Old Mrs. Li was making herself look bad. After making a fuss a few times and realizing that it was completely useless, she stopped.
Li San was completely overwhelmed by his gambling debts. Not only that, someone went to the government to sue him, saying that he had lent money at high interest rates and even caused a death.
Shuntian Prefecture issued a document to arrest him, and he became even more of a lost dog. The Li family specially opened a clan temple to expel him from the family.
When Wei Yuyou heard Zihe say this, there was no expression on her face. Perhaps it was easier for a couple to fall out than to love each other for a lifetime. From the moment Li San always spoke rudely and hurtfully, always tricked her into squandering her dowry, and schemed against her and her family and children, she had completely seen through this man.
If there was anything that he was dissatisfied with about the divorce, it was that he felt that this result was too easy for Li San.
But now, even this little bit of dissatisfaction is gone.
This is the retribution that people like Li San deserve.
She smiled, and seeing that Zihe felt a little relieved, she shook her head. In comparison, she herself did not have any major emotional ups and downs about these things.
But it’s never good to implicate Wei An.
When I was young and ignorant, I just wanted to outdo others and stand out. It was only after I got married that I understood why my family always taught them to live in harmony with sisters and to support each other. If even the people in my own family are like fighting cocks, who can you expect to help you when you are down
She sighed, inexplicably, "It's all my fault."
Wei An was holding Zhao Ge'er up and feeding him some cakes. When he heard her say that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her. Seeing the melancholy look on her face, he knew that she was talking about his marriage with Shen Chen. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Feicui running towards this direction in a hurry in the distance.
As if she had noticed something, Wei Yuyou turned around to take a look, and then stood up with a serious expression: "What's going on? Sister Feicui would never be so reckless..."
But now she was running so fast that she didn't even care about her manners.
Wei An was also a little stunned. Remembering that the old lady had invited an imperial physician last night, he stood up with a worried look on his face and handed Zhao Ge'er to Zihe to hold.
Feicui arrived at the pavilion in the blink of an eye. She had no time to go upstairs. As she walked, she said, "Princess, Fifth Miss, please hurry...Princess, please go to the front hall to receive the decree..."
Receive an order
Wei Yuyou was startled, and immediately held Wei An's hand with a worried look: "I don't know what it is..."
Wei An was not too surprised. No matter what the decree was, he would know after receiving it. He couldn't guess what it was here.
She quickly returned to Old Lady Wei's courtyard and changed her clothes before following Old Lady Wei to the front hall to receive the order.
Wei Yangqing had already asked people to prepare the incense table and other items. It was Huang Xing who delivered the imperial edict. At this time, he was talking to Wei Yangqing. When he saw her and Old Lady Wei coming, he smiled slightly and said, "You two are here? Receive the imperial edict!"
Huang Xing and Shen Chen were familiar with each other. The fact that he could show this expression meant that it was not a bad thing. Old Mrs. Wei squeezed Wei An's hand, told her not to worry, and slowly knelt down.
Wei An also knelt down immediately.
Huang Xing slowly unfolded the scroll of the imperial edict: "In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: There is now a daughter of the Wei family, Wei An, a descendant of an aristocratic family in the capital, with a title of virtuous, upright and elegant manners, well-versed in etiquette, with poetry and books passed down from generation to generation, and she is also gifted with a talent for writing poems about catkins. Now she is at the age of marriage and is waiting to be married. Tan Zhiyingxiang and Pingxi Hou Shen Chen are a perfect match made in heaven. Now the Emperor decrees that they shall be married, and grant them a marriage certificate and clothing, and record it in the law."
Wei Yangqing frowned as he listened nearby.
The decree to grant marriage has been issued once, and that was before the New Year... ... Why is there another decree now
Old Madam Wei was also stunned. The imperial decree granting the marriage was really interesting... It praised Wei An, but only mentioned Shen Chen...
She couldn't help but look up at Huang Xing.
Huang Xing, however, had already smiled and put away the imperial edict and handed it to Wei An: "Princess, please accept the edict."
Wei An raised his hands above his head and respectfully took the imperial edict. He stood up and heard Huang Xing say, "The emperor said that Prince Zheng was away a few years ago because he was in poor health. There are many hateful people outside who speculate on the emperor's intentions, so we should just set the record straight. The marriage certificate has been issued. The Linjiang Palace also has a copy of this edict. The emperor wants the Ministry of Rites and the Linjiang Palace to jointly organize the wedding... and has asked the Imperial Observatory to calculate the date. I would like to congratulate the princess here first!"
This imperial edict seems weird no matter how you look at it.
Could it be that Emperor Longqing really has no time left and has disregarded these rules
What does it mean to have two decrees for one marriage
Old Mrs. Wei was worried, and even Wei Yangqing frowned in confusion.
Huang Xing smiled, looked at Wei An meaningfully, and said softly: "Don't worry, Princess, this is what the Marquis asked for. Although it is against the rules, but... the Marquis is not a person who values rules, and the emperor doesn't take rules so seriously now."
Of course, it was only because he had something that made him not respect the rules that it was worth it for him to go against King Linjiang.
Wei An knew it all, and he felt a little emotional. He understood why Shen Chen had disappeared in the past two days, but he didn't know what method Shen Chen had used. After a long time, he whispered, "Thank you, eunuch."
Huang Xing shook his head. Seeing the people from the Wei family handing him a red envelope which showed that the contents were extremely generous, he took it calmly and went to have some snacks with Wei Yangqing as he was treated to it.
Old Mrs. Wei then led Wei An back to the backyard.
In any case, with this imperial edict, and what Huang Xing said, if the Imperial Observatory selects a date and arranges the wedding, there will definitely be no obstacles to this marriage. This clear imperial edict has been issued, and Prince Zheng is also there. No matter what, Prince Linjiang will not be able to embarrass Emperor Longqing and Prince Zheng again.
When they returned to the courtyard, the Second Madam, the Third Madam and the Fourth Miss Xu were already there. When they saw them come back, they hurriedly came to greet them with different expressions.
Old Madam Wei exempted them from the formalities and asked them to sit down before she told them the imperial decree she had received today. At the end, she said, "Be at ease, this is a good thing."
Hasn’t the decree been issued once
The Second, Third and Fifth Ladies all looked at each other in confusion, but since Emperor Longqing had issued a new decree, the current deadlock was broken, which was a good thing no matter how you looked at it, so they all became happy.
The Third Lady also laughed and said, "Speaking of which, tonight's banquet will be even more lively. For such a big happy event, the decree was announced here. I'm afraid that the Zheng Wang Mansion will have to send someone to notify them..."
In the eyes of Emperor Longqing, Wei An was just the adopted daughter of Prince Zheng, not his biological daughter, so the imperial edict would naturally be sent to the Wei family.
Although according to the rules, it should be sent to Prince Zheng's Mansion, but how can he care about it now? (To be continued)
