Xia He was horrified. "How can Madam accept this? Does Madam have to be there to announce the imperial decree?"
"Oh, it shouldn't be about the master taking a concubine. I think Aunt Qiu was so angry that she left..."
Qiuxiang stamped her feet and said, "It's hard to explain this in a few words. Madam, please go over there quickly! The eunuch has been waiting for a long time."
"Okay, then I'll go call Madam." Xia He naturally knew the importance of the imperial edict. Even if Madam was sad now, she had to go and receive the edict.
......
After waiting for about an incense stick's time, Xu finally arrived at the gate of the marquis' mansion with two maids.
Shen Nanxing raised his eyes and saw his mother wearing an apricot-colored flowing dress, a set of jeweled head ornaments, and a peony-shaped golden hairpin in her hair. She had a dignified, generous and decent smile on her face, and her whole person was radiant.
At first glance, she has the temperament of the mistress of a prominent family.
Shen Nanxing breathed a sigh of relief and greeted her with a smile: "Mother, you are here."
God knows how worried she was that her mother had lost her mind in order to compete with Aunt Qiu and put on such vulgar clothes. Now it seems that her mother is still rational.
Today's outfit is great.
Shen Yuan looked absent-minded, but when he saw Xu, his eyes lit up slightly.
Xu hasn't dressed up for a long time.
Ever since he married Qiu'er, Xu has been depressed all day long. Every time she sees him, her face is full of sadness. She always talks to him about how loving they were in the past, or questions him why he didn't keep his promise. If he couldn't do it, why did he promise her in the first place... It's really annoying to hear that.
Recently, he'd gone too far, even deliberately imitating Qiu'er's dress. Qiu'er's inherent charm, which had captivated him, was something a boring, old-fashioned woman like her could easily imitate. It was nothing more than a clumsy imitation of a beautiful woman, and it was laughable.
But the way she looked today made him feel a little bit strange.
So, for the first time ever, he said in a gentle tone, "Madam, you are here."
Xu ignored him, only smiled and nodded to Shen Nanxing, then bowed to Eunuch Gui: "It's been many years since we last met. Hello, Eunuch Gui."
Although she had been married into the Marquis's Mansion for many years and was busy with the affairs of the inner court all day long, she still knew Eunuch Gui, the eunuch who was trusted by His Majesty.
Before I got married and was still in the Duke's Mansion, because my father and three brothers often made meritorious contributions, His Majesty often sent Eunuch Gui to issue imperial decrees and give various rewards.
Compared with many years ago, Eunuch Gui has not changed much except that he looks more mature.
I just don’t know what this imperial edict today is about?
She originally thought that her husband had gone to the palace to ask for an imperial decree in order to make that woman his equal wife.
Later, I thought, my husband is just a seventh-rank official, responsible for the security outside the capital, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to attend the court. How could he possibly come to His Majesty for such a small matter?
If he really wanted this imperial decree, he would have to go and speak to His Majesty in person. However, he did not approve of his husband taking a concubine, let alone a concubine. Therefore, he would never speak to His Majesty about such a matter.
Furthermore, Qiuxiang had already told her on the way here that Eunuch Gui had said it was a happy event, and that it had caused a misunderstanding. The woman, believing the imperial edict was for her, dressed up and came, only to discover that her husband had made a mistake and left in anger...
Eunuch Gui only said, "Please invite the lady," but my husband took it upon himself to invite that woman, completely disgracing the Marquisate in front of Eunuch Gui.
There was irony in Xu's eyes. The ceremony of becoming a co-wife hadn't even been completed yet! In the husband's heart, his wife was already that woman. Where did he put her? What was she?
So since she came here, she deliberately didn't even look at the man.
When Eunuch Gui saw someone coming, he returned the greeting with a smile: "Madam Xu, there is no need to be so polite. Prepare to receive the order!"
