Beloved at the Door

Chapter 9

After the Ninth Prince had left, the sixth sister Shangguanxin, who had been worrying about watching this scene, walked out hurriedly and climbed on Shangguanyan’s arm.

“Fifth Sister, it seems that His Highness Nine is imperative, what can we do?”

Seeing Liumei worried, Shangguan Yan didn’t worry at all. She patted her hands. “Don’t worry, someone will help me fix him.”

“Who is it?”

Facing Liumei’s curious gaze, Shangguan Yan remembered what Di Jing had said, and settled in her heart. Since she chooses to believe in Di Jing, let’s just watch the changes.

“Fifth Sister, what do you think?”

Shangguan Yan came back to his senses, staring at Liu Sister’s face that looked seventy like hers, and thinking of the stubbornness of the Ninth Prince, she couldn’t help feeling grateful, and touched Liu Sister’s face lovingly.

“Fortunately, you are about to marry, otherwise someone is thinking about it.” If the Ninth Prince didn’t marry her, he might use the Sixth Sister to fill the bill. Fortunately, her lovely Sixth Sister has already been accepted.

Shangguanxin looked ashamed. “Fifth Sister, what are you talking about, who is worried?”

“Of course it is your fiance. Let’s go, don’t let my mother know what happened just now, lest she worry.” She took Liumei’s hand and walked into the house.

Shangguan Yan lived in the mansion with good food and sleep, and left the affairs of the Nine Princes aside, and the situation in Chaozhong had surging from the dark tide to the surface.

The emperor carefully tracked down the accounts of the Ministry of Households, and the lack of money was not enough. This big case took more than a month, and in a blink of an eye it was beginning to fall.

In the imperial garden, the emperor who was in his prime and the young and promising courtiers were playing leisurely.

This scene seemed to rise to peace in the world, making people unable to see that the emperor had just gone through a **** baptism in the previous court. The emperor had cut off a lot of corrupt officials, imprisoned and demoted officials, just like the chess they played at this moment.

The layout and position of the chess game must be carefully arranged. A wrong step will threaten his situation.

The emperor looked at Di Jing. Over the years, he, a young and promising courtier, had strategized for him, did not form parties, did not collude with forces, and looked at him as the head of his horse. He was one of his most trusted courtiers.

“Di Aiqing.”

“The minister is here.”

“For me to investigate the case, and offend the officials, Aiqing has worked hard, what kind of reward do you want?”

Di Jing replied indifferently. “It is the minister’s responsibility to share the worries and alleviate labor for the emperor, and the minister is not suffering.”

If the emperor had not heard of it, he continued to ask: “Want to get promoted? Or get rich?”

“Official position and wealth are like clouds to the minister.”

The emperor sighed. It was not a day or two to get along with this guy. He knew Di Jing’s temperament and couldn’t help but laugh. This Di Jing is also really calm. Recently An Concubine blows the pillow breeze in his ear whenever she has a chance, complaining to him that Shangguan Yan is a vixen, fascinated by his son Laojiu, and Laojiu stubbornly wants to marry him. As a concubine, he asked him to help clean up the woman.

Huangshangzhen couldn’t be quiet because of the noise every day. Looking back at this Di Jing, he remained silent, but used actions to defend her.

He doesn’t want an official position or wealth. Doesn’t he just turn a corner and ask for someone?

“I know what you are, don’t be hypocritical, just say it.”

Di Jing is not long-winded. “In that case, please ask the emperor to marry his ministers.”

The emperor was waiting, and saw that he had proposed it, but the emperor was also very calm and deliberately embarrassed.

“Di Aiqing is forcing me to be a villain and help you grab a wife!” The emperor shook his head. “I heard that there is a childhood sweetheart from the Shangguan family. The two families want to get married. Although there is no hire, they have a verbal agreement. Besides, my old nine also likes her. If she doesn’t marry, she comes to me. Complete him! It makes me feel difficult.”

The emperor said so much, what is difficult here and there is difficult, it is obvious that he deliberately stunned his appetite, Di Jing always looked calm and settled down calmly.

“If the emperor is willing to open the golden mouth, the minister will clean up the mess.”

The emperor teased with interest. “I heard that the Shangguan girl is feasible. She is quick to arrest and knows how to do business. Even my old nine has nothing to do with her. It seems difficult to deal with.”

“Someone has to clean her up, and the minister is willing to take this responsibility.”

The emperor smiled pretentiously. As Di Jing said, it was the Shangguan girl who was looking for him. The emperor was very satisfied with the courtiers who had done a great job but still did not seek official positions. He wanted such a loyal and non-greedy person.

It’s just a marriage gift, what can’t you give?

“I agree to what you ask.”

“Xie Emperor.”

In a chess game, Di Jing successfully calculated someone, and he finally let her belong to him in an upright manner. With the emperor as a matchmaker, who would dare to have an opinion?

