A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Emperor Xuande looked at Song Zan with his eyes wide open.

He was the emperor, and it was not a glorious thing for him to be mercilessly lectured by his subjects because of women.

Even as a minister giving advice, shouldn't you know when to stop and give the emperor some dignity?

He is not a tyrant who is blinded by lust. Does Song Zan have to speak so harshly?

Song Zan still stood upright with an upright look on his face. If you didn't know, you would think that the censor was going to die in the Golden Palace.

"Your Majesty spoils me, and this is known to everyone in the court. But as a subject, it is my duty to advise Your Majesty."

"If you let Your Majesty fall into injustice for some shameful purpose, what is the difference between this and being a traitor?"

Chen Zheng, who was standing at the door, was shocked. Was Marquis Zhongyi's words directed at him?

Treacherous?

He shared the worries of His Majesty and served the country loyally, so how could he be associated with such treacherous people?

When Emperor Xuande heard Song Zan say this, his expression relaxed a little. But he still spoke with a cold tone, "I don't want to do anything, you think too much."

Song Zan stepped aside and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty is wise. Prince Ning is waiting for Your Majesty to preside over the wedding. Your Majesty, please."

Emperor Xuande glared at him and walked out.

Although Emperor Xuande emphasized that he had no intention of doing anything, everyone present knew that if Marquis Zhongyi had not come today, things would have been very difficult to say.

When everyone accompanied the emperor to the front hall, the wedding procession had already entered the palace.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites were arranging the subsequent ceremony. Emperor Xuande was invited to sit in the main seat, and then Lin Wanyin sat in the side seat.

Although this didn't count as sitting with the emperor, Lin Wanyin still felt a little nervous.

She felt uneasy, but Su Chengye, who was standing not far away, was indignant and jealous.

When his son got married, not only was he not allowed to receive his son's kneeling homage, he didn't even have a seat.

However, Lin Wanyin was able to sit like the emperor and was being looked at with envy by the guests.

In such a situation, the difference between the two is obvious. Su Chengye felt indescribable in his heart and sighed again, saying that if he had known this day would come, he would never divorce her.

Several officials from the Ministry of Rites were handling the next ceremony, and Shen Zhixiu stood outside the crowd watching.

Song Zan walked up to him and asked, "Why are you here?"

There is a custom of sending off the bride in the capital, but there are no elders to send off the bride. Most of the brides are brothers of the same generation or younger nephews and nephews.

Shen Zhixiu said, "The younger generation in the family are all in mourning, so it's not easy for them to come and see the bride off. I couldn't bear to see Shen Yue get married alone, so I came to take a look."

Anyway, the Shen family didn't have a banquet today, so there was no need for him to stay in the mansion to entertain the guests.

Song Zan thought about it, pulled Shen Zhixiu aside, and talked about what had just happened in Biluoju.

Shen Zhixiu's face, which had been calm at first, turned a little gloomy.

"What are they trying to do? Relying on a woman to whisper in the emperor's ear? They even found someone who looks like the late queen. They really put a lot of thought into it."

Song Zan sneered and said, "I have already found out that the person is the seventh young lady of the Jingyuan Marquis's Mansion."

"From what I've seen of Miss Seven, some of her expressions and movements are very similar to those of the late queen. I'm afraid someone has been training her for a long time. This is not as simple as just sending a beautiful woman to you."

Shen Zhixiu said in a deep voice: "They are anxious, but a substitute can only be a substitute. Does the Jiang family want to replace the Song family?"

At this point, Shen Zhixiu smiled again and said, "The unmarried children in your family should be more cautious. I guess that if they want to win over the Song family in the end, they will have to think about marriage."

After all, nothing is simpler and easier than a marriage. Even if the Song family doesn't want to get involved in these matters, it will be seen by outsiders as taking sides.

When the emperor grew old and became increasingly suspicious, the Song family could no longer stay out of the matter.

He is not exaggerating, but looking at history, there are traces of this.

Not far away, Su Shunci and Song Wanwan were talking together. Shen Zhixiu and Song Zan's eyes fell on Song Wanwan.

Song Zan said in a deep voice: "The daughter of my Song family will never become a tool for the royal family to fight for power."

He and his wife have been looking for a good match for their daughter, but they just haven't found anyone they like. Their daughter is good no matter how you look at her, so no one seems to be worthy of her.

It seems I have to talk to my wife about this when I get home. Although this matter cannot be rushed, we have to act quickly.

After talking to Song Zan for a while, the ceremony in the hall began. Shen Zhixiu came closer again, wanting to see his niece get married in person.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shen Zhizheng happened to stand next to Chen Ge Lao.

He said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "My teacher taught me that a gentleman should be open and honest in government. He should be worthy of the king and even more worthy of himself."

In Shen Zhixiu's opinion, these methods are not unusable, but it depends on who uses them. As the chief minister of the cabinet, personally sending someone to the emperor's bed is ultimately contrary to the way of sages that he has learned for many years.

He didn't want to blame, but since they were teacher and student, he couldn't help but express his disagreement.

This was one of the few awkward moments for Shen Zhixiu since he entered the court.

Chen Zheng felt a little bitter, but he couldn't show it.

He just smiled faintly, "Master has also taught you that the political situation changes rapidly, and sometimes you don't have to be so particular about the details."

Shen Zhixiu saw Su Yuanzhou and Shen Yue getting married, and the Minister of Rites shouted, "The ceremony is over."

A smile also appeared on his face, and then he said to Chen Zheng, "I have learned a lesson."

Shen Zhixiu knew clearly how much irony there was in this sentence, and Chen Zheng could also hear it.

To others, the two of them chatted and laughed, acting like colleagues as well as teachers and students, which was truly a wonderful story.

But they both knew it very well, and the relationship between teacher and student was completely broken.

There was no grand banquet held at Prince Ning's Mansion today. Only a vegetarian banquet was set up, without even any alcohol or drinks. This was also a sign of respect for Prince Ning's wife and the Shen family.

When Emperor Xuande left, he did not mention the seventh daughter of the Jiang family. However, Shen Zhixiu and Song Zan knew that this girl would definitely enter the palace.

As to whether this pillow talk will affect the political situation and to what extent, we can only wait and see.

Not long after Emperor Xuande left, the banquet ended.

At the second gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, Su Shunci was saying goodbye to Song Wanwan.

"Ah Ci, didn't you say you were going to accompany your sister-in-law? Go quickly, I'll be back soon. Remember to come back in two days, grandma is still missing you."

Su Shunci smiled and said, "My sister-in-law just got married. I will accompany her for a few days and then go to visit my grandmother."

After seeing Song Wanwan off, Su Shunci hurried back to the inner courtyard and went to the bridal chamber.

After Shen Yue got married, she drank the wedding wine with Su Yuanzhou, and Su Yuanzhou also lifted the veil. Of course, Shen Yue was in mourning, so the wedding wine was replaced with water.

At this time, Shen Yue had changed into loose home clothes and was sitting by the bed waiting.

Su Shunci asked as soon as she entered the room, "Sister-in-law, are you hungry? My brother is still seeing off the guests and will be back soon."
