Chapter 65: The Imperial Decree of Marriage, the Prime Minister's God-given Stick

Yaoguang Hall.

In the garden, hundreds of flowers are in full bloom, competing for beauty.

Concubine Ning and Concubine Shu walked side by side with light steps, as if two fairies descended to the mortal world.

Concubine Ning was wearing a lavender palace dress, with picturesque features and an elegant temperament.

Concubine Shu was wearing a light green long dress, looking charming and attractive, with her eyes moving around, revealing her mature charm.

The two of them strolled along the winding bluestone path.

Sometimes they stop to watch, sometimes they whisper.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. You are in for a treat."

The personal maid, Zhishu, trotted over and said coquettishly.

Her pretty face was covered with blush and joy.

Concubine Ning smiled slightly, but before she could speak, Concubine Shu interrupted her.

"Zhishu, tell me, what good fortune does your wife have?"

Zhishuying bowed with a clear and pleasant voice.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Emperor has bestowed upon you the Moonlight Dates, which have been delivered to the palace."

"I heard from the eunuch who delivered the Yuehua dates that the production of Yuehua dates is limited this year, so all the tribute of Yuehua dates has been delivered."

"Humph—Concubine Min only received a Heart Lantern Fruit as a reward, and she comes to show off in front of the Empress."

"If I knew about the reward from the Queen today, I would be so angry that my face would turn green."

I heard that Emperor Yuanchu gave all the tribute Yuehua dates this year to Concubine Ning.

Shu Fei couldn't help showing an expression of surprise and congratulations on her mature and charming face.

"Congratulations sister."

"Your Majesty's love for me is truly enviable to me."

"I can't finish all the Yuehua dates His Majesty gave me. Please take some back with you, sister."

Concubine Shu pretended to refuse, but a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

"How can this be so embarrassing?"

Concubine Ning smiled sweetly, "You're welcome, sister. By the way, why did His Majesty suddenly gift so many Moonlight Dates?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that it was His Majesty the Ninth Prince who made great contributions in the Plum Garden case."

That's it!

No wonder your majesty’s reward is so generous.

Who in the government and the country is not keeping an eye on the Meiyuan case?

Heng'er actually made great contributions in the Meiyuan case.

Concubine Ning raised her eyebrows slightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth could not be suppressed.

It is like a blooming peony, graceful and elegant.

"Congratulations, sister, you have given birth to a wonderful son."

"If you are jealous, I will let Heng'er recognize you as his godmother." Concubine Ning smiled even more, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.

"Sister, your prince is grown up now, I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Concubine Shu quickly waved her hands, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

When Concubine Ning heard this, she nodded slightly.

It's indeed not appropriate.

Heng'er is already the eldest son, and it is inevitable that he will be in trouble if he recognizes Shufei as his stepmother.

After all, she is my godmother. If this gets out, I wonder what kind of distortion it will become.

"Sister, let's go try the Yuehua dates first."

"Oh, Zhishu, go tell Concubine Min and ask her to come to Yaoguang Palace to eat Yuehua dates."

"I understand, my lady!"

Zhishu looked as if he was gloating over someone else's misfortune.

The Queen was not going to inform Concubine Min at all, she was clearly stabbing Concubine Min in the heart.

……

The God-Punishing Division, the Heavenly Prison.

Shang Hongye looked hurried and walked very fast. In an instant, he passed through the dark corridor and came to the cell where the father and son of the Liu family were imprisoned.

The Liu family's father and sons hung their heads and looked like they were asleep.

Seeing this, Shang Hongye had a bad feeling in his heart.

He quickly opened the cell and checked on the Liu family's father and son.

died!

There were no wounds on his body.

But his soul and spirit were destroyed, and he was deader than dead.

It’s still a step too late!
Shang Hongye's face looked terribly ugly.

His expression was stern, and there was a murderous air between his brows.

It's like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, its edge fully exposed.

Zhou Jueyin is a truly formidable opponent, good at scheming and always one step ahead of himself.

The prison warden of the God Punishment Department saw that the three members of the Liu family had died suddenly and inexplicably, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

His legs felt weak and he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Master Qianhu, this... this... I don't know anything!"

