363. Chapter 363 Finding a Good Son-in-Law for the Princess
Ye Zhen took a nap on the soft couch in the inner room with her obscene clothes on, and heard voices talking outside in a daze.
"Master Hou, the princess is resting. If you have something important to do, why don't you wait for the princess to wake up before the servants go in and report back." Yuping's voice came from outside.
"Is Yaoyao still sleeping?" Lu Lingzhi's warm and honest voice reached Ye Zhen's ears.
Ye Zhen immediately woke up, looked down and found that she only had a thin obscene dress on her body, she frowned, and saw Aunt Rong walking in from outside, "Princess, are you awake?"
"Who is outside?" Ye Zhen asked lightly, her tone obviously a little unhappy.
Aunt Rong brought clothes for Ye Zhen, and while helping her change, she said, "It's Lord Hou, I heard that you are back, and I want to see you, but Yu Ping has stopped him twice."
Why did Lu Lingzhi seek her? Ye Zhen frowned, "The jade bottle is well done."
Even if Lu Lingzhi is Lord Hou and her eldest brother, but now that she has passed Jiji, what does it mean for a grown man to come in even if he knows his sister is sleeping? Fortunately, the people around her were appointed by the queen mother, so she didn't have to worry about offending him.
"Princess, Aunt Chen who is beside the old lady has also come together, there is a dinner party in the upper room tonight, it's almost time." Aunt Rong reminded Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen looked at the sky outside, and it turned out that Jin Wuxi had fallen, "Let Yu Ping go to the room with me."
"Yes, princess." Aunt Rong promised in a low voice.
Aunt Rong picked out a pink and green tight-fitting pipa-sleeved top for Ye Zhen, and a light yellow smoked gauze loose flower skirt underneath, and she simply wore a ponytail, which made her look even more magnificent and charming, and her posture was so charming and captivating.
"When did you make these clothes?" Ye Zhen looked at the person in the mirror, and then realized that she seemed to have grown taller, and even the little bun on her chest had grown a bit.
"Third Madam made these for you not long ago. I'm afraid you won't be able to wear your old clothes when you come back." Aunt Rong said.
Ye Zhen's heart warmed up, Pei Shi really treated her like her own mother, no, her mother never treated her like this.
Lu Lingzhi's voice was not heard outside, and he presumably had already left.
When I was about to go to the room, the voice of the little girl came from outside, "Third Miss, the imperial edict is here, and the old lady asks you to go to the front to receive the edict."
imperial decree? Ye Zhen was startled, there is an imperial edict so soon? She was suddenly afraid that this was the imperial decree from Murong Zhan to bestow marriage.
If it was really a gift of marriage, she would definitely throw the imperial decree back in his face!
Ye Zhen hurried to the front, the whole Lu family was already waiting in the hall to announce the decree, Lu Lingzhi stood beside Mrs Lu, when he saw Ye Zhen appearing, his eyes became darker, although his complexion Calm, but the clenched fists in his sleeves still couldn't hide his emotions.
He also worried that this was the imperial decree of marriage.
Could it be that the emperor is so impatient? Before he has time to do anything, is he going to watch Yaoyao marry someone else?
It was Eunuch Fu who came to announce the decree. When he saw Ye Zhen appear, he hurriedly smiled and saluted, "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."
"Eunuch Fu is exempt." Ye Zhen forced a smile, "Why is there still an imperial decree at this time?"
Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "This is the emperor's intention. Now that the princess has come, our family will start to announce the decree."
Lu Lingzhi knelt down, "Long live my emperor..."
Everyone knelt down, but they all had different moods. Neither Lu Lingzhi nor Lu Shiming hoped that this was an imperial decree for marriage, and Ye Zhen also hoped so.
"Follow the heavens, the emperor's decree says..." Eunuch Fu began to announce the decree loudly, praising Ye Zhen for being so smart, kind and noble, pointing out that the credit for the Huaijiang plague and Zhaojiadao belonged to her, and then a bunch of others "My imperial sister, who is at the age of Ji, has an outstanding appearance, and the Ministry of Rites is looking for a young son-in-law for the princess..."
What's the meaning? Ye Zhen was stunned when she heard that at the end, Mo Rongzhan asked the Ministry of Rites to find her a good son-in-law? Would he be willing to marry her to someone else?
"Your Highness, please accept the order." Eunuch Fu handed the imperial order to Ye Zhen with a smile.
Lu Lingzhi and Lu Shiming looked at each other, they didn't understand what the emperor's will meant, didn't they hear that the emperor wanted to make Yaoyao his queen? You just came back, and you're going to find another good son-in-law for Yaoyao?
Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Pei's faces were also not very good-looking, they all thought that Yaoyao would enter the palace in the future, and they don't know if such an imperial decree is good or bad for the Lu family.
"Sister-in-law accepts the decree." Ye Zhen accepted the imperial decree expressionlessly, no matter what Murong Zhan wanted to do, she didn't care, if he really wanted to marry her to someone else, she would also wish for it.
Ye Zhen deliberately ignored the inexplicable grievance and discomfort in her heart, and said to Mrs. Lu with a smile, "Grandmother, the emperor has given me so many rewards, I am afraid that the warehouse in my yard will not be able to fit them."
Mrs. Lu regained her energy, thinking that even if Yaoyao can't become a queen, she is still a princess who has made great contributions, and she will not lose money if she marries anyone in the future. Just put in all the rewards from the palace."
"Eunuch Fu, how about going in for a glass of water and wine together?" Lu Lingzhi asked someone to give Eunuch Fu a thick purse, and the smile on his face couldn't help but enlarge.
As long as the emperor doesn't want to establish Yaoyao as the empress, then his chances are even greater, at least not as good as being an enemy of the emperor.
Today I went to the palace to see the emperor, although the emperor's attitude towards him was the same as before, but I don't know if it was his illusion, I always felt that the emperor looked at him differently, as if he was judging him.
Lu Lingzhi sighed in his heart, if the matter of Shuang'er was exposed, the emperor would doubt him is normal, he only hoped that if he handed over Ye Yaoyao, the emperor would believe that he had nothing to do with Shuang'er's matter.
For the Lu family...he has done enough, from now on, he will live for himself.
Looking at the little cousin who was acting coquettish and joking beside the old lady, Lu Ling's heart became hot.
Eunuch Fu left the Lu family after the decree was announced, and he had to go back to report to the emperor.
"How did the princess react after receiving the imperial decree?" Mo Rongzhan sat behind the desk and looked up at Ford who was kneeling in front.
"Going back to the emperor, Your Highness the Princess seemed to be stunned when she heard the slave's decree, but... she seems to be in a good mood." Eunuch Fu told the truth, not daring to look up at Mo Rongzhan.
good mood? Mo Rongzhan raised his eyebrows high, so she doesn't mind him marrying her to someone else?
Heartless little girl! Fortunately, he had put in so much effort to marry her into the palace, but she didn't care at all! Murong Zhan was so angry that his heart was blocked, and he wanted to go out of the palace immediately to find her to settle accounts, and then he glanced at the pile of memorials, hum, let her be happy for a few days, and when he has settled his affairs, he immediately decreed to give her a marriage !
