Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 333 Xiao Yi’s Marriage (4)
After soaking in a hot bath, Xiao Ze felt extremely warm and comfortable from the inside out.With his slightly damp hair loose and a loose mink robe of moon white tribute satin, he walked outside the inner room door and shouted loudly: "Ah Heng, come out and chat for a while."

The inner room was very quiet, no one answered Xiao Ze, and Xiao Ze shouted resolutely: "Ah Ze, I met Ah Yi today, he said that he has begged Princess Herong to speak for him, and the emperor has agreed to make an order married."

Sure enough, this sentence still worked, Du Heng immediately walked out of the room, and hurriedly asked: "Really, he really wants to marry his sister?"

Xiao Ze nodded and said: "Of course it is true. Since that day, Ah Yi has gone to Zhen Guogong's mansion several times, and now grandpa already treats him as his grandson-in-law."

Du Heng frowned and said, "Why didn't I hear my sister mention this matter yesterday?" Yesterday the old man brought his grandson and granddaughter to the palace to celebrate his birthday. Although Du Heng was busy, he took time to chat with Wu Jingzhen for a while, but Wu Jingzhen didn't even Du Heng almost forgot about this matter without revealing anything. He didn't want to hear Xiao Ze say that the emperor will give him a marriage soon. This progress is too fast.

This morning, when Princess Rong entered the palace to pay her respects, I mentioned this matter. I don’t know how she persuaded the emperor, but after Princess Rong left the palace, someone quietly told Ah Yi that the emperor had already agreed to this marriage. Then he will decree to canonize Ah Yi and marry his younger sister Jingzhen.

Xiao Yi's palace has almost been built, and the Ministry of Rites has also drawn up several titles for the emperor to choose from. It is said that he is very likely to be named King of Jinjun.Today's requirements for sons are very strict. Except for the crown prince, all the princes who are crowned kings are titled either Ke or Shen, Mi, and Zhen. Now Xiao Yi has the title of "Jin".How worried the current emperor is about his sons, he has to beat like this.

"Unexpectedly, my sister is still involved in the royal family." Du Heng said not very energetic.Hearing Du Heng's tone, Xiao Ze seemed to dislike the royal family of the Xiao family, and felt a little uncomfortable. He is also a descendant of the Xiao family.

"A Heng, not everyone in the royal family is a bad guy, there are some good people, don't you see that Ah Yi and I are pretty good." The cheeky Xiao Ze said with a smile.

Du Heng snorted softly, wisely not arguing with Xiao Ze on this issue.

"I don't know when my sister will leave the cabinet. Grandpa and elder brother gave me all of my sister's dowry in order to save me. If my sister gets married this year, it will be too late to equip the dowry." Du Heng murmured.

Xiao Ze said with a smile: "It won't be so fast. The prince's marriage will take more than half a year just for the three letters and six ceremonies, and the day must be chosen by the Qin Tianjian, and the most suitable auspicious day must be chosen. I guess It means that Ah Yi may not even be able to get married at this time next year. Ah Heng, you just need to add a lot of make-up to Sister Jingzhen. Don’t return the dowry as it is, it will be a shame. Just add another [-]% to the value of the dowry and give it to sister Jingzhen as a private house."

Du Heng thought for a while before he nodded, Xiao Ze thought more thoughtfully than him, if he just returned the dowry, it would be really inappropriate, and it would hurt the hearts of the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion.

"Okay, let's do it like this." Du Heng responded, and he was already thinking about what to prepare for Wu Jingzhen.

When Xiao Ze and Du Heng were chatting about the marriage between Xiao Yi and Wu Jingzhen, the queen in the palace was also thinking.Having been a queen for many years, she naturally has eyeliner around the emperor. Today, Princess He Rong went to the palace to propose to the emperor that Wu Jingzhen, Princess of Yijie, should be chosen as his concubine, and the queen began to think about it.

Wu Jingzhen's family background is excellent, but it's a pity that her background is not good, her parents both died in her infancy, this is a fatal flaw in the eyes of relatives and nobles.

Originally, the empress had selfish intentions. After thinking about it for two or three years, until Wu Jingzhen got older and hadn't settled on a marriage, she designed her to commit herself to the fourth prince, and then asked the emperor to grant Wu Jingzhen the fourth prince's side concubine to strengthen the four princes. The strength behind the prince.Therefore, under the intentional or unintentional operation of the queen, Wu Jingzhen is almost reaching her age, but no one has proposed marriage to her. This has become the biggest heart trouble for the old man and Wu Jingming.

Originally, the empress was still secretly complacent, and didn't want to suddenly kill Xiao Yi halfway, and wanted to marry Wu Jingzhen as a concubine, and the emperor also agreed, and it was decided that after the opening of the seal, she would decree to grant marriage and canonize Xiao Yi as King Jinjun. This really caught the queen by surprise, and her original arrangement was completely disrupted.

The Seventh Prince Xiao Yi is a person who has almost no sense of presence in the palace. His biological mother died young and his mother's family is not obvious, his appearance is not very outstanding, he has no literary talent, and he is not a good embryo for practicing martial arts. In comparison, Xiao Yi is simply too ordinary, so ordinary that no one can feel that he is a noble prince.

The queen can only see Xiao Yi two or three times a year, and she always takes a look from a distance.After all, Xiao Yi is a grown-up prince, and he is not born of the queen, so he has to avoid the suspicion that should be avoided.She never thought that Xiao Yi would step in and snatch the side concubine candidate she had prepared for her son.So the queen was very angry, and even felt resentful towards Princess He Rong.The queen said bitterly to her confidant nanny: "The girl who married out of the palace still manages the affairs of the palace all day long, and her hands are stretched too long, I am so mad at this palace!"

The queen's confidant is named Qin. She was originally the queen's nanny. She has been with the queen in the palace for many years. In her heart, she only has the queen and the prince born to the queen. Even the emperor is not as important as the queen with Qin nanny. She is only loyal to the Queen.

Qin Nanny hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, this matter hasn't been settled yet, maybe there is still a chance to turn things around."

The queen shook her head and said: "No, with Wu Jingzhen's family background, it is more than enough to be a prince and concubine, and her father and ancestors were all people who made great contributions to the court. Marrying Wu Jingzhen, the emperor is not happy to give a favor. Anyway, he doesn't pay attention to the incompetent Lao Qi. He uses Lao Qi to appease the Zhen Guogong's mansion, and makes the Zhen Guo Gong's mansion not be used by any prince. Minister, this abacus is brilliant!"

After many years in the palace, the queen is no longer the innocent and kind girl she was back then. Her heart has long been darkened, and her hands are covered with blood. In the harem, not fighting or fighting means death, but she did not die. She was also promoted from a concubine to a queen, this kind of mental trick is naturally unusual.So the queen quickly guessed the real reason why the emperor readily agreed to Princess Herong's invitation.

The queen knows her husband well, but she doesn't know all of it. Today, Xiao Yi is indeed used to appease the government of the town, but there is a deeper intention. The emperor does not want the crown prince or the fourth prince to get behind the government of the town. military resources.
