrying a princess, she became worried as she thought about her own eldest son, who was the same age but still had no marriage.

Jiang Yanyu is only two months younger than Jiang Yanxuan. Jiang Yanxuan is almost going to be a father now, and he has also passed the imperial examination, so he will have the opportunity to enter the officialdom next year.

Jiang Yanyu is now obsessed with learning Taoism. He had been studying hard, but he fell behind. He had promised to seize the opportunity to take the imperial examination this year, but...

The second wife became even more worried when she thought of this.

Unexpectedly, the imperial edict granting marriage arrived at the Yong'an Marquis Mansion the next day.

Jiang Yanyu is betrothed to Lan Wei, the eldest daughter of the Lan family in the southern border, and the wedding date is the 18th of winter month.

Lan Wei's birthday was at the beginning of winter, so she was sixteen when she got married. Jiang Yanyu is also just nineteen this year, so they are a perfect age.

As a son of a marquis and a military family, marrying the daughter of a merchant seems like an unlikely match.

But this merchant's daughter is the legitimate daughter of Lan Jue's eldest cousin, and she is equally honored as she has the emperor's decree to grant her marriage.

Although the marriage was arranged by the Emperor, they fell in love with each other at several banquets in Yuntang's mansion.

This time, the Lan family brought all the children to the capital. Except for the younger ones who came to play, the older ones came to look for marriage partners in the capital.

Xiao Beichen also knew about this.

But Xiao Beichen did not arrange a marriage casually. You Yuntang was in the Princess Protector's Mansion next door, and Chenghe County Princess also held a banquet.

Nowadays, all the powerful people in the capital know that the Nanjing Lan family is the maiden family of Princess Chenghe, so no one underestimates their status.

It’s just that no one looks down on it, and no one comes up to look at it either.

Those who have legitimate sons want to see Yuntang, and those who have legitimate daughters are looking forward to the canonization of the Eastern Palace, the Qi Wang and the Yan Wang...

However, these families with many ideas are destined to just think about it.

The Crown Prince's Eastern Palace only has one legitimate daughter of Duke Jingguo, and the imperial edict clearly prohibits the taking of concubines.

The Emperor refused to give any information about the marriage between the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Yan, and others had no way of finding out.

Princess Minghua and Princess Mingxi, who had just reached the age of 15, also got engaged.

Of the young masters and young ladies from the Lan family who came to the capital, Lan Jin was betrothed to Xiao Rou, the second daughter of Prince Chengyang, and Princess Jiarou of Jiarou County, while Lan Wei was betrothed to Jiang Yanyu, the third son of the Yong'an Marquisate.

Lan Jin and Lan Wei are both children of Lan Jue’s eldest cousin.

Lan Xin from my second cousin's family will be coming of age next year. She might be married to Gu Yining, the second son of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion. The marriage is scheduled to take place in two years.

And those young men, seeing arranged marriages and engagements happening one after another, would rush home to ask their mothers to arrange for them to marry the person they liked.

Yuntang had discovered the little thoughts of several boys as early as the Lantern Festival night, and only then did she realize that she had inadvertently become a matchmaker.
