Chapter 453: 3 daughters and 3 sons-in-law?
Zhang Tingyu:!!!
Zhang Tingyu never dreamed that he would have to pay such a painful price for just a royal meal.
But the imperial edict had been issued, and as long as his daughter was not dead, she would definitely be the wife of the emperor's grandson.
No matter how unwilling he was, he didn't dare to ask the prince directly if he was dreaming. This relative is not what I want to be, do you know?
The wedding date will be brought forward...
Lord Zhang only frowned slightly and said, "This... is not that I don't want to, but it's almost midwinter now. No matter how simple everything is, it's too late before the New Year. But the next New Year will be the Emperor's 600,000th birthday, plus the imperial examination."
"The officials in the Ministry of Rites are already very busy, so it would be a shame to add to their burden, right?"
The work will last until next year, during which time the girl will be able to become familiar with all the palace rules and better adapt to the life of a royal woman.
It is also full of fatherly love.
Generally speaking, his words are reasonable and can deal with this situation.
but!
Although the cards are now out in the open and the battle for the throne has changed from nine dragons to nine sons working together, the healthy competition between the brothers still exists.
Especially the eldest prince.
Ever since he gave up the idea of winning the throne, that guy has completely stopped pretending.
You must confront the prince if you have the chance, and if you don't have the chance, you must create an opportunity to confront the prince.
Isn't it that Hongyu from their family and Hongxi from the prince's family were arranged to be married together?
Daqiansui began to reminisce about the past.
In those years, the prince and he had competed for who could give birth to the eldest grandson. It was only when the first wife gave birth to four golden flowers that the prince narrowly won.
After many years, the eldest prince is going to compete with the fourth emperor again.
what did you say?
According to the original historical line, Hongyu died at a young age and left no offspring?
Well.
The eldest prince took this matter very seriously. He visited many famous doctors early on and gave his son careful treatment.
Nowadays, Hongyu is already strong and healthy, not as thin as before.
She will definitely be able to give birth to the emperor's great-grandson before Hongxi.
The attitude was arrogant and the tone was affirmative. It easily aroused the prince's competitive heart, and that's why he wanted to kidnap his in-laws' daughter and make her his daughter-in-law as soon as possible after the imperial banquet.
How could Yinzhen have expected that his second brother, the Crown Prince, who was fine, would end up doing something like this?
he……
Yinxuan rubbed his eyes in surprise: [Oh my god, they're moving up the wedding date. Master Zhang is almost writing the word "unwilling" on his face!]
[Tsk tsk, as expected, although the royal family is rich and luxurious, if one gets it right, he can lead the entire family to success, such as the Tong Jia family of this dynasty. But those who truly love their daughters are unwilling to marry into the royal family from the bottom of their hearts.]
[Mr. Zhang Tingyu loved his daughters as much as his life, and was afraid that they would be wronged if they married into other families. He had three daughters, so he married three sons-in-law. Isn't this a famous story in history?]
what?
Kangxi and the other princes all stared at Zhang Tingyu in shock.
Who would have thought of this?
Hengchen actually loves his daughter so much.
Hongxi was even more confused: If he had known this, he should have spoken directly to his uncle as soon as he had a little idea. He would not have realized that he was not the kind of son-in-law that Taishan wanted in the future when the matter was almost settled.
Seeing that his beloved grandson was a little depressed, Kangxi could not help but frown: "My birthday will be in March next year. According to the rules, the birthday banquet will be advanced."
"Even if we are busy during the Enke exam, we will be able to return to peace after the Xingbang list is posted, and it won't delay Hongxi's marriage at all! Besides, if the Ministry of Rites can't handle this little busyness, what use do I have for them?"
Ah this...
Having almost accidentally harmed his former colleague, Zhang Tingyu quickly explained that the officials of the Ministry of Rites were all conscientious in their duties.
It was him. He couldn't bear to leave his daughter and wanted to keep her for a few more months.
"Besides enjoying the family time together, I have to prepare more dowry for her. Moreover, I also want my daughter to learn the palace rules. Otherwise, she will neglect the rules and make mistakes frequently after the wedding. Not only will she not be able to be a good wife to the emperor's grandson, but she will also distract him because of trivial matters..."
Now that things have been said, what else can Kangxi do?
I could only smile and nod: "I never thought that you, Hengchen, as a father, could be so thoughtful and considerate for your daughter."
Zhang Tingyu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. In order to ensure the safety and well-being of the princesses, you changed the ancestral system of raising nannies and sent princes to visit them from time to time to support the princesses."
"With your example, all the civil and military officials in the court will naturally want to emulate you."
So stop laughing, I learned all this from you.
In the past, Kangxi would have been very happy and proud.
But after hearing about how Zhang Tingyu had three daughters and then recruited three sons-in-law, Kangxi had to say that he was ashamed of himself.
Now he was thankful that no matter how much the old man loved his daughter, he was not crazy enough to reject the imperial decree directly, and repeatedly begged the emperor to withdraw his order.
I just wanted to buy my daughter more time so that she could prepare more calmly.
As for the little troubles of my good grandson?
Kangxi has already helped once, so how could he continue to refuse to give in?
Yin Xuan, who was watching the whole thing, shook his head regretfully: "I thought I could eat Hongxi's wedding candy as soon as possible, but Lord Zhang pushed it back to half a year later."
"You're getting married so late. When will I be able to see little Hongxi again?"
"Uncle Eighteen~"
Hongxi's handsome face turned red, and he was about to step forward to cover his eighteenth uncle's mouth.
As a result, a stack of banknotes was stuffed into his hand: "Here, come to the wedding, your eighteenth uncle is serious, I have even prepared the gift money. I plan to use it as a dowry for you."
"I, your eighteenth uncle, don't know anything about the etiquette process. I just heard that the more gifts, the more it shows that the husband's family values the bride. Your eighteenth uncle has money, so I'll just help you pay more attention to it~"
[You better be smart and find a chance to give the Zhang family girl some more money. Otherwise, the Zhang family is not honest and cannot afford or is not comfortable with a huge dowry, and the girl will lose face in front of other imperial grandsons and wives.]
The eldest prince felt that this was no different from calling his own Hongyu.
He was so angry that he stretched out his hand and said, "We'll share half when we meet. We're all nephews, and you, Eighteenth Brother, are not allowed to treat us differently."
At this moment, Yinxuan was relieved that he was actually rich.
He could easily take out a few banknotes and give some dowry to Hongyu, whom he was not very familiar with.
Like Hongseok?
That's impossible. The Eighteenth Prince himself is a bastard, so of course he wouldn't believe in the religion of the separation of legitimate and illegitimate children.
He immediately hugged his eldest nephew Hongxi in a bear hug: "There are different levels of relatives and different levels of friends. We are all nephews, but this one has been with me the longest, treats me the best, and is the one that I love the most."
"He's going to get married and start a family. As his uncle, I naturally attach great importance to it. Everyone agrees. No one objects, right?"
"Of course, I won't listen to anyone's objections. I will just do what's best for Hongxi!"
