Chapter 219: Granting marriage between Zhao Manman and Chen Wentong!
After hearing what Qin Beiyu said, Zhao Manman was struck by lightning. She felt cold all over and stood there in the wind, feeling disheveled.
The little girl was really shocked. These days, she felt that she and Qin Beiyu were a match made in heaven, because the man saved her life on the road, and this was their unbreakable bond.
Moreover, Qin Beiyu's attitude towards her was indeed very good. She knew that Qin Beiyu was the God of War of the Qin Dynasty. He was a cold person, but he was very gentle to her!
But seeing that Gong Yan was about to arrive, and the man had no intention of looking for her, she really couldn't sit still anymore.
Today, Gong Yan will probably be granted marriage by the Queen. But what if the Queen doesn't know about her fate with the man and something goes wrong?
Her grandmother wrote a letter to the Empress Dowager, which actually meant the same thing. Why would the prince say that he has someone in his heart? How is this possible? The prince has been in the northern border for so many years? Even her father praised the prince Qin Beiyu!
He had just returned and had not heard of his engagement. His grandmother had to find out everything before sending him back!
Qin Beiyu looked at the little girl's pale face. He knew that he could not give her any illusions, otherwise he would harm her!
The man nodded, turned around and walked away with big strides. He entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony and paid his respects to his grandmother, and presented her the gift that Shen Ruyi had brought.
"Your grandson wishes your grandmother good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as long as the Southern Mountains!
This pair of jade ruyi is a birthday gift from your grandson. I hope you get all the happiness and good luck!
The ginseng in this brocade box is a birthday gift that Ruyi asked his grandson to bring to you. It is said that this ginseng is 500 years old and was passed down from the county lady's ancestors!"
hiss!
Everyone gasped! Everyone in the hall took a deep breath. Oh my god! Another 500-year-old ginseng. How many good things do the Fulu County Lady and the Little County Lady have?
Chen Shengda almost broke his chopsticks. How much private property does the bitch have? His heart seemed to be bleeding. After so many years, every time he mentioned Shen and his daughter, he still couldn't control his resentment!
People were talking about it. A 500-year-old ginseng from Lady Fulu was sold to the ancestor of the Su family. The ancestor is now 110 years old and still very strong.
It can be seen that the five hundred year old ginseng is the elixir of immortality. The county lady and her daughter were willing to take out even this priceless treasure and present it to the queen as a birthday gift. It seems that the county lady Fulu has made up her mind to marry her daughter into the royal family.
The family has given away all their wealth, how can they not marry off their daughter?
Everyone was amazed. Emperor Bogu and Empress Su looked at each other and smiled happily.
Empress Su said lovingly: "Ruyi is a child who is worry-free and filial. I am so happy.
I will keep this ginseng and use it to prolong the life of my family members in the future!"
Emperor Bogu said with a smile: "Our Ruyi went to Shunjing Prefecture with her father to do some work this time. Otherwise, this little girl would have been trying to please others and get some good food tonight!"
Many people followed suit and spoke well of Princess Fulu and the young princess, and some even flattered them by saying that the young princess and the prince were a perfect match!
The Crown Prince Qin Jinan and his wife looked at each other. The man gently held his wife's hand and said with tenderness in his eyes: "My beloved, our Ruyi and Beiyu are getting along well. It can be seen that there is a chance!"
Crown Princess Wei Meijuan covered her chest with excitement: "Really? Ruyi really gets along well with her cousin? That's great.
It would be great if Ruyi could marry into our family. Ruyi is a child that we have spoiled since she was young!"
Seeing his eldest grandson coming to present a birthday gift, Emperor Bogu took the lead in toasting his queen!
The banquet was announced to begin. The atmosphere was joyful tonight, with people drinking and chatting. The Hall of Supreme Harmony was full of joy, as everyone felt the peace and happiness because of the Empress' birthday.
When the meal was almost over, a little girl came lightly to the center of the hall!
"Your servant Zhao Manman wishes Her Majesty a long life!
This is a red coral sent by my grandmother, which symbolizes good fortune. I present it to the Queen Mother!"
A red coral potted plant was carried up by two little eunuchs. Six small red lanterns were hung on the coral tree in the coral pot. The small lanterns were obviously exquisitely made and looked very festive!
Queen Su looked at the potted plant and the small lantern on it and said happily: "Oh, Lanxiang's craftsmanship is still so good!
She is my best friend. When we were little, we learned to make these little red lanterns from Lanxiang’s grandmother.
