In Wanqiantang, the faces of the servants who came from the palace were holding the imperial decree and waiting.
The old butler came in to change the sixth cup of tea, his stern lips trembled, and his sharp voice trembled: "My lord... It's too much, it's too contemptuous of the emperor's grace!"
The old butler calmly changed the tea, sighed and said, "My lord, as the saying goes, there are three joys for people: wedding night in the bridal chamber, time to win the title on the gold list, and meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land. The lord of the State Teacher got married yesterday, and the young couple loves each other." It is human nature to be lingering, the emperor is sage, and usually has a lot of trust in the national teacher, so I think he can be more considerate."
The servant was speechless by these words—could it be said that the emperor would not be considerate of the bridal chamber flowers and candles of the national teacher? He doesn't have the guts.
The old butler bowed his hands and stepped back respectfully.
Xiaotian was waiting outside the door, and when he saw him coming out, he quickly listened to him: "There was movement in the room just now, and he will probably come out soon!"
The old butler nodded without changing his expression. The little boy has never seen the world, but he has been with the old master for decades. He was able to come back alive in the scene like the Zhennan Palace yesterday. Not only that, but he also managed to leave a betrothal gift!
Just as he was thinking triumphantly, a black shadow flashed in the distance, and the master of the country really appeared at the end of the corridor, walking slowly towards this side.
It was still the same black ice silk, the thin lips were tightly pressed, the corners of the eyes and the brows were still not smiling, but there was a sense of joy in the spring breeze that filled the whole body.
Being the groom's officer is different...
By the time the old housekeeper reported to the servant with a smile, the Master of the State Teacher had already walked in front of the Thousand Thousand Hall. He was not in a hurry to enter the door to deal with the emperor's servants, instead he stopped and said softly to the old housekeeper: "Go and prepare some easy-to-digest food for Madam—don't send it over, bring it here to me."
The old housekeeper almost laughed out loud.
Master Guoshi has always been served by a little boy, so the maids in the Guoshi Mansion are all rough envoy maids below the second class. Last night, no one was even asked to enter the new house to change the water, so the old butler guessed that it was the master of the state who did not allow strangers to see his bride's body... But even having to bring food in with his own hands is too... stingy.
The old housekeeper whispered: "Yesterday when the old slave came back, Mrs. Ji Ershao from Zhennan Wangfu specially ordered the old slave to bring back the wife's two personal maids. Right now, the two maids are waiting in the small courtyard of Zhuxing."
The national teacher was silent, his tone was still a bit reluctant, but he finally agreed: "Well... then... let them serve first."
"yes!"
"Wait a minute!" The national teacher thought about it and was still unhappy, "They are only allowed to bring food in, and they are not allowed to wake up the madam!"
"… yes… "
…
The servant had just heard that Master Tong Chuan had arrived, and was sitting and waiting to read the imperial decree with cold eyebrows and angry eyes. Who would have thought that Master Guo Shi would not come in immediately when he arrived at the door, but instead told those trivial things there, endlessly. It's gone, the servant's face is ashen.
**
The master of the country then accepted the decree and entered the palace. The complexion in the palace is ashen, and there are still many people there!
In the Baohua Palace, beside the Emperor Murong Tianxia stood the Sixth Prince who had become more eye-catching recently, and beside the Empress Dowager Duanmi stood the all-powerful Qian Secret Envoy, who was quietly waiting for the Master.
Master Guoshi entered the hall and saluted in a calm manner.
The emperor ordered him to get up, his tone could be heard to be extremely displeased, and asked: "The national teacher has always been prudent, why did he do such an unseemly thing yesterday as snatching a marriage in public?"
"Your Majesty, I have passed the age of being weak for a long time. It is only natural to marry a wife and have children." Chen Yubai replied sincerely.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi said coldly: "Master Guoshi is no different from ordinary young people with weak crowns. How can he make his own decisions and marry when he says he wants to marry?"
