Chapter 162 The Queen Mother Grants Marriage
Su Cen packed her luggage overnight and waited to go to Zhaojia Village with Li Shao and his wife.
Although there were only two days left before departure, he still did not leave as he wished.
Just one day before his departure, the empress dowager suddenly sent someone to the Su Mansion to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage, appointing Su Cen to be Jing Xiangyuan's concubine.
Moreover, the wedding date was set very soon, on the tenth day of the first lunar month. It was said that the Imperial Astronomical Observatory had calculated that day to be a "three-in-one" day, and it matched the fate of Prince Jing and his wife. If they got married on that day, the couple would surely live in harmony and love each other for a long time.
She also sent a maid and a female official from the palace to teach Su Cen the court etiquette and the rules of the palace, as well as how to serve the prince, and to guide the Su family in preparing for Su Cen's marriage.
When they received the imperial edict, all the members of the Su family were stunned. It was Lord Su who reacted first and expressed his gratitude loudly.
Su Cen fainted on the spot. Facing the inquiring looks of the eunuch who announced the decree and the female officials, Lord Su could only hurriedly say that Su Cen had not been feeling well these days.
Their whole family was extremely grateful to the Queen Mother for arranging the marriage, and they would certainly teach Su Cen to be polite and chaste in the future, to serve the prince wholeheartedly, to share his worries, and to add luster to the royal family.
After expressing their loyalty, the leading eunuch nodded in satisfaction. That was right. The Queen Mother could decree a marriage for a young man from a fourth-rank official family to be the concubine of Prince Jing. What a great honor! Their family was so lucky!
After receiving the imperial edict, they said all kinds of words to thank the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and stuffed a lot of silver as a thank-you gift to the leading eunuch. They also said that when Su Cen felt better in two days, they would take him to the palace to kowtow to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager to express their gratitude.
After sending away the group of people responsible for announcing the decree, Su Cen also woke up. Now she was leaning against the head of the bed, crying.
Seeing him crying, Mrs. Su felt very sad, but she didn't know how to persuade him.
It was Su Cen's eldest sister-in-law Liu Yuying who advised, "Brother Cen, stop crying. If the maids sent by the Queen Mother hear us and think that our family is dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's will, then our family will be in trouble."
Su Cen's second sister-in-law, Sun Miaoying, also echoed: "Yes, Brother Cen, we all know how bitter you feel, but the Queen Mother has already issued an order, we can't disobey it, otherwise the lives of this family will be in jeopardy..."
"Also, the Sixth Prince is handsome and capable. He is also the Emperor's younger brother and the Queen Mother's favorite youngest son. This is a good marriage that other families would never be able to obtain."
Su Cen ignored them and continued crying silently.
Liu Yuying continued, "Sister-in-law knows that you still think about Xu Junming, but he is dead. You have to look forward. Your bright future is still ahead!"
When Xu Junming was mentioned, Su Cen's emotions fluctuated. "I won't marry him. I won't marry anyone!"
Madam Su couldn't stand it anymore and hugged him into her arms, "My dear Cen'er, my son, I know you are suffering! But if you don't get married, then our family will be disobeying the order, and our whole family will have no way to survive..."
The two sisters-in-law at the side also followed to persuade him. How could Su Cen not understand that he had no choice at all? He couldn't implicate the entire Su family because of his unwillingness.
But he felt really uncomfortable. Why were they forcing him? Why!
“Wuwuwu… Wuwuwu…”
He could only hug Mrs. Su and cry, but after his tears dried up, he still had to accept his fate.
……
After Li Shao and Zhao Ye learned the news, they didn't expect that Jing Xiangyuan would actually directly ask the empress dowager for an order. Zhao Ye was so angry that he scolded him for being shameless and for forcing Su Cen.
But I remember Su Zhengyi said that when Jing Xiangyuan came to marry Su Cen, he wanted to marry her as his principal wife, but the empress dowager issued an order to marry her as a concubine. Presumably, the empress dowager was not very satisfied with Su Cen, but she could not persuade her own son.
After scolding Jing Xiangyuan, Zhao Ye immediately ran to Su Cen's house to see him, while Li Shao stayed at home to accompany the two children.
Zhao Ye didn't come back until the evening, with a very bad expression on his face.
Li Shao asked, "How is he now?"
"It's not nice, but we have no choice but to accept it. After all, it was the Queen Mother who granted the marriage, and she also sent a maid from the palace to teach Brother Cen, so there are some things we can't say."
"My husband, why do you think the Sixth Prince did this? When Brother Cen was chasing him before, he ignored her. Now that Brother Cen doesn't like him anymore, he insists on marrying her."
"Besides, Brother Cen's fiancé died not long ago, and he is very sad. How sad would Brother Cen be if he was asked to marry another man!"
"Doesn't he care at all about what Brother Cen thinks? Does he love Brother Cen or not?"
Zhao Ye really couldn't understand. If Jing Xiangyuan was sincere to Cen Ge'er, he shouldn't have forced him to marry him when he was so sad.
Li Shao sneered after hearing this, "It should be love, but his love is more of a possessive desire and a desire to dominate."
"Compared to whether Su Cen is sad or not, he cares more about not letting Su Cen out of his control. He might be thinking of marrying her home directly. If he gets her, she will naturally win his heart slowly. After all, Su Cen has liked him for many years."
Li Shao's intuition had told him before that Xu Junming's death was related to Jing Xiangyuan. Now it seems that the possibility has reached 80%.
"No way?! Can this be considered love? If you love someone, would you have the heart to see him suffer so much?" Zhao Ye couldn't understand at all.
Li Shao smiled and rubbed his head. "Okay, don't think about it anymore. The Queen Mother has already issued an order to grant the marriage. The marriage between Su Cen and the Sixth Prince is a foregone conclusion. Whether he is willing or not, he has to take care of the entire Su family."
"He definitely can't go with us now, but our plan has been made long ago and everything has been packed. You have to go to bed early today, otherwise you will definitely be exhausted tomorrow morning."
Zhao Ye could only nod and say yes. Su Cen also told him not to worry about him, as he had finally returned to his hometown to see his parents and should be happy.
Although Su Cen said that with a smile, Zhao Ye always felt uncomfortable after seeing it.
But there is no other way. As my husband said, Su Cen has to marry Jing Xiangyuan for the sake of the Su family.
As for Jing Xiangyuan, ever since the empress dowager promised him a marriage, he could not hide his joy at the thought that his brother would soon marry him.
Jing Xiangyuan was born into the royal family and was doted on since childhood. When he grew up, he became the only biological brother of the current emperor.
He is handsome, talented in both literature and martial arts, and has attracted the hearts of countless girls and boys.
It may be that everything has been too easily available to him since he was a child, and in his perception, there is no such thing as loyalty. Having three wives and four concubines and flirting with people on occasion are all normal.
At first, he liked Su Cen, but it was just like, and she was dispensable.
But Su Zhengyi actually told him that his younger sister must marry a man who only wants him, and the Su family also does not allow Su Cen to get close to him.
Jing Xiangyuan scoffed at their ideas and actions, but he would not go after a young man.
But when Su Cen really stopped trying to see him all day and chasing him around calling him Brother Yuan, and instead got engaged to another man and was about to get married, he had to admit that he regretted it.
Now Jing Xiangyuan didn't care about anything else. He only knew that he wanted Su Cen. If she wanted to marry him, then he could only be his.
