Chapter 625 : Who Is The Head Of The Family?
Tai Chi Palace
Editor Lin of the Imperial Academy was called over during the lunch break, and he looked a little listless at this time, but he did not dare to complain too much when he met His Majesty, referring to trying to adjust his own mind as much as possible to make himself look more energetic.
The crime of disrespect before the king is not light.
Forget it... none of the crimes related to the monarch are light.
Before editor Lin walked to the Tai Chi Palace to defend the case, cupped hands bowed and said: "I see Your Majesty, I have seen Princess Yongle."
The Emperor Chu looked at Xueer, with a doting and flattering smile on his face, and said, "Xueer, the compilation of the Imperial Academy has arrived, what kind of decree does Xueer want to draw up?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "For the sake of Xu Qing's hard work and meritorious deeds, let Xu Qing's merits and demerits be equaled, and you are not allowed to restrain yourself."
The officials of the Imperial Academy were only responsible for transcribing the general meaning of the emperor, and did not begin to draft the imperial edict until they returned to the Imperial Academy.
Moreover, several copies of the imperial decree must be sent to the Ministry of Education for review and archiving, and will not be returned to the emperor to be stamped with the national seal until the department at all levels has passed the review.
This prevents the occurrence of false edicts to a certain extent, because the imperial edict is not only stamped with the national seal, but also has archives and backups.
Generally, as long as the bill proposed by the emperor is not an absurd act that shakes the foundation of the country and self-destructs the country, the Ministry of Education will not just dismiss the imperial decree for fun.
The process is still easy.
Compiler Lin took out a small notebook and wrote it down: "My minister obeys the order, and it is all according to His Majesty's order..."
While talking, editor Lin suddenly felt something was wrong.
Was that what the princess said just now?
His Majesty seems to have not spoken yet...
Why did I just say it smoothly, and it was all according to His Majesty's orders?
This is a big disaster...
Thinking of this, a thin layer of sweat suddenly formed on Lin Bianzhuan's forehead, and then carefully raised his head to look at the Emperor Chu. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't seem to notice his gaffe just now.
Chu Huang asked: "Have you recorded it?"
Editor Lin hurriedly said: "Report to His Majesty, I have written it all down."
Emperor Chu nodded and said: "Since you have written it down, let's hurry up and draft the decree."
Editor Lin immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes."
...
Anding Hou Mansion
Su Qian was sitting in front of the bronze mirror, and Xu Qing was standing behind Su Qian, combing Su Qian's hair that had become messy from sleeping.
Xu Qing said: "Mistress, don't move around, otherwise, the bun will be combed crookedly."
Su Qian settled down and said, "Anyway, I don't leave the Nuan Pavilion at home, what are you doing with your hair in a bun?"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "Look for my husband."
Su Qian didn't take it seriously and said, "My husband has seen this face of my concubine's body for two years, can't I get enough of it?"
Xu Qing put Su Qian's braided hair into a hairpin and said, "How can two years be enough? At least add two zeros at the end."
"Two hundred years?" Su Qian snorted, "One hundred years old will be said to be an old goblin. After two hundred years, I'm afraid it has already become a handful of loess."
Xu Qing said: "Then watch it in the next life."
Hearing this, Su Qian couldn't help raising her delicate eyebrows. She beat her legs with her plain hands and played with the ribbon on her clothes: "When I was still living in Yongzhou City, I saw that I was living next to Su Mansion. A very thin old lady, she was very slim before giving birth, but after giving birth, her body became fat, and her husband became more and more distant. Will the concubine also become fat after giving birth? I know if my husband will dislike you at that time..."
Seeing Su Qian's increasingly sensitive mind, Xu Qing couldn't help but smile and said, "Then I can eat more from now on."
Su Qian turned her head and said, "Eat more? Why?"
Xu Qing said: "At that time, my wife and I will naturally become fat together. In this way, neither of us will dislike each other."
Su Qian couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "That's not okay, my husband can't get fat."
Xu Qing asked: "What's wrong?"
Su Qian tossed her hair and said, "I'm afraid I'll be disgusted by that time."
Xu Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "I don't even despise my wife as a husband, but now my wife despises my husband instead?"
Su Qian snorted softly and said, "Husband thought that there were so many arrests in the county government back then, why did I just choose Husband? That means Husband looks good..."
Xu Qing pursed her lips and said, "The lady who is in love with your husband's face at the beginning, right?"
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing in the bronze mirror, showing an expression of seeing through everything: "Why, if my concubine looks like Miss Qiao from the east of the city, would my husband agree to a fake marriage with me?"
When Xu Qing heard the word "Miss Qiao", she quickly shook her head: "That's true."
Just as Xu Qing finished speaking, she suddenly felt that Su Qian's plain hand had already reached Xu Qing's thigh with a backhand before she did not know when, and then exerted a little force: "My husband was really coveting the concubine's beauty at the beginning!"
Enduring the pain, Xu Qing stretched out her hand to hold Su Qian's hand and said, "At the beginning, it was because of sex, but now it's different."
Su Qian's hand was now held by Xu Qing, and she couldn't help but relax: "What's different now?"
Xu Qing supported Su Qian's fragrant shoulder and said, "Now it's time for love."
Su Qian couldn't help lowering her head when she heard this. Although it was the middle of winter, her heart became warmer and warmer.
But then Su Qian suddenly felt something was wrong, her face was hot, and then she glared at Xu Qing in the bronze mirror in embarrassment.
At this moment, Old Wei's gloomy voice suddenly came from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived! Xu Qing, Marquis of Anding County, hurry up and come out to receive the decree."
Su Qian and Xu Qing were a little puzzled, what imperial decree would the emperor write when he was free in the winter?
Xu Qing said: "The lady is pregnant, she should rest in the warm pavilion, and go out to have a look for her husband."
Su Qian shook her head and said, "It's not in line with etiquette. Husband is already a guilty person. How can he break the rules like this?"
Xu Qing said: "Anyway, the crime is false, the lady has a child in her belly, can she salute?"
Su Qian insisted: "Okay, go out quickly, don't let the imperial decree wait in a hurry."
Xu Qing couldn't resist Su Qian's insistence, so she had to support Xu Qing and walked out of the warm pavilion.
Eunuch Wei watched Xu Qing and Su Qian come out of the Nuan Pavilion, and said, "Your Majesty's decree, the Marquis of Anding County will not kneel down to meet you?"
Xiao Ruxue beside Eunuch Wei heard Xiao Ruxue's words and immediately ran to the other side of Su Qian to support Su Qian and said, "No! Sister Su is pregnant, so she can't kneel down!"
Seeing this, Eunuch Wei said awkwardly, "Master, this is the rule."
Xiao Ruxue snorted, "Sister Su can't kneel anyway."
Eunuch Wei turned his head to look at Xu Qing, and said in a tone of discussion, "Marquis of Anding County, why don't you kneel down?"
Xiao Ruxue said: "If Xu Qing wants to support Sister Su, she can't kneel."
"This..." Wei Zhong looked at Su Qian who was standing in the middle, and then at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue who were standing on both sides, holding Su Qian's arms, like patron saints...
Who is the head of the family in the Marquis of Anding's mansion?
