Rebirth: Business Queen

On June 18, the twenty-fourth year of the Shengxi Dynasty, Emperor Xuanyuan Aotian died, and the throne was succeeded by Crown Prince Xuanyuan Jinxing. Three days later, he ascended the throne and changed the country's title to Shengde. At the same time, it was ordered to marry Xiao Yao, the daughter of the right minister Xiao Chengguang.

The eighth day of the eighth lunar month of the Shengde Dynasty is an auspicious day for marriage.

In the prosperous and prosperous capital, the ten-mile Chang'an Street is covered with red carpets, and red lights are hung at the door of every household.

On the Chang'an Street, however, the crowds were surging, shoulder to shoulder, and the voices were full of people, and the excitement was unprecedented.

"Look, look, the sedan chair is here, hey, you've squeezed me!" Zhang San, a passer-by, shouted to a person behind.

Looking forward, I saw a red sedan chair with eight people in red clothes. The top of the sedan chair was inlaid with a pearl, emitting a dazzling light. The four corners of the sedan chair were also inlaid with a pearl. With big red silk flowers. On the four sides of the big red sedan chair, there are golden 囍 characters written on all sides.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I heard that Miss Xiao, the daughter of the Right Minister Xiao Chengguang, is an ugly **** with a red face and a white face. She looks like a grimace. How can the emperor marry such a person as his wife!" Li Si Apologize to Zhang San and said to another friend Zhao Wu suspiciously.

"Shh, keep your voice down, Miss Xiao is about to become our empress!" Zhao Wu hurriedly pulled at Li Si and whispered, although he also had doubts.

"What are you afraid of, didn't the emperor decree that now everyone has the "freedom of speech"? You can say good or bad!" Li Si said to Zhao Wu indifferently.

"That's right, I also heard my aunt's brother-in-law's sister-in-law's nephew say that this young lady Xiao is not good-looking, but has a strange temper, is arrogant, defiant, and doesn't even know a single big character. And our emperor is gracious and kind, A good emperor who is diligent in government and loves the people, how can a person with a bad temperament like Miss Xiao become our queen, how can she be the mother of the world?"

"That's right, that's it!" Everyone echoed.

"However, I have heard that before our emperor was not taken seriously by the previous emperor, our life was very poor, we were beaten and scolded every day, and we were called like a servant, and we didn't look like a prince at all. , he took the initiative to help the emperor, and then gradually brought him to the front of the first emperor. In order to repay the favor of the right minister, the emperor took the initiative to ask to marry the Xiao family who did not marry until he was eighteen years old. Ugly daughter!" A thin man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks said mysteriously to a group of people who were turning around him. And he showed a sinister and successful smile in a place where others could not see it.

"Ah, Prime Minister Xiao is also a good official who is honest and upright, so how could he repay his favor and let the emperor marry his useless daughter, you know, let alone the emperor, even ordinary people don't want to have his daughter. !" A quite righteous scholar was fighting for the emperor.

"That's right, that's right!" The people around him echoed what he said.

"If you want me to tell me, Miss Zhang, the daughter of the Left Prime Minister, I heard that she is amazing in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is beautiful in appearance, gentle and virtuous, elegant and dignified, our emperor should marry such a person. Such a peerless woman can match our emperor!"

"Hey, the emperor can't do anything about it, he is a kind-hearted person who repays his kindness, and now that Xiao Youxiang is powerful and powerful, even for the people of Nanyang, he has to appease Xiao Youxiang. Ah!" The thin man said in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's so annoying. I thought Xiao Youxiang was a good official, but he turned out to be a traitorous villain!" The scholar said angrily.

"And I also heard that Miss Xiao, the daughter of the right prime minister, and Miss Zhang, the daughter of the left prime minister, are still good friends. It's a handkerchief. How can you say such two people become good friends!" Another person said.

"It's because Miss Zhang is a good person. Seeing that Miss Xiao has no friends, she will take the initiative to make friends with her!"

These people spoke louder and louder, one after another, as if they were afraid that the people on the street would not hear them.

"Miss, these people are too much!" A little **** the left side of the sedan chair blushed with anger.

"Don't be angry, Zhiruo, don't worry about what they say!" The person in the sedan chair said, she wore a phoenix crown and a robe, and sat upright in the sedan chair.

"However, the young lady is obviously such a good person, and the master is such a good official, yet they are called such a person!" Zhi Ruo was still angry.

"Okay, today is my big day, don't be angry!"

"Miss..." Zhi Ruo stomped her feet and didn't speak any more.

"The decree has arrived!"

A father-in-law with a whisk shouted sharply.

The soldiers guarded behind them, and the battle was huge.

"Miss, why is there an imperial edict at this time!"

"I don't know, go down to receive the order!" Xiao Yao took the phoenix crown out of the sedan chair, knelt down to receive the order, all the people on the street quieted down and knelt down to listen to the order.

"Long live, long live, my emperor!"

"Fengtian Chengyu, the emperor's edict said: Now I have found out that the right minister Xiao Chengguang colluded with the rebel Xuanyuan Jinchen to force the palace to murder the former emperor. The marriage with Xiao Yao, the daughter of a criminal minister, Xiao Yao was sent to prison and retrial at another day. Tomorrow at noon, all the Xiao family except Xiao Yao will be beheaded at the Ming Palace Gate. Imperial decree!"

"Long live, long live, my emperor!"

Xiao Yao didn't wait for the **** to complete the inspection of the imperial decree, his mind was already blank, and he knelt there and didn't move.

"Emperor Li, did the emperor make a mistake? Isn't today a happy day for the emperor and my young lady? How come it has become a rebellion by the master!" Zhiruo asked Eunuch Li loudly.

"Presumptuous, come here, take them down!" Eunuch Li shouted loudly.

"Miss, what should I do, Miss!" Zhi Ruo shook the motionless Xiao Yao, without shaking a few times, the head cover fell off, Xiao Yao's original white face is now pale, while the other half is red Yingzi , half white and half red, looks particularly scary.

"Ah, ghost!" I don't know who screamed, and suddenly picked up the egg in his hand and slammed it down, one or two, and the vegetable leaves were picked up, and the eggs were all smashed up. Those Xiao Yao's bodyguards and all his bodyguards didn't have time to stop them.
