Chapter 135 The Beginning of the Marriage Decree Crowning Ceremony
Xiao Xian’s crowning ceremony was chosen in a manor behind Wuyi Lane and close to the south bank of the Qinhuai River. This was also a piece of land awarded to Xiao Xian by Emperor Chen Xu. Now Xiao Jinyu Xiao Xian ordered people to build a mansion here, which is called Xiao Mansion, adjacent to the Xie family's mansion in Chen County.
Xiao Xian noticed that every time Xiao Jinyu came to the door of the Xie family's house in Wuyi Lane, he would stop for a long time, as if he was harboring something, but he would never ask, for fear of breaking the existing tranquility and tranquility of the years. good.
Since her return to Jiankang, almost everything she did was beyond his expectations and shocked him.
She is really different from other noble girls in Jiankang. She has always been fearless. She can confront Princess Yunyin head-on, plot to kill King Shixing, and even face up to the majesty of the emperor and speak out and give her advice!
So arrogant, arrogant, arrogant and even frivolous!
But when she calms down, she becomes extremely lonely, quiet and gentle.
When facing him, she always had a gentle and calm side, never showing weakness.
"Ayu!"
Seeing her standing in the courtyard early in the morning, Xiao Xian couldn't help but feel pity for her and walked to her side.
After breaking her meditation, Xiao Jinyu also looked back and met Xiao Xian's gaze.
"Show uncle!"
"Are you thinking about your mother?" Xiao Xian asked.
Xiao Jinyu nodded and smiled.
"Yes, I also thought of many people and many things, and suddenly I felt that life is really good. I have a family to return to, relatives to miss, and friends to meet. Life is so precious that I feel comfortable with it. Is it possible to be famous for being able to lead an official for thousands of miles?"
As she said that, she looked at Xiao Xian and said, "Uncle Xian, no matter what happens in the future, Ayu hopes that you will put your family first, your own safety first, and live a good life. Everything else is secondary!"
"That's natural!" Xiao Xian replied, and added, "You too!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Xian's voice was choked and he suddenly asked: "Ayu, have you decided to leave Nanchen?"
She said that she would not leave until he officially became the head of the Xiao family.
But during this crowning ceremony, she wanted to rectify the name of this direct line of the Xiao family. What would happen after the name rectification?
Xiao Jinyu was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xian again.
"Yes!" She replied decisively, "I want to make you, Uncle Xian, the legitimate head of the Xian branch of the Lanling Xiao family during this crowning ceremony..." As she said that, she looked at Xiao Xian and smiled. , "There is something else I need to discuss with Uncle Xian..."
…
Before the crowning ceremony, Xiao Jinyu came to the room where Princess Yunyin was under house arrest. Seeing that the woman who had been crazy and out of control for five days finally calmed down, Xiao Jinyu called out: "Chen Jianchen, after five days of confinement, have you finally calmed down? ? Now that we’ve calmed down, let’s have a good talk!”
"Xiao, Jin, Yu!"
Princess Kumogakure raised her head sharply and saw the girl walking in the sunlight, looking down at her like a god, making her look small, humble and ridiculous.
"No, what did you just call me?"
"Princess Yuhua, Chen Jianchen, is this your real name, right?"
Princess Kumogakure's eyes suddenly showed fear.
"How do you know? No, how do you know, who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, Chen Jianchen. You were engaged to the son of the Wang family back then, but you fell in love with Han Zigao and insisted on marrying Han Zigao as your wife. Why did you later plan on my mother and Han Zigao?"
When mentioning this matter, Princess Yunyin couldn't help but sneer.
"Why? Aren't I fulfilling them? Since we are in love, how about I fulfill them?"
A sarcastic sentence was spat out, and he was filled with regret and fear.
"No, what does this have to do with me? What does it have to do with me?"
"Are you trying to trick me? Are you trying to trick me?"
"Xiao Jinyu, what do you want to do? You have detained me for five days, what do you want to do? Aren't you afraid that the world will criticize you for being unfilial and unfaithful? Aren't you afraid that my imperial brother will punish you with death?"
Xiao Jinyu smiled disdainfully.
"Chen Jianchen, I have told you before that you can cut your hand even if you are not able to use a knife. You never consider how capable you are, but you always want to use the sharpest knife. Now you have cut your hand. , but still so stubborn.”
"Do you think your royal brother will disregard the royal family's reputation for you?"
"If you hadn't done something that disgraced the royal family, why would you have changed your appearance and changed your identity to marry into the Xiao family? Do you really think that you occupy a very important position in the hearts of your two royal brothers? , or is it of immeasurable value?”
"Then you might as well think about it carefully now, how much is your value?"
How much more am I worth?
Princess Yunyin lowered her head. Now the private soldiers in her hands have fled, and the evidence of her collusion with King Shixing is still in the hands of this cheap maid...
"Think about it carefully. If you can atone for the mistakes you have committed, you may be able to accumulate virtue for your son and let him have a good death. Otherwise, King Shiheung will end up..."
Before Xiao Jinyu could finish her words, she called two soldiers to take her out.
She didn't know where Xiao Jinyu would take her, but those words echoed in her mind along the way:
King Shiheung came to the scene...her son...this bitch...was threatening her!
