Secrets of Yuqing Palace

Seeing everyone in the family looking so dejected as if the sky was falling, the two sisters Wanlin and Wanyu, who knew what would happen in the future, didn't dare to say anything.

Do they have to say now: Don't worry! The Crown Prince will be deposed anyway, so it's best not to be the Crown Princess.

Or is it that: The Fourth Prince will become the emperor in the future, so if you move into the Fourth Prince's mansion now and give birth to a son, your family will most likely become the maternal family of the next emperor in the future?

But no matter what point you say, it's all talk about confiscating property and exterminating the entire family!

If even a little bit of it leaks out, the entire Guwalja clan will be destroyed!

[Let your family be miserable now.]

【Anyway, the real good days are still to come! 】

So the two sisters looked lost and guilty, but they were happy and relaxed in their hearts.

However, this atmosphere in Guwalja Prefecture did not last long.

On the third day after the election, the imperial edict arrived!

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

I have heard that propriety is the first priority of royal teachings; selecting virtuous and capable men is the great principle of state. My fourth son, Yinzhen, is both virtuous and talented, diligent in government, loving the people, and self-disciplined in upholding propriety.

Wen Shi Wenbing's daughter, Guaerjia Wanlin, came from a prominent family. She was gentle and virtuous, had outstanding talents, and was dignified in appearance and character.

Today, I appoint Lady Guaerjia as the Fourth Prince’s concubine, and hereby grant her the title of Mu.

Wang Guaerjia clan...

Everyone knelt on the ground and listened to the contents of the imperial edict.

It wasn't visible on his face, but his heart was going up and down like a roller coaster.

When we first learned that she would be the concubine of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, everyone was prepared, but they were still happy.

After all, as everyone knows, the Fourth Prince is just a bald prince and originally had no quota for a concubine.

Now that the emperor is willing to promote Wanlin to be his concubine, it is a great honor for the Guwalgiya family.

Especially after hearing that he was given a title.

I was so excited that I couldn't express it in words.

At this time, the gratitude and loyalty of the people in Guwaljia Prefecture to the emperor reached its peak.

Because of such a big event, this was something no one had expected.

Although the position of Crown Princess was lost, when they learned that their own princess could only be a concubine, they felt regretful, but their heartache for their own princess prevailed.

I quickly accepted this established fact.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain in the end.

Everyone knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.

The voice rose with excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Wanlin's usually calm and gentle face was now also curved with eyebrows.

Wanyu also looked at her sister happily.

'That's great!'

The eunuch Wei Zhu, who announced the imperial edict, smiled and handed the imperial edict to the old man Shi Huashan who was standing in front.

Shi Huashan took the imperial edict with both hands respectfully and was about to stand up when Wei Zhu spoke.

"Princess and Prince Consort, please don't move. Everyone, please wait a moment."

"Your servant has an imperial edict that needs to be read."

Everyone showed puzzled expressions, and Wei Zhu smiled and said, "It's a big happy event in the mansion."

"I, the servant, would like to congratulate the princess, her husband, and all the ladies and their wives."

No one was sure what was going on, but Wanlin's heart skipped a beat.

She turned to look at Wanyu, who was both happy and confused, and her heart was filled with guilt.

Soon Wei Zhu opened the second imperial edict.

According to heaven’s destiny, the emperor issued an edict:

Since ancient times, emperors have succeeded the throne and ruled over the land, always choosing a virtuous woman from a distinguished family to be their match for the Crown Prince, to ensure the prosperity of the clan and the nation and to satisfy the hopes of their subjects. I, blessed by Heaven, have given birth to a crown prince, Crown Prince Yinreng, who is intelligent, benevolent, and filial, and has inherited the throne. Now, I hear that Guarjia Wanyu, born into a distinguished family, possesses both virtue and beauty, and possesses exceptional talent and intelligence, making her a perfect match for the Crown Prince.

By the benevolent order of the Empress Dowager, I hereby appoint a woman of the Guaerjia clan as the legitimate wife of Crown Prince Yinreng, to establish a harmonious relationship between the two families and to share the responsibility of the ancestral temple. I hope that you, the Guaerjia clan, will uphold the code of conduct for women, assist the crown prince, manage the imperial court, serve him with filial piety, treat your subjects with respect, and work together to strengthen the nation's prosperity. I decree this.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this imperial edict.

