Chapter 240 Very Happy
Then the family of four left the palace and took a carriage back to Prince Jin's Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion and got off the carriage and entered the gate, he was greeted by the eunuch Wei Quanfu, the chief steward of the imperial court.
"Prince Jin, Princess Jin, please forgive me. On behalf of Your Majesty, I, following His Majesty's will, cannot greet you."
Wei Quanfu smiled as he looked at Prince Jin and his wife standing in front of him, with wrinkles on his face very obvious.
"Eunuch Wei is very polite. You are conveying the will of the Heavenly Family. The prince and the princess naturally understand it."
Jiang Jin didn't show any dissatisfaction when he heard this. He even had a smile on his face. After all, he already knew what purpose Wei Quanfu came to convey.
Mu Jiaojiao, who was standing next to Jiang Jin, had heard Wei Quanfu's call before, and then saw the smiling face of her man beside her, so she probably knew what was going on.
The thing that could make this black-hearted and clingy fox so obviously happy was probably that his identity was clear to Emperor Xuan He!
Mu Jiaojiao and Jiang Jin did not care about the recognition of the Dayu royal family. After all, whether they were in love or not had nothing to do with the people of the Dayu royal family.
But Jiang Jin wanted everyone in the world to know that Mu Jiaojiao was his, Jiang Jin's, wife for life.
He wanted everyone in the world to witness that he and his lovely wife were in perfect harmony and loved each other forever.
Wei Quanfu looked at Prince Jin, who had always been indifferent to everything since he was injured and recuperating. Now he looked at the bright yellow imperial edict in his hand like a young boy, and the smile on his face became even wider.
"Prince Jin Jiang Jin, Mu Jiaojiao receives the order!"
Wei Quanfu watched as all the maids and servants around him knelt down to listen to the announcement after hearing the imperial edict, but Prince Jin and his wife remained indifferent and did not kneel down.
There was a shrewd glint in his eyes, but he said nothing, as if he didn't notice anything wrong. He continued to read the imperial edict without any change in his tone.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said:
I have heard that Mu Jiaojiao, daughter of the Mu clan, is dignified and beautiful, gentle and chaste, and possesses both virtue and integrity. I am deeply impressed by her and have granted her marriage to Prince Jin as his principal wife, thereby consolidating the relationship and contributing to the prosperity of the imperial family. I hope you will live in harmony and respect in your marriage. I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare for the wedding, which will take place on the auspicious fifth day of the fifth month.
Admire this! "
"Ha ha……"
"Congratulations, Prince Jin, and congratulations, Princess Jin!"
After Wei Quanfu finished reading the decree, he was the first to congratulate Jiang Jin and Mu Jiaojiao.
Mu Jiaojiao was indeed a little surprised after hearing the imperial edict. She actually thought that Jiang Jin would ask the emperor for an imperial edict to prove her identity.
But she didn't expect that this man wanted to marry her again, and the time was so urgent, on the fifth day of next month, which really surprised her.
But when you think about it carefully, it makes sense. My man is indeed impatient when it comes to his own affairs.
"Thank you, father-in-law. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here!"
After Mu Jiaojiao thought about it, a helpless expression appeared on her face, but she did not panic and spoke politely to Wei Quanfu.
Seeing this, Yunyu, who had just stood up from her kneeling position, immediately took out a bulging purse from her sleeve and handed it to Wei Quanfu. The purse was filled with a heavy reward silver, and she said with a generous and sincere smile:
"Eunuch Wei has worked hard. This is a gift from the prince and princess. Let the eunuch share in their joy. I hope you won't despise it."
"Oh my! Miss Yunyu, you are really embarrassing me. I am so lucky to be able to share in the joy of the prince and princess today!"
Wei Quanfu looked at Yunyu, who was calm, generous and polite in her work, and had already made up his mind. Princess Mu of Prince Jin was so generous even to the maids around her, so she must not be too bad herself.
When he thought about the emperor's evaluation of the Mu family in the palace, he felt worried for Emperor Xuanhe.
But he didn't think about meddling in other people's business. As a servant, one should be blind when necessary and deaf when necessary.
After all, that's the only way to live longer, right?
As for the masters' affairs, they have their own plans...
After Wei Quanfu announced the decree, he took his happy eunuchs and happily returned to the palace with the reward silver to report.

There was also a joyful atmosphere in Prince Jin's mansion.
"Li Huan, pass the word down. Today, everyone in the mansion will be rewarded five taels of silver!"
Jiang Jin held the imperial edict in one hand and held Mu Jiaojiao's hand in the other. His face, which usually had no obvious mood swings, was now filled with a bright smile, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows looked particularly bold.
Mu Jiaojiao looked at Jiang Jin like this, and felt warm from the bottom of her heart. A smile appeared on her dignified and lazy face. She asked with a smile to Prince Jin who was looking at her laughing freely.
"Husband, are you so happy?"
When Jiang Jin heard his wife's words, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.
"Well, I am very happy in my heart!"
"I promised my wife that I would give her a life of luxury and prosperity!"
Mu Jiaojiao looked at his impulsive and uncontrollable appearance, and her lazy and charming eyes could not hide the affectionate smile.
She actually didn't realize at this time that she, like Jiang Jin, wanted to be with each other day and night, and live in peace all year round!
*
The news spread quickly within half an hour after the imperial edict was issued, and people from all parties who received the news had different reactions.
Just like the elegant room of Taoyao Pavilion where flowers are in full bloom all year round, it is completely different from the joyous atmosphere of Prince Jin's Mansion.
"What did you say? A marriage?"
Shan Xue, who had gone out early in the morning to keep an appointment, was now tightly holding a cup carved with pink peach blossoms, with a ferocious expression on her face.
"Yes... yes, miss."
"Outside, the news has already spread everywhere. Everyone is saying..."
The maid Bai Tao stood nervously by the side, answering hesitantly.
Shan Xue's usual cute little face was completely gone, her face was full of anger, and when she saw Bai Tao crying like she was hurt, she became even more angry and raised her voice.
"Why are you hesitating? What are people saying outside?"
Bai Tao was frightened by Shan Xue's anger, and closed her eyes and told everything she heard.
"Everyone is saying that Prince Jin and His Majesty have finally gotten their wish to marry Mu Jiaojiao of the Mu family. I'm afraid they will live in harmony from now on..."
"Snapped!"
Shan Xue threw the teacup in her hand hard at Bai Tao's side, scaring Bai Tao so much that her body went limp and she sat on the ground trembling.
"Useless things!"
Seeing Bai Tao's spineless look, Shan Xue kicked her and cursed her viciously and with disgust.
Bai Tao, who was lying limp on the ground after being kicked in the chest, held her aching chest with fear in her eyes.
"Jiang Jin, you are really great!"
"Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unfair to you and that Xingye Village woman you hold in your hands!"
As for the culprit, Shan Xue, she no longer looked at Bai Tao beside her. She pressed her hand tightly on the table, a hint of viciousness flashing in her eyes...