Seeing the prison warden's expression, Shang Hongye glanced at him coldly, his eyes like a knife, as if to pierce him.
Even if I know a little clue, it would be great!

do not know anything.

How do you become a prison warden?

Shang Hongye took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and gave cold orders to his Zhushen Guards.

"Notify the commander and conduct a thorough investigation of the God-Slaying Division."

"Sir, do you mean that there is also Zhou Jueyin's accomplice in the God-Slaying Division?" the God-Slaying Guard asked cautiously.

"Hmph—the prison of the God Execution Division isn't a market. You can't just come and go as you please."

"It's hard to say whether there is an insider or not!"

"But, how did Zhou Jueyin kill the Liu family, father and son? We must get to the bottom of it!"

Seeing the most important witness being silenced by Zhou Jue, Shang Hongye's mood sank to the bottom.

……

Wangfu.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, for another remarkable feat, thwarting the evil divine conspiracy."

"In front of the God-Slaying Division, he overwhelmed everyone else and stole the show."

Yun Menglan brought all the servants from the palace to congratulate Fang Heng.

She bowed gracefully, her moon-white robe outlining her graceful curves and dignified and elegant temperament.

Fang Heng played with the beautiful woman's round buttocks and said unhappily.

"If possible, I would rather not be in the spotlight."

"Didn't you see the way the prince looked at me? He wanted to eat me up."

"Hahaha—the Crown Prince is narrow-minded. Who in the entire Yujing City doesn't know that?"

Snapped--

Fang Heng slapped the perky pink buttocks hard, pretending to scold.

"Your Highness, how can I allow you to criticize me?"

"You must never say this in front of outsiders."

Yun Menglan laughed charmingly. She could naturally hear that there was no blame in Fang Heng's tone.

She stretched her delicate head to Fang Heng's neck, exhaled a breath of orchid, and spoke in a charming voice.

"Please punish me, Your Highness!"

"The heavier the better!"

……

The next day.

It's noon.

Yun Menglan was still soundly asleep, feeling weak all over.

This is the consequence of "contradiction".

Recalling the scene last night when Yun Menglan's eyes rolled back, her pretty face collapsed, and mercury poured out.

Fang Heng couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Your Highness, the eunuch has arrived from the palace to deliver the imperial edict, and is waiting for you to receive it."

The servant came to the study and reported.

Imperial decree?

It is an imperial edict to reward myself!

Fang Heng thought secretly in his heart, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

Yesterday he exposed Zhou Jueyin's conspiracy, and it is important that his father express some opinion.

Yun Menglan was still asleep, so Fang Heng asked the other maids to help her straighten her clothes and put on the prince's dragon robe.

The robe is embroidered with nine golden python patterns, and auspicious cloud patterns are dotted between the python patterns.

She wore a jade belt around her waist, with a buckle inlaid with gemstones.

Both solemn and heroic.

Jade trees and orchids, a beautiful face.

Fang Heng put on his dragon robe and went to the main hall to receive the imperial edict.

In the main hall, Eunuch Su, who came to deliver the imperial edict, was sitting on a sandalwood chair, holding a white porcelain blue and white teacup in his hand, tasting the spiritual tea.

Seeing Fang Heng coming, he stood up and spoke with a smile.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

"Yesterday, His Majesty was so pleased that he specially gave all the Moonlight Dates in the palace to Concubine Ning."

Upon hearing that his mother had received a reward, Fang Heng nodded slightly, and looked forward to the contents of the imperial edict even more.

"Prince Dongdai accepted the order."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I have inherited a great cause and rule over all the lands. I work day and night to ensure the safety of the country.

The ninth prince, Fang Heng, is gifted with intelligence, upright character, keen observation, and both wise and courageous.

There has been a recent Meiyuan case, which has involved a wide range of people and is shrouded in suspicion.

The Ninth Prince personally investigated the case and made an swift judgment. His loyalty and diligence to the country deeply comforted me and also brought blessings to the royal family.

We hereby issue a special decree to commend his merits.

Allow the Ninth Prince Fang Heng to enter the imperial treasury and select an item to show my great grace and encourage your diligence.

Admire this! "

Upon hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Fang Heng's eyes lit up, like two bright rays of divine light that could tear through the dark night.

