Regent, the princess you found is a treasure
Chapter 77 Xuan Moyin empties the palace and pays the betrothal gift
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zhang fell ill.
On the day when Shangshu Zhang was beheaded at Caishikou, Prime Minister Su did not go to avoid suspicion. Su Qingrou also did not go because she was pregnant and it was unlucky to see blood.
Zhang was accompanied by her son Su Xiaoyu to collect the body of her father, Shangshu Zhang.
Su Xiaoyu had been studying at the Bailu Academy in Lucheng, more than 100 miles away from the capital. On the day the incident happened in the Shangshu Mansion, Prime Minister Su sent someone to deliver a letter overnight. After receiving the letter from his father, Su Xiaoyu rushed back to the capital at full speed.
At the age of fourteen, he was already taller than his father. He supported Zhang, who had fainted several times from crying, and watched his grandfather being beheaded on the execution platform. He secretly swore in his heart that he must avenge his grandfather's family.
Because the Shangshu Mansion was raided, Shangshu Zhang, as a criminal, could not have a grand funeral, so he could only be hastily buried in a remote and quiet place.
After taking care of Minister Zhang's funeral, Zhang fell ill. She did not allow Su Qingrou to come and see her, fearing that she would get sick from her.
Therefore, when Xuan Moyin's imperial decree granting marriage was delivered to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was Prime Minister Su who received it.
When Zhang heard about the marriage between the Regent and Su Luoxue, she was so angry that she spilled the medicine. It was the Regent who caused her family, the Shangshu Mansion, her father to be beheaded, and her grandmother, mother, and brother to be exiled. She hated it, hated it, but who was the Regent? She couldn't do anything.
Now the Regent is going to marry that bitch Su Luoxue. Doesn’t that mean Su Luoxue will be Rouer’s elder from now on?
Over the years, she had done everything she could to make her daughter stand out, to make the prince break off his engagement with Su Luoxue, and to make her daughter the crown princess. Now Su Luoxue was actually going to marry the regent? She disagreed. This was not allowed.
When Su Qingrou heard the news, she was also in disbelief. Although she knew that Su Luoxue was with the Regent, she didn't expect that the Regent would marry Su Luoxue as the Regent's Consort! That woman had lost her innocence! And the Crown Prince didn't want her!
Three days later, Xuan Moyin personally brought the betrothal gifts from the Regent's Palace to the Prime Minister's Mansion. While people arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Regent's Palace was still moving the betrothal gifts out.
Citizens from all over the capital came out to watch the excitement. It seemed that the Crown Prince did not give so much as a betrothal gift to the future Crown Princess a few days ago! The people were all talking about how ordinary people had never seen such a scene. They were so lucky as they had seen it twice this month.
Meanwhile, many noble ladies in the capital were secretly worried at home because their secret crush, the Prince Regent, had gone to propose to someone else. Although they knew that Xuan Moyin would never even look at them, Xuan Moyin was the only one who did not belong to any woman. As long as they could secretly take a peek at him from afar, they would be satisfied. However, now the Prince Regent had actually proposed to Su Luoxue, how could they not be sad.
At this moment, Su Luoxue was in the Bamboo Garden, watching Xuan Moyin directing the servants of the palace to move boxes of things into the bamboo garden. When the bamboo garden could no longer hold them, they were placed on the open space outside the bamboo garden. She didn't know yet that she had become the love rival of many noble ladies in the capital.
"Xuan Moyin, are you going to empty out the Regent's Palace?" Su Luoxue looked at the betrothal boxes scattered all over the floor.
"Yes, even I am yours, the entire Regent's Palace is yours, then my money is all your money, of course I give it all to you." Xuan Moyin said.
Su Luoxue said that they could get engaged first, but the wedding would be completed when she was 18 years old, and her body had not grown up yet! She couldn't accept getting married so early. Xuan Moyin knew that in her era, 18 years old was considered an adult, and although he was already 26, he still listened to her and could only endure it.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the high officials of the court came to congratulate Prime Minister Su. Many people praised Prime Minister Su for raising two good daughters, one of whom was about to marry the Crown Prince as the Crown Princess, and the other was going to become the Regent Princess.
Anyone who can make it in the officialdom of the capital city is usually a person who curries favor with the powerful and changes his attitude according to the situation.
Ever since Xuan Moyin reported Shangshu Zhang, which led to his execution, his residence being raided, and his entire family being exiled, those corrupt officials have been terrified these past few days, fearing that they might accidentally offend this King of Hell and not know when they will die.
Since they couldn't get close to Xuan Moyin, they took a roundabout way to save the country. As soon as they knew that the Regent came to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage today, they rushed to curry favor with him and flatter Prime Minister Su, hoping to get close to Xuan Moyin through him.
Prime Minister Su was able to sit on the prime minister's throne, and he hadn't been in officialdom for so many years in vain. How could he not know what these people were thinking?
But he felt bitter! Zhang Shangshu Mansion was his in-laws' family, did Xuan Moyin give him face? He just took it away! Now his wife Zhang was still lying in bed? And, did his eldest daughter Su Luoxue take him, her father, seriously? She always made him angry to death?
But he couldn't tell any of this to outsiders, and had to greet every official who came to congratulate him with a smile.
There are twenty or thirty tables set up in the Prime Minister's Mansion today. The Crown Prince, Prince Ning, and Prince Zhao are all here.
The prince's face was gloomy the whole time. The woman he didn't want was about to marry his uncle and become his aunt.
When he heard the news, he got very angry in the Prince's Mansion. He ran to the palace to see his father and asked him to revoke the imperial decree of marriage. However, his father said that the imperial decree of marriage was not written by him, but was left to his uncle by his grandfather, the late emperor, and there was nothing his father could do.
He didn't want to come today, but his second and third brothers all came, and he didn't have the strength to fall out with his uncle yet, so he had no choice but to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion with a gloomy face.
Ning Wang Xuan Haochen was just the opposite. He was always smiling and responded with a smile to anyone who greeted him.
Xuan Haotian rolled his eyes at him: "The emperor's uncle is getting married, are you so happy?"
"Isn't the prince happy?" Xuan Haochen asked back.
Su Luoxue was his mother's lifesaver. Since Su Luoxue performed surgery on her mother that day, she has never been ill again. He specially invited Doctor He to examine his mother, and Doctor He asserted that the imperial concubine's body has recovered as before.
He once privately revealed to his mother that the miracle doctor was the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and that the miracle doctor's agreement to treat his mother was also facilitated by the emperor's uncle. His mother told him to get closer to the emperor's uncle and the miracle doctor in the future.
Therefore, when he learned that the emperor's uncle and the miracle doctor were together, he expressed his sincere blessings.
However, the third prince Xuan Haode sat aside, expressionless, watching everything in front of him indifferently, as if he was just attending the banquet. In fact, he knew clearly that because of Su Luoxue, the prince and the emperor's uncle had already had a rift, which was very good. When both of them were defeated, it would be the time for him to take action. In terms of current strength, he was not a match for any of them, so he had to be patient for the time being and not move his troops.