Wanyu looked as if she had been struck by lightning.

Originally in history, her cousin Wanlin should have been the Crown Princess, but unexpectedly, her cousin became the concubine of the Fourth Prince Yinzhen.

As for her, she didn't even know whether Shi Wenzhuo had a daughter in history, and what happened to his daughter.

Who would have thought she would become the Crown Princess?!

This is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world!

This was something she and everyone else had never thought of!

Everyone in Guwaljia Prefecture was also shocked. They had thought that the position of Crown Princess was lost, but they didn't expect that in the end, there would just be a replacement.

And she was their own girl, so it was full of twists and turns, making everyone very nervous.

Wei Zhu looked at the stunned crowd and said with a smile, "Are you all so happy that you've gone crazy?"

"Congratulations to the princess and her husband."

"There is a prince's wife and a prince's concubine in the mansion."

"The Emperor has shown great favor to the Guaerjia Prefecture."

Wei Zhu's voice woke everyone up.

Shi Huashan immediately smiled and said, "It is indeed as Eunuch Wei said."

"Your Majesty's grace is so great that I dare not hope for it."

Everyone knelt down and saluted in the direction of the imperial palace.

Looking at the people who were still a little dazed, it was the old lady Jueluo who reacted the fastest.

She immediately asked the nanny beside her to give Wei Zhu two exquisite little purses.

After Wei Zhu took it, he secretly felt the thickness of his purse.

When I feel the thin piece in my purse, my eyes light up.

【It’s a banknote! 】

Shi Huashan put away the two imperial edicts and handed them to Jueluo, asking her to put them in the ancestral hall for worship.

Then he walked over to Wei Zhu and invited her to stay for dinner and tea.

However, he was rejected by Wei Zhu and had to return to the palace to report.

Shi Huashan took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.

"I wonder if Eunuch Wei knows which other family received the imperial edict today?"

Wei Zhu said with a smile, "At the home of Lord Peng Chun, the First-Class Duke."

"The Emperor has taken a liking to Lord Pengchun's legitimate daughter and has appointed her to be the Third Prince's legitimate wife."

"Oh, and there's also Prince An's Mansion."

Shi Huashan asked doubtfully, "What's the happy event in Prince An's Mansion?"

Wei Zhu whispered, "Gege Guoluo, who was raised by Prince An, was favored by the Emperor and has been betrothed to the Eighth Prince."

"The Emperor means that after the Third Lady and Concubine Mu enter the palace, he will arrange a marriage between Princess Guoluo and the Eighth Prince."

Although Shi Huashan didn't know what was going on between Prince An's granddaughter and the Eighth Prince.

But among the beauties selected this time, the ones announced in the imperial edict today are all about the marriages of princes.

As for the imperial decrees granting marriages to other royal family members, they will be issued tomorrow or even later.

After confirming the news, Shi Huashan politely escorted the person out the door.

When I returned to the main courtyard, I saw that everyone was still in the courtyard with strange expressions on their faces.

Especially Shi Wenzhuo and Fu Cha, both looked at their daughters with worry.

Wanyu also looked confused.

Fu Cha hugged Wanyu's shoulders with a bad look on her face, worried about her daughter's future.

Shi Huashan also sighed slightly.

The family has placed all its resources and hopes on Wanlin.

A lot of financial resources and energy were also spent to cultivate Wanlin.

His expectation for Wanyu was to find her a family that was easy to manage, so that she could immediately take charge of the household after marrying into her husband's family and not have to endure the bullying from her husband's family.

But man proposes, God disposes.

Wanlin became the Fourth Prince's concubine.

Wanyu became the prince's legitimate wife.

He is also full of hesitation now.

It was still the Jueluo family who reacted the fastest.

She scolded with a stern face and quickly made a series of arrangements.

"Who are you doing this for?"

"The Emperor has issued this decree because he values ​​our Guaerjia Mansion and Lin'er and Yu'er."

"Don't show up with such a sad face anymore. If others find out, they'll curse us for being ungrateful!"

"If His Majesty hears this, our entire mansion will be in trouble!"
