Chapter 152 Mission 014
Xiao Ying got the confirmation from the emperor, and he was satisfied and ordered people to prepare.
The Shan Mansion suddenly received the imperial edict of marriage, which was simply a thousand waves.
No one expected that the second daughter who was not loved by her father and mother and had always been a transparent person in the Shan Mansion could actually climb up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and become the Crown Princess appointed by the imperial edict!
For this good news, except for the legitimate sisters and concubines who didn't get along well with Shan Ruxuan, who were almost crazy with jealousy, everyone else in the Shan Mansion was very happy, especially the owner of the Shan Mansion, Zuo Xiang, who had long wanted to join the new Crown Prince, but had never had a good opportunity.
Now the emperor has granted marriage, and he has given his legitimate second daughter to the Crown Prince as his principal wife, that is, the future Queen! There is no need for him, the uncle of the king, to find a way to get close to him, because he has been sent to the warship of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by His Majesty the Emperor.
After sending the angel away, Zuo Xiang said to Shan Ruxuan, his daughter whom he could only see a few times throughout the year, very happily: "You are really a good daughter of your father! Good! Good!"
Shan Ruxuan's elder sister Shan Ruyu said in a somewhat yin-yang tone: "I don't know how my second sister hooked up with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only came to the house on the day of my grandmother's birthday banquet..."
Shan Ruyu meant to make everyone think that Shan Ruxuan seduced a man at her grandmother's birthday banquet to ruin the family tradition, but she didn't think about it at all. Even if Shan Ruxuan was really as she said, it depends on who the man she seduced was! See if she succeeded!
If Shan Ruxuan hooked up with an ordinary young man from a noble family on the day of her grandmother's birthday banquet, it would definitely anger Mrs. Shan and Shan Zuo Xiang, and for the sake of family tradition, it would be possible for her to live a secluded life.
But the man who liked Shan Ruxuan was the current Crown Prince, the future Emperor, and the crown prince that Shan Zuo Xiang had tried every means to curry favor with!
Can the meaning be the same?
Shan Zuoxiang glared at Shan Ruyu fiercely: "Shut up! Do you think you can talk nonsense about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Madam Shan felt uncomfortable for a while because of Shan Ruyu's words, but she became happy again when she thought of the imperial edict just now. She took Shan Ruxuan's hand and said kindly with a smile: "Good child, you will live with your grandmother in the future. There are many rules for entering the palace. Grandma will teach you these well!"
Shan Ruxuan was a little dazed after receiving the imperial edict. At first, she didn't think about how she had an intersection with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Later, she remembered the man she met in the fake cave on the day of her grandmother's birthday banquet, and remembered that he had said that he would save her and leave...
Shan Ruxuan was still a little dazed when she was pulled over by Madam Shan, but in Madam Shan's opinion, this little girl was just stunned by joy.
In fact, if we say that the person who feels the most unbelievable about this matter in the entire Shan Mansion is Madam Shan. She never thought that this useless girl she gave birth to could turn over?
Mrs. Shan's idea of favoring sons over daughters is deeply rooted, and she doesn't care about her daughter at all, so she can easily use her own daughter as a raft to show her love for her stepdaughter in front of her mother-in-law and husband.
Now that Shan Ruxuan has been granted marriage to the prince as the crown princess, her first thought is how much benefit her son can get.
…………
Not to mention how happy or entangled the people in the Shan Mansion are about this sudden marriage, the entire court and harem were shaken by the emperor's marriage decree.
Especially the queen and Su Youhao's party who have not given up on Zuo Xiang and have always wanted to win over Zuo Xiang. After hearing this news, no matter how unwilling they are, they have to give up Zuo Xiang, a powerful aid.
In ancient times, the most unreliable relationship is in-laws, but the most reliable relationship is also in-laws.
Marriage is a bond of interest. Although this bond can be broken when there is a disagreement in interests, before there is a disagreement in interests, this bond is unbreakable.
Su Youhao could not give the left prime minister greater benefits, so the left prime minister could not take greater risks to reap far less fruit than now.
This is also the reason why the emperor agreed to grant the marriage to the prince and Shan Ruxuan. He did not want the left prime minister's party to be won over by the queen and the second son, posing a threat to the prince and causing instability in the court.
The marriage decree set the prince's wedding time for one year later, because the procedures required to prepare for the prince's wedding were very cumbersome, complicated and costly, and one year was relatively short.
But unfortunately, the emperor did not survive this year and died in the early morning of the night in the palace.
Xiao Ying did not encounter many obstacles when he ascended the throne, because the emperor had repeatedly stated before his death that he would succeed him in the future, and even the memorials before the emperor's death were all handed over to Xiao Ying for revision.
After the emperor's death, because the country could not be without a monarch for a day, the twenty-seven months of mourning were shortened to twenty-seven days according to the rules, and he ascended the throne twenty-seven days later.
However, on the day of Xiao Ying's enthronement, he sat on the dragon throne in a dragon robe, and said with a heavy expression of grief: "Before my father passed away, he had chosen a queen for me..." He looked at the left prime minister standing in front of the civil servants.
