I became an exiled convict after we got married

Chapter 46
The old lady is very concerned about entering the palace this time.

As soon as Wan Jinlan returned home, he went directly to Jinchun Hall.

The old lady asked carefully about the situation after entering the palace, and Wan Jinlan answered them one by one.

The next day, the palace issued two imperial decrees, one to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and the other to Prince Duan's mansion.

When the father-in-law who passed the decree came, all the people in the government had had breakfast.

"Empress Dowager Yizhi:

In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor said, I heard that Wan Jinlan, the daughter of Lord Zhen Guo, is beautiful and intelligent, with outstanding appearance, gentle and honest, and the Queen Mother is very pleased to hear that. Now that the king of Qi is suitable for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman to match.

When Wan Jinlan is waiting in her boudoir, it is a match made in heaven with the King of Qi. For the beauty of being a beautiful woman, I specially marry you to the King of Qi as the concubine.

All the etiquette is handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian, and a good day is chosen for the wedding.

This is it. "

The father-in-law who announced the decree smiled, "Miss Wan, accept the decree."

After Wan Jinlan received the order, everyone in the palace also stood up.

"Eunuch has worked hard on this trip, why don't you drink some tea in the mansion."

Shen Qing asked Aunt Cuiwen to give Xuanzhi's father-in-law a purse.

The father-in-law accepted it with a smile on his face, "You don't have to drink tea. The queen mother still needs our family, and our family has to go back to the palace. When His Royal Highness King Qi and Miss Wan get married, our family will have to come and ask for a cup of wedding wine."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "It must be."

"The empress dowager likes girls from the Wan family, and she gave her a special gift of Yu Ruyi, three sets of heads, twenty pieces of brocade, and one from the hot spring village."

The little eunuchs behind the father-in-law handed over the wooden plate covered with red cloth to the servants of the father-in-law.

After the people left, Wan Jinlan picked up the title deed of the hot spring village and looked at it. It turned out that it was in the north of the imperial city. It seemed that it was not far from the North Palace.

The second wife Lin's heart was sour, she felt that Shen's life was really good.

She was born in a merchant family, but she married into the government to be the eldest daughter-in-law.

With two sons and a daughter, it's okay for the son to be up to date, but for the daughter's marriage, there is nothing better in the whole house than King Qi.

Wan Qiuyu was in a daze.

In the past two days, she asked Aunt Zhao about Wan Jinlan falling off a cliff around Huayan Temple last year.

She was glad that the letter was delivered in time, otherwise, Wan Jinlan would not have anything to do with King Qi now.

Wan Qiuyu is gloating now because Wan Jinlan is destined to be a widow.

Wan Jinlan glanced at her casually, and saw Wan Qiuyu smiling at her with strange eyes, and she frowned slightly.

Wan Qiuyu stepped forward and said sincerely: "Congratulations to the third sister."

The atmosphere in the mansion was quite pleasant, but Wang Minghui, the queen's natal family, Wang Minghui's complexion was not very good when she received the imperial edict.

The Wang family fully supported King An, who was born by the queen, and the queen also got along with the Wang family and married Wang Minghui to King Duan, just to occupy the position of his concubine and prevent King Duan from getting help from his wife's family.

The whole Wang family knew why, and naturally Wang Minghui also knew why.As the one who was abandoned, how could she be happy?
Not to mention Wang Minghui, the other party involved in this marriage, Xiao Minghuan, was also not very happy.

He planned his own marriage. First, he fell in love with Wan Jinlan, who was married to King Qi; later, he fell in love with Song Yun, the prostitute of the Marquis of Wuning, who was married to the sixth prince. , he made a wedding dress for others in vain.

Now, the queen's niece sounds good, but it is completely useless to him!Moreover, Wang Minghui's reputation is still flawed.

Xiao Minghuan clenched his fists.

Concubine Wan Gui is not close to him now, which makes him very angry.

