Chapter 286 Granted Marriage
"What did you say?"
Emperor Xuan asked again unsurely, wondering if he heard wrongly?
The young eunuch hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty! Mr. Ning has returned to Beijing and is heading towards the palace."
"Damn, this bastard..."
Emperor Xuan was suddenly furious.
The little eunuch was trembling with fear, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Emperor Xuan looked at Eunuch Quan, "How dare he go to the capital without an order and forget about it when he comes back without even saying hello... It's simply lawless."
"Go and inform Nie Liang. After Ning Chen enters the palace, ask him to kneel before me outside the royal study."
The little eunuch said: "Yes! I obey the order."
After the young eunuch retreated, Emperor Xuan had a dark face.
"You are becoming more and more lawless. You even returned to Beijing without saying a word. Do you take me seriously?"
Eunuch Quan quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"Why are you still standing there? Draft a decree for me to marry Ning Chen and Huai'an... This bastard has made me confused."
"Originally, I wanted to wait for him to return to Beijing. I led all the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome him, and by the way, I married him and Huai'an in front of all the officials. All my plans were disrupted by him."
Eunuch Quan hurriedly said: "Yes!"
Eunuch Quan felt sour, and he knew that His Majesty was not really angry... His Majesty always picked up Ning Chen heavily and put it down gently, with loud thunder and small raindrops.
His Majesty's favor towards Ning Chen has already exceeded that of him.
If His Majesty was really angry, he would ask how many soldiers and horses Ning Chen brought back?
If Ning Chen comes back with hundreds of thousands of troops, it will be a rebellion.
But His Majesty didn't ask a single question, which was enough to prove his trust in Ning Chen.
...
Ning Chen and the others came to the palace.
Not to mention that Ning Chen was a victorious general, Pan Yucheng's identity as Jinyi also had the right to enter the palace to meet the saint at any time.
The three of them came to the door of the royal study.
Nie Liang led people over.
Seeing Ning Chen return safely, Nie Liang showed a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Congratulations to General Ning on his triumphant return."
Nie Liang joked.
Ning Chen rolled his eyes, "Stop making trouble! Could you please inform me?"
Nie Liang grinned, "Ning Chen listens!"
Ning Chen was startled and immediately knelt down.
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng also knelt down.
Ning Chen said: "I accept the order!"
After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time, but when Nie Liang didn't speak, he raised his head and said, "Commander Nie, declare the decree!"
He pinched his face and said jokingly, "It's announced."
Ning Chen had a question mark on his forehead.
Nie Liang smiled and said: "His Majesty's will is for you to kneel here."
Ning Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Pan Yucheng's worries came true? Zisu betrayed him, saying that the two muskets were given by him?
But this is not right. Even if Zisu said it, His Majesty would not believe it easily and would definitely send someone to investigate.
But it takes almost ten days to get from Fuzhou to the capital, and the investigation results will not be so fast.
Even if His Majesty believed Zi Su's words, he would not let him kneel down, but would have someone take him down.
Ning Chen's face was full of doubts, "Commander Nie, why did your Majesty make such a decree?"
Nie Liang shook his head, "I don't dare to speculate on the holy will... Think about it carefully, what mistake did you make?"
Ning Chen's face was full of innocence, "I am pure in nature, law-abiding, loyal to the emperor and patriotic... When did I make a mistake?"
Nie Liang: →_→
Even Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng couldn't help but look sideways. They had never seen such a shameless person?
Nie Liang couldn't help but complain: "Are you feeling guilty for saying this?"
"But to be honest, you fought this battle beautifully... Your Majesty is in a good mood these days. Logically speaking, you shouldn't be punished?"
What did Nie Liang suddenly think of? He frowned and asked, "Are you going to Beijing without an imperial edict?"
"Uh..." Ning Chen nodded awkwardly, "I'm just a general who was ordered to do something in danger. I don't have any military symbols, and I didn't bring many people with me when I came back..."
