"Dad, how's it going? When will the edict come? I'm ready."

Wen Ziyi's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw Wen Yuzhang coming back. He quickly stood up, held up his skirt, and trotted towards him.

Wen Yuzhang had a dark face and looked at his daughter running towards him. He felt like there was a ball of cotton in his heart and he couldn't breathe. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to speak.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Wen Ziyi saw that Wen Yuzhang's expression was not right, her heart skipped a beat, she frowned, and nervously tugged on his sleeve.

"The imperial edict of marriage has been issued." Wen Yuzhang said in a low voice as he walked towards the pavilion in the courtyard.

"I know, I asked when the decree will be announced." Wen Ziyi followed behind and asked nonstop.

"The Prince Regent... resisted the decree." Wen Yuzhang came to the pavilion and sat down. He slapped the table with his right hand, his eyes full of evil.

"What!" Wen Ziyi took a few steps back in disbelief. If it weren't for the help of the maid, he almost fell to the ground.

"I don't believe that the prince would treat me like this. I am the only eldest lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion! In terms of background, appearance, and talents, no lady in the capital can compare with me! Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

"This is a fact. The imperial edict granting marriage has been issued. The regent should resist the edict and break the edict and go straight to the palace to meet the saint. It is estimated that by now, the news has spread in the capital." Wen Yuzhang looked at the crazy daughter in front of him. A trace of distress flashed across his eyes, and then there was a firmness in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

"Don't worry, stay in your room and prepare to get married. Your father will definitely let you marry into the Regent's Palace."

"Really? Daddy." Hearing Wen Yuzhang's assurance, Wen Ziyi laughed through tears, walked forward obediently, took Wen Yuzhang's arm, and said in a soft voice: "Ziyi knows that daddy loves me the most. ”

While the two were talking, the housekeeper walked over quickly.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yuzhang patted Wen Ziyi's back comfortingly and looked up.

"My lord, there is a decree from the palace. Tomorrow we will prepare a concubine selection ceremony for the emperor. What is different from previous years is that this time the selection of concubines is limited to officials in the capital. All officials above the fifth rank in the capital have unmarried people in their families. Every girl, no matter the concubine, must enter the palace and choose a concubine."

"Okay, I understand, step back." Wen Yuzhang waved his hand nonchalantly.

It must be the emperor who wants to use some means to get Ziyi to marry into the palace by selecting a concubine.

In the capital, the mansions of officials, big and small, were all abuzz with the sudden concubine selection ceremony.

Although I don’t know why he suddenly chose a concubine, if a woman in the family can enter the palace, it will be of great help to the interests of the family.

"Dad, am I also going to the concubine selection ceremony?" Wen Ziyi looked at the butler's leaving figure strangely. For some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

Logically speaking, a woman who is engaged does not need to attend, but if the regent refuses to marry, it is equivalent to not agreeing to the marriage, and he is not considered engaged.

However, the emperor did not cancel the marriage grant, nor did he punish the regent.

She didn't know whether she should go or not.

"Go, of course you want to go!" Wen Yuzhang thought it was a trap set up by the emperor so that Wen Ziyi could marry him, so there was no reason not to go. Little did he know that it was because of his decision that he personally pushed Wen Ziyi into hell.

"But what if my daughter is chosen?" Wen Ziyi was still a little worried, biting her lips and looking at Wen Yuzhang with tearful eyes.

She doesn't want to marry the emperor.

At such an old age, he could be her father. How could he be compared with the powerful, young and handsome regent.

Wen Yuzhang gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Wen Ziyi's eyes, and coaxed patiently: "Don't worry, dad and the emperor have made an agreement in private, and they will definitely allow you to marry into the prince's palace. Don't you still believe in dad?"

……

One day after another, the whole capital remained silent until sunset.

The culprit who caused all this was sitting leisurely at the dinner table, eating dinner with Guan Yao and Prime Minister Wen.

"Are you saying you want to marry Ziyi into the palace?" The Prime Minister's wife ate the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall made from ingredients specially taken out by Shangguan Yao. After hearing this, she looked up at Jun Jiuye.

