Chapter 1226: Gift marriage

Zhou Yizhi was not accustomed to this name, so she looked at Yun Dai.

Yun Dai smiled: "Didn't the emperor send a letter to me saying that he can go

to the arsenal to inspect the firearms? It happened that Yizhi was interested

in these, so I took her to take a look."

"What I mean is to let you rest more, don't worry."

"How can the things that are produced with great difficulty be left in the

warehouse? I am not tired to the point. I just tested a few firearms, no

problem."

Since she insisted, Zhao Yuanjing had to agree.

"Go as a sedan chair, stop riding in the carriage, it's bumpy." He exhorted.

Yun Dai smiled and said: "I'm still willing to take a carriage, faster.

Besides, the arsenal is in the mountains, and the road is not easy to walk.

The sedan chair is not good."

Zhao Yuanjing had no choice but to hear this.

Yun Dai said again: "In addition, there are two more things, I want to tell

the emperor."

"what is the matter?"

"The first thing is the marriage of my grandfather's second cousin." Yun Dai

said, "The second cousin and Xiao's seventh girl have been engaged for one

year and have not been married."

Zhao Yuanjing didn't care much and said, "Then get married, why the delay?

Could it be that the Hou Mansion has no money to do the marriage and borrowed

money from me?"

Yun Dai said amusedly: "Hou Mansion has land and property, so it won't be poor

enough."

"So?"

"Xiao Qi's father used to be somewhat related to King Cheng. The emperor

should be aware of this matter." Yun Dai said, "Because of this matter, the

Xiao family's life in Beijing is not easy."

Zhao Yuanjing said strangely: "I didn't cure the Xiao family's crimes. The Hou

Mansion became afraid and didn't dare to marry her? This is not like the old

Hou Ye style."

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Grandfather and uncle's cousin, naturally they don't

care about these. But they...are all for my sake."

The Hou Mansion was also worried about marrying a girl from the Xiao family,

and the imperial jealousy that would have caused any bad influence on Yun Dai

in the palace.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "It's hard for your grandparents to be so willing to think

about you. Even the grandson's family affairs are ignored. If this is the

case, I can't live up to their love for you."

He summoned Liu Dequan and said: "Go and let the cabinet make an decree to

give the second son of the Hou Mansion and the seventh girl of the Xiao family

a marriage."

Yun Dai was very happy, bowed her knees, and smiled: "The concubine is for

grandparents, uncle and second cousin, thank you for the grace of the

emperor."

"Speaking of which, the Xiao family did not participate in the rebellion. They

previously demoted their official positions to deter the court and the

opposition." Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while and said to Liu Dequan, "In

addition, let the cabinet formulate an order to restore the official position

of the Xiao family."

Yun Dai smiled and said, "I am very satisfied if the emperor is willing to

give a marriage."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Dai'er's grandfather's family is also my

grandfather's family, and Dai'er's cousin is also my cousin. This is as a

wedding gift for the second cousin and the future second cousin."

He stretched out his hand and touched Yundai's chin, "Say the empress, one

more thing, what is it?"

In front of Zhou Yizhi, he did not shy away from such intimate actions.

It makes Zhou Yizhi a little embarrassed.

Yun Dai pushed away the emperor's hand and said with a serious face: "This

second incident is related to Yizhi."

"Oh?" Zhao Yuanjing actually guessed something, glanced at Zhou Yizhi, smiled,

"Say it."

Yun Dai said: "Didn't the emperor promise her to let her out of the palace and

fulfill her wish?"

Zhao Yuanjing said: "I promised. However, the Queen Mother has always refused

to let go."