The imperial edict of Emperor Yuanchu first described how smart Fang Heng was and how he could see through Zhou Jueyin's conspiracy.

The latter part is his reward. Enter the royal treasury and select a treasure.

The treasures stored in the inner treasury are rare treasures accumulated by the Daqian dynasties.

Some are ancient jade relics, some are unique copies from previous dynasties, some are tributes from foreign countries, and some are magical weapons.

They are all the essence of heaven and earth, and cannot be obtained lightly without outstanding achievements.

The last time he entered the inner treasury, he was the one who was crowned a prince.

He made great contributions yesterday and entered the royal treasury again.

I don’t know how many royal family members will be envious and jealous of me.

"My son, I accept the order!"

Fang Heng's words were sonorous, powerful and resounding.

Eunuch Su sighed inwardly.

His Highness the Ninth Prince is truly favored by the Emperor and is in the Emperor's good graces.

After Fang Heng took the imperial edict, before he stood up, Eunuch Su took out a second imperial edict from the sandalwood box.

This?
Fang Heng was stunned for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

There is more than one imperial edict?
"Your Highness, there is another imperial edict."

"This is a great thing!"

Eunuch Su said with a smile that he had already known the contents of the imperial edict.

In his opinion, the content of the imperial edict was a great joy for the Ninth Prince.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:

I have received the mandate of Heaven to nurture the people and work diligently day and night to ensure the safety of the country.

The ninth prince, Fang Heng, was a descendant of a noble family, with a gentle disposition and both talent and virtue.

Hongye, a daughter of a merchant family, was born into a beautiful family. She had a dignified appearance, a kind heart, and behaved in a proper manner. She was known as a virtuous woman.

I have heard that Hongye is still unmarried and has both good morals and good looks. The Ninth Prince is also of marriageable age. I have personally considered the matter and feel that their personalities are compatible and they are a match made in heaven.

Special marriage:

The ninth prince Fang Heng married Hongye, a merchant girl.

The sixth day of November in the twenty-sixth year of Yuanchu was chosen as an auspicious date. The Ministry of Rites was ordered to prepare the ceremony, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was ordered to assist in the wedding ceremony.

I wish you two:
With one mind and one purpose, we live in harmony.

Admire this! "

After hearing the contents of the imperial edict, Fang Heng was completely stunned and forgot about the edict for a moment.

Marriage?

Me and Shang Hongye?
This……

why me?
Several of Shang Hongye's brothers vied with each other to present him with military books, but Shang Hongye didn't appreciate it.

I didn't give anything as a gift, but Shang Hongye actually took a fancy to me.

Could it be that Shang Hongye is obsessed with looks?
Are you mesmerized by your own stunning beauty?
At this moment, Fang Heng just felt a pain in his balls.

For ordinary people, marrying a girl like Shang Hongye is a blessing.

However, she is the only daughter of King Zhenbei.

Prince Zhenbei was feared by his father again.

This marriage is definitely a hot potato!
Therefore, Fang Heng has been playing a bystander role in Shang Hongye's choice of a son-in-law.

Unexpectedly, it still fell on my head.

According to the contents of the imperial edict, the marriage was completed in the 26th year of the Yuan Dynasty.

It is now the winter of the twenty-fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty, and there is only one year left until the wedding.

Once the emperor issues an edict, no objection is allowed.

He had to make this political marriage whether he wanted to or not.

No choice.

"Ninth Prince, why don't you accept the imperial edict and express your gratitude?"

"Could it be that you were so happy that you forgot to accept the order?"

After hearing Eunuch Su's reminder, Fang Heng came back to his senses, took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and accepted the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty, I accept your order and thank you for your grace."

The decree has been conveyed.

Eunuch Su didn't plan to stay any longer, so he asked.

"When does Your Highness plan to go to the inner treasury?"

He suppressed the turmoil in his heart, put the marriage aside for the time being, and thought about the treasure he was going to choose.

The opportunity to enter the royal treasury is rare, so Fang Heng naturally has to make good use of it.

Last time, I chose the twelfth-level immortal root glazed peach.

It is currently being enlightened and we will have to wait for some time.

this time……

Fang Heng plans to refine the Book of Life and Death.

