Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 613 The princess went to court in anger (2)
The wedding banquet was very lively, but the next morning, dozens of officials jointly impeached He Jinghai, saying that countless people in his fief starved to death and froze to death, and that he did not provide disaster relief if he had money, but instead held a wedding banquet for his second son, He Quanda.

This group of people originally wanted to see He Qingfu's joke, but they didn't, so they took their anger out on He Jinghai.

This matter was suppressed by He Dong, but it damaged He Jinghai's reputation. He himself was fine. His master Li Bing was angry, and the old concubine the cow was even more angry.

Princess Niu wanted to return the fief to the imperial court a long time ago, so she seized the opportunity this time, not afraid of losing face, anyway, she had gone to court too early in order to withdraw Qin Lan's marriage for He Jingqing, so it would be no harm to do it again.

The next day, Princess Niu put on a court skirt and went to the morning court, and presented a memorial with a length of [-] words.

The approximate meaning of the memorial is: My family has posted nearly 40 taels of silver to the fief so far.My second son, Qing Lang, and my second daughter-in-law, Yan Niang, did not return to Chang'an this year to attend Quan Lang's marriage because of the fiefdom.My family did not do anything to offend the people in the fief. Since the court officials thought that my family could not manage the fief well, my family returned the fief to the imperial court and asked the imperial court to send officials to manage it.

She didn't mention extravagant and wasteful wedding banquets, just because she didn't want He Jinghai to be convicted of this crime.

"I know that your mansion has subsidized a large amount of money for the people in the fief. Your mansion has paid a lot for the fief, and I want to praise you."

He Dong would certainly not agree.The feudal system has just been established and cannot be abolished.

"Please the imperial court take back the fief." Princess Niu's resentment accumulated in her heart for several years, how could He Dong be able to resolve it with a few words.

She spent so much money and still didn't get a good reputation, even hosting a decent wedding banquet for her second grandson was attacked by the officials to ruin the reputation of her eldest son.

No one can bear this kind of thing. She, a widow without a husband, why should she continue to bear it.

She kowtowed heavily in front of everyone, until she passed out, and He Dong didn't let go.

After the old princess Niu woke up, she found that she was already in Murongying's palace. Murongying and He Yijue were sitting beside the bed, looking at each other with pity and worry.

"Has Your Majesty ever taken back my family's fief?"

Murong Ying sighed and said, "No."

Old Princess Niu looked deeply disappointed, she got out of bed and was about to leave the palace.

Murong Ying would not let Old Princess Niu leave, and advised: "Second brother and sister, I know you have been wronged a lot."

Niu Laowang wanted to cry but had no tears, he shook his head stubbornly and said goodbye, when He Jinghai came into the palace to pick her up, he followed him away.

He Jinghai was extremely sad, and asked, "Mother, why did you go to court without telling me?"

Princess Niu waved her hand and said, "I'll write a letter to your younger brother and younger siblings, asking them to withdraw to Chang'an." Then she said, "After you get married, our whole family will go to Nandi. I won't return until I die. Chang'an!"

Her husband He Xia's grave is in Ludi, not in Chang'an.After a hundred years, she just asked her two sons to send her body to Ludi to be buried with He Xia.

He Jinghai persuaded: "Mother, don't be angry."

Princess Niu looked at He Jinghai fixedly, and said: "Sir, I have selected a few good women for you, and you decide on one of them, and you will get married next month. If you don't listen to me, I will go to Ludi to give it to your father." Guard the grave!"

He Jinghai only nodded.

This matter reached the ears of Princess Deng, and she said with emotion to He Rong: "When I first got the fiefdom, I persuaded my second sister-in-law to leave Chang'an, a place where nothing happened. She thought that she could find a good marriage for her children and grandchildren in Chang'an. Just didn't leave."

In the past few years, Princess Deng followed He Rong to live in a city near Shanghai and Hong Kong. Although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, she can do whatever she wants without getting angry. It is much more comfortable than in Chang'an.

He Rong has always respected the old concubine Niu, the sister-in-law, and said: "Go and see the second sister-in-law and persuade her."

Princess Deng sighed, and said: "I will definitely go. It's just that no matter how much I say, it's not as good as His Majesty's order to punish those officials who impeached Hai Lang and let the second sister-in-law relieve her anger."

On the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, when He Jingmiao got married, everyone in the royal family went to Prince Qing's mansion to have a wedding banquet. This time the banquet was of the same level as He Jingxin's wedding.

He Dong, Murong Ying, and Princess Niu met at the wedding banquet.

As an eldest uncle, He Dong couldn't talk much to Princess Niu, so he asked Murong Ying to persuade her.

Princess Niu always referred to herself as a "courier's wife" and no longer called Murongying a "sister-in-law". All the royal daughter-in-laws present could see the alienation and indifference in her eyes.

He Jingyan carried He Jingmiao on the sedan chair, and then sent her to Zhang's residence with He Jingxin, He Yiyang, He Jinghai and others.

According to the regulations of the Ding Dynasty, only the princess has the independent princess mansion bestowed by the emperor. After the wedding, she does not need to live in the in-law's house, but lives in the princess mansion. The princess does not enjoy such treatment.

He Jingmiao doesn't have a princess mansion, and will live in Zhang's mansion after marriage.

The Zhang Mansion is in the outer suburbs of Chang'an, ten miles away from Chang'an Academy. It is a courtyard with five entrances. There is no back garden and no pond. It is relatively simple, that is, it has a large area.

In order to make He Jingmiao live more spaciously, Zhang Xiangfeng bought this house with 8000 taels of silver.

He knew that He Jingmiao would bring his servants, so he didn't buy servants and servants, but still used the six servants he brought from his hometown.

He Jingmiao's princess rank is from first grade, and everyone has to bow to her when she marries into Zhang's mansion, even Zhang Xiangfeng's grandparents have to kowtow to her while they are still alive.

The elders of the Zhang family didn't spend the Chinese New Year in their hometown. They traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an to attend Zhang Xiangfeng's wedding. They also had to kowtow respectfully to He Jingmiao and the royal family who sent her here.

The kowtow of the in-law's family made everyone nervous about the happy event.

He Jingyan excused the Zhang family from saluting, and stepped forward with He Yiyang and others to help the elders of the Zhang family, and then He Jingxin picked up Zhang Jiangliang and ran wildly in the yard, making the atmosphere lively again.

The Zhang family was happy for Zhang Xiangfeng when they saw that the royal family was not putting on airs.

After the ceremony, the couple entered the bridal chamber, the Zhang family and the guests all went to the wedding banquet, and after a while the couple came to pour wine.

The Zhang family, who had been waiting to see the bride for a long time, were first amazed by He Jingmiao's beautiful appearance, and then felt that she had a gentle atmosphere, which was completely different from the woman who was rumored to have squinting eyes and crooked words.

The people who spread the rumors spoke so embarrassingly about the down-to-earth princess with a beautiful appearance and a lively temperament that the Zhang family was worried for several days, which is really abominable.

Zhang Xiangfeng was very proud of receiving the envious looks from his cousins, and he felt that he should treat He Jingmiao well.

After the wedding banquet was over, He Jingyan and the others returned home.

He Qing and Kong Ye waited anxiously in the mansion, and learned from the brothers He Jingyan that the Zhang family was easy to get along with, and that He Jingmiao made no mistakes in the ceremony and serving wine, so they let go of half of their hearts, and the other half of their hearts had to wait for He Jingmiao three times. Come back later.