…
The crowning ceremony was scheduled for early noon. Before it officially started, Xiao Yuan suddenly remembered something and called Xiao Jinyu to her room, took out something wrapped in silk and placed it in front of Xiao Jinyu.
"Grandma thought about it and handed this thing over to you. You can decide what to do with it."
Xiao Jinyu opened it and saw that it was a bright yellow imperial edict with a gold scroll, and the seal of Emperor Wen Chen Qian was stamped on it.
"Three colors are the embroidery, and great fortunes are gathering. The right-guard general Han Zigao has made great promises to both the government and the public, and is loyal and upright. The Xiao family, Aluan, comes from a famous family, and is well-behaved and well-behaved... I am hereby decreeing a marriage and a promotion. Xiao's Aluan is the servant. I hope that you two will work together and serve the country with all your respect. Don't disappoint me!"
This is a marriage decree! It turns out that this is the imperial decree that Han Zigao said he was seeking!
I didn’t expect that Emperor Wen still promoted Xiao Luan to the position of attendant in this imperial edict. Did he want her to become an official in the Chen Dynasty?
There were women serving as officials in the Northern Dynasties, but never in the Southern Dynasties.
Xiao Jinyu thought about this and asked again: "Grandma...he gave you this imperial edict? Then why did you..."
"I used to hate him. I always felt that he was the one who brought me Aluan to this point. I thought he was not worthy of my Aluan. But now... none of this matters anymore. My child, no matter who he is or what he is like to others. , but he is your father, this is an unchangeable fact, I can’t let your identity be criticized all the time!”
After Mrs. Xiao Yuan finished speaking, she hugged her and cried softly.
"Thank you grandma."
Xiao Jinyu whispered, and calmed down Xiao Yuan's emotions, then took the imperial edict and asked people to take Princess Yunyin to a manor behind Wuyi Lane, where the crown ceremony was held.
At that time, a lot of people had gathered in the garden, which was full of green bamboos and towering ancient trees. There were aristocratic men in elegant clothes and many people from poor families came to watch the ceremony! This was a bit beyond her expectation!
Looking around, the men of Zhu family, Kong family and Lu Sheng who had ridiculed Xiao Xian were also here.
Seeing her gaze coming towards him, Lu Sheng saluted from a distance, and Zhu and Kong also saluted, but they felt very embarrassed.
At this time, someone called from behind her: "Mrs. Xiao, long time no see, how are you?"
Xiao Jinyu looked up and saw Xu Ling. When Xu Ling met her eyes, he was in a trance for a moment.
"It's really strange. Xu always feels that the little lady is very similar to another person. Although the appearance is different, the spirit is similar..."
What flashed in Xu Ling's mind was Xie Zhen who dared to face the emperor's advice, and he regretted not being able to interact with him, and he didn't know where he was, so he couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Jinyu smiled and raised her hand to salute.
"I am very grateful to Xu Shangshu for coming to watch the ceremony. This is an honor for my Xiao family!"
"Young lady, you are so polite. Speaking of which, when the Lanling Xiao family was in its heyday, everyone from Jiankang had friendships with them. Xu also served as an official in Nanliang and deeply admired the then Crown Prince Zhaoming. The Xiao family Xianlang is also a talented and outstanding person. It is an honor for Xu to be invited to crown him with the name of his teacher!"
When Xiao Jinyu heard the word crown, he raised his eyes in surprise.
Xu Ling then smiled and said: "It seems that the young lady still doesn't know that your uncle invited Xu to crown him during this crowning ceremony!"
Men's crowning ceremony should generally be crowned by the clan elders, but Xiao Xian's biological father has passed away, and that nominal father...
Xiao Jinyu didn't have time to think too much, so she saluted and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu invites me!"
Xu Ling nodded and laughed, walking towards the temple in the garden.
As soon as Xu Ling left, Li Mi's loud laughter came from behind him.
"My dear lady is here to welcome you personally!"
Seeing that the people coming were Li Mi and Cui Heng, Xiao Jinyu couldn't help but smile easily.
"I just happened to have just arrived, so I don't count myself as welcoming you, but since it's you, you deserve to be welcomed in person!"
Li Mi laughed loudly again, exchanged a few words with Cui Heng, and the two of them headed towards the Xiao family temple where the crowning ceremony was held.
Xiao Jinyu was about to walk into the garden when Prince Lanling came over with Lu Yu.
The two looked at each other from a distance and smiled at each other.
When he arrived, King Lanling didn't know what to say for a moment, so Lu Yu said on his behalf: "My dear lady, you are very beautiful today. Do you have anything to say to my prince?"
"Yes, but not now."
"Oh." Lu Yu couldn't restrain his curiosity, "Is there anything I can't finish now?"
Gao Changgong gave him a cold look and stopped him from asking any more questions.
At this time, the Zhou envoys Yuwenhui, Yuwenzhi, Dugushan and Yuwenxun also came over.
"How could Jiankang Xiaolang and Guanli not invite us? I hope the young lady won't blame us for coming uninvited!"
Naturally, Xiao Jinyu didn't say anything. Anyone who came was a guest. She also smiled and asked the envoy to go in and take a seat, while she was still waiting in front of the door.
"Little lady, who are you waiting for?" Lu Yu asked curiously.
Xiao Jinyu nodded, and at this moment, he finally saw Xiao Jian arriving!
