After the eldest daughter was reborn, the whole family knelt down and begged for forgiveness

"At that time, the late emperor was sick and weak. He had been married to Empress Shuxian for many years, but he had no children, which was already unstable. At that time, the fate of the imperial concubine accidentally leaked out of the palace, and someone actually used this to make a big fuss, and even the news reached the ears of the empress dowager."

"The Queen Mother loves her eldest son... For the sake of the country and the people of Dayin, she absolutely cannot let the concubine remain as the Prince Lin and be forced to resign."

"The Xie family concealed the fate of the imperial concubine at that time. When Prince Lin got married, the horoscope submitted to the Ministry of Rites was also changed. If the matter is investigated, the Xie family will most likely be charged with deceiving the emperor..."

Before Su finished speaking, Xiao Xuetang understood everything.

The truth that has troubled her for many years turned out to be like this!

My aunt has been neglected these years, not because of Queen Wang’s scheme, but because of the Queen Mother!!!

Xiao Xuetang has always been alert, and at this moment, she keenly noticed the fate mentioned by Su...

Today, when Ruyi came to the Marquis' Mansion and mentioned the Queen Mother's arrangement for marriage, she also mentioned the matter of Master Leyuan's fortune-telling. Was it a coincidence, or did someone do it on purpose?

"Let's not talk about these old things. The most important thing now is your business."

Just when Xiao Xuetang was lost in thought, Su suddenly spoke.

Xiao Xuetang asked with some confusion: "Me? What's the matter..."

Seeing Xiao Xuetang's confused expression, Xie couldn't help but sigh and said, "Of course it's your marriage to the prince!"

"Lin Shaoshu is getting married soon, you must not fall behind!"

The Xie family didn't know what was going on, but they didn't seem to like Lin Shaoshu very much. Moreover, Lin Shaoshu and Xiao Xuetang broke off their engagement, and the Xie family had been holding back on this anger. When Su thought of this, her damn desire to win came up.

"Also, when will the palace come to set the date? Should the prince choose the date himself, or should we follow the etiquette of the palace? In my opinion, it's time to embroider your wedding dress, and your mother has already prepared your dowry, but it still needs to be organized. It's time to take care of it."

In total, Xiao Xuetang was married twice in her two lives, but in the first life, she was a princess married for foreign purposes. In the second life, because her reputation was ruined, she was simply brought into the prince's palace through the side door in a sedan chair.

Now that Su mentioned these etiquettes, Xiao Xuetang was completely dizzy and said, "Probably... we should follow the palace rules. As for the wedding dress, the palace weaving house should send it."

"The things in the palace are always perfunctory. Who knows whether the ones delivered are good or bad? We need to prepare more."

Su came from a large family. She had once handled the etiquette for Concubine Xie to enter the palace, and was not familiar with royal weddings.

Back then, it was because the Queen Mother was not very satisfied with Xie Wanyue...

The reason for their dissatisfaction was not because Xie Wanyue's status was too low, but because Xie Wanyue's status was too high, so they deliberately gave Xie Wanyue a blow at the wedding ceremony. The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace servants were all trying to climb up the social ladder and look down on the low, so naturally they would not take it seriously, which led to a lot of jokes at the wedding.

Whenever she thought of this, Su would see the kind-hearted and distressed empress dowager and curse in her heart: Old hag!

Having learned from Xie Wanyue's lesson, the Su family does not want to suffer another loss in Xiao Xuetang's marriage.

Su said: "Otherwise, if you delay any further, and you still don't marry the prince within these 100 days, you will have to observe mourning for three years..."

As the situation in Kyoto is unpredictable now, even though Su is a woman, she is very far-sighted.

She was worried that if it was delayed any further, something unexpected would happen in even three months, let alone three years.

Xiao Xuetang was so annoyed by Su's nagging that she couldn't think about Concubine Xie for a moment, so she could only say, "Then I'll go ask Lin Xun."

Su was so angry at her naive words that she laughed. She couldn't help but pat her and said, "How can a girl ask this question herself..."

She pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I will go to Shuiyunju in person to visit the old princess."

Lin Xun's parents have both passed away. Apart from the emperor, the only elders in his family now are the old princess.

And Su has his own little thoughts...

That is, when the old princess was young, she was a very influential figure. Even the late emperor and the current emperor had been protected by her. Even the empress dowager had to temporarily avoid the old princess when she faced her.

This time, the old princess will personally arrange the marriage of Lin Xun and Xiao Xuetang, so there is no need to worry about the queen mother making trouble behind the scenes.

Xiao Xuetang knew that his aunt was the daughter of a general and was always decisive in her actions, but he did not expect her to be so efficient.

Su mentioned the marriage the night before, and went to Shuiyunju to visit the next day.

Su and the old princess had a very pleasant meeting and decided not to follow the palace rules.

Even though Emperor Yonghui had authorized the marriage, in order to show their importance to the marriage, the royal palace followed the rules of aristocratic families and went through the three letters and six ceremonies and married the girl in a formal ceremony.

Lin Xun had been in the army for many years and didn't quite understand these rules, but when he heard the words "married in a formal ceremony", the coldness in his eyes softened a little, and he handed everything over to the old princess, and also left Tianshu to run errands.

Because of this marriage, the relationship between the old princess and Lin Xun, the grandfather and grandson, has eased a little. Looking at Nanny Song, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This Miss Xiao is really a lucky star.

Xiao Xuetang's dowry consisted of gold, silver and jade articles prepared by Xie before her death, and Concubine Xie also left Xiao Xuetang a considerable amount of assets. In addition, the Xie family's dowry out of their love for Xiao Xuetang turned out to be a cart of ancient books and antique collections.

There is no need to talk about the old princess.

As early as after meeting Xiao Xuetang in the Huguo Temple, she began to prepare the betrothal gifts for Lin Xun. At that time, Nanny Song thought that the old princess was too impatient.

Now, because Xiao Xuetang was in mourning, she only had two or three months at most, which was not enough time. So after the two families had discussed it, on the third day, the old princess personally brought Lin Xun to the Xie family to propose marriage.

According to the old princess, even if the imperial edict was there and the two children's marriages were settled, none of the necessary steps could be missed.

It rained last night and the weather was sunny the next day. It was a good season.

Even though it was just a proposal of marriage, the people sitting in the carriage in front were the old princess who had lived in seclusion in Shuiyunju for many years, and Princess Mingjing.

There were few royal descendants in this dynasty. Princess Mingjing was actually the cousin of Emperor Yonghui. Because her father, Prince Song, had made great contributions to the country, she was named the eldest princess.

She had a garden outside Kyoto and seldom asked about Kyoto's affairs, but she was close to the old princess and often had tea with her.

No, when she heard that Lin Xun was going to get engaged, she beat up her rebellious son first.

His rebellious son is the unfortunate Qi Yusheng, who has been busy squatting at the mass grave day and night these days. He finally went back to rest and take a bath, but was beaten by his mother.

Then he followed the old princess to the Xie family to propose marriage...

She wanted to see what kind of fairy this girl from the Xiao family was that could make the regent who was not interested in women fall in love with her.

You know, rumors about this marriage spread all over Kyoto, and even the Wang family was related to her prince consort.

Madam Wang, the arrogant Da Qi, even came to see her in person for the purpose of the regent's marriage...

Thinking of this, a subtle look flashed across Princess Mingjing's eyes!
