Chapter 1043 Long Family
Master Wang, Master Dou, and Master Li all stood up to support the emperor.
These people were all related to Prince Anjun and spoke to the Chu family. With their support, the emperor dismissed the ministers who opposed him with just a few words.
An hour later, the emperor sent someone to deliver a large cart of gold, silver and jewels to Prince Anjun's Mansion. Part of it was given to his fiancée Chu Cong, and part of it was given to Xia Zihan and Zhuo.
Xia Zihan stared at a set of rare crystal jewelry noodle with stars in his eyes, "As expected of the emperor, he is generous in his dealings. If this set of noodle is sold in Cuiyu Pavilion, it will definitely fetch five thousand taels of silver."< br>
"That is a gift from the emperor. If you sell it privately, you will be despising the imperial power and committing the serious crime of beheading." Chu Jingqi said angrily from the side.
The gaze he stabbed at the crystal head was almost as cold as ice knives. With such a posture, he really wanted to step forward and smash this set of jewelry.
Xia Zihan glanced at him and quickly called Chu Qing, "Lock this jewelry into the warehouse."
She was afraid that if she didn't give the jewelry away, Aqi would swallow it.
As soon as Chu Qing walked out with the jewelry box, Xia Zihan teased him, "You are already the father of my child. Why are you so jealous? If you don't like it, I won't wear it in the future."
"I'll give you a better set tomorrow." Chu Jingqi said.
"It's better to wait until the mourning period is over." She couldn't wear it if she gave it now.
She was in mourning, with only a simple hairpin in her hair, and a plain white dress. Even her shoes were simple emerald green, with a small camellia embroidered on them, without any inlays. jewelry.
"The third child wrote a letter saying that my aunt and uncle will be coming in a few days, and they will also bring their son. He said that he heard that my mother had adopted an adopted daughter and came here to take a look." Xia Zihan said.
The third child got a sister, so Fei Ge happily sent a message to Shui Fu Rong and Long Yi. After Shui Fu Rong heard about it, she started clamoring to come to the capital. Long Yi had no choice but to bring her here.
No, the third child just received the message from Shui Furong's flying pigeon. He will set off in the next few days and will arrive in about half a month.
"Yeah, I get it." Chu Jingqi still felt a bit gentle toward her aunt, who looked exactly like her mother.
However, Chu Jingqi's face became a little colder when he thought of Long Yi.
"I heard about something. There is a martial arts family in the Jianghu whose surname is Long. The first three generations of heirs are all the leaders of the martial arts alliance. In this generation... the leader of the Dragon Alliance is getting older. He has issued an edict to the entire martial arts community. In September , a martial arts conference will be held in Jiangning to re-elect the martial arts leader.”
He also heard that the next generation heir of the Long family disappeared twenty years ago, but reappeared some time ago.
This is also the main reason why Leader Dragon wants to re-elect the leader.
The Long family also wants to keep the position of leader of the martial arts alliance and pass it on from generation to generation. In the past, when the heir of the Long family disappeared, the leader of the dragon family never mentioned the matter of re-electing the leader. People in the world respected the leader of the martial arts alliance very much, so they did not Will take the initiative to mention this matter.
Now that the heir to the Long family is back, the re-election of the leader of the martial arts alliance is imminent.
"What do you mean, Aqi, you don't want to tell me that my uncle is the heir of that dragon leader, right?" Xia Zihan looked dumbfounded.
"This is just speculation."
After all, Long Yi never mentioned his family. Even if he did, he would only say that all his family members were dead. Xia Zihan sighed in shock, "Auntie thought he had no family and thought he was an orphan."
"That's their business." Chu Jingqi said with an indifferent expression, "I'm just telling you that my aunt and uncle are only going to Jiangning to participate in the martial arts conference this time."
Once Long Yi becomes the leader of the martial arts alliance, then... the Chu family will have to be careful when dealing with them again.
The Chu family is in charge of nearly half of Dasheng Kingdom's military strength, which is already very eye-catching. If there is another uncle who is the leader of the martial arts alliance, wouldn't it be obvious that the emperor will be wary of him.
"Auntie doesn't like to take care of these things?" Xia Zihan frowned, otherwise, she would not have given the No. 1 building in the world to Lao San so easily.
"I don't know. On that day, I will know what my uncle has in mind."
Chu Jingqi didn't like Xia Zihan frowning for others, so he changed the subject, "The emperor told me that he hopes the marriage can be arranged as soon as possible."
"As early as possible, we have to wait at least three months. Besides, there is still a funeral in our house." Xia Zihan felt a headache when he thought of Mrs. Chu's coffin that would be buried in two days.
Some time ago, because of the incident involving the witch, everyone was uneasy and frightened. The number of people who came to pay homage to Mrs. Chu was suddenly empty.
But as soon as the news about Chu Cang spread, many people came to visit today.
No, she was busy taking a rest for a while because the emperor gave her something and she had to come and get it.
"You must be tired today. I told you before that I asked you not to take care of it, but you insist on taking care of it. Leave those things to your mother and the hall sister-in-law." Seeing her rubbing her temples, Chu Jingqi took off her hand in distress. , he stretched out two fingers and rubbed her gently.
Xia Zihan rolled her eyes at him, "It doesn't hurt to stand and talk. You are the grandson of the old lady's first wife who doesn't like her. She abused you when you were a child. You can disrespect her, but no one dares." I’m talking about you, but I’m different. There’s no formal feud between me and the old lady. I’m her granddaughter-in-law and a junior. It’s fine if you don’t show up, but if I don’t show up, I won’t be called a scumbag.”
"Let them say what others say." Chu Jingqi disagreed, but Xia Zihan did not agree. "Although I am not afraid of what others say, I don't want to be pointed at my nose and scolded for being unfilial."
"Okay, okay, I'll give you my permission."
Seeing that she had given so many reasons, he couldn't help but follow her.
"In two days, the funeral of the old lady has been completed. You can start preparing for the marriage between the emperor and Chu Cong." Chu Jingqi said again, "Don't be busy alone. Chu Cong is marrying the emperor, and her marriage must be planned." It’s a grand event and there are a lot of things to do. When the time comes, you and your mother will discuss the preparations together.”
"I understand. Did the emperor say when the date will be?" Xia Zihan asked.
There has just been a funeral and a happy event in this house, hey...
Fortunately, the emperor is marrying Chu Cong. Otherwise, there is a mourning in the palace, how can we easily hold a happy event?
"It's decided, August 12th." Chu Jingqi curled her lips, "The emperor said that August 15th is a reunion day. He wants to marry his daughter-in-law and have a reunion dinner with the whole family."
"Ah, there is still more than a month, can you make preparations?" The little family is getting married. Now that she is marrying the emperor, the dowry prepared before is definitely not enough. She has to add more, and it cannot be less. It takes time to prepare. One month is not enough. "< br>