The national teacher bowed to her, and asked loudly: "Dare to ask the empress dowager: Is there an express law in the night that the position of the national teacher cannot marry a wife?"
"...none."
"Then the empress dowager and the emperor don't want the minister to marry a wife, and would rather the minister die alone?" the national teacher asked with a sad expression.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi remained silent with a cold face. Murong Tianxia sighed, and his tone has softened a lot: "Master, you marry as soon as you marry, but how can you rob the bride of Zhennan Palace?!"
The national teacher showed doubts on his face, and asked back: "The emperor is clear! The minister's betrothal gift was sent to the Zhennan Palace yesterday, and the Zhennan Palace also accepted it. The minister's wife is already in the minister's new house, and the wedding ceremony was held last night... The wedding ceremony is well planned, where did the robbery come from?"
Murong Tianxia looked at the realistic expression of stern eyebrows, almost couldn't hold back his laughter, pursed his lips, and asked in a serious voice: "Oh? But how did I hear - that woman was originally going to marry the Great General Shenwu of?"
"General Shenwu?" The national teacher became more and more calm, "So where is General Shenwu now? But the general sued the emperor and said that his minister robbed his bride? What if the general was robbed of his bride?" Didn't the general come out to confront the minister?"
At this time, the Great General Shenwu is naturally under... the second prince, and has been tossing and turning Chenghuan.
The corner of the sixth prince's eyes twitched, and he immediately took a step forward and interrupted: "Father! It is a happy event for the Master of the National Teacher to get married. Now that the ceremony has been completed, the Zhennan Palace has not pursued it and accepted it." If you have received the dowry, let's not ask too much!"
"The Sixth Prince's words are wrong!" The Empress Dowager Duan Mi said seriously: "Master Guo Shi robbed the women of the people under the watchful eyes of everyone. If you don't punish them, you will really lose the royal dignity!"
The national teacher's downcast eyes flashed with sarcasm, but when he raised his face, his expression was serious: "Empress Dowager, yesterday the second young master Ji Xi of the Zhennan Palace led the Ji family army to send off his relatives, and His Royal Highness the First Prince led the Shangjing County The guarding soldiers and horses are also there. The minister is alone except for the etiquette of welcoming the bride, where did the empress dowager come from for the crime of 'robbing'?"
The Ji Family Army is the iron-blooded army soul of the Daye Dynasty, and the Shangjing County Guards guard the Shangjing City. If there are two groups of people like this, if they are really robbed, it is not "losing the royal dignity", it is simply fighting The face of the Great Night Dynasty!
The emperor gave the Empress Dowager Duanmi a serious look, and signaled to stop this matter and not to mention it again.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi met his eyes without avoiding it, and refused to back down. Looking at those beautiful eyes, Murong Tianxia was taken aback for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. He only sighed silently, and turned to ask the national teacher: "I won't mention your marriage. Yesterday, what happened to that child again?" thing?"
"Which child?" The national teacher seemed to suddenly remember: "Could it be that the emperor is talking about the child of His Highness the First Prince?"
"Exactly!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair hard, and said angrily, "Yesterday, under the watchful eyes of everyone, you brought that child—so you were the one who broke into the Empress Dowager's bedroom a few days ago?!"
"The emperor's words, I don't understand." The national teacher frowned, full of doubts, "What is the connection between the two?"
He scoundrels so thoroughly and without hesitation.
The emperor was silent.
You can't say: "The child was originally locked in the Empress Dowager's Palace, but now it's in your hands. Naturally, you are the one who broke into the palace and took him away."
The emperor deliberately said this, and handed the handle to Chen Yubai, how could the Empress Dowager Duanmi not see it? But she couldn't get angry at this time, she could only sneer again and again, and praised slowly: "Master Guoshi is so eloquent!"
"Don't dare."