"Yeah." Jun Jiuye couldn't help but nervously clenched the wine glass in his hand.

He wanted to know if the Prime Minister's wife would stop him, so he made preparations for them before it happened. It would be bad if Shangguan Yao had a problem with his family because of his impulsiveness.

However, Jun Jiuye was overly concerned after all, even though the Prime Minister's wife usually loved Wen Ziyi more than her own children and grandchildren.

But that was just the Prime Minister's blood flowing through Wen Ziyi's body, and there was a trace of Lian'er. At this moment, Lian'er's whereabouts were already known, and her own granddaughter was still worthy of being by her side. How could she care about a substitute anymore.

Moreover, although she has always regarded Wen Ziyi as a substitute, she has never been harsh on her in terms of food and clothing over the years, and for her own reasons, her children and grandchildren have doted on her since childhood.

Wen Ziyi enjoyed the love that was supposed to be from Yao'er, but she still bullied Yao'er and interfered with Yao'er's happiness. How could she bear it?

Besides, although she has always had a grudge against the Prime Minister's concubine, her upbringing prevented her from doing anything against the concubine, but she would not be so confused that she would do anything for the descendants of a concubine. My own good granddaughter is patient.

"You are free to do as you like. No one can bully my darling anyway." The Prime Minister's wife looked away, gave Shangguan Yao a piece of ribs, and looked lovingly at her granddaughter whose cheeks were bulging as she ate.

"What do you think, Prime Minister?" Jun Jiuye felt relieved when he saw the Prime Minister's wife acquiesced, and then asked Prime Minister Wen what he thought.

"I listen to Madam." Prime Minister Wen didn't know Jun Jiuye's worries, and expressed his attitude without hesitation.

Because of Wang Zhen's incident, my wife had been wronged for so many years, but the deal was already done and nothing could be changed.

Now, it is absolutely impossible for him to let his good granddaughter suffer this injustice again.

But as a civil servant, he could not stop things from happening except for his desperate advice. Now that Jun Jiuye had the means, how could he stop it.

As for Wen Ziyi, she was indeed his granddaughter, but her performance just now was enough to chill him.

People always have to bear the consequences of their choices.

He is old, so let the young people solve their own problems.

Shangguan Yao felt warm in her heart when she saw Prime Minister Wen and the Prime Minister's wife defending without hesitation.

Originally, she was a little worried about substitute literature. After all, in the twenty-fifth century, she would also read romance novels in her spare time.

Why treat your biological daughter so harshly for the sake of your adopted daughter?

Why does the whole family pamper the fake Chitose and abuse the real daughter?

She was still having a headache because she might have to go through these bloody things, but now she looked at the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's wife who were unconditionally on her side, and a smile filled her face.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. I am happy to find my granddaughter today. Hahahahahaha, come on, Ye boy, drink!" The big stone in Prime Minister Wen's heart for many years finally fell to the ground, and his whole face was red. Jun Jiuye drank one cup after another.

The Prime Minister's wife understood his mood and did not stop him, allowing him to drink to his heart's content. I happily followed Guan Yao to eat and chat.

The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the house is peaceful.

Until Prime Minister Wen was so drunk that he passed out on the table.

Shangguan Yao gave him some hangover medicine and spiritual spring water, and then asked Jun Jiuye to carry Prime Minister Wen to the side hall to rest.

When the Prime Minister's wife saw that Prime Minister Wen had slept in the Regent's Mansion, she had an excuse not to go back, so she quickly took Shangguan Yao's hand and expressed that she wanted to sleep with her.

Jun Jiuye glanced at the sleeping Prime Minister Wen on the bed, and then at the Prime Minister's wife who was being nagged. She held hands tightly and looked helpless and happy, Shangguan Yao, with a trace of envy in her eyes.

very nice.

Ever since my mother passed away, I have never experienced this kind of care from my relatives.

Jun Jiuye stood there for a while, then quietly left the room and closed the door gently. The smile in his eyes gradually faded away, and he looked towards the direction of the palace with murderous intent.

Storm is coming
