"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Feng Degui's voice was shrill as he said:
"Ascend Xiao Zhenhai to be the equal wife of the Xiao family's elder sister, Xian Min. Seal as the third daughter of Lian Shiya, Lian Shiya as the third rank County Lord."
What?
Lian Yanqing was immediately stunned and his expression froze. Even his concubine and concubine from the Prime Minister's Estate had been favored by the Xiao Clan for their meritorious service to the Xiao Clan.
So the reason Xiao Zhenhai came to see the empress dowager yesterday night was for this. The emperor naturally wouldn't care about such matters, so he started with the empress dowager.
"Lian Xiang, what do you think?" The Emperor looked at Lian Yan Qing and asked.
The reason for the addition of these titles was that the empress dowager had personally went to the emperor's chambers early in the morning. She said that Xiao Zhenhai had rendered meritorious services for the imperial court, and had also risen to the rank of Duke of the Kingdom. He was a wealthy man, but if his only direct sister was a concubine in someone else's house and his only niece was born by birth, then it would be a joke.
The Emperor felt that his words were reasonable, and besides, it was not very important, so he followed the Empress Dowager's imperial edict and added these two titles.
Lian Yan Qing knelt down on both knees and respectfully prostrated himself on the ground. He said, "This humble subject thanks Your Majesty for his grace!"
"Hahaha …" Zhou Cheng Di laughed loudly. His laughter resonated throughout the throne room as he said, "The language is Yan Qing, the martial arts are Zhenhai, and I have the two of you. Everything is enough."
"Consecutive, in the future when both of us are as one, it will be as sharp as cutting gold!" Xiao Zhen Hai looked deeply at Lian Yan Qing. He had a carefree smile on his face, but the look in his eyes became even more profound.
"The country prince is too polite. This humble subject is also willing to go through fire and water for the emperor. I shall die for him." Even Yan Qing expressed his heartfelt feelings to the Emperor. His lips revealed a fox-like smile.
After the assembly, Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao He stood in the middle of the great hall, proudly accepting the congratulations of the officials. Everyone said:
"Congratulations, Imperial Prince! Congratulations, Imperial Prince …"
"Congratulations to the young duke, congratulations to the young duke …"
"Hahaha …" Xiao Zhenhai's laughter was like a rainbow as he stood to the side. His entire body was brimming with an aura of youth.
Lian Yan Qing pulled a long face as he hastily left the throne room. Xiao Zhen Hai pretended not to see him.
"Ninth Royal Brother, do you smell it? "The throne room seems to be suffused with a demonic wind, and the smell is slightly suffocating." The eighth and ninth kings, Feng Ye and Feng Yunzheng, stood far away. The two of them simultaneously looked at the father and son who were feeling proud of themselves, and Feng Ye opened his mouth to speak.
Feng Yunzheng had a carefree smile on his face as he lightly said, "Eighth Prince has been stationed in the barracks for a while, so he should be more aware of this smell than my brother."
"Heh …" Feng Ye smiled, but a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Even the concubine and concubine of the Prime Minister's Estate have been favored by the emperor. This is enough to show how much father the Xiao family has attached to the father and son. I'm afraid that little girl's days will be difficult."
"General Xiao has worked hard for a long time, so it is understandable that royal father would bestow great rewards upon those with the surname Xiao as a sign of the Emperor's kindness." Feng Yunzheng's words made Feng Ye turn his head to look at him, and he said —
"It seems like in the past, your brother wasn't the only one who thought wrongly of you, your brother the fourth prince, but your brother the ninth emperor as well." The unfathomable and unfathomable Feng Yunzheng, as well as his recent conduct and behaviour, had caused Feng Ye to have a whole new level of respect for him.
A faint smile appeared on Feng Yunzheng's face as he said, "Eighth Prince, you flatter me."
It was a pity that his only daughter was a cripple without legs. Otherwise, with his current momentum, how many people would want to marry him? This was not something that the Prime Minister's Palace could do.
When he thought of Lian Ruoyue, Feng Qianyue felt a suffocating feeling in his heart. He had heard about how she bravely saved his little brother, and he had once thought of heading to the Prime Minister's Estate in the name of visiting Lian Yue.
However, ever since the incident with Consort Xuan, he had suffered defeat after failure for many years, and his hard work for many years had nearly gone to waste. Thus, he closed his doors to thank her, rarely travelling, and did his best to keep a low profile in order to restore his image in the emperor's heart.
However, he was quietly waiting for the right moment. He, Feng Qianyue, was absolutely not someone who would easily give up. Regardless of whether it was a river or a mountain, or a woman!
Both inside and outside the imperial government, the winds were blowing and the clouds were surging. The wheels of fate were spinning, pulling everyone into a huge whirlpool.
After receiving the congratulations of the crowd, Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao He left the throne room to prepare for the assembly. When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, Xiao He suddenly thought of something and said to Xiao Zhenhai, "Father, I remember that I still have some matters to attend to. Please go home first, I will return later."
Xiao Zhenhai warned again, "You must not stay too long in the palace."
"Yes, father!"
When Xiao Zhenhai turned around, a smile appeared on his face, and he strode towards the imperial garden. Along the way, he met some princesses and palace maids, and they all knew that the young duke was the newly promoted Heavenly Treasure General Xiao He.
Although Xiao He's appearance could not be considered handsome, his sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and his phoenix-like eyes gave birth to power. He had probably fought on the battlefield before and had an awe-inspiring appearance.
He walked all the way to the entrance of the imperial garden and stood outside the short wall.
"Haha, this little thing looks so fast. Zhixiang, Zhixiang, quickly get them to bring some fresh leaves for it to eat. It seems like it's hungry again."
"It's so edible?"
"Will it grow taller than this princess?"
Sure enough, he heard a burst of bell-like laughter. Although he didn't see anyone, he knew it was her the moment he heard the sound.
He lifted his head, looked around, and at last his eyes fell on a tree just beyond the low wall. He tied a knot in his robe around his waist and easily jumped up the tree trunk.
He then comfortably reclined on a long tree trunk, clasped his hands behind his head, and held a thin branch in his mouth. His gaze fell upon the petite and bright figure.
The beautiful girl was dressed in a short-sleeved jacket, a pleated skirt, and a mischievous double bun. Her features were becoming more and more delicate, her eyes were like obsidian, and her lips were as full as cherries on a tree; they were so bright and alluring that one couldn't help but want to pick them.
Right now, she was squatting in front of a fawn. Her hand gently caressed the body of the fawn as her eyes shined with a pure and sincere light, as if the fawn was the one she treasured the most.
Xiao He unconsciously revealed a smile on his face. After not seeing her for a year, Princess Eleven had grown quite a bit and had grown to be even more beautiful.
He stretched out his hand and took out a red rope pendant. On the pendant was a pure gold ring that looked to be a bit old. He touched it with his finger and said:
Twisting the ring, Acacia see the ring to recall. I wish that the cycle of Jun Wu Yi's play would have no end.
West yard.
"What did you say?" Auntie Xiao suddenly grasped Senior Servant Zhen's hand tightly, her face was filled with wild joy as she said in a trembling voice, "If you change again, you will clearly and clearly say it again, word for word!" Speak up! "
"Yes, yes." Senior Servant Zhen was also very excited. "His Majesty personally ordered for the Prime Minister to be promoted to the position of equal wife. Congrats on concubine! Oh, no, it's Madam. This servant congratulates on Madam Xiao."
Her legs bent, she kneeled on the ground and cried, "It's big brother who had me in his heart, and fought for me. The hardships I've gone through these past few days have finally not been in vain. Now I can finally lift my eyebrows and feel proud!"
