Chapter 1226 Marriage Grant

Zhou Yizhi was not used to this title, so she looked at Yun Dai.

Yun Dai smiled and said, "Didn't the Emperor send me a letter saying that I could go to the arsenal to inspect the firearms? Yi Zhi happened to be interested in these, so I took her to have a look."

"I want you to rest more and don't be in a hurry."

"How can something that was finally produced be left gathering dust in a warehouse? I'm not that tired. I'm just testing a few firearms, no problem."

Since she insisted, Zhao Yuanjing had no choice but to agree.

"Let's go in the sedan chair, don't take the carriage, it's too bumpy," he warned.

Yun Dai smiled and said: "I'd rather take a carriage, it's faster. Besides, the arsenal is in the mountains and the road is not easy to walk. The sedan chair is not convenient."

When Zhao Yuanjing heard this, he had no choice but to give it up.

Yun Dai added: "In addition, there are two things I want to tell the emperor."

"What's up?"

"The first thing is the marriage of my second cousin from my maternal grandfather's family." Yun Dai said, "The second cousin and the seventh girl of the Xiao family have been engaged for a year, but they have never gotten married."

Zhao Yuanjing said indifferently: "Then let's get married. Why delay? Could it be that the Hou family has no money for the wedding, so they borrowed money from me?"

Yun Dai said with a smile: "Those who have land and property in the Marquis Mansion will not be so poor."

"so what?"

"Xiao Qi's father was once 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 asked curiously: "I haven't punished the Xiao family, but the Hou family is afraid and dare not marry her? This is not like the style of the old Lord Hou."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "Grandpa, uncles and cousins ​​naturally don't care about this. But they... are also thinking about me."

The Hou Mansion was also worried that marrying a girl from the Xiao family would arouse royal suspicion and have a negative impact on Yun Dai in the palace.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "It's hard for your grandfather's family to be so considerate of you. They even don't care about your grandson's marriage. In this case, I can't live up to their love and care for you."

He summoned Liu Dequan and said, "Let the cabinet draw up a decree to grant marriage to the second son of the Hou family and the seventh girl of the Xiao family."

Yun Dai was very happy, curtsied and said with a smile: "I will take the place of my grandfather, uncle and second cousin. Thank you very much for the emperor's grace."

"Speaking of which, the Xiao family did not participate in the rebellion. They were demoted from their official positions before to frighten the government and the opposition." Zhao Yuanjing thought for a while and said to Liu Dequan, "In addition, let the cabinet draft an order to restore the Xiao family's official positions."

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

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Dai'er's maternal grandfather's family is also my maternal grandfather's family, and Dai'er's cousin is also my cousin. This should be regarded as a wedding gift to my second cousin and my future second cousin's sister-in-law."

He reached out and touched Yun Dai's chin, "Queen, tell me, there is one more thing, what is it?"

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

It made Zhou Yizhi a little embarrassed.

Yun Dai pushed the emperor's hand away and said seriously: "This second thing is related to Yi Zhi."

"Oh?" Zhao Yuanjing actually guessed something. He glanced at Zhou Yizhi and said with a smile, "Let's talk."

Yun Dai said: "Didn't the Emperor promise her that he would let her out of the palace and fulfill her wish?"

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