Chapter 502
Li Ruoyu also did not expect that the empress would bestow such grace.

"Congratulations to Liu Niang, your wish has come true."

Xiao Yan's voice sounded beside him, and Li Ruoyu recovered from the stupefaction, and quickly knelt down and thanked him: "My lady, thank you, Lord Long En!"

"What about you?" The Empress asked Xiao Yan again.

The line of sight in the hall silently divided into two waves, one wave fell on Xiao Yan, and the other wave looked at Fourteen and Zuo Qiuyue who were sitting on the seats.

"His Majesty……"

"How old are you this year?" the Empress suddenly asked.

The fourteen fingers on the seat shrunk and looked at Zuo Qiuyue.

"Return to Your Majesty, I just turned 16 after Chinese New Year."

"Sixteen, it's time to say goodbye." The empress smiled and said, "I will reward you with a daughter-in-law."

The whole hall was stunned immediately.

Li Ruoyu nearby and Gu Yunzhang far away looked at Xiao Yan at the same time.

This New Year's Eve banquet was really exciting, and everyone only said in their hearts.

"Your Majesty's favor, I am very grateful." I saw Xiao Yan bowing calmly and saluting, "But my parents have already arranged a marriage for me, and they will officially marry after the crowning ceremony."

The Prince of Henan is actually engaged!

Xiao Yan's answer caused a silent turmoil in Linde Hall, no less than the Empress' decision to bestow a marriage.

Not only because he is already engaged, but he answered in such a way that he was rejecting the Empress in public and blatantly disobeying the holy will!
In the hall, there are courtiers who have been in the court for most of their lives. After the empress came to the court, they gained more and more power in the court.

The last person who dared to openly disobey the holy will was Henan King Zuoqiu Yue, his father.

The difference is that Henan King refused bluntly at the beginning, but now Xiao Yan is more tactful, calling a "fiancée" as a reason for refusing the marriage.

The last time Zuoqiu Yue refused to marry, she was directly thrown into prison.

This time Xiao Yanzi followed his father's footsteps and did the same thing, it depends on how he ends up.

"Report to Your Majesty." Zuo Qiuyue walked out of the seat and walked all the way to the center of the hall, "A Yan grew up with a childhood sweetheart. The minister and the fourteenth mother saw that they were childhood sweethearts, and made a marriage contract for them two years ago. .”

"Really?" the Empress asked with a normal expression, "Whose daughter is engaged to Ah Yan?"

Li Ruoyu and Gu Yunzhang looked at Mei Zhixue who was sitting behind Fourteen almost immediately.

"Come." Fourteen got up from his seat, smiled and reached out to Mei Zhixue, "Let Your Majesty take a look at you."

"Yes, aunt." Mei Zhixue generously handed her hand to Fourteen, and followed her towards the center of the hall.

She is wearing a light red palace dress today, a white silk shirt, a light crimson skirt with Baohua pattern, a transparent gauze cage skirt, and painted Yunxia Chiqi Wat head shoes, and a light peach red painting on the outside. Outerwear with folded branches pattern.

Wearing a ponytail, light wine smudge makeup, five-petal peach blossoms are painted on the forehead with the same color rouge as the outer dress.Almond-eyed glances, lotuses grow every step of the way.

Recipe, Shining,
"My daughter Mei Zhixue, I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Mei Zhixue bowed profusely, with standard etiquette and a graceful manner.

"Mei's daughter?" The empress seemed to recall something, "raise your head and let me see."

Mei Zhixue looked up.

"Who is your grandfather?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, her grandfather is Duke Mei." Zuo Qiuyue answered for her.

As soon as the word "Mei Gong" came out, it caused a commotion.

"Grandfather, who is Meigong?" Gu Yunzhang asked his grandfather Gu Qingshan.

Gu Qingshan only sighed lightly, and said: "You were still young at that time, I will talk to you when I go back."

Back then, the third son of King Yu was imprisoned in Yeting Palace because of his father and brother's misfortune, and was framed by others to murder His Majesty with Rensheng.If Mei Zhixue's grandfather hadn't stood up and cut his heart to prove her innocence, where would there still be the Henan Wangfu, which is so beautiful today?