Lanxiang is more clever and skillful than I am. Every year she would make a few for me and hang them around the house to create a festive atmosphere. They were so beautiful!
So many years have passed, and Lanxiang is still thinking about me, which really makes me feel warm in my heart.
Manman, you are such a good child for taking care of your grandmother for so many years. In a blink of an eye, you have grown up so much.
You will stay in the capital after this. If there is a suitable young man, I will arrange a marriage for you. Your grandmother believes in me, and I will open my eyes and pick a rich husband for you!"
The little girl Zhao Manman's face turned red all of a sudden, but she unconsciously glanced at Prince Qin Beiyu.
Emperor Bogu and Empress Su, who were sitting at the top, saw Zhao Manman looking at Qin Beiyu at a glance.
The couple immediately had a bad feeling, wondering if this little girl had fallen in love with their grandson.
Everyone in the capital knows that his grandson likes Ruyi. Now this little girl is back and has fallen in love with his grandson. That's not okay! He should marry this little girl as soon as possible.
Emperor Bogu was a shrewd man. He smiled and said, "General Zhao Hai is a loyal and good general. His daughter is naturally a good one. Queen, you should spend the next few days to select a young and promising man to marry Zhao Hai's daughter!"
Empress Su smiled lovingly: "Okay, I will choose one in the next few days. Good boy, go back and sit down to eat first."
The Crown Princess said gently: "Bei Yu, why hasn't our Ruyi come back yet? I heard that she has made great contributions in Shunjing Prefecture and opened a shop. This child has a brain for making money!"
When Zhao Manman was walking back, she heard everyone talking about the young county master Shen Ruyi. She had just come back and really didn't know who the young county master Shen Ruyi was.
After Zhao Manman came back, she sat next to her second uncle Zhao Jian. Zhao Jian, the younger brother of General Zhao Hai, was a fifth-rank Wencheng in the Ministry of Rites. He was in charge of the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the warehouse manager of the utensils used in various ceremonies hosted by the Ministry of Rites. It was a simple official position.
Because Zhao Manman is going to attend a birthday banquet today, Zhao Jian, who is not of high enough rank, was also invited. He has to bring his niece with him, otherwise how can he let a little girl attend the palace banquet by herself?
The little girl turned around and asked her uncle who the young county lady Shen Ruyi was.
Zhao Jian was a smooth person, and he got a position of a moderately important official with the help of his elder brother. But the two brothers only had a little girl, Zhao Manman, so the more Zhao Jian looked at his niece, the more beautiful she became!
He gave his little niece some basic knowledge: "Manman, the little county princess is the new wife of the Duke of Fuguo, and she is the burden brought by the county princess Fulu. Because the county princess is hereditary, the little girl is also called the little county princess. She and the prince are cousins without blood relationship.
When the prince came back, he showed great favor to the young princess. The royal family wants the prince to marry the young daughter of Princess Fulu!"
The little girl's heart suddenly turned cold. She looked at everyone in the hall and couldn't help thinking that the man she had her eyes on actually had someone in his heart.
The little girl was staring at Qin Beiyu in a daze. When she turned around, she saw a young man sitting not far away, staring at her in a daze!
The man looked gentle and polite, a handsome scholar with a jade-like face. He gave people a gentle and jade-like feeling!
Zhao Jian followed his niece's gaze, turned around and saw that it was Chen Wentong. He even nodded at Zhao Manman.
Zhao Jian introduced: "That is Chen Wentong, the eldest son of Chen Shengda, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He is a scholar and is very good at studying. He will probably take the exam this autumn!
Speaking of which, Chen Wentong is the stepbrother of the young county lady Shen Ruyi. The biological father of the young county lady Shen Ruyi, Chen Shengda, abandoned his wife and daughter in order to marry the widowed daughter of Minister Pan, and brought Chen Wentong with him! "
Zhao Manman...
"The capital is still in a mess..."
She unconsciously looked at Chen Wentong again, and the man also looked over. The four of them looked at each other awkwardly, and they nodded to each other.
Emperor Bogu and Empress Su, who were sitting at the top of the hall, saw the whole thing from a distance.
No one knew what the old couple said to each other, and the eunuch Nanfeng went to the back of the hall and took a look around, then came back quickly to report.
"Reporting to the queen, the young man who just stared at Miss Zhao is Chen Wentong from the Chen family!"
Zhao Manman never dreamed that on the morning of the third day after the Queen's birthday banquet, she would receive an imperial decree from the Queen in the palace to grant her marriage.
The little girl almost fainted. The Queen Mother actually granted her a marriage with Chen Wentong!
