Although His Majesty granted the Xiao family an edict, and bestowed a mansion and fertile land in Beijing, but Yan's father is not here, Xiao Mingjin is not able to manage his daughter's marriage by himself, and it is extraordinary to marry into the royal family.So she and her daughter still live in Xiao's house, and the marriage is also planned by Fan and Xiao Mingjin together, so as not to make any mistakes.

Knowing that the sixth concubine will marry from his uncle's family in the future, the officials of the Manchu Dynasty once again looked at Xiao Tingen with deep envy, why all the good things happened to him.

This seems to be half of her mother's family, and the sixth prince will not get close to Xiao's family in the future.

Sure enough, after the next dynasty, the six princes took the initiative to find Xiao Tingen. Xiao Tingen was only a middle-level official in the court in the past, and had little contact with the princes, let alone Si Tuzhou, a prince with a very important family and a high status, who subconsciously respected the respect and saluted.

Si Tuzhou helped her up, and said with a gentle attitude, "You don't need to be polite, Minister Xiao, you are Miss Yan's uncle, and you are also my prince's uncle, so you don't need to be so polite."

This sentence alone is enough for Xiao Tingen to understand the importance that the sixth prince attaches to his niece.As an uncle and elder, he is naturally gratified and happy.But more because of his status as a courtier, he felt flattered and pleased with the benefits brought about by the sixth prince's closeness to the Xiao family.

Si Tuzhou said with sincerity, "I'm ashamed to say that after my father ordered the marriage, I haven't formally met the elders of the Xiao family. Do you mind if I pay a visit in a few days?"

Xiao Tingen hesitated a little, but still nodded in response, "Your Highness can come, naturally it is full of splendor.

Naturally, there was not much to say in front of the palace outside the palace, so Si Tuzhou asked him if he had any questions about the preparations for the marriage, and he set a date for the visit, and bid farewell to Shi Lang Xiao.

Seeing that the Sixth Prince was friendly to Minister Xiao, the other officials also stepped forward to get close and friendly.

On the day when Si Tuzhou visited the Xiao family,

Although unmarried couples are not suitable to meet each other, the rules are not that important to the royal family, and Si Tuzhou went there in the name of meeting the elders of the future wife's family, and others can't criticize them.

It was the first time Xiao Mingjin met his future son-in-law,

In terms of appearance and demeanor, compared all the candidates who had met before. Not only did they have an extraordinary demeanor, but they also had no trace of arrogance. They were gentle and refreshing.I heard from sister-in-law, Fan Shi, that the Sixth Prince refused to serve people arranged by Concubine Shu in the early years, and there were no side concubines and concubines around him, so he could be called Qingliu.

Even Xiao Mingjin didn't expect that his daughter would be so lucky, probably because of the blessings accumulated in her previous life.

I don't know if it was the blessings accumulated in the previous life, but Si Tuzhou and Yan Zhao knew each other in the previous life, but they didn't really meet each other until they were in this world.

He had another chance to marry her back and keep her by his side.

Even Si Tuzhou himself felt like he was in a dream.

Whether it is persuading the father and emperor to directly order a marriage, or paving the way for the mother and concubine, Si Tuzhou is sure of these.But in Yan Zhao's place, he is concerned about gains and losses, and he is worried about whether she will go back and change her mind, or whether she will have pre-marital phobias and the like, and can't stand the tedious royal etiquette rules.

After all, if you care about it, you will be confused.

It was not surprising that Si Tuzhou wanted to see his fiancée, and the Xiao family arranged for it in a blue pavilion in the garden.

Fan came over with Yan Zhao, and saw Situ Zhou standing in front of the pavilion from a distance, tall and tall, dressed in light blue brocade clothes, once again hit Yan Zhao's aesthetic point, and couldn't help but bend over looking at him.Lip corners.

Fan's heart was stunned, the niece didn't know how to salute, but she saw the sixth prince coming over on her own initiative, with a smile on her jade face, she didn't care at all, she wouldn't say anything to disturb the interest, she didn't smile muchDisturb and leave, leaving space for them to get along.

