Chapter 164: Bestow Jinniang as Crown Princess
Qin Miaomiao heard that she really wished she was not from the Qin family. Even if Qiao Jinniang is only a good Di today, this is not something that the Qin family can offend.
What's more, Qiao Ruoyun is the wife of his elder brother Mingmi. If they abandon Qiao Ruoyun at this moment, how will their Qin family's face be saved?
On the side of Mrs. Lin Xiang's eyes, there was a faint unhappiness.
Madam Qiao said angrily, "Of course, the serious crime committed by my Qiao mansion cannot be implicated in your Qin family."
Qiu Su's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhong Shishi, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mrs. Qiao, thunder and rain are all graces, not to mention Qiao Jinniang was just a merchant girl in the past.
She is not wronged by the position of Liang Di. It is also a blessing for us to have a Liang Di in the south of the Yangtze River.
As a human being, you still have to be self-aware. "
Although Mrs. Zhong looked down on Qiao Jinniang from the bottom of her heart, she also knew that if she could win over Qiao Jinniang, it would be very beneficial to her daughter in the East Palace in the future.
"Who are you?" Mrs. Qiao glanced coldly.
In Jiangnan, Mrs. Zhong can be said to be the lady of the prefect who is held by everyone, but here, she can only laugh with her:
"The old lady doesn't know me, I am the wife of the governor of Jiangnan.
My daughter-in-law and Qiao Jinniang were classmates back then, and they had studied together in a women's college. "
Mrs. Qin sneered: "Who do you think, a dignified Mrs. Jiangnan governor came to have a relationship with a "Liang Di"?"
The word "liangdi" was full of ridicule by Mrs. Qin.
Zhong Wu'er jumped and said, "Who is clinging to the relationship? Our family doesn't deal with vulgar merchants, mother..."
Madam Zhong glared at Zhong Wu'er.
Li Lingling's voice came from the door again, "It's noon, and the entrance of Hou's mansion is very lively. This princess thought she would have one more younger brother and sister, but unexpectedly, there is one more prince Liangdi... However, I still have to congratulate Miss Qiao. "
Li Lingling knew that because of King Huai's reputation in front of the officials, she should not have come, but she couldn't help it.
She had planned so much for the Crown Princess, but in the end, it was a Qiao Jinniang who appeared out of nowhere and became the Crown Prince.
Seeing her in distress, how could she not laugh at her, Li Lingling took Princess Qi and waited for her concubine to come.
Princess Qi was terrified of Qiao Jinniang from the bottom of her heart, and tried to shrink herself as much as possible so that she would not be seen by Qiao Jinniang.
"Li Lingling, even if Jinniang is only a good lady, then you don't even have to be a good lady!" Fu Lu saw the excitement on the opposite side and came over.
Li Lingling said very proudly: "It's better than many people who claim to be the princess but have become a good Di at this moment."
Mrs. Qin and others laughed softly afterward.
Qiu Su looked at Qiao Jinniang's eyes with sympathy, and said, "Jinniang, you have been too strong since you were a child, so don't do things that make fun of the lobby when you are not sure in the future... …”
Qiao Jinniang said to Li Lingling, "When did I call myself a princess?"
Li Lingling smiled softly and said, "Even though you have never claimed to be a concubine, it is Liang Di who issued the decree today. Why haven't you received the decree?"
...
In the palace, all the officials of Menxia Province knelt in front of the Qinzheng Hall.
The lord of the provincial attendant kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, I was too nervous to take the imperial decree for the matter. I didn't check it for a while, but I even took the wrong imperial decree on file. Please forgive me!"
Emperor Huilin was extremely annoyed, "How could you all get the imperial edict wrong on such an important matter?"
The elders of the provincial servants were also very helpless. It was originally agreed that the decree would be announced early this morning, but someone in the East Palace said that they would postpone the decree until the afternoon.
Behind the Ministry of Rites, historians and others urged them again, and they were newly appointed to the job.
He made a mistake when he was urged to take it, and the person who announced the decree was dumbfounded and didn't know how to work around.
The minister under the door knocked his head and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are convicted of the crime, and they will not escape the blame, but since the imperial decree has been issued, why not let the county head enter the East Palace first, and then issue the imperial decree to confer the concubine?"
