imperial concubine

Chapter 112 Disobey the decree
At this time, Su Wan slept the most peacefully since she was reborn. In her dream, there was no shadow of her father, queen, mother, nor the cry of her younger brother. This night, there was no dream, and this night was peaceful.

The sun is rising, and soon it will be a bright morning again.Su Wan got up from the bed, stretched out her hand to open the window, looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, felt the warm sunshine of the rising sun, Su Wan took a deep breath, the air was full of freshness.

With a creak, the door of Su Wan's room was opened, and Zhu Ru walked in with a basin of water.Seeing that Su Wan had woken up, Zhu Ru smiled and said, "Miss, you woke up very early today."

Watching Zhuru put down the copper basin, Su Wan said with a smile, "I slept very soundly last night. If it wasn't for the singing of birds outside the window, I'm afraid I wouldn't even wake up now."

Saying that, Su Wan walked to Zhuru's side to wash her face.And Zhuru waited on the side, and then she said to Su Wan: "If Miss doesn't like this bird, I will ask Coach Li to remove the bird's nest later, so as not to disturb Miss's rest."

There is a big tree outside Su Wan's window. There are several bird's nests in the book. Every morning when you wake up, there will be birds singing. Zhuru didn't notice this before. Bird nest removed.

Hearing Zhuru's words, Su Wan shook her head and said, "It's okay, these birdsong just added a bit of life to my small courtyard. If they were removed, it would be quiet, but there is no life at all."

Zhuru nodded yes, and then served Su Wan for breakfast.I don't know if it's because the plan has progressed, but Su Wan's mentality is better. Looking at the scenery in the courtyard today, it is actually a bit more beautiful than usual.

Thinking of this, Su Wan said to Zhuru: "The scenery is nice today, you can go down with me later, and take a walk in the courtyard! Recently, I always have some troubles, so I just take advantage of the beautiful scenery to relax. "

After changing her clothes, Su Wan took Zhuru around in her small courtyard. At some point, the flowers in the flower beds in the garden were in full bloom, and the green cypresses and pines in the courtyard were all dyed. The bright colors of the flowers all add a touch of color to the small courtyard.

The most commendable thing is that in this flowery scene, there is only a small building where I live, other than that, there are big trees and delicate flowers all around.Looking at the surrounding scenery, Su Wan forgot all her troubles, feeling aloof and independent.

At this moment, a rough woman came in hurriedly from outside the door, and said to Su Wan: "Miss, there is an imperial order for you in the palace, Lord Hou, please hurry to the front yard to receive the order!"

As soon as the rough envoy spoke, the feeling of being reclusive and independent disappeared completely.Su Wan looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard again, but she didn't have the feeling of being out of the world just now.

Su Wan shook her head, turned around and asked the woman, "What's the purpose? Could it be that the palace is planning to call me into the palace as a concubine?" As soon as the words fell, Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly thought of someone, and frowned tightly stand up.

If I guessed it right yesterday, I'm afraid that today's arrival should be the imperial decree requested by the fourth prince to make me a concubine.Come to think of it, the Fourth Prince probably doesn't have that much ability.Su Wan could only comfort herself in this way.

The rough envoy shook her head and said, "I don't know, but the master said that His Majesty has a decree for you. The incense table in the front yard is all ready, and I'm just waiting for you to come to announce the decree."

Hearing His Majesty's words, Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.Could it be that the fourth prince had moved Emperor Chongwen so quickly, and then asked for the marriage proposal?This is absolutely impossible!
Although Su Wan was puzzled, she could only follow the woman to the front yard.In the front yard, the incense table and the like have been laid out, and there is a futon in front of the incense table, and all the futons have been occupied before, only the futon in the middle is still empty.

This time the decree was for Su Wan, and only Su Wan could kneel on the futon.Even Su Wan's father, the current Mighty Marquis can only obediently stand behind Su Wan until the imperial decree is announced.

After all the people in the Hou's Mansion had arrived, they only heard the sound of three trumpet guns outside the mansion, and then a group of people walked past the main entrance of the Hou's Mansion carrying the mighty and solemn sign, followed by two people carrying huge gongs, and then There are four people riding tall horses. In the middle of the team is a maroon official sedan chair carried by four people, and at the end is the guard of honor.

The maroon official sedan chair stopped at the gate of Chengjinghou's mansion, and out of the sedan chair, an official wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Officials came out, with a white face and beardless, about 40 years old, holding a yellow imperial decree in his hand.Seeing Su Huaiyuan said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Hou, I've been waiting for a long time."

Su Huaiyuan seemed to be very familiar with that person, and said with a smile: "It turns out that Lord Qian came to announce the decree, please thank you." When Master Qian saw that he had prepared everything, he stopped being polite to Su Huaiyuan and said directly: "The imperial decree Here! Su Wan accepts the order!"

Su Wan and her family knelt on the futon in front of the incense table, and the servants behind them also knelt in a large area.Only Master Qian's clear but extremely majestic voice sounded:
"Following the fate of heaven, the emperor's edict said: Su Wan, the daughter of the mighty marquis, is intelligent and agile, dignified and shrewd, respectful and thoughtful, sensitive in nature, generous and honest, courteous and courteous. I am very pleased to hear that."

Master Qian continued to read: "Now the four princes' palace is in the right position and there is no owner. When it is time to marry, you should choose a virtuous woman to match with. Su Wan is in the boudoir of Su Wan, and the four princes can be said to be a match made in heaven. It is the beauty of a beautiful woman. , specially marrying Su Wan to the fourth prince as his concubine."

"All the etiquette will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian. The marriage will be completed on the fifteenth day of next month. This is yours!" That Lord Qian closed the imperial edict, and then said to Su Wan: "Su Wan, get up and receive the edict!"

