Chapter 5

Zhengqing Hall is the palace where the emperors and ministers of all dynasties went to the early dynasties.At this time, Yu Nuoyang was dressed in a dragon robe, sitting majestically on the dragon chair, and glanced at the officials: "Lin De, declare the decree."

"Zha..." A father-in-law in eunuch uniform held the imperial edict, stood in front, and read out aloud.

"Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor Zhao said, Lord Wen's contribution to resisting foreign enemies is indispensable. He specially bestowed ten thousand taels of gold and thousands of acres of fertile land. However, the daughter of Prime Minister Tong has both virtue and talent. After repeated consideration, I will give Tong Keyi, the daughter of Prime Minister Tong Marriage to Prince Wen, we will be married at the end of the month, hereby."

"Your Majesty, please think twice..." Wen Xiu knelt in the middle of the hall, bowed his head and said, "The ministers of Jin Jin and Liang Tian are willing to reward all the soldiers. As for the marriage bestowed by the emperor, the ministers accept it, and please take it back."

"What? Prince Wen is dissatisfied with the daughter of Prime Minister Tong, but I heard from Concubine Xian that the third lady is gentle and gentle, and she is also the prime minister's daughter. She is also a close match to you in terms of status, or do you think my reward is too low?" Yu Nuoyang only thought that Wenxiu refused because he didn't want to get married, and tried hard to lobby.

But he didn't know that it was because he didn't want to marry the daughter of his enemy.

Wenxiu lowered his head and frowned, how could he accept such a marriage offer, but what if he didn't accept the decree from the superior emperor?
"Lord Wen?"

Unwilling, unwilling, Wenxiu accepted the order and said: "My minister accepts the order, thank the emperor for his kindness."

Seeing Wenxiu accepting the order, Yu Nuoyang showed a satisfied smile: "Back to court..."

As soon as the morning court, civil and military officials ran to Tong Qianming and Wenxiu, saying compliments.

"Prime Minister Tong, Prince Wen, congratulations..."

"Yes, congratulations..."

Wen Xiu gave the ministers a cold look, peeled away the crowd, and strode away with anger all over his body.

Tong Qianming is coping on the surface, but he is absent-minded. He is very happy about this marriage. After all, Prince Wen is a rare talent. If he becomes his son-in-law and uses it for himself, it will be of no benefit to himself. Harmful, but why, it was Tong Keyi, that lowly girl who gave the marriage. He didn't admit that she was his daughter, the third lady of the Xiangfu.

It's cold and windy outside, but Nuanshu Palace is as warm as spring.

"See Prime Minister Tong." Seeing Tong Qianming's arrival, the Tailin palace ladies all knelt on the ground.

Tong Qianming waved his hand: "You all go down."

"Yes, the servant (slave) will leave."

Concubine Xian is wearing a bright yellow and elegant long dress, her black hair is draped like a waterfall on her side, and she is lying sideways on the chaise longue, her posture is hugging and touching.

She had guessed a long time ago that when the imperial decree was issued, he would come here immediately to inquire, or in other words, ask the teacher to inquire about the crime.

Tong Qianming stared at the laid-back Concubine Xian, feeling more and more angry: "Why Tong Keyi?" He spoke in a tone that did not take her concubine's identity into consideration at all.

Concubine Xian ignored his anger: "Why can't it be Third Sister, Dad, don't forget, she is also your daughter."

"Hmph, you still know that I'm your father. I won't admit that a bastard is my Tong Qianming's daughter. Why isn't Xiner the one who bestowed the marriage? Xiner and Lord Wen are a match made in heaven and earth."

"The laws of the Hong Dynasty stipulated that women under the age of sixteen were not allowed to marry. The sixth sister is only 15 years old this year. Father, do you want to know whether it is illegal to break the law?"

"You...you..." Tong Qianming was so speechless by her words that he thought about it: "Yu'er? Isn't there Yu'er, she is eighteen this year, so she should be suitable? Anyway , I will never allow a bastard to marry into Prince Wen's mansion and humiliate the family."

Hearing Tong Qianming calling Ye Zhong, Concubine Xian's face was displeased. She stood up and looked directly at him: "Are you confused? Fifth Sister, she has already promised someone else. Do you want to ruin the marriage? If this is passed on, Going out will really embarrass the prime minister's mansion, besides, I think the third sister marrying Prince Wen not only did not humiliate the Tong family, it should be the blessing of Prince Wen."

Concubine Xian's words undoubtedly added fuel to the flames, making Tong Qianming furious: "Don't think that the emperor took a fancy to you at the beginning and conferred you as Concubine Xian, just to look superior, no matter what, I'm still your father. Without me, you are nothing, let me tell you, if Xiner was not too young, do you think you would be the one to take the position of empress?"

For this daughter, Tong Qianming has no feelings at all. He gave her the title of Miss Xiangfu, which is already a great gift. It was intended that letting her enter the palace as a concubine would bring him benefits, but he did not expect to change her. What came was this result.

With a cold snort, Tong Qianming left Nuanshu Palace angrily.

Concubine Xian sat down slumped, her heart was full of sadness, two lines of tears couldn't help but fall down, after all, he was also her own father, his words pierced her heart like thorns.

it hurts...

So what about the main room?The same is a daughter, why is there such a big difference?
complain?Not to blame, or, who should she blame?

Compared with the third sister, she is lucky, isn't she?She entered the palace and fled that home.

I hope that this marriage gift will enable Third Sister to escape from that fiery place and live a brand new life, at least she will not be bullied again.