"No!"
Lu Chen strode in, glared at everyone in the province, and made a good statement, they could still make these monstrous mistakes!
Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Royal father, although the imperial decree has already been issued, it is not impossible to issue another imperial decree. My son asks the imperial father to go to Qiao's house to issue another imperial decree."
Emperor Huilin had a headache, how could there be a matter of declaring the imperial decree twice a day. First Liang Di and then the Crown Princess, he was slapping himself in the face.
However, the prince's wedding matters have already been prepared.
If Qiao Jinniang first became a Liang Di, and then went to the East Palace to announce the will of the Crown Princess, then the wedding would not be necessary.
As a father, Emperor Huilin still wanted to witness Lu Chen's wedding with his own eyes.
Forget it, shame on you.
Emperor Huilin said, "Just go to Qiao's house again!"
Lu Chen cupped his hands and said, "Father, can you let this son go to declare the decree? This son really can't believe these rubbish!"
Save everyone under the door: "..."
Emperor Huilin said: "Where did the prince go to announce the decree? It's against the rules!"
Lu Chen continued: "Father, what if they declare the wrong imperial edict again? The rules are also set by people, please allow the sons and ministers to go to proclaim the edict!"
Emperor Huilin sighed, "That's all, go there yourself."
Save this bunch of **** under the door, and I really don't know what omissions have been made.
Menxia Province knew that there was the will of the Crown Princess, and should no longer read Liangdi's imperial decree.
No matter how bad it is, it's fine to pretend to be dizzy and come back, but the decree officer still bites the bullet and reads it out.
Lu Chen took the order, went to the province to get the imperial decree, rode on the jujube red horse, and rushed to the Qiao Mansion.
Just at the door, I heard Li Lingling's sarcasm: "Qiao Jinniang, I advise you to obey Liangdi's imperial decree obediently, lest it become a joke in Chang'an City!
After all, you are not worthy of virtue! Be careful not to accept the imperial decree, even the position of Liang Di has to be fulfilled! "
Lu Chen rolled over and dismounted, and when everyone at the door saw His Royal Highness the Prince and saw that he still had the imperial edict in his hand, they all knelt down and saluted.
Mrs. Qin had bad legs and feet, and when she knelt down, her kneecap was painful.
Lu Chen saw that Qiao Jinniang didn't look angry at himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The imperial decree has arrived, and the chief of Jia'an County will accept the decree."
In the eyes of everyone, Qiao Jinniang slowly stepped forward and knelt down.
"Anyuan Hou's daughter-in-law, Jia'an County Master Qiao's Jinniang, Su Yong Demao, has the quality of Hui's softness, softness and virtuousness, and the beauty of Anzheng, gentle and courteous, quiet and upright, and outstanding in appearance. Chen is the right age to marry, choose a virtuous wife, the two of them are made in heaven and earth, and they are talented and beautiful. They specially propose you to be married to the prince as the wife. Conferred the title of prince concubine. , declare to the four seas, respect this."
When the three words of the Crown Princess came out, the whole room was shocked.
Mrs. Qin, Li Lingling, Mrs. Zhong, etc. turned green and white, and they were extremely beautiful!
Qiao Jinniang raised her hands and said, "The minister and daughter take the order."
Lu Chen put the imperial edict in Qiao Jinniang's hand.
Qiao Jinniang put the imperial decree on the incense case. After everyone in the Qiao family kowtowed, Qiao Jinniang put the imperial decree into the Qiao family ancestral hall and was worshipped with incense and so on.
Going out the door again, Qiao Jinniang saw Madam Qin and others kneeling at the door, and asked curiously, "Why are you all still kneeling?"
Mrs. Qin and the others twitched the corners of their mouths, only to feel a burning pain on her face, but she wanted to stand up, would you dare?
Lu Chen, who was sitting at the door, raised his tea cup and slowly took a sip of tea: "I've come here. It would be rude to leave without seeing the Crown Princess."
The housekeeper beside An Yuanhou took a chair very politely, placed it beside Lu Chen, and invited Qiao Jinniang to take a seat.
Lu Chen swept to the people kneeling on the ground and said, "Princess Huai is of the highest grade, why don't you ask Princess Huai to come first?"
