Chapter 365: The concubine is not yet a concubine
It was as if the mute button had been pressed on the scene, and the previous noise was completely gone.

Everyone in Duke Cheng's Mansion was stunned. Their heads were still buzzing as if they had been knocked.

The chamberlain who announced the decree smiled with an incomprehensible look in his eyes, "Why don't you accept the decree? Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the emperor's engagement?"

These words can be regarded as bringing back the sanity of everyone in Chengguo Palace.

Xu Muhua secretly gritted his teeth, knelt and moved two steps forward, raising his hands, "A daughter of the people thanked the Lord for his kindness. It is a great blessing for a daughter of the people to get the emperor's approval for marriage. How can she be dissatisfied? We are all so happy, father-in-law. Want to laugh."

"Yes, yes, this is a huge happy event! Look, I'm so dizzy from this surprise!" Xu's mother said, but her heart was as bitter as if she had eaten coptis!
...I really want to scold my mother! Why did the emperor, who was so good, suddenly propose marriage to Mu Hua, and also become the crown prince's concubine!

Pooh!
Others are curious about the status of the concubine, but they are not! She would rather Mu Huagao marry someone and become his wife than enter the royal family and become a concubine or a concubine in the future!
But no matter how dissatisfied I feel, I have to show happiness on my face.

"That's good, the emperor attaches great importance to this marriage, and said that there will be a reward when the wedding is held!"

Wedding, that is to say, the concubine can have a wedding when she comes in, as long as she does not cross the crown princess.

This is the importance paid to the concubine!

But Xu's mother and others felt that the emperor was going to turn them into a royal palace and put Muhua on the fire!

The guests who heard the imperial edict lowered their heads and looked at each other, seeing the same thing in each other's eyes.

When Sun Xuehe came back to her senses after hearing the imperial edict clearly, her first reaction was joy!

Especially after she saw Pei Shaorong's stunned face full of shock and pain, she felt even more happy. It’s as comfortable as drinking a glass of iced sour plum soup in July or August!
Ah Rong must be feeling very painful now, right? Hasn't she always claimed to be Xu Muhua's best friend? Didn't she swear that her friendship with Xu Muhua was indestructible?

What now?
Xu Muhua is also confirmed to be the crown prince's concubine. Although Xu Muhua came from a bad background, she couldn't help but meet a good person! She was brought back by the then Duke Cheng Guo, and she has already been included in the family tree. She is the eldest lady of Duke Cheng's mansion. Now that she has the eldest princess as her adoptive mother, her status is naturally noble.

If he enters the East Palace in the future, he will not be unqualified to compete with her as the Crown Princess!

Under such circumstances, can she still swear with her conscience that she and Xu Muhua are good sisters? Can she still treat Xu Muhua the same way she treated her?
Huh, Ah Rong had refused to let her enter the East Palace every word before. What he meant was that because they were good friends, she couldn't enter.

What now? Isn't her relationship with Xu Muhua better? But Xu Muhua became the crown prince’s concubine!
After the pleasure, Sun Xuehe couldn't control herself and became deeply jealous.

She lowered her head and stared at a certain spot on the ground without blinking. She clasped her hands on the ground so hard that she almost broke her nails!
Lu Yingzhu and Mo Ying looked at Pei Shaorong who seemed to be shocked with some worry, and had no intention of paying attention to Sun Xuehe.

Because of the imperial edict of marriage, the proper haircut ceremony seems to have changed.

Originally, they were here to watch the ceremony, but now they were here to congratulate Xu Muhua on becoming the crown prince's concubine.

Xu Muhua smiled on his face and cursed MMP in his heart. He didn't care about the eldest princess anymore and scolded all eighteen generations of the emperor's ancestors!
After the guests had all dispersed, in the front hall, the faces of Xu's mother and the old lady lost their joy and became sad. Xu Muhua's two uncles were sitting at the bottom with their brows furrowed. Even Xu Nan and Xu Jinyu had worried eyes.

Song Baotong scratched his head and was confused. Isn't it a good thing for the eldest cousin to be the crown prince's concubine? Why does everyone seem unhappy?
But she didn't dare ask.

A sister-in-law came to the Song family, and the eldest son's wife stayed there to take care of the two old people. The second sister-in-law of Xu's mother came.

Seeing this, she stood up quietly, called a few children over, and then left with them.

In this situation, she couldn't help or give any ideas, so let them discuss it slowly!

She also didn't expect that her sister-in-law's daughter would suddenly be accused of being married to the prince as a concubine.

She had heard a lot about the affairs of Duke Cheng Guo's house. In fact, she thought this was a good thing. Didn't she always say that the emperor was suspicious of Duke Cheng Guo in the past? Now that the marriage has been given to the prince, they are now a family. Isn’t it safe for the Chengguo Duke’s mansion?
But judging from everyone's looks, it seems they don't think so. Even a woman like her doesn't understand.

"This matter...it's a foregone conclusion, we might as well think in a better direction." After a long time, Xu Muhua's uncle said dryly.

Xu Muhua raised his eyelids and lowered them again.

Yes, it’s a done deal, what else can be done?
The emperor obviously had good intentions, and he didn't know what bad move he was holding back.

Proposing her to be married to the prince was definitely not for the benefit of Duke Cheng's government, it was definitely to deceive Duke Cheng's government!

Alas, I originally thought that she would avoid the plot in the book and would never enter the East Palace like in the book.

Unexpectedly, hey, the distorted plot was brought back to life!
Xu Muhua has to enter this East Palace, right?
"Mu Hua, what do you think about this matter? If you really don't want to, mother will write a letter and tell your father. Your father will definitely have a way!" Xu's mother said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Muhua hurriedly said: "No! Mom, please don't write to dad! At least it's not the right time to write to dad now."

"Then what should we do? Okay, now we become the crown prince's concubine! The concubine sounds nice, but she is not a concubine! Our daughter of the Xu family has never thought of being a concubine!" Xu's mother said angrily.

Even the royal concubines are not rare to them!
The wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to have deepened a lot. "What Minghui just said is right. The matter is a foregone conclusion. We can only think in the right direction. The imperial edict has been issued, and there is no possibility of changing it."

The emperor would not slap himself in the face, not to mention that the emperor must have his own purpose in doing so. If his goal is not achieved, there is no chance that he will give up.

It is impossible for Duke Cheng's Mansion to make trouble with the emperor over a marriage. This will only make people wonder whether the Duke of Chengguo is relying on military merit and the favor of the late emperor instead of the royal family.

They were also careless. So many things happened during this period, but no news came from the palace. They relaxed their vigilance, but they didn't expect that the palace was eyeing Mu Hua's marriage.

If he had thought of this earlier and arranged a marriage for Mu Hua earlier, the emperor would have been helpless.

Now that the imperial edict has been issued, it is too late to say anything. It is better to think carefully about what to do next.