So it turned out that this little lady who entered the palace with Princess Henan was actually the granddaughter of the late Mei Gong.

Xiao Yan's engagement to her is understandable.

but……

Some well-informed people immediately thought of another thing.

Mei Xingzhi walked out from the seat behind the eldest grandson Jingxu, and came to Mei Zhixue under the eyes of everyone who were either surprised or puzzled: "Your Majesty, the marriage contract between my sister and the prince of Henan was decided by the minister. .”

"My mother died of illness many years ago, and I was worried that my sister was alone in Shendu, so I took her to Huangliang to settle down together. I never thought about encountering bandits, but thanks to the help of Princess Henan, Zhixue was able to get out of trouble safely. Later, the two families often Zhixue and Shizi met when they were young and grew up together."

"Two years ago when I knew Xue and Ji, I decided to make a marriage contract between her and the son."

After the Mei family's old doctor Mei passed away, Mei Xingzhi and Mei Zhixue's father and uncle were all of mediocre ability, so after these years, the reputation of the Mei family in the capital of the gods is no longer comparable to what it used to be.

Mei Xingzhi lived in Huangliang for a long time, and unexpectedly assigned his younger sister to the Prince of Henan.

But he himself became the first official under the command of Sun Jingxu, the king of Huainan.

The Mei family, there is a potential for a comeback!
But in a short time, these old ministers present have already sorted out the context clearly.

Mei Xingzhi should not be underestimated.

……

three days ago.

Ma Liangyue and Ma Decao arrived at Shendu on the evening of the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. Kang Simu, who arrived a few days earlier, picked up people with Lin Er and took them twenty miles outside the city.

Kang Simu brought the results of the audit of the five major camps, as well as the news that Cai Ting was sentenced to be dismissed and beheaded for embezzling the Mexican military salary.

Before the result came out, he voluntarily confessed some of his crimes, and offered all his wealth to pay for the crime.Meng Changhuai urgently sent the situation to Fourteen within eight hundred miles, and attached a private letter of his own to intercede for Cai Ting.

After Shisi considered it, he wrote back: As long as Cai Ting did not commit the crimes of Cai Pang and Cai Qinhu, Meng Changhuai could be given a lighter punishment.

After Meng Changhuai received the reply of the fourteenth, he changed the sentence of Cai Ting to exile in southern Xinjiang.

As the official staff under Zuo Qiuyue's command, Kang Simu naturally settled down in the Henan Palace after entering the capital.

The Ma Decao and Ma Liangyue sisters were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to Shisi, so they proposed to live in their own courtyard.

The daughter-in-law was going to live elsewhere, and Kang Simu naturally wanted to follow, so he came to Shisi to discuss with Zuo Qiuyue.

"Hey, have you received Mrs. Sister-in-law?" Lin Jiu and Kang Simu met at the gate of the main courtyard.When a bachelor meets a married man, he will definitely joke: "Where is the person? After finally getting someone, you are willing to let go?"

"Of course I don't want to." Kang Simu didn't hide from his teasing, and said openly, "So I came to find the prince and concubine, and asked them for instructions. Let's move to live in our own house."

Kang Simu had been operating in Shendu for many years before, and most of the property was also here, so naturally there was no shortage of places to live.

"It's not easy to see you as a busy person."

"Then what can I do, my life is bitter." Lin Jiu lamented, "I'm not like you brother, I can't envy you."

"Why did you two come here together?"

After staying in the room for a long time and getting bored, Shisi and Zuo Qiuyue came to the courtyard to exercise their muscles and muscles. Just after the end, they saw Lin Jiu and Kang Simu coming.

"Have you brought Liangyue back?" Fourteen asked Kang Simu, "Where is he?"

Lin Jiu took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Zuo Qiuyue.

Kang Simu was telling Fourteen that he wanted to live with Ma Liangyue, Zuo Qiuyue held the unfolded letter paper in front of Fourteen.

There are only a few lines of words on the paper: New Year's Eve banquet, gift to all families for marriage.