The next morning, the emperor announced in the court that Di Jing, a meritorious minister, was promoted to the second rank, and he was the governor of Zhenzhou. He gave a brocade robe and a mantle and betrothed to him, the fifth lady of the Shangguan family.

The news of the marriage was passed to Shangguan’s family that day, and she was shocked to know what to do. Even the four daughters who got married immediately rushed back to her family’s family to care about the marriage of the fifth sister.

Master Shangguan and his wife were still thinking about how to deal with their daughter’s marriage. First they did not dare to offend the Ninth Prince, and secondly they did not dare to marry their daughter to Pan’s family. They were bothered, why the daughter was suddenly promised to Master Di. And is it a marriage bestowed by the emperor?

The next morning, the **** Lu Gonggong came to Shangguan’s house with the emperor’s marriage decree. After yesterday’s shock, the Shangguan’s family still had to bathe and cleanse, prepare the incense case, and knelt down in the front yard to wait for the decree.

Shangguan Yan was also surprised for a long time. Although she knew what she knew, she never expected that Di Jing would actually ask the emperor to give a marriage decree.

After receiving the imperial decree, Shangguan’s family, from the elder, the wife to the children and the daughter-in-law, all gathered around Shangguan Yan to ask about the ins and outs of the matter.

Shangguan Yan had to talk about the matter in general, and then Master Shangguan realized that this Master Di had intended to marry his daughter long ago, and could not help but stroke his beard thoughtfully.

“I can’t think of it…”

Mrs. Shangguan was still in shock and couldn’t get her back, so she could only cling to her husband’s arms.

“Master, what kind of person is that Master Di?” Mrs. Shangguan is more concerned about the future son-in-law’s background, whether he gets along well, and his character? This daughter was suddenly betrothed to another man, how could she not teach her the worries of being a mother!

Master Shangguan pondered: “According to Yan’er’s narrative, Master Di is a man who knows how to do things and who knows how to judge the situation and plan well.”

Mrs. Shangguan was in a hurry. “Good character is important, sir, you quickly send someone to inquire!”

“The character is very good, mother, don’t worry.” Shangguan Yan replied smoothly, causing everyone to stare at her.

The eldest sister refused to comply, and took the fifth sister to question. “Say, do you like him very much, too?”

The second sister was also curious. “Do you like him? When did it happen?”

The third sister couldn’t wait to ask, “So you guys have been interested in each other a long time ago? You have hidden it for so long!”

Other people are also trying to extract confessions from you every word, and they have to figure out when their fifth sister is tempted by a man?

It has always been Shangguan Yan who forced a confession from others. However, she was suddenly questioned by her family today, leaving her thick-skinned, and this time she couldn’t help but blush.

“No no, I was surprised too.”

“If you didn’t, you would blush? You have never blushed to Big Brother Pan.”

Everyone ridiculed each sentence from the left to the right. Originally they were worried that she would be sad, but she had never thought that she would have fallen in love with them.

Sixth sister Shangguanxin smiled and said, “Father, is this a mantis catching cicadas with the oriole behind? This mantis is naturally the nine princes. Of course, the oriole is Lord Di. As for Big Brother Pan, alas, even one side. If you don’t get it, you will be out.”

“What nonsense! Don’t talk about royal affairs, be careful to spread it out!” The Shangguan’s wife murmured, but she also opened her mouth with a smile.

The eldest wife joked, “Isn’t that the wild goose the cicada that was calculated?”

The second brother also came up to have fun. “Five sisters have been prosperous since they were young, and they will be memorable if they are not married until now.”

“Okay, you guys tease me, I don’t follow it.” Shangguan Yan said that he was about to scratch everyone’s itch. Everyone laughed and dodged everywhere.

Shangguanxin hid behind her mother, stuck out her tongue, and continued to joke. “I heard that the future five sister-in-law is a handsome husband, and he is still a governor, so majestic! The fifth sister is going to be an official wife!

Shangguan Yan glared at Liumei, but her face was pretty red, adding to the beauty of the woman, and leaking the idea of ​​not opposing this marriage, she couldn’t hide it.

The gift of marriage… I didn’t expect that she would marry him in the end. At that time, she was talking about marriage with Di Jing. She didn’t think it would happen. Now it suddenly came true, she felt magical, how can I say? This heart seems to have become at ease.

Next, Master Shangguan hurriedly took the whole mansion to prepare the sacrifice, informed the ancestors of the matter, and put the imperial decree on the table as a respect.

The next day, Di Jing, who was already the governor, ordered someone to send a post saying that he was going to visit the future father-in-law in person.

Although Shangguan’s house was an imperial merchant, it was still a home for people without officials and no rank. When he heard the governor came, the master Shangguan hurriedly ordered his servant to open the door and led his two sons to prepare to welcome Master Di’s presence.