"My lord, don't be humble," the Empress Dowager Duanmi stretched out her hand to support the Qianqian envoy's hand, and sighed: "A few days ago, my lord hurt the eldest prince. When I was in prison, my lord was How to swear to Ai's family, how to fall in love with Qianmi, and love each other... Now in a blink of an eye, she actually married another person!"
Chen Yubai's face was serious, and he said coldly: "The Empress Dowager! I dare to swear to my dead master: I have never said a word about my love for Master Qian Mishi!"
The words that day were all said by Qin Sang, he didn't even nod, at most she pulled his sleeves and didn't open her.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi was completely speechless now.
She knew that this young national teacher was smart and cunning, but she really didn't expect that he could be so shameless and sophistry!
There were people sitting and standing on top, the Empress Dowager Duanmi's face turned blue with anger, and the Qianmi Envoy bowed her head beside her, looking like she was about to cry, showing a good acting skill of infatuation, the emperor's face was solemn, but there was a faint hint of twilight in his eyes. Smiling, the sixth prince stood by the emperor's hand, and rolled his big eyes at Master Guoshi.
Master Guo Shi stood under the hall, his eyes full of frost, seemed to be very irritated by the framed words of the Empress Dowager Duan Mi.
Of course, the emperor wanted to appease his "wronged" Aiqing: "Okay, we were confused about these things at first, but now we can make it clear. There is only one more thing - the national teacher, the king of Zhennan is my right-hand man." General, if you have a conflict with him, I will definitely not forgive you!"
Chen Yubai twitched his lips when he heard it: "I understand!"
The sixth prince who rolled his eyes suddenly said in a brisk tone: "Father, the national teacher is newly married, why didn't the father call the wife of the national teacher into the palace to give an imperial order? By the way, let's see what kind of woman she is. It made the great general Shenwu and the national teacher fall in love at the same time! My son is very curious!"
The emperor smiled slightly and agreed, "Very good."
Master Guoshi was silent and could only agree.
Before leaving, he glanced at the sixth prince, and the pretty little prince standing next to the emperor made a grimace at him.
**
As soon as Master Guoshi left, the anger of the Empress Dowager Duanmi was directed at the emperor: "The emperor just promised to give the Ai family justice, is that the case?!"
The emperor was silent, and said with a embarrassed expression: "If you want to talk about the child, you must mention the empress dowager imprisoning him... If the eldest prince finds out, is the empress dowager willing to confront the eldest prince?"
The Empress Dowager Duanmi choked, and turned to anger: "Then tell me how he lied to Sangsang in order to escape!"
The emperor coldly glanced at Qingguoqingcheng who lowered his head, and his tone suddenly became very indifferent: "Qin Sang, you should restrain yourself, an unmarried woman is so ostentatious in the name of a thousand secret envoys, dealing with many men In between... really lose the royal face!"
Qin Sang raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and answered "Yes" in a low, aggrieved voice.
The Empress Dowager Duanmi saw that the emperor was determined to protect the Master, it was useless to talk too much, she got up with a sneer, and walked away with the Qianmi envoy.
The hall fell silent, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead.
The sixth prince curled his lips at the graceful back of Qianmi Envoy, and said to the emperor in a low voice: "I'm afraid the Empress Dowager was also deceived by that girl Qin Sang!"
"How old are you? Call someone else a girl?" The emperor laughed, "Why did you cover up for the Master of the State Teacher just now? But for your second brother?"
"Look at what my father said! What does this matter have to do with the second elder brother? My son is helping each other when he sees injustice, and he doesn't want the national teacher to be humiliated for nothing!"
"Really?" Murong Tianxia laughed, "If that's the case, why did you ask me to summon Mrs. Guo Shi?"
The beautiful sixth prince bared his teeth: "Who told her to laugh at me! I asked her to come into the palace and see how majestic I am!"
"Why is she laughing at you?" The emperor smiled: "Did she praise you for being beautiful?"
His beautiful sixth son immediately jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on: "Father!"
