Chapter 1206 Marriage

My aunt held a piece of lotus seed mooncake and sighed: "How could she come up with such a little thing? She actually stuffed salted egg yolk into the dumpling. It's really delicious. I've never liked dumplings. Yes, this is the only one I really like to eat.”

Ming Jing smiled and said, "Mom loves to eat. Tomorrow I will ask your daughter-in-law to go to the palace to ask for an audience with the Queen. She will reward her with a recipe and cook it for you every day when she comes back."

My aunt smiled and scolded: "You are the only one who knows how to please. No matter how delicious the dumplings are, I only eat two of them on August 15th. Who can eat them every day?"

The eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Liu, smiled and said, "My mother loves to eat. It's good for my daughter-in-law to learn from it and prepare it."

Mingwei sighed loudly on purpose: "Alas."

"On such a fine day, why are you sighing when you eat the pancakes rewarded by the Queen?" asked the Marquis.

"Seeing that my elder brother and sister-in-law are so filial to my parents, but my grandson is alone, I can't help but sigh." Mingwei said with a smile.

The adults just looked at each other.

The seventh girl of the Xiao family, who had originally fallen in love last year, had her marriage delayed because Mr. Xiao was involved with the rebel King Cheng.

It's hard to say whether this marriage will even count.

Prince Cheng was a traitor who was crucified on the pillar of shame. Not to mention him, even his sons and grandsons could not stand up for several lifetimes.

Who dares to have anything to do with him?

Those who were related to King Cheng, when the new emperor ascended the throne and the regime was unstable, they were not affected much, and they were gradually eliminated after that.

Although Miss Xiao Qi's father had some friendship with Prince Cheng, fortunately he did not participate in the rebellion.

I don’t know if the emperor is going easy on the Xiao family for the sake of the engagement between Miss Qi and the second young master of the Hou family.

In short, the emperor only demoted Mr. Xiao's position and gave him a warning, but did not touch their family much.

Even so, many dignitaries in Kyoto don't really want to associate with the Xiao family.

The Zhongyong Hou Mansion has a close relationship with the royal family, so there is some hesitation in this matter.

Don't get married, there is an engagement.

The Hou Mansion is not the kind of treacherous snobbery.

But if you marry and your granddaughter becomes the queen, it would not be good to marry a daughter-in-law who is related to the rebel party.

So the marriage was delayed.

Miss Xiao Qi also has integrity. She stays at home and is not impatient. He did not question the matter with the Hou Mansion.

If the Marquis refuses to marry her, she will not be resentful.

At this moment, Mingwei suddenly mentioned it, and the room became quiet.

Neither my uncle nor my aunt spoke.

After all, the second son is quite old.

The eldest brother Mingjing said: "Either, just delete the post. We'll see if it's suitable."

"I don't want it." Mingwei immediately refused, "Although I don't want to marry Miss Xiao Qi, but since we have made an engagement and then canceled it, it doesn't matter that I am a man. What should I do if I ask someone else's girl?"

"The waiter is right," the old Marquis said, "A marriage cannot be canceled at will. The emperor has not done anything to the Xiao family. Our family is so frightened that we want to cancel the engagement. Isn't this a slap in the face? This kind of thing I can't do such shameless things."

The uncle said: "What my father said is that this marriage must be arranged. But we still need to think about the specific method."

Mingxuan smiled and said, "Isn't this easy? Mother, why don't you go into the palace and ask to see the Queen, and let the Queen make up her mind?"

"Yes, why did I forget about that child?" My aunt said happily, "Just in time, I won the reward from the emperor and the empress, and I have to go to the palace to thank you."

Moon cakes have been popular since the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In addition, thank you Mo Ranjinnian for the reward.
