Chapter 14 Dissolution of Engagement
Mu Fengyan and Mrs. Han also walked to the front hall.
The only people who listened to the imperial edict were the old lady who was sick in bed, the eldest wife, the second wife, Mu Fengyan, Mu Shuxue, the eldest young master was studying abroad, and the second young master was in a private school. The other aunts and concubines were not qualified to come out to listen to the imperial edict.
When the princes and princes beside the emperor saw Prime Minister Mu approaching, they quickly stepped forward and complimented him,
"Oh, Prime Minister Mu, our family is here to congratulate and congratulate Prime Minister Mu. We are so happy."
"Your Majesty, I'm tired. May I ask where this joy comes from?"
"Your Majesty the Prime Minister will know in a moment. Are you all here, Your Majesty the Prime Minister? Our family is going to read out the imperial edict?"
Prime Minister Mu looked at the eldest lady Han and her eldest daughter who were standing just now, as well as the second lady and second daughter.
Then he turned to the prince and said, "My husband is here, my mother is sick and can't get out of bed, and everyone else is here."
"Okay, then everyone should kneel down and accept the order."
After Eunuch Wang finished speaking, Mu Fengyan saw everyone kneeling down one after another.
Mu Fengyan used the cover of her skirt to squat on the ground, and then she heard a drake voice that made her extremely uncomfortable.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that the eldest daughter of the Mu family passed away due to illness, and the engagement with the third prince was terminated."
After listening to her father-in-law, Mu Fengyan remembered that the original owner was still engaged to the so-called third prince. Fortunately, it was canceled. It seemed that they didn't know the news of her return. I wonder if her father-in-law would see her later.
What kind of reaction?
Then Eunuch Wang said, "Don't worry, everyone, I will read out the second imperial edict now."
Mu Fengyan's legs were numb from squatting, and she cursed in her heart, why is this emperor so troublesome? Can't he just write a few sentences in an imperial edict? It can also save some money for the palace.
Another drake voice sounded, and Mu Fengyan even frowned in discomfort.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict that Mu Shuxue, the second daughter of Prime Minister Mu in the Mu Mansion, is virtuous, virtuous, gentle and generous, has both political integrity and talent, outstanding appearance, gentle and honest, and she and the third prince are truly a match made in heaven, so Mu
The second daughter of the palace, Mu Shuxue, is betrothed to the third prince as a concubine, and the wedding will be completed when she is born. I appreciate this!"
Mu Fengyan listened to the content of the imperial edict and directly wanted to ask the emperor, are you blind? There is such a black-hearted second lady, and she still boasts like a flower.
Besides, why was her decree to break off the engagement so simple, only two sentences long, but why was her decree to end the engagement so long? Mu Fengyan expressed her dissatisfaction.
Next to her, the second lady and Mu Shuxue kowtowed excitedly, especially since Mu Shuxue would be the third prince's concubine in the future. I don't know how many official ladies envied her.
Prime Minister Mu was also very happy. Their Mu family still had an engagement with the third prince, and their Mu family were still relatives of the emperor. Prime Minister Mu was so excited that he burst into tears and kept kowtowing to express his gratitude.
Mu Fengyan looked at all this and curled her lips. Was she the only one who noticed it? Didn't anyone else notice it?
The imperial edict said that the third prince would be betrothed as a concubine, but it didn't say whether it would be a principal concubine or a side concubine?
Aren't the royal concubines the same as the concubines of officials? And the prince can marry two concubines.
Mu Fengyan looked at the excited people again. She really didn't know how excited they were, and they didn't know there was a trap inside.
"Congratulations to Prime Minister Mu, hurry up and receive the imperial edict. Our family has to go back to serve the emperor."
Prime Minister Mu quickly got up from the ground, took the imperial edict, and winked at his old servant, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang quickly took out a banknote from his sleeve and handed it to Eunuch Wang.
When the prince saw the denomination of the banknote, he was overjoyed. The rumors were true. Sure enough, Prime Minister Mu was a generous man and spent generously. Didn't the Queen just take a fancy to the Prime Minister's rich family background?
Mu Fengyan looked at all this with mockery in her eyes, and walked forward unhurriedly,
"Father, let me preserve my decree."
Mu Fengyan didn't care about Prime Minister Mu's expression, she directly reached out and took out her own decree of breaking off the engagement from Prime Minister Mu's hand.
Eunuch Wang didn't know Mu Fengyan, let alone Mu Shuxue. He only thought that the little girl in front of him was Mu Shuxue.
He quickly complimented and said,
"The second young lady is indeed different. Her temperament is a perfect match for the third prince. Our family is here to congratulate the second young lady."
The people next to me were a little embarrassed, but they didn’t know how to explain it. Before Prime Minister Mu could speak,
Mu Fengyan looked at Eunuch Wang with a half-smile and said,
"Eunuch Wang, you have recognized the wrong person. I am the eldest daughter of the Mu family, Mu Fengyan."
"Our family knows that you are the second youngest daughter of the Mu family...what? You said you are the eldest daughter?"
Wang Eunuch's eyes widened in disbelief. Because of the sudden loud noise, his voice became sharper, which made Mu Fengyan feel uncomfortable again.
"You said you are the eldest daughter of the Mu family? Wasn't the eldest daughter of the Mu family buried yesterday?" Wang Gonggong looked at Mu Fengyan with horrified eyes, stepped back, and asked Prime Minister Mu,
"Prime Minister Mu, what is going on? We can go back and report to the emperor."
Prime Minister Mu wiped the sweat from his forehead. He knew that this matter was a bit unbelievable, but he had to report it truthfully, otherwise he would not be able to bear the emperor's punishment for bullying him.
Prime Minister Mu sorted out the words in his mind and said,
"My father-in-law, it's true that my daughter was buried yesterday, but for some reason she came back to life. I only learned about it this morning. I hope my father-in-law can say a few kind words in front of the emperor."
After hearing this, the prince was even more horrified. For some reason? Resurrection from the dead? Could it be any more bizarre?
Prime Minister Mu winked at his old servant, Uncle Wang, who quickly took out another banknote and handed it into the hand of the prince.
Eunuch Wang collected the banknotes, looked at Prime Minister Mu, and then at Mu Fengyan, who looked at Eunuch Wang with a smile in his eyes.
The prince's father-in-law felt his heart tremble when he saw it.
The prince didn't stay any longer and hurriedly took the banknote and left.
He was almost running away at that speed. First of all, the thing was too weird. He had never seen anything in the palace for so many years, but this was the first time he met the shogunate lady. He was also very scared. He didn't know what he had just done.
The eldest lady of the shogunate he saw was either a human or a ghost. The look in Miss Mu Da's eyes really frightened him.
