Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 465
Chu Ruifeng sat by Qiaoyun's side for a while and then left. It was getting late, and he had to go to court tomorrow, so of course he couldn't stay with Qiaoyun forever.The two reluctantly bid farewell, Chu Ruifeng took Qing Xiao and the others, quickly left the other courtyard, and returned to the princess mansion.

The princess mansion is also brightly lit, the eldest princess and Ding Guogong have not slept all the time, just waiting for Chu Ruifeng to come back.It is impossible for the couple to not know what happened outside. Although they have great confidence in Chu Ruifeng, the couple are still worried and restless walking and sitting in the study.

Chu Ruifeng went to the study to meet his parents, and after telling the story again, the eldest princess finally breathed a sigh of relief, "If you look at it this way, His Majesty really didn't take the previous matter to heart. That's good, save us Those who are worried all day long are always a family, and His Majesty will not make things difficult for us if he thinks about it."

After all, the eldest princess and the emperor are siblings, and they grew up together with deep feelings. Speaking of it, she is unwilling to believe that the emperor is really so ruthless.Ding Guogong and Chu Ruifeng glanced at each other, neither of them said anything unnecessary to spoil the fun.

"Princess, our family is going to marry a daughter-in-law. Now that His Majesty personally decreed the marriage, the princess will be very busy in the future. I, a big man, can't get involved in these matters, so I have to rely on the princess." Duke Ding said with a smile.

Originally, Duke Ding and the eldest princess didn't take the matter of going to sea too seriously, and they thought it was very good to be able to exchange for the will of giving a marriage by going to sea.

The eldest princess clapped her hands, "Oh, isn't it? This is the serious business. It doesn't matter, I have prepared a lot of things for Feng'er for marriage these years, dowry gifts and so on, just open the warehouse tomorrow and order them out. These I know everything, so you don’t need to worry about it. Feng’er will go to sea in March, Ziren, so you can help Feng’er prepare for going to sea.”

It is a foregone conclusion for Chu Ruifeng to go to sea, and now time is very tight, so he must hurry up and prepare things for going to sea.Although the main purpose of going to sea this time is to find medicines for alchemy for the emperor, but it is not possible for those many people to go to sea, just for this one thing, at least some goods should be prepared for sea trade.Otherwise, it would cost a lot to go to sea once, and the emperor couldn't pay for it, so they had to guarantee that they would not lose money.

The family of three discussed in the study for a while, but the voice of the watchman calling the watch sounded outside, "Ah, it's already the third watch. Well, let's discuss these things slowly, or go back to rest, tomorrow We have to go to court early in the morning." Hearing the sound of drumming outside, the eldest princess said hastily.

It was really getting late, so Chu Ruifeng said goodbye to his parents, and then went back to his residence to rest.In the early morning of the next day, Chu Kangsheng and Chu Ruifeng both wore court clothes and went out to the palace together.

This early court meeting on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month is the first serious court meeting after the year, and it is different from the first day of the new year.On the first day of the new year, all the ministers gathered to feast and laugh, but on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the government affairs that had been squeezed for more than half a month were going to be selected for discussion and disposal.Therefore, on this day, civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above in the capital must participate in the early court.

After dealing with some important affairs, the emperor ordered someone to read the imperial edict.The decree is naturally for Chu Ruifeng. One is to make Chu Ruifeng the Marquis of Zhenhai and the General Protecting the Country. Communication with overseas countries.

It is taken for granted that these are all high-sounding scenes, and it is impossible for the emperor to directly say that this is to let Chu Ruifeng go to sea to find him the medicinal materials for alchemy.Of course, all the ministers were well aware that it was impossible for the emperor to do such useless things, and there must be reasons behind it, but none of them raised any objections.

Of course, some Daliao nobles still have some opinions on the matter of the emperor making Chu Ruifeng the Marquis of Zhenhai.However, the imperial decree has been announced, and there is no room for redemption. Those people can only see that the Chu family has another Marquis, but they have no choice.

The second one, of course, is to grant a marriage by decree. For this, some courtiers are not too happy.The key point is that Chu Ruifeng is the fast son-in-law in the eyes of many people, but now he is snatched away by a little girl of unknown background, many people are not reconciled.But what if you are not reconciled?The emperor has made an order, and they can still make the emperor take it back?Besides, everyone in the capital has heard about the ups and downs. Naturally, the emperor did this to calm public opinion. Who would dare to come out to oppose it at this time?
In this way, the decree was read out, and there was no objection from the crowd.From now on, Chu Ruifeng is no longer the eldest son of Duke Dingguo, but the Marquis of Zhenhai, the Great General of Protecting the Country.

Both Chu Kangsheng and Chu Ruifeng knelt down and thanked the emperor for his kindness. After the emperor retired, a servant brought the order, along with Zhenhaihou's official uniform, seal and other things, to the Duke's mansion.Because Chu Ruifeng was about to go to sea, the emperor did not bestow the Marquis Mansion, but waited for Chu Ruifeng to return from the sea, and then rewarded him.Therefore, Chu Ruifeng still has to live in the princess mansion for the time being, and the servants sent the imperial decree to the princess mansion.

Of course, both the Princess Mansion and the Duke's Mansion wanted to celebrate such a festive event, and the Duke's Mansion also got the news.When the old lady heard that Chu Ruifeng had been named Marquis, she was so angry that she almost fainted.This is too unfair. Her children and grandchildren have nothing, but the other end is good. At first, they belonged to the eldest son, but now they belong to General Hou Ye. Why should they let them take all the benefits?

The old lady was not reconciled, so she naturally cried out to the old man, asking the old man to speak, asking Chu Ruifeng to give up the position of the son, and choose someone from the younger generation to take over.

However, what the old Duke is concerned about is not who should be given the position of son, but the emperor's decree to bestow a marriage.The old Duke opposed Chu Ruifeng's marriage to Qiaoyun, and he did not hesitate to force him to die. As a result, the emperor's frivolous will destroyed his plan.The old Duke was very angry, thinking that this must be the idea of ​​Chu Ruifeng and the eldest princess behind the scenes, and that this was using the emperor to threaten him.

The old man had already recovered a lot these days, but at this moment, he was so angry that he fainted again.The old lady was still crying, but she saw that the old man was motionless, "You don't like to listen to me, do you? You don't even pay attention to me." The old lady pushed her husband, but found that something was wrong.

"It's not good, the old man has fainted, hurry up and call for the imperial doctor." The old lady was frightened, so she called for someone to come.When the outside waiters came in and saw this, they quickly sent someone to invite the imperial doctor, and informed the Princess Mansion.

On the other end, someone came forward, strangled them, and beat their chest and back. After a while, the old man finally let out a sigh of relief, "I'm so mad." Everyone heard that, Only then did I feel relieved.