There are also maids and mothers nearby, so they are not afraid of getting a bad reputation.

After entering the gazebo and sitting down on the stone bench, Yan Zhao smiled and said, "I thought it would take four or five months to see you."

Seeing her crooked eyebrows and smiling like a flower, Si Tuzhou felt his heart melt, and subconsciously blurted out, "I'm afraid that after April or May, you will forget me."

Yan Zhao's cheeks were slightly flushed, and he always felt that after the relationship was improved, Si Tuzhou's words seemed to be sticky with unresolved affection.

Si Tuzhou said with some distress, "Did you feel hard these days?"

Yan Zhao touched his face, and said thoughtfully, "It's okay, I think I'm getting fat."

Whether it is the grandmother, aunt and mother, they all pity her for her hard work in learning royal etiquette and rules, and she eats various nourishing soups and tonics a few times a day, saying that it is to help her recuperate her body.She doesn't know if her body is good or not, but her face has indeed become rounder, as if she has a double chin.

Si Tuzhou also took a closer look at her little face, Bai Nen was able to pinch water, and then nodded, "It's not skinny."

Yan Zhao frowned, "Do you think I'm fat?"

And she said confidently in her heart that she is only sixteen, and it is time to grow her body.

In front of Yan Zhao, Si Tuzhou seemed to automatically lower his IQ by three points, "It's good to be fat, and it looks good when you are fat."

After talking a lot of unnutritious and sticky words, the two chatted about some serious topics.

Yan Zhao asked about her father's promotion, and she also knew that it was a family benefit given to her by becoming a concubine. She was also worried that her father's promotion was too fast, "My father is capable, but he doesn't know much about flexibility, and he is not good at management. official relations."

The officialdom is complicated and deep, the higher the position, the better the position, and the more accidents are likely to occur. It would be bad if you were accidentally tricked into some kind of trap.

Si Tuzhou smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I have sent two staff members to your father's side to help. I don't want to say meritorious service, but I guarantee that there will be no mistakes."

In the past, it was difficult to do anything, but now he and Yan Zhao are both legitimate and unmarried couples, and it is only natural to help a group of future father-in-laws.

After hearing this, Yan Zhao finally felt relieved.

No matter how reluctantly Si Tuzhou stayed in Xiao's house for too long, after all, they were just a fiancée, and it was rumored that they would have a bad reputation for Yan Zhao.

After Situ Zhou went to the Xiao Mansion, Emperor Jianming pointed out many important errands for him. Situ Zhou understood what this meant, obediently took all of them, and took care of the errands conscientiously and responsibly.

Seeing that the sixth child is not really addicted to love and only cares about his children, Emperor Jianming also nodded slightly.

When others saw it, they felt that the sixth prince was valued by His Majesty. He was about to get married, and he was given a heavy responsibility to the sixth prince. Even the other princes were a little jealous.

On Yan Zhao's side, he was still learning the etiquette and rules of various royal occasions, while privately listening to Fan's teaching on communication and entertainment, housekeeping experience, and even private affairs in the back house.

Mrs. Xiao is getting old and lacks energy, and Yan Zhao's mother, Xiao Mingjin, has learned it once, and almost forgot it after so many years. So this can only be taught by Fan.

If Yan Zhao married into an ordinary family, she would naturally not need such tricks, but she married into a royal family.

As the saying goes, the highest is the sun and the moon, the closest relatives and the most distant husband and wife, and the thoughts of the royal family are changeable. Even if the sixth prince looks good now and personally asks for a marriage and treats her as a treasure, there is no guarantee that he will persevere in the future, just like now good.

Yan Zhao also thought that the worst case would be to return to friendship. Since Si Tuzhou's palace is so big, he wouldn't mind raising her as an idler.She still has this trust in Si Tuzhou.

Fan also asked Yan Zhao to pick a group of stewards and servants in the mansion.

Although Yan Zhao felt that he didn't need too many people to serve him, Fan insisted, "There must be some people who will marry you to the prince's mansion and serve you in the future. You will be the sixth prince's concubine in the future. How can there be only a few people around you?" .