As Ning Chen was talking, Eunuch Quan walked out.
"Hi! Lao Quan, has His Majesty summoned me?"
Eunuch Quan looked at him expressionlessly, "Ning Chen, do you know that returning to the capital privately is a serious crime of treason and the three clans will be punished."
Ning Chen was startled.
But then I thought about it, the Ning family is alone now, how can there be three clans to kill?
Eunuch Quan looked at Ning Chen and suddenly asked with a smile: "Did it scare you?"
Ning Chen looked at him, the corner of his mouth twitching.
It seems that His Majesty did not blame him for returning to Beijing privately. This damn eunuch was trying to scare him.
Ning Chen silently stretched out his hand and closed his four fingers, leaving only his middle finger.
Eunuch Quan looked confused, "What do you mean?"
"Thank you for your kindness."
Eunuch Quan looked at the evil smile on Ning Chen's lips and snorted, not believing it at all.
Immediately, his face straightened and he unfolded the imperial edict in his hand.
"Ning Chen listens!"
"My lord, accept the order!"
The high-pitched voice of Eunuch Quan rang out: "Ning Chen went to the border to punish the traitors, kill the traitors, and recover the Daxuan River and Mountains. His hard work and achievements have made me very happy!"
"Ning Chen is a talented young man with both civil and military skills. He has made great contributions to regaining the lost territory for our Daxuan... Ninth Princess Huai'an, at the age of Ji, bestows Ning Chen as his wife, and we choose a good time to get married. I appreciate this!"
The age of hairpin refers to a fifteen-year-old girl, and also means to tie her hair...meaning she is ready to get married.
This is an imperial edict granting marriage.
Everyone in Ningchen was dumbfounded.
Not to mention him, Nie Liang, Pan Yucheng, and Feng Qizheng all looked confused.
Especially Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizheng, His Majesty made them kneel as punishment, which made them uneasy and their hearts were in their throats.
Then came an imperial decree granting marriage.
"Ning Chen, why don't you accept the imperial decree?"
Ning Chen's head was dizzy, but he also knew that he must not disobey the imperial decree at this time... Let's not talk about how serious the crime of disobeying the imperial decree is, just disobeying the imperial decree now is a big blow to Emperor Xuan.
But what about Yudie after marrying the Ninth Princess?
He asked Yudie, and Yudie was willing to be a concubine.
But is the Ninth Princess willing to let Yudie in?
Seeing that Ning Chen was still in a daze, Eunuch Quan was really worried that he would disobey the imperial decree... This guy could do so many outrageous things.
"Ning Chen, why don't you accept the imperial decree?"
Ning Chen said "oh", took the imperial decree, and said loudly: "Minister, thank the Lord for your grace!"
Eunuch Quan smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Ning!"
"Haha... Thank you!"
Ning Chen's smile was uglier than crying.
But although the Ninth Princess was a little willful, she was kind-hearted, so she should be able to accept Yudie, right?
Look for an opportunity to ask indirectly and see what the Ninth Princess means?
Eunuch Quan looked at Ning Chen's unwilling look, and wanted to take off his shoes and beat him... His Majesty granted the marriage, and the princess married you, and you are wronged?
"His Majesty has ordered that Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen go back first, and Ning Chen stays."
Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen were stunned, and they were worried and gave Ning Chen a look of wishing for the best.
"Mr. Ning, follow me to thank you?"
Ning Chen followed Eunuch Quan and walked into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
Ning Chen knelt down.
Emperor Xuan sat behind the dragon case and looked at Ning Chen, "Ning Chen, you entered the capital without permission, do you know your crime?"
Again?
Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I know your crime!"
"Since you know your crime, then tell me why you entered the capital without permission... The reason is reasonable, I can forgive you."
Ning Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty, I miss you!"
Emperor Xuan's expression froze, it was too corny... But the corners of his mouth were harder to suppress than AK.
Bah...disgusting, corny, and a bootlicker, Eunuch Quan secretly complained in his heart.
