It was only then that the Qin family noticed that no matter what happened to Jiang Wan, she was usually like this.

Her expression and facial features were just like Zhao Su Niang's, making people hate her but unable to find fault with her.

Mother Du quickly went to lie down in the outer courtyard, then came back and whispered into née Qin's ear: "The eunuch who came to announce the decree has arrived. The supervisor is currently letting them rest in the outer courtyard's study. We just need to wait for old master to come back and announce it."

"Did you find out what happened?" As the day passed, the Qin family also became flustered. They were afraid that something would happen to her sister in the palace.

Mother Du shook her head, "I don't know, but from what the manager said, those eunuchs' faces were all glowing red. It shouldn't be a bad thing."

Nodding her head, née Qin instructed her mother to quickly wrap up a few red packets while she urged her wife to set the incense table.

However, the Zhao Susu who led Brother Sheng out looked at Jiang Wan puckering her lips into a smile. Jiang Wan looked at her in confusion, but she actually went close to Jiang Wan's ear and whispered, "This should be your good news, right?"

Jiang Wan looked at her reproachfully, but suddenly remembered that when Xiao Rui left, he seemed to have told her that an imperial edict would arrive today, so she had made preparations in advance to prevent chaos when the time came.

However, at that time, she was still in a dazed state of sleep and had long since turned a deaf ear.

Could it be that this was really the imperial edict?

Jiang Wan began to look forward to it.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Chuanzhong returned from the Ministry of Justice with a head full of sweat.

Seeing that everyone was present, the attendant walked over to the incense table in the inner courtyard, slowly opening the multicolored cloud crane design in his hand and said: "With the blessing of the heavens, I am pleased to hear that the daughter of the Vice Minister of the Punishment Department Jiang Chunzhong, Jiang Wan, is skillful and generous, warm and kind, and has an outstanding appearance. Today, the prince's son, Xiao Rui, has been weak for many years. When it's time to marry, he should choose his daughter and her match. It could be said that Jiang Wan and the Prince's son had been created from the heavens to be the most beautiful woman. Jiang Wan and Xiao Rui had been betrothed to each other as their first wives. All etiquette was handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Vanguard of Heavens to handle together. The announcement was made both at home and abroad. This is it! "

Jiang Chuanzhong, who was kneeling on the limestone tiles, was completely stupefied. His face had turned deathly pale.

Jiang Wan was actually given a wedding to the Prince's son, Xiao Rui?

That legendary disease that allowed one to rely on the death of one's wife to extend one's lifespan?

"Vice Minister, accept the decree." After the attendant finished reading the imperial edict, he looked at Jiang Chuanzhong with a fake smile.

Jiang Chuanzhong knelt there sweating profusely. He felt as if the attendant was holding a hot potato in his hand.

If he took over this edict, it would be equivalent to personally pushing his daughter, Jiang Wan, onto the brick bed.

But he had to.

He first kowtowed, then stretched out his hands and accepted the decree with a face as pale as death.

née Qin quickly handed over the red seal that had been prepared by her mother. After a slight deliberation, the attendant said, "Congratulations sire," and left haughtily.

"Miss …" Clove, who had been lying on the back of her head all this while, quickly stood up and ran to Jiang Wan's side to help her up, only to discover that Jiang Wan was now covered in tears.

Jiang Wan Ning choked as she looked at the lilac, but her excited mood could not be expressed with words.

This time, she really wanted to marry Xiao Rui.

He had thought that he would have no relation with his previous life, nor would he have any destiny in this life.

Just when she was still trying to persuade herself not to think anymore, happiness came so suddenly.

"Sister Wan'er … "I've wronged you …" Jiang Chuzhong looked at Jiang Wan, who was crying so hard, and said that she had also heard rumors about Xiao Rui.

"aggrieved? What's wrong with her? " However, the Qin family jumped up from the ground in jealousy.

The Crown Princess of the Prince's estate was of the first rank!

Even higher than Jiang Shu by five levels, let alone Jiang Shu who had only just been conferred the title of a seventh grade noble.

Her two daughters had both become concubines, but the little Shu girl that Jiang Wan, this concubine's concubine, had turned into a legal wife with a shake of her body?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her good mood about burning incense in the temple also vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Ignorant woman!" Jiang Chuanzhong gave née Qin a furious glare before flinging his sleeves, he left for the outer court.

Née Qin fell onto Mother Du beside her in anger, pointed at Jiang Chuanzhong's back and said: "What does he mean by that? If my daughters are old enough, can he not look at me in the eye? "

With that, she called out for Mother Du to help her back to her room. As for the matter of going to the temple to burn incense, no one ever mentioned it again.

The courtyard that was filled with people a moment ago suddenly became empty.

Zhao Su Niang took Brother Sheng's hand and walked forward, covering her mouth as she smiled, "Madam wangfei, do you have time to come to our house and take a seat?"

"Is Aunt making fun of me?" Jiang Wan blushed as she spoke, yet she still followed Zhao Susu back to her western room.

This time, Zhao Su Niang's room had an embroidery belt that could be used by both of them at the same time.

In order to put down the embroidery tension, they even moved a black lacquer floor cabinet against the wall to Brother Sheng's room.

"Go to your room and read." "Yes, Brother Sheng," Madam Su instructed him softly. Then, Brother Sheng took out a book from the brick bed and walked into his own room.

It was already May, and just wearing a thin layer of clothing would make people feel hot. However, Zhao Sanniang's room had doors and windows shut tight like it was winter, making the room much hotter.

Zhao Sanniang arranged for the young maid, Xiang Rui, to fan Jiang Wan, and said with an apologetic smile, "There are many mosquitoes and bugs in the courtyard. If you open the windows, Brother Sheng won't be able to sleep well at night."

Only now did Jiang Wan notice that the west room's window was actually covered in winter brown paper.

Qing Xin carefully served two cups of tea. Zhao Su's mother served one cup to Jiang Wan and said with a smile, "Taste this year's new tea."

Jiang Wan looked at her in surprise.

However, Zhao Su Niang winked at her and whispered, "I let Caiqing secretly go out to buy some tea. Although it wasn't as good as the one in my wife's house, it was still much better than the tea leaves from before."

Jiang Wan glanced at the taut red cloth embroidered on the side, and understood.

In the Great Liang Dynasty, red was the color that belonged exclusively to the first wife of the first wife, and even when she was domineering over Ginger, before she became Empress Dowager, she only dared to wear pomegranate and cyan colors similar to that of red rather than red.

The embroidery on the taut thing, the flower color is not complex, one look at it is for the outside of the shop.

"If Madam knows about this, won't she say something?" Jiang Wan took a sip of tea with an indifferent expression.

Although the servants of the various families would always secretly do some selling, there were only a few who dared to be so brazen.

"Isn't that a good reminder?" "Last time, you asked me if I was embroidering a dowry for Qing Qing, but later on, I thought about it, wasn't it? Later on, when Mother Du came over to ask, I said that it was for Qing Qing, and they didn't say anything more."
