Chapter 80

080 emperor gives marriage

Under the exclamation of the people, the old lady fell back and completely fainted.

Mother Gao's body was found by a curious servant girl. According to her, the little brother who delivered the water pulled the water truck out of the heavily guarded temple in the middle of the night and told the gatekeeper that mother Gao stayed in the yard to accompany the second young lady.

But the next morning, there was still no shadow of mother Gao. The servant girl couldn't help it. She had to dare to explore in the yard. She was frightened and found the unimaginable and miserable body of mother Gao lying on the ground.

Hearing this, Shen Xinzhi hurriedly ordered the servants of the prime minister's house to follow the path of the water truck, but found the body of the water delivery brother Zhang Chunfeng not far from the prime minister's house.

The body stared up at the sky with big eyes and died in peace. A woman's gold hairpin was inserted into the throat of the corpse. It was exquisitely made and valuable, but now it became a sharp weapon to kill.

Shen Xinzhi listened to his subordinates' report. His face was very ugly. He waved and motioned to his servants to bury their bodies quickly. Even though he hated Shen Muyun's daughter at this time, he had to cover it up for her in order to face the prime minister's house.

However, the fire could not be wrapped in paper, and there were rumors in the house. Shen Qingru smiled indifferently when he heard people talking about it. It seems that Shen Muyun has been forced to a dead end. The dog jumped over the wall and wanted to escape at the expense of killing people.

But where can she escape? I'm too smart to go back. Zheng family and Shen Muyun won't go either. The only possibility is to find Xiao Qiyu.

Shen Qingru smiled faintly. She wanted to see how Shen Muyun, who had lost her precious identity as the daughter of the Shen family, could enter the seventh Prince's house? Is Xiao Qiyu still so "true love" in the face of Shen Muyun who has nothing?

She waited to see what would happen to the "true love" in front of interests? However, Shen Muyun was not in the prime minister's house, but brought a rare quiet time to the prime minister's house.

Unexpectedly, a decree broke the short peace in the prime minister's house at this time.

The emperor personally married Xu Buyu, the eldest daughter of marquis Weiyuan, to Shen Jing'an, the eldest son of the prime minister's house. As soon as the news came out, the chaotang was thrown into a boulder like a calm lake, wrinkling a pool of spring water.

The eldest lady of the Weiyuan Hou family is well-known in the summer. There is a powerful official family of noble women in the summer. The threshold of the family has long been broken by the suitors, but the Weiyuan Hou's residence is always empty. The reason is very simple. With Miss Xu's fierce degree, if you marry her and take a concubine, you are afraid that you and your concubine will be beaten to death by Miss Xu together.

However, Miss Xu is extremely beautiful. Although the dandies in Da Xia dare not marry her, they all praise her beauty. In his early years, Hou Weiyuan also tried to send his eldest daughter to the palace to be a high-ranking imperial concubine. Later, he thought it would be better to stop. In case his daughter loses her temper and beats the emperor, it would be bad to take his old Xu family in.

Weiyuan Hou's hair has turned white. If his daughter is ugly and can't get married, it's just that his daughter is as beautiful as flowers. It's really comforting that no one cares.

Therefore, the emperor's marriage to the prime minister's house of Weiyuan was not only very glorious, but also very grateful to the prime minister's house of Weiyuan.

The people in the prime minister's residence were really happy and worried when they received the imperial edict.

I'm glad that Shen Xinzhi, your majesty, is willing to marry Jing'an, the eldest daughter of the feudal official and the important Minister of the son of heaven, Weiyuan Hou, which shows that your majesty still trusts himself as before. Originally, because the crown prince was abolished, Shen Xinzhi was worried all day for fear of implicating himself. Now he was relieved by the imperial edict. Sure enough, his majesty still had to rely on him as an old minister.

The worry is that the servants of the prime minister's house. The valiant and heroic demeanor of Miss Xu who killed the prime minister's house last time with a whip is still a shadow in their hearts. Now Miss Xu is about to become the young and old lady of the prime minister's house and the future mistress. Why don't you make people tremble? If the young master wants to take another concubine in the future, will he be killed by Miss Xu even in his concubine room? Think about it, I think the young master is too miserable.

Shen Jing'an silently accepted the imperial edict in the sympathetic eyes of the people, and turned back to the room without expression.

Shen Qingru tries to persuade her brother. After all, Xu Buyu's love for her brother can be seen by anyone with a clear eye. But eldest brother is obviously in a bad mood now. If her comfort arouses eldest brother's rebellious psychology again, it's not good.

It's still his time. Wait for big brother to figure it out.

Within half a month, the emperor sent someone to the man's side to perform the ceremony of "Naji". It was Xiao Qijun, king of Wu, who came.

The king of Wu came to the prime minister's house with the Minister of rites and the guard of honor. Shen Xinzhi was out on business at this time. When he heard that the king of Wu was coming to the residence, he hurried back. Because of Shen Muyun's involvement, Qin was locked up in another hospital early to think about his mistakes. Only the old lady was left to receive King Wu and his party.

The old lady got the news and took the people in the house to meet the king of Wu at the door early. The Minister of rites is old and can only go in and out in a soft sedan. The king of Wu was riding on his horse. At this time, he turned over and dismounted, threw the whip to the young man behind him, and walked quickly towards the door of the prime minister's house.