When the left prime minister heard Xiao Ying mention the engagement, he felt a pang in his heart, fearing that he would regret it.
"But my father passed away not long ago, and I am extremely sad, really..." His voice became choked, "I will observe mourning for my father for three years, and as for the wedding, it will be decided in three years!"
The left prime minister was relieved immediately, fortunately it was not a regret, but just a postponement. Three years later, Shan Ruxuan would be less than sixteen years old, and it would not be long since she had just reached the age of marriage. The time for marriage was just right, and it would also save her from entering the palace too early and looking like an immature little girl, which would make His Majesty lose interest and be unfavorable to her favor.
When Xiao Yu was still the prince, Su Youhao and others could not stand up and down. Now that he has ascended the throne and become the emperor, it is even more convenient to suppress Su Youhao's party.
After ascending the throne, the first thing Xiao Yu did was to cut off all the Queen Mother's wings inside and outside the palace.
Damn it, he's so fed up with this weirdo who doesn't have a clear mind! He is not her biological son, and he has the obligation to tolerate her stupidity!
In the past, the late emperor was there to control her, so he had to endure it no matter how much the queen mother jumped around. Now that the late emperor was burping, it was an act of mercy for him to be able to bear not sending this old woman to stay with the late emperor.
If Xiao Yu had a very domineering temperament now, the Queen Mother would definitely die of illness, but he had some compassion for the original owner, and the original owner's 50-point wish mission allowed him to complete it very easily, and it happened to be opened The system mall made him feel very good, so he did not intend to leave a mess for the original owner, so he just cut off all the influence of the Queen Mother.
Just like this, it also made the Queen Mother, who had been famous for most of her life, extremely painful. She was now being guarded by Xiao Yu in the palace and was not allowed to go out unless there was anything wrong. It was almost like being under house arrest.
Su Youhao's life was not considered free. Xiao Yu built him a palace and kicked him out of the East Palace.
However, Xiao Yu didn't have a bad impression of Su Youhao. He was not so kind as a saint, but not so vicious that he was inhumane. He was just an ordinary person with both good and evil sides. Xiao Yu didn't care too much about him. He was given plenty of medicinal materials that he needed to recuperate on weekdays, and an imperial doctor was also sent to stay at Prince An's Mansion.
Xiao Yu took advantage of the three years of filial piety to clean up the harem and the halls, and then finally waited for his wedding to the heroine Shan Ruxuan.
The wedding of an emperor and an empress is far from comparable to the wedding of a prince and his concubine, and is several times more complicated.
Even Xiao Yu, the groom's official, was tortured enough, let alone the bride who was even more unlucky than him.
However, after traveling through so many worlds from the real world, this is the first time for Xiao Yu to be the groom's official, and it feels...a bit subtle.
Ordinary weddings require the bride to cover her head and go to the bridal chamber to wait for the groom, but the wedding of the emperor and the queen is different. The two must first sacrifice to heaven and ancestors to inform the world.
Xiao Yu stood on the high platform and watched Shan Ruxuan, dressed in a phoenix robe and wedding dress, walking towards him step by step with the support of the palace maid. Her calm and calm posture made Xiao Yu secretly sigh.
The little girl he saw in the rockery cave disappeared after all... Not long after Shan Ruxuan and Ji, she was pushed into the pond by her jealous concubine. After she woke up from a coma, she became much calmer and sharper. .
Yes, the real heroine Shan Ruxuan traveled through time.
At the beginning of the plot in the original work, it was the heroine who time-traveled into the second lady of Shan Mansion and was forced to be drafted into the palace. Then the heroine and the hero met and fell in love.
When the heroine traveled through time, it was not long after Shan Ruxuan and Ji, the second young lady of Shan Mansion.
That's why Xiao Yu proposed to postpone the wedding for three years, because Shan Ruxuan was not the real heroine at that time, and he would not be able to complete the task by marrying her.
No matter it is the original protagonist or the male protagonist Su Youhao, they all like the time-travel version of Shan Ruxuan. The target of Xiao Yu's strategy is naturally the time-travel version of Shan Ruxuan.
Xiao Yu watched the heroine approach him step by step, and finally stretched out her hand towards her.
The heroine raised her eyes to look at him, put her right hand into his palm, and then walked a few steps to stand side by side with Xiao Yu.
Listening to the prayers that had begun to be sung in his ears, and with no one else around, Xiao Yu held the heroine's little hand tightly, with a gentle smile on his handsome face.
"Ruxuan, maybe we didn't know each other well enough before, but now you are my wife. I swear to the ancestors of heaven and earth that Su Chenghao will treat you sincerely for the rest of his life without a second thought!"
Shan Ruxuan's calm and dignified mask was finally broken by these words, and she looked at Xiao Yu with some surprise.
He smiled particularly seductively: "So, Ruxuan, are you really willing to marry me?"
She nodded mysteriously.
At this moment, she only felt that her heart was supported and the scenery was very beautiful.
