Shen Wan was unhappy, and others were murmuring in their hearts. They didn't understand why the emperor made this arrangement. Even Shen Jing, who claimed to know the emperor very well, couldn't figure it out.

Shen Wan and Shen Ying got married on the same day, and the Pingyang Hou Mansion was bustling, but what about the Ling Prince's Mansion and the Jin Prince's Mansion?

The civil and military officials did not have the ability to separate themselves, so they could only choose one of the two palaces to have a wedding banquet. The unfavored King Ling and the favored King Jin, all the officials could imagine how they would choose their knees.

Even if the emperor disliked Prince Ling, he would not humiliate his son like this, not to mention that Prince Ling married the apple of his eye, Shen Jing.

As for what the emperor was going to do, Shen Jing found that he could not see through the emperor more and more.

Others also looked at each other.

When the father-in-law saw that no one accepted the imperial edict after he had read it out, he reminded Shen Jing, "Marquis Pingyang, please accept the edict."

Shen Jing raised his hands above his head, "I accept the order."

The father-in-law put the imperial edict of Ming Huang into Shen Jing's hand and said with a smile, "Two princesses from the same family came out of the palace on the same day. This is the first time in Kyoto. It is really gratifying."

The one who came to announce the decree was the emperor's confidant Eunuch Yuan. Shen Jing personally escorted him out of the palace and asked, "Eunuch Yuan, can you tell me why the emperor asked King Ling and King Jin to hold a wedding in one day?"

Eunuch Yuan did not hide anything, and said truthfully, "The queen felt that the wedding banquet of King Jin and Miss Shen should be held earlier, but she found Qin Tianjian and found that the nearest auspicious day was the eighteenth day of next month. Prince Ling and Miss Shen The wedding date had been set long ago, and the Pingyang Marquis Mansion was asked to postpone the wedding of the two. When King Jin couldn't explain it, he suggested to the emperor that they should marry on the same day. The emperor thought about it for a while and then agreed. "

The Queen's suggestion was obviously to avenge Shen Wan for not choosing her son Xie Jingyin that day. The Emperor knew very well that the Emperor agreed to the Queen's suggestion because he was annoyed that his daughter chose Prince Ling? But these days, he didn't notice that the emperor was unhappy with him...

In the main hall, the emperor decreed that Shen Ying be given to Prince Jin as his concubine. This finally cleared up the old lady's worries. She could finally let go of her worries after a few days. The very happy old lady rewarded everyone in the Hou Mansion with two gifts. Money every month.

The servants in the mansion followed suit, and they were all so happy that they could not open their mouths from ear to ear. There were only four girls in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, two princesses and a quasi-governor's wife were born. Only the marriage of the three girls was left. It's not certain, even the fourth girl will be the Duke's wife in the future, and the third girl will definitely marry well. There is no one in the capital who can marry a daughter better than their Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Congratulations continued, and the blush on Shen Ying's face did not subside until Shen Rong poured cold water on her, "It doesn't matter if the second sister wants to get married first. If you marry the eldest sister on the same day, you will definitely be outshone by the eldest sister's dowry."

Shen Wan's dowry was four thousand taels more than Shen Ying's from her father-in-law alone. There were also dowries given by Shen Jing, the dowry left by the Yun family, and the Yun family...

Unless the second roommate gives all his money to Shen Ying, he can't hope to compare with Shen Wan.

The old lady frowned, and when Shen Jing came back after seeing off Eunuch Yuan, the old lady said, "Ying'er and Wan'er are getting married in the same day. Her dowry is too small, and the King of Jin is not good-looking. I think Gong Zhong also followed Wan'er's advice. Prepare a separate case for Ying'er, and when she gets married, send part of Wan'er's dowry to Prince Ling's Mansion in advance..."

Shen Jing raised her hand to interrupt the old lady, and said with a gloomy face, "The emperor and the queen must arrange the marriage of Prince Jin on the same day as Prince Ling. I can't stop it, but I, Shen Jing, will not accommodate anyone else when I marry my daughter!"