And the servants in the prince's mansion are usually sent out from the palace, so they may not be able to listen to Yan Zhao, the new prince and concubine, and it is good to have someone around him to order them around.

Fan did not forget to remind his niece, "They married you to the prince's mansion, you can use them, but don't trust them too much, lest you become a slave and bully the master. Your name is domineering, and your reputation is ruined, even if you deal with it, you can't be merciful."

And those people even put the deed of sale in the dowry.

Fan's plan is sincerely for the niece, after all, the niece will live well as the prince and concubine, and the Xiao family will follow suit.

While Si Tuzhou was busy, he did not forget to ask someone to send the Shaofu Supervisor's map of the Prince's Mansion, and said in the letter that if you like or dislike it, you can use the Prince's Mansion to practice first.After going to the fiefdom in the future, I will build the palace according to my own wishes.

In the blink of an eye, it's the wedding day.

Today's Sixth Prince's Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the salutes are loud, giving it a sense of prosperity and elegance.

There was a lot of traffic in front of the door, and Chang Shi's concierge was busy receiving and arranging guests and presenting congratulatory gifts in an endless stream. All the officials are looking at the direction of the wind. From the contribution of the sixth prince to rescue him in the hunting ground incident and the various graces given by the sixth prince to marry His Majesty the concubine this time, it is enough for them to congratulate the concubine.

Not long after, Emperor Jianming and Concubine Shu came to the scene in person, which made many high-ranking officials even more grateful for this.

Regardless of whether they supported Concubine Shu's faction or not, Emperor Jianming showed an attitude of attaching great importance to the Sixth Prince. If they just followed the ceremony and didn't show up, wouldn't His Majesty think that they didn't give the Sixth Prince face, and thus become displeased with them.

After all, Concubine Shu has been in power in the harem for many years. With her personal intervention, the scale of the wedding of the six princes is also extremely grand, not weaker than any other prince.

Yan Zhao was pulled up early in the morning before dawn, dressed up and changed into a red and delicate wedding dress.

When the time came, he bid farewell to his mother and grandmother, and got into the bridal sedan chair to welcome the relatives.After that, everything went according to the royal etiquette procedures. After worshiping Emperor Jianming and Concubine Shu, they were formally saluted before being sent to the new house.

This is not over yet, the new house is also very lively, several princes, concubines and princesses, clan women and wives are all here.

When the hijab was slowly lifted, Yan Zhao saw Si Tuzhou in a red auspicious attire at first sight, with black hair and a jade crown, eyebrows growing into the temples, with a kind of charm that is rarely seen in ordinary times.Just in response to that sentence, Moshang is like a jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world.

Yan Zhao's appearance was also reflected in his clear eyes.

With the lifting of the hijab, the girl's phoenix crown and tassels are slightly lifted, and the necklace is adorned on it, and the garnet red pearls and jades add to the beauty.

Yan Zhao hadn't looked at herself in the mirror carefully yet, her appearance was already outstanding, and with the addition of the pearl, golden jade, phoenix crown and Xiapei, it was naturally even more amazing.

"Sixth brother, this is dumbfounded." Princess Yongning on the side joked.

The wives and female relatives present thought to themselves, with such extraordinary beauty, it is no wonder that the sixth prince would personally ask His Majesty for a marriage.

Si Tuzhou came back to his senses, and smiled at Yan Zhao, making everyone envious of this scene of concubine love.

In the end, Si Tuzhou had to go to the front to entertain his brothers and guests. Everyone left the wedding room after saying some auspicious words, but Yongning stayed behind.

Yongning smiled sweetly, "I'm going to call you Sister-in-law Six from now on."

"Sixth Brother asked me to stay here with you." Yongning blinked, "Sixth Brother said, after he moves out of the palace, his Changyang Palace will belong to me in the future, and I can leave the palace to come to the Sixth Prince's Mansion at any time.Will Sixth Sister-in-law dislike my interruption?"

Yan Zhao said with a smile, "Naturally welcome."
