Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

So she frowned and replied with a little dissatisfaction: "Uncle, please don't make fun of me. You know how I have lived these years. There is no happy event worth celebrating."

Tong Guogang smiled mysteriously and urged: "Hurry up and receive the imperial edict. When you receive the imperial edict, you will naturally understand."

At this time, a voice came: "Old minister Suo Etu pays homage to Princess Jianning and Princess Zhaoyi." It turned out that Suo Etu had arrived. He bowed respectfully to Jianning and A Ke, and then asked: "Princess, where is Brother Wei?"

When Jianning heard Suo'etu mention Wei Xiaobao, her face darkened. She remembered how Wei Xiaobao was unwilling to accept the imperial edict, and she could not help but feel angry. So she responded unhappily, "He's dead!"

Suo Etu naturally understood that Jianning was just angry for a moment, and he knew very well that Wei Xiaobao would not come easily to accept the order. But this play had to be performed realistically so that everyone in the world could see their sincerity. Therefore, even if Wei Xiaobao was not present, they had to continue the play.

Suo Etu smiled and comforted Jianning: "Haha, Princess, don't worry. Lord Wei may have something important to do. However, as a princess, you can accept the imperial edict on his behalf."

At this time, the eunuchs on the side began to get busy, setting up the incense table, preparing wine and other items needed for the ceremony. The whole scene looked solemn and dignified.

After everything was ready, Princess Jianning and Shuangshuang knelt together in front of the incense table to receive the decree.

The eunuch Wen Youdao excitedly opened the imperial edict and read aloud in his shrill voice: "The Emperor decrees..."

What he read was exactly the same as the suggestion that Soetu put forward to Emperor Kangxi yesterday. First, to restore Wei Xiaobao's official position and make the title of Wei Jueye worthy of its name; second, to grant the marriage, and within three days, Princess Jianning would marry Wei Jueye and hold the eldest princess' wedding; third, to confer Princess Zhaoyi as a goddess and give her a royal surname.

After hearing this, Princess Jianning was so excited that she could not control her emotions. She completely ignored her status as a princess and burst into tears.

Over the years, she had always hoped that Xiaobao could become a high-ranking official, so that she could marry him legitimately. Now all these wishes were fulfilled at once, and the sudden happiness made her feel extremely excited.

What surprised her even more was that her daughter was given a royal surname, which meant that she would be written into the royal family tree like herself.

After the decree was announced, Tong Guogang saw that Princess Jianning had lost her composure due to excessive excitement, and hurriedly reminded her: "Jianning, why don't you thank me quickly!"

Jianning took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, took the imperial edict from Wen Youdao, and said respectfully to the incense table: "Thank you, Emperor brother, for your grace!" Then he turned to look at Shuangshuang and gently instructed: "Shuangshuang, say thank you to your uncle!"

However, Shuangshuang blinked her big eyes and answered innocently: "Mother, uncle is not here, and he didn't give me any candy, so why should I say thank you?" As soon as this sentence came out, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.

At this time, Suo Etu came forward, his face filled with joy, and said: "Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations, Princess! The Emperor specially appointed the uncle and the old minister as marriage envoys, and on the wedding day, the Emperor, the Empress and the Empress Dowager will be present. Therefore, we may need to stay at your house for the next two days to prepare for the wedding. I hope the princess can facilitate it!"

Jianning nodded happily and said gratefully, "Thank you for your trouble, Uncle and Lord Suo. The servants in the mansion are at your disposal. We must make this wedding a grand occasion!"

Suo Etu continued, "The Emperor has specifically instructed that, despite the urgency of the time, all arrangements must be carried out in accordance with the eldest princess's specifications, and Princess Jianning must not be allowed to suffer any injustice."

Hearing this, Jianning was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes again. She choked up and said, "Brother Emperor is so good to me..."

Tong Guogang smiled and said, "Jianning, don't just be happy, invite Xiaobao out quickly so that we can discuss the details of the wedding together!"

"Oh, that's right!" Jianning suddenly realized that marriage is not just a matter for one person, but also requires the active participation of the other half. So she hurriedly pulled Shuangshuang and trotted to the backyard.

After Jianning left, the Wei Mansion's steward took out wedding money to give away the eunuchs and guards who accompanied them.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao was lying on the bed with half of his butt naked, asking Shuang'er to apply ointment for him.

Strangely enough, Wei Xiaobao possesses the five elements of spiritual energy. Even if he is injured, as long as he circulates the wood spiritual energy, the wound will heal quickly.

However, this time the pinch was different. Despite the bruises and swelling, there was no obvious effect after circulating the wood spiritual energy many times. In desperation, he could only try to apply some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicines commonly used by mortals.

"Xiaobao, Xiaobao..." Jianning's voice had already entered the room before she even entered. She was not polite and did not knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked in.

Shuangshuang saw Wei Xiaobao sleeping on the bed with half of his butt exposed, and immediately stretched out his little hands to cover his eyes, muttering: "Shameless!"

Jianning excitedly told Wei Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, the emperor has restored your original official position. Now you are Lord Wei again!"

"Oh, as expected!" Wei Xiaobao said calmly.

"The emperor named Shuangshuang a goddess, gave her the royal surname, and gave her the treatment of an eldest princess." Jianning conveyed Kangxi's will to Wei Xiaobao.

"Oh, this little Xuanzi is quite generous for once." Wei Xiaobao responded.

"Aren't you angry that Shuangshuang changed her surname to the royal one?" Jianning asked with some concern.

"Why should I be angry? It's okay for a child to take the father's or mother's surname. For example, if Ling Zhao has a child, he will be the emperor, so the child will take the mother's surname." Wei Xiaobao answered easily.

When Jianning heard this, she couldn't help but sigh at Wei Xiaobao's open-mindedness. She was originally worried that this matter would cause Wei Xiaobao's dissatisfaction and she would need to spend some time to explain it, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.

Jianning continued, "Brother Emperor has granted us a marriage and wants me to marry you."

"We already have a baby, so it doesn't matter whether he approves the marriage or not." Wei Xiaobao answered nonchalantly.

When Jianning heard this, he suddenly became furious and reached out to twist Wei Xiaobao's ear.

However, when she saw Wei Xiaobao lying on the bed with a pitiful look on his face, she couldn't help but feel pity and finally withdrew her hand.

"The Emperor wants us to get married within three days." Jianning said helplessly.

"What?" Wei Xiaobao was struck by lightning when he heard that. His eyes widened in shock and he didn't even care about the pain in his butt.
