Chapter 53 The Decree
Chapter 53 The Decree
I don't know if it was Xing Chenmu's special confession that the imperial decree was issued very quickly, and it was sent to the palace that afternoon, and even Wei Yan's decree was also sent over.
"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Zhenbei General Wei Yan, since entering the dynasty as a general, has guarded the border, quelled the chaotic party, and repeatedly made military exploits. He is indeed a model of a good general. A general's mansion, with a thousand taels of silver. Here it is."
Wei Yan took the decree to thank you, and when the messenger left, he carefully looked at the rewards, only to find that the mansion bestowed by the Holy Majesty was adjacent to Yong'an Palace: "This...the Majesty knows our relationship? "
"Well, I told the Holy One earlier." Seeing Wei Yan's solemn expression, Xing Chenxiu raised his eyebrows, "What? Ah Yan doesn't want the Holy Lord to know?"
"Ah? No, no, Zimu, don't get me wrong, I am, I am just a little nervous..." Wei Yan scratched his head, obviously all the slaves under him had retreated, and only Xing Chenxiu was in front of him. There should be nothing to be nervous about, but as soon as he remembered that His Majesty knew about the relationship between the two of them, he felt a little inexplicably uneasy.
"Why are you nervous? The Holy Majesty himself has the same relationship with Master Zhuo, and he won't make things difficult for you." Xing Chenxiu said helplessly.
"I know, but... after all, that is the Holy One." Maybe to Xing Chenxiu, Xing Chenmu is just the fourth younger brother who is close, but to Wei Yan, he is a high-ranking Holy Lord who needs to bow his head no matter what.
Seeing Wei Yan like this, Xing Chenxiu couldn't help but want to tease him: "Your Majesty is also an ordinary person, if you really think about it, he still has to call you sister-in-law."
It’s okay not to mention this, but he became even more nervous when he talked about it. Xing Chenxiu said again: “Your father went to pick up the queen mother and return to the palace. Don’t worry too much, let them get used to it first.”
After all, everyone still knows too little about him as a lord, and Wei Lin who has just been named a Marquis is the same. Xing Chenxiu doesn't care what others think of him, but with Wei Lin, he hopes that he can leave a good impression on the other party.
If two people want to be together for a long time, no matter how nervous and afraid they are, parents are indispensable. Wei Yan understands this truth in his heart, but just because he understands, he is even more worried: "My father, he is actually quite stubborn." If a person says something inappropriate afterwards, Zi Mu must not take it to heart."
"Of course not. After all, that's your father too. I have a sense of proportion."
The queen mother is an open-minded person. Recently, after eating Zhaili Buddha, she has become more indifferent to many things. Her only wish is to hope that they are all safe and sound, so Xing Chenxiu is not worried that the queen mother will embarrass Wei Yan, but Wei Lin needs it. Think long term.
After the imperial decree was promulgated, both Xing Chenxiu and Wei Yan began to receive a steady stream of invitations from officials. Xing Chenxiu was fine, because he had been reviewing memorials from various places for the Holy One in recent days. On the grounds of being busy with business, he pushed back those invitations.
But Wei Yan is different, he first returned to Luancheng, and now he has been promoted to an official. He has already been in the first rank of the official in less than [-] years.
But there are really too many invitations, and it is too energy-intensive to treat them one by one. If you pick a few people and meet them, it is easy to offend people if you spread them.
In the end, Xing Chenxiu thought of a way for him, counting the days, Wei Lin should return to Luan City in three to five days, Wei Yan's side has so many invitations, Wei Lin's side will only be more or less.
It's better to wait for Wei Lin to return to the residence and hold a banquet in Lord Hou's residence for all the officials. As the only son, Wei Yan can also be regarded as the head of the family, so he and his father will entertain everyone together.
Wei Yan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Alright, it's much easier than entertaining so many people alone."
"Well, I'll also go there at that time, and set the stage for Master Hou." Xing Chenxiu thought of something, and then sighed suddenly, "Based on our relationship, I can be regarded as half of the master, so I won't bother them anymore. Me, it's a pity that the time has not come yet, even if I go to the banquet, it can only be as a prince."
Wei Yan hugged him, and asked again: "Why don't you find a chance to hold a banquet in the palace as well?"
Recently, he was able to use official business as an excuse to evade, but after the sage came back, these human contacts were still unavoidable. Xing Chenxiu shook his head when he heard the words: "Many ministers still find it difficult to accept the title of assistant king for a while. I’m here to host a banquet. But I’m really going to entertain all the officials later, and I’m using another title.”
"What name?"
Xing Chenxiu leaned close to Wei Yan's ear, and said clearly in an extremely soft and ambiguous voice: "The wedding banquet."
"Cough, cough, cough..." Wei Yan choked on his own saliva and coughed violently.
"What are you so excited for?" Xing Chenxiu asked while comforting him, "Could it be that Ah Yan never thought about this?"
Wei Yan smiled wryly: "Ran Ying doesn't allow men to get married, not to mention Zimu's status is noble. It's not that I don't want to, but I dare not think about it. I am content with being a couple with Zimu for the rest of my life, and I don't care about that. Paper marriage certificate."
"But I care." Xing Chenxiu looked at him and said seriously.
"Zimu, you..."
"Don't worry, the Holy Majesty will definitely think carefully about how to pave the way if he wants to make Mr. Zhuo a successor. I have already temporarily taken over the state affairs for him, saving so much time. He will naturally be thoughtful about this aspect."
With Xing Chenmu's current emphasis on Zhuo Ying, Xing Chenxiu believes that day will not be too far away.

As Xing Chenxiu expected, the three-day guard Lin Hu returned to Luancheng with the queen mother, and he accepted Wei Lin's proposal and decided to hold a banquet in the Hou's mansion for all officials.
But such a large-scale banquet is not a trivial matter, and the things in it are very cumbersome, Wei Yan had to leave the palace temporarily and go home to take care of it for his parents.
As soon as he left, Xing Chenxiu felt that the palace suddenly became much emptier. It was okay when he was busy, but as long as he was free, every moment seemed to be very difficult. He just wanted Wei Yan to finish his work quickly so that he could return to his side.
The Hou's Mansion held a banquet on the tenth day of the lunar new year, and Xing Chenxiu got up early in the ninth day of the ninth day to order the housekeeper to go to the storeroom to make congratulatory gifts.
Wei Lin is no stranger to him. He spent a few days together on the way back to Luan City, and quickly picked out suitable supplies. However, Xing Chenxiu was completely unfamiliar with Wei Yan's mother. He only heard about it from Wei Yan. After hearing a few words about her, I didn't understand her likes and dislikes at all, so in the end, I could only follow the housekeeper's wishes and choose some jewelry and emeralds.
After finally making it to the tenth day of the lunar new year, Xing Chenxiu got up early in the morning, and after the preparations were made, the genius outside first appeared. Because of the status of the prince, it would be strange if he arrived first, so no matter how eager he was to see Wei Yan, at this time He could only bear with it, and he had to wait until Lin Dong, who was brought back by Wei Yan, delivered the letter to him before he could set off for the banquet.
As a result, Lin Dong didn't wait, but Wei Yan who drove here in person.
"Why did you come here by yourself?"
"When my father heard that the prince was coming, he was afraid of neglecting him, so he specially asked me to pick him up to the Marquis Mansion, and what's more..." Wei Yan jumped out of the carriage, stepped forward and pulled him into his arms In the middle, sighed, "Zimu, it's only a few days, why do I always feel like I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you so much that I'm going crazy."
