Of course, even if the marriage is granted, it is impossible to get married immediately. It can still be delayed for a year and a half. With the emperor's current strength, he can completely control everything before Meng Shu gets married.
At that time, as long as he issues an imperial edict, he can naturally prevent Meng Shu from getting married.
But the emperor did not do this, and instead chose to canonize Meng Shu as the queen first.
This shows how important Meng Shu is to him.
From today on, Meng Shu's identity has completely changed. She has been canonized as a queen. Although she will still live in the Duke's Mansion for the next three months, everyone must bow and kneel when they see her, including her. of relatives.
The palace will send nuns to teach her the rules, and maids and eunuchs will also be sent to serve her.
The ceremony for establishing the queen was scheduled for the sixth day of March.
Although time is tight, the most important thing for the royal family is people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is fully capable of preparing all matters for the emperor's wedding.
After the eunuch who delivered the order left, the old lady took Meng Shu's hand, her lips trembled, and after a moment she said: "You all should step aside. I have something to say to Shu'er... I have something to report to the Queen."
"Yes." Everyone walked out of the main courtyard in confusion.
"What's wrong with grandma?" Meng Shu asked quickly when she saw that her grandmother's face was a little pale. "
"The Emperor is kind, but the Emperor's body..." The old lady was worried.
As frail as the emperor is, how many years does he have left to live?
If your granddaughter gets married, she might become a widow in a few years.
The old lady did not ask Meng Shu to marry well, but she only asked her to marry a husband who loved her and live a harmonious life with her husband doting on her and her children being filial.
Meng Shu then remembered that although she told her grandmother about her and the emperor, she did not tell her that the emperor's current health was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Meng Shu pulled the old lady into the inner room and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, the old lady cried with joy: "That's good, that's good, God bless me, God bless me."
Her granddaughter had a troubled marriage, but now she finally has a good home.
The emperor canonized his granddaughter as the queen in advance. It can be seen that he was worried because there were always people coming to propose marriage in the past few days, and the queen mother wanted to grant a marriage to her granddaughter, so he hurriedly issued the imperial edict.
"I will send someone to Guiyun City to ask your father and mother to come back." Her daughter will get married in three months, and of course her son and daughter-in-law will have to come back in person to get married.
"If I had known that you were going to get married so soon, I shouldn't have asked your mother to go to Guiyun City before, so as to save her from traveling back and forth." The old lady laughed.
"If mother knew that I was getting married, she would be very happy and wouldn't feel tired from running around." Meng Shu said with a smile.
"Of course, your father and mother love you the most." After the old lady finished speaking, she quickly asked someone to make arrangements.
……
This imperial edict to establish the queen seemed like a thunder, exploding throughout the capital.
Many people were confused after hearing this.
Didn't it mean that the Queen Mother would personally marry Meng Shu?
Everyone was still speculating in the morning about who the Queen Mother would choose out of the dozens of families who had come to Meng's house to propose marriage in the past few days.
In addition, Wang Zhengqian still wants to eat young grass, and even when he is very old, he sends people to propose marriage. He wants to marry the eldest daughter of the princess of his country as his stepmother. Everyone is talking about it, saying that he wants to eat swan meat, absolutely. She would be rejected, but as soon as she turned around, the emperor appointed Meng Shu as his queen. The wedding was scheduled for the sixth day of March, which was exactly three months away.
Although it was a bit hasty, it can be seen that the emperor wanted to marry someone into the palace as soon as possible.
The object of heated discussion shifted from Wang Zhengqian to the emperor and Meng Shu.
It is the dream of every woman to have her mother grace the world.
Although Meng Shu's marriage had many twists and turns, she finally got to marry the emperor, which was really a blessing in disguise.
However, some people felt that she was unlucky to marry a seriously ill emperor.
No matter what others say, the servants of the British Duke's Palace, under the command of the Crown Prince's wife, Tian Shi, have opened the warehouse to count Meng Shu's dowry.
Meng Shu had a generous dowry, and since she was going to be the queen again this time, the Meng family would of course have to add a lot of dowry to her.
……
In the west courtyard, the sixth master Meng Huailiang was talking to his wife Huang about adding makeup to Meng Shu.
"Madam sent someone to open the warehouse and make a list of our most valuable things for me to see. I will personally select a few items to add to Shu'er's makeup."
"Yes, husband!" Huang nodded quickly and sent someone to prepare.
The last time she was sent back to her parents' home by Meng Huailiang, she suffered a lot.
Her father and mother were afraid that she would be divorced, so they forced her to write to Meng Huailiang every day to admit her mistake, begging him to forgive her and take her back to the Duke's Mansion.
The two sisters-in-law also said a lot of sarcastic words in front of her.
Nephews and nieces would avoid her when they saw her, as if she was stained with dirt.
Later, even her eldest brother and second brother reprimanded her, saying that she was rejected by her husband because of her poor moral character, which was really an insult to their Huang family's family tradition.
Huang's days were like years.
She was relieved when Meng Huailiang took her back.
She asked her two daughters and found out that it was Meng Shu who gave them the idea.
After experiencing so much, Mr. Huang no longer dared to act recklessly.
She finally saw clearly that her mother's family was polite to her because she married well.
Once she is divorced, her parents' family will not accept her, so there will be only death.
"Husband, it is indeed a honor for Shu'er to be the queen, but the emperor is not in good health. After Shu'er enters the palace... I'm afraid it will be a little difficult." Huang said in a low voice.
She no longer dared to target Meng Shu, but wanted to show her concern for Meng Shu in front of her husband.
"There is nothing we can do about this. Nothing can have the best of both worlds. I heard rumors before that the Queen Mother wanted to betroth Shu'er to Wang Zhengqian. In comparison, the Emperor is much better off." Meng Huailiang didn't know about it. He also thought that the emperor was in poor health and had only a few years to live.
He was worried for his niece, but he was unable to change everything. He could only add more dowry, hoping that she could live easier in the palace.
Money can make the world go round, and it is always good to have more money and treasures around you.
"What your husband said is true!" Huang nodded.
"It's getting late, Madam, please rest first. I'll go to the study to look at the account books for a while and come back later." After Meng Huailiang finished speaking, he got up and went out.
He had brought her back, but the things his wife had done and the words she had said had made him sad for a long time, and it was impossible for him not to have any grudges in his heart.
They had a big fight that day, and he realized that he was a self-proclaimed Qingliu man. Even though the Meng family was the Duke's residence, she originally didn't want to marry him. She was just following her parents' orders. After she got married, she even disliked him. Taking the imperial examination route without holding an official position, it is too tacky to say that he takes care of the general affairs of the house and deals with money all day long...