If the mountain does not come, he will go to the mountain.No matter what's inside, his relationship with the government must be close in front of outsiders.

Since the edict of bestowing marriage, Wan Jinlan's heart has settled down a lot.

Compared with the children of other aristocratic families in Kyoto, King Qi has a higher position and handsome appearance. He has a palace outside the palace, so he doesn't have to live with his mother-in-law, and there are no other elders in the palace. She likes such a husband and son-in-law very much from all aspects. .

Now that the marriage has been decided, she no longer has to think about what kind of marriage her grandmother will make for her.

After another half a month, it was the day of the palace examination.

Rao is such a big-hearted person as Wan Zhijing, he stayed up all night nervously the night before the palace examination.

For Wan Jinlan, she just played two games of chess with her grandfather, before it was time for lunch, Wan Zhijing came back from the palace.

Wan Zhijing still looked like he was wandering in the sky, and he felt like he was drifting when he walked.

The old man picked up his spear and stabbed at it.

Wan Zhijing let out an "ow" and shouted angrily, "Grandfather!"

The old man was very angry, "Come and play with me."

Wan Zhijing groaned in his heart, he is no match for his grandfather.

After it was over, Wan Zhijing hummed tiredly, but the previous anxiety also disappeared.

"Brother, how do you feel about yourself?" Wan Jinlan asked.

Fang Xiu, the elder brother of her good sister Fang Biqu, won three prizes in a row, and is also a popular candidate for the champion.

Anyang also said that the imperial concubine and aunt had all asked about Fang Xiu.

Since ancient times, there have been quite a few people who have caught their sons-in-law under the list.

Fang Yushi is a speech officer, and he is also a leader among the speech officers. Fang Xiu's marriage was not smooth, and since he won three yuan in a row, the threshold of the Fang family has become more prosperous.

Concubine Wan Gui also inquired about Fang Xiu, but there were some signs of it. Princess Anyang heard the movement, and went out of the palace secretly to meet Fang Xiu. Seeing Fang Xiu's "honest" appearance, he looked dull, and his heart was dead. half.

Wan Zhijing wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heartbeat slowed down after he came out of the palace.

"Should, it's okay." Wan Zhijing didn't talk too much, but the key point is that he really felt too good about himself, so when he came back this time, his steps were still trembling, and he didn't have a sense of reality.

After two days, it was time to release the list.

That day Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu went out together in the carriage early that day. They thought they had arrived very early, but they couldn't squeeze into the place where the list was posted.

Fortunately, the two of them had already made preparations and booked a private room in Wangjiang Building. Standing in front of the window on the third floor, they happened to be able to see the scene of the number one scholar and high school Jinshi parading the streets.

Wan Zhijing's servants had gone to wait in front of Chengtianmen's palace wall early, and when the list was posted, they saw the third line of Yijia, which was their young master's name.

One of the boy's shoes was squeezed out, but his mouth was grinning behind his ears, and he said excitedly all the way, "I got it, I got it, Tan Hua Lang, our young master is Tan Hua Lang!"

Wan Jinlan kept servants on the outskirts, and when the news reached Wangjiang Tower, Wan Jinlan and Wan Jinyu happily hugged each other.

Wan Jinlan didn't expect that her brother's success was better than his ranking in the provincial examination.

In Zhen Guogong's mansion, the old lady almost cried with joy.

The government is a general, but during the Taiping period, the status of literati was always higher than that of military generals. The old lady gave birth to three sons. Only the third son had a talent for reading, but he didn't make any achievements in the imperial examinations. Menyin, you can see your future at a glance.

The grandson of the family, the eldest son of the second family Lin's family is not bad. Although he is a Jinshi at the end of the top three cranes, he was admitted by the imperial examination anyway.

Now, finally, there is another grandson who makes her proud.

The old lady's heart is so relieved that she is about to fly.

If it wasn't for her getting old, she would have to watch the No. [-] Scholar Parade today.
