Cheng Jinrong is off for leave today and can stay in Cheng's mansion for one night and get up early tomorrow to enter the palace.

Zhao took Cheng Jinrong to see the house full of gold, silver and jade, and said with a smile: "This is the reward given to you by the emperor and the empress. I didn't move, and I put it here. I gave Zi Su the account book and asked her to keep it for you."

Cheng Jinrong had already learned about this from Zi Su, and smiled and said with a smile: "The eldest aunt is too careful. The account book is collected by the eldest aunt. Am I not at ease?"

Not to mention that Zhao is not such a person, even if Zhao is more greedy, he dare not act rashly. This is a reward from Emperor Xuanhe and Empress Pei.

Zhao smiled deliberately and sighed: "These are all good things in the palace. My aunt dare not stretch out her hand and move around, just keeping the account book. Wouldn't she become more and more envious? She would just keep it for Zi Su, so I don't see it and feel confused."

Cheng Jinrong laughed in silence.

The two of them laughed for a while, and Zhao calmed down and said softly: "Jinrong, the generous rewards from the Emperor and the Empress are all for you to do your dowry in the future."

"I have discussed with your uncle. When you get married in the future, we will prepare a dowry for you, just like Jinyi. The Cheng family's family is not very rich, but it is always our dedication."

"Your mother died early, and her father was not by your side. But you are not alone, we are all your relatives."

Cheng Jinrong felt warm in his heart, and his nose was a little sour: "Thank you, aunt. However, there is no need for a dowry. This room is more than enough to make a dowry. It is decent enough to carry it into the Duke of Pingguo Mansion and will never be shabby. Jin Yi's cousin is not young anymore. The eldest cousin and the second cousin have not yet gotten married, so there are more places to spend money in the future..."

"I have prepared theirs for a long time." Zhao smiled and said, "Don't worry so much."

Cheng Jinrong could not refuse this warm family affection and could not refuse it. He had to accept it with a smile: "thank you, my aunt."

...

That night, Cheng Jinrong slept very sweetly.

The next morning, the carriage in the palace arrived outside the Cheng Mansion. A graceful and beautiful palace maid bowed with a smile: "I met the Imperial Doctor Cheng, and I came to pick up the Imperial Doctor Cheng back to the palace on the order of the Empress."

It was Queen Pei’s confidant Luo Yu.

Cheng Jinrong and Luo Yu were quite familiar with each other, and laughed at him and said, "Okay, I'll leave now."

Cheng Jinrong said goodbye to Zhao and others one by one, and then got on the carriage.

More than half an hour later, Cheng Jinrong stepped into the vermilion palace gate. At this time, Emperor Xuanhe had already started his morning court. Cheng Jinrong followed Luo Yu to the Jiaofang Hall.

Concubine Gu Shu was also in the hall, not knowing what she was saying to Empress Pei, and she looked quite happy.

Cheng Jinrong stayed in the palace for a long time and felt a little fond of this cautious Concubine Gu Shu, who was careful and careful. After saluting, Cheng Jinrong smiled and said, "It's rare to see Concubine Shu so happy. I dared to guess. Could it be related to Princess Kangning?"

Just guess it.

Concubine Gu's eyes were shining, and even the laughter sounded a little more than usual: "Doctor Cheng is indeed kind and has an unparalleled intelligence."

Cheng Jinrong pursed her lips and smiled. What is hard to guess? What can make the low-key Concubine Gu so happy is only Princess Kang Ning's marriage.

After Princess Corning and her hairpin, Concubine Gu was worried about Princess Corning's marriage.

However, Emperor Xuanhe lived in the imperial village for several months, and then he was busy with government affairs, worried about border wars, and had no time to take care of Princess Corning.

It was Empress Pei who made a statement in front of Emperor Xuanhe. When he mentioned this, Emperor Xuanhe remembered that his youngest daughter had not yet been engaged.

"Jinrong, you came just right, so it's okay to tell you." Empress Pei smiled and said, "Cangning is pretty and gentle, and has a gentle temperament. You need to choose a son-in-law for her. It's better to be the second son in the family, and you have to choose a young man with a good character and a handsome appearance. After choosing, the emperor chose the second son of the Marquis of Pingxi."

The second son of the Marquis of Pingxi? Isn’t it Zhu Qijue?

Cheng Jinrong was a little surprised.

Then I thought, isn’t Zhu Qijue just meeting the conditions that Empress Pei just mentioned?

He was born in the Marquis's General's Sect and was very handsome and likable. He was the second son at home and did not need to inherit his son. In the future, he would be able to live with the princess in the princess's Mansion with the princess.

There is no rule that the son-in-law of the Great Chu could not enter the court. Zhu Qijue became the son-in-law of the Tian family and could still serve as a mission to lead the army.

Thinking of this, it would be a good marriage.

"I went to see you off at Duke Ping's Mansion yesterday and also met Mr. Zhu's second son." Cheng Jinrong smiled and said, "However, he didn't mention a single word."

Concubine Gu pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor has just decided to do something, and he will issue an imperial edict to marry today. The second young master Zhu himself did not know anything at all, so he naturally had no way to mention it."

The Tian family is just as domineering as choosing a son-in-law and daughter-in-law! They directly issued an order to give the marriage. They didn’t ask if they were happy with this marriage first…

Of course, the Marquis of Pingxi will never be unhappy.

Emperor Xuanhe only had two daughters, and outsiders didn't know about the scandal that Princess Shouning did. However, everyone saw it because they lost the favor of the emperor.

In this way, Princess Corning, who was unmarried in Yunying, seemed particularly precious.

There is another advantage to marrying Princess Corning. Princess Corning was born by Concubine Gu. Concubine Gu has no son, and Princess Corning does not have a brother of a mother. In this way, there is a lack of taboo.

Which prince is the crown prince is the same for Princess Corning.

Cheng Jinrong smiled and listened intently.

Concubine Gu Shu was also quite satisfied with Zhu Qijue, the future son-in-law.

Zhu Qijue was on duty in front of the imperial court, walking in the palace every day, and Gu Shufei had seen him several times. Zhu Qijue was handsome and had no rebellious spirit, so he looked at him and was pleasing.

Concubine Gu Shu asked in private. Zhu Qijue was also very regular in women. Apart from the two personal maids who served around him, he had never provoked an inappropriate woman. For a young man from the noble marquis's house, he was considered a sanity.

...

At the time of Si, the imperial edict for marriage was sent to the Marquis of Pingxi.

The Pingxi Marquis Mansion only learned about this happy event today, and the whole mansion was very happy. The only pity was that the Pingxi Marquis led troops to reinforce the border and was not in the mansion.

Until he received the imperial edict, Zhu Qijue was still a little dizzy.

The emperor issued an order to marry?

He is going to be the prince consort?

He isn't dreaming!

After hearing the news, the friends who came to congratulate each other jokingly: "What's wrong? Is it too surprising?"

"Not! Look at Zhu Er, I have been smirking for half an hour and haven't come back to my senses yet."

The narrow-minded Zheng Qinghuai stretched out his hand and touched Zhu Qijue's handsome face: "It's really good to be handsome in life. We are all working in the imperial guards, and the emperor has chosen you alone!"
