After grinding ink for a while, Chen Wang appeared again and observed that Emperor Longfeng hadn’t moved from his place: “Father Emperor, a nobleman’s phrase is his bond. You write the imperial edict right this moment in order that erchen can carry it alongside to the Ministry of Rites for making a backup copy tomorrow. Isn’t that what must be now?”

Emperor Longfeng raised his chin in the direction of Liu Zhongbao.

Liu Zhongbao walked to the bookshelf and pulled out a embellished field. Then he positioned it on the desk with a smile: “Your Highness, why don’t you check out the factor inside?”

Chen Wang put down the ink stick. The palace maids helped him wash and wipe his palms earlier than he lastly opened the field.

Seeing an imperial decree positioned inside, he glanced at Emperor Longfeng.

“Duqing, learn the imperial decree.” Emperor Longfeng walked over to the wood chair adorned with a dragon sample and sat down, “One thing you need is there in it.”

“Your Highness, open it and have a look.” Liu Zhongbao additionally urged him with a smile.

Chen Wang unrolled it. It was an imperial decree conferring the title of xianzhu to Assistant Minister Ming’s daughter. Nonetheless, it was not but sealed.

“Zhen wrote two decrees that day: one bestowing Ming Jingzhou with the title of a rely and the opposite making Ming household’s lady a xianzhu.” Emperor Longfeng picked up the imperial seal and stamped a brilliant pink imprint on the imperial decree: “In case you are content material with going to the Ministry of Rites, Zhen will grant honor to your future father-in-law. If you don’t want to, this honor will probably be conferred upon your future Wangfei.”

As the longer term husband’s father who pampered his son, he wished to offer them some compensation.

“Ming Jingzhou is an understanding and wise individual. It’s lucky that you’ve such a father-in-law.” Emperor Longfeng put the sealed imperial decree again into his son’s palms: “Alright. You may take the imperial decree to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow and have Minister Li announce it in individual.”

“Father Emperor.” Chen Wang held the decree and requested, “So… you had already ready the imperial decree earlier than?”

Then why did he work so exhausting simply now?

“What? You don’t need this imperial decree?” Emperor Longfeng reached out to take the imperial decree: “Really, it’s higher to not give the Ming household’s lady any title. Some folks within the court docket will definitely disagree on this matter. There will probably be fewer disputes if it’s not bestowed.”

In reality, he had no intention of sending it out if Duqing had not introduced up this matter.

“It’s only a minor place of a xianzhu, not that of a princess or a junzhu, what sort of disputes might there presumably be?” Chen Wang put the imperial decree into his bosom. Afraid that Emperor Longfeng would renege, he hurriedly cupped his palms and bowed: “Father Emperor, the palace gate is about to shut. Erchen asks to be excused first.”

“That’s not an issue, you’ll be able to keep the night time within the aspect corridor.” Emperor Longfeng glanced on the floor ink that had largely splashed outdoors already. How was this serving to him grind ink? This was clearly his son wreaking havoc.

“Many thanks on your good intentions, Father Emperor. However erchen ought to nonetheless return to his residence to relaxation in order to keep away from letting the officers ramble on once more.” Chen Wang touched the imperial decree in his arms, “Erchen asks to be excused.”

Watching his son run away with the decree in his arms, Emperor Longfeng dipped the comb within the ink and write just a few characters on a chunk of paper: “Liu Zhongbao, what number of days are there earlier than Qi Wang and Solar household’s Younger Miss get married?”

“Replying to Your Majesty, there are nonetheless six days left.”

After scrutinizing the characters on the paper for a second, he put down his pen: “It was a superb factor that the Solar household’s daughter didn’t get betrothed to my son at the moment.”

“Hold the auspicious time of the marriage the identical as earlier than; there’s no want to vary it.” He thought for a second, “Ship two bolts of the tribute satin over to the Lanxu Palace.”

“His Majesty is so biased!” Ning Fei pushed the 2 bolts of tribute satin to the bottom, her eyes reddened with anger.

Imperial Concubine Yang had simply handed away, so she was apprehensive that Yanze’s marriage could be implicated. However the Imperial Astronomer declared that because the auspicious time had already been set and the marriage preparations have been all carried out, it couldn’t be shifted.

Why did he ship two bolts of cloth, did he suppose he was attempting to shoo away some cat or canine?

“Niangniang.” Bai Shao stooped to choose up the tribute satin from the bottom, “Please don’t get indignant, that may hurt your physique.”

Ning Fei ignored her; since she did not do the duty given to her final time, her significance turned quite a bit smaller to the previous.

“Niangniang.” A eunuch hurriedly entered the room: “At present, folks from the Ministry of Rites went to Assistant Minister Ming’s residence to announce an imperial decree.”

“What decree?”

“A decree granting the title of xianzhu upon Assistant Minister Ming’s daughter.”

“Didn’t His Majesty simply confer the title of rely on Ming Jingzhou?” Ning Fei questioned intently: “Is that this data confirmed?”

“It has been unfold broadly outdoors the Palace.” Noticing her unpleasant expression, the little eunuch spoke in a low voice: “It’s being circulated that His Majesty cares deeply about Assistant Minister Ming so… he has boundless prospects.”

“The three brothers of the Ming household are all extremely valued, necessary officers however they nonetheless wish to have boundless prospects? How a lot might they want?” Ning Fei laughed grimly, “His Majesty is doing this clearly for the sake of Yun Duqing.”

There have been three brothers within the Ming household. So why did all the nice issues fall on Ming Jingzhou’s department?

The explanation behind the Emperor rewarding Ming Jingzhou’s department time and time once more was nothing greater than him having a daughter who was about to marry Chen Wang and enter his residence.

The Ming household was solely a bit of associated to Yun Duqing however they have been favored so brazenly by His Majesty. Her poor Yanze, who was about to marry the Solar household’s daughter very quickly, didn’t get any favor.

By way of significance, household background, and status, how can the Solar household be inferior to the Ming household? 

Therefore, within the closing evaluation, it was simply partiality.

She gritted her tooth and sneered: “That daughter of Ming Jingzhou can be a bit of slut like Su-shi. She likes to play as much as these in energy and has a vicious thoughts.”

Bai Shao, who was standing by the aspect together with her head bowed, raised it barely.

“Hong Mei.” Ning Fei known as her different trusted palace maid: “The Ming household has raised such a superb daughter that all of their relations had significantly acquired His Majesty’s favor. There would undoubtedly be some rumors being unfold outdoors, proper?”

“Niangniang’s phrases are appropriate.” Hong Mei smiled complacently at Bai Shao after receiving Ning Fei’s favor. She bowed her head to reply to her command: “Evidently having a son was not so good as having a daughter now. Who wouldn’t envy the Ming household for this nice fortune!”

Ning Fei nodded in satisfaction: “I want to see how the dignified Ming household reacts to such envy. Would they shed tears of gratitude to Chen Wang or would they continue to be at a respectful distance?”

One Ming Jiuzhu was not necessary; those that had some worth have been the three brothers of the Ming household.

She would by no means enable the three Ming brothers to grow to be Yun Duqing’s supporters. How might the lowly youngster of the daughter of a service provider presumably examine to her Yanze!