Su Wan's complexion was pale on the futon, her hands were clasped tightly on her legs, the joints on her hands were already turning pale, and she was obviously restraining the anger in her heart with great strength.

Su Huaiyuan, who was kneeling behind Su Wan, took a slight look at Su Wan, then stretched out his hand to push Su Wan lightly, and said softly, "Wan'er, get up and receive the order! Otherwise, Master Qian will be angry."

Mr. Qian before the incense case turned a blind eye to Su Huaiyuan's petty actions.After all, the two were good friends above the court, not to mention that Su Wan at this time should not be able to react to being hit by such a good thing, that's why it happened.

After a while, Su Wan raised her head and her fists gradually relaxed. She looked up at Mr. Qian and smiled, then got up and took the imperial edict, threw it to the ground, and said coldly: "I will not accept this imperial edict." , whoever loves to pick up!"

The rest of the people were stunned, even Mr. Qian, who announced the decree, was stunned.No one has ever dared to disobey the decree, which is a serious crime of beheading; not to mention throwing the imperial decree on the ground, ignoring His Majesty's majesty as nothing, this is to confiscate the family and exterminate the whole family!

Su Huaiyuan on the side saw Su Wan throwing the imperial decree on the ground, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and picked up the imperial decree, slapped Su Wan on the face at the same time, and shouted sharply: "Bastard! You don't even have the imperial decree!" Can't hold it steady!"

Master Qian also reacted at this time, and immediately understood that Su Huaiyuan wanted to cover up the matter.That's why he immediately picked up the imperial decree and taught Su Wan so loudly.Doing this is just telling herself that Su Wan didn't do it on purpose.

If others might have turned around and left at this time, they would return to the palace and report the truth to the emperor.It's just that Mr. Qian and Wei Wuhou have always had a close relationship, so they didn't turn around and leave.

The two had a very good personal relationship. When Master Qian heard Su Huaiyuan's words, he immediately understood and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to be so angry. My niece is just too happy, and her hands trembled for a while, so she shouldn't be so harsh."

Su Huaiyuan and Mr. Qian are indeed old foxes who have been in the officialdom. Just two sentences have changed Su Wan's intentional throwing of the imperial decree into being too happy to drop the imperial decree. Although it is the same thing, the way it is said is quite different.

If it was a deliberate fall of the imperial decree, and Master Qian went back to report the truth, Emperor Chongwen would definitely sentence the mighty Hou to copy and chop; but if it was a mistake, even if Emperor Chongwen knew about it, he would just laugh it off. Not everyone can control such a big good thing liveable.

As he said that, Su Huaiyuan signaled the lady behind him to take Su Wan aside, and then said to Mr. Qian, "Mr. Qian came here in person for today's matter. If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely thank Mr. Qian well."

Based on the private friendship between Su Huaiyuan and Mr. Qian, if it was just to announce the decree, then naturally there is no need to make such a promise.But today's matter is too important, even though Su Huaiyuan barely covered it up just now, the emperor still depends on what Lord Qian said, that's why Su Huaiyuan made such a solemn promise.

Lord Qian said with a smile: "Naturally! Niece Xian was appointed by His Majesty as the Fourth Prince's Concubine today. Even if Lord Hou didn't say anything, I will definitely come to the house to disturb you for a drink."

As the two sang together, they eliminated a major event that could almost send the entire mighty Hou Mansion to death row.Some people who followed the decree didn't even know what happened just now.

Su Huaiyuan felt relieved when he heard Master Qian agreed.With him here, there will be no problems with His Majesty.Thinking of this, Su Huaiyuan said with a smile: "That's natural. When the little girl comes out of the cabinet, Mr. Qian must come earlier, and I will get drunk with you."

After laughing, Su Huaiyuan said to Mr. Qian: "The inner house has prepared tea, Mr. Qian has worked hard all the way, how about going in for a cup of tea and returning to the palace?"

Although Su Huaiyuan said that he was going to drink tea, those who often walked in the palace knew that this was actually a rule handed down by the eunuchs in the palace, in the name of drinking tea, they wanted comfort money.

Master Qian waved his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. It's just that His Majesty is still waiting. I won't stay here today. I will come back when my niece Jin Feng leaves the cabinet. Farewell."

After speaking, Master Qian turned around and left the gate of the Hou Mansion, and Su Huaiyuan sent him all the way out of the Hou Mansion.He didn't return to the mansion until he saw Master Qian boarded the maroon official sedan chair, ordered the guard of honor to return to the palace to report to His Majesty.

It's just that the smile on Su Huaiyuan's face no longer existed, but an extremely cold expression. He glanced at the people around him, and then said coldly: "Close the gate of the Hou Mansion. You all come in with me!"

Speaking of which, Su Huaiyuan walked into the main hall and sat on the main seat with a pale face.After him, the eldest lady, the second master, the third master, the Jiang family, the Yuan family and all the people from the Marquis Mansion all came in.

Seeing that everyone was here, Su Huaiyuan scanned the crowd like sharp knives, and then said: "You should be more strict about today's matter. If you let me know who dares to talk nonsense outside, I will let you He can't speak for the rest of his life!"

After teaching everyone a lesson, Su Huaiyuan's eyes immediately fell on Su Wan.At this time, Su Wan's imperial decree had been taken by the eldest lady.Da Furen was afraid that Su Wan would lose his nerve again and throw the imperial decree on the ground. At that time, no one could save herself again!
Su Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Su Wan's still dissatisfied expression, and couldn't help being even more angry in his heart, and said sharply, "Su Wan! Kneel in front of the hall!"
