Chapter 198 Marriage
A moment later, Wang Kun led Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yan into the hall.
When they saw Jiang Yan, everyone was amazed, including Emperor Qi Ming.
But when he saw the two heads on the ground, he still said in a cold voice, "Are you the concubine and concubine of King Chujiang?"
"See the emperor."
Jiang Cheng and Jiang Yan both knelt down and kowtowed to Emperor Qi Ming before saying in a low voice, "Come on, this time the father and king rebelled, and the crime of the Chujiang Palace is unforgivable."
"But the hundreds of people in my Chujiang Palace are innocent, and the people in Jiangzhou are also innocent. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
When he said the last thing, Jiang Cheng knocked his head on the ground directly.
Even though Emperor Qi Ming's eyes were gloomy, when he heard Jiang Cheng's words, the expression in his eyes was a little gentle.
Looking at Jiang Cheng, he said flatly, "You are really different from your father.
Jiang Cheng didn't dare to respond to these words.
"For the sake of your voluntary surrender, I don't need to pursue the crimes of the remaining members of the Chujiang Palace, but from now on, the Chujiang Palace must surrender the military power of the vassal, and all taxes will be increased by 20%. This time, you can have opinions.
"I obey the order, thank you, Your Majesty.
Hearing what Emperor Qi Ming said, Jiang Cheng quickly kowtowed.
Jiangzhou is close to the sea and has a vast territory. It only increases the tax by 20%, which is nothing to Jiangzhou.
As for the military power of the vassals, Jiang Cheng has long since dared not think about it.
At this time, Jiang Cheng saw Jiang Yan at the side, thinking of Jiang Yan's advice to him when he came, Jiang Cheng took the initiative to say, "Your Majesty, there is one thing I would like to ask the Emperor.
"What is it, tell me.
Perhaps because Jiang Cheng is very knowledgeable, Emperor Qi Ming's attitude at the moment is not bad.
Jiang Cheng glanced at Jiang Yan, then turned to Emperor Qi Ming and said, "Your Majesty, my eldest sister has always admired the scenery of Kyoto, so she wants to marry into Kyoto, so I want to ask the emperor to marry you.
Hearing this, Emperor Qi Ming's eyes fell directly on Jiang Yan.
Not knowing what to think, Emperor Qi Ming suddenly glanced at Xiao Junhao.
Feeling Emperor Qi Ming's eyes fall on him, Xiao Junhao's heart skipped a beat.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Emperor Qi Ming's voice, "In that case, I will marry Miss Jiang to King Qing as the concubine."
"Father?"
Emperor Qi Ming's voice was not loud, but it fell into the ears of everyone in the hall. Xiao Junhao's expression changed when he heard Emperor Qi Ming's words.
His eyes were full of resistance and unwillingness.
But Qi Mingdi heard his voice, but looked at him lightly and said, "Why, are you dissatisfied with my will?"
"I dare not."
"My son, thank you, Father."
Xiao Junhao tightly grasped his palm, and after a few seconds of silence, he kowtowed to Emperor Qi Ming with a smile.
Jiang Yan was also stunned by Emperor Qi Ming's arrangement.
She has always been proud of her beauty, and thought that Emperor Qi Ming would bring her into the palace, but she didn't expect the emperor to marry her to King Qing directly.
Jiang Yan subconsciously looked at Xiao Junhao.
When she came, she naturally asked several princes in the court. It seems that this Prince Qing was not liked by Emperor Qi Ming.
But at this moment, she has no choice.
At this time, Emperor Qi Ming looked at Jiang Yan with a smile, "Miss Jiang, I will marry you to King Qing as a concubine, what do you think?"
"My daughter, thank you, Your Majesty."
Hearing what Emperor Qi Ming said, Jiang Yan quickly knelt down to salute.
"Nan Ye, what do you think of this marriage?"
"Brother Huang's arrangement is naturally excellent, just?"
"Just what?"
At this time, Xiao Nanye's eyes fell on Xiao Junhao's body, meeting his eyes, Xiao Nanye smiled faintly, "It's just that I heard that King Qing and General Lin's daughter have a close relationship. Magnetic ring, King Qing doesn't know how to explain to Miss Lin."
"Miss Lin?"
Emperor Qi Ming looked at Xiao Nanye with some doubts in his eyes.
And Xiao Junhao's complexion is no longer ugly that can be described.
Emperor Qi Ming's eyes had already fallen on Xiao Junhao, looking at him, the emperor said directly, "Is what your uncle said true?"
Xiao Junhao is like denying it, but once he denies it today, if he wants to marry Lin Mengyao in the future, it will be deceitful.
Thoughts in his mind kept turning, and after a moment of silence, Xiao Junhao kowtowed to Emperor Qi Ming, "Father, please forgive me, I really like Miss Lin."
"Since that's the case, let her be your side concubine."
After thinking for a while, Emperor Qi Ming continued, "In less than two months, your uncle will marry Miss Jiang's family. If that's the case, let the Ministry of Rites do it together. On that day, your concubine and Miss Jiang will marry The side concubine also entered the mansion together."
Usually, there are very few arrangements for the main concubine and side concubine to enter the mansion together, but since Emperor Qi Ming said so, Xiao Junhao can only obey.
"Thank you, Father."
Jiang Yan on the side remained silent throughout, as if she didn't hear a few people at all.
When Jiang Peihuan was mentioned, Emperor Qi Ming's eyes suddenly fell on Xiao Nanye, "Speaking of which, this time I will take good care of the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Hong."
"Wang Kun, go to the warehouse to pick up some things and send them to the general's mansion."
"yes."
"Brother Huang, there is no need for Director Wang to go there, the younger brother can just send it."
"Also, Director Wang doesn't understand Huan'er's love either, so let me do the job of choosing things."
"Are you going to evacuate my private treasury again?"
"Brother Huang, what you said makes no sense. When did I empty your private treasury?"
"I'm too lazy to tell you."
Hearing Xiao Nanye's words, Emperor Qi Ming glared at him angrily, but he didn't mean to be angry at all.
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, their eyes were full of complexity.
"Wang Kun, go to the Lin family to deliver the decree."
"yes."
Half an hour later, Wang Kun went to the Lin Mansion with the imperial decree.
The door of the Lin Mansion opened, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces, especially Mrs. Lin.
As long as Lin Mengyao marries into Prince Qing's Mansion, she will be a veritable mistress in this mansion from now on, and no one can humiliate her.
"Yao'er, you are really a good daughter for my mother."
Looking at Lin Mengyao who was walking beside her, Mrs. Lin looked at her with a smile on her eyes and said.
For some reason, Lin Mengyao always felt a little uneasy.
But seeing that the person who came to the rice paper was Wang Kun, the chief **** next to Emperor Qi Ming, she felt relieved.
Kneeling down with Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Lin, Lin Mengyao also showed a smile on her face.
"Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, congratulations."
Wang Kun smiled and opened his mouth, and then unfolded the imperial decree.
"The emperor has a decree to bestow Miss Lin's family as a side concubine to King Qing."
"Side, concubine?"