Prince Ling is his son-in-law, and the queen doesn't give Prince Ling face, just like Shen Jing. She also wants his daughter to secretly send the dowry to Prince Ling's house in consideration of Prince Jin's good looks. How could Shen Jing agree?

After saying this, Shen Jing turned around and left.

In Shen Wan's memory, this was the first time Shen Jing said such serious words to the old lady, but it was to protect her. Shen Wan's nose was sore.

Shen Wan was moved to tears, and the old lady's face turned ugly. She didn't expect that Shen Jing would contradict her in front of so many people, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

After Shen Jing left, Shen Wan also left. Watching her leave, Shen Ying looked at the old lady aggrievedly, "Grandma, my uncle only cares about my eldest sister. It doesn't matter if my dowry is a little less than that of my eldest sister. It's so much less. You will be laughed at.”

The old lady's anger at being contradicted by Shen Jing was still in her heart, and she said, "Grandma can still wrong you."

Now she just wants to know how the second wife persuaded the queen, and why the queen wanted Shen Ying and Shen Wan to leave the cabinet in one day. She hoped it was not what she thought.

The old lady returned to Qinghui Courtyard, drank half a cup of tea, and then the second lady came back from the palace.

She entered the room with a smile. After all, her daughter could be the royal concubine of the King of Jin. But when she raised her hand to reject the maid and mother-in-law, the smile on the second wife's face disappeared.

The old lady knew that what the second wife was going to tell her was not a good thing.

The second wife told the old lady everything about the queen's plans. The old lady frowned and said, "You also agree?"

The second wife pursed her lips and said, "If I don't agree, the Queen will not give Ying'er the position of Princess."

After a pause, the second wife said in a cold tone, "With the imperial edict, Ying'er's position as the concubine is confirmed. What I promised to the queen may not come true."

……

As for Shen Wan, she returned to Qinglan Garden, drank a cup of tea, and then picked up the embroidery stretcher to embroider the belt.

She had to embroider her eldest brother's belt as soon as possible and then embroider it for Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan expected that by choosing Xie Jingyan, he would be resented by the King of Jin and the Queen, but she did not expect that the Queen would suppress him in such a heart-wrenching way, with the Emperor acting as an accomplice. She had no intention of marrying again in her life, and Xie Jingyan was forced to join forces. Shen Wan didn't care how the wedding banquet turned out, but Xie Jingyan might not care. After all, it was about face.

Shen Wan felt guilty, but could do nothing but embroider the belt he wanted as soon as possible.

Inside the house, Shen Wan was sitting on a small couch embroidering a belt. Most of the belt had been embroidered and should be ready tonight.

Shen Wanxiu was serious, and Yinshuang took the tea out. When she came back, she put the tea cup on the small table and said, "Miss, the second wife has taken back the housekeeper's rights..."

She really couldn't wait to take back the housekeeper's rights after Shen Ying's matter was settled. However, Shen Wan knew that if Shen Ying hadn't had an incident at Changshan Palace, the second wife would have asked the third wife to give back the housekeeper's rights the day after she copied the Buddhist scriptures. give her.

Shen Wan asked casually, "Did the third wife have a good time?"

How is that possible? That is stewardship.

Yinshuang replied, "The third wife doesn't want to be friends with her. She said that the second girl is getting married soon. The second wife has to be busy preparing a dowry for the second girl. She has nothing to do and can take care of her for a while. The second wife disagrees and says that it is more convenient for her to take care of the house. Prepare a dowry for the second girl, otherwise the embroidery house would have to go to the third wife to buy anything. The old lady also helped the second lady to speak. No matter how reluctant the third wife was, she had no choice but to hand over the housekeeping rights. I heard from the little maid that the old lady wanted to To appease the third wife’s dissatisfaction, I rewarded her with a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets.”

Even the old lady knows that the third wife cannot covet the housekeeping rights, otherwise it will affect the unity of the brothers. Why can the father feel free to hand over all the housekeeping rights to the second wife? It is strange that this does not encourage the ambition of the second wife.
