Chapter 551 Golden Horse Award and Golden Rooster Award
When Chen heard this, a big stone fell from her heart, "That's good, I was just worrying about these things."
So she took out the silver and sent the matchmaker away.
She asked someone to invite Liu Zhuangtou's daughter-in-law to come over, and also called Aunt Qin to discuss Gu Fei's dowry.
These two people came from wealthy families, had some knowledge, and knew the customs here. They discussed again and again, and asked Lanzhi to take notes on paper about some things to buy.
After that, both the palace and the Gu family were busy with this marriage.
Chen first asked someone to find Old Man Huang to make four-season clothes and shoes for Gu Fei. This had to be done quickly, as there was only a month left, and it was really too late.
Then she went to the city every one or two days to buy various things.
While they were busy, the imperial edict from the capital and Zheng Wan arrived.
Zheng Wan and the four maids who came with the dowry stayed at the official post.
The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch brought two young eunuchs to the Prince of Qi's mansion to announce the imperial edict.
This time, the Prince of Qi was too lazy to act drunk. He opened the middle door and welcomed the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict in. The three of them knelt on the ground and listened to the eunuch read the imperial edict. The eunuch handed the imperial edict to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu stood up, but did not reach out to take it. He looked at the eunuch and said, "Eunuch Liu, why did the Queen suddenly give me a marriage?"
"What should I do? My family has already arranged a marriage for me, and the wedding date is just around the corner."
The eunuch was stunned. Already engaged?
Could it be that he was lying because he was not satisfied with this marriage?
He held the imperial edict and said unhappily, "No matter what, the queen has issued the imperial edict, so the prince has to accept it."
Xiao Yu shook his head, "Eunuch Liu, I really can't accept this edict. If I accept it, where will my wife who has not yet married me be placed?"
King Qi scolded from the side, "Yu'er, stop talking nonsense, and accept the edict quickly!"
Xiao Yu stiffened his neck and looked at King Qi with a defiant face, "I won't accept it. I won't marry Miss Zheng. The only person I want to marry is Miss Gu!"
"You, you rebellious son, how can you not accept the imperial edict of the queen?" King Qi kicked Xiao Yu in anger.
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "If you want to marry, you marry. I won't marry anyway."
"I only have Miss Gu in my heart!"
King Qi was furious, calling him a rebellious son, and kicked Xiao Yu several times.
Eunuch Liu saw that the father and son were about to fight, and stood there with an embarrassed face.
The princess came over and said with a sad face: "Eunuch Liu, what do you think we should do?"
"My Yu'er has been trying to kill himself and quarreled with us several times over this marriage, and we can't do anything about him."
"Eunuch Liu, how about you take the imperial edict back to the capital?"
Eunuch Liu's cheek twitched. He was in the Queen's palace and had passed on the imperial edict several times, but he had never seen anyone who didn't even accept the imperial edict.
This prince must have a hole in his brain!
And the princess must be stupid, too, for asking him to take the imperial edict back!
At this time, the housekeeper of the palace came forward and grabbed Eunuch Liu, stuffed a banknote into his hand, and whispered, "Eunuch Liu, look at what's going on."
"This really isn't my prince's intention to disobey the order. You might as well go out and ask around. The prince is really engaged."
"The engagement is with a peasant girl. The girl is as beautiful as a fairy. The prince loves her very much. The prince and princess dislike the girl's family background and don't agree. But the prince made a scene in the palace. Now, the prince and princess are helpless and have finally engaged them."