The main materials for refining the Book of Life and Death are only the Netherworld Ghost Pages, and he is also lacking the Three Lives Stone and Yellow Spring Water.

"Eunuch Su, I wonder if there is a Three-Life Stone in the inner treasury?"

"Three Lives Stone?" Eunuch Su was stunned, then showed a thoughtful expression.

After thinking about it, I felt a little regretful.

"Your Highness, the Three Lives Stone is a specialty of the Netherworld. It's not common, and there aren't many in the inner treasury."

"The last piece of Sansheng Stone in the inner treasury was taken away by the Crown Prince last year."

The prince took it away?
Fang Heng frowned slightly and then asked.

"When will the inner treasury have a new Three Lives Stone?"

"This... our family is not sure."

"If I'm lucky, maybe tomorrow. If I'm unlucky, I'll probably have to wait three to five years."

Eunuch Su spoke truthfully.

These words made Fang Heng's heart sink, and he felt a little helpless.

The Three Lives Stone and Yellow Spring Water, these two treasures of heaven and earth, are both from the Nine Netherworlds.

However, the Three Lives Stone is rarer and more precious than the Yellow Spring Water.

Since there is no Three Lives Stone in the inner treasury, we have to settle for the next best thing and choose Yellow Spring Water.

"I wonder if there is any Yellow Spring water in the inner storehouse?"

"There's still plenty of Yellow Spring water!"

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. We will send someone to fetch you the Yellow Spring Water shortly."

Less than half an hour after Su Gonggong announced his departure, a eunuch brought the Yellow Spring Water to the palace.

The ghost pages of the underworld, the three-life stone and the water of the yellow spring.

Of the three main ingredients, two have been obtained.

As for the Three Lives Stone, the prince has exchanged it.

I don’t know, has it been used?

……

Wu Xiang Mansion, flower hall and warm room.

Wu Xiang and his family are having dinner.

The dishes are rich and fragrant.

Looking at the dishes that she used to like, Shen Qiu Shui had no appetite today.

"Dad, second brother, I'm full!"

"I'm going back to my room first."

Shen Qiu Shui stood up weakly and left the warm room in the flower hall.

Wu Xiang and Shen Yinhu looked at each other.

They all noticed that something was wrong with Shen Qiu Shui today.

"Qiu Shui, have you been troubled by anything lately?" Wu Xiang asked in a deep voice.

The majesty in his tone made it impossible to resist.

"This……"

Shen Yinhu showed a hesitant expression, not knowing whether to tell what happened between his younger sister and the Ninth Prince.

Seeing Shen Yinhu's hesitation, Wu Xiang snorted coldly.

"Ok?"

This cold snort immediately frightened Shen Yinhu, a brave general who was usually fearless.

Wu believes that a filial son is born under the stick.

Shen Yinhu grew up under the guidance of a godfather.

As soon as I heard my father's cold snort, I instinctively felt panic in my heart, cold sweats broke out, and I felt phantom pain in my buttocks.

Shen Yinhu showed an embarrassed expression and said bitterly.

"Dad, I'm afraid my younger sister has fallen in love with the Ninth Prince!"

"Your Majesty Ninth Prince?"

"How is Qiu Shui related to His Majesty the Ninth Prince?"

Wu Xiang frowned and asked in a cold voice.

"Dad, this matter has to start with the disaster relief porridge..."

Shen Yinhu started talking about the disaster relief and porridge distribution some time ago, and went on to talk about the Meiyuan case, when Shen Qiu Shui asked Fang Heng to treat her injuries.

After hearing this, Wu Xiang had no expression on his face.

Only Shen Yinhu's legs became weak and he trembled uncontrollably.

He understood Wu Xiang's expression very well.

He always had this expression before being punished with the godly stick.

No one understands the calm before the storm better than him.

"Go to the ancestral hall and ask for advice on the stick!"

Wu Xiang shouted loudly, and Shen Yinhu felt a black screen in front of his eyes, as if he saw his own miserable life.

"Dad, I don't accept it!"

"What did you do wrong, kid?"

"Where is wrong?"

"You still don't know what's wrong?"

"You haven't made any progress in these years!"