"I attended his Highness the king of Wu and met Lord Shangshu." Zhou Lingyun carefully helped the old lady to salute the king of Wu.

With a smile, the king of Wu stepped forward and picked up the saluting old lady: "madam, don't be polite." Zhou Lingyun bumped his eyes with him. He couldn't help blushing and beating his heart, and bowed his head shyly.

His Royal Highness the king of Wu has great talents and is majestic when the border is peaceful. Even if Zhou Lingyun has lived in a small town for a long time, he has heard the name of the king of Wu. At this time, I can't help but sigh that his Highness the king of Wu really deserves his reputation. He is handsome and noble, just like a God.

The old lady was also quietly observing Xiao Qijun. She saw that his words were very kind, not as cruel and cruel as rumored, and his face was handsome and noble. It was really worthy of thousands of girls' yearning for him in the summer. Looking at the tall and handsome king of Wu, and then looking at Zhou Lingyun with a blushing face on her side, the old lady smiled very kindly.

My granddaughter and the king of Wu stand together. It's really a perfect couple.

The old lady was helped up by the king of Wu. With a smile on her face, she told Zhou Lingyun, "Lingyun, don't give a gift to the king of Wu soon."

The king of Wu was slightly stunned, then smiled and looked at the girl who bowed her eyes in front of him, waved to Zhou Lingyun to exempt her. The old lady smiled and introduced: "this is Ling Yun, my granddaughter. I heard that I was unwell. I came to the prime minister's house to take care of me. It's really a filial child. Speaking of character and virtue, my five granddaughters can't compare with Ling Yun..."

If Lingyun could marry the king of Wu as the imperial concubine, it would really be a good marriage, I thought happily.

As for Shen Qingru, it's also a matter of honor for the girl to marry Lord Huo as his wife. This is a more noble princess position, or Lingyun is more suitable.

The Minister of rites frowned helplessly when he saw his Highness the king of Wu, but the old lady praised her granddaughter attentively. She couldn't help scolding the old man as a pimp.

"Standing at the door is always disrespectful. It's better to come in and say. What do you think, old lady?" the Minister of rites couldn't help ordering, busy praising the old lady of Zhou Lingyun.

The old lady woke up from a dream. King Wu came to Naji for the Marquis of Weiyuan for her grandson to marry Miss Xu. As for Lingyun and his Highness the king of Wu, let Shen Xinzhi find a chance to get in touch with them again.

The old lady was busy and respectfully invited his highness King Wu to enter the house. She followed behind her and accompanied her carefully. Zhou Lingyun beside her has changed her shame, and her eyes are obsessed with the tall and straight back of King Wu. I'm very relieved. It seems that her decision is really right. Lingyun has fallen in love with his Highness the king of Wu. She will push Lingyun onto the throne of Princess Wu at all costs.

Xiao Qijun sat in the Shen family's living room tasting fragrant tea and looked inadvertently at the wall. Sure enough, Shen Xinzhi collected many good calligraphy and paintings. When the servant girls and dependents of the Shen family heard of the arrival of King Wu, they hid outside and peeped to see the style of the famous Xia general, the prince, the dragon and the grandson.

Zhou Lingyun couldn't help but glare at the servant girls who stole a glance and secretly said that his Highness the king of Wu is noble. Are you bitches trying to get involved?

The servant girls who steal aim are not afraid of her. A "table lady" from a squire family dares to put on any airs. It really makes people laugh!

The king of Wu was also slightly embarrassed when he was watched as a monkey. As soon as the old lady's voice fell, Xiao Qijun asked, "excuse me, old lady, why didn't Qingru accompany her today?"

The old lady was speechless for a moment.

In order to set off Zhou Lingyun's beautiful appearance, it is naturally inconvenient for her to take Shen Qingru with her, so as not to steal Zhou Lingyun's limelight. But how can you say that?

"Qingru felt cold and unwell occasionally, so she couldn't visit his Highness the king of Wu." the old lady hesitated.

"Oh?" Xiao Qijun looked worried. "But it's still serious? Let's go and have a look at her."

"Don't..." the evil old lady quickly stopped the king of Wu: "Your Highness, the man and woman are not close. I'm afraid your Highness's move will damage Qingru's reputation..."

Xiao Qijun smiled like the breeze and the moon. Lang said, "I am a righteous brother and sister. Why not be a brother and sister? If someone chews the root of his tongue behind his back and slanders me, I will play my father and ask him to deal with it."

The old lady had no choice but to order her maid to invite Shen Qingru. Her close maid was also smart. Seeing the old lady's eyes, she knew that the old lady wanted to tell the eldest lady not to leak in front of the king of Wu.

Shen Qingru is cooking tea and watching bamboo in her yard. She is secretly surprised to see the maid around the old lady coming quickly. After hearing the maidservant's hesitation, Shen Qingru couldn't help laughing.

The old lady can't wait to marry Zhou Lingyun into a rich family. This time, she paid attention to the king of Wu. It's just that she's so paranoid that she's in the water. His Highness the king of Wu is a noble in the sky and a popular candidate for the next crown prince. Will she like a little squire's daughter to be the imperial concubine?
